Chapter Seventy-Three: The Birth of the Sand Crocodile
The clear water, blue as a jewel, the golden sand, soft and soft, the sound of the waves crashing on the reef in the distance breaks the silence of the seaside, and the seagulls flying in the sky chirp loudly.
This is a medium-sized island that is not too big or too small, it is a summer island, located in the middle of the first half of the great shipping route, and there is a non-world government in the opposition on it, so small that the world government cannot look down on it.
As the sea breeze drifts towards the center of the island, you can see the dilapidated buildings one after another, the blood stains on the ground, and the number of unsightly corpses gradually increase.
Probably because of the blood that rushed to the sky, the cool and slightly salty sea breeze finally dissipated helplessly over the center.
At this time, on the golden throne in this small royal palace called the kingdom of Assab sat a man, a man with a large back, a long scar on his face, and a white fur coat on a black background.
The most conspicuous thing about this man is the huge golden hook in the shape of a scorpion tail on his right hand, and the barb faintly exudes a purple cold light, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Ten meters in front of him, lay twenty or thirty corpses dressed in different clothes, all of whom had been officials, nobles, guards, and kings of the country during their lifetimes.
At this time, a bald man with a strong figure, muscular, a long war knife on his waist and hips, and the word "壹" tattooed on his chest walked in from outside the palace, and he saw that he was holding a man with a bloodstained face and a frightened eye in his right hand, holding a fruit in his left hand, a sand-yellow spherical fruit with a spiral pattern on the outside, the fruit stalk was blue, and the skin was formed by the gathering of countless small eye-shaped spiral fruit patterns.
"Daz, this is..."
At this time, Klockdahl, who had a bounty of 81 million Bailey, saw him come in and immediately focused his attention on the devil fruit in his hand, as for the man, he directly ignored it.
"In the underground palace of the royal palace, it is not the Hades King, but this natural devil fruit." Daz has an extremely taciturn personality, so he didn't say much nonsense, and directly said briefly about the matter: "And this guy wants to swallow this fruit privately." â
"Woo, Captain, I was wrong!"
"I don't dare anymore, woo, please, don't kill me!"
The man who was thrown to the ground by Daz was controlled by fear, and he knew very well that it was pointless to run away in front of these two people, so he could only sit on the ground in despair, crying bitterly and begging for mercy.
Klockdahl stood up from his throne, ignored him, and directly took the Devil Fruit handed over by Daz, and carefully examined this incomparably precious "Sea Treasure".
"Scratch!"
Klockdahl didn't say much nonsense, and after thinking for a while and weighing the pros and cons, he directly tore off a piece of flesh with his mouth, and then ate the bitter devil fruit with a blank face, and there was not even the top cyan fruit stalk left.
"Whew... The taste of power is really good~ Hahahaha! â
Enjoying the feeling of the Devil Fruit transforming his body in his body, Klockdahl couldn't help but laugh, although this operation did not find the legendary Hades, but it was not bad to get a natural fruit.
Daz on the other side looked at Klockdahl in silence, and the man on the ground, who had completely collapsed, no longer begged for mercy, no longer cried, he... There is no hope of life in sight.
"Get up, you can go...."It was only then that Klockdahl turned his gaze to his own crew.
Hearing Klockdahl's words, this pirate wrapped his head around a circle of black cloth, and instantly showed an unbelievable look, he had just been. What do you hear?
"Anyway, I've been with me for almost half a year, and I'm going to kill you... It's some... Reluctant"
"Woo woo, captain, I'm sorry for you, sorry for you, woo, thank you, thank you!" The despair in the man's eyes vanished, and the light of hope bloomed again.
After a few knocks on Klockdahl, he ran quickly to the outside of the hall in ecstasy, but just as he was about to step out of the temple gate, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Uh-uh~~"
The pirate looked down and saw a huge golden hook burst out of his abdomen, stained with blood and minced flesh. You... You don't keep your word..."After speaking, he was poisoned alive on the spot.
"Hahahaha, it's exciting to kill people who have hope!" Klockdahl withdrew his "elongated" arm, shook off the blood from the golden hook, and stood in the palace again and laughed.
Daz on the side continued to watch silently, not saying a word.
"Captain, Captain! Outside.. There's a World Government guy out there! â
At this time, a pirate who looked obviously nameless ran in from outside, and then reported loudly, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, a tall figure appeared behind him.
"When we first met, I was a member of Cipher Pol-AIGIS0, an espionage agency directly under the World Government, and I came here to discuss important matters."
Suddenly, Daz appeared next to the man with a strange mask covered in a white cloak and a strange face, and pressed the broad-bladed chopper to his neck without saying a word.
"Oh, then you can talk about it~" Klockdahl waved his hand to let the minions who came to report withdraw, and then turned to sit on the throne, looking at the uninvited "guest" playfully.
"Do you want to talk like that?" The person claiming to be a member of CP0, obviously dissatisfied with Daz's behavior, asked in a suppressed voice.
Klockdahl touched his chin with his right hand, knocked him up and down, and then laughed, "Daz put the knife down and stood guard at the door... If this guy is playing tricks on me, hehehehehe"
Daz nodded, silently stood behind him, guarding the door of the main hall behind him, and at the same time his eyes were fixed, he could feel that this mysterious guy was very strong!
"Klockdahl, I came to you to represent the world government and invite you to be one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty." The CP0 member took a few steps forward, and then said the history directly.
"Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas?" Klockdahl raised his eyebrows, quietly waiting for him to continue, and in the next ten minutes, he finally understood what the Seven Martial Seas were.
"So... Klocodahl, what is your answer? â
"Click"
"Click"
"Click"
Klockdahl pointed at the Golden Throne and pondered for a moment, he felt that this identity was very conducive to the next operation to find the Immortal, and it was acceptable.
"You said before that the World Government can accommodate some of my personal requests, right?"
The CP9 member nodded in confirmation: "As long as it's not too much, try to be satisfied." â
"Then I want ten devil fruits, as long as I agree to this condition, I will not only promise to become one of the seven martial seas under the king, but also set up a pirate hunter organization to clean up those low-level pirates, how about it?" Klokdahl opened his mouth directly.
"Ten is too many, three at most!"
"Five! Otherwise, I will leave you without this palace today~" Klockdahl stretched out five fingers that had turned into sand and said in an unquestionable tone.
Seeing the palms that turned into crumbling sand and fluttered in the air, the expressions behind the masks of the CPO members changed, this bastard.... It seems to be getting stronger again!
"Okay!"
