Chapter 115 Alliance and Prologue
Crocodile was very smart, he didn't mention "Pirate Alliance", but only said the next two words.
He didn't know why, but in short, Lynn Barek always emphasized that he was a wanted criminal or a criminal, not a pirate.
Is there a difference between the two?
Crocodile was very helpless, but he also knew Lynn Barek's character, always entangled in such useless places.
But in order to ensure that his plan can go smoothly, he can only follow Lynn's temper, so Crocodile only said two words:
alliance.
"alliance?"
Lin En was taken aback when he heard the words, pointed to Crocodile, then pointed to himself, and asked with a puzzled look: "You mean to form an alliance with me?"
"That's right."
Crocodile nodded, not half-joking
"What an unexpected plan." Lynn thought for a moment, and finally asked, "The reason, I want to hear the reason."
Crocodile took a sip of his cigar, and said with a dark smile: "The Seven of Waters are huge, and the terrain is extremely complicated. It is very difficult for one person to find the design. You don't want to spend your whole life looking for the design of Hades on that island." How about a picture? The more people you have, the more power you have, the more people you have, the more power you have!"
Hearing this, Lynn didn't say a word, just staring at Crocodile.
After a while, both of them burst out laughing at the same time.
Lin En covered his stomach and laughed loudly: "Yaqianyi, the way you open your eyes and talk nonsense is really interesting!"
"Hehehehe, is it? I think so too." Crocodile took a sip of his cigar.
Lynn asked again: "So what's the real reason?"
"There are many reasons why I choose the alliance."
Crocodile replied: "First of all, I judge that it is not a wise choice to go to war with you before getting the design of Pluto. It is too risky for you and me."
Lynn thought about it, and felt that what Crocodile said made some sense.
They are currently at sea, and both of them are powerful devil fruit ability users, and the battle will definitely affect the surroundings.
Once the war starts, there is a high probability that their ships will be destroyed. At that time, the two of them can only rely on luck if they want to survive, let alone go to the capital of seven waters to find the design of Hades.
And when they arrived at the Capital of Seven Waters, their primary goal was of course the Pluto's design, so they naturally didn't have time to fight again.
All in all, Lynn and Crocodile have no reason to fight until one of them finds the blueprint of Hades. At the same time, the price of fighting is too high, which is not worthwhile at all.
"What about the second point?" Lynn asked again.
"second."
Crocodile smiled and said slowly: "As I said just now, I found this clue from the old monster's stronghold of the Golden Lion, so where did the Golden Lion get this clue?"
Lin En was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, the answer was ready to come out.
navy? !
Not necessarily, it may also be the top level of the world government.
In the previous battle, the Golden Lion accurately knew the weakness of Crocodile's fruit, and the only forces that knew exactly that weakness were the navy and the world government.
In other words, it may be a corrupt official, or it may be an insider of the navy, but in short, the Golden Lion has a secret source of information from the top of the navy or the world government!
He got clues about Pluto's design from the navy or the world government, so conversely, the clues of Pluto's design must have been grasped by the navy or the world government!
Lin En couldn't help constricting his pupils, and said with a dry smile: "It seems that the design of Pluto has been targeted by the world government!"
"Hehehe, that's right."
Crocodile said with a dark smile: "According to the style of the world government, they should have placed spies in every corner of the capital of seven waters by now, but they didn't do anything because they couldn't find the specific location of the Hades design. .”
Hearing this, Lin En frowned, thinking silently:
If the facts are as Crocodile said, then for Lynn himself, this alliance will have a "huge advantage" that cannot be ignored!
On the other hand, Crocodile continued to add: "It is impossible for one person to find the Pluto design in that environment, so we need to cooperate."
Lynn took a few sips of water and asked again, "How to cooperate?"
"It's very simple."
Crocodile replied: "As Shichibukai, who cooperates with the world government, I can go to many places that you can't go, and at the same time, I can cover your actions. We have a brighter and darker chance of finding the design of Hades. big."
"How about finding the Pluto design first, and then grabbing each according to their ability?" Crocodile said with a dark smile, smoking a cigar.
"Well," Lynn nodded slightly, "Let me think..."
"Hehehe, of course, Lynn Barek, after all, this is an 'alliance'." Crocodile smoked a cigar and waited quietly.
The two fell silent at the same time.
Contrary to the superficial silence, both of them were contemplating this alliance in their minds, conceiving their own plans!
For Crocodile, he never felt that anyone could quietly take away the Pluto design under the eyes of the world government from the very beginning.
When the matter develops to the end, there is a 90% probability that it will turn into a head-on conflict with the secret agents of the world government!
Therefore, in order to ensure that after obtaining the Pluto design, he can take it away smoothly and will not be targeted by the world government, Crocodile needs a "bigger" goal to attract the attention of the world government.
That person is Lynn Barek, who once declared war on the Celestial Dragons and disgraced the World Government!
Crocodile needs Lynn as his ally.
On the one hand, it is to find the Pluto design more conveniently, and on the other hand, after discovering the Pluto design, it is to let Lin En attract the attention of the world government, so that he can escape easily.
On the other hand, Lynn was thinking about another thing.
Crocodile is right. There must be many secret agents of the world government in the capital of seven waters. His identity as Shichibukai can bring a lot of convenience to Lynn, so the alliance does have many benefits.
In addition, Lynn also has a huge advantage that Crocodile does not know, that is, the specific owner of Hades' design.
Based on the information he knew and the clues revealed in Crocodile's words, Lynn can judge that the world government has not yet investigated that Murloc Tom is the owner of Hades' design.
Therefore, Crocodile also didn't know where the Pluto's design was in the capital of seven waters, so he said "looking for the Pluto's design".
This crucial information gap gave Lynn a lot of room to play in this alliance.
Thinking of this, Lynn also made up his mind.
He stretched out his right hand to Crocodile, grinning: "So, allies?"
"Hehehe," Crocodile also stretched out his right hand, nodded to confirm, "Allies."
Crocodile needs Lynn to attract the attention of the world government so that he can escape afterwards;
Lynn needs Crocodile to interfere with the world government's eyeliner in the capital of seven waters, and he can take the opportunity to contact Tom the Murloc.
The two thoughtful people held each other's hand with kind smiles on their faces.
So far——
[BOSS] Lynn Barek, and [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile.
The alliance is formed.
...
But at this moment, neither Lynn nor Crocodile knew that their alliance was set to be the prelude to the event that shocked the world.
