Chapter 173 That Man

Crocodile laughed, laughing wantonly.

Anyway, that lunatic still needs his help, so there is no need to worry about him turning his face on the spot.

To be honest, since he met Lynn Barek in Alabasta, Crocodile felt that he had been aggrieved.

While his strength is not weak, this man's brain circuit is also different from that of ordinary people, and ordinary tricks have no effect on him at all.

It is difficult to fight, and it is impossible to calculate. What can Crocodile do?

Tolerate!

I don't believe you have no flaws!

Until just now, something happened that made Lynn Barek deflated, and Crocker Dalton suddenly became excited.

And such a good thing? !

Of course it was a good laugh!

It's just that the laughter didn't last long, and a brick suddenly smashed Crocodile's head.

The gravel surged, and Crocodile slowly recovered his head, but there was still a gloomy smile on his face.

If you do it, it means that he is in a hurry!

"Hehehe, what a rare sight." Crocodile smoked a cigar and said leisurely, "What should we do now? Are we going to take a raft to fight Doflamingo?"

boom!

Before he finished speaking, another brick smashed Crocodile's head.

"of course not."

Lynn turned his head with one hand, looked at Crocodile who was slowly recovering, and shook his head with a smile.

"Let me introduce you to a new friend, Yachiichi."

"Huh?" Crocodile was taken aback when he heard the words, and then Lynn tapped himself on the shoulder.

Everyone followed Lynn's fingers and found a miniature phone bug on his shoulder.

After being knocked a few times, the tiny phone bug opened its eyes and connected to the signal at the same time.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

The phone bug looked around.

"A lot of people, interesting, let me check... Shichibukai [sand crocodile] Crocodile, and the murloc Fisher Tiger, it's really rare to see."

The two people who were named were a little surprised, and they didn't know who the person on the phone bug was.

It was Aiden who was the first to react, and waved his hand to say hello, "Mr. Vegapunk, long time no see!"

"Aiden Sedia, it's been a long time, about 741 days."

Vegapunk said: "Well... According to the detection of the phone bug, your armed domineering seems to have become stronger again. Can I dissect one of your arms for research?"

Aiden scratched his head with a smile, "No, I only have one arm left."

"Well, that's a pity." Vegapunk said slightly disappointed.

The content of this conversation was extremely weird, but what really made Crocodile's eyes widen was actually the man's name——

Vegapunk.

Namely, the world's number one scientist.

"Vegapunk?" Crocodile looked at Lynn in surprise, "The deity?"

Lynn nodded, "If it's the scientist under house arrest in the Naval Research Office, then yes, it's me."

"[Sand crocodile] Crocodile, first time meeting." Vegapunk greeted, "Can I dissect a natural-type ability user? Use a Hailoushi scalpel."

Crocodile did not answer, but frowned and asked, "Why did the top navy scientist contact you?"

"Fate, and a deal." Lynn shrugged.

"I provide Mr. Lynn with the intelligence information I can, and Mr. Lynn is willing to let me study and record his combat mode." Vegapunk added: "Judging from the data, this transaction is reasonable for both of us. "

"It's outrageous to ask the world's number one scientist to provide you with information..." Crocodile's heart sank, and he asked, "So, can he solve our problems?"

"What's the problem?" Vegapunk asked.

Lynn talked about the boat again.

After listening, Vegapunk said: "I have the design drawings of the ship, but none of you are shipbuilders. A group of laymen probably need to make a ship..."

The voice of calculation came from the phone bug.

"Three years."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

But Vegapunk said: "There is a second option."

"What?"

"Take a small boat to enter the new world first, and buy a new ship in the new world. I can provide you with the location of the dock where you can buy a ship based on statistics. There is only one difficulty in this method," Vegapunk said: "If you have money, new Ships in the world are not cheap."

Hearing this, Tiger and Aiden shrugged at the same time.

"I don't have any money with me, and I have no place to spend it. After all, the navy is looking for me all over the world."

"I came here by swimming. All the money is on the Sun Pirates' boat. Should I go back and get it? It will take about a week."

Seeing this, Crocodile still wanted to laugh.

Lynn asked Vegapunk seriously, "Is 81 million Berries enough?"

"Not enough." Vegapunk replied.

"That's a pity." Lynn sighed.

Crocodile: "..."

...

After some discussion, everyone finally came up with a solution that was not a solution——

To save face, borrow a sum of money from Dragon Palace.

After making up their minds, everyone started to act immediately.

Among them, Lynn and Aiden walked in the front, Tiger walked in the middle, and Crocodile followed behind them.

Borrow money to go to the new world? never heard of that!

Tiger also felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was an old acquaintance with King Neptune and Princess Otohime, and he always felt a little sorry for borrowing money from acquaintances, and his character didn't like to trouble others.

Aiden was particularly excited: "Wow, I haven't visited Murloc Island yet. Do murlocs eat fish?"

A group of four came to the Dragon Palace.

Lynn and Tiger are both old acquaintances of Dragon Palace, so after the guards reported, the four soon met King Neptune and his wife, Princess Otome.

After a brief exchange, Neptune readily agreed to Lynn's request. After all, during the two years Lynn had been in Murloc Island, he had solved many of Murloc's ills left over from historical issues.

Crocodile couldn't help but said helplessly: "What a foolish king, he is willing to lend such a large sum of money to a group of wanted criminals."

"Hohohohohoho! To our murlocs, money is far less valuable than friends!" Neptune laughed loudly.

The left and right ministers were ordered to retrieve the treasure from the treasury, while Lin En and others chatted with Neptune and Princess Otohime.

Tiger also talked about the past with Princess Otohime, and Princess Otohime has full hopes for the future of Murloc Island and the human world.

Lin En looked at Princess Othime who was painting a bright future, and sighed softly.

If everything goes as usual, Princess Otohime will be killed by a murloc named Hody Jones in the future.

Hody Jones is a monster born of hatred. He has never been persecuted by humans, but because of the environment in which he grew up, he developed a morbid hatred for all humans.

In the end, he began to take revenge on humans indiscriminately, even his own kind.

Lynn met Hody Jones on Murloc Street.

At this time, Huo Di was just a child who hadn't grown up much, but he had already revealed his resentment towards human beings from his words and deeds.

Lynn tried to let him get in touch with the outside world through books. Things didn't go well at first, but Lynn still calmed Hody down in a physical way.

After reading a few books, Hody regained his interest in the human world, and he began to try to find the answer to a question:

Are humans good or bad?

Lynn couldn't answer that question either, but he was glad that Hoddy had a different idea.

That's enough.

Thoughts start from doubts, and eventually need a process of development and maturity.

If Princess Otohime hadn't died, what would be the future between Murloc Island and humans?

Lynn wanted to take a look.

About an hour later, the guards handed over the sorted treasures to Lynn and the others, with a total value of about 500 million beri, which is not a small amount of wealth even in the New World.

The four bid farewell to Neptune and Princess Otohime, and came to the pier of Fishman Island.

Under Neptune's order, the guards prepared a small raft, intending to use the murlocs and Coral Bubbles to drag the four of them to the surface of the sea before sending them away. This was the fastest and safest way.

But when everyone arrived at the pier, Lynn suddenly asked Crocodile:

"Hey, Yachiichi, do you mean that the pirates in the East China Sea have either been caught, or have all escaped to the great route?"

Crocodile nodded, "Yes, why do you ask this?"

Lynn didn't answer, but walked straight not far away.

There, a group of pirates were having a carnival in the Fisherman's Tavern, and they were very excited by the beautiful scenery and good wine of the Fishman Island.

The happiest among them is the man sitting on the sofa.

At this time, he was hugging a mermaid lady, drinking rum with a big gulp.

Lin En went straight to the main sofa, asked the famous mermaid lady to leave, and then put her arms around the man's shoulders.

"Yo, Bucky, long time no see."

Bucky was drunk, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, it's Lynn, it's been a long time since I left Rogge Town!"

After saying that, Bucky's movements stopped suddenly, and the expression on his face froze there.

Bucky: "..."

Bucky: "..."

Bucky: "..."

After a short but long silence, Lynn was the first to break the silence:

"Hey, do you have a boat?"
