The Grand Line, the Dark Island, and the former site of the Grim Kingdom.
There used to be a powerful country on this island, the Kingdom of Darkness, but this country was completely wiped out just five years ago. The strange thing is that the ruins of the kingdom were not too severely damaged, and the streets are still neat and clean. Among the battlefield ruins
There were none of the usual scattered weapons, corpses and rubble.
Occasionally, there will be a few giant baboons walking proudly among the streets in a human posture, carrying weapons. These baboons wear different styles of armor and clothing, and hold weapons such as long knives and firecrackers, and even two huge guns.
mortars were carried on shoulders.
In the northernmost part of the Gloomy Kingdom, there is a magnificent ancient castle. Today, this ancient castle is the residence of Mihawk, one of the King's Shichibukai and the world's strongest swordsman [Hawkeye].
At this moment, in front of the burning fireplace, Hawkeye Mihawk was holding a wine glass with his legs crossed, his eyes closed, enjoying the wonderful symphony coming from the sound shell, and his fingers were tracing the rhythm of the music in the air.
"Dulu! Dulu! Dulu! Dulu!"
Hawkeye frowned, stood up, turned off the phone, and picked up the screaming phone bug from the nearby phone bug farm. After answering the phone, he sat back on the sofa and said, "...say."
"Long time no see, Mr. Mihawk."
The phone bug automatically turned into an extraordinary handsome face, with a narrow smile hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you lonely by yourself? Do you need me to help you find a companion?"
"Do you have to ask me this question every time I call you?" Hawkeye leaned back on the sofa chair, crossed his hands and rested them on his knees, and said impatiently: "Let's go find someone else to talk about ordinary things. I'll
Gonna hang up."
"Wulaoxing has completely broken up with me."
After hearing this, the hand that had just stood up and was about to put the phone back on the volute behind the phone paused slightly. A smile full of interest appeared on the corner of Hawkeye's mouth: "Oh? What are you going to do?"
"Although the five old stars vetoed it, I personally think that our king, the Shichibukai, should still get together. The last time we all got together was at the Holy Land Marie Joa six years ago, right?"
The phone bug's unhurried tone gave people a feeling of reassurance.
Hawkeye, who sat back on the sofa, tilted his head: "...can you guarantee that the other Shichibukai can come? I remember that two new people joined in the past few years, right?"
"Don't worry, everyone who is supposed to come will come. What do you think, are you interested in getting together?"
"Hmph... I have nothing to do anyway, so count me in."
"OK, don't go out recently, wait for me to pick you up."
There was a click, and the phone hung up.
Hawkeye laughed softly, it was interesting, so interesting... He really didn't miss it back then, this Mafia Victor really surprises him every time.

The Grand Line, the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the Rainlands.
The Kingdom of Alabasta (Alabasta) is a superpower located on the Great Channel Sentin Island. The capital is Albana, and its standing army alone has a strength of 600,000. The Neferutali royal family has ruled the Kingdom of Alabasta for generations, and to this day
Neferutali Kobra is already the 12th king.
It has not rained in this country for a year now. One city after another is collapsing in dryness, and people are dying. People are becoming more and more suspicious and resentful of the king. The number of rebels exceeds 100,000 and is still increasing.
. But Yuchi is an exception. It is a green city known as the "Dream City". It has a lot of water resources. People and tourists living here happily feel like they are in a paradise. At the same time, it is also the "King of the Desert" in the Shichibukai.
The city where Shah Crocodile is located.
[Rain Banquet], this huge pyramid-shaped building located in the middle of the central lake in the city of Rainland, is the largest casino in Alabasta, and Crocodile is the boss behind it.
The 'Crocodile Feeding Ground' on the underground floor of Yuyan is composed of a round stone floor and a large amount of thick glass for viewing. The ground here is made of smooth and reflective mirror marble. Under the thick glass around the ground is a deep underground lake. Among them There are a large number of giant banana crocodiles swimming around. This giant crocodile with bananas on its head is eaten by even the sea kings. It is a ferocious carnivore specializing in Alabasta. At the same time, the banana on its head is also the famous delicious food 'Crocodile Banana', ranking 2 Level hazardous food.
Of course, the banana crocodile is also Crocodile's favorite ornamental pet.
At this time, Crocodile was sitting leisurely in the quiet underground hall "Crocodile Feeding Ground". On the long dining table were exquisite food and wine, and His Majesty Shichibukai was enjoying the food with an elegant posture, holding a knife and fork. .
"Dulu! Dulu! Dulu! Dulu..."
Crocodile frowned slightly, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet aside. He took out a phone bug that was screaming crazily. The phone bug was wearing a golden wig and had an inscription on the volute on its back. With 'MAFIA'.
Click.
"Hahaha……"
Crocodile stood in front of the glass floor holding the phone bug, admiring the banana crocodile swimming in the lake below: "Why would you, a busy person like you, think of contacting me? I thought you would be because of your relationship with the Beasts Pirates. I'm so busy with disputes that I can't get away from it."
"If Mingren doesn't tell secret words, I'm afraid you are waiting to see my jokes, old man."
The phone bug automatically imitated the face on the other side, turned into a handsome face, and smiled: "Let me guess, did the World Government send you a letter specifically to prohibit you from contacting me?"
"Smart." Crocodile lit a cigar and slowly puffed out a puff of smoke: "The world government loves you and hates you, but they never imagined that you have been secretly communicating with other kings for a long time. There is contact between Wu Hai. Why, if you are complaining to me, then I am not interested in chatting with you."
"I want to hold a private party between His Majesty Shichibukai. Bypassing the World Government, we can have fun by ourselves."
"Huh?" Crocodile frowned: "Are you going to break up with the World Government?"
The phone bug smiled softly: "It's time for these old men to see the reality clearly - Your Majesty the Seven Warriors is not a dog they can come and go at a moment's notice, at least I am not."
"You have such a bad mouth."
Crocodile shook his head and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will stab Wulao Xing directly?"
The phone bug looked at the desert king meaningfully and said word for word: "I know your ambition clearly. Whether it is worth your joining here, just come and join in the fun to find out. It's a vacation." how?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Crocodile was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Interesting! Count me in!"
"Very good. I will come to Yudi to pick you up in the next few days, hang up."
Looking at the silent phone bug in his palm, the top of Crocodile's cigar flickered on and off, hinting at his restless heart. After a long time, the oldest king, Shichibukai, smiled and murmured: " Interesting. Evil Chain, let me see what gives you the confidence to openly fight against the world government!"
