I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

After all, he's been personally designated by Oda as the second smartest character in the One Piece world (limited to the first 100 chapters).

"No, no, I'll talk, I'll tell you whatever you want me to say," Kro said frantically, spitting out the stinky sock.

Dick looked at the smelly socks.

"No, I really will confess, I won't play any tricks, believe me," Kro cried.

"Okay, you say."

Currently, Kro is still in the process of making a name for himself and is confident in his own abilities. A few days ago, seeing Dick's extremely generous spending, as if money didn't matter to him, he set his sights on the Victory.

But out of caution, Clooney decided to investigate further.

So he pretended to be a suffering sea dweller, gathering intelligence. If possible, he would coordinate with his subordinates from within; if not, he would leave quietly.

Advance and retreat freely.

“Send a message and call them over.”

“Um,” Kro looked at Dick cautiously, “I can call them over and help you defeat them, but could you hand me over to the Navy?”

Oh ho, you dare to negotiate?

That's it now; Kro is still scheming.

"Roast him for another half hour, and also, don't let him commit suicide."

Chloe: o(≧口≦)o

"I'll send it, I'll send it, I'll send it right away, waah..."

Once again gagged, the crew faithfully carried out Dick's orders.

The next day, when Dick met Chloe, Chloe had completely changed.

His hair was a mess, his meticulously dressed clothes were tattered, and he was drooling as he laughed and giggled.

"Hey, who are you?" Kro asked Dick curiously.

His eyes were clear yet foolish.

Dick remained silent.

Does this mean that Kro has gone mad?

They went crazy after baking it for just a short while?

He didn't do anything else.

As everyone knows, in the world of One Piece, even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit; ordinary flames can't kill people. Its destructive power is limited.

“1, 2,” Kro counted on his hands, shaking his head.

A moment later, it started meowing like a cat again.

It even imitated a cat's walk. And it did it quite well.

So, he's really gone mad?

Dick stroked his chin, and a burst of soul fire ignited on it.

"Ahhh, ahhh," Kro screamed. Although he had prepared himself mentally to endure torture and everything, the pain still exceeded his endurance.

"Help! Help! Don't burn it!"

See, I told you I was just pretending to be crazy.

Dick shook his head.

Crook, pretending to be crazy is indeed a good idea, but you pretend to be crazy just by warming yourself by a fire? Isn't that insulting my intelligence?

Kro: 凸(艹皿艹)

"Since you're still trying to pull some tricks, then bake some more—"

"No, no, I'll send it, I'll send the signal!" Kro shouted.

"Alright, send a signal to have your men come over. Don't try anything funny."

Kro's face was ashen, and he said nothing.

He nodded in agreement.

That night, the Black Cat Pirates, who had been preparing for a long time, were sharpening their weapons, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

After all, no strategy of the Hundred Clowns ever fails.

His profound wisdom, flawless strategies, and overwhelming strength were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the pirates.

Whenever the captain took to the field, what awaited them was a harvest and plunder.

"Signal has arrived, proceed."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 37 Gol D. Ace

The pirates boarded the ship silently, entered the ambush without a sound, and were then caught off guard and beaten without warning.

Bang bang bang.

Did the captain's plan fail?

The Black Cat Pirates launched a fierce counterattack.

Even if ambushed, they can still overwhelm the crew.

Dick: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

These are the soldiers of the Kingdom of Goa.

"Haha, Captain Crowe is indeed amazing."

The pirates cheered, their morale soaring.

Everything was part of Crowe's plan. They had just doubted the great Captain Crowe—how awful!

"Kill them, the warships are ours."

Then, Dick beat him to a pulp, leaving him utterly humiliated and running for his life.

He was still puzzled even when the last pirate fell unconscious.

"Is that dog-like man Captain Crowe?"

Dick scrutinized the pirate wearing the new type of glasses and a top hat.

The person Dick values ​​most in the Black Cat Pirates.

Hypnotist, highly praised.

To be honest, he really does resemble a certain world-famous superstar.

Of course, they only look somewhat alike.

"I surrender, please don't kill me." Zango surrendered very readily.

Especially after seeing the horrific, near-collapsed state of Kro.

Those who surrendered felt even less psychological pressure.

“Very good,” Dick said, giving Zango an approving look.

He likes "Jun Jie" (a character from a Chinese novel).

First, get everyone out.

"Tell me, Zango, what's the deal with your hypnosis?"

That's right, hypnosis.

This is what Dick values ​​most about Zango.

Zango can hypnotize a pirate into believing he is Kuro; he can also make Axe King Morgan believe he has captured Kuro and has not been exposed for many years.

what is this?

This is hypnotic control.

In certain numbering scenarios, this would be a much-anticipated and enjoyable storyline.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Django's hypnosis is not a Devil Fruit ability.

“Teach me,” Dick said, his voice rough.

"Huh? I can't teach you this skill?" Zango said, embarrassed.

Former Captain Crowe also wanted to learn hypnosis, but he failed.

He even suspected that he was hiding something from others and beat himself up.

“Teach me.”

“Okay, okay.” Zango shuddered. “I can’t guarantee I can teach you, and it won’t work against opponents with strong willpower.”

Zango immediately revealed all his hypnosis techniques and insights.
