There will always be opportunities.

- Crocodall thought.

This is not?

It's coming now.

……

With the help of Nicole Robin's fruit ability, everyone successfully obtained information from Bell.

In the royal capital of Arubana, Anilu spent more than a month amassing a terrifying power that could destroy the whole of Alabastan!

This information is crucial.

Because when combined with this, the existence of Anilu becomes extremely tricky.

Fighting a war of attrition?

The power of the Thunderball is unimaginable to ordinary people, enough to support Anilu to fight with all his strength for a long time.

Kill him in one go?

Then the thunderball will then get out of control, and it will probably destroy the whole of Alabastan!

In addition to his already weak strength, Anilu is like a time bomb hanging over Alabastan.

“……”

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Klockdahl stepped out of the tent and was out smoking a cigarette to rest, when he suddenly received an invitation from Spandain.

A government agent sneaks in and points the way to Klockdahl.

……

After the dunes.

Klockdahl looked around, pinpointing one government agent after another, but he couldn't lock down each one.

There are a lot of people, and they are all masters......

Klockdahl narrowed his eyes and looked at the despicable man in front of him.

"Hehehehe, let's talk about it first, I don't plan to form an alliance with the Golden Lion."

He is well aware of these "rules" of world government.

The so-called "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty" are all pirates with legal plundering rights, and they can also recruit subordinates at will.

However, if you want to form an alliance with other pirates, then you can be regarded as automatically giving up the rights and interests of the Seven Martial Seas of Your Majesty and becoming a wanted criminal again.

For now, of course, Klokdal still needs the identity of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas.

So he spoke up early to avoid Spandaine playing tricks on him.

Hearing this, Spandain's eyes moved slightly, and then he waved his hand again and again:

"Eh, what are you talking about?"

"[Sand Crocodile] brother, I trust you very much!"

Spandyne let out a sinister smile, realizing that the guy in front of him was not so easy to deal with.

He wanted to threaten him with "betrayal of the world government", but this is not feasible for now.

Seeing this, then we can only "move to profit".

"So, let's re-introduce myself."

"Spandane – CP0's current acting deputy commander."

Spandain nodded slightly, and said slowly:

"I've heard for a long time that [Sand Crocodiles] are stationed in Alabastan all year round, and I didn't see anyone here, so I thought the information was wrong."

Klockdahl: "......"

He didn't say anything, just said casually: "Something, go out of the house." ”

"Understand, understand."

Spandain nodded his head again and again, not asking any more questions.

As for whether he really didn't know about Eleguia's affairs, or pretended not to know in order to win over Klockdahl, it is still unknown.

"Since you're here, Sand Crocodile, it means you know something about the situation in Alabastan, right?"

Spandain grinned and whispered:

"So, I want to work with you."

"Oh?"

Klockdahl raised an eyebrow, took a puff on his cigar, and motioned for Spandain to continue.

Spandyne stretched out his hand and gestured:

"This operation of the world government involves both CP0 and CP9, in order to completely kill the [Golden Lion] and arrest him."

"To this end, we used the intelligence network to guide the [God of the Sky Island] Anilu to the route of the Golden Lion, causing a conflict between the two sides."

"When both sides lose, we can take the opportunity to close the net and arrest both at the same time!"

Speaking of which, Spandain paused and continued:

"But what went wrong was the location."

"The location of the conflict between the [Golden Lion] and the [God of the Sky Island] was different from our expectations, and finally broke out in Alabastan."

"Although we have successfully concealed this news from the outside world, but at this point, there will be some troubles in the future."

Spandain, rubbing his chin, looked at Klocoidl and raised an eyebrow.

"You know, right?"

"Hehe, understood."

Knokdahl already understood, and muttered:

"After all, Alabastan is a member country, and if you come forward directly, it will be tantamount to confirming that the world government is behind this incident."

"The world government won't want to take this on the line, so you're probably going to be pushed out to block the gun."

"You don't want to."

"So, you need someone on the bright side to help you put an end to this big event."

“……”

With that, Spandain's expression froze.

It's easy to communicate with smart people.

But if that smart person is too smart, "easy" will turn into "pressure".

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games!

And so—

"Hey, sand crocodile dude."

Spandyne was about to get straight to the point, and said in a deep voice:

"I just noticed your existence, so I contacted you immediately, and I was very sincere."

"The decision is yours now."

"Do you want to become a legendary-level Seven Martial Seas and defeat the [Golden Lion], the [God of the Sky Island], several pirates, and ...... at the same time?"

Spandyne paused, and spat out the name:

"[Demon]?"

Really!

Klockdahl had expected it, so he wasn't too surprised.

The World Government had the intelligence to speculate that Evan Lindsey might be acting with him.

But perhaps considering Evan Lindsay's strength, or not being sure of Evan Lindsay's relationship with himself, he didn't put it on the surface!

"I'm giving you this chance, man!"

Spendain grinned and said, "With CP9 and CP0 as your backing, you are fully capable of becoming a legendary-level Seven Martial Seas who defeated the three masters at the same time!" ”

"How?"

“……”

Listening to Spandain's words, Klockdahl did not give a clear answer.

Just put the cigar in his mouth and said quietly:

"I only do what I can win."

“……”

"Hahahaha, on this sea, can there be anyone who has won the world government!"

When Spandyne heard this, he thought that Klockdahl had agreed, and couldn't help but feel good.

He put his arm around Klocodahl's shoulders and laughed.

Spandain, "Hahahaha! ”

Klockdahl was also laughing, "Hehehehehe......"

Evan Lindsey was also laughing, "Ahahahahahaha! ”

Spandane: "Hahaha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Spandain: "? ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Evan Lindsay, who had taken off his hood, put his arm around his other shoulder, and laughed loudly.

Spandane: "?! ”

A terrifying feeling came over me.

His people are on strict alert everywhere around, how did the [Demon] suddenly appear?!

That's the madman who has already killed two Draconians!

Spandain's face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled unconsciously, and he was about to say something.

"Shh

Klockdahl suddenly spoke, interrupting Spandain.

"Don't make any rhetoric, and don't bluff."

"Because everything you show, good or bad, is a weakness for the [Demon]."

“……”

Spandyne tried to shut up, but the words were already on his lips, so he could only make one sound.

"I-

Bang!

In the next moment, Lindsay's fist was already smashed into Spandyne's face.

He flew upside down and slammed into the sand dunes behind him.

The blow was small, but it was enough to kill Spandain.

But a wave of grit suddenly appeared, dissolving some of Lindsay's power.

The already non-lethal power became even smaller, leaving Spandain with a big breath of air, even though his face was crooked.

"It's all said, don't speak."

Glancing at the badly injured Spandyne, Klockdahl explained to Lindsay:

"He can't die yet."

"Once the leader is dead, government agents throughout Alabastan will start rioting."

"At that time, the world government will inevitably follow up, and it will cause us a lot of trouble."

“……”

This explanation was an obvious excuse, but it still convinced Lindsay.

Rather than letting Spandain out of the field and forcing the World Government to send a smarter character, it would be better to keep this idiot for the time being.

What's more, before Lindsay's action, Nicole Robin had already said hello in advance.

"I'm going to take it all into my own hands."

- said the girl who calmed her mood.

So, Lindsay just took out the phone bug, took a commemorative photo of Robin, and then waved away, completely ignoring the murderous government agents around him.

No one else!

"See you later, then."

Klockdahl similarly turned away, waving his hand at Spandain.

To the latter's proposal, Klockdahl did not agree, but did not object, but only repeated the intriguing sentence at the end-

"I only do what I can win."

“……”

……

The two left.

After a short time, the amplified shells on the floating island were activated, and the wild laughter of the golden lion resounded through the central desert.

"Haha!"
