Chapter 37

Although they had only clashed once,

Crocodile had already seen that Li Xiao's strength was definitely not simple,

and he immediately had the idea of wanting to recruit him!

Hearing this,

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

"Why should I join you?"

"As long as you join me, I will give you all four hundred million Berries, and I won't pursue the matter of you hurting my subordinates today!"

Li Xiao shook his head,

gently stroked the Qingshuang Sword in his hand,

and said slowly:

"You don't seem to understand the situation. Those four hundred million Berries were my money to begin with!"

"No matter what, you must give it to me today, otherwise, I will slash until you do!"

Hearing this,

Crocodile's expression turned even gloomier!

Although he had sufficient confidence in his own strength,

and the person in front of him was definitely not his match!

But that sword strike just now was really a bit strange,

even he couldn't figure out the reason,

and the unknown is often the most terrifying!

Therefore,

if possible,

he didn't want to have a conflict with the young man in front of him!

Moreover,

if he could really take him under his command,

then his subsequent plan to overthrow Alabasta would be even more certain!

Thinking of this,

Crocodile suppressed that trace of anger,

and continued:

"If you leave now, you can only take away four hundred million Berries!"

"Now, the entire Alabasta is under my control, and before long, I will be able to annex Alabasta and replace it!"

"If you join my Baroque Works and complete this plan with me, in the future, let alone four hundred million Berries, even four billion is not impossible!" ===== CHAPTER 121 =====

Hearing this,

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly,

and said:

"I already said, I really just happened to earn some cat food money for my little thief cat, I have absolutely no interest in Berries!"

As soon as he heard the words "cat food,"

the corner of Crocodile's eye twitched subconsciously,

and he almost couldn't help but curse out loud!

Cat food, cat food!

If you mention your four hundred million Berries of cat food to me again,

I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!

I only ate the Sand-Sand Fruit,

not my brain turned into sand too!

However,

regarding this, Li Xiao expressed that he was truly wronged!

Heaven and earth as his witness,

what he said was not half-false!

After a long time,

Crocodile suppressed the urge to attack,

and continued to say to Li Xiao:

"Since you have no interest in Berries, what about power?"

"As long as you join my Baroque Works, I will give you the position of Vice President, second only to me!"

"As long as Alabasta is overthrown, the entire kingdom will be under our control!"

"In a single thought, you can decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of people!"

"We can work together to build Alabasta into an ideal kingdom!"

Just as Crocodile finished speaking,

Li Xiao added:

"And then, go find the whereabouts of Pluton?"

As soon as the word "Pluton" was spoken,

Crocodile's expression changed instantly,

and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I say, I'm just an ordinary cultivator!"

Crocodile's eyes stared fixedly at Li Xiao,

and he pursued:

"How much more do you know?"

"How much do I know?"

Li Xiao chuckled,

and said:

"I know everything you know, and I also know everything you don't know!"

Hearing this,

Crocodile fell into silence for a moment!

Before, he just wasn't sure about Li Xiao's strength,

so he didn't want to have a conflict with Li Xiao!

But now that Li Xiao had said this,

especially directly stating his ultimate goal in Alabasta,

it made him even more unable to fathom Li Xiao's identity and background,

and the fear in his heart increased by a few points!

After a long silence,

Crocodile continued to speak:

"Since you know about Pluton, you should understand its power!"

"That is an Ancient Weapon with the name of a god, a super battleship that can destroy an island with one shot!"

"As long as we find it, we can dominate the seas!"

"Right now, you have more intelligence, and I am about to control all of Alabasta!"

"If you cooperate with me, you will definitely be able to find Pluton, and you can even build another Pluton according to the blueprints!"

"At that time, what won't you have?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao retorted: ===== CHAPTER 122 =====

"Have everything?"

Seeing that Li Xiao seemed a bit moved,

Crocodile nodded hurriedly and said:

"That's natural! As long as we control Pluton, even the Four Emperors and the Navy, what do they count for?"

"With Pluton, we will definitely be able to become the true overlords of the sea, of course we will have everything we want!"

Li Xiao smiled with a bit of contempt,

did not refute,

but continued to ask:

"Can I obtain eternal life?"

Hearing this,

Crocodile was stunned instantly!

Facing this sudden question,

he didn't know how to answer for a moment!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao sighed lightly,

shook his head,

and said slowly:

"Look, you can't even seek eternal life, what's the use of it?"

"I have no interest in these things, I am just an ordinary cultivator, I just want to cultivate steadily and seek my path to eternal life!"

"As for what you do, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Give me the four hundred million Berries that belong to me, and I will turn around and leave now!"

At this time,

Crocodile's face had completely turned gloomy!

Until this very moment,

he finally understood,

the person in front of him was simply not someone he could recruit!

However,

even if he couldn't recruit him,

Crocodile didn't want to let Li Xiao leave!

First,

four hundred million Berries was not a small amount,

he was absolutely impossible to really give Li Xiao four hundred million Berries!

Secondly,

Li Xiao knew his ultimate goal in Alabasta,

therefore,

just in case,

he couldn't easily let Li Xiao leave!

Most importantly,

judging from Li Xiao's words just now,

he seemed to know more about Pluton!

And this information,

was undoubtedly something Crocodile craved and valued extremely!

Therefore,

after thinking for a moment,

Crocodile finally made a decision!

He suddenly turned into yellow sand and disappeared from where he was,

then instantly appeared behind Li Xiao,

while his hands turned into four giant sand blades,

and he slashed at Li Xiao from behind!

Meanwhile,

Crocodile's voice also reached Li Xiao's ears!
