Moria exclaimed in surprise. He never thought that this melon would eventually fall on Crocodile. You know, Crocodile is the one with the best reputation among them!

Crocodile's reputation is not even comparable to that of Haku. After all, Haku's identity as a fishman determines that he will be criticized by certain two groups and suffer abuse.

But Crocodile is different. He is a human and has never interfered in the affairs of other races, so other races will not scold him.

Among humans, Crocodile is considered the most "people-friendly" existence among them. Not only the people of Alabasta, but also the people of other kingdoms hope that the place where they live has such a thing.

A "hero".

Moreover, Crocodile has been in Alabasta for more than ten years. In the past ten years, there has never been any negative news. Humans are not gods, how can they do bad things so seamlessly?

Crocodile's face couldn't hold back for a moment, and various emotions continued to circulate on his face. Finally, he asked with a fierce look: "Skyler! What do you mean?!"

However, in Skyler's eyes, his ferocious look was nothing more than fierceness and anger. Skyler was not affected at all, but said in a relaxed tone:

"Everyone, listen to this story. A genius has been going to sea since he was a child. When he was less than twenty years old, he was able to fight a famous pirate at that time.

For a time, he became famous and even received an invitation from the World Government. However, he did not take a fancy to this invitation and continued his voyage, wanting to see the highest scenery.

After a long journey, he challenged the strongest person in the world. As a result, he lost miserably and even lost everything. At the same time, he truly saw the danger hidden behind the beauty of the heights.

So he retreated, not only out of the sea area he had sailed to, but even further back."

As Skyler said, Crocodile's face became more and more gloomy. Like him, there was Moria, but compared to Crocodile, Moria's face was a little shy.

If he hadn't known that Skyler was now telling the story of Crocodile's voyage, Moriah would have felt that Skyler was deliberately mocking him by telling the story of his failure.

Skyler did not notice Moria's reaction, but looked at Crocodile and continued: "What will a person who has lost everything, even his courage, do?

He no longer believed in his own strength and wanted to look for external things to make him stronger, so he wandered around looking for things that might make him stronger."

Crocodile's face became more and more gloomy, and Moriah's face became redder and redder. It felt like he was talking about him!!!

Moriah suddenly thought, is there a possibility that Skyler was actually criticizing Sang and Huai? It seemed that he was mocking Crocodile, but in fact, he was also mocking him, Moriah?!

But Moria was a transparent figure in the Shichibukai, and he was also a transparent figure at this time. Skyler didn't even notice him, but smiled and said:

"After a long and aimless voyage, he finally found what he was looking for, such as... ancient weapons!"

As soon as these words came out, Katakuri, Mihawk, and Xiong frowned, Hancock and Haku were a little confused, but Moria breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally sure that he was not blaming him.

Crocodile pursed his lips and said nothing, but Skyler did not stop talking.

"He came to the kingdom with clues about ancient weapons and settled there. In order to live in that place for a longer period of time, he did not hesitate to hide his true nature.

He began to do good deeds, be a good person, and even became a hero among many people.

Finally, maybe he found clues to the ancient weapons, maybe he was impatient, or maybe he had a better plan, so... he attacked the kingdom where he had been stationed for more than ten years.

He caused droughts and floods, and displaced countless people, but he still enjoyed the dividends of being a hero.

Even when everyone points their finger at the royal family of the kingdom, he can hide behind everyone and watch the knife pierce into the heart of the royal family. If no one stops him, he can get what he wants.

.

Does this story sound familiar to you? Crocodile?"

Crocodile stared at Skyler closely, and was so angry that his nose began to twitch extremely quickly, and his breathing gradually became heavier. After a while, he took a deep breath, and then said:

"The story is very good. If you don't want to be a navy, you can become a wandering poet. But, what do you say have anything to do with me?"

Crocodile was confident that his deeds had not been exposed. After all, he had never personally done anything to harm Alabasta, and those who actually carried out these actions did not even know that they were employed by him.

Therefore, Crocodile can be sure that even if Skyler or the Navy has suspected him, they do not have any evidence to show that he has really harmed Alabasta.

And if there is no evidence that he harmed Alabasta, a country that is a member of the World Government, it means... he did not attack the World Government. Naturally, the World Government cannot deprive him of the title of Shichibukai.

Skyler looked at Crocodile's confident look and knew that he had probably insisted that the Navy had no evidence to prove it. However, Skyler was not in a hurry and said very relaxedly:

"Krokdal, as a pirate, you should know better than me what betrayal is, right? I heard that betrayal is a required course for you pirates."

"betray?!"

An image of a person instantly appeared in Crocodile's eyes. In the entire Baroque Studio, not many people knew his identity, only the vice president and a few senior spies.

Therefore, the person who betrayed him could only be one of these people, and Crocodile's first and only suspect was Nicole Robin, the vice president of Baroque Studio.

After all, starting from the year when Robin was wanted, betrayal to her was like eating and drinking. It was simple, necessary, and normalized. Either others betrayed her, or she betrayed others.

Before joining Baroque, Robin ended up betraying the last pirate group.

Therefore, in Crocodile's opinion, if someone betrayed him in Baroque Studio, then that person would be Nicole Robin.

"I don't know what you are talking about. How dare you believe the words of a wanted criminal?"

Crocodile thought and defended subconsciously, but the moment he said the words, he regretted it. His excessive nervousness made him confused even in his thinking.

Skyler did not mention who the betrayer was at all, but he said it casually. This was undoubtedly the result of writing "There is no three hundred taels of silver here" on the spot after burying the treasure.

In an instant, cold sweat appeared on Crocodile's forehead. Skyler's smile did not change and he asked: "Who are you talking about? The wanted criminal?"

Crocodile's defense can actually end here. Both the other six Shichibukai and McKinsey, an official of the world government, can see clearly.

Crocodile has indeed done something to harm the World Government's participating countries and endanger the World Government. This sentence is enough to expel Crocodile from the King's Shichibukai.

As for the evidence? Who here will care about these small things? As long as it is confirmed, won't it be enough?

It is not only the other six Shichibukai who think this way, but also McKinsey. He also thinks the same way. After all, he works for the Tianlong people. When the Tianlong people punish people, do they need evidence?

After working together for a long time, McKinsey was inevitably infected by this kind of thinking. Therefore, in McKinsey's mind, Crocodile was already a sinner, and he even started thinking about how to write a report.

Crocodile's expression turned extremely ugly, and he had no intention of continuing to defend himself. He just stared at Skyler closely.

In fact, he knew, or at least had a guess, that Skyler had always known what he was doing, and it was not just recently.

After all, Skyler warned Princess Vivi, who was missing in Alabasta a long time ago, when she was just born, but Crocodile himself didn't listen at the time.

And for more than ten years, Skyler has never used this reason to attack him. Instead, Skyler has constantly made things difficult for him on some small things, which made Crocodile himself forget about this matter.

However, looking back now, Skyler actually knew about it a long time ago, knew that he would attack Alabasta, and even...

Crocodile suddenly thought of the sudden visit of Aokiji and the Akainu detachment. At that time, he really started to implement his plan. Before, he was just lurking.

However, when the plan was only one year old, the navy, which had never interfered in the affairs of the participating countries, suddenly intervened in the drought incident in Alabasta and helped Alabasta solve the drought problem.

Maybe Skyler had already targeted him at that time? But he didn't know it yet, and he was even troubled by the interruption of his plan.

At that time, Nicole Robin gave him a backup plan, a backup plan that seemed to have no problems.

In a sense, the replacement plan proposed by Robin is actually more perfect than the original plan. After all, drought will kill people, and even those who survive will have their physical functions decline.

In that case, it was difficult to even raise the hoe in his hand, let alone spontaneously resist the Alabasta royal family.

But floods are different. Floods will only cause those civilians to continuously lose their property. Whenever they produce something, floods will take away their harvest. This kind of anger will not be less than that of drought.

And... because the number of deaths is small, more people will gather to resist and the force will be stronger. It seems that it will be easier to defeat the Alabasta royal family.

But... why do you want so many people to survive? Crocodile is a pirate, and he doesn't care about civilian casualties. Although Robin is young, he has seen a lot of blood and death.

But Robin just let him take action to save the lives of those civilians. Crocodile had a guess, that is... In fact, the plan against him had already started before the drought started.

Even...Nicole Robin had already been connected with the Navy before joining. Perhaps...he was just a bargaining chip in the deal between Robin and the Navy.

Maybe Robin promised to bring down this scourge, and accordingly, the Navy would let Robin get what she wanted, such as... canceling the wanted order? Gu Ruo

Unknowingly, Crocodile's thinking had already moved towards the idea that "Robin is the betrayer". Apart from Robin, he could not think of another person who might betray him.

Seeing that Crocodile remained silent, Skyler's smile gradually faded away, and his cold face showed the despair-inducing chill in autumn and winter.

"Krokdal, I said that if you insist on doing this and even commit a crime, I will send you to Impel Down. But...it's a pity that I can't personally send you to Impel Down."

Skyler suddenly spoke, and Crocodile gave an ugly smile and said: "Why, don't you dare to attack me? Isn't that right? You are a genius who killed Whitebeard with a sword at the age of fifteen and defeated Whitebeard at the age of nineteen.

!

How come now, you don’t even have the courage to fight me anymore?!”

As he spoke, Crocodile's tone became a little hysterical, but upon hearing his words, Mihawk, Katakuri, and Hancock looked at Skyler.

Because Crocodile just seemed to have told some information that even they didn't know and that had not even been reported by World Economic News.

'The fifteen-year-old slashed Whitebeard with a sword...'

Almost everyone who goes out to sea knows about Schuyler's deeds. Not only people at sea, but also many people living on land know about Schuyler's past.

At the age of fifteen, he entered the headquarters of Marine Fando and became a member of the recruit training camp. At the age of sixteen, he defeated a swordsman who graduated from the navy at the same time at the age of sixteen, which is rare in the world.

At the age of seventeen, he fought against the great pirate Red Earl Redfield of the old era, and finally captured the Red Earl himself. At the age of eighteen, he started the crusade for justice. A year later, he "defeated" Whitebeard and obtained 219 from the Whitebeard Pirates.

sea ​​area.

Starting from the age of nineteen, Skyler officially became a dazzling super star in everyone's eyes. He became a general at the age of nineteen and led the team to cut off the slave trade chain that had been maintained since ancient times, leaving the Celestial Dragons with no slaves to use.

And the subsequent achievements were even more dazzling. He entered the waters of Totland alone and killed Charlotte Lingling, the king of the sea. What followed was a battle between the world's greatest swordsmen. A few years later, he killed another

Kaido is an emperor and is known as the strongest creature in the sea, land and air.

It can be said that Skyler's life, except before the age of fifteen, has been exposed, but the news that Crocodile just broke has just been stuck at this junction.

He had known Skyler before he joined the Navy. There were only two people in this conference room, one was Crocodile who was already a little hysterical at this time, and the other... was Mihawk.

Mihawk has a very good memory and super eyesight. Although he only met Skyler by chance when Skyler was fifteen years old, he... has no strength, but he is obviously not inferior to him with two craftsmanships.

Any famous sword.
