Chapter 298 Subverting the World in the Name of Justice
"Acting?"
Crocodile was stunned for a moment.
"If you want to avoid attracting the attention of the world government, then your plan needs to continue to be implemented and lead to an ending that is destined to fail."
Tang Sen said calmly: "When the country's life and death were at stake, a hero emerged from nowhere, defeated the big bad guy who tried to overthrow the kingdom, and made the whole country peaceful and beautiful again - everyone likes such stories, right? ?”
Crocodile's expression turned ugly: "So, you want me to be the big bad guy and you to be the hero?"
"You just do what you were meant to do," Townsend reminded.
Crocodile understood Tang Sen's plan. Although he was very unhappy, he quickly focused on weighing the pros and cons.
"You hope to gain the popularity of the people of Alabasta by defeating me, but this is meaningless." He said: "As I said before, if the royal power of this country is not completely cut off, even if you become the so-called Great Even a hero cannot control this country."
"You're not the kind of person who only needs the gratitude of the people to be satisfied, right?"
"Of course I'm not." Tang Sen said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, if the plan succeeds, what I will get is not just gratitude, but millions of believers who will never betray me."
"As for the royal power - the current king is indeed not suitable to sit in that position. I think his daughter, Neferutari Vivi, will be a very suitable successor."
Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was his habitual reaction when he was thinking. In fact, Tang Sen also had this habit.
"I see." He said, "That's why you got together with the Straw Hats. Did you start planning from that time on?"
"You want to control this country by controlling Weiwei?"
"Control is not a nice word, I prefer to call it help." Tang Sen repeated: "I want to control this country by helping Miss Weiwei."
"As far as I know, Nefertari Weiwei is an extremely naive woman." Crocodile said: "How do you ensure that she can do what you want after becoming the king? Those things you want to do, I’m afraid it refutes her character.”
"What do I want to do?" Townsend laughed: "Mr. Crocodile, you have been hiding in the shadows for so long that you have habitually put yourself in the perspective of the bad guy."
"But, isn't it an act of justice to want to subvert this world and to let those who are oppressed by the world government, pirates, and even the navy and live in darkness stand in the light again?"
Crocodile opened his mouth and suddenly felt speechless.
He clearly realized that the person in front of him didn't think so at all. This person's purpose could never be such a hypocritical thing as saving the world. Like himself, this person was a careerist.
He has one and only one purpose, which is power.
Subverting the world is just for the sake of more supreme authority.
but--
"This is a good angle." Crocodile also laughed: "Are you acting in the name of justice? Those naive fools will like this reason."
"Since you have planned everything, let's do this." Crocodile said: "Anyway, the identity of the Shichibukai was originally just to seek Alabasta. Now that I have a bigger goal, it's okay to give up. give up."
"I will stand on the bright side and continue to carry out the Utopia plan. Unfortunately, the senior cadres of the Baroque Working Society died in your hands. Others don't matter, but if you want to completely stimulate the hatred of the rebels against the king, you still need to have MR.2 that imitates fruit——"
The corner of Tang Sen's mouth raised slightly: "You are aware of this matter, of course I am aware of it too."
"Although I had to kill the cadres to win Weiwei's trust, Von Clay survived by luck. I have sent him to the front line."
The corner of Crocodile's mouth twitched slightly: "Why are my people so easily instigated by you to rebel? Forget about Nico Robin, in my impression, Von Clay is not easily instigated. people."
"It's just a little trick." Tang Sen fooled him: "Now that we are all in the same group, there is no way to instigate rebellion."
Crocodile took a deep breath.
"Forget it, they are all useless guys anyway. As long as you have money, the most indispensable thing in this world is subordinates."
His expression became serious.
"Then, there is one last thing. Although it doesn't matter if you don't say it, since you have decided to cooperate, to show your sincerity, it is better for me to take the initiative now."
"After all, for someone like you, you would definitely think of this."
He said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that I will do it alone after I come out? Anyway, as long as I control you, I can also use your abilities. In this case, why should I cooperate with you?"
Tang Sen raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Mr. Crocodile is surprisingly honest."
Tang Sen knows what the other party is thinking, and this is indeed the most important point in the cooperation between the two parties.
Neither Crocodile nor Townsend would base their cooperation on such unreliable things as trust.
And Crocodile is absolutely clear that if this point is not resolved, everything he said before will have no meaning. Of course, this is also because he recognizes Tang Sen’s wisdom and knows that Tang Sen has definitely thought of this, so he Just took the initiative to bring it up.
On the one hand, it was to express his sincerity in cooperation. On the other hand, he also wanted to know what means Tang Sen planned to rely on to maintain such a cooperative relationship. If he took the initiative, he would still have room for negotiation.
"Mr. Crocodile is much stronger than me. Although I am confident that I can protect myself even if you attack me, but if you don't follow the plan and make small moves behind your back, I will really be in trouble. .”
"So, I will deprive you of something as a price for not betraying me - Mr. Crocodile should be able to accept this, right?"
Crocodile narrowed his eyes and said, "What?"
"Don't worry, it's not an important thing. It will neither weaken Mr. Crocodile's power nor restrict your freedom." Tang Sen communicated in the consciousness space, and a stone box appeared in front of Crocodile.
"What you have lost is only a trivial feeling. You will no longer be able to taste food, smell any smell, and feel pain."
"Of course, I can't feel the pleasure either."
