Captain of My Wronged Seed of Pirates
95 Negotiation
Walking through the dark corridor, Crocodile led Robin to the cell where the three members of the Spade Pirates were imprisoned without saying a word.
Robin who followed him remained silent, because she knew very well that although in the previous incident with the Spade Pirates, she played more of a hostage under duress and a speculator who took advantage of the situation. character, but Crocodile's already weak trust in her became even more shaky.
When Shalang rushed towards her before, Robin really thought that Crocodile was planning to kill and silence him.
However, when she regained consciousness later, she discovered that she was not injured, and that Pola and Daz were not killed.
Then it is worth thinking about the motive of the attack that swallows everyone.
Is it to intimidate his subordinates who don't seem to be very loyal, or is it because he himself will fall into an extremely weak state after using that move, so he has to control all the people around him who can threaten him.
If it is the latter, then as long as there is a second chance, it is not impossible to defeat Crocodile.
It's just that it's not easy to get a second chance. All three members of the Spade Pirates have been arrested now. Robin alone can't do it if he wants to push Crocodile to that point again. arrive.
It's a bit funny to say that before seeing the battle between Crocodile and the Spade Pirates, Robin had the illusion that he could defeat Crocodile with a test tube of water.
Now it seems that Robin understands that he can't do anything on his own, and the key is to rescue the three Spade Pirates.
"Robin, how many people are there in their pirate group?"
Crocodile, who was walking in front, asked seemingly casually, without any additional emotion.
"Two more."
Robin wasn't going to lie about this, because it was pointless.Even if she doesn't tell the truth, Crocodile can learn the truth from other ways.
"Then do you know what the backhand that guy left behind?"
Crocodile then asked.
"No, I do not know."
Robin shook his head slightly and said,
"At that time, Sen Luo seemed to have handed a notebook to a man wearing a skull mask on the ship, asking him to act according to what was written in it if there was an accident. I don't know what was written in it specifically."
"Really?"
Crocodile turned his head, his originally vicious face and the dim lights around him looked very oppressive.
But Robin was not the kind of person who would be frightened by a simple aura. She smiled and nodded, "Of course, as a prisoner who is always locked in a cocoon of vines, I can only know so much."
"Is that so?"
Crocodile turned his head expressionlessly and continued to move forward without saying anything more.
Has peace returned to the underground cell...?
"Hey! You win again."
"Of course. How can you not lose by playing left and right like this? Speaking of Tic-Tac-Toe, a game like Tic-Tac-Toe where both parties can achieve a draw with a little attention, it's quite impressive that you can keep losing."
A slightly cheerful conversation came from the end of the corridor.
"Those two guys..."
The corner of Crocodile's mouth twitched a few times. This was the first time he encountered someone who could make such a sound in prison.And if he remembered correctly, the two people playing tic-tac-toe should be restrained by Hailoushi's handcuffs and shackles. It was a bit beyond his expectation that they could still be so energetic.
Not long after, Crocodile came to the cell where Sen Luo was held.
At this time, Sen Luo was sitting opposite Ace with his back to the cell railing, but he still raised his right hand to say hello to Crocodile.
"Hey, Mr. Crocodile, you are finally here."
Even without seeing Sen Luo's face, Crocodile could still imagine his slightly unbeatable expression.
It's obvious that he has been imprisoned, that one arm has not grown, and that his feet are bound by sea-floor stone shackles, but what's going on with his relaxed attitude as if he was playing at a friend's house?
"This tone is not what a prisoner should have. Can't you understand your current situation a little bit?"
He took out a cigar from his jacket pocket, cut off the end and lit it, and Crocodile puffed away as if he didn't care about anything.
"Of course I understand my situation and know that the three of us are now imprisoned."
As Moro spoke, he drew an x on the tic-tac-toe game between himself and Ace, and then smiled and said to Ace,
"I won again this time."
"Ah~~~ It was almost, just a little bit."
Ace squatted aside and drew circles with his head in his hands with an annoyed look on his face.
After ending the fight with Ace, Sen Luo turned around to face Crocodile.
However, Crocodile was not very willing to face Sen Luo. He moved his eyes away from Sen Luo and looked at the other two people in the cell.
In his opinion, it would be easier for Ace and Lamia to find a breakthrough than Senluo.
But Lamia was curled up in a ball in the corner of the cell and motionless, seemingly asleep.
Ace was also drawing circles on the ground with his back to Crocodile, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone else at all.
"Did you give the order in advance?"
Crocodile helplessly shifted his gaze back to Sen Luo.
"It seems I can only negotiate with you."
This was not entirely a compromise. Crocodile knew that directly asking Sen Luo the maker of this plan was more likely to yield results.
"There's nothing we can do. There are too many idiots on our ship. Now I'm the only one here who can still stand up to the occasion."
Sen Luo also looked extremely helpless.
"call--"
After blowing out a big mouthful of cigar smoke, Crocodile took off the cigar and clamped it in his hand. He looked down at Senluo and said, "Don't be so arrogant when you are in prison. Be a little more restrained and put your tail between your legs." It is in line with your current status. Young people should not be too arrogant, as this will easily lead to disadvantages."
Most of his tone was threatening, but it also seemed to contain some of the earnest words of an elder educating his younger generation.
But not only the threats, but also the teachings, Sen Luo had no intention of accepting them.
"How can you call yourself a young man if you're not full of energy?"
Senluo responded with a playful smile.
If it weren't for the fact that he had the memory of defeating the three Spade Pirates in his mind, Crocodile would almost doubt that the iron railings between him and Sen Luo no longer existed.
Looking at the golden hook on his left hand, Crocodile thought that he should give these three people a little more pain.
"Mr. Crocodile, it's true that the three of us are locked up in a prison, but why aren't you locked up in another, wider prison?"
Sen Luo interrupted Crocodile's thoughts of violence with a pretentious speech at the right time.
"Huh? I would like to hear who locked me up."
Although he felt that this was just nonsense, Crocodile still wanted to know what kind of statement Sen Luo had prepared.
Sen Luo did not answer Crocodile's question directly, but chose to ask:
"Is it possible that Mr. Crocodile does not feel that he is locked up?
It's really pitiful. The evidence is everywhere, but he doesn't realize that he has been locked in an invisible prison.
Mr. Crocodile, you are a pirate, and you should be the most free and unrestrained pirate, but you dare not go to the new world to face that man; you accepted the title of Shichibukai in order to prevent the navy from interfering with your plans; When faced with what you want, you don't dare to snatch it directly. Instead, you have to choose the method of stealing the country and going around in a big circle to get it.
What restricts our freedom is only the shackles of Hailoushi, but what restricts you, Mr. Crocodile, is your weakness. "
"What nonsense!"
Although Sen Luo's words did hit Crocodile's sore spot, he did not take any further action, because if he was violent to Sen Luo at this time, it would be almost equivalent to admitting his failure.
"Those of you who were defeated by me have no right to call others weak, and don't think that bluffing like this is useful."
"is it?"
Feeling the shaking in Crocodile's heart, Senluo said with a smile,
"Whether you think I'm bluffing or you think I'm crazy, but for the sake of all of us, Mr. Crocodile, it would be better for you to let us go."
"With this threatening tone, you don't think I'm really afraid, do you?"
Crocodile said with contempt,
"Pluto's information should be your last trump card. Even if I don't let you go, your companions won't dare to leak this information easily, because once you do, the three of you will really be dead. On the contrary It will be easier for the information about me to seek Pluto to be leaked after I let you go, isn't it?"
"Who said I was going to leak information about Pluto?"
Senluo stared at Crocodile with a smile, making him feel an inexplicable chill down his back.
"Then do you have any other methods that can threaten me? Could it be that your companions ran away in despair to bring in reinforcements?"
There are unwritten rules in this sea. As long as you have a certain degree of integrity, you will not easily let others interfere in your adventure.
But Sen Luo's feeling to Crocodile was not the type of guy who would slap a swollen face to make himself fat. He was a villain who would not hesitate to resort to extravagant moves in order to win.
So Crocodile was actually a little worried that the missing two people were looking for the mastermind behind the Spade Pirates.
But he still didn't show his concern on the surface, but instead put on a dismissive expression.
"Let's talk first. There are not many people in this sea who can defeat me. Even if your elders come, they are just a few more prisoners."
"Oh, really? Then you are really amazing!"
Senluo covered his mouth and tried not to laugh, because among the three people in the prison, only Ace had elders in this world, and among Ace's elders was Garp.
Although Crocodile is far stronger than in the comics, there should be no dispute that he cannot defeat Garp.
It was obvious that he had been praised, and it was the first time that Sen Luo used an honorific title, but Crocodile felt that he had been greatly despised.
"Let's get back to business, Mr. Crocodile, you don't want your relationship with a big-headed... let's call him sir, and you don't want the matter between you and that gentleman to be used as a headline by some albatross. Spread throughout the Grand Line, right?”
Sen Luo smiled and said the words that caused Crocodile's brain to shut down on the spot.
"Eh?! Do you know this too?"
Crocodile's hand holding the cigar trembled slightly, and his whole person fell into a sluggish state.
After coming back to his senses, Crocodile tore open the cell bars, entered the cell, grabbed Sen Luo by the collar, shook him and asked, "Where did you know about this!"
"It doesn't matter where you know it from. What matters is whether you want more people to know about it."
At this time, although Senluo was shaken so much that mosquito coils appeared in his eyes, he still spoke in a leisurely tone, as if he was a tauren warrior who often appears in indescribable comics and has mastered the heroine's control.
"Don't think that I will give in."
Crocodile squeezed out such a sentence through his teeth, but his action of putting Sen Luo down revealed his true thoughts.
Rather than coveting Pluto being discovered, he was still more worried about it being known to more people.
But he didn't want Sen Luo and others who knew his secret to leave alive. Naturally, the fewer people who caught him, the better.
After calming down, he realized that no matter what trump card Sen Luo had, his response methods remained the same.
After all, even if he let these three people go, his handle would not disappear from Sen Luo's mind. It would be safer to keep them and let the companions outside not dare to throw out their trump cards in consideration of their lives.
"Looks like he's calmed down."
Sen Luo stopped Crocodile before he was about to exit the cell.
"Then it's time to discuss cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
Crocodile subconsciously picked out his ears because he seriously doubted whether he heard correctly.
Why would the prisoners negotiate cooperation with me?
Did he have an auditory hallucination or did Sen Luo hallucinate?
"Yes, cooperation. I know very well that just threatening can't get us out of here, so we have to cooperate."
Senluo always maintained a smile that made Crocodile annoying.
Then he added before Crocodile was about to beat him to relieve his anger: "As I said before, Mr. Crocodile, you are too weak to gain your freedom on this sea and can only live in prison. Among them. You need power, the power that can ignore the current world structure. You also know this very well, so you are looking for the ancient weapon Pluto. But is just an ancient weapon enough? Pluto can really make you no longer Detained in prison?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Crocodile looked at Sen Luo with eyes that changed from disgust and impatience to seriousness.
And Senluo’s answer was——
"Another ancient weapon, Neptune, do you want it?"
Robin who followed him remained silent, because she knew very well that although in the previous incident with the Spade Pirates, she played more of a hostage under duress and a speculator who took advantage of the situation. character, but Crocodile's already weak trust in her became even more shaky.
When Shalang rushed towards her before, Robin really thought that Crocodile was planning to kill and silence him.
However, when she regained consciousness later, she discovered that she was not injured, and that Pola and Daz were not killed.
Then it is worth thinking about the motive of the attack that swallows everyone.
Is it to intimidate his subordinates who don't seem to be very loyal, or is it because he himself will fall into an extremely weak state after using that move, so he has to control all the people around him who can threaten him.
