Chapter 1257: The Cross Guild to be formed, the big steel snake underground
"Hey, Moria, don't be so nervous, I'm not here to fight with you, we're old acquaintances no matter how we talk about it."
He said that he didn't want to fight, but a little yellow sand had already scattered on the ground nearby with the breeze.
As Klockdahl and Hawkeye say, what they have in common is that they can't trust anyone, and Klockdahl has a subordinate like Mr. 1, but Mr. 1 is not his partner who can deliver his back.
At this point, Moria looked vain, but Klockdahl was not sure what was going on with him.
"You let Absalom go first."
For the current Moria, Absalom is his last obsession.
Although he had been in a period of severe decadence for the past two years, when Absalom had disappeared at the time he was supposed to return, he was still worried about finding him.
“Mr·1。”
Hearing this, Mr. 1 removed the arm that was resting on Absalom's neck.
During this time, Absalom relied on secretly taking pictures of the privacy of some dignitaries and pirates, and wrote manuscripts in exchange for living expenses, and the more famous the pirates, the more they could be paid.
Under normal circumstances, no one would always be vigilant with what they see and hear, and Quinn's persecution paranoia has reached an advanced stage, and it has not developed to the point where it doesn't matter what you see and hear.
Absalom is also a transparent fruit powerhouse, which can make himself completely transparent, and this transparency can even reduce his own aura to a certain extent, so that outsiders cannot detect him.
Relying on this ability, Absa, a freelance writer, is also a celebrity in Morgans, and he happened to find out that Klockdahl appeared here, and wanted to follow and secretly take some information, but unfortunately he was finally discovered.
If it weren't for the fact that Klockdahl had investigated the information of the other Seven Martial Seas when he was doing the Seven Martial Seas before, he really wouldn't have recognized Absalom's subordinate to whom.
Now that the Baroque Workshop has closed, Daz Bonis is still with him, von Clay and Galdino have their own places, some of them have been imprisoned in the Advance City, and the rest have opened a coffee shop, but the information is still in Klockdahl's head.
Looking at Moria, who had kept Absalom in his back, Klockdahl sat directly on the box behind him.
"I thought you died in the war on the top, but I didn't expect to hide in this place."
"It has nothing to do with you, don't come to disturb Lao Tzu's life."
"Do you mean hiding in a corner and letting your subordinates feed you?"
Klokdahl wanted to provoke Moria, and from his more blessed size, Klokdahl could already think about what he had been through in the past two years.
But it doesn't matter, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it is extremely decadent, Moria himself is still there, at least Mr. 1 who is with him will not be Moria's opponent.
Moreover, Moriah's own name is still there, and the addition of one more original Seven Martial Seas can further strengthen his organization.
Klockdahl's current aim is to make the Navy aware of his threat, thus creating an "ideal country", a military state free from any threat.
For this, he needs strength and wealth, and joining forces with Hawkeye is for power, and the same is true for trying to recruit Moria.
Ideally, they would seek more benefits in this turbulent sea, and even get the world government to recognize them as a legitimate state, and obtain the same transcendent status as Guran Tezzolo.
In peacetime, such a thing would not have been possible, but in this situation of strained naval forces, Klockdahl saw a new possibility.
Of course, this matter is very difficult, and the World Government has finally made up its mind to clear the Seven Martial Seas, and it will definitely not make such a more troublesome organization.
If an organization gains the same legitimacy as a state, it means that the member state can attack the non-member countries at will, and even if a war is waged against the member countries, the navy loses the right to capture them and can only mediate.
So Klockdahl's temporary goal is just to gather a few people first and huddle together on this sea to keep warm.
"Speaking of which, there have been a lot of actions on the side of the beasts recently, and Kaido even dispatched it himself."
"Shut up! Don't say that name! ”
"Why, can a name scare you like this? You're a coward, Moria. ”
"You don't understand, you crocodile bastard doesn't understand anything, why are you saying this!"
Looking at Moria's reaction, Klocodahl felt that he could still be saved, and according to his speculation, Moria would do something to him next, but he was definitely not his opponent in this situation.
After a few simple hits and a clean of his decadent mentality, he can be recruited, but things are not at all the same as he thinks.
After a brief period of anger, Moria was actually directly deflated.
"Hey, hey, hee. Crocodile bastard, you can experience it for yourself, you will understand sooner or later."
At this time, Moria was hit a little hard, first defeated by Wano Country, and then after living in the Devil's Triangle for several years, he found that his efforts were very humble, and the bear, who was also the Seven Martial Seas, could easily defeat him.
When it came to the top war, Kaido destroyed his decades of "efforts" with an understatement.
In an extremely bad situation, Klocodahl's entry point is wrong, not to mention him, even if he comes with a different mouth, don't think of a few words to make him regain his fighting spirit.
"Wait!"
A sand lan stood in front of Moria, and Klockdahl didn't want to let him go.
What he wants is an influence, and every time he has more Primordial Seven Martial Seas, he can make this organization more famous, and it will be easier to achieve his goals.
"What about your men? Presumably, you don't pay much attention to the news on the sea, and now the sea is becoming more and more dangerous, and you can't protect your subordinates at all now.
There are a lot of people who have offended him as a copywriter, and if someone really comes to the door one day, what will you do? ”
Different people have to take different plans, and Hawkeye hates trouble, so Klockdahl used the reason to reduce his troubles, and judging from where Moria walked, it could be seen that he still cared about Absalom.
Moria has been escaping and having to face reality, and Klockdahl's questioning makes him stop in his tracks.
"What do you think, Absalom?"
"Lord Moria, whatever you do, I will always follow you."
"That's right."
When Hawkeye arrives at his destination according to the position given by Klockdahl, there are more people waiting for him besides Klockdahl and Mr. 1, Moria and Absalom.
At the first moment of seeing Hawkeye, Klocodahl's face completely collapsed.
Hawkeye followed a lot of subordinates, but none of them were human.
"Hawkeye, are you running a zoo?"
"It's just some helpers, you said you came to my alliance, but there are only four people in total?"
"Enough is enough, our reputation together is enough to recruit enough subordinates, but funding is a problem, and it's time to collect debts."
"Debt collection?"
"Yes, there's a guy who owes me a lot of money, and maybe we'll have a windfall, at least not with baboons and manatees as sailors."
These kung fu manatees give Klockdahl some not-so-good memories, and always remind him of the harrowing experience of Alabastan.
Not long after, Kale Bali, who was about to move, encountered a group of uninvited guests.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"See, Hawkeye, Sand Crocodile, and Moonlight Moriah, they are all sea pirates who have done the Seven Martial Seas, and they actually came to Captain Bucky together."
"Ah, I really want to go and see it, I don't know what a grand meeting it is in the tent now, now must be a historic moment."
The members of Bucky Express watched excitedly, unbeknownst to them, the situation behind the tent was very different from what they had thought.
"Bucky, you should know what I came to you for, right?"
Spat out a smoke ring, Crocodall's hook slamming against the table in front of him, a hint of impatience in his words.
[I know, of course I know, this creditor is here to ask for money, but I don't have the money to pay it back now. 】
Bucky's heart is very entangled, because Klockdahl is his biggest creditor at this time.
The development of Bucky Express needs money, and Bucky's heritage can basically only be free in the four seas, and there is no way to develop in the New World, and it was Klockdahl who borrowed a lot of money from him in the first place.
Although Klockdahl was also imprisoned, some treasures hidden outside and the strength of the dragon field after enlightenment still gave him a new family background.
The situation that the one who owes money is the uncle will not happen on this sea, or in other words, if the creditor has the strength, the old man will not appear, if you dare to owe money and not pay it back, the creditor will dare to directly ask for your life.
"This."
"Bucky, I didn't ask you for interest, this is already very lenient, should you tell me, you don't have the money to pay back."
"How is it possible, hahaha, give me some time, I'll be right away."
"Forget it, I don't believe you, Mr. 3 told me if Bucky has the money to pay me back."
"Nope!"
Under Bucky's expectant gaze, Mr. 3 held on for two seconds before selling Bucky's details to Crocodall.
"Gartino! Do you kid want to betray me?! ”
"I didn't think I was your subordinate! I'm so happy to be back under your boss after so many years. ”
After retorting to Bucky, Mr. 3 flatteringly answered Klockdahl's question.
Hawkeye, Klocodahl, Moria, this combination is better than Bucky, an organization that relies on touting.
In Mr. 3's opinion, Bucky has no money to pay off his debts, and it is better to change the court as soon as possible, even Bucky's old subordinates think so at this time.
"Hmph, from what I know about you, you were planning to run away, everything on the island is almost packed, where do you want to go? Bucky. ”
"Isn't this a naval attack, and I plan to develop in a different place."
"Stop talking nonsense, pay it back quickly, if you can't pay it back, I'll have to sell you from the black market to the Navy for a bounty.
With such a big property of yours, don't you have any private money at all? ”
"This. Don't look at this Bucky Express looks very good, in fact, it is very difficult to develop, so many people's food expenses are a lot of expenses, and the beasts and BIG· The union of MOM occupies the vast majority of business on the sea, and we can only survive in the cracks.
How can we say that it is also a friendship of prison escape, let's give a few more days~"
"I'll lend you money just for the sake of this friendship, if you can't pay it, I'll cut myself off, save the navy from torturing you, a few of us plan to establish a new company, and now we're short of money."
"Wait! That's okay for me, no matter how bad I am, I'm still the original Seven Martial Seas, and there are so many people under my command, I will use labor to repay the money I owe you.
To build a company, you have to be powerful, I have a variety of professionals here, advertising design, printing, shipping at your disposal! Use me as a servant. ”
After abandoning his dignity and signing a deed of sale, Bucky was given a chance to survive, and Absalom was involved in designing the campaign, playing out as a freelance journalist.
At least judging from the propaganda posters, it was an alliance of four people, not one person ruling over the others, and in the era of increasing chaos, the rudiments of an organization composed of the four original kings of the Seven Martial Seas had also appeared on this sea.
In Mandelfeish's territory, Tiger is teaching the selected elite Fishman squad how to manipulate torpedoes.
Even if they are fishmen, they have to learn the standard way of operation, and if they get stuck in a torpedo, it will be a big problem.
"That's how it works, you don't have to get close enough to sneak in from the bottom of the sea, but you have to remember one thing, our purpose is not to kill people."
The goal of the Fish-People is to let humans know that they have the ability to fight back, not just to promote terror, which is why Tiger will reveal his identity.
He needed to use Morgans's news channels and the support of the Revolutionary Army to promote the idea of peace among the Fish-People, and if the World Government was to propagate it at will, the results would not be satisfactory.
"Our enemies are the Draconians, the nobles who want to enslave us, not ordinary people, and the current attack plan is mainly aimed at ships, and you are all old men who follow me.
For the sake of Fish-Man Island, for the sake of the young people of Fish-Man Island, I pay attention to everything I do. ”
Before the attack began, Tiger was ready for a war of public opinion, and now the human kingdom's support for the fish-people was half to half.
His goal is to make the people who reject the Fishmen understand the methods of the Fishmen, so that they can restrain and change themselves, rather than make the country that originally supported equality hate the Fishmen.
There are a lot of details to pay attention to, so Tiger plans to lead the team to deal with this matter himself after the interview.
At the same time, there were more people in front of Olga, who had finished supplying.
"Is there anyone else going along? Nobody is going, I'm leaving! ”
Pulling out a horn from Elizabeth's backpack, Olga shouted at the front, and the three generations who had been vacationing here also lined up neatly.
"I said Mandelfesch, is there nothing wrong with you getting out of here?"
"No problem, Tiger won't leave here for three days, Nereus will be here tomorrow, plus Hercules and Gainokekt, the safety of the island is no problem."
"I think you don't worry about me, and I think I can't look down on your child."
"I didn't, Sister Olga, don't talk nonsense, but to be honest, can you stand the three of them?"
"Hmph, you're underestimating me, my ability is enough to ensure that they don't run around."
There are many places where the illusion ability is capricious, and it is also very convenient to watch children.
Olga can choose to trick their brains into thinking they're already doing what they want to do, when in fact they're just standing still.
"Forget it, eldest sister, you yourself know that your ability is always not a good thing for your own people."
An illusion that is too realistic is a kind of mental toxin, and if it is done for a long time, people affected by illusions may be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, so Olga usually just talks about it.
"Even if I don't have the ability, I have a lot of experience, do you want to be a child with me for a longer time?"
Olga defeated Mandelfesch with an irrefutable reason, and with more than 150 years of experience as bear children, she knew what children thought.
"But it doesn't matter if you follow, the Pirate Expo is quite interesting this time."
"How?"
"Tezzolo got word that someone had asked them to perform there at a big price."
"Uta?"
"Uta and Ann, if Uta goes, the red-haired guy is estimated to be nearby, if there is any situation, then the fun will be really big."
The Pirate Expo didn't just come out of nowhere this year, it was a big celebration that only came to the pirates every few years.
The organizers have always been mysterious, and no one knows who is planning it.
However, it is not a good thing for pirates to gather together, and the total bounty of pirates gathered at such illegal events often exceeds 10 billion, as well as various illegal operations of the Dark Sacrifice.
Navy, bounty hunters, these related professions will also be attracted to the past.
"Anyway, there won't be any big problems, you're going to go with you anyway, we're enough to deal with the unexpected, and this is one of the few leisure moments."
"Probably."
The situation in the Red Earth Continent, the situation in the navy has not yet been summarized here, these people are busy with some special things, and under the command of York and Lilith, a large iron box has been sent here.
As the shape of the machine changed, a burrowing robot with a drill bit on the front appeared, which was used to survey unknown tunnels in the Red Continent.
"There's a palace down here."
The detection device carried on the machine feeds back the exploration situation, and the labyrinthine tunnels below seem to be chaotic, but in fact they are connected to each other, forming a special living space.
There are also many large cavities inside, which look like hollowed-out mines.
"Wow, Lilith, can you believe it? Someone's mining down here. ”
"Do you think these tunnels are mines?"
"No, it's like an anthill, it seems to have been done specifically by order of the queen ant."
With that, York pressed a button and turned on the new detection device.
"There is no life signal, it looks like it has been moved away a long time ago, and these tunnels have existed for more than ten years, so it may be some unknown creature."
The probes on the probe didn't see any fresh traces of dirt, but York's research machine didn't notice that a pair of red eyes in the rock formation were already on the machine.
Click!
Looking at the screen with the signal disconnected, York rubbed his eyes, and then patted his own device.
"Lilith, do you see a sign of a creature approaching?"
"No, I guess it's a landslide, don't those tunnels often collapse these days, the quality of this thing you make is not good."
"Those guys are urging urging, can the quality be good? Forget it, just tell them about it. ”
"So be it, they've got someone with the power to fill in these tunnels anyway."
York finally chose to be perfunctory, York's purpose was to enjoy, not to work as a slave for the Draconians, so after a perfunctory result, he hastily announced the end of the matter.
In the depths of the tunnel, a silver figure had just run over the detector, and since it was underground, there was no light in sight around it, and only some edges and corners could be barely seen.
It wasn't until the figure continued downward, reaching the position of the underground magma layer, that people could see its figure clearly through the light reflected by the magma.
Silver-gray body, shovel-like mouth, the evolution of the Great Rock Snake, Iron Snake Pokémon - Big Steel Snake.
These tunnels were left by the big rock snakes, but the big rock snakes didn't stay here forever, and they moved out of here after digging up this part of the minerals.
The big steel snake is here to help the Changelings with something.
Geng Ghost was evacuated urgently, but the Changeling Monster was still lurking here, and now the things collected are almost the same, so there is such a train to get off the bus.
Under the influence of high pressure and high heat underground, its body structure changed, and the iron element that was swallowed into the stomach with the soil dissolved and reorganized, and finally formed this layer of steel armor.
Its eyes also have night vision, so when it spotted the robot, it circled around and destroyed the strange thing.
As for why the probe didn't find a signal from the big steel snake, it is a Pokémon made of metal, and although it has the ability to breathe and eat, its body structure is different from that of regular creatures.
Pokémon of this attribute are not within the detection range of the detector at all, so naturally they will not be discovered.
The Great Steel Serpent didn't care if these tunnels were filled in or not, for them it was just an abandoned mine road, long uninhabited, and even if it was needed, their powerful digging ability could open up a new road in a short time.
It's just that it doesn't want to be discovered by something inexplicable, so it destroys the detector, and it really disguises itself as a cave collapse, so that York, who is passive and slacking off, doesn't notice the accident at all.
At the same time, when the Great Steel Serpent was preparing to act, the Changeling Monster of the Red Earth Continent was also acting, and at this time, it had disguised itself as a piece of grass on the ground, and was looking at Musgarud's situation.
