Klockdahl's daily life was nothing short of extravagant, and of course, it all belonged to Townsend now.

He slept comfortably, took the most luxurious and comfortable bath he had since he started his life as a buyer, and then changed into a proper and decent light blue suit, with a black coat draped over the suit.

Nicole Robin restyled his hair and combed it neatly at the back of his head, revealing a smooth forehead.

"Good craftsmanship."

Townsend stood in front of the full-length mirror and straightened his collar.

"When I was younger, I hid for a while in a barber shop on a small island in the North Sea." Nicole Robin doesn't shy away from mentioning her past.

"You look like a big guy now." She looked at Townsend and said, "However, there is still a cigar missing, and Klockdahl has the best stock here." ”

"No, I don't." "I'm not interested in relying on external decoration to become a big man, I'm a pragmatist," Townsend said. ”

"Decent dress is just to subtly increase the convincing power of your own language."

"After all, Mr. Crocodale doesn't think he's going to have a common thread with someone who wears a straw hat all day."

"You said before that you wanted Klockdahl to play for you—" Nicole Robin paused, "I'm afraid it's not possible to rely on words alone." ”

"I know that man, and he will never be subservient."

"I know him better than you do, Nicole Robin." Tang Sen smiled: "Moreover, I don't intend to make him loyal to me, I prefer to call it cooperation." ”

"Now, you can take me to meet Mr. Crocodall, it's been a long time, I hope he's calmer than before."

"Please follow me." Nicole Robin's greatest strength is that even if she has her own ideas, it will never affect her to do things, and her experience since childhood has taught her how to make herself impeccable.

This is an excellent assistant.

"Although the cells are not made of pure sea stone, but have some inlays on the steel fences, they also cost a lot of money, and Klockdahl built this cell to imprison pirates who are valuable to the world government, and then send them to the Great Prison under the Sea or Mary Joy."

Nicole Robin explained, as she walked, "He spent a lot of effort to maintain relations with the world government and navy, in fact, among the Seven Martial Seas, Klockdahl has the best official reputation, he maintains order in Alabastan, blocks most of the pirates who try to enter the great shipping route through Alabastan, and never uses the power of the Seven Martial Seas to do anything wrong." ”

"Isn't this the purpose of the World Government's recruitment of the Seven Martial Seas in the first place?" Townsend said casually: "It is wise to hide your ambitions, but unfortunately, Mr. Klockdahl's pattern is still too small. ”

The Seven Martial Seas, in the eyes of ordinary people, are nothing more than the stupid policies of the World Government, which not only exempted those sea thieves who were full of evil from their previous crimes, revoked their bounty orders, but also gave them the right to plunder legally-

This kind of policy is too criticized.

But Townsend was perfectly capable of understanding why the world government would do this.

Maybe most of the Celestial Dragons are some idiots, but the Five Old Stars and the top brass of the Navy are certainly not, and their original purpose in recruiting the Seven Martial Seas was to use pirates to rule pirates.

Ever since One Piece Gore · D. Roger's words before he was executed opened the era of pirates, and the whole world became chaotic, and countless people threw themselves into the sea and stepped into the ranks of pirates-

Naturally, there are people who take the initiative to go to sea for the sake of the legendary Great Secret Treasure ONE PIECE, but most of them are people who have been robbed of their hometowns and destroyed their families because of the sharp increase in the number of pirates.

These people poured into the Great Route, plundering, killing, destroying, and even heading to the "New World" in the second half of the world, becoming the source of the Pirate Emperors' troops.

The Seven Martial Seas system is aimed at this.

The World Government has given the Seven Warriors the right to plunder legally, but of course, such lawful raiding does not include the member countries of the World Government and the merchant ships under their countries, only pirates and non-member countries.

The reason for including the pirates is simple, the World Government wants the Seven Martial Seas to block those newborn pirates on the Great Route, and block the way for the pirates from the Four Seas and even the Great Passage to the New World.

And including non-member countries - those countries that are unwilling to pay the heavenly gold to the Celestial Dragons, or who can't afford to pay the heavenly gold, are all non-allied countries, the world government doesn't care about these countries at all, and the navy won't protect these countries, if the Seven Martial Seas can turn these countries upside down so that they have to pay the heavenly gold, then of course it's a good thing.

The plan is beautiful, but unfortunately it is not so easy to implement.

The pirates who were recruited into the Seven Martial Seas didn't look at the face of the World Government at all, and they were entrenched in various places and went their own way, not to mention fighting the pirates, most of the Seven Martial Seas were just relying on their privileges to be more unscrupulous.

Among them, Klockdahl, who is conscientiously entrenched in Alabastan to stop pirates, and often provides valuable Devil Fruit abilities to the high-level, is particularly dedicated.

In the original book, if it weren't for Luffy's sideways intervention, Klockdahl would definitely have succeeded in seizing the kingdom by causing civil strife in Alabastan, and the world government and navy would never interfere, even if they guessed that the civil strife might be Klockdahl's conspiracy, but as long as Klockdahl was still dedicated, what was the need for them to interfere?

"No matter how well he does his duty in the Seven Martial Seas, for the world government, he is just a loyal dog, and he can't make any waves, even if he steals this country, he can't break free from the control of the upper echelons." Townsend said.

"That's why he wants Hades." Nicole Robin said.

"No matter how powerful a weapon is, if you don't have the strength to control it, it's just a wedding dress for others."

As he spoke, the two of them had already reached the lower level of the rain banquet and entered a secret room.

The room was apparently at the bottom of the lake, with glass walls through which large shadows could be seen roaming in the water outside.

The banana crocodile that Klockdal kept in captivity, an extremely large and ferocious crocodile.

Townsend's attention wasn't focused on the harmless critters, though, and he looked to the center of the room.

In the center is a boxy iron fence, in which a figure is sitting with his head bowed.

Footsteps echoed through the house prices, but Klockdahl didn't look up.

Townsend walked over to the fence and looked at Klockdahl.

The other party's originally neat hair was scattered at this time, shadows covered his eyes, the decent fur jacket was already in disarray, and the suit below was even more scattered, revealing a blood-stained shirt.

Nicole Robin apparently didn't help the other party get the Hailou Stone bullet out.

"Mr. Crocodall, meet again."

Townsend broke the silence, "Now, we can have a good chat. ”
