Whiskey Peak enters the sea and is lined up on the shores on both sides of the sea road.
There are at least more than 40,000 bounty hunters and various gangs, led by more than a thousand men in black, looking towards the huge shadow that is gradually approaching in the distance.
At the same time, the men in black leading the crowd shouted at the crowd!
"Attention everyone, Gao Wensheng is about to arrive!!!
Everyone has it, take what you have in hand and figure out what you should do!
If I see anyone failing to do their job well, don’t blame our guns for not having eyes!!!
The ribbon group and the champagne group moved toward the edge of the pier, making sure to let Lord Gawain feel our enthusiasm immediately!
The female cheerleaders went to the front of the pier to wait, holding the flower bouquet in their hands for me!
That green guy with the tattoo, damn, you bitch has thicker muscles than I do!
How could there be such a talented guy in the cheerleading team? This is too strong!
Get out of here, get out of here quickly!
The music group begins to play, and the conductor pays attention to maintaining the rhythm. The music must reach its climax at the moment when the adults disembark!
As for the video team, hurry up and find a good location to record the heroic figure of the adults disembarking from the boat!
There are also other cadres except Lord Gawain, all of them need to have close-ups!
Morgans doesn't pay attention to you at all. He actually only gave you the front page headlines for three consecutive issues!
Our baroque newspaper cannot lose its mind like that bird of Morgans!
In addition, where is the catering team and are the ingredients ready? If not, spend the last few minutes fishing in the sea as soon as possible!!!
The beverage team must show it off. Whiskey Peak is the best wine-making place in the entire Grand Line. Let’s show our glory to the adults!!!
Finally, all you bastards out there who are not in groups, listen up!
Take the colorful flags and banners in your hands, and use your greatest strength and all your enthusiasm to shake the things in your hands for me!!!
You bunch of bastards, you hang out in Whiskey Peak on weekdays, it’s all the elders of our Baroque Studio who give you face!
If any of you dares to make a mistake today, then the millions of elders and billions of elders in our Baroque Studio will kill your whole family first, and then go to your Majesty to commit seppuku!!!"
Accompanied by the fierce words spoken by the man in black, the bounty hunters gathered on both sides of the pier started to fight.
They do know about the Baroque Cooperative, because Whiskey Peak is the headquarters of this company outside Alabasta.
In the past few years, although the cadres of this work company rarely showed up, the millions of elders and hundreds of millions of elders in this work company have long become the backbone of Whiskey Mountain!
Crocodile's previous ambitions were not based on vain words. He did indeed do a lot of things and control many places.
Not only did he turn Whiskey Peak into a tabloid for Baroque Works, he even established Baroque Works' own newspaper in Whiskey Peak.
Although this newspaper cannot be spread on a large scale because there are no Seagull employees, the sales volume of Baroque Work Newspaper on Whiskey Peak far exceeds that of World Economic News.
The only business the World Economic News can do on Whiskey Mountain is to subscribe to the reward list...
…
At the same time, on the Blackbird, as it gradually approached the Whiskey Mountain Peak, the hurricane that blocked the sky slowly disappeared.
People packed up the messy things on the ship as usual. Similar hurricane weather was too common on the Grand Line.
The members of the Black Ice Platform should be very familiar with this set of procedures, but because Gawain had just burst out with his overlord-colored domineering energy, their work was a little more difficult.
That is to wake up the companions first...
As for Gawain, he was cleaning up the nearby tables and chairs and couldn't help but look at the setting sun falling on the horizon.
On the sea along the Grand Line, storms follow us everywhere, and all kinds of incredible weather may appear before us at any time.
Such an environment is of great help to the power of Overlord Color, which is enhanced according to the mentality!
Challenging nature is the most heroic thing in the world!
In the Grand Line, such heroism can happen at any time. Wouldn't it be of great help to Overlord?
Beside Gawain, Kalifa looked at it for a moment and smiled.
"Sir, it seems that my judgment is correct, I have vaguely seen the Whiskey Mountain Peak!
I think it only takes twenty or thirty minutes, so we can choose a place to stop."
After the words fell, Kalifa pursed her lips slightly. Being close to Whiskey Peak meant that they were very close to the Red Earth Continent.
It also means that they have walked halfway around the planet beneath their feet.
At this point, even she couldn't help but become slightly excited.
In addition, after climbing over the Upside Down Mountain in the Red Continent, you will be very close to the sea restaurant Moratti.
Even though she was a professional secretary, she couldn't help but look forward to the delicious food at Moratti's restaurant.
How many people wouldn’t look forward to that kind of delicious food that can bring out emotions?
On the side, hearing Kalifa's words, Gawain nodded gently.
"Normal sailing and then prepare to dock.
If the hydrological observation station is established according to the old rules, I don’t know whether the hurricane surrounding Whiskey Peak will have too much impact on the sea train.”
Having said this, Gawain looked towards Franky in the distance.
Gao Wenwen was the pearl and flag of the Black Bird. As soon as he turned his head, Franky immediately noticed it.
So Franky used a robotic hand to hold his chin.
"Your Excellency is right. We need to carefully consider the issue of hurricanes, add more extraneous materials to the train tracks, and add more fixed devices to the links between the trains and the tracks.
Generally speaking, the construction cost of the nearby sea train will be higher, but it is not an unsolvable problem, so don’t worry!"
"That's good."
After listening to Franky's words, Gawain felt relieved. It is indeed one of the most powerful black technologies in the pirate world, and the sea train is really reliable.
You know, although sea trains were rare when the One Piece manga started, two years after the war, sea trains became very common.
I don’t know if you have noticed this, but since Luffy entered the new world after the War on the Top, sea trains have been completed in many places they passed.
Whether it is the Zefa chapter of The Strongest Z or the Barrett chapter of Operation Hot Blood, Sea Train occupies a large space in both of them.
In other words, even if Gawain did not exist, in the World Government's original plan, projects such as sea trains that can promote transportation have gradually been rolled out around the world.
The major offensive that Akainu gradually launched in the later period to deal with the pirates was the trend of the world government gradually putting pressure on the pirates and the affiliated countries.
The reason why the world government has such confidence is probably related to the gradual convenience of transportation.
Comics can only show the passionate scenes we want to see, but for the entire world, politics will always be an indispensable part.
Since politics has been linked to many projects such as people's livelihood since ancient times, it is impossible for Gawain to judge how to act in the future based solely on the plot of the comics.
If everything was that simple, then he wouldn't need to be as tired as he is now.
While Gawain and Franky were discussing, Crocodile's mind had already left the ship.
He stood on the edge of the ship's side, looking in the direction of Whiskey Mountain in trance.
Noticing the strange behavior of his former boss, Robin turned the pen lightly with his right hand and came to Crocodile himself.
"What, Mr. 0, have you prepared anything for your Excellency at Whiskey Peak?"
"Robin..."
Listening to Robin's words, Crocodile took a deep breath.
"Don't call me Mr. 0, just like I call you by your name, call me Crocodile.
Now, we are not in a subordinate relationship, we are all colleagues of that person."
After finishing his words, Crocodile looked leisurely at Gawain's back.
Before boarding the ship, this guy never expected that Gawain's ship would be so harmonious that he couldn't find anyone to instigate him to do anything he wanted to do!
Of course he knew that the ordinary soldiers at Black Ice Terrace would obey Gawain, a Celestial Dragon.
But he really didn't expect that even monster-level powerhouses like Rayleigh Gion Issuke Zefa and other elites like him from the Shichibukai would become Gawain's absolute supporters!
You know, those people spanned the navy, pirates and Shichibukai. Even after he got on the ship, he even knew the identity of the Big Bear Revolutionary Army!
There are so many camps, so many powerful people, how the hell did they get together?!
Crocodile still can't figure this out until now!
Of course, what he didn't expect was Bai Xing!
After looking in the direction of the Whiskey Mountain Peak, Crocodile couldn't help but look towards Shirahoshi with his thoughts in mind.
Poseidon, the king of the sea, that is the king of the sea!
Why is Aquaman like this?!!
Why can everyone on this ship really treat a legendary weapon like the Sea King as a child who is ignorant of the world?!
If it were him, he would definitely turn Bai Xing into a complete tool, at least...
"Crocodale!"
Suddenly, Robin scolded Crocodile's name in a cold voice.
"Um?"
Crocodile looked back in confusion and saw Robin frowning and speaking to him.
"Although you are no longer my boss, I still want to advise you that it is best to restrain the way you look at my fiancée.
Not only now, when we were on the boat, you stared at her for a long time!"
"I have no ill intentions, and I don't have any charming thoughts. I'm just shocked.
On this point, I think Lord Gawain knows me better than you!"
Crocodile couldn't help but respond to Robin, but at the same time as he responded, Crocodile seemed to suddenly understand something.
He couldn't help but continue talking.
"I seem to understand something. Even I deeply feel that Lord Gawain can understand me.
Even I don’t just feel, but… trust his trust in me….
Does it moisturize things silently...?"
While speaking, Crocodile did not look at Bai Xing, but looked towards Gawain.
Looking at Gawain who was explaining something to Kalifa and Franky, Crocodile sighed leisurely.
"Even if I am also affected invisibly, is this... the gap between me and the king?
Overlord color... No, this is not just the effect of overlord color!
He just has this ability to make people trust...even to make people from different camps, different types, and who should be contradictory to trust him!
Is overlord color really the qualification of a king?
I don’t know that, but I know that maybe only someone with Lord Gawain’s tolerance can have such a terrifying overlord color..."
As he spoke, Crocodile let out a heavy breath.
What he has always pursued is an existence on the level of Gawain's fiancée.
Gawain has long held his longing and dream in his hands.
Compared with him, my own strategies and ambitions are like a firefly to a bright moon.
In this case, maybe...
If Lord Gawain really succeeds, then on the day he succeeds, the power and status that his status as a senator now brings to him may be higher than the one he has always pursued...
Thinking of this, Crocodile calmed down and saw a cold smile on his face.
"Forget about that, Robin, let's prepare for the trip to Whiskey Peak.
You and I should know that that is one of the strongholds of my Baroque Works Society.
So, I don’t want you to feel any trouble at Whiskey Peak!”
After the words fell, Crocodile raised his head and came to Gawain's side as always.
He stood far away from Gawain, next to Rayleigh and his group of lazy guys, and together with everyone else, he simply packed up the items on the ship.
While tidying up, Crocodile thought.
I don’t know if the adults will like the gift I prepared for them...
…
…
…
About forty minutes later we boarded the Little Black Bird which was used to dock.
Gawain looked silently at the shore that was getting closer.
Just on that coast, countless flowers and banners were flying in the wind, accompanied by the cheers and greetings of countless people.
Music sounded from both sides of the coast, and Chopper, who was sitting happily on Gawain's shoulders, couldn't help but follow the beat and move his little hooves.
The cheerleaders who kept dancing made Bai Xing and Uta on the side couldn't help but wave their hands towards the shore and sway with the rhythm.
Beside Bai Xing, Weiwei looked at everything with a dull face, this... this, this, this...
Even when I traveled with my father in Alabasta, I had never received the kind of welcome that I get now!
Is this the influence of Lord Gawain?!!
Weiwei couldn't help but hug her heart with her hands and looked at Gawain excitedly.
That's right, adults are the kind of people who make everyone happy!
If you stay with such an adult, you will definitely be able to accomplish something more than inheriting the throne of Alabasta!
By then, I will definitely use my own power to let the people of Alabasta live a better life!
Not to mention Weiwei's childish thoughts.
Beside Gao Wen, the cadres all frowned.
Rayleigh and Zefa looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Rayleigh couldn't help but say.
"Brother Crocodile, I saw familiar cadres from the Baroque Working Group in the crowd.
So, this is your territory?"
"Of course, Lord Rayleigh!"
Crocodile responded to Rayleigh with a calm expression.
"Before I followed Lord Gawain, I had always focused the management of Baroque Works on this whiskey peak that had just entered the Grand Route.
As for now, since I am passing by Whiskey Peak with your Excellency.
Then the land and population in my hands should naturally be engraved with Lord Gawain's name and symbol!"
When Crocodile said this, someone happened to raise more than one black bird flag on the distant coast!
When the black bird on the flag fluttered in the wind, Crocodile stepped out from the crowd, came to Gawain's side, and half-knelt down solemnly.
Brushing his chest with his right hand, Crocodile said to Gawain.
"My lord, Whiskey Mountain has been under my control for the past five years.
Now, I am honored to dedicate this land to you, so as to contribute to your and our common ideals!"
After the words fell, Crocodile bowed his head respectfully.
Beside Gawain, he smiled and nodded leisurely after hearing this.
He smiled and bowed his hand to Gawain.
"Sir, your flag has attracted the blowing wind again."
"yes."
Gawain nodded and responded with a smile.
Then he came to Crocodile and solemnly helped Crocodile up.
"You are interested."
He said to Crocodile with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain hugged Crocodile gently amid his surprised expression.
After letting go of Crocodile, Gawain patted Crocodile on the shoulder.
"I will remember your contribution, trust me."
As he finished speaking, Gawain's eyes collided with Crocodile's.
At this moment, feeling the sincerity in Gawain's eyes, Crocodile's heart skipped a beat.
Obviously he has his own plans in mind, and everything he is doing now is for his own benefit. Even following Gawain is just for power and status.
But at this moment, he could not help but be moved by Gawain's eyes!
Looking at Gawain's eyes that were mixed with approval and relief, Crocodile swallowed hard.
The Lord's just right look made even him feel proud...
