In a luxurious reception room.
There are several tall glass walls surrounding the conference hall. Outside the walls is a huge aquarium. What is kept inside are not ornamental fish but a group of huge and ferocious banana crocodiles!
The light filtered through the sea water into the conference hall, bringing with it rippling streaks.
"Hey, hey, is there finally going to be a big move?"
"It must be, otherwise the boss wouldn't come out to meet us in person."
"Wow~ It's such an exciting moment."
"This is the territory of the Shichibukai, right? Aren't we at Baroque Studio hostile to them? Why did they choose to hold the meeting here? Are they planning to attack the Shichibukai?"
In the conference room, several people with distinctive looks were discussing.
Sitting at the long table were the strongest chief commanders of Baroque Studio, codenamed Mr. 1 to Mr. 5 and their respective female partners. Mr. 2 was of a special gender, a shemale, so he acted alone without a female partner. Therefore, a total of 9 people were supposed to come, but only 7 actually showed up.
"Guhoho!"
Suddenly, a gust of yellow sand flew through the hall.
Then a low laugh came from the seat with his back to the crowd, and the sofa slowly turned around.
Sitting on the seat, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair was smoking a cigar and had a sinister smile on his face.
The man had a long scar on his face that crossed his nose, he had an earring in his right ear, and his missing left hand was adorned with a pirate's golden hook. He had a black fur coat on his back, and an orange plaid long-sleeved shirt underneath the fur coat, looking a bit like a mafia boss.
"Nani?"
"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile?!"
The senior agents who saw the man's appearance clearly showed surprised expressions. This was the first time they met the real boss behind the scenes. Before, they were given tasks through secretaries or contacted by phone.
"Hehehe, we should have thought of choosing the Rainland Casino as the venue for the meeting, but it's really surprising. It turns out that our boss is the hero of Alabasta, Lord Crocodile!"
Mr. 5, who has a black afro and looks a bit like a rock singer, said with a smile.
"The Shichibukai are actually one of our own. What do I have to worry about? What can Alabasta use to fight us? Yo yo!"
Mr2 Fengkelei said happily.
"What a cool boss! It turns out that the entire citizens of Alabasta and the royal army are being manipulated by the boss alone!! It's amazing!"
Miss Sarah, wearing a tight and revealing sexy leather jacket, a blue afro and a sexy figure, said as she admired her manicure.
Everyone started to speak compliments.
"Whoo~"
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled the white smoke and said.
"Guhoho! Everyone! After laying the groundwork for so long, we have finally reached the final step of our plan to realize our utopia!"
"Wow! Are we really going to take action?"
Everyone looked excited.
"Boss, have you dealt with that annoying Bra Merchants? You should have done so long ago! If it weren't for their intervention, Alabasta would have collapsed and been completely taken over by us!"
The short, impatient fat aunt, Miss. Christmas Dorothy said happily.
"Let them reject us so ignorantly. They are obviously businessmen and can make more money by cooperating with us, Baroque Studio!"
"That's right. If it weren't for them, who have been providing supplies from behind, the civilians in the east would have abandoned the Nefertari royal family and joined the rebels long ago! Our mission wouldn't have been delayed for so long."
Mr. 4Beb, who is tall and fat, said slowly.
"They actually publicly declared that if our Baroque Studio dared to intercept the supplies they sent or attack the civilians who were mining for them, they would no longer just provide supplies but would forcibly intervene with force! Hey, hey, hey? Who is the businessman and who is the pirate?! When has our Baroque Studio ever been threatened like this?"
MISS Valentine said angrily.
"Indeed, a mere Chamber of Commerce is a bit too arrogant! Boss, give the order! I can assassinate a few of their key figures first to teach them a lesson!"
Mr. 1 Dazbonis, the strongest chief conductor of Baroque Studio, said confidently with a cold expression.
"No, it's not the time to attack the Bra Chamber of Commerce yet!"
Crocodile said with a frown.
He is not a brainless reckless man. The reason why the Bula Chamber of Commerce dares to be so arrogant is because they really have the confidence.
"We'll be in big trouble if we take action against them!"
Crocodile said calmly.
Everyone showed surprised expressions.
Although they may not know much about the Bula Chamber of Commerce, they are still very clear about the strength of their own company. There is a chief commander codenamed Mr1-5, a deacon commander codenamed 6-13, and below them are hundreds of billionaires and thousands of millionaires. Each millionaire has a small team of followers under his command, a force of more than people!
In addition, the boss still doesn't want to conflict with this powerful pirate who is recognized by the World Government and the Navy.
Crocodile was also very depressed. He didn't understand how a chamber of commerce could become one of the member states, and even the one that enjoyed the highest privileges. If he took action against them, not only would he be immediately deprived of his position as Shichibukai by the World Government, but he would also be hunted down by the navy. For the progress of subsequent plans, he could not give up his identity as Shichibukai at the moment.
"Don't worry, Mr. 3 has completed his mission and is rushing back from the small garden. He has successfully killed the little princess of the Nefertari family and the group of pirates she hired as helpers!"
Crocodile picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and continued with a smile.
"Our 'smart' king of Alabasta thought that he and I were allies on the same front. Upon learning that the main forces of Baroque Studio were trapped in the rain by me, he has ordered the royal army to launch an all-out counterattack. His rear is empty now. You only need to launch a surprise attack and capture the capital city of Arubana!"
"Once the Nefertari royal family and the king's army have been dealt with, it will be meaningless for the Bra Chamber of Commerce to continue to provide supplies to Alabasta! Gufufufu!"
“Ah! You really are worthy of being the boss! You are so insidious! No, you are so wise! Hehehehe!!”
Everyone clapped and applauded.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.
Everyone turned around and saw a man who had a "3" tied on his head with his hair, was wearing glasses, had thick lips, was thin, and had bandages wrapped around his body. He looked a little frail and walked in.
It was Mr.3 Gardino who rushed back from the small garden.
