Chapter 499 Pushing the Phantom of the City

"How could this happen?! No! This is not right! It should be the fruit of Anan, it should be the fruit of Anan!!!"

On an uninhabited island in the New World, Tiqi sat down on the ground, looking at the densely packed teeth in his hand, his whole body fell into pain, this is not the fruit he wanted!

"No! This must be wrong!"

Tiqi kept muttering, suddenly, he thought of something, and ran towards not far away, where half a devil fruit fell.

Tiqi has a deep understanding of Devil Fruits, and he naturally knows that Devil Fruits do not need to be swallowed completely to obtain the fruit power, so he just took a big mouthful, and did not swallow them all.

He picked up the half of the Devil Fruit on the ground, and after looking carefully, his face turned livid, and then gradually became silent like dead ashes.

Peels, two layers of peels!

With trembling hands, Tiqi slowly peeled off a layer of flesh, revealing the lower layer of peel, which is a disgusting tooth-shaped peel, which is not a dark fruit at all.

This is a tooth fruit that has been carefully camouflaged!

"Pa-ta~"

The fruit slipped from his hand, and his body couldn't help shaking violently. He didn't understand, and he didn't understand who it was that would use such a joke to entrap him.

Suddenly, two faces appeared in his mind, one with flamboyant red hair and the other with a funny red nose.

"Red-haired Shanks! One thousand taels of Bucky!"

After thinking about it, only these two people have the reason to entrap him, and such a ridiculous method, only those two bastards can think of it? !

Teach remembers those two bastards, not only because he secretly fought Shanks in the early years and left a scar on his face, but he actually cares about the other person more.

Bucky! The crew of One Piece who disappeared for 20 years, although he has "disappeared" for 20 years, Tichi will never forget that clown.

He looked crazy, and he was very cowardly when fighting, but in Tiqi's eyes, Bucky was definitely a very scary person, and he could only be said to be a guy who was good at hiding just like himself.

Among the Whitebeard Pirates, many people know that he doesn't need to sleep, he spends a lot more time than others, and he has never seen anyone else who doesn't need to sleep like him .

But that Bakitic remembered the first time they met, it was an encounter between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, they fought for three days and three nights, and then kept drinking.

When Roger and Whitebeard fell asleep tired after the battle and the banquet, only the clown Bucky stared at himself every night.

Obviously, he was about to fall asleep in the next second, but with the perseverance of that bastard, a person who needs normal sleep time actually monitored himself, a person who didn't need sleep, for three full days.

And it was the kind that didn't relax for a second. He didn't need to sleep, but in the past three days, he was so tired that he closed his eyes and rested a few times.

But that Bucky was different, he was obviously too sleepy, but he could stare at him excitedly.

If it wasn't for the red-haired boy's stop, Tiqi wouldn't know how long Bucky could keep staring at him. Fortunately, Bucky didn't have any surveillance skills at all, so he was discovered by himself.

Now it seems that these two people may have been full of hostility towards him a long time ago, right?

And the relationship between the two is so good, if Bucky learns that Shanks was hurt by him, it is not impossible to investigate some information, and then set up such a game against his subordinates.

It's just that even Tichi himself can't figure it out, how did these two people know about his desire for the dark fruit, this ambition hidden in the deepest part of his heart, which even the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates who spend time together day and night have not discovered?

"clatter!"

Tiqi supported the tree beside him with one hand, and the teeth on his hand, perhaps feeling the anger in Tiqi's heart, were constantly gnawing on the big tree.

"hateful!!!"

"boom!"

The more Tiqi thought about it, the more angry he became, and the other hand directly smashed on the stone on the other side. The hard teeth in his hand directly crushed time into powder.

"Shanks Bucky, one day, I will make you pay the price!"

After finishing speaking viciously, Tiqi straightened up, the teeth on his hands slowly retreated under the flesh, and a look of extreme pain appeared on his face.

It's not because of heartache, or not only because of heartache, but also because every time these teeth come out, it's like squeezing his flesh, which is extremely painful.

After all the teeth were retracted, he looked towards the direction of the sea. There was a dilapidated boat on the beach. He had to find a way to get out of here. He couldn't even catch fish to eat now. If he stayed here, he would starve to death. .

In the G-5 branch, Skyler's smile of success because of her troubles was gone. She frowned and looked at the weekly report sent by the Navy.

"Crocodile is missing? Heh! Nurkic, go and ask Magellan, what does it mean that Crocodile is missing!"

The dark-faced Skyler stood up and paced back and forth in his office. Nurkic, who was working at his desk, suddenly felt the pain of being scratched on the surface of his body by a sharp weapon.

It's just that he's quite used to this kind of pain, and after hearing Skyler's words, he was also a little puzzled.

Because Skyler came to work in the branch office today, and Skyler was there when the weekly report was delivered, so he hadn't even read the weekly report faxed from the Navy Headquarters.

Skyler noticed Nurkic's puzzled eyes, picked up the faxed weekly newspaper on the table, and handed it directly to Nurkic. Nurkic took it and looked at it twice, frowning.

Crocodile disappeared on the way from the upper ground floor of the advancement city to the sixth underground floor while wearing the Hailou stone shackles.

The jailer in charge of the transport was in a coma. When he woke up, Crocodile had disappeared, but there were two more people, that is, White Beard II and miss Bajin who had disappeared in the advance city for several years.

Whitebeard II Weibull was in a stupid state, and the jailer couldn't find any useful information from torture. As for Miss Ba Jin, he was also crazy.

And it's not pretending to be crazy, it's more like after accepting some evil scientist's experiment, he completely lost the ability to think, and he couldn't even eat by himself.

This is a very strange thing. In fact, the disappearance of Weibull in Advance City has caused a lot of trouble before. Not only Weibull, but also some prisoners before him disappeared inexplicably.

But after Shiliu was arrested, these charges were also added to Shiliu's head. The strange thing is that Shiliu did not deny these charges, but said that he couldn't remember clearly, maybe he was killed.

And after Shiliu was arrested, the inexplicable disappearance of prisoners in the advancing city no longer happened, so most people believed that Shiliu actually killed those prisoners secretly.

Since any of those prisoners could be sentenced to death, but they were imprisoned in Jinjin City for some special reasons, so no one pursued them.

Nurkic remembered that when his chief heard the news, he replied "nonsense"!

Now that the prisoner disappeared again in the city of advance, can it prove that those people were not killed by Shiliu, and that his chief actually knew the inside story of this incident?

Then his own chief may not be angry with the disappearance of Crocodile, but angry with the person or organization who transferred Crocodile.

Soon, an organization appeared in Nurkic's mind, and there was only one organization that could keep Skyler from reporting, especially this "crime".

That is. Revolutionary Army!

But why did the revolutionary army rob Crocodile? Also, what exactly does your own official want to do?

If Crocodile is to be found out, then, since she knows the inside story, it would be better if she went there herself. Why did she ask herself the question?

Could it be that the chief of his family wanted to contact Jinjincheng himself, and then let Jinjincheng self-inspect, so that the disappearance of Crocodile could be confirmed?

But what good would it do? After all, their own officials will support the Revolutionary Army, but they hate pirates to the bone. Does this approach allow the Revolutionary Army to have the combat power of Crocodile?

After all, Crocodile at that time, under Schuyler's suggestion, was charged with participating in revolutionary actions, and the World Government also convicted him in the same way.

In other words, at least according to the public, Crocodile is already a member of the revolutionary army, even if he did not join the revolutionary army led by Dorag, he can be regarded as a spontaneous revolutionary army driven by him.

After the advance city is cleaned up, a notice will be sent to the navy to confirm that Crocodile will no longer advance into the city, and the navy is expected to restart the reward for Crocodile.

And the reward at that time will not be comparable to what he had before joining Qibuhai, and it will even be so high that Crocodile's strength cannot match it at all.

At that time, even if Crocodile really comes out of the advancing city, he will not be able to go to sea freely, and the only way is to join the revolutionary army.

So. This is a plan to allow the Revolutionary Army to own Crocodile, not to allow Crocodile to join the Revolutionary Army. When the time comes, the Revolutionary Army will take the initiative, and it will also meet the interests and needs of its own officials.

"I see, sir, I'll go back and ask Director Magellan, and try to get him to search and arrest Advance City."

Nurkic nodded and stood up, took the phone bug and walked out, Skyler ignored it, she believed that Nurkic could handle this matter well.

She knew that Crocodile was most likely on the 5.5th floor underground, but she didn't know where the entrance to the so-called 5.5th floor was.

Unless Advance City is willing to let Skyler demolish it, Skyler has not found a solution to the 5.5th floor, and Magellan, who is more familiar with Advance City, is more likely to find it.

"Where am I?!"

At this time, on the 5.5th floor of Jinjin City, a person woke up and looked around vigilantly, only a group of very strange people could be seen.

"Hi-hop! See you again! Sand boy, or say"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, and Crocodile showed an unbelievable expression on his face. He turned his head with difficulty, but he was tied to a shelf and couldn't turn his head completely.

"You!!! Ivankov?!"

But Crocodile still recognized the owner of the voice. At this time, Ivankov, who had a big head and was dressed extremely coquettishly, even wearing net stockings, walked around in front of Crocodile.

After many years, seeing this "old friend" again, Crocodile's face was very complicated. Ivankov sat on a chair welded with various steel pipes, looked at Crocodile, and said:

"At that time, you were invited to join us, but you rejected it straight away. Did you actually come back by yourself now?"

Hearing that Ivankov stopped the topic just now, Crocodile was relieved, and the panic in his eyes quickly put away. He looked at Ivankov and said hoarsely:

"I don't know what you mean. Those crimes were just imposed on me by the navy and the world government. I have no interest in joining you."

"Is that so? You know, I have concealed your secrets from anyone in front of me. Are you sure you still want to put on such an air of arrogance in front of me?"

Hearing Ivankov's words, Crocodile's face became even more gloomy, yes! You Ivankov didn't tell Drago about his Crocodile secret.

but! ! ! It was precisely because you didn't reveal the secret that Dorag beat him up when he left the navy.

Maybe Drago and Ivankov hadn't been on the line at that time, but Crocodile couldn't control that much. After all, Drago's Dragon Claw Fist, which was born out of Garp's iron fist, was very painful!

Seeing that Crocodile's face became very ugly, Ivankov smiled and continued: "Are you sure you don't want to join the Revolutionary Army? Then I don't want to keep it a secret.

If you want your secret to be made public, you can continue to stand tall in front of me, but... is this really your intention? "

Crocodile restrained the anger on his face, but he was still extremely gloomy. He didn't answer, but turned his head and stopped looking at Ivankov.

After a long time, he said: "While saying whether to join the revolutionary army or not, it's as if you can get out!"

Regarding this question, Ivankov did not answer, because Drago did not give him an answer back then, but said that they could come out at the right time without his order from Drago.

It's just that Ivankov doesn't know when is the right time. After all, the defense of the city is getting stricter every year.

He helped Drago get a lot of information as promised, and he also attracted many people, but these powers can only be displayed after they go out.

If he has been advancing in the city, he doesn't know the meaning of what he has done.

However, he did not doubt Drago, he believed that Drago would not "exile" him here for no reason.

Maybe it's true, it's just that an opportunity is missing.

But at this time Ivankov didn't know how to answer Crocodile, he just stood up, took a standard catwalk, and said, "You don't have to worry about these, you can live here with peace of mind."

"Live here?! Who do you think I am?!"

"Do you want to go out? This is a paradise, I can't let you leave with regret and anger."

Ivankov stopped, and after hearing what Ivankov said, Crocodile asked with some doubts: "What do you mean?!"

"It means... if you want to get out of here, I can only keep you happy forever."

As he said that, Ivankov took out a needle tube that was about as long and as big as his leg, turned his head and smiled charmingly, and said:

"Just one injection, and you can experience eternal happiness~ Do you want to try it? Try it and you can leave."

Crocodile shuddered all over, but didn't answer. Some avoided his eyes.

Although Ivankov didn't go into details, Crocodile still understood what Ivankov meant, that is, the person who left could only be an idiot who could only be silly.

After all, it seems that the prisoners around here don't even have shackles on them. Crocodile was also surprised to find that the sea tower stone shackles on his body were removed at some point.

It's just hanging on your body, and it's not locked.

The people here are not in the state of prisoners in the city of advancement at all, and there are no torture tools or execution grounds, which means that this may be a place that even the jailers of the city of advancement do not know.

It is the secret base of the Revolutionary Army in Advance City!

If he leaves, leaving with a sober and complete understanding, then this place may be exposed, and the revolutionary army cannot be so kind.

Therefore, if you want to leave here, there may be only two ways. One is to abandon your life and use death to free your soul, which is of course death.

The second way may be to accept Ivankov or other people's surgery to completely destroy one's cognition. Only in this way can the risk of exposure here be reduced.

Crocodile doesn't want to die, he wants revenge! He also doesn't want to be a fool, because he wants revenge!

"It's a pity, I actually gave up that guy Jhin for you."

Ivankov shook his head while walking, his face full of melancholy.

Jhin was originally imprisoned on Pang Island, but nearly half of Pang Island was destroyed, Vegapunk also chose to relocate the laboratory, and Jhin made another mistake this time.

Therefore, he was handed over to Advance City, and Crocodile and Crocodile came in almost at the same time, but Ivankov chose to save Crocodile first. In fact, he could only choose one of the two.

After all, these two people are extremely important prisoners to the world government. If one of them is robbed, the vigilance of advancing the city in a short period of time will be unimaginably high.

And when the limelight passed, Jhin would have already entered level 6, even if it was Ivankov, he would not be able to enter level 6 and take away a prisoner.

The road was the only chance for him to do something, so the Revolutionary Army missed the opportunity to recruit Jhin, and they gave up Jhin and chose Crocodile who was not willing to join the Revolutionary Army at all. What a loss!

After hearing what Ivankov said, Crocodile snorted angrily, and growled hoarsely: "I didn't ask you to save me! And do you think there is any difference between such a place and the prison in Push City? !"

"Hee-hop! This is not a prison. This is a place where you can liberate yourself. No matter what kind of person you want to be, you won't meet blank stares here.

Men, women, transvestites, no matter who they are, can liberate their nature here, as long as you know what kind of person you are, you can all be accommodated here! "

Ivankov smiled and left, while Crocodile lowered his head.

Any kind of person can be accommodated here, it sounds nice, but you also have to know what kind of person you are.

'What kind of person am I? '

Crocodile's face was gloomy, he didn't know.

Twenty years ago, when I was still young, I felt that the whole world was unfair, that gender differences would bring about other differences, and that except for monsters like Charlotte Lingling, other women would be looked down upon.

But now? In this sea, does anyone dare to underestimate Vice Admiral Gray Lady? Does anyone dare to underestimate the world's number one swordsman, Keller?

In the final analysis, being underestimated was just because he was not strong enough. Crocodile actually understood this a long time ago, not just now, but the moment he was defeated by Whitebeard casually.

It's just that he can't agree with it in his heart. Skyler told him about it fifteen years ago, saying that he is not even as good as that "girl" back then.

It's just that he is weak, it's not that the world despises him, or even if there is, it's just that he despises himself.

It's just that that was the only reason he could comfort himself at that time, and once he avoided it, he would always think about avoiding it. Twenty years later, Crocodile even forgot how strong he was back then.

Crocodile no longer knows what kind of person he is, or even what kind of person he wants to be. He only knows that twenty years ago, he wanted to be the strongest, but not now.

"clank~"

After shaking his body, the Hailou stone shackles hanging on his body fell to the ground, and the strength returned to his body. Crocodile instantly turned into dust and broke away from the shackles of the shelf.

Landing again, Crocodile subconsciously touched the position of his pocket, but he is now wearing a prison uniform that advances the city, so there is no pocket, even if there is... there is no cigar.

At this time, in Baldigo, Drago held the intercepted navy intelligence, with some doubts on his face, Ivankov actually gave up trying to win over Jhin, but chose Crocodile?

Drago's memory also instantly returned to twenty years ago. At that time, he had just left the navy. At that time, he was still interested in the life experience of his "sister".

And the result was... he beat Crocodile, but Crocodile didn't say anything about Skyler, Dorag remembered.

He even said that his son would defeat Crocodile.

If Crocodile joins the Revolutionary Army, if Luffy really defeats Crocodile as his father predicted, wouldn't it be...

Drago's lips trembled, but thinking that Luffy had left the navy, he felt a little more at ease.

Luffy has already left the navy. As Skyler and Garp, even if Luffy makes some small mistakes in the future, he will not be imprisoned in the promotion city.

If Luffy is willing to come to his revolutionary army, under his supervision, Luffy will not be reduced to being caught by the navy and imprisoned in the city of advancement.

That is to say, as long as his son doesn't want to go to Push City by himself, he probably won't have any communication with Crocodile in this life.

Thinking of this, Dorag breathed a sigh of relief.

But Luffy is also a member of Monkey D's family! Isn't head iron an ingredient engraved in the blood factor? !

Thinking of this, Drago took another deep breath.
