Chapter 666 Exaggerated Chest Muscles! 【Ask Monthly Ticket】
In this world, there are four flags, which are the most well-known and have the most long-term influence.
First of all, no matter in which era, there are people flying the skull flag. The consensus in this sea is that the one flying the skull flag is the pirate.
Perhaps the specific shape of the skull is different, there are some changes, and each has its own significance, but as long as it is a skull flag, it is the flag of pirates, and it is also the flag that civilians hate the most.
And secondly, it corresponds to the flag of the skull head, the flag of Tianping seagull, also known as the flag of justice, and the bearer of the flag is the navy that has maintained the order of the sea for 800 years.
The balance seagull flag and the skull head flag have been in opposition since their appearance. The pirates flying the skull head flag destroy order, while the navy flying the balance seagull flag maintains justice. This is true in every era.
The second is the most controversial flag of the Tianxiang Dragon's Hoof, which is the representative flag of the Tianlong people who are called the creators of this world.
The reason why it is the most controversial flag is because some people think it is the most honorable flag, but some people think that it is the most evil flag, even more evil than the skull flag.
But in any case, this flag represents the highest privileged class in the world - Tianlong people. With this flag, there is no so-called equality.
As for the last flag. It is a cross flag representing the whole world. The cross flag is composed of five circles and four segments. There are four circles at the four ends of the cross, and there is also a circle at the intersection of the cross.
This is the flag representing the entire world, because it is the flag of the world government, which is the center of world power, and the flag of the cross is the symbol of the power of the world government.
And this is also the reason why the Shichibukai were silent in the candy castle at this time, because the five candies placed by Crocodile, matched with the striped tabletop, just formed a cross flag.
A weird atmosphere hovered constantly in the hall. No one knew whether Crocodile did it intentionally or unintentionally. After all, both were possible.
It's okay to say it's intentional, after all, five candies can be arranged in many patterns, and as long as the placement is a little bit off, it won't form this pattern.
Not to mention, in this world, there are far more than the four organizations proposed by Crocodile that may unite to fight against the world government.
Even if you have enough combat power, there are other options, such as including the king of the sea. Although Katakuri is included in the former king's Qibukai, there are Kaido and Shank is it?
Since they are crazy enough to fight against the world government, it is not impossible to cooperate with a lunatic like Kaido, or Shanks, Shanks is Mihawk's friend.
If Mihawk is recruited, then it is not impossible to persuade Shanks, pull him in, and then separate Katakuri from Qiwuhai, then there will be six candies at this time.
So, in some ways, Crocodile looks like it was intentional.
But it doesn't seem impossible to say that she was unintentional. After all, Crocodile came to Cake Island less than half an hour ago, and she had never been to Cake Island before.
The layout of the cake island, where Katakuri would take her, the pattern of the tabletop, and the appearance of the candies were all unknown to her before Crocodile came in.
Who would have thought that the desktop in this castle happens to be striped horizontally and vertically? Who knew that the candies prepared in this room were such unpretentious candies in the shape of round sugar cookies?
This may be just a mediocre coincidence, but... the discussion is clearly against the world government, but as a joint stop against the world government, the symbol is the cross flag of the world government, which is somewhat disturbing.
Mihawk Erlang raised his legs, crossed his hands directly in front of his chest, and tilted his head. He looked out the window and did not make any judgments on Crocodile's statement or actions, but he seemed to be a little allergic to the cross sign, with disgust in his eyes.
Katakuri pulled up his scarf, and then he leaned back and nestled in the act, his hands first clasped together in front of his chest, and then separated to support each other with his ten fingertips.
Cavendish fiddled with his full head of hair, and raised his legs of the same style as Mihawk's, but his concentration was not as good as Mihawk's, and the leg that touched the bottom was unconsciously shake this.
As for Bucky, he had a funny and exaggerated expression on his face, and his eyes kept moving back and forth between Crocodile and the cross sign placed with candies on the table.
At this time, Crocodile did not have the fast pace when he spoke just now, and propped the heels of his hands on the edge of the table, waiting for these people to recover.
Candy Castle fell into a strange silence. How long has it been silent? There is not even a clock in the hall, and there is no sign outside the window where the sky is getting redder and redder.
Bucky was the most impatient, and his eyes kept drifting back and forth, sometimes passing over several people, sometimes staying on the cross flag, and sometimes looking at the sky outside the window.
Except for Bucky, the movements of the others have hardly changed, like sculptures, as if a single movement would kill them.
Finally, Bucky couldn't hold back and said: "Haha~ Since it's Shichibukai's business, and Qiwukai didn't show up today, don't worry about talking about it today, right?"
With the first person speaking, the scene seemed to have recovered from the time-suspended state. Crocodile sat back in his seat and said indifferently:
"Don't worry, it's your business, and it has nothing to do with me, who has been dismissed by Qi Wuhai long ago. I just proposed an opportunity to cooperate, but I can't hold your head down and agree to cooperate.
It's just that this time is getting shorter and shorter anyway. Now that you think about it, you are just reducing the preparation time after you are offered a new reward. "
"That's right, we are wasting our time and lives, Ms. Crocodile, what are you in a hurry for?"
Cavendish also came back to his senses at this time, finished speaking with a smile, and looked at his eldest brother Katakuri who had taken care of him for many years, and his idol Mihawk.
Surprisingly, the two seemed to be still in deep thought, and did not wake up because of the three of them talking one after another. The cross flag that Crocodile laid out seemed to have some magical power.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"
When Crocodile was waiting impatiently and wanted to call Katakuri and Mihawk directly, there was a knock on the door, and then a head came in and asked:
"Brother Katakuri, are you eating here? Or are you going outside?"
Katakuri then raised his hand and rubbed his face, looked at the red clouds in the sky outside, and said, "Let's prepare for the dinner, after all, there is a new guest. Please, Brin."
"You're welcome."
Brin nodded, then retracted her protruding head quickly, and closed the door at the same time. Katakuri looked at Mihawk who had finally come to his senses at this time, and said, "Let's eat first."
Mihawk nodded and agreed. As for Cavendish and Baki Katakuri, they didn't mean to ask their opinions at all, but looked directly at Crocodile.
Crocodile's expression was a little displeased at this time. He came to talk about such an important matter, but the matter hadn't been finished yet, and it hadn't even officially started. This Katakuri didn't want to promote cooperation, but actually wanted to eat?
The majestic emperor of the sea hasn't even eaten a meal, has he? Is eating more important than talking about things? !
Seeing Crocodile's face was dark and silent, Katakuri didn't bother to persuade him, so he stood up and walked towards the door, but just as he opened the door, his brows frowned.
Because the straw hat gang hadn't left yet, looking at the straw hat gang, the chef was teasing his sister to cover her mouth and giggle at this moment, Katakuri didn't know why, but hated the chef a little.
Obviously, this tea party is for his younger siblings to find their favorite partner, but whenever his younger sister expresses, hints or observes that they have someone they like, Katakuri feels uncomfortable.
As for why he hasn't revealed it, it's because the younger brothers have found someone they like, and Katakuri's heart will be filled with joy, and when the two emotions are reconciled, he can still maintain calm.
But at this moment, most of the guests had already left, and in front of him, there was only one younger sister who was coaxed by an unreliable young man, and Katakuri's displeasure was directly displayed on his face.
It's just that his scarf covered most of his face, and because he was too tall, it was difficult for others to see his face clearly, so he didn't pay attention.
Only Bucky, who used the split fruit to "change" himself to be about the same height as Katakuri, discovered this. Following Katakuri's eyes, Bucky said with a dark voice:
"Is it the Straw Hats? I also hate them very much. They were the ones in Donghai two years ago."
"Do you have the right to hate them?"
Katakuri concealed his displeasure in his rebuttal to Baki. Baki was taken aback, and then pointed at the Straw Hats. Perhaps in his opinion, it was clear that he really agreed with Katakuri. Is Katakuri mad at the fart? !
But Bucky didn't know that Katakuri looked at the Straw Hats with the eyes of his future family members, so the young man who didn't wear well, was thin, and was still smoking a cigarette all day naturally made him Very dissatisfied.
What he was dissatisfied with was not the little yellow-haired Sanji, but that this little yellow-haired man might become his family.
And he didn't hear that Bucky has a younger sister who is recruiting relatives. The grievance between Bucky and the Straw Hat Boy is a grievance in the sea. If you lose, you lose. What is there to say?
He never complained that he lost to Skyler and Kaido, and his mother was even "beheaded" by Skyler, but after his resurrection, he never mentioned that incident.
Katakuri endured the unhappiness in his heart, and walked towards Brin and the Straw Hats. When he came to Luffy, Katakuri made no secret of his dissatisfaction and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
This blatant eviction order made several members of the straw hat group stop and look over.
Although Katakuri has never greeted him with a smile since the arrival of the Straw Hats, he is not as dissatisfied as he is at this moment. Li felt that the Straw Hats had no backing, so they could do whatever they wanted?
Brin also said with some complaints at this time: "Brother Katakuri."
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Katakuri put her hand on top of her head, patted her head lightly, and signaled her not to speak. The respect for Katakuri made Brin choose to shut up.
Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Luffy scratched his head as if he didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "In your shipyard, there is Frank's friend, he went to visit, so we may have to trouble It's been a day for you."
Hearing this, Katakuri frowned, looked at Abel, who was leaning against a tree behind Luffy, and asked, "You taught him to say that?"
"Otherwise? Anti-customer-oriented?"
Abel raised his eyebrows, and the patterned tattoos on his face moved with his expression. Luffy would not say such polite words.
If he didn't tell Luffy well in advance, it is estimated that Luffy said "I want to stay here for one more day!" Although what he wants to get is the same, the meaning is completely opposite.
After all, Totland is Katakuri's territory, and the Straw Hats are here as guests, so why not be more polite?
But Lu Fei never knew what it meant to be polite. He was always so tough when he spoke to anyone. Even when facing his grandfather and aunt, he would rather be beaten than give in.
Moreover, his rough nerves can't make him understand what is polite. He will only choose the most direct brain circuit to understand and answer questions.
Therefore, even if it was just such a trivial matter as staying in Tortlando for a day, Abel still reminded him thousands of times, but Luffy still forgot to say "please" and "thank you" in the end.
Just as Katakuri was about to open his mouth to say something, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. Looking down, it was his younger sister who was constantly pulling the hem of his knee-high windbreaker.
Seeing the expression on his sister's face, Katakuri wanted to say a few tough words to drive away the straw hat gang, but in the end he didn't choose to drive them away, but said reluctantly:
"It's okay to stay for an extra day, but Sanji, right? You have to cook an extra meal, which counts as rent."
Hearing her brother's words, Brin showed a smile, and said gently: "Thank you brother Katakuri."
Although a few days ago, the two met again and communicated, but Brin only dared to chat with Sanji when he was cooking. After all, she didn't want to be pestered by her sister that she was worried that she would not be able to get married. man.
Therefore, Katakuri asked Sanji to cook, which is to create an opportunity for Sanji and Brin to communicate. Although Katakuri dislikes Sanji, a young man who is doing nothing, but who made Brin his sister.
Sanji nodded when he heard the words, and asked, "What do you want to eat today?"
"I don't know, but here's a friend from the desert, so... a cactus."
Katakuri glanced at Crocodile and said, Crocodile frowned and was about to refute, when he found that there was suddenly another person in front of him.
Luffy held the straw hat in one hand, and his legs stretched a lot, and his big face was in front of Crocodile, and he kept looking at it, making Crocodile feel irritable.
"You look familiar!"
Luffy said suddenly, hearing the words, Crocodile showed a speechless look on his face, although because of Skyler's intervention, the two did not know each other in Alabasta as they did in the original book.
But when Luffy broke into the promotion city, he still chose to save Crocodile, but... Luffy knew Sha Crocodile, not Letty Crocodile.
When Crocodile chose to use the potion Ivankov gave him, Luffy had already been stunned by Shanks, and after the top war, the two never met again.
It's just that, as the supernova of the sea, shouldn't Luffy pay attention to the affairs of the sea? Although the report on the top war, the main pen and ink is still on Skyler's killing of Whitebeard.
But the corner boards, as well as some tabloid laces, still wrote that Crocodile changed from Sir to Lady! Comparison charts are also posted.
What's more, Crocodile's nose twitched a little with agitation, and the scar across his cheek and nose was shaking constantly, and at the same time he raised the golden hook.
"Duang~"
Then Crocodile directly gave Luffy a big face, and said in a cold tone: "I am Crocodile."
Luffy, who was lying on the ground, immediately bounced up when he heard the words. At this time, there was a red mark on his face. He looked at Crocodile in disbelief, and sized her up.
Then he said in amazement: "Sand crocodile? Your muscles have grown so big. I haven't gotten so big after practicing for two years."
As he said that, Lu Fei reached out and touched Crocodile's chest muscles. Crocodile's face turned black, and the cigar in his mouth was directly bitten off by her.
"Desert Sword!"
At some point, Crocodile's right hand turned into a scimitar made of sand and slashed at Luffy's body, but Luffy didn't react at all, and flew upside down.
Isn't the sand crocodile his friend after all? How could a friend attack him?
Luffy flew upside down dozens of meters, lying on the ground with his mouth wide open, his eyes turned white, but none of the Straw Hats was at the same time as Luffy, or wanted to stand up for Luffy.
Even Sauron, who was gradually being called the straw hat vice-captain by outsiders, looked at Luffy at his feet at this time, and said indifferently: "Idiot."
Nami even carried the weather stick, and ran to Luffy angrily. If she hadn't seen that Luffy had lost consciousness at this time, and there was blood flowing from her chest, she probably wouldn't be merciful with the weather stick.
Sanji glanced at Luffy, then turned his head and glanced at Crocodile, but after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze.
There are many reasons, the first is that he already has someone he likes now, and the other reason is that the sand crocodile reminded him of the two years he spent in the Simon Island.
Princesses and knights, men and women, on that ridiculous island, there is no boundary at all. For Sanji, he thinks that there is hell, and Crocodile, which reminds him of that time, is Limbo Prison .
Who will look at the entrance of hell? Waiting to be pulled in?
For Crocodile's actions, Katakuri didn't seem to want to stop or get angry, he just regretted that the person who was stabbed was not Sanji.
However, if Sanji also made the same move as Luffy just now, it would not be Crocodile's turn to make a move.
Katakuri pretended that nothing happened, and walked towards the place where he had his meal during the tea party, and everyone else followed Katakuri to the dining table.
As for the Straw Hats, in the end Chopper, the ship's doctor, couldn't stand it anymore and went to treat Luffy's wounds.
The wound was not deep, obviously Crocodile didn't really want to hurt Luffy, he simply dealt with Luffy's wound, more experienced by Chopper
After about two barbecues, Luffy will be back to normal. Chopper looked at Luffy, sighed, then looked at Zoro who was maintaining his saber, and murmured:
"A medicine for road idiots, a medicine for idiots"
Sauron didn't hear what the ship doctor said when he saw the spare ingredients, he maintained the knife and reassembled it, then walked towards Mihawk, and then said:
"Mihawk! The guests have left, and we have almost left. I have already got another chance to challenge you. Why don't we do it tonight?"
Mihawk, who crossed his legs and tasted the red wine of a certain winery in the South China Sea, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, but you only have one chance now.
If you still fail this time, it will not be that simple if you want to qualify for the challenge again. "
"Then can't I beat him again?"
Sauron pointed at Cavendish who was sitting beside him with a nonchalant expression. Cavendish frowned and said, "The last time was just an accident. I just said that I lost to you out of humility. You really thought you Can you beat me?"
Without waiting for Sauron to answer, Mihawk said: "The ticket is still there after boarding, but can you get it back and board again?"
"Mr. Mihawk, you are too much."
Cavendish felt a little wronged, but he was not Mihawk's younger brother, and even if he was, Mihawk was not like Katakuri. He didn't even look at Cavendish, but stared at Sauron asked:
"So you still want to use this opportunity to challenge?"
"Who do I need to beat if I want to get a chance at the next challenge?"
Sauron asked, obviously, he knew very well that the current him did not have the power to defeat Mihawk, and began to ask about the conditions for the next challenge.
Mihawk shook his wine glass and said, "An invisible man."
"invisible Man?"
Sauron frowned, as if thinking of someone, but shook his head again. The invisible man he knew was not a swordsman. Mihawk should be talking about someone else. He then asked, "Where can I find the swordsman?" he?"
"I don't know, but I think it's on the way."
"Which way?"
Mihawk put down his wine glass, thought for a while, and said, "The only way to go."
"baffling!"
Sauron said dissatisfiedly, and turned to leave. If you don't know where the next enemy is, then the opportunity for the next challenge will be far away. There is no need to waste the opportunity for challenge today.
But he just took two steps, because Mihawk went to participate in the "business meeting", and Perona, who stayed at the venue, appeared next to him at this time, and said in a strange way:
"It's as if you know the location and you can go to the destination, Lu Chi!"
Hearing Perona's words, Sauron's face twitched. If it was two years ago, when he just went to Kraigana Island, he would have sternly refuted Perona, but now...
He had said it so many times that he was tired.
Mihawk looked at Sauron's back, twitched his mouth, then looked at Crocodile, and said suddenly: "I can join your business, but I have one condition."
