One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Seeing the person in front of them clearly, the three people in the conference room were stunned for a long time.

Crocodile, who was the first to come back to his senses, was startled and took half a step back unconsciously, tensing his body in a defensive posture.

"you..."

"This..."

"you..."

Bucky was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After all, the combination of people in front of me is really weird.

"It seems like we came at the wrong time?"

Xia Qi put her left hand around her waist, raised her right hand in front of her body, and dusted off the cigarette ashes.

Several tall and strong figures stood upright behind her, exerting great pressure.

"Ah, Bucky, long time no see!"

"Ray...Mr. Raleigh!!!"

Bucky screamed, his body torn apart and flying in the air.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why are you here?"

"Where are the guards?"

"Ah ah ah~ Didn't I wake up?"

"Shut up! It's so noisy!"

Hawkeye scolded in a cold voice, and the cold murderous intent overflowed.Bucky shuddered and covered his mouth violently.

The eyes of the group of people at the door flashed slightly. In the moment of meeting each other, they had a rough understanding of the actual power structure of this Cross Guild.

Hawkeye cast his doubtful gaze on Crocodile, who had been silent since just now.

"Hey ha~Klock boy~Long time no see~"

Ivankov greeted Crocodile very warmly.

Xia Qi smiled slightly, strode forward, pulled the chair next to the conference table, and took the main seat in front of the three people.

Reilly pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes wandered around the conference room. When he saw the wine cabinet on the wall, his eyes lit up, and he walked over without hesitation.

Several people at the door also sat down unceremoniously around Xia Qi.

"Eh~ you..."

Bucky, who was dissatisfied with Xia Qi's seat, was about to speak when he was locked with several unkind glances.Then he silently swallowed the words in his mouth.

Pluto Rayleigh, Ambrio Ivankov, Charlotte Katakuri, Eustace Kidd, Trafalgar Law.

No matter which one, it seems that they are not existences that he can afford to offend.

But how did this group of people come together?

What is their purpose here?

Could it be that he wanted to join the Cross Guild and get a piece of the pie?

Bucky was still brainstorming, but Crocodile already understood the purpose of Xia Qi's trip.

I originally thought that now was the critical period for the fight for the big secret treasure. The Revolutionary Army and the World Government were facing each other, and the Straw Hat Pirates were at war with the Blackbeard Pirates. These two women should not be able to spare any time to pay attention to things here.

But I didn't expect that they would kill me directly!

And looking at this lineup, it's obvious that the opponent is coming with bad intentions.

The point is, Ivankov...

Thinking of this, Crocodile suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, put on a calm face, and asked: "Why are you here?"

"Hehe~"

Xia Qi chuckled.

"If I didn't come, the Cross Guild, which was established with my manpower and material resources, would probably be in ruins."

There was a lot of sarcasm in her words.

Hawkeye frowned, while Bucky looked surprised.

Crocodile's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone of voice was somewhat sullen.

"yours?"

"Is not it?"

"Have you forgotten how you secured your position as the Lord of the Black Market in the New World?"

Have an inside story?

Bucky keenly smelled the gossip, and regardless of being surprised, he moved his body back and silently pricked his ears.

When she mentioned this, Crocodile did not refute.

"But the Cross Guild..."

"Your Cross Guild also depends on me, doesn't it?"

"Once I take away the funding flow and information channels, your organization will be unable to move forward."

"To put it nicely, it's just a large pirate group."

"To put it harshly, it's a bunch of...rabble!"

There is no way to argue with that.

At this time, Crocodile felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The feeling of being controlled by others is really terrible!

This is why he has been secretly planning to break away from that woman and establish his own power.

But he didn't expect that Anne would be so defensive against him.

Even from the very beginning, the real person in charge of the black market was Xia Qi!

And he is just a shield to be pushed out!

"Just tell me what you want to do. What do you want to do?"

Having said this, he no longer wanted to deal with her.

"Since you are a smart person, why do you have to pretend to be crazy and act like a fool?"

"If I were just a part-time worker, wouldn't you know better than anyone else what she wants?"

Xia Qi frowned.

"Looking at the fact that we have worked together for two years, I would like to remind you kindly."

She pointed at the few men behind her who had been silent and cold-faced since they came in.

"If we really break up with her, she will never show mercy."

"what???"

"What are you talking about?"

"Why can't I understand a word of it?"

"Who is he?"

"What do you mean you've been working together for two years?"

"Who are you?"

Bucky was confused.

A pair of eyes looked left and right, but no one present seemed to want to answer his questions.

At this point, Hawkeye probably figured out the cause and effect.

Almost none of the power in Crocodile's hands, including merchant ships, markets, industrial chains, information channels, etc., belong to him.

No, maybe after these two years of operation, he has also established his own power.But all of this was nothing compared to what the woman in front of him had in his hands.

There is someone else in power behind the black market, and in this Cross Guild built on the basis of the black market, the three of them are completely puppet-like existences.

It's ridiculous that they both used Bucky as a shield in front of them, but they didn't expect that the real shield was themselves!

Even if the strength of the two of them is considered to be second to none in this sea, it is really nothing in front of the actual person in power.

Because there are so many strong men under that man!

They don't even have the qualifications to negotiate terms with the person behind them.

The presence of these people in front of them is the intimidation and threat from the person behind them!

Pluto Rayleigh, a legend from the past era.

Ivankov represents the power of the revolutionary army.

Eustace Kidd and Trafalgar Law once teamed up to defeat BIGMOM, the former Emperor of the Sea.

Katakuri is behind the BIGMOM pirates, who disappeared after the navy's attack on Totland.

These forces that are obviously unrelated and should even compete with each other are entangled together. With their own strength, they can only avoid their sharp edges.

As for Bucky.

Both of them had completely ignored this man's existence.
