Chapter 671: A Harmonious and Friendly Meeting Atmosphere! Crocodiles VS Whale Sharks! A Fruitless Battle!
I also had a few casual chats with the top brass in the Navy.
Cui Ze returned to the Shichibukai Roundtable Conference Room in the headquarters building alone, receiving a large number of awed looks along the way.
Even the navy that hates pirates still respects the strong!
The title of "the strongest in the world" is enough for most navy to take Cui Ze's fame and prestige seriously, not to mention that he just "showed off" his muscles in front of the navy headquarters.
It's not just the Navy.
Even the attitudes of the Shichibukai in the conference room changed unconsciously when they saw Cui Ze returning.
The sand crocodile, which had been dancing so vigorously just now, now looked like a crocodile that had been sunk by the sun god, nestling in a corner of the conference room.
Snake Girl, who had just agreed to Sand Crocodile's words, now saw Cui Ze returning with a complicated expression. She turned her head and deliberately pretended not to see him, looking out of sight and out of mind.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand why Sand Crocodile and Hancock had their previous attitudes.
At last year's Shichibukai Conference, Sand Crocodile was chased and beaten by Eniro, and Hancock was "educated" by Cui Ze himself.
Under normal circumstances, Sand Crocodile and Hancock would never come together when Cui Ze participated in the Shichibukai Conference!
But who allowed Cui Ze to directly challenge Whitebeard, the strongest pirate in the world, before this year's Shichibukai Conference?
Facing a new strongest in the world.
Especially the one who is also the strongest in the world among the "King Shichibukai".
Even to show their attitude, Crocodile and Hancock must come to participate in this year's Shichibukai Conference.
This is not only determined by the personal positions of Crocodile and Hancock, but also the behind-the-scenes demands of the forces they each symbolize.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
Tyrant Bear and Sea Hero Jinbe also have a similar mentality, but they are not as obvious as the previous two.
The only one who maintains purity is probably Hawkeye Mihawk.
Hawkeye really only had the idea of challenging Cui Ze, so he came to participate in this year's Shichibukai Conference.
However, this is also a situation caused by Hawkeye Mihawk's own strength level.
"The world's greatest swordsman", this title is enough to prove the strength of Hawkeye Mihawk!
"Lord Cui Ze!"
Jinbei stood up, his attitude as warm and respectful as ever.
The blue-skinned fat-headed fish doesn't have the complicated and tangled mentality of the other Shichibukai.
The relationship between Fishman Island and Cui Ze is really too close.
Jinbei regarded Cui Ze as one of his own, and Cui Ze's attitude was similar.
Now that Fisher Tiger has been recruited as a crew member, Cui Ze naturally regards Jinbei as one of the Destiny Pirates, but the blue-skinned fat-headed fish may not be aware of this yet.
Cui Ze picked up the topic with Jinbei with a smile, not caring about the expressions of the people next to him.
"Jinbei, remember to train your strength! Your strength is still a little weak now...can you defeat the sand crocodile next to you?"
Crocodile's expression suddenly darkened.
Card didn't bring Raiden Enel to the Shichibukai Conference this year. He thought he would be safe, but he didn't expect to be shot while lying down.
Hancock glanced at the Sand Crocodile with contempt from the corner of his eyes. This arrogant female pirate did not realize a problem at all - the reason why Cui Ze took the Sand Crocodile as an example was because he thought the Sand Crocodile was stronger than her.
After all, for Kai Xia Jinbei, the Pirate Empress' rather troublesome regular fruit [Sweet Fruit] will not have the slightest effect, at least the effect will be extremely reduced.
A whale shark man will not fall in love with a human woman, no matter how beautiful she is.
As we all know, Jinbei is an honest man - an honest fish.
After hearing Cui Ze's question, the blue-skinned fat-headed fish honestly looked at the sand crocodile next to him and answered solemnly.
"I haven't fought, so I don't know."
"Would you like to find a chance to help Sand Crocodile?"
Cui Ze winked at Jinbei and encouraged him openly.
"I think this sand crocodile also fought to a draw with Douglas Barrett, the descendant of the devil——"
Crocodile just smiled when he heard the second half of Cui Ze's words.
"It's just that it has become weaker and weaker in the past few years."
Being publicly humiliated, Crocodile couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and shouted angrily.
"Card!"
"You want to fight me?"
Cui Ze raised his eyebrows at Crocodile.
"I don't mind if you accompany Hawkeye to heal, if you can really take a punch from me."
Crocodile has been on the sea for so many years, and he takes face very seriously.
In addition, it has been a long time since Cui Ze was beaten severely.
As soon as Crocodile heard Cui Ze's ridicule, he clenched his fists and wanted to get angry.
Seeing this scene, the tyrant Xiong, who had always been playing the role of a ruthless robot, slightly tightened the Bible in his hand.
'The King's Shichibukai is not a monolith, and its members do not all get along well with each other...'
'The current strength and prestige of the card is really terrifying!'
'The Revolutionary Army can no longer ignore the development of the Cards and Destiny Pirates, as well as the Hunter Association!'
'After this year's Shichibukai meeting ends, I must find an opportunity to discuss with Dorag how to deal with the card master and his forces!'
Just when Tyrant Bear's thoughts were wandering.
Sensing the obvious hostility of the Sand Crocodile, Jinbei's eyes also turned cold. The [Water Dragon Possession] ring on his hand released a layer of light, and the liquid in the tea cup in front of him was pulled out and condensed in the palm of his hand.
"Murloc Karate·Hot Tea·Gun Wave!"
Jinbe concentrated the tea into a solid water bomb, shot it through the air like a high-pressure water gun, and fired accurately at Crocodile, who was about to go berserk.
liquid!
Crocodile shrank slightly, not daring to rely on the special characteristics of [Shasha Fruit] like other physical attacks, but he did not use his armed and domineering defense as soon as he came up.
Relying on his exquisite sand-transforming ability, Crocodile made a thought and immediately created a small and strong yellow sand shield in front of him to resist the incoming water bombs.
Bang!
The collision between the gun wave and the sand shield instantly caused a dull sound, as if a cannonball suddenly exploded in the conference room.
The disintegrated yellow gravel spread like smoke and dust.
The sand shield Crocodile formed in a hurry was destroyed by Jinbe's "Tea Gun Wave"!
Kaixia Jinbei, the newly promoted Shichibukai, showed his talents to Sand Crocodile, a "veteran Shichibukai", and taught him a lesson.
If Crocodile wanted to rely on his "sand body" to resist the gun wave as usual, he might still suffer a small loss.
"Fish-man..."
Crocodile stared at Jinbei with a rather gloomy expression.
"You are very courageous!"
"How could I be afraid of a mere crocodile?"
Jinbei replied with a pun.
Crocodile's expression became even more gloomy, just when he was planning to expand the scale of the battle and teach this blue-skinned fat-headed fish a lesson.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the conference room.
Hawkeye Mihawk, with his hands wrapped in thick bandages, came to the conference room accompanied by the headquarters' chief staff officer He.
Lieutenant General He glanced at Jinbei and Crocodile, who were facing each other tit for tat, and then looked away, pretending not to see anything.
Whether it's a sand crocodile or a sea knight, they are all the same in Lieutenant General He's eyes.
Although the two are not notorious evil pirates, Sand Crocodile protects Alabasta and Jinbe protects Fish-Man Island, they both seem to be "heroes" in their respective countries.
But in the eyes of Lieutenant General He, pirates are pirates.
It’s not like Cui Ze!
At most, because of the past behavior style of Sand Crocodile and Hai Xia, General He Zhong will not take the initiative to ridicule them as "the scum of the sea" and just ignore their confrontational atmosphere.
"All the six kings Shichibukai participating in the meeting this year are here."
Lieutenant General He picked up the documents in his hands and calmly presided over the meeting.
