new world.

Some nameless island.

There is no country or ordinary people on this island, only one organization that looks inconspicuous but is slowly rising.

That's Baroque Works!

The Baroque Working Society was founded by Crocodile.

They were originally in the first half of the Grand Line, an agency selling intelligence and accepting employment.

But when he was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy because of his carelessness, he was imprisoned in prison.

After moving around a few times, he was imprisoned along with his men and pushed to the sixth floor of the city.

Later, when Luffy and others were preparing to escape from prison, he had already escaped.

Based on his experience of running out of Impel Down City, many people wanted to follow him because of this. Even Blackbeard approached him and wanted to take him under his command.

But Crocodile, a man who dared to fight even Whitebeard, would naturally not be afraid of a young guy like Blackbeard.

So the two fought a battle with no outcome.

It has to be said that Crocodile's 50-50 reputation was not just blown away.

Even when facing Blackbeard, who has dual fruit abilities, he can still be evenly matched.

But the most important thing is that he occupied a geographical advantage at that time.

Because the location of the Baroque Studio is in a desert.

This desert is one of the few large desert islands in the New World.

Because the environment here is harsh and the climate is unpredictable, sandstorms may occur.

Ordinary people simply cannot survive here, but there are some special creatures that can survive here.

But Crocodile has a natural advantage here. He chose the Baroque Studio here in order to gain a firm foothold.

Otherwise, if he chooses any other place, he won't be sure to face Blackbeard, or Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.

He still has a certain understanding of his own strength, so naturally he cannot blindly expand his power.

If it weren't for their mission, it would conflict with the mission of Bucky Express.

He would never come forward to solve such a trivial matter.

But he originally thought that Baki was just a clown, as his name suggests, and even if he had the identity of the Shichibukai, he could not be saved.

But he didn't expect that the person who beat Bucky would actually provoke Luo.

Since Bucky and Law were both Shichibukai, it was normal for the Shichibukai to meet each other. Crocodile did not think there would be any relationship between the two of them.

But the result was wrong. Luo's appearance let Crocodile know that this matter was not that simple.

But he didn't take it to heart. After all, Luo was still very young. Even if he was good, he was no match for an old man like him.

But just when he defeated Luo and thought he could finish them off.

Shanks passed by, completely shocking him.

It was precisely because of Shanks passing by that he knew that Shanks and Bucky were old acquaintances!

Although Crocodile was not afraid of the Four Emperors, he had just fought with Luo at that time.

If he continues to fight Shanks, he will definitely lose.

So he didn't hesitate, gave Shanks a face, and then withdrew.

As for whether he will take action against Luo and Bucky later, that is another matter.

Now Crocodile, sitting in his office, the ninth level is doing exactly this.

If he doesn't take action against Luo and Bucky, they will definitely take action against his own forces.

But if we really take action against them, the best opportunity has been missed now, and they must be ready to face themselves.

Crocodile has become much more cautious now after experiencing the last failure caused by underestimating Luffy.

Even when facing his defeated generals, he could not look at them with a smile.

"It's really troublesome. These people in the New World are not weak. It's impossible to deal with them just by relying on these wastes.

Especially Bucky, who brought a lot of difficult characters with him into the city.

If you want to take action against them, it seems you have to find another time."

Crocodile did not give up and planned to attack Bucky and Luo, but the time had not come yet, and he did not intend to directly provoke a dispute.

Otherwise, it would give Tezzolo and others in the underground world the opportunity to besiege him.

The last time he succeeded, it was all thanks to a surprise attack.

If it happened again, Crocodile was not sure whether he could hide from the informants in the underground world.

Although the business of Baroque Studio is booming now, it is without exception targeted by the big bosses in the underground world.

Tezzolo, in particular, repeatedly sent people to talk to him about cooperation, but was always rejected by Crocodile.

These people are all big bosses in the underground world. Crocodile has not been in the underground world for a long time, so he must be cautious.

"Boss, we have a commission to help a group of pirates destroy the navy. Do you want to accept it?"

"Mr.1, I told you that you should handle this kind of problem yourself. It's just a group of marines, it's no big deal.

The navy is now empty inside, even if the world's conscripts have added a lot of people because of that brat.

But it takes them at least half a year to train the troops, leaving us with plenty of time!

As long as you don't meet General Fujitora, you don't have to worry, because I'm here!"

Crocodile obviously did not take the navy seriously, and even the vice-admiral was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Crocodile has such a proud capital, and his subordinates also obey his will, accept various commissions, and earn money for the Baroque Working Society.

But Mr.1 did not leave. He frowned and asked worriedly.

"But this time the navy is different. If you don't take action, none of us will be our opponents."

"Even you can't do it? After a year of training, even an elite vice-admiral, you can pass a few moves, right?"

Crocodile was a little surprised, while Mr.1 shook his head, his tone a little helpless.

"The opponent is Thor Enel, a newbie in the navy who has become famous in the past year.

Although he is only a Commodore, his Thunder Fruit completely restrains me!

And with him were the strangely powerful girl Nelu and the fast sword Enzo.

And I heard that there is another person with the ability of Xuexue Fruit who is also on that ship."

"Two natural devil fruit users?!"

After hearing what Mr. 1 said, Crocodile finally understood why he asked for help.

Because even if they were added together, they would not be able to match the strength of this group of navy.

And Crocodile knew Enelu.

The two of them have never fought against each other, but he has already heard about Enelu's strength!

"This is a tough opponent!"

Crocodile lowered his head and thought. He was wondering if there was a way to accept the commission and defeat this group of marines.

But at this moment, a young voice suddenly appeared in the room.
