Chapter 666 On the fuck(1/2)
"Conditions? What conditions?"
Seeing that things were finally making some progress, Crocodile became a little more patient, and his face was no longer so ugly. Instead, he sat up a little straighter and looked at Crocodile.
Katakuri was also a little curious. He didn't think Mihawk would be the kind of person who would be deceived by others in just two or three sentences. If he wanted to deceive Mihawk, it would be useless to say one sentence or more.
Crocodile's words just now obviously did not impress Mihawk, or in other words, Crocodile's proposal did not impress any of them.
Who is the enemy of the World Government? Who dares not to shout a few words after going to sea? But it is one thing to shout, but it is another thing to actually do it.
Katakuri has his concerns. After all, he has a family, dozens of younger brothers, sisters, and a home all on his shoulders, and he is not too anxious.
After His Majesty the Shichibukai system was abolished and the status of the Shichibukai was banned, he, Katakuri, was still the emperor of the New World, sitting on all nations and controlling the navigation passes of the New World.
At most, he has lost his privileges and cannot take the initiative to do business. But with his current contacts with major forces, what can he not get? Or do business in their name. As long as it is done cleanly, the Navy cannot do it one by one.
Go check it out.
As for whether the navy will attack all nations? Unless the navy wants to go back to being a dog for the world government, it is impossible to really fight to destroy Totland.
Moreover, even if the Navy can't think of it and wants to go back to being a dog for the World Government, it still has to see if the World Government wants it.
Therefore, Katakuri is not worried at all about Totland's self-protection, and there is no need to follow Crocodile to do these crazy things.
Although he already had a cooperation agreement with the Revolutionary Army, not every word of that agreement was written down on paper. Everything was verbal. Even if the World Government was suspicious, it would not go to great lengths.
But it's different with Crocodile. Crocodile plans to "copycat" a world government and start a confrontation with the world government.
And if things really develop as Crocodile said, the moment they form an alliance in the Shichibukai and have actual contact with the revolutionary army, I am afraid that all the idle CPs will swarm towards the forces of the Cross Guild.
How annoying would that be, not to mention that the World Government may launch a deadly attack at any time after seeing the revolutionary army's power grow again.
Katakuri is not afraid of the navy or CP, but he still has some scruples about some things hidden by the World Government.
As for the others, Bucky is not the kind of person who does great things for the sake of justice, and Cavendish is just an ignorant and desireless young man.
In a sense, Cavendish represents the revolutionary army that wants to overthrow the old era. After all, he is the prince of the Bourgeois Kingdom.
But not every royal family and nobles in the participating countries are people like Sabo.
As for Mihawk? He has no worries about bringing up his family. He has no worries about joining the surrounding forces of the Revolutionary Army or even directly joining the Revolutionary Army. But similarly, he has no need to join the Revolutionary Army.
With his strength, he is not afraid of being wanted by the World Government at all. With one man, one sword and one coffin, he can survive wherever he goes, and he has no home.
After all, Krai Kana Island is not Mihawk's home, but a post-war ruins he discovered. To put it bluntly, it is just a place to stay, and changing to another one will not put any psychological burden on him at all.
Therefore, the indifference and lack of enthusiasm shown by Mihawk before seemed to Katakuri to be natural and taken for granted.
His strength, experience and personality gave Mihawk no reason to cooperate with Crocodile and the Revolutionary Army.
But the sudden change of attitude at this time made Katakuri a little confused, because no matter what he thought, it was unreasonable.
Bucky and Cavendish finally reacted at this time and looked at Mihawk with curiosity. When Bucky founded Bucky Express, he sent invitations to many people.
Mihawk is also on his recruitment list. After all, Mihawk is the world's greatest swordsman, so no matter which force he joins, he will become a living symbol of that force.
If Bucky Express had Mihawk's door, it would be extremely easy to open up the high-end market even without Mihawk's intervention. However, Mihawk didn't even respond to Bucky's invitation.
Mihawk wouldn't do any business that was just a name to get money for free. Bucky really didn't think that he would join any bullshit Cross Guild. Bucky felt that among all the clowns in the world, none of them would be like Crocodile.
The proposal is funny.
But Mihawk changed his mind, which made Bucky have to wonder what kind of conditions it would take to recruit Mihawk. Maybe he could also steal Mihawk's advice and let Bucky also associate with him.
express delivery.
Mihawk, who heard Crocodile's rhetorical question, touched his chin and beard, and said, "I forgot to mention that the conditions for my joining have nothing to do with you."
""
Crocodile's complexion, which had finally improved, suddenly collapsed. It had nothing to do with her conditions, so why did she say it? Also, she was the one who planned the Cross Guild, how could there be anything that had nothing to do with her?!
Crocodile was choked heavily by Mihawk, and the corners of the other people's eyes also twitched. They were all sitting in a row waiting for Mihawk's answer with curious expressions on their faces, but in the end, Mihawk had enough appetite and didn't say anything.
As the master, Katakuri looked at the awkward atmosphere around him and said to Crocodile: "Tell me your plan.
You can't just come to me and tell everyone about forming a force, right? As for business planning, can you introduce the organization you are going to create?"
Over the years, Katakuri has talked so much about cooperation with people that he almost became bald. However, although he adjusted later, he still has the attitude of a venture capitalist.
Crocodile frowned, a little disgusted with Katakuri's condescending and giving attitude, but he could only endure it for the time being, and finally said:
"I know that several of you feel that you still have the ability to protect yourself and even continue to develop even after the World Government abolishes the Shichibukai system.
But have you ever thought about a question, even if you have the power to protect yourself and the ability to continue to develop your own power, why do we have to be controlled by the world government?
Once there is no world government in this world, the shackles that will be placed on you after the abolition of the Shichibukai system will no longer exist.
Bucky, you have now founded Bucky Express and made a lot of money from the war, but you also know that it is not a long-term business. Once the revolutionary army sweeps across the world, you will lose the market.
So you will also develop a real logistics industry, and now you seem to have taken my money to create a news studio?"
As Crocodile spoke, she still couldn't help but think of Bucky not paying back the money but developing new forces instead. This made her angry and her teeth itched, and her tone gradually became cold.
Bucky was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly and said: "You also know that war money is not easy to make. If I don't develop new business, I will have to slowly use up the money you gave me."
"Hmph!" Crocodile snorted and did not care, but continued: "Without saying so much, just think about it, once the world government is overthrown and the revolutionary army becomes the new government, then
The new government needs a mouthpiece, just like the World Economic News. At the same time, in the future trend of intelligence, information, and resource transfer becoming more and more futuristic, your logistics company is also a necessity for the new government.
Think about it, if you invest in shares at this time and gain the trust of the Revolutionary Army in advance, how much profit can you make from it after the Revolutionary Army succeeds? Of course, you still have to pay back my money."
Bucky's eyes gradually revealed a fanatical gaze. What he had always wanted to do was report from other fields and seize areas that the World Economic News did not cover. However,
Why bother? Just like Crocodile said, directly replace the World Economic News and make your own newspaper the mainstream of this sea. By then, even if you are lying down, there will be a steady stream of money in your account, right?
This idea made him so excited that he forgot about Crocodile reminding him to pay back the money.
Compared with the profits from that market, what is the money he owes Crocodile? It's just a hair on the body of a cow. Bucky slapped the table and said: "Do it! Install the mouthpiece of the Revolutionary Army!"
I have attracted countless talents, planning, creativity, publicity, marketing, printing, local promotion, customer acquisition, and conversion one-stop service! I will definitely publicize all the feats of the Cross Guild and the Revolutionary Army to everyone in the sea!"
Hearing this, Crocodile complained: "Is that a news studio? Or an advertising agency?"
“When I founded Baki News Studio, I wanted to build a one-stop cultural and publicity center covering six major areas, covering all business types, with wide coverage. What I want to build is a unicorn!
I can do the publicity that World Economic News can do! I can also do the publicity that Morgans, the birdman, can’t do!”
Bucky said very proudly, but he didn't notice that several other people rolled their eyes almost at the same time. This guy is hopeless, and this can no longer be induced by a little profit.
But Crocodile drew a piece of pie on the ground, and Bucky jumped on it and ate it, so he just paid it back to the boss?
After drawing the cake for Bucky, Crocodile looked at Cavendish again. The reason why he didn't try to impress Katakuri first was because convincing Katakuri was the most difficult task.
Therefore, Crocodile chose to sort from low to high difficulty, deceived Bucky who was the best to deceive, and then persuaded Cavendish.
Including Mihawk who has already agreed, she has completed 75% of the persuasion work. With the opinions of the "majority", it will not be too difficult to persuade Katakuri.
Cavendish, who was being targeted by Crocodile, showed an elegant smile, a smile that felt alienated.
He didn't think Crocodile could convince him. After all, he was already in a state of almost having no desires and desires. After so many years of "practice" in Totland, he had no pursuit except swordsmanship.
The fame and popularity he pursued when he was young have now settled down. Although he can still be considered a young man now, his state of mind is different.
Crocodile looked at Cavendish, thinking about countermeasures, and then said: "Whether it is the Bourgeois Kingdom or the Rommel Kingdom, they are now the places that the revolutionary army wants to revolutionize and liberate."
The calm Cavendish frowned when he heard Crocodile's words, and the smile disappeared from his face. He looked at Crocodile and asked coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Cavendish is a prince of the Bourgeois Kingdom. The current king of the Bourgeois Kingdom is his father. He was born in the Bourgeois Kingdom. When he was young, he was exiled to the Rommel Kingdom because of his good looks.
In the Rommel Kingdom, Cavendish began to grow up. Later, because of his second personality, he committed a crime in the Rommel Kingdom and had to leave and become a pirate.
But these two kingdoms are extremely important to Cavendish. If Crocodile really uses these two kingdoms as a threat, Cavendish might really choose to commit himself.
The toughness he showed at this time was actually just a tough look but a soft heart. Of course, after committing himself, it was hard to say what he would do to harm the interests of the Cross Guild and the Revolutionary Army.
However, Crocodile shook his head and said: "No, I am just giving you a chance for redemption. By joining the Cross Guild, the Bourgeois Kingdom and the Rommel Kingdom will have the opportunity to reform themselves.
Your relatives and old friends can all survive, you just need to carry out reforms in accordance with the revolutionary army's wishes.
Cavendish, you haven't forgotten the trouble your existence has caused to these two kingdoms, right? Or is it that your seclusion in recent years has made you want to avoid even these?"
Cavendish pursed his lips tightly. He was indeed ashamed of the two kingdoms. He harmed the Bourgeois Kingdom spiritually and the Rommel Kingdom materially.
Especially the latter. He was really in the Rommel Kingdom and hurt a lot of people. He wanted to repay these two kingdoms, such as
After he truly succeeds in his swordsmanship, he returns to the Bourgeois Kingdom or the Rommel Kingdom and serves as a guardian like Ryoma, the dragon-slaying warrior of Wano.
Katakuri looked at this younger brother "Carmen" and said, "The prerequisite is that the revolutionary army succeeds, right?"
In one sentence, Cavendish woke up. Whether Crocodile said it was a threat or that it gave Cavendish a chance for redemption, it was all based on the success of the revolutionary army.
If the Revolutionary Army fails to succeed, then not only will Cavendish be troubled, but even the piece of cake that Bucky just swallowed like a gulp will be nothing more than moonlight in the mirror.
Seeing that Cavendish had escaped Crocodile's trap, Katakuri changed his gaze, looked at Crocodile, and said, "I'm curious, when did you become a salesman for the Revolutionary Army?"
Hearing this, Crocodile lowered his eyes, and then said calmly: "Because that's the only place I can stay."
"Really? I thought someone stipulated that you can only join the revolutionary army."
Katakuri didn't hesitate. In fact, he had his own answer in his heart, which was what he said. Crocodile joining the revolutionary army was definitely not her own idea.
Dorag is a speaker who is very good at winning over people, but so is Crocodile. At the same time, Crocodile also has his own ambitions. How could he choose to join the revolutionary army without external factors?
Crocodile showed a somewhat awkward smile at this time and said: "Join the revolutionary army? Don't be kidding, I am not a revolutionary army."
