Chapter 336

Alabasta, Rainbase.

With the mentality of "since I'm here," Karl took a detour to visit Comrade Sand Crocodile to see if he could trigger the Seven Warlords of the Sea series of tasks.

The last private meeting with Kuma didn't activate this task, probably because Kuma never had any hostility toward him, and now that he is cooperating with the Revolutionary Army, the task on Kuma's body can probably be considered a failure.

Now the only ones he could count on were Sand Crocodile and Doflamingo.

In the air, Karl simply used Kenbunshoku Haki to perceive, and immediately found the most powerful aura here. If there were no accidents, that would be Crocodile.

Karl jumped directly from the Raven's back and fell toward the building in the center of the lake. When he was about 20 meters from the ground, Karl exerted force instantly and used Geppo to break through the window.

FBI—cough cough, wrong set.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I said how could there be such a powerful aura in Alabasta? It turns out to be Lord Sand Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Why are you hiding in such a small place?"

"You, how could..."

Obviously, Crocodile was a bit at a loss for Karl's arrival. He clearly heard the news just now, so why did he come now?

"Why, don't you welcome my arrival?"

Crocodile twitched his mouth. Nonsense! But on the surface, he pretended to be okay, even appearing very enthusiastic.

"Hahaha~ how could that be? You are the Navy Hero! Your arrival makes my place shine!"

Karl looked at Crocodile with some surprise, but it was also reasonable. He probably didn't want to think about making a move on himself; he wasn't stupid.

But I have to say, Crocodile's appearance was still quite good.

Slicked-back hair, fur coat, it had the style of a big boss.

"This place is really nice! Located in the desert, it's not short of water at all. No wonder it's called Rainbase!"

Crocodile grinned: "It seems you've done your homework on Alabasta. It's just that I don't know why the Navy Hero came to me? You can't be here as a guest, Hahaha~"

Karl's smile gradually faded, looking at Crocodile faintly: "You've been very low-key these years. Apart from handing over the heads of pirates every year, I rarely hear news of your activities. Are you plotting something?"

"Hahaha, what could I be plotting? It's just that I like the climate here very much. When I have nothing to do, I come here to sit. Why? Is that not allowed?"

"Does the Navy have to ask how I should do things?"

Karl chuckled: "Not really, I'm just a bit curious."

Crocodile's expression was indifferent, and he said meaningfully: "Curiosity killed the cat! I've suffered quite a few losses because of this!"

Crocodile's words seemed to imply something else, but Karl didn't care. Anyway, he wasn't here to fight; it was mainly meaningless.

Someone would naturally make a move when the time came, so why bother?

"I heard that Alabasta has had a great drought that hasn't been seen in a hundred years these years. How do you..." "Brrr brrr brrr~"

Before Karl finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi rang. Karl just reached his hand in, and his face changed suddenly. It was the exclusive Den Den Mushi given to him by the Five Elders. They would use this to contact him if they had something.

"Sorry, let me take a call."

Karl's figure flashed and disappeared instantly. Crocodile was stunned, but he had an inexplicable ominous premonition.

Bang~

"Mr. 0, just received news..." Before Luo Bin finished speaking, she was covered by Crocodile, who had elementalized over.

"Don't speak, that Navy Hero is here. You must never let him see your face, understand?"

Luo Bin, who was a bit uncomfortable being covered, shrank her pupils and nodded quickly. Crocodile then let her go.

"You hide immediately. You must not show your face until I receive news. Otherwise, I will kill you first! And then clear everything with you."

Luo Bin didn't speak, looked at Crocodile deeply, and turned to leave silently.

Desert.

"Have you finished talking with Cobra? What did he say?"

"He said the fate of the Nefertari family is to protect Alabasta, so no matter what, he will not move into Mary Geoise and become a World Noble."

"Oh, is that so? That's really embarrassing!" Then the call was hung up.

Karl curled his lips. Idiot.
