Entering the office, closing the door, Crocodile poured tea for Davy Jones who was sitting in the chair, and then sat on the sofa beside him.
The decoration in the office is average, and there are only a few oil paintings and specimens hanging on the wall. It can be seen that Crocodile has no time to take care of this place during these days.
However, Crocodile is much more energetic now, and he feels quite like the pleasure he felt when he was a member of the Alabasta Kingdom and watched Baroque Works grow a little bit.
But he still didn't dare to be presumptuous towards Davy Jones.
Crocodile confessed to Davy Jones.
"Captain, including Fishman Island, our current territory includes four islands and some small islands, as well as the nearby waters."
"Among them, there are still two islands that have no names. Captain, please name them."
Crocodile took out a yellowed sea map and spread it out in front of Davy Jones. The location of the current terrifying ghost island and two other large islands were marked on it.
They actually have names, but Crocodile insisted that Davy Jones rename them. This was to let the nearby islanders know that this area had completely changed.
Davy Jones still quite likes the naming method of "Scary Ghost Island" which contains the name of the ship.
Crocodile asked him for his opinion, and he thought it was good, so Crocodile changed the name of the island.
Now that the name of the island has to be changed again, Davy Jones decided to follow this naming method.
"The island where Luo is located is called 'Flying Dutchman Island', and the island where Crow is located is called...'Black Pearl Island'."
When Crocodile heard "Flying Dutchman Island", he knew that Davy Jones planned to use the name of the ship to name the island, but when he heard "Black Pearl Island", he was a little confused.
Is there a pirate ship called the "Black Pearl" in this world?
Crocodile didn't think about it. It was normal to have a pirate ship that he didn't know about, but this ship should have some important significance to Davy Jones, right?
Otherwise, how can it be compared with the "Terror Ghost" and "Flying Dutchman"?
In fact, the "Black Pearl" did have important meaning to Davy Jones.
In the past, there were two people who violated contracts and agreements, which impressed him the most.
Needless to say, "Ocean Goddess" Cory Busso, the other one is naturally Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow's pirate ship is the "Black Pearl". It was originally destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea. It was only after Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones reached an agreement that it was able to see the light of day again.
But Jack Sparrow must serve on Davy Jones's ship for 100 years after serving as captain of the "Black Pearl" for 13 years.
Jack Sparrow agreed readily at first, but when the time limit came, he found various reasons to shirk, and was eventually imprisoned in the "End of the World" by Davy Jones.
Cory Busso and Jack, these two people have strengthened his obsession with contracts, exchange of interests, etc. It can be said that he is very impressed.
All in all, Crocodile will spread the new name of the island, and by the way, the reputation of Captain Davy Jones will also spread.
"Is there any news about Charlotte Lingling?" Davy Jones asked at this time.
Crocodile shook his head: "'Ambition Minister' Snag has not been heard from for so many days. They are probably already suspicious, and someone should come to investigate."
"Be prepared for war."
"We are already making preparations. We have captured a lot of ammunition from the pirate groups that we annihilated. Coupled with the ships built on Fish-Man Island, it is no problem to form a fleet."
Crocodile was silent for a moment, and then added: "Luo wants to apologize to you. Please punish him. Snag's death has caused a lot of trouble for you."
"He did it all right," Davy Jones said. "That was my order. If he really gives in and gives up Flying Dutchman Island, then I will indeed punish him."
Crocodile nodded and said yes.
Davy Jones did indeed keep his word. He was not a powerful person but did not regard the decision he originally endorsed for Luo as unspoken.
What they, the cadres, are most afraid of is that, as the captain said before, if they really offend the "Four Emperors", they will bring out the cadres to take the blame, saying that it is their own fault.
Davy Jones is obviously not this kind of person, and Crocodile feels much more at ease working for him.
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
The most disgusting thing is that it is capricious and makes people speculate on their thoughts.
Davy Jones did not regard Luo as an abandoned son. To be honest, Crocodile was relieved.
If we really give up on Luo, who knows if today's Luo will be tomorrow's Crocodile?
After discussing preparations for war, Davy Jones asked about expansion around the territory.
"Most of the enemy troops nearby have been eliminated or consolidated."
After Crocodile said this, he stretched out his right finger and poked at the two islands marked on the chart.
"Except for these two islands."
Davy Jones looked down and saw an island named "Thunder Island" and another island named "Punk Hassad Island".
They blocked the left and right wings of Davy Jones's power developing into the "New World" respectively, and also blocked the two "tentacles" of Crowe and Luo from extending outward.
"What's going on with them?"
Crocodile replied calmly:
"The initial problem on Thunder God Island was the climate. There were constant thunderstorms there, but as long as we bought a large number of 'Thunder Umbrellas', landing on the island would become easier."
"However, recently, there seems to be some new power at work on the Thunder God Island."
"Mikita used the 'Light and Heavy Fruit Ability' and bought the 'Thunder Umbrella'. She wanted to go to the island to check, but before she could go deep, a bolt of thunder was aimed at her."
Davy Jones became interested: "Aim at her and chop her?"
"Yes." Crocodile nodded. "She thought it was accidental at first, but then, the Thunder Pillar kept hitting her, as if it was aiming at her."
"The 'Thunder Umbrella' owned by Michita was originally used to divert thunder, but the power of these thunder pillars is obviously much stronger than those ordinary thunder, and the 'Thunder Umbrella' was destroyed in an instant."
"She was also injured, but luckily escaped from Thunder God Island and came back to report to us. We have nothing to do, so we don't know anything about the secrets in Thunder God Island for the time being."
Crocodile then turned to another island.
"As for Punk Hassad Island, the name of the island literally means 'Vegapunk Forbidden Island'. Two years ago, the genius scientist Vegapunk conducted an experiment on this island, and a big explosion occurred. The poisonous gas spread throughout the island."
"After Vegapunk evacuated the island, it was classified as a 'forbidden zone' by the World Government and no one was allowed to enter."
"However, according to our scouts' observations in the outer sea, there seem to be humans on Punk Hassad Island, which is supposed to be deserted."
"As for how they survived on the island full of poisonous gas, we have not been able to investigate clearly."
Both islands themselves have quite troublesome factors that hinder landing on the islands. One is "mine" and the other is "poison gas".
In addition, there seem to be other secrets inside the two islands.
Crocodile was too busy to go there in person, and Luo and Crowe's abilities were still not enough to solve the problems on those two islands.
Therefore, the momentum of the Davy Jones Pirates' territory expansion has temporarily stopped.
Both Thor Island and Punk Hassad Island are stuck on the "tentacles" extended by Davy Jones's forces.
They could bypass the two islands and continue moving forward, but they still had to solve these two "nails" in the end. If they stayed inside the territory, they might "explode" one day.
Davy Jones looked at the chart for a while and found that Thor Island was closer to Black Pearl Island and Punk Hassad Island was closer to Flying Dutchman Island, so he made a decision.
"Krokdal, ask Crowe and Luo to ensure the stability of the islands they are responsible for." Davy Jones said, "I will solve these two problem islands."
Crocodile looked up at Davy Jones, slightly surprised, but also expected.
"I understand, Captain."
He should have thought that with the personality of Captain Davy Jones, he would not let any difficult obstacles stay... Moreover, the more difficult and dangerous the situation, the more Captain Davy Jones liked challenges.
Just like Davy Jones intends to challenge the existing "Three Emperors", he is not even afraid of the "Three Emperors", so how can he be afraid of just two islands?
Since it was Captain Davy Jones who took action, Crocodile no longer had to worry about whether the problem could be solved. Instead, he had to focus on how to continue to expand and defend against attacks from "BIGMOM" or other forces.
