Chapter 311 Target: Golden Lion!

Crocodile's expression turned even worse.

"You want me to give up the fame that I, Crocodile, have gained after so many years of hard work at sea?"

“Do you know how many people out there in the ocean only dream of being me?”

Tang Sen waved his hand: "As long as the strength is still there, things like fame can be obtained at any time, and -"

A malicious expression appeared on Tang Sen's face: "Don't Mr. Crocodile want to get rid of his past completely?"

"Huh?" Crocodile showed a slightly unhappy expression: "What are you talking about?"

"You and the Demon King Ivankov——"

"Shut up!" Crocodile jumped up immediately, veins popped up on his forehead: "Why do you even know such a thing!"

He looked at Tang Sen's expression and took a deep breath.

"alright, you win."

He lit a cigar and said angrily: "I know what you are thinking. You hope that Crocodile's identity will disappear completely. In this case, no one will know what you did in Alabasta."

"After all, if your cooperation with me is known to Princess Vivi and those Alabasta people, they will probably hate you even more than they hate me."

"That's not a big deal." Tang Sen smiled: "But it will definitely be a bit troublesome."

Those who have been given the Mark of the Dark Lord will not betray, but that is all.

The current Alabasta people are indeed loyal to themselves, but if they know the truth, their loyalty value will be reduced to the lowest level. Even if they still don't feel betrayal towards themselves, it is impossible to get them to obey their orders. .

"Anyway, let's talk about our future plans." Crocodile didn't want to bring up this topic anymore, so he said, "You have already taken control of the power in Alabasta, right? What's next?"

"Use your ability to control the Sea Tower Stone to run Alabasta and create a country that even the world government cannot break?"

"No." Tang Sen shook his head: "Next, we have to leave for a while."

"Huh?" Crocodile was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"The situation here is great now. You can do whatever you want in this country——"

"We need stronger power, Mr. Crocodile." Tang Sen interrupted him: "Just relying on Hailou Shi's words is meaningless in front of a truly strong man."

"The real big thing is coming soon."

Crocodile was used to Tang Sen's nagging. He just said: "You have to at least tell me what our next plan is."

The corners of Tang Sen's lips raised slightly: "What's the next step?"

"I wonder if Mr. Crocodile has any impression of Golden Lion Shiji?"

Crocodile was shocked.

"Are you talking about the legendary big pirate?" He said quickly: "I'm afraid there are not many people on the sea who don't know the Golden Lion. After all, he was the man who once competed with Roger, the Pirate King, for the position of Pirate King. He once fought with the power of one person. Attacked the Navy Headquarters, and was the first person to escape from the underwater prison."

"You want to recruit him?" Crocodile pondered for a moment: "I think it's impossible. Someone like the Golden Lion will never be recruited by you, even if it's cooperation."

"It's just the remnants of the old era." Tang Sen shook his head: "I have no interest in recruiting him."

"What I want is his Devil Fruit - the Superman-type Fluttering Fruit."

"This fruit is of strategic significance to our plan."

"You want to defeat him?" Crocodile sneered: "That's even more impossible."

"He is as famous as Whitebeard. Do you know what this means? I am not belittling myself. Even if our plan is to hunt other Shichibukai, I am confident that we can do it, but Golden Lion -"

"I advise you to give up this idea."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to risk death." Tang Sen smiled and said: "You think too highly of the Golden Lion. As far as I know, during the naval battle with Roger at Art Wall, due to an accident During the snowstorm, a ship's rudder unfortunately penetrated his brain."

"This caused his strength to be greatly reduced. At first, he could still fight with the generals, but as time went by, his strength became more and more affected by the rudder. His physique was reduced to ten percent, and now he can no longer even use his domineering energy smoothly. I can only fight with my Devil Fruit powers."

At this point, Townsend joked: "Mr. Crocodile, this is about the same as you. If you only focus on your Devil Fruit abilities, I don't think you will be weaker than him."

Crocodile pondered for a moment: "Do you confirm the authenticity of your news?"

"Of course." Tang Sen smiled and said: "Even if we don't do anything to the Golden Lion, maybe he will be defeated by a new pirate one day. In that case, the Piao Piao Fruit will be a waste."

"Hunting legendary pirates?" Crocodile finally smiled: "Sounds good."

"etc--"

He suddenly realized something: "What you said just now. Do you know how to extract the Devil Fruit ability from a Devil Fruit user's body?"

"Does this surprise you?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows.

".If it were you, it wouldn't be a surprise."

Tang Sen always knew some secret information, and Crocodile knew this firsthand.

"So, let's go find the Golden Lion next?" Crocodile asked.

"There's no rush." ​​Tang Sen shook his head: "You can save the golden lion's life for now."

Crocodile was a little uncomfortable with Tang Sen talking about the life of a legendary pirate in such a tone, as if he had no room for resistance if he wanted to take it.

But he didn't say anything, he just waited quietly for Tang Sen to continue.

"The most important thing right now is money."

Tang Sen said: "I will give you a batch of products from the Sea Tower Stone. You and Nico Robin will go to the underground world to exchange for Bailey. It should be noted that the identity cannot be traced. I can make the Sea Tower Stone now." It cannot be exposed yet.”

"It's very simple." Crocodile said: "Nico Robin can handle it alone."

"No, you must go together." Tang Sen shook his head and said, "I need more than just money."

Tang Sen picked up a copy of the World Economic News.

"I need this."

Crocodile thought for a moment: "Morgans?"

Big News Morgans, president of World Economic News, owns the largest newspaper in the entire world.

"Do you want to control the transmission channels?" Crocodile continued to deduce: "This is not as simple as dealing with the Golden Lion. No, I'm afraid it is more difficult. Morgans can exist relatively independent of the world government, so he must be relying on him."

"No need to control." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly: "We don't need to offend Morgans. On the contrary, you should give him a big gift."

"And...big news."

"I don't think he will refuse."

"Big news?" Crocodile frowned: "Are you going to report your deeds in Alabasta? This shouldn't be considered big news. Whether it's a pirate or an ordinary person, everyone should be aware of this kind of news. Not very interested in the story.”

"So, we still need an opportunity to make this report a hit." Tang Sen's lips curled up slightly:

"Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon."
