Princess Weiwei's sorrow did not last long, because Li Ke forced the two women around him to press on his legs and threw away the murder weapons in their hands.
But to her, it doesn't matter how Li Ke makes trouble. She only cares about how Li Ke knew the identities of her and Crocodile, and what Li Ke wanted.
"Anyway, if you don't want me to join Baroque Studio, you have to pay the price, Princess Vivi, or I can take it myself after I kill Crocodile."
Li Ke, who had been hammered many times and was still being hammered, paused and then continued to speak.
"But actually, you don't have to worry about what I will do to you. I care more about the people around me rather than you. My need for you is just for a reputation. When things are done, I will work with you. You broke off the engagement."
Because of Nami and Nokigao's reactions, he decided to have a showdown. After all, this world is not his own weird world, but a world that symbolizes freedom and passion. If he really goes too far, Nami and Nokigao will really run away.
If he had known that such a situation would arise, he would not have taken action against Nami's disguise as Karina.
"I need the title of a king. To be precise, I want to found a country, so I need your title of Alabasta as help. In exchange, I think Crocodile's head should be enough."
Li Ke's face was serious, and Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, because Li Ke's operation was not impossible. After all, this world is a world where background and origin are important. Although personal efforts are very useful, sometimes background is more important.
Ordinary people, even ordinary strong men who want to build a country, no matter how rich and powerful they are, will still be severely challenged by the world government, and may even be wanted to become pirates. But if it is the husband-in-law of a princess of a country, or even a husband-in-law with inheritance rights, then it is not a big problem.
As long as you give them enough money, a lot of troubles won't happen.
"And please don't worry, the country I established will not be near Alabasta, let alone occupy your land, but somewhere else. I just need the protection of your Alabasta royal family in the World Government. And some financial assistance.”
Li Ke made it very clear that this was his purpose and his demand for Alabasta was only so much. And he was very curious when watching One Piece. Although Sand Crocodile's plan to usurp the country was very perfect, if it weren't for Luffy's halo as the protagonist, even if only one of his plans succeeded, Alabasta would be named Sand.
But the problem is that there are many effective ways, such as getting Weiwei, the only heir, pregnant. Although their father and daughter were quite wary of Crocodile, with Crocodile's status and power in Alabasta at that time, force was not a problem.
It can only be said that this guy believes in his own strategy too much.
This is also true. Not all plots were defeated by Luffy unreasonably. Even if Luffy hadn't suddenly shown his domineering attitude, Alabasta would have really changed his surname under his plot. It can only be said that he is a pity. , met Luffy.
Weiwei lowered her head. She didn't know whether to believe that Li Ke could defeat the Sand Crocodile. After all, the conditions given by Li Ke are still very good. But if Li Ke fails, then the problem will be huge. She will be exposed and her last hope will disappear.
But at this moment, Nami couldn't help but speak after listening to Li Ke's words.
"You guys, don't you still want to build a country with only your wife?!"
The atmosphere suddenly became less serious again. Li Ke, who wanted to be serious, took a deep breath, then sighed helplessly and used a skill that was incomprehensible to Nami.
"If I were the king, you would still be in charge of the annual taxes."
Nami's face froze with disgust.
"yes."
Her expression changed instantly, and her face even turned into that of Bailey. She immediately turned her head and looked at Weiwei aside, pointing at Li Ke and loudly promoting it as if introducing some excellent product.
"Very good! Let's build a country! The princess over there! Don't look at him like this, but he is actually surprisingly gentle and considerate, and his skills are very good!"
Noqigao covered her face speechlessly. She could probably guess that Li Ke's idea was to let her become one of his wives in front of him without any reason to refuse, so she suddenly said that she wanted to found a country.
She didn't know what to say to this. It was like if you wanted to use basketball to play football, but the administrator wouldn't let you, and then you built a gym specifically for basketball to play football, and even started to vigorously promote this sport, it was as outrageous.
It is still a method that normal people would not choose, but when it comes to this outrageous man, it seems reasonable and terrifying.
Weiwei didn't know what to say at all. The man in front of her and his two companions looked like idiots and fools, so she decided to pretend she didn't see these people.
"... Even if you say so, I won't believe that you can defeat the Sand Crocodile, so for the sake of your life and mine, you'd better stay away from here quickly and keep silent about these things."
She was about to leave, her hands already on the railing, but just when she was about to jump into the sea, a strong wind passed by her, and then she saw her boat, together with the sea hundreds of meters away. All were neatly separated.
She has never seen such a slashing attack before. Even the guard captain of her kingdom couldn't do it. She even said that she didn't feel anything when Li Ke attacked. This meant that Li Ke wanted to kill her. If so, it would only require one blow.
Such a horrifying scene made her immediately turn her head to look at Li Ke, and found that Li Ke was calmly putting the sword back to the side.
"Do you think this is a deal you can refuse? And I let you go now to let you die. If you don't want to die, just be a handyman on my boat."
Li Ke said something in a relaxed tone that made Weiwei feel like she was on a pirate ship. In fact, it was for her own good. Li Ke had already decided to kick Crocodile's door. Since Weiwei didn't want to agree, it didn't matter. Just ask her father for the explanation.
"Hey...are you another bastard?"
Weiwei really wanted to fight Li Ke to the death, but the blow just now proved that she would never be Li Ke's opponent. Even if she kidnapped the people around him, he would most likely be caught up and killed. In other words, she had no way out and could only listen to the other party's words.
But looking at Li Ke holding a beauty in his hands, although she gave in because of Li Ke's force, she still gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Asshole... don't even think about using me for anything!"
If the other party wants to do something strange to her, she will show the other party what the backbone of the Alabasta royal family is!
But the problem is that Li Ke didn't have any thoughts about her, so he just waved his hand.
"I've never thought about those things. It's mainly another matter. Do you have a record pointer on you? My stupid navigator forgot to remind me."
Li Ke actually just remembered that he could buy the record pointer of the New World through Smoker. Although the Navy would never sell this thing, based on their relationship, although Smoker is stationed in the Navy, it stands to reason that No, but as far as their relationship is concerned, it's just a matter of getting some air.
but……
It was Nami, the navigator, who forgot to remind him, not Li Ke who forgot to go find Smoker to buy it!
Absolutely!
Nami glanced at Li Ke but said nothing. Although she knew that Li Ke was blaming the blame, as a navigator with her own pride, it was indeed her fault that she was not prepared, so she just said this. The scapegoat is next.
But as punishment, she decided to sleep with her sister for three days!
Hearing Li Ke's words, Weiwei's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. She looked at Li Ke and his group in disbelief, as if looking at some cherished animal.
"Recording pointer... Didn't you even have a recording pointer when you entered the Grand Line?"
She really wanted to say something to show how brainless and stupid Li Ke's behavior was, but watching Li Ke pick up the sword next to him and the woman named Nami picking up the three-knot stick, it was still rational. Didn't speak.
"certainly……"
She quickly went to dig into her pocket, but her expression immediately changed, and then she took out a rotten record pointer from her pocket.
If she guessed correctly, 80% of it was broken when she was fighting the waves, and 20% of it was broken when she was frightened by the predatory sea king and sat on the board of the boat.
But no matter how it was broken, it represented the fact that she no longer recorded the pointer.
"How could this happen!!!"
"How could you break this thing into pieces!!"
Weiwei was furious. Not having a record pointer on the Grand Line meant that she would be lost in the dangerous sea and starve to death! So her aloofness and determination all disappeared, leaving only a fool who was constantly frightened.
Li Ke felt that the problem was big, not because Weiwei didn't record the pointer, but because Nami beside him also showed the same collapsed expression as Weiwei, and then started fighting with Weiwei.
"This world won't lower my IQ, will it?"
After thinking about Nami's recent behavior towards him, which was becoming more and more like Luffy's, Li Ke's face had a faint tendency to darken.
But business still had to be done. Since Weiwei didn't record the pointer, she could only use the methods that were only available in the new world.
"Okay, stop arguing, let's fly to find the island."
After letting go of Nokigao, and patting the opponent's gluteus maximus when Nami didn't see it, Nokigao rolled his eyes at him. Li Ke picked up his sword and walked onto the bow of the ship.
Nami snorted when she saw this and stopped worrying about Weiwei's broken record pointer. Instead, she stood aside with an excited look on her face.
Weiwei, on the other hand, watched with confusion as she and Nokigao found a stable place to stand, not quite understanding what Li Ke's flying meant.
"This is our captain's unique swordsmanship."
Seeing the confusion on her face, Nami proudly explained. But Weiwei was about to ask more questions, when she felt the whole ship suddenly shake, and then a strong wind blew everything around her, making her unable to bear it. He couldn't help but close his eyes.
The wind was howling, and she had an inexplicable feeling that the sudden strong wind was crying, as if she had been hurt by someone.
Then she felt as if she was flying, and the wind around her became softer. She opened her eyes, only to find that the feeling of flying just now was not an illusion, because they were indeed flying now!
The invisible wind was winding around the ship. She could feel an invisible layer wrapping around the ship, and then they were pushed forward by the wind. This was something she had never experienced before, and although Nami and Nokigao had experienced it before, it was really the first time for them to fly like this.
"Devil fruit user?"
Weiwei looked at Li Ke standing on the bow of the boat and felt that Li Ke should be a user with some kind of natural fruit ability. If so, she didn't think he couldn't fight Crocodile.
But it was obvious that Li Ke had no intention of explaining to the other party, because he discovered a very scary thing, which caused the corners of his mouth that had just been raised proudly to turn back into an ice face meant for showing off.
"Nami."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think there's going to be a storm ahead?"
Nami, who was looking excitedly at the sea below, stretched out her hand and tested the wind speed. After finding no results, she used a telescope to observe the rain clouds in front, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Yeah, there's probably a force eight wind."
Li Ke was silent again. If he didn't rely on instinct, he could only rely on part of the power of heaven and earth. Making the ship fly relied on the power of nature, not his power, so slowing down and turning were based on his current ability to control the wind. The understanding and familiarity with the wound cannot be achieved without entering into the complete instinct.
So if the wind is level 8...
"...prepare to crash."
"What?"
"I said prepare to crash. It was too late to land."
"...Li Ke, you bastard!!"
Weiwei: “…………”
Is it too late for me to get off the ship?
At the same time, in a 'secret' auction house on a small island near the starting point of the Grand Line, Robin, who was wearing a robe and covering his figure with his hood, looked at the baroque work sent by Crocodile. The top thug in the room, Daz Bonis, the user with the quick-cutting fruit ability, began preparations for the mission.
"Are you sure?"
Looking at the Devil Fruit that had soared to 130 million beli, Robin touched the 100 million beli provided by Crocodile, but couldn't help but sigh, because he would kill someone if he couldn't buy it with money. This made her feel helpless, but she thought it was quite normal, because it was something Baroque Studio often did.
If this secret auction house that stood at the starting point of the Grand Line was not used by Doflamingo to promote his industry to the pirates who came to the new world, their Baroque Studio would have robbed the auction house together with it. If they kill everyone afterwards, no one will come to them, instead of waiting for the auction to end and then rob them.
This is not to say that Crocodile is afraid of each other, but because there is no need. There is no need to fight between the two Shichibukai. There is no conflict between them, and there is even some cooperation between the two.
"Although the other party is rich, he is just a gangster. If it weren't for the joker's power here, I would have solved the problem long ago. If you ask me, there is no need for us to keep this place..."
Daz Bones spoke calmly. This is also true. If the joker's power was not here, Sand Crocodile would not let them try to solve the problem with money. After all, if you grab it, there is a risk that the Devil Fruit will be eaten by a desperate person. Anyone who plays it safe will be happy.
But who told him that the economy was not operating well during this period...
But Robin just smiled at Daz Bones' words.
The joker's reputation must be retaliated. Although it is easy to clear this situation, if the joker is offended, the sand crocodile will also have a headache.
"Don't say that. No one wants to offend Joker. He is a very cruel person. As long as you destroy his stronghold or hurt his people, he will kill you no matter who you are. And in If we don’t follow the rules on our territory, aren’t we offending the boss?”
"…………"
Daz Bones didn't answer, because he also knew that Robin's words were right.
"Only a fool would offend two Shichibukai at the same time."
Robin expressed her conclusion, but just as she finished speaking, there was another loud bang, and the entire auction house began to shake violently, and then...
A ship smashed through the ceiling of the auction house and landed in front of them.
