Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 65 The Five Elders' Scheme! (Please read on! Please vote with your monthly tickets!)

Red Line, Mary Geoise, Pangaea, Between Powers.

The bald Five Elders—World Government's Financial God—Izambaron V. Nasujuro noticed Crocodile's displeased tone, but he didn't mind at all.

For a mere Shichibukai to be willing to lower his stance and contact the other party is already a great honor for him, a member of the Five Elders!

Moreover, the sand crocodile was displeased.

Nasujiro Sei was also in a very bad mood.

"A member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, recognized by the government, actually lost to a rookie pirate who had just emerged!"

Nasujiro threw a brief fax onto the table and coldly questioned Crocodile on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"You crocodile, what do you take the government's reputation for?!"

The brief fax contained several news photos from the World Economic News.

There is a photo of a "white dragon" soaring through the sky;

There is a photo of Crocodile lying on the ground, unable to get up;

In one photo, the "White Dragon" replaces the "Golden Banana Crocodile" and sits atop the Rain Banquet Pyramid...

The content of these photos is connected.

Even someone who can't read can understand the meaning of the picture.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of "White Dragon"!

Regarding this incident.

The World Economic News has already compiled the relevant news and plans to make it the front page headline tomorrow!

The world's governments received advance warnings from the World Economic News.

Since this news event involved the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it naturally reached the highest authority—the Five Elders.

This is also why Nassuro Sei called Crocodile.

The Five Elders need to personally confirm whether this veteran Shichibukai was truly defeated by "White Dragon".

Through Nasujiro's words, Crocodile has roughly figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

The other party somehow found out that he had lost to Bai Long...

The Five Elders are bastards!

White Dragon is a bastard too!

Crocodile gave Storm a cold glance, then spoke indifferently to the Five Elders on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"When has the world government ever cared about things like 'face'?"

Although Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he doesn't have the habit of fawning over the Five Elders.

"My actions are none of the business of the world government!"

"How dare you!"

Nasujiro Sei instantly flew into a rage.

"Sand Crocodile, watch your attitude!"

"Just as the government can invite you to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it can also revoke your status as one at any time!"

"laugh……"

Crocodile scoffed, his disdain evident in his expression.

If the establishment and abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were really that easy.

Then the world government wouldn't have gone to the trouble of setting up this "legal great pirate" system!

However, despite his disdain, Crocodile did not continue to speak or directly mock Nassou.

The position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Crocodile is still quite concerned about this.

Despite what Bai Long said about the secret of the "Hades blueprints"...

However, Crocodile preferred to believe the information he had.

Hades must be in Alabasta!

It's such a shame about Nico Robin...

Between power.

After offering a few polite words to uphold the dignity of the Five Elders, Nasujiro Sei got down to business.

"Crocodile, is Vongola Storm still in Alabasta?"

Vongola Storm?

Crocodile was instantly startled.

The Five Elders actually know Bai Long's real name?!

Who exactly is this White Dragon?

Crocodile asked, seemingly without changing his expression.

"Who is Vongola Storm...?"

"That's that 'White Dragon' thing! Humph!"

Nasujiro Sei gave a rather displeased snort.

"A brat from the Navy, possessing such a title, the same as an admiral... how laughable!"

"navy?"

Crocodile was once again deeply shaken.

"Is Haku a member of the Navy?"

"He is the biggest stain on the Navy!"

Nasujiro Sei was clearly unwilling to talk too much about the "White Dragon".

After all, in his opinion, if "White Dragon" hadn't defected, the Navy might have gained another admiral.

By then, the government's rule will be more secure, but unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now...

Slaughter the endless hell, escape Impel Down, and plunder naval warships.

Vongola Storm is absolutely lawless!

The Navy's biggest stain?

Crocodile realized something.

Haku must have committed some wrongdoing, which is why he left the Navy—or perhaps defected?

The fact that Bai Long's story reached the ears of the Five Elders means that this guy has committed some serious offense...

Just as Crocodile was deep in thought, Nasujiro continued to ask questions.

"Is that guy still in Alabasta?"

Crocodile snapped out of his daze and responded coldly.

"No comment!"

"Sand crocodile!"

Nassuro Sei raised his voice again.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea have an obligation to cooperate with the government's actions!"

"snort!"

Crocodile ignored Nassuro's warning.

"Since the World Government has such well-connected intelligence networks, you can easily gather information yourselves!"

pat!

After Crocodile finished speaking, he immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"White Dragon? Navy? Huh?"

Crocodile stared at Storm, as if wanting an explanation.

"Who doesn't have a past they'd rather forget?"

Storm spread his hands, then suddenly changed the subject.

"For example, I had a friend before whose name was—Ambrio Ivankov."

"The King of Ivankov is a very honest person. He told me that there is a veteran Shichibukai—"

Upon hearing the name of the Okama King, Crocodile sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Before Storm could finish speaking, he abruptly interrupted him with a dark expression.

"That's enough!"

There's absolutely no way Haku could be a Marine!

The Five Elders are right!

This guy is just a stain!

……

Pangu City, a place of power struggles.

The five elders gathered together.

Nasujuro Sei dropped the Den Den Mushi he was holding and then picked up the famous sword beside him.

"What a pity, it seems the Sand Crocodile didn't die at the hands of the White Dragon..."

"That's strange..."

Topman Worchli, the World Government's God of Law and War, with a scythe-like beard and a scar on his forehead, said in bewilderment.

"Judging from what White Dragon did in Infinite Hell, Sand Crocodile should be dead for sure."

"Why did White Dragon kill so many pirates in Infinite Hell, but spare Crocodile after leaving Impel Down?"

"Pirates' actions are always unpredictable."

The world government's agricultural war god, Shepard X. Pitt, with his blond hair, shook his head.

"Perhaps after leaving Impel Down, White Dragon had other ideas, wanting to recruit subordinates and build a power base..."

"Recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"This is what Marcus Mazs, the World Government's Environmental War God with a goatee, said."

"That's quite a bold speculation."

"Compared to these, I'm more concerned about why the White Dragon appeared directly in Alabasta."

"Wearing a black hat, with white hair and a white beard, the World Government's God of Scientific Defense—Jaygorusia Satan—reminded me."

"He was in Impel Down, which is almost half a world away from Alabasta!"

"The white dragon can fly..."

"Makkas Mazsan said calmly."

"Although I don't know why the Clay-Clay Fruit can make you fly, it's clear that Haku has a knack for developing his Devil Fruit abilities..."

"Hmph! [Clay-Clay Fruit]..."

Topman Vochuli Saint snorted disdainfully, like a wild boar snorting.

"Even if it's developed to a high level, so what?"

Nasujiro spoke up at the opportune moment.

"At least enough to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, isn't that more than enough?"

Upon hearing this, a soft chuckle rippled through the room of power.

"That's true. Judging from the strength Haku has shown before, his Clay-Clay Fruit has fully awakened..."

"An awakened Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, more than enough to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"Wasn't the original purpose of establishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea to divide the increasingly large pirate group...?"

"Since Haku enjoys dealing with pirates so much, let him continue doing that..."

"Unfortunately, the sand crocodile didn't die..."

"But given Haku's personality, he'll probably approach the other Seven Warlords of the Sea soon, right?"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea aren't exactly obedient, so having a newcomer replace them can serve as a warning..."

"Letting someone with a 'blemish' who left the naval system become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will serve as a warning to the Navy..."

"Let the Navy set a bounty for Vongola Storm first..."

……

The contents of the Five Elders' private meetings are unknown to the outside world.

However, news of the Shichibukai's crushing defeat quickly spread like wildfire.

The day after the Baroque Gustav returned to Alabasta.

The World Economic Daily's newspaper was then sent to every corner of the world.

Front page headline —

Heroic Defeat! The Strongest Rookie Pirate in History!

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Storm looked at the newspaper in his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This news headline is really good."

"Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think I beat up that 'hero' from the Navy..."

"snort!"

The Alabasta hero standing nearby let out a disdainful snort.

"The strength of Hero Garp is beyond your imagination!"

"Old Sha."

Storm put down his newspaper and looked at Crocodile with a puzzled expression.

"Do you have some strange illness? It's called the 'Unimaginable Disease'!"

Crocodile was mocked, and his face turned ashen.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'm going to find my next 'collaborator'."

With a casual wave of his hand, Storm conjured a blue-eyed white dragon and took Robin soaring into the sky.

set off.

Banaro Island.
