Grand Line, Rainbase City, Casino.

“This is really something of a surprise…” said Crocodile with a calm face, “I didn't expect a poor kingdom like this to be able to attract the attention of the Fortis Kingdom to the point that it would be willing to establish a cooperative relationship with this kingdom.”

“Doesn't that imply that the Kingdom of Alabasta is not what we think it is right now?” Daz Bonez asked calmly, “If the Kingdom of Fortis is willing to establish a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Alabasta. Surely there is something big in this kingdom.”

"Something big?" Mr. Eyes 3 shone hearing this, "Could it be the ancient weapon we've been looking for all along?"

“No” Crocodile said seriously as he lowered the newspaper he was currently reading, “Ancient weapons cannot be in this kingdom”

"Impossible?" Mr. Doublefinger asked, raising her brow.

“Kingdom of Fortis—No, King of Fortis isn't someone with a stupid brain” Crocodile said, “If this Kingdom of Alabasta is where the ancient weapon is. There was no way he would act like this especially regarding a live broadcast like this. The possible goal of establishing a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Alabasta is another goal and it's not about the ancient weapons we're currently looking for.”

“What are we going to do after this, Boss?” Asked Betham, “Currently the Kingdom of Fortis has established a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Fortis and an announcement regarding this cooperative relationship will take place in a few hours from now. It is possible that the live broadcast will not only broadcast about the cooperative relationship. However, it is not impossible that in the future all the crimes and actions we have committed will soon be known by the whole world…”

Everyone was silent listening to the words from Betham. No one scoffed at those words because they knew, probably all their actions were already known to the Fortis Kingdom. They also believed that it was likely that they had already gained the attention of the Fortis Kingdom side. Especially their spies.

“We're moving…” Crocodile said seriously.

Even though Crocodile himself was a bit suspicious that he would leave this place. However, for his own safety. Crocodile will choose to relocate. Because Crocodile knows. If he doesn't take action to move. Shouldn't the Fortis Kingdom— Crocodile was afraid that what would pull him away from the Marines was especially the Admiral.

"Move?" Daz Bonez asked while raising his brow.

"Where are we going, Boss?" Ask Mr. 3 with great interest.

“Mock Town” Crocodile said calmly, “Mock Town is a city without laws. There is a pirate's paradise. We will make the city our base.” Crocodile paused for a moment and continued, “Though later on all our actions will be exposed by the Fortis Kingdom. However, my status as a Shichibukai will definitely not be revoked by the World Government.”

"Hmph!" Crocodile snorted, “There's no way they would dare to revoke my status as a Shichibukai with their current power dwindling while the strength of the Fortis Kingdom is getting stronger. They will keep my title."

Crocodile's gaze became serious, “Prepare our ship and goods. We will be moving right now”

“Okay, Boss”

This action taken by Crocodile was only an anticipation. Anticipation of future actions by the Fortis Kingdom. As long as the information regarding the actions taken by him is known to the citizens of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Of course, he would be the target of the citizens of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
