"Under the rules of the Conference of the Strong, how about beating them all down?"

Lindsay suggested.

Hearing this, Klockdahl, who was at the conference table, almost subconsciously retorted:

"No way!"

Enter the game according to the enemy's rules?

This is simply throwing yourself into a net, sending the rhythm to the enemy in vain!

Klockdahl didn't want to be so passive, and he had to act stealthily to avoid the attention of the many pirates......

Wait a minute.

Pirate?

Then again, am "I" also a pirate?

He has been under the king of the Seven Martial Seas for too long, and he has followed the primitive people all the way, so that Klockdal is about to forget his original identity.

And when he suddenly realized this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

"In short, playing according to the rules of the Golden Lion is too risky, and it is absolutely impossible!"

"No...... Is it? It seems to work, no! Oh oh, okay, okay, okay—"

"Feasible!"

After a struggle of ideas, Klockdahl changed his mind and confirmed:

"It's feasible to participate in the conference of the strong!"

“……”

Hearing this, everyone around immediately looked at each other, and they all didn't know why.

In this regard, Klockdahl didn't care about it, and analyzed it to himself:

"Primitive man has a point."

"Whether it's the [Golden Lion] or Anilu, their purpose is not Alabastan itself, but 'each other'!"

"So at least 'now', we are on the sidelines, and we must maintain a favorable situation."

"To that end, when we act, we first make sure that we are—"

"You can't be a maverick and become the target of everyone!"

With a cigar in his mouth, Klockdahl came to the map of Alabastan's borders and said in a deep voice:

"If we take the plan and participate in the conference of the strong openly as a 'pirate', then we can take the opportunity to keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity to move."

"If the rules of the 'Conference of the Strong' are a big melee of all forces, so much the better!"

"Hehehehehe......"

Klockdahl grinned and said with a gloomy smile:

"The pirates who are attracted by the conference of the strong will first digest a large wave internally."

"On the side of the Golden Lion and Anilu, there will inevitably be conflicts, and the best case scenario is that both sides will lose."

"At that point, if we do it again, things will be much easier."

“……”

Klockdahl tapped lightly on the table.

"It's a 'viable' proposition."

With a little more time, he would have come up with this plan, but this time it was Evan Lindsay who was one step ahead of him.

"Hehehehehe......"

"It seems that after going to sea for so long, your mind has become much more active, primitive man."

Klockdahl looked back to the side.

Evan Lindsay is working on the score with Utta, discussing Totemjika's recent reactions, while Vivi and Robin are watching from the sidelines.

Lindsay obviously didn't listen carefully to Klokdahl's words.

Klockdahl: "......"

Klockdahl: "Hey! ”

"Huh?"

Lindsay turned her head, looking a little dazed.

Only then did Crocodal suddenly realize, recalled Lindsay's previous sentence, and distilled the key point -

Participate in the Mighty Conference and beat everyone down.

“……”

Klockdahl rubbed his temples and said in a low voice, "What you just said was literal?" ”

Lindsay nodded, "Yes." ”

But looking at Crocodall, especially the bruises on his forehead, Lindsay felt that it was not good for her body to be angry all the time, so she changed her words:

"No, no...... That's right? No, no, well, yes......"

“……”

After some serious comfort, the green tendons on Klockdahl's forehead bulged a little more.

"Whew...... Whew......"

With slightly trembling fingers, he removed the cigar from his mouth and gasped for a few breaths.

"Let's have lunch first."

Klockdahl muttered, "Have lunch, and then come and discuss the staff." ”

“……”

Lindsay just wanted to nod in agreement, but Klockdahl hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't move! Don't talk either! That's it, that's it......"

“……”

……

After lunch.

Klockdahl's mood finally eased a little.

He checked the current situation with Kobra and made a plan around the anomalous presence of [Demon] Evan Lindsay.

The crowd was divided into two groups.

First, the bird fruit ability "Bell" is the leader.

He has the ability to fly and is the second most mobile in the crowd, so he does not directly participate in the strong competition, but is responsible for off-field support.

Gaka, Kobra, Vivi, Gordon, plus the people of Eleguia and the King's Army of Alabastan as support.

Their individual combat effectiveness is limited, but most of them are familiar with Alabastan, and with their large numbers, they are perfect as a support force.

People in this group will be on the lookout for opportunities while maintaining contact with the second group and communicating at all times.

However, under the influence of Anilu's "thunder", all the telephone bugs in Qinghai have failed, how can the communication between the two groups of people be guaranteed?

The answer lies in her-

Nicole Robin.

As a Flowery Fruit Person, Robin is able to generate his own organs on any object, including ears, eyes, mouths, and more.

Although there is a certain limit to the distance, as long as Bell is present, the communication problem can be solved to a certain extent.

From this, the staffing of the second group was determined as:

Aven Lindsay, Klockdahl, Nico Robin, Uta –

There's also Bucky the Clown, and his newcomer pirates.

These people will temporarily disguise themselves as "pirates", participate in the strong conference, and wait for the opportunity to move!

"Shhh

Hearing this, Bucky, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly gasped.

He tried to run, but was grabbed by Klockdahl.

"Aren't your people still in the hands of the golden lion?"

Klockdahl smiled gloomily as he pulled out the remote control he had already prepared and handed it to Bucky.

"Take it carefully, I'll give you the bomb later."

"Wait for the opportunity to let your people detonate a bomb in the territory of the Golden Lion and add another fire, understand?"

Bucky; “……”

What could he do?

I can only bite the bullet first and nod my head to deal with it.

……

On the other hand, there is one more thing that Klockdahl cares about.

He turned his head to look at Uta not far away.

"You're going too?"

"Hmm!"

Uta nodded vigorously and said seriously: "I promised everyone that you must become stronger!" ”

“……”

Klockdahl didn't want to argue with the little girl, so he turned to Lindsay to the side.

"Hey, primitives."

Klockdahl frowned, "Are you sure [Redhead] would feel comfortable letting his daughter come on an adventure?" ”

"It's useless for him to put it at ease."

Lindsay shrugged her shoulders and said, "Even if we don't let us, Uta will follow." ”

Klockdahl: "......"

Klockdahl: "That's right. ”

The daughter of the pirate, and the superhuman devil fruit ability, will always have her own thoughts, and she can't watch it.

I just don't know, if something happens to Uta, will [Redhead] anger the primitives?

Thinking of this, Klockdahl couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hehehehehehe......"

……

The opening of the Strong Conference is imminent.

Now that the plan is in place, the next step is disguise.

Whether it is [Demon] or [Sand Crocodile], or even [Son of the Devil], they are all well-known figures in the circle of the sea, and the target is too big, and they must hide their identities.

Thankfully, none of this was a hassle for Klockdahl.

What's so difficult about pretending to be a pirate?

The clothes were a little tattered, and a few muskets were attached.

If it's still not pirate style enough, wear sunglasses, a gold necklace, and a gemstone ring......

Completed!

After cleaning up, several people suddenly changed their appearance.

Even Uta changed into a pompous fur coat, wore a pirate captain's hat, two muskets stuck in his waist, wore round sunglasses, and wore rings on all ten fingers.

Uta looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Super handsome, it's like a concert!" ”

Klockdahl: "......"

Whatever, he didn't bother to bother with those troublesome things.

As early as the time of Eleguia, Klockdahl had learned that Uta's aesthetic taste was indeed online.

Therefore, with a little guidance from Klockdahl, Uta will be able to dress up as a serious "Underworld Pirate"!

After explaining the precautions, Klockdahl went to the side to rest, waiting for the opening of the Strong Conference in a few days.

……

Night.

After dinner, the phone bug in Uta's arms suddenly rang.

It was when they were separated, Shanks gave Uta a video call bug.

Bulu Bulu Bu Lu ......

Bulu Bulu Bu Lu ......

Click!

The phone bug was connected, and the faces of the red-haired pirates were visible on the screen.

After many days apart, they missed Uta very much, so they found time to make a phone call.

Shanks was especially excited.

He stepped forward directly and said excitedly: "Yo, Uta, how have you been-

At this point, there was a sudden pause.

Because Uta has changed into a "pirate style" outfit, which is extremely exaggerated, which is very different from the cute little girl before.

Shanks: "......"

"Hey, Shanks!"

Uta specially showed off his outfit and said excitedly: "Super handsome, right?" ”

Shanks: "......"

Uta continued, "The outfits that Mr. Klockdal helped to match, he taught me, saying that pirates should wear them like this! ”

Shanks: "......"

After a moment of silence, Shanks asked Uta to call Klockdahl.

Klocodahl: "? ”

He leaned over, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "[Redhead], what do you want me to do?" ”

Shanks didn't answer, but first made an excuse and broke up with Uta.

Then, all members of the Red-Haired Pirates approached and smiled kindly at Klockdal.

……

Shanks: "You taught Uta to dress like that?" ”

Klocodahl: "Yes. ”

Shanks: "You say this is the pirate style?" ”

Klocodahl: "Yes. ”

Shanks: "How dare you teach my daughter?" ”

Klockdahl: "Yes...... No, no, no! ”

When Shanks heard this, he smiled even more, and said quietly:

"I'll kill you~!"
