The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue - Chapter 666
“Conditions? What conditions?”
Seeing that things were finally progressing a little, Crocodile also had a little patience, and his face was no longer so ugly, but sat up a little and looked at Crocodile.
Katakuri was also a little curious. He didn’t think Mihawk would be the kind of person who would be fooled by others with two or three words. If he wanted to fool Mihawk, either one sentence or more would be useless.
The words of Crocodile just now obviously did not impress Mihawk, or in other words, Crocodile’s proposal did not impress any of them.
Enemy against the world government? Who dares to shout a few words when they go out to sea? But shouting is one thing, but actually doing it is another.
Katakuri has his concerns. After all, he takes care of his family, dozens of younger siblings, and his family are all on his shoulders, and he is not too anxious.
After the Qiwuhai system under the king was abolished and the identity of Qiwuhai was banned, he, Katakuri, was still the emperor of the New World, sitting on all countries and controlling the navigation gates of the New World.
At most, he has no privileges, so he can’t take the initiative to do business. However, with his current contacts with the major forces, what can he get? Or put their name on the business, as long as they do it cleanly, the Navy will not be able to check them all.
As for whether the navy will attack the nations? Unless the navy wants to go back and be a dog to the world government, it can’t really kill Totland.
Moreover, even if the navy can’t think of it, if it wants to go back to be a dog for the World Government, it depends on whether the World Government wants it or not.
Therefore, Totland’s self-protection, Katakuri is not worried at all, there is no need to follow Crocodile to do these crazy things.
Although he had already had a cooperation agreement with the Revolutionary Army, but… that agreement was not written down word by word, everything was verbal, and even if the world government suspected it, it would not take a lot of trouble.
But it’s different with Crocodile. Crocodile is planning to “copycat” a world government to fight against the world government.
And if things really develop as Crocodile said, the moment they form an alliance in the Qiwuhai and have actual contact with the Revolutionary Army, I am afraid that all the free CPs will flock to the forces of the Cross Guild.
How annoying is that, not to mention that the World Government, after seeing the forces of the Revolutionary Army develop again, may at any time launch a deadly attack.
Katakuri is not afraid of the navy or CP, but he still has some scruples about some things hidden in the world government.
As for the others… Bucky is not the kind of person who stands on the righteous side and does big things. Cavendish is just an ignorant and disinterested young man.
In a sense, Cavendish represents what the revolutionary army wants to overthrow the old era. After all, he is the prince of the Bourgeois kingdom.
But not every royal family and aristocrat of the participating countries are people like Sabo.
And what about Mihawk? He has no worries about dragging his family around, joining the surrounding forces of the Revolutionary Army or even directly joining the Revolutionary Army has no concerns for him, but equally, he has no need to join the Revolutionary Army.
With his strength, he is not afraid of being wanted by the world government at all. With one person, one sword and one coffin, he can survive wherever he goes, and he has no home.
After all, Kraigana Island isn’t Mihawk’s home either, but a certain post-war ruins he found. To put it bluntly, it’s a place to stay, and there’s no psychological burden on him at all.
So Mihawk’s indifference and indifference that Mihawk had shown before was natural and taken for granted in Katakuri’s view.
His strength, experience and character gave Mihawk no reason to cooperate with Crocodile and the Revolutionary Army.
However, the sudden change of attitude at this time made Katakuri a little puzzled, because it was unreasonable to think about it.
Bucky and Cavendish finally reacted at this time, and both looked at Mihawk with curiosity. When Bucky founded Bucky Express, he sent invitations to many people.
Mihawk is also on his recruiting list. After all, Mihawk is the world’s largest swordsman, so no matter which force he joins, he will become a living sign of that force.
If Bucky Express has Mihawk’s home, then even if Mihawk is not needed, it will be extremely easy to open up the high-end market, but in the face of Bucky’s invitation… Mihawk didn’t even respond.
Mihawk doesn’t do a business that takes money for nothing. Bucky really doesn’t think he will join some **** cross guild. Bucky feels that all the clowns in the world gather together, and there is no Crocodile. The proposal is funny.
But Mihawk changed his tune, which made Bucky have to wonder what the conditions were to invite Mihawk. Maybe he could steal the teacher and let Mihawk also depend on his Bucky. courier.
And Mihawk, who heard Crocodile’s rhetorical question, touched his chin and the beard of both jaws, and said, “Forgot to say, the conditions for my participation have nothing to do with you.”
“…”
Crocodile’s complexion, which had finally recovered, suddenly collapsed. This is not her condition, why say it? Also, the Cross Guild was prepared by her, so can there be anything that has nothing to do with her? !
Crocodile was choked a lot by Mihawk, and the corners of the other people’s eyes twitched. They were all waiting for Mihawk’s answer with a curious expression, but Mihawk didn’t say anything after he had enough of his appetite.
Katakuri, the host, looked at the awkward atmosphere around him and said to Crocodile, “Tell me about your plan.
You can’t come to me, just to tell everyone to form a force, right? Business plan… Well, can you tell us about the organization you’re going to create? ”
Over the years, I have talked a lot with people about cooperation and cooperation, and Katakuri almost became bald, but although it has been adjusted later, it still looks like a venture capitalist.
Crocodile frowned, a little disgusted by Katakuri’s high-spirited attitude, but at this time he could only bear it for the time being, and finally said:
“I know that you all feel that you have the ability to protect yourself and even continue to develop even after the world government abolishes the Qiwuhai system under the king.
But have you ever thought about a question, even if you have the power to protect yourself and the ability to continue to develop your own power, but… why are we subject to the world government?
Once there is no world government in this world, the shackles that will be placed on you after the abolition of the Shichibukai system will cease to exist.
Bucky, you have now founded Bucky Express and made a lot of war money, but you also know that it is not a long-term business. Once the revolutionary army sweeps the world, you will lose the market.
So you will also develop a real logistics industry, and even now… You seem to have started a news studio with my money? ”
As Crocodile spoke, she couldn’t help but think that Bucky would not repay the money, but would instead develop new forces, which made her teeth itch with anger, and her tone gradually became colder.
Bucky shook his head again and again in fright, and said, “That…you know, war fortunes are not easy to make, this university…if I don’t develop a new business, I can only slowly use up the money you gave me. .”
“Humph!” Crocodile snorted, not bothering, but continued: “Don’t say so much, just think about it, once the world government is overthrown and the revolutionary army becomes the new government, then…
The new government needs a mouthpiece, just like the World Economic News. At the same time, under the trend of future intelligence, information, and resource transfer, your logistics company is also a necessity for the new government.
Think about it, if you invest in shares at this time and gain the trust of the revolutionary army in advance, how much can you profit from it after the revolutionary army succeeds? Of course, you still have to pay my money back. ”
Bucky’s eyes gradually showed a frenzy. All he had been thinking was to report from other fields, to seize the fields that World Economic News did not cover, but…
Why bother? Just as Crocodile said, directly replace the World Economic News, and let your own newspaper become the mainstream of this sea. At that time, even if you lie down, you will have a steady stream of money, right?
The idea got him so excited that he forgot about Crocodile reminding him to pay back the money.
What did he owe Crocodile compared to the profit in that market? Just a hair on Jiu Niu’s body, Bucky patted the table and said, “Do it! Put the mouthpiece of the revolutionary army on!
I have attracted countless talents, planning, creativity, publicity, marketing, printing, ground promotion, customer acquisition, and transformation! Absolutely spread all the feats of the Crusaders and the Revolutionary Army to everyone in the sea! ”
Hearing this, Crocodile complained, “Are you a news studio? Or an advertising company?”
“My uncle founded Bucky News Studio to build a one-stop, full-format, wide-radiation cultural and publicity center in six sea areas. What this uncle wants to build is a unicorn!
The propaganda that the World Economic News can do, this uncle can do too! The propaganda that the birdman of Morgans can’t do, the uncle can do the same! ”
Bucky said very arrogantly, but did not find that several other people rolled their eyes almost at the same time, this guy is helpless, this can no longer be tempted by a little profit.
Instead, Crocodile drew a flat cake, Bucky jumped on it and ate it, and that’s it…return to the boss?
After drawing the cake for Bucky, Crocodile looked at Cavendish again. The reason why he didn’t impress Katakuri first was because it was the most difficult to persuade Katakuri.
Therefore, Crocodile chose to sort from low to high difficulty, flicked Bucky who was the best flicker, and then persuaded Cavendish.
In addition to Mihawk who has already agreed, she has already completed 75% of the persuasion work. With the opinions of the “majority”, it will not be too difficult to persuade Katakuri.
And Cavendish, who was stared at by Crocodile, showed an elegant smile at this time, a smile with a sense of alienation.
He didn’t think Crocodile could convince him. After all, he was almost in a state of wanting nothing now. After so many years of “cultivation” in Totland, he had no pursuit other than kendo.
The fame and popularity he pursued when he was young has now settled down. Although he can still be regarded as a young man now, his realm is different.
Looking at Cavendish, Crocodile was also thinking about countermeasures, and then he said, “Be it the Kingdom of Bourgeois or the Kingdom of Rommel, now the revolutionary army wants to revolutionize and liberate the place.”
The calm Cavendish frowned when he heard Crocodile’s words, his smile disappeared, looked at Crocodile, and asked coldly, “Are you threatening me?”
Cavendish is the prince of the Bourgeois Kingdom. Now the king of the Bourgeois Kingdom is his father. He was born in the Bourgeois Kingdom since he was a child. When he was young, he was exiled to the Rommel Kingdom because of his good looks.
In the kingdom of Rommel, Cavendish began to grow himself. Later, because of his second personality, he committed a crime in the kingdom of Rommel and had to leave to become a pirate.
But these two kingdoms are extremely important to Cavendish. If Crocodile really used these two kingdoms as a threat, Cavendish might really choose to commit himself.
The toughness he showed at this time was actually just a stern look. Of course, after he committed himself, it was hard to say what he would do to harm the interests of the Cross Guild and the Revolutionary Army.
However, Crocodile shook his head and said, “No, I’m just giving you a chance for redemption. Join the Cross Guild, then the Kingdom of Bourgeois and the Kingdom of Rommel can have the opportunity to reform themselves.
Your relatives and old friends can all survive, you just need to reform according to what the revolutionary army wants.
Cavendish, you probably haven’t forgotten the trouble your existence has caused these two kingdoms? Or, the years of seclusion made you want to avoid even these? ”
Cavendish pursed his lips tightly. He was indeed ashamed of these two kingdoms. He mentally hurt the Bourgeois Kingdom and the Rommel Kingdom physically.
Especially the latter, he was… but he really hurt a lot of people in the Rommel Kingdom. He wanted to repay these two kingdoms in the past, such as…
After he really succeeded in kendo, he returned to the Kingdom of Bourgeois or the Kingdom of Rommel and acted as a guardian like Ryoma, the Dragon Slayer of the Wano Kingdom.
Katakuri looked at this “Carmen” brother and said, “The premise is that the revolutionary army succeeds, right?”
In a word, it made Cavendish sober. Whether Crocodile said it was a threat or gave Cavendish a chance for redemption, it was all based on the premise of the success of the revolutionary army.
If the Revolutionary Army fails to succeed, then not only Cavendish’s troubles, but even the cake that Bucky swallowed like a jujube just now is just a moon in the mirror.
Katakuri saw that Cavendish had escaped Crocodile’s trap, so he turned his attention, looked at Crocodile, and said, “I’m curious, when did you become a salesman for the Revolutionary Army.”
Hearing this, Crocodile lowered his eyes, and then said calmly, “Because that’s the only place I can stay.”
“Is that so? I thought it was stipulated that you can only join the revolutionary army.”
Katakuri is not bothered either. In fact, he has his own answer in his heart. That is what he said. Crocodile’s joining the Revolutionary Army is definitely not her own idea.
Drago is an orator who is very good at attracting people, but so is Crocodile. At the same time, Crocodile also has his own ambitions. How could he choose to join the Revolutionary Army without external factors?
At this time, Crocodile showed a somewhat awkward smile and said, “Join the Revolutionary Army? Don’t be kidding, I’m not the Revolutionary Army.”
“Oh?”
Katakuri and Mihawk both showed some unexpected expressions. Crocodile worked so hard to win the alliance for the revolutionary army, but she herself was not even a member of the revolutionary army…
But the accident was only a moment. Katakuri and Mihawk exchanged glances. The two, who didn’t interact much, understood each other’s meaning. Mihawk also showed a strange smile and said:
“Now I understand why you want to create a cross guild for the revolutionary army.”
Mihawk’s words are very awkward. Crocodile is not even a revolutionary army. He should not create any guild for the revolutionary army. The possibility of creating it for himself is even higher.
But… Crocodile didn’t refute, she remembered the last conversation with Drago, and Drago didn’t even want her to join the Revolutionary Army, but… cooperated.
Crocodile could not accept this result. Therefore, she must become an inseparable person from the Revolutionary Army, such as becoming a member of the Cross Guild, on an equal footing with the Revolutionary Army and closely related.
So, in a sense, she is indeed the Crusade Guild that she founded for the revolutionary army, in order to have a high enough position in the revolutionary army.
Crocodile raised her head again, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face. The interruption of Katakuri and Mihawk allowed her to persuade Cavendish’s work progress to zero in an instant.
And Cavendish’s resistance at this time is obviously deepening, and it is much more difficult to convince him than just now.
Facing Crocodile’s resentful gaze, Katakuri closed his eyes directly, making it impossible to see.
Although Cavendish is not a member of the Charlotte family, he has been living in Totland for the past few years. Katakuri has regarded him as a little brother. Although he beat this little brother more than once, but… Forget the outsider, Crocodile.
But Katakuri was left alone, and Crocodile was in a hurry. After all, although Cavendish hasn’t really reached the point where he has no desires, he has only a few weaknesses.
The most certain point right now was directly rejected by Katakuri, and the rest… Crocodile was not sure whether he could convince Cavendish.
“Cough cough~”
At this moment, Mihawk suddenly cleared his throat, and just when several people thought he had something to say, he resumed his silence, repeating that he just got stuck.
But Crocodile’s eyes lit up, and then said to Cavendish: “Cavendish, Mihawk has agreed to join the Cross Guild, and you want to give up chasing him?”
“This…”
Cavendish hesitated. After all, following his idol and accomplishing such a business as overthrowing the world government with his idol sounds like a manly romance.
However, what Mihawk said about joining the Cross Guild is also conditional, and this condition has not yet been determined, and it has not even been revealed at all.
Katakuri opened his eyes and glanced at this little brother in his own family with some anger. It was really a young man who couldn’t resist the temptation, and he wanted to jump into the pit when others talked casually.
So, Katakuri was ready to interrupt Crocodile’s flickering again and said, “If you continue to say this, I don’t think there is any need to continue this cooperation.
What I want to know is, what exactly is the Cross Guild that you want to establish, what is its goal, what is its foothold, what is its future plan, and at the same time, how do you plan to establish a Cross Guild. ”
Crocodile looked at Katakuri and said, “Did you have a business cooperation?”
“I’m a businessman.”
Katakuri, the dignified ruler of the new world and the lord of Totland, said: “And when you came, you said that you are here to do business.
From the standpoint of a businessman, I need to see the highlights and prospects of your project, as well as the risks and rewards of my investment. If there is no such thing, or if you are not even prepared for these…
Then I think you are here to entertain me. ”
Seeing that Katakuri seized her first words to prevaricate herself, Crocodile pursed her lips. She was not angry. After all, compared to Mihawk’s confusion, Bucky’s recklessness, and Katakuri’s attitude , is the attitude of normal cooperation.
However, the questions raised by Katakuri really stumped Crocodile, although she has also operated a casino for more than ten years, and has also dabbled in other industries.
However, the way she does business is to use her influence and then invest and build within her own controllable range, so she is not proficient in the professions required for business.
After thinking for a while, Crocodile smiled and said, “I will sum up the questions you raised in one word, and that is… shit!”
As soon as these words came out, both Cavendish and Bucky stepped back tactically, looking like they were watching a good show, and Katakuri also narrowed his eyes, ready to go.
Crocodile ignored Katakuri’s unsettling weather, and said directly: “I have never seen a pirate who would act like you.
The world government is going to ride on your head and take action against you and your family, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, you are still talking about profit and loss here, Katakuri, wake up, you are a pirate!
Do you want to bring your own family to fight against the world government to seek life, or do you want to take the horse riding with me and turn the world government on the horse to the horse? ! ”
After Crocodile vented, Katakuri’s eyes were opened, and the momentum that was about to erupt on his body also calmed down at this time. Looking at Crocodile, he said:
“Then why did you tell me this in a business tone?”
“Because I am a civilized person who rides a horse!”
Crocodile leaned back on the seat, his legs rested directly on the dining table, the golden hook in his left hand hooked out a box of cigars, he skillfully opened the cigar box with his right hand, put a cigar in his mouth, and then put the cigar in his mouth. The cigar head is bitten off.
Putting the humidor back, he took out a box of matches, lit the cigar, began to puff, and took off the cigar. Crocodile pointed at Katakuri with his right hand holding the cigar, and asked:
“I’ll ask you now, do you want to join me in the world government that rides the horse?”
Hearing this, Katakuri looked around and saw that there was no younger sister around, and the closest one was with the Straw Hats, so Katakuri laughed and said:
“Hahaha~ I thought you could pretend for longer.”
“So what’s the answer?”
“If the world government really wants to do something to me and my family, then… it’s going to be rough.”
