Chapter 337

Originally, he had intended to play around with Crocodile, but now, he was in no mood for it.

The white-haired old man beside him whispered to the blond middle-aged man at his side: "We already anticipated this result. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to have the CP department step in and talk to the rebels in Alabasta."

"No rush. Since Karl happens to be in Alabasta, let him investigate first to see if the mastermind is that guy Crocodile. If it is him, we can just go directly to Crocodile."

"Makes sense. Let's do that."

Consequently, Karl, who had just prepared to return, received another phone call. After hanging up, Karl cursed as he turned around.

Boom—another window broken.

"Sorry, you don't mind, do you?"

Crocodile was smiling on the surface, but cursing up a storm inside: Can't you just walk properly for once, you bastard?

"Where was I? Oh right, I remember now. All the various incidents happening in the Kingdom of Alabasta are small tricks you've been pulling behind the scenes, right?"

"I don't really see... Hmm? What did you say?"

Karl stood up, looked Crocodile straight in the eyes, and said word for word: "I said, all the various incidents happening in the Kingdom of Alabasta are small tricks you've been pulling behind the scenes, right?"

Crocodile's expression shifted, and he snorted coldly: "What do you mean? I'm just the boss here. What does Alabasta's business have to do with me? Don't go making baseless accusations!"

"Stop pretending. Do you think what you've done is very covert? You should know that Dance Powder is a prohibited item strictly banned by the World Government."

"How could Cobra possibly have the ability to import such a large quantity of Dance Powder, and then get discovered by others?"

"Crocodile, don't try to fool everyone as if they're idiots. Do you think we don't know? We just couldn't be bothered to deal with it."

Crocodile's expression changed again and again, and the look he gave Karl gradually filled with murderous intent.

"Ding—detected hostility from Sha Crocodile toward the host, triggering series task 【Don't Hit Your Own People 5/7】."

"Warlord of the Sea exclusive task: As allies, you should love and cherish each other, coexist peacefully, and not resort to fighting and killing, which damages harmony and wastes precious time for slacking off."

"Task requirement: Avoid combat with one of the Warlords of the Sea, Sha Crocodile."
