"Damn it, exactly what we anticipated happened..."
Sengoku wore a proud expression as another scenario he had predicted unfolded, but in the next moment, he remembered that this situation was not in the Marines' favor at all.
"Crocodile and Jimbei as well? This could impede some of my counterpart's plans..." he said.
"Two of the weaklings joined a mix of the weaklings... Do they deserve our concern, Sengoku-san?"
Sakazuki sneered, not feeling that Crocodile and Jimbei posed the level of threat that would impede their plans.
Sengoku, Zephyr, and Kong all glanced at Sakazuki calmly for a moment before cursing silently.
"Sakazuki, having two Shichibukai among the enemy ranks will cause a lot of chaos in Impel Down first, and then if they reach the battlefield, they will certainly make an impact."
It seemed like Sengoku truly understood what was about to happen.
Chapter's Events:
Immediately after Luffy finished declaring that he would go to Marineford, a muted laughter began to echo from a cell behind him.
"(Kuahahaha Sachiburidana Mugiwara) {}
"Ah!" Luffy turned around, surprised.
"If you want to escape from here, then release me...!!"
"I can open a hole in the ceiling!!!"
"What do you say, Strawhat...? Kuhahaha..."
"You...!!!" exclaimed Luffy. "So this is where you were!!! Crocodile!!!"
"I didn't think there was anything interesting left on the outside... but a war between Whitebeard and the Marines? I never imagined a chance to take the old man's head would come."
[Former Royal Shichibukai, Former president of Baroque Works (Mr. 0) Pirate Sir Crocodile]
Crocodile was wearing the standard black and white prisoner clothes, bound by Kairoseki handcuffs.
"I'm interested in the war...!!! With my powers... I can get all of us out of here."
"Not a bad deal, right? We both get what we want." Crocodile suggested.
"Don't screw with me!!! You know how bad you messed up Vivi's country!!!" Luffy shouted angrily, remembering what Crocodile had done in Alabasta.
Hearing that, Crocodile scoffed: "That's ancient history. I'm not interested in that country anymore."
Suddenly, Ivankov intervened: "Let's release him, Strawhat boy. He'll be a great help to us, especially if you're planning on going to Marine Headquarters!!!"
"Ehh!!? Iva! This guy..." Luffy was shocked.
"!!! Ivankov" Crocodile's tone suggested he was familiar with Ivankov.
"It's been a while, Croc Boy..." said Ivankov with a smile.
"You know each other!?" Luffy was surprised.
"Just a little... back when you could still call him a rookie...!! It's all right, if by some chance, he tries to betray us, I'll take him out He can't really be trusted, but"
Ivankov paused for a moment and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "N-fufu, I know one of his weaknesses!!!"
"But if he cooperates with us Then I won't say anything about it, Hiiha!!!"
Hearing that, Crocodile clenched his teeth and muttered: "Bastard...!!!"
"Ahahahahaha! What's with those expressions on your counterpart's face? I wonder!"
Back in the South Blue in the kingdom of Sorbet,the general mood shifted once again.
Ivankov was laughing heartily at the current scene.
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect us to have this kind of bond even in the manga! This is intriguing!"
"I wonder what your weakness is that I know!"
Ivankov was thoroughly enjoying the current situation, unlike Crocodile on the opposite side, who was grinding his teeth in anger.
Just moments ago, he was excited for his glorious reappearance, but it seems the manga wants to torment him as well.
"Damn it! What am I sharing with this damn freak in the manga!? What secret does he hold against me!?" Crocodile exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
"Calm down, Croc Boy... It seems we were friends in the past in the manga, N-fufufu~"
"What an unpleasant past..." Crocodile tried to control his temper so as not to kill Ivankov.
"Hmm, this is interesting," Dragon looked between Ivankov and Crocodile, unable to help but wonder about the type of secret that binds them in the manga.
"Buwahahaha! It seems the arrogant Crocodile has been temporarily subdued... That's good for my grandson." Even Garp was impressed with the current development.
"I agree." Kuma nodded in agreement.
Sky Island of New Alabasta:
In this miraculous place where yellow sands mix with white clouds, the desert dwellers turned lush oasis inhabitants also enjoyed reading manga.
In the royal palace of Alubarna, King Cobra was troubled by Crocodile's reappearance.
"It seems he learned his lesson and received his punishment for what he did in Alabasta, my dear," Queen Nefertari Titi spoke with a gentle smile on her face.
Although what Crocodile did to the kingdom of Alabasta was very evil, she didn't blame the current Crocodile because he hadn't done anything. She didn't even know if he was present or not.
"If his release from prison will benefit Luffy, then I have no objection."
"I'd be happy with that, my dear."
"It would be very useful after all; he's a former Shichibukai, and his strength is undeniable."
"Look, Jimbei has also joined... That's wonderful."
"That's reassuring... Now they are ready to make their way and leave Impel Down."
The conversation between the king and queen was the same as that echoed among most of the kingdom's manga enthusiasts at that moment.
