Whitebeard downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and said irritably, "Seriously, I can't even have a proper drink."
"Kid, you're here to challenge me too?"
Crocodile nodded arrogantly: "Ah, you could say that. To be precise, I'm here to defeat you!"
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard didn't react much, but his sons immediately erupted in anger.
"You bastard, what are you saying?!"
"How dare you dream of defeating your father! You have no idea how big your own sky is!"
"Dad, leave it to me. I'm going to teach this clueless guy why flowers are so red!"
"Leave him to me, Dad. I'll consider it a good thing he's not done anything wrong if I don't beat the shit out of him!"
"let me……"
"I come……"
Crocodile remained unmoved by the indignation of Whitebeard's sons, and even arrogantly beckoned with his finger, "Why don't you all come at me at once!"
Whitebeard slowly stood up, his 6.66-meter height exuding an imposing aura.
Holding the "Murakumogiri" in his hand, Crocodile looked down at him and chuckled, "Kid, since you're so confident in your strength, then come on, I accept your challenge."
"Dad, let me do it. He's not worth your time." Marco volunteered again.
As he spoke, Marco's hands transformed into wings burning with blue flames.
"Yes, yes, let us do it. We'll show him what happens when you underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates." Jozu, Vista, and the other kids also volunteered.
Whitebeard waved his hand, "No, he's challenging me now. You should all step back."
Although they were reluctant, Whitebeard's sons would not disobey their father in public and would obediently step aside.
Whitebeard beckoned to Crocodile: "Come on, kid."
Crocodile sneered, opened his right hand upwards, and a small sandstorm quickly formed. He then threw the sandstorm towards Whitebeard.
The sandstorm intensified rapidly the moment it left his hand, and a swirling sandstorm swept towards Whitebeard.
Whitebeard watched calmly until the sandstorm was about to reach him, then slowly raised his hand and punched the air.
The atmosphere was instantly torn apart, producing a crisp sound like shattering glass.
The sandstorm that swept across the sky was decisively defeated, turning into a rain of sand.
The shockwave continued its relentless advance, carrying a devastating force as it hurtled towards Crocodile.
Crocodile's eyes narrowed, and his right hand transformed into a sand blade, sweeping horizontally.
"Crescent-shaped dunes!"
"Gu la la la la..."
The battle was completely predictable, ending in Crocodile's crushing defeat.
Crocodile lay face down on the ground, his rear end in the air.
Looking at this posture, Marco felt a strange urge to go up and stick a sword into Crocodile's butt.
"Let's go, kids." Whitebeard turned and left, carrying his naginata, without choosing to kill Crocodile.
"okay."
The Whitebeard Pirates sailed away triumphantly, leaving Crocodile alone in grief.
At the same time, Gecko Moria also chose one of the "Four Emperors" as his opponent.
Unlike Crocodile, who immediately attacks the strongest opponent, Moria chooses the weakest.
"The Four Emperors to be Determined," Wang Zhi.
We'll upgrade gradually.
After defeating Wang Zhi, we'll fight Big Mom, then Whitebeard, and finally the Beasts Pirates!
Wang Zhi had a fixed territory.
Moria's pirate ship sailed directly to Beehive Island and stormed Wang Zhi's lair.
With a wave of his hand, Moria unleashed a swarm of black shadows that transformed into countless bats, indiscriminately attacking the pirates at the Hive.
Hearing their screams, Moria laughed triumphantly: "Hehehehehehe..."
Soon, Wang Zhi, the island's master, led his crew and arrived in front of Moria with great momentum.
Wang Zhi's face was so gloomy it could drip water, as if someone had brazenly invaded his territory.
Wang Zhi glared at Moria, gritting his teeth: "Moonlight Moria!"
His response was a nonchalant, strange laugh from Moria: "Hehehehehehe..."
Wang Zhi had truly reached his limit.
The "Four Emperors Under Determined" are still emperors; how can they allow others to provoke them like this?
Wang Zhi waved his hand and angrily gave the order, "Charge! Kill them all!"
"Yes, Captain!" The crew members immediately grabbed their weapons and grinned as they charged toward Moria's crew.
Wang Zhi didn't just stand by and watch; he too charged towards Moria, yelling, "Moria, you're going to die!"
Moria remained arrogant: "Hehehehehehe... who dies is still uncertain!"
Having said that, he gripped the broadsword with both hands and slashed at Wang Zhi defiantly.
The two captains instantly engaged in a fierce battle, and the crew members also joined in.
In an instant, the sounds of gunfire, roars, and cries of agony echoed throughout the entire Beehive Island.
Before Wang Zhi and Moria had even decided the outcome of their battle, Moria discovered to his despair that all of his crew members had been killed by Wang Zhi's crew!
"No, this can't be real!!!"
Moria stared wide-eyed at his former companions, now reduced to corpses.
This time it was Wang Zhi's turn to laugh.
Arrogant, weren't you pretty arrogant?
Try being arrogant again and see what happens!
Wang Zhi's eyes were mocking as he said sarcastically, "Your crew isn't any good!"
"Damn it!" Moria completely lost his mind, roaring as he gripped his greatsword and charged at Wang Zhi once more...
He was killed off casually in Chapter 219.
Holy Land, Marie Gioia.
The Five Elders couldn't help but smile as they looked at the latest intelligence sent by the CP agents.
As expected, both supernovas went straight for the "Four Emperors".
Although we lost both times, we lost in a dignified way.
Crocodile fought Whitebeard for quite some time and is still alive.
Moonlight Moria was forced to retreat because his crew was inferior to Wang Zhi's and was all killed.
For the World Government, Crocodile and Moria losing was actually a good thing.
Winning just means that the "Four Emperors" will be replaced.
If they lose, they can try to recruit these two into the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and use them for their own purposes.
The Five Elders immediately ordered CP agents to locate the two individuals and deliver an invitation.
The CP agents were incredibly resourceful, accurately locating the two individuals in the vast New World Ocean.
Crocodile was recovering from his injuries when the arrival of the two CP agents startled him.
He immediately got out of bed and stared warily at the two masked men opposite him.
Fearing some misunderstanding, the CP agents quickly waved their hands, while another pulled out an invitation and handed it to Crocodile.
Crocodile opened the invitation in his hand with a puzzled look, and after seeing the contents, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"
The CP agent nodded: "Yes, Mr. Crocodile, what do you think?"
Crocodile's expression was complicated. After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "I need to think about it."
"No problem." The CP agent's tone remained gentle and polite.
With that, the CP agent took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and handed it to Crocodile. "This is our contact information. Contact us when you've made up your mind."
After a pause, the agent added, "If you need anything, just say so, and we will contact the World Government and try our best to meet your requirements."
Crocodile gave a cold "hmm" and did not refuse, but instead took the Den Den Mushi.
To be honest, Crocodile was a bit rude, but the CP agents didn't care; as long as the mission was accomplished, that was all that mattered.
Meanwhile, CP agents also located Gecko Moria.
This great pirate, who could fight Wang Zhi, was completely devastated after just one battle.
Losing all his companions was a huge blow to him.
Gecko Moria seemed oblivious to the two arriving CP agents, treating them as if they were invisible, and continued drinking his wine as if nothing was wrong.
The CP agent didn't mind, took out the invitation, and handed it over.
Moonlight Moria didn't take it, but coldly asked, "What is this?"
The CP agent answered truthfully: "Mr. Moria, this is an invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Moonlight Moria was stunned for a moment, then suddenly snatched the invitation from the agent's hand.
After glancing down, Gecko Moria let out a strange laugh: "Hehehehehehe... The World Government really thinks highly of me."
Unable to figure out what Moonlight Moria was thinking, the CP agent took the initiative to ask him.
The response they received was almost identical to that from their colleagues on the other side, and Gecko Moria did not agree immediately.
The CP agent didn't care. After taking out a Den Den Mushi and handing it to Moria for contact, he turned and left.
Crocodile and Gecko Moria didn't hesitate for long before making the call and agreeing to the World Government's request.
Although joining the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" meant being ridiculed by the other pirates as a lackey of the World Government.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Which pirate is afraid of being scolded?
What they need is the legality of plundering by the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and freedom from naval attacks, which would allow them to do other things.
After their encounter, Crocodile no longer hoped that he would be able to defeat Whitebeard in his lifetime.
So he wanted to use his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to find a weapon like the Ancient Weapon "Pluton" in the hands of the Beasts Pirates, and then blast Whitebeard to death!
Moria, on the other hand, wants to build a zombie army.
Since our companions will die, let's replace them with immortal zombies.
He used this identity to find the corpses of the strong and to hunt down the shadows of pirates.
Then, using the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, they can combine the two to create a brand new zombie powerhouse!
The World Government acted swiftly, immediately ordering the newspaper to publish the news after the two agreed.
Soon, brand-new newspapers were sent to all parts of the world.
At the same time, the World Government ordered the Navy to cancel all bounties on Crocodile and Gecko Moria.
With this addition, including Hanafza, there are now three members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Crocodile and Gecko Moria did not stay in the New World, but returned to the first half of the Grand Line.
Crocodile is going to find the Ancient Weapon and then blast Whitebeard with a cannon shot.
Moonlight Moria is going to dig up graves to snipe supernovae, build a zombie army, and then kill Wang Zhi.
Both of them wanted to defeat their opponent, but neither of them thought about becoming stronger themselves.
