People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 311 Target: Golden Lion!

Crocodile's expression turned even worse.

"You want me to give up the reputation I have accumulated in Crocodile for so many years at sea?"

"Do you know how many people in the ocean dream of being me?"

Tang Sen waved his hand: "As long as the strength is still there, things like fame can be obtained at any time, and—"

Tang Sen had a wicked expression on his face: "Mr. Crocodile, doesn't he want to get rid of his past completely?"

"Huh?" Crocodile showed a bad look: "What are you talking about?"

"You and Ivankov, the shemale king—"

"Shut up!" Crocodile jumped up suddenly, the veins on his forehead popped up: "Why do you even know this kind of thing!"

Looking at Tang Sen's expression, he took a deep breath.

"alright, you win."

He lit a cigar and said angrily, "I know what you're thinking. You want Crocodile's identity to disappear completely, so that no one will ever know what you did in Alabasta."

"After all, if Princess Weiwei and those Alabastas know about your cooperation with me, they will probably hate you more than they hate me."

"That's not enough." Tang Sen said with a smile, "However, it will be a little troublesome."

Those who have been given the Mark of the Dark Lord will not betray, but only that they will not betray.

The current Alabastas are indeed loyal to themselves, but if they know the truth, their loyalty value will be reduced to the lowest level, even if they still don’t feel betrayed to themselves, but it’s impossible to make them obey .

"In short, let's talk about the future plan." Crocodile didn't want to bring up this topic again, so he said: "You have already controlled the power of Alabasta, right? What's next?"

"Are you going to run Alabasta through your ability to control sea stones, and build a country that even the world government can't break through?"

"No." Tang Sen shook his head: "Next, we will be away for a while."

"Huh?" Crocodile froze for a moment: "Why?"

"The situation here is very good now, you can do whatever you want in this country-"

"We need a stronger force, Mr. Crocodile." Tang Sen interrupted him: "Just relying on Hailoushi is meaningless in front of a real strong man."

"The really big thing is coming soon."

Crocodile was used to Tang Sen's nagging, so he just said, "You must at least tell me what our next plan is."

The corners of Tang Sen's mouth curled up slightly: "Next step?"

"I don't know if Mr. Crocodile has any impression of the Golden Lion Shiji?"

Crocodile shuddered.

"You're talking about the legendary big pirate?" He said quickly, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the sea who don't know about the Golden Lion. Storm the naval headquarters, and be the first to escape from the great submarine prison."

"You want to recruit him?" Crocodile pondered for a moment: "I don't think it's possible. Someone like the Golden Lion is absolutely impossible to be recruited by you, even if it is cooperation."

"It's just a residue from the old days." Tang Sen shook his head, "I'm not interested in recruiting him."

"What I want is his devil fruit—the Piao Piao fruit of the superhuman family."

"This fruit has strategic significance for our plan."

"You want to defeat him?" Crocodile sneered, "That would be even more impossible."

"He's as famous as Whitebeard, do you know what that means? It's not that I underestimate myself, even if our plan is to hunt other Shichibukai, I'm confident that we can do it, but the Golden Lion—"

"I advise you to dismiss this idea."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to die." Tang Sen said with a smile: "You think too highly of the Golden Lion. As far as I know, during the sea battle with Roger at Ait Wall that year, because of an accident During a blizzard, a ship's rudder was unfortunately inserted into his brain."

"This caused his strength to be greatly reduced. At the beginning, he was still able to fight with generals, but as time went by, his strength was more and more affected by the rudder of the ship, and his physique was completely different. Now he can't even use domineering smoothly. You can only rely on your devil fruit ability to fight."

Speaking of this, Townsend joked: "Mr. Crocodile, this is about the same as you. If you only focus on the devil fruit ability, I don't think you will be weaker than him."

Crocodile pondered for a moment: "Are you confirming the authenticity of your news?"

"Of course." Tang Sen said with a smile: "Even if we don't do anything to the Golden Lion, maybe he will be defeated by a new pirate one day. In that case, Piao Piao Fruit would be too wasteful."

"Hunting legendary pirates?" Crocodile finally smiled: "Sounds good."

"and many more--"

He suddenly realized something: "What you just said. Do you know how to extract his devil fruit ability from the body of a devil fruit capable user?"

"Does this surprise you?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows.

"...If it's you, it's not a surprise."

Townsend always knows some secret information, and Crocodile has a personal experience of this.

"So, shall we set out next to find the Golden Lion?" Crocodile asked.

"Don't worry." Tang Sen shook his head: "The golden lion's life can be saved for a while."

Crocodile was a little unaccustomed to Tang Sen talking about the life of a legendary pirate in such a tone, as if as long as he wanted to take it, the other party had no room to resist.

But he didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Tang Sen to continue.

"The most important thing right now is money."

Tang Sen said: "I will give you a batch of Hailoushi products. You and Nicole Robin go to the underground world to exchange for Bailey. It should be noted that the identity cannot be traced. I can manufacture Hailoushi. Now It can't be revealed yet."

"It's very simple." Crocodile said: "Nicole Robin can handle it alone."

"No, you must go together." Tang Sen shook his head and said, "I need more than money."

Tang Sen picked up a copy of World Economic News.

"I need this."

Crocodile thought for a moment: "Morgans?"

Big News Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, owns the largest newspaper in the world.

"Do you want to control the transmission channel?" Crocodile continued to deduce: "This is no easier than dealing with the golden lion. No, I am afraid it is more difficult. Morgans can exist relatively independently of the world government. He must rely on him."

"There is no need to control it." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly: "We don't need to offend Morgans, on the contrary, you should go and give him a big gift."

"And... big news."

"I don't think he would refuse."

"Big news?" Crocodile frowned, "You plan to report your deeds in Alabasta? The story isn't very interesting."

"So, we still need an opportunity to make this report a hit." The corner of Tang Sen's mouth curled up slightly:
"Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon."
