This was Crocodile's first reaction.
The power established by the three top powerhouses in the sea is actually treated like a black glove.
Looking at the whole sea, only the world government dares to play like this.
But I have to say that Crocodile also somewhat understood Bai Ye's thoughts.
If the Straw Hat Pirates are the light that guides the people in this sea, then the Cross Guild will be a sharp blade hidden in the darkness under this light.
Even in peaceful times, darkness exists in the world.
And what Bai Ye wants them to do is to dominate the dark world!
Create their own rules!
Chapter 555
In fact, Bai Ye himself has no opinion on the power of the Cross Trade Union.
After the establishment of the Cross Union in the original book, it seems that apart from inexplicably making Bucky the top of the Four Emperors, the only sense of existence is to offer a reward to the navy.
Although some people speculate that there will be strong players such as the Empress joining in the future, even for the Straw Hats in the original book, it may not be a big deal.
There is a high probability that it is just a copy that must be used as Sauron's ascension to the world's number one swordsman.
Both Crocodile and Bucky are already defeated by Luffy, and according to Oda's piss, it is impossible for them to become Luffy's new rivals.
Don't you see that Rob Lucci has awakened, and he was suppressed by Luffy talking and laughing.
And after Bai Ye crossed over, the Cross Trade Union seemed to be very powerful, but it really didn't rank well in today's new world.
In the beginning, Bai Ye even planned to follow Lu Fei to simply brush up a dungeon.
What really changed his mind was a previous conversation with Sabo.
During the conversation, Sabo succinctly explained the current situation of Starfire and Liaoyuan Army. Q
After the world government gradually dispatched the Knights of God with hidden power and a large number of high-level pacifists, Xinghuo temporarily had no spare power to intervene in the new world.
After all, unlike the Straw Hats, people like Luffy just shoot a shot to change places, and they don't have to deal with the follow-up issues of the island at all.
But the Liaoyuan Army needs to incorporate the island into the Spark system, which requires the presence of military and other forces, and it will take a long time.
Although it is a pity, Sabo has officially stated that Starfire is currently unable to handle the tail for the Straw Hats.
Bai Ye understood this.
Although the two sides are allies, it also depends on the situation.
After all, what Xinghuo needs most now is to ensure the safety of the current sphere of influence.
Just like the navy before it, there are trade-offs when facing civilians.
That's why Bai Ye thought of subduing the Cross Union.
Compared with other forces in the new world, the Cross Union perfectly meets the requirements of White Night.
The new forces are powerful.
"What do we need to do? Let me explain in advance that I am not the only one who has the final say on the Cross Union. Even I need to consider the opinions of two other people."
Crocodile muses
asked after a moment.
The other two people he was talking about were naturally Hawkeye Mihawk and Barrett.
As for Bucky.
No way, is there anyone who doesn't know that he is the mascot?
"Don't test me anymore. If the Cross Union is really what you said, do you think I will still talk to you?"
Bai Ye waved his hand, and gave Crocodile a "don't try to lie to me" look.
With Crocodile's character, how could it be possible to establish a force that he can't count on.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that Hawkeye Mihawk and Barrett may be stronger than Crocodile in terms of strength, but they are actually similar to Wu Chi.
Barrett may be paranoid, but at the end of the day, just let him fight.
As for Hawkeye, the guy probably doesn't even bother with meetings.
Bai Ye even suspected that Hawkeye would never show up in this operation.
Not to mention Bucky.
This is also the reason why Bai Ye came directly to Crocodile.
"What you need to do is very simple."
Bai Ye took a sip of tea and said:
"That is to become the only dark emperor in the underground world."
This is not difficult to do.
With reference to Doflamingo's ability to become one of the Seven Dark Emperors in a short period of time, one can know that the so-called ruler of the underground world is not someone so powerful that he cannot resist.
After all, if you really want to be so strong, who is still playing in secret?
To put it bluntly, if the navy really puts all its efforts into sweeping down evil, it won't take too long for the Seven Emperors to be punished.
But on the one hand, as long as the world is still graded, the black zone cannot be completely erased.
On the other hand, it is also very important that the fields these guys are involved in are inextricably linked to the world government.
In other words, these guys are just the existence of the world government's acquiescence.
Even the so-called Seven Emperors are big figures on the bright side of Hai Hai.
In Bai Ye's view, this also proved the corruption of the world government and the helplessness of the navy from the side.
Since these black areas are indispensable at present, why not find someone to rule them?
Crocodile nodded: "It just needs some time plus manpower and funds."
His tone was very calm, as if in his eyes, it was something that could be done with just a few hands.
"I will help you with manpower and funds, but I can't wait that long."
Bai Ye stretched out a finger: "One month, I only give you one month."
"You don't need to clean it all over again. Some of the usable ones can be used again. I just ask for a little."
"After one month, the entire underground world will only have one will." Qian Qianqian
"The Will of the Straw Hats!"
It would indeed take a long time to rectify the underground world from the inside out.
But if it is a violent integration, it will be much faster. In the world of superpowers, as long as the Cross Union can suppress everything, no one will have the courage to do things.
Even if there is, just clean it up.
Bai Ye also believed that Crocodile knew how to do it.
Even if he didn't mention businesses that both people and gods hate, such as human trafficking, Crocodile would completely ban them.
As for gray industries such as journalism and transportation, they can still continue to work.
Crocodile did not dispute the timing aspect.
On the contrary, he also read other meanings from Bai Ye's words.
The reason why it is limited to one month is because there are other tasks after the Cross Union.
Or rather...
"It seems that you can't wait to clean up the new world."
Crocodile looked at Bai Ye: "Wan Guo, Wano Country, or Hive Island?"
Just the cake of the underground world would not allow Bai Ye to subdue the Cross Union on purpose.
This is simply killing a chicken with a bull's knife.
According to Crocodile's investigation, the current followers of the Straw Hats can do this, but it is much more difficult than the Cross Union.
So there is only one answer, the Straw Hats are about to really attack the emperor.
The Crusader Guild will receive the loot on their behalf.
"Hmm... that's a good question."
Bai Ye smiled:
"Which one should I choose? They all seem to be very good."
For some reason, Crocodile always had a bad feeling after listening to Bai Ye's words.
Should this guy...
"Tsk, it's really troublesome to pick and choose, so you might as well ask for them all."
Bai Ye said so.
Crocodile: ...
This guy must be floating.
Chapter 556
Crocodile did not complain in the end.
Although he still felt that Bai Ye's idea was too exaggerated.
Picking three emperors off their horses in a month, even the original Roger couldn't do it.
"It seems that you are questioning me?"
The voice of Bai Ye resounded.
In fact, Crocodile's expression was well concealed, but Bai Ye could probably guess what he was thinking.
With a wave of his hand, he retracted the tea set in front of him to the inner scene, ignored Heiye's compliment to him, stood up and moved his body.
"Then let's play a game."
Abruptly, Bai Ye made this request.
Crocodile was taken aback.
Just because I complained about you in my heart, are you going to hit me?
Since when did you start being reckless without using your brain? !
Didn't we have a good chat just now? !
I think you just want to beat this old man up!
"I think there's a lot of detail left..."
Crocodile pondered, but was interrupted impatiently by Bai Ye.
"Okay, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? I'm not so bored to bully you."
Crocodile: ? ? ?
But I see you smiling very happily!
"What do you think that guy will think if you go back with nothing?"
"Do you really think that you are General Huang Yuan, who can blatantly fish on the battlefield?"
Bai Ye glanced at the big screen on the other wall.
There, Luffy has landed on the island, standing opposite Barrett. Qianqian
Crocodile looked over and understood what Bai Ye meant.
The straw hat boy was undoubtedly planning to beat up Barrett, and if he didn't take any injuries, he would really look ugly.
