One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 162 Sand Crocodile and Moria

The Holy Land Marie Joa, the settlement of the world's nobles, is also the center of world power.

A place like this is always in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. On the surface, there is peace and harmony, but secretly, there are undercurrents, and I don't know how much power has been gathered.

Today, even the most elite navy and intelligence personnel seemed extremely nervous. This is because, for the first time in history, pirates have entered Mariejoia openly!

Under normal circumstances, pirates would have no chance of entering Mariejoia. Of course, through the scrutiny of the world government, there are not absolutely no lucky people who get involved. But those fish that slipped through the net, even when they came to the Holy Land, were cautious and kept their tails between their legs.

But the King's Shichibukai are different. They are nominally members of the World Government and are legal pirates. In addition, he was recruited by the Five Old Stars, so he could enter Mariejoia openly.

"Line up, stay calm, and never shoot first!" Watching the special bubble cable car gradually approaching, the Vice Admiral in charge of security for the Shichibukai Conference once again ordered the navy soldiers standing on both sides of the road.

Although the navy and the Shichibukai are theoretically cooperating, the problem is that the current three Shichibukai "Shadow King" Moonlight Moria, "Sand Crocodile" Crocodile, and "Tax Resistor" Profi Kedu is a famous pirate. These guys have always been lawless, and there is no telling what they will do in this holy land.

That's right, just as Profik was on his way from Fishman Island to Shampoo Land, and then from Shampoo Land to Mary Joa, he had another "colleague" - Moonlight Moria.

The experiences of Moria and Sand Crocodile are quite similar. They were also once high-spirited great pirates who broke into the new world smoothly and confidently challenged big figures like the "Four Emperors". But in the end, they all came back defeated and only escaped with their own lives. Then, they all became the Shichibukai, and they all hunkered down in the Grand Route. One plotted against Pluto, and the other instigated the zombie army. However, they ended up wasting their domineering power, and were eventually defeated by Luffy, the "Son of Destiny"...

These two unsatisfactory guys brought a lot of face to the Shichibukai. However, to put it bluntly, it seems that Lao Sha's style is a bit higher.

Of course, in the current world line, the things behind becoming the Shichibukai have not yet happened.

Originally, Moria's staff was quite hesitant about the invitation from the World Government's "Shichibukai", but when he saw that Profic and Crocodile accepted the invitation one after another, he refused to do anything about it, and his heart was broken. , also joined the ranks of Qiwuhai.

As the Bubble Cable Car docked at the edge of the Red Continent, the three kings "filed out" of the Shichibukai.

The tall, muscular man with onion-like hair, wearing Gothic dark-style clothing, and exaggeratedly laughing took the lead, taking the lead in setting foot on Mariejoia's land with an unruly spirit. Paired with fangs, claws, sharp horns and somewhat ferocious eyes, it gives him a rather majestic look!

The "King of Shadows" Moonlight Moria has an original bounty of 320 million Berry!

Although he had experienced a disastrous defeat at this time, he had not completely degenerated into the fat man he would be more than ten years later, and he still looked capable and fierce.

"Hehehehe!" Moria looked at the streets of Marigio without anyone else, laughing unbridled in a unique voice, "This is the 'Holy Land'!"

Immediately afterwards, two people stepped off the second bubble cable car one after another.

The man in front had a cigar in his mouth, a sloping back, and a black fur coat. His face was expressionless, and there was a ferocious scar on his face, but the left sleeve of his clothes was empty. The place where he walked seemed to be filled with yellow sand. Although he was not as arrogant as Moria, he was calm and powerful, quite like a gang leader!

"Sand Crocodile" Crocodile with an original bounty of 80 million Berry!

The hero seemed a little impatient at this time. He looked at the young man in plain clothes who hurriedly walked to his side: "You guy..."

On the way here, the other party kept wanting to talk to him. The sand crocodile swore that if he hadn't started collecting a box of expensive cigars from the other party, he would have sucked this ignorant boy to death!

The person walking next to Crocodile was naturally Profic. Unlike Moria and Crocodile, Profic's dress was quite ordinary, and it could be said that he was no different from a civilian. And he didn't show his momentum like the two of them did. Instead, he looked very relaxed, as if he was on an outing.

"Brother Sha, what are you talking about?" Profic talked to Crocodile as if chatting with an old friend. "In the future, you and I will be 'subjects of the same court'. We need to support each other and get closer!"

Although the plan to seize Pluto failed completely, Lao Sha himself eventually became a laughing stock. But Profik still admires his ability. If possible, we should try our best to win such a person. Therefore, Profic specially prepared the best cigars from Fishman Island and Shampoo Islands as a gift for him.

Ordinarily, Profic should have prepared a gift for Moria, otherwise it would be suspected of favoring one over the other. However, it was only after he got on the ship to Mariejoia that he learned that Moria had also accepted the World Government's invitation and was almost arriving at Mariejoia.

"Keep doing these glib tricks, or I'll suck you dry!" Sand Crocodile warned fiercely. Profic's "enthusiasm" made him very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than facing the white-bearded Naginata.

Crocodile is an absolute "strengthist". In his view, the only meaningful thing in the world is to become stronger by any means necessary. The strong should be aloof, the strong should be domineering, and the strong should decide everything. As for the weak, they are not worthy of controlling their own destiny. They should hide in the corner and tremble and accept the arrangements of the strong.

Precisely because of this, what Sand Crocodile resented most was not his defeat to Whitebeard - that one-sided killing fully reflected the gap between him and Whitebeard. Instead, Whitebeard actually wanted to take him, the defeated person, as his "son."

This made him feel a great insult, not only an insult to his personality, but also an insult to the "strong" group. Therefore, he unceremoniously rejected Whitebeard's invitation and prepared to accept the fate of death calmly. But Whitebeard let him go.

The sand crocodile cannot understand:

Why can a guy who is so weak and treats pirates as his own house have such great strength? Why would a guy with such great strength be obsessed with such useless things as "son" and "family affection"?

And the kid next to him named "Profic" seemed to be exuding a similar disgusting aura!

As for the nonsense about "being ministers of the same dynasty", Sand Crocodile didn't take it seriously at all. If it weren't for the plot of the legendary ancient weapon "Pluto" to win the throne of Pirate King in one fell swoop, Sand Crocodile would never have succumbed to the position of King Shichibukai.

Maybe he has stayed in the position of Shichibukai for a long time, but Shichibukai has always been just a springboard for him to go further!

If things continued like this, Profic would definitely continue to look for opportunities to get close to the Sand Crocodile, but at this moment, two figures appeared on the road ahead.
