Chapter 156 The Cross Guild is officially established! (Fifth update, 190,000 words, please subscribe!)
“No! Dad!”
Edward Weibull’s hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, with a look of disbelief and confusion on his face The aggrieved expression looked like a big dog that was suddenly abandoned by its owner.
"Why? Dad! Don't you want me anymore?"
In the past few decades.
Buckingham Stussy has been brainwashing Edward Weeble.
Even when Edward Weeble was sleeping, Buckingham Stussy would whisper in his ear——
“You are Whitebeard’s son, you can inherit Whitebeard The only one who owns the property is you.”
Decades have passed.
Edward Weeble believed Buckingham Stussy's words.
It can even be said.
The meaning of Edward Weibull's life is to become Whitebeard's son, and then get his father's property...
But now.
Edward Weibull felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
The first time I met my father, I had a happy family, two happy things overlapped, it should have been a dreamlike time...
Why does this happen?
“Look, Dad!”
Edward Weibull stroked his white beard as if to show off.
"Our beards are exactly the same! I also have a white beard! I am your son!"
Until now.
Edward Weibull didn't even see the true identity of the "Clay Weibull" opposite.
"White Dragon, what are you doing?"
Mihawk looked at what Storm was doing and couldn't understand it.
"Are you... playing a fool?"
Mihawk has completely figured it out.
The so-called "Whitebeard III" Edward Weibull only inherited the physique and strength of the young Whitebeard, but he did not inherit Whitebeard's wisdom.
Edward Weibull's strength level is very high, but his intelligence level can only be said to be...
About equal to mental retardation.
Mihawk was greatly disappointed with "Whitebeard III" and had completely lost the idea of challenging him.
And his expectation for the "Whitebeard II" who has not yet met has also plummeted because of Edward Weibull's hip-stretching performance.
Whitebeard III is a fool...
What could Whitebeard II be?
But.
No matter what Mihawk thinks about "White II" and "White III".
No matter how high Edward Weibull's intellectual level was.
This is no reason for Bailong to play with this fool!
"I'm not 'playing' with him."
Storm replied casually without looking at Mihawk.
"To be precise, I want to take his 'ownership' away from his 'mother'."
Edward Weibull's intellectual level is indeed not high. .
Storm knew this too.
It's just that he didn't know that this guy's intelligence level was so low...
To be fair.
There are indeed many villains, bad guys, garbage, and scum on the sea.
But there is a difference between scum and scum.
Some scum are born evil, so bad that there is no cure.
Some scum become "villains" only after being manipulated by others.
Edward Weibull is also very special among a group of garbage.
In Storm's view.
Edward Weeble was indeed a pirate who had committed an unforgivable crime.
but.
This is a fool.
A fool who doesn’t even have the most basic ability to make his own decisions.
Edward Weeble's life has always been controlled by Buckingham Stussy.
In other words.
Edward Weibull was just a "tool man."
For such a silly tool.
Storm has no intention of killing the opponent.
In his eyes, Buckingham Stussy is definitely more damnable than Edward Weeble!
But Edward Weeble was a "good boy" who believed Buckingham Stussy's words.
A fool, a fool's tool, a fool's tool, a mama's boy...
Storm did not intend to let Edward Weibull stay by Buckingham Stussy's side.
That will only cause harm to the sea.
Storm intends to take over "custody" of Edward Weibull.
Mihawk was not too keen on Bailong's statement. He understood Storm's meaning in a more "pirate" way of thinking.
"You have taken a fancy to Edward Weibull's power, so you want to recruit him to become your subordinate."
"It can be understood that way!"
Ström admitted generously road.
"No. 2, do you want to come to my place?
"You have tried my dragon, it is big and convenient. ”
"...Boring."
The corners of Mihawk's mouth twitched violently for a few times, and he no longer interfered with Bailong's actions.
Although White Dragon's approach of recruiting Edward Weibull was a bit despicable.
But in comparison, Mihawk still hated Buckingham Stussy who had abandoned Edward Weibull without hesitation before!
Not to mention.
Hasn't Bailong always been such a despicable guy?
Storm ended the communication with Mihawk and turned his attention to Edward Weibull.
He doesn't like to repeat a sentence to others twice.
But Edward Weibull's brain is really not working well...
"I am not your father, Weibull."
Clay Weibull continued to repeat this sentence.
“Your strength, your bloodline, and your genes all come from the real Whitebeard Edward Newgate!
“Whitebeard is your father! "
"Whitebeard? ”
Edward Weibull stopped stroking his crescent moon beard, staring at Clay Weibull with a pair of big eyes, confused.
"Aren't you just Whitebeard? Aren't you my father?"
It's really difficult to explain something to a fool...
Storm sighed in his heart tone, but then he suddenly reacted.
Why did he have to explain to Edward Weeble?
"Weibull."
Clay Weibull raised his right hand and released another huge ball of clay, shaping it into a tall and solid clay hut.
"Go to sleep first! When you wake up, you will see a different 'new world'."
What "bloodline", what "gene", what "New World"...
Edward Weibull didn't understand any of it.
But he can understand "sleep".
Since his father told him to go to bed, he would go to bed.
Edward Weibull strode towards the clay hut that suddenly appeared, walked into it unconsciously, and then began to sleep soundly.
"Hulu...Hulu..."
In less than a few seconds.
A loud and loud snoring sound came from the clay hut.
Edward Weibull fell into a deep sleep.
Storm solved this "big trouble" and manipulated the power of [Clay Fruit] to capture Buckingham Stussy who had just been brought here by Edward Weibull.
He originally wanted to execute this "remnant of the old era" on the spot.
But remembering Crocodile's previous reaction, he stopped in time.
Storm brought the unconscious Buckingham Stussy to Crocodile, and then forcibly awakened the "desert crocodile".
Crocodile woke up from his coma. He only felt a twisting and severe pain in his lower abdomen.
The "abdominal punch" that Storm just delivered is still exerting subsequent influence.
"Bastard Albumin Dragon..."
Krokdal looked up at the sky. He could no longer remember how many times he had said this sentence.
"Lao Sha, don't sleep, get up quickly!"
Storm's voice reached Crocodile's ears at the right time.
“Do you still want this mother-in-law?”
Mother-in-law?
Krokdal was startled and immediately wanted to sit up straight.
But there was a strange feeling under him, which directly hindered his action.
A huge banana crocodile, nearly several meters long, wanted to sit upright, but was blocked by its thick tail. For this reason, the entire "crocodile" body folded into a strange arc in mid-air.
Click!
Mihawk on the side accurately captured this scene.
But Crocodile completely ignored the dead movement coming from Hawkeye. He looked at the extremely thick banana crocodile tail that appeared under him in disbelief.
I want to touch, but I take my hand back - No!
hand?
Krokdal looked at his thick and short crocodile claws, his whole brain completely shut down.
Click——Click——
Mihawk gave full play to his good eyesight and seized the opportunity to take several pictures in succession.
Krokdal was stunned for half a minute before he barely regained consciousness.
Although he didn't know what was going on.
But his keen intuition directly locked the suspect -
"Assassin!"
The banana crocodile opened his bloody mouth and faced Stoker Mu roared.
“What did you do to me?”
"A little bit of insignificant 'strengthening'."
Ström asked enthusiastically.
“I didn’t have time to ask Hawkeye before, but now I can ask you.
“Do you feel anything now? Well, if I could make it clearer...
"Do you think that crocodile tail 'grows' on your body, or 'sticks' to you?"
Storm is really interested in this issue.
The eight-star [Clay Fruit] can transform the shapes of other life forms at will according to his ideas.
But what is the difference between the acquired shape changes granted by this Devil Fruit ability and the morphological characteristics that are innately possessed?
Can the "Nendoroid" transformed by Storm have corresponding body manipulation abilities?
For example, Mihawk.
Can the "harpy" he turned into use his wings to fly?
Let’s take Crocodile again.
Can this "banana crocodile" whip its target with its tail?
"Eagle Eye..."
Krokdal instantly realized something from Storm's words.
The person who had been "transformed" by Bai Long was not only him, but also the world's greatest swordsman!
Krokdar glanced at Mihawk.
Mihawk, who had just been taking pictures of the sand crocodile with great interest, suddenly turned dark.
Everyone has an unbearable past...
Being transformed into a "half-man, half-eagle" by the White Dragon is Mihawk's super dark history. Through the change in Mihawk's expression, Crocodile had seen something, and his mood became a little better.
As long as I am not the only one who suffers, there will be no problem——
That’s weird!
Krokdal put his distracting thoughts behind.
His combat experience is also very rich.
He already understood that his changes came from White Dragon's Devil Fruit ability.
As long as it has a Devil Fruit ability, Armed Color Haki is its natural enemy!
Krokdal mustered up his strength and burst out [Haki], hoping to directly dispel Storm's ability.
However.
Things Mihawk once did.
Crocodile couldn't do it.
Even if Crocodile burst out [Armed Haki], he could not dispel the morphological changes that Storm had imposed on his body. Instead, it seemed that a layer of crocodile scales was wrapped around his body. A solid layer of armed defense.
"What a pity, Laosha."
Ström's joking words reached Crocodile's ears.
“It seems that your [Haki] cannot dispel my ability!”
Domineering restraint ability, but not absolute.
The ability development level of Storm's [Clay Fruit] has reached eight stars.
There is still a long way between Crocodile's [Domineering] and the eight-star level.
In this case.
Crocodar's [Haki] naturally has no way to remove Storm's ability.
In comparison.
Mihawk's [Haki] is stronger, so he can directly release the "Harpy" form.
When Crocodile saw the outbreak of [dominance], there was no way to remove the ability.
He was anxious.
He was really anxious.
"Vongola Storm!"
Krokdal gritted his teeth and looked at Storm, shouting out the latter's full name.
"Hurry up and get rid of your damn ability!"
"Then, what's the price?"
Ström tilted his head, not disturbed at all. The crocodile was frightened by its angry expression.
"What price are you willing to pay to let me release this ability?"
Krokdal wanted to say that as long as he could release this weird crocodile form, even if that bastard Bailong died immediately. It doesn't matter!
But Storm was right in front of him.
Krokdal still did not say these words.
This time, he was just turned into a banana crocodile.
God knows what will happen to him next time he is bastardized by the White Dragon?
Krokdal was silent for a moment and kicked the "ball" back to Bailong.
“What do you want?”
“Old Sha, look at the weather today is so nice.”
Storm suddenly said something incomprehensible, but In the next sentence, he was in a desperate situation.
"Isn't it a good day to form an alliance?"
Recruiting Crocodile... is a bit difficult.
Even if Storm is holding Crocodile's hand, he doesn't have much confidence that he can recruit him.
Then we have to settle for the next best thing.
Solicitation is not possible.
Change it to cooperation!
“An alliance?”
Krokdal glanced at his crocodile tail.
In this current situation, you want to form an alliance with me?
Damn white dragon bastard!
Crocodile was unwilling to give an answer immediately. He looked at Mihawk who seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"Hawkeye, what do you think?"
"Me?"
Mihawk replied coldly.
“This is between the two of you——”
Mihawk didn't have time to finish his words.
A very beautiful photo suddenly appeared in Storm's hand.
"Mihawk, look."
Storm shook the artistic photo of the harpy in his hand and extended a seemingly sincere invitation.
“The crocodile is ‘sand’ and you are ‘eagle’. When you two are combined together, you can become a ‘sand eagle’!
"What a good name this is! It's so powerful when you hear it."
Mihawk didn't want to speak.
He just slowly stretched out his hand to touch the handle of [Black Knife Night] behind him.
Now he wants to fulfill his previous promise-
Cut the white dragon!
And at this time.
Krokdal, who had an extremely angry expression just now, was the first to calm down.
At this point, he had no way to get rid of this embarrassing situation immediately, so he could only consider more realistic issues.
Although Bailong is a very badass, he is indeed very powerful...
Not to mention Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman still has some gold content...
If there was such an organization that absorbed both White Dragon and Hawkeye...
Krokdal suddenly realized that he didn't seem to need to look for any ancient weapons to gain power comparable to the Yonko!
“Eagle Eye!”
Krokdal looked at Mihawk and said in a deep voice.
“Although Bailong is a bastard, his words make sense...
"As long as the names of the three of us are put together, we will become a powerful organization that the whole world cannot ignore."
"Sand Crocodile."
Mihawk no longer draws his sword. , he looked at Crocodile calmly.
“I know you, you never trust others, and I don’t trust others either.
“I can’t trust you or Bailong. ”
"But..."
Krokdal chuckled.
“Doesn’t this mean that we happen to be ‘the same kind’?
“Since we are ‘pirates’, of course ‘birds of a feather flock together’!
"As for the white dragon..."
Crocodile looked at Storm and raised his crocodile paw.
"Weren't you also caught by him? You should have experienced this guy's strength personally, right?"
Mihawk fell into silence.
"You two, I once said this to another person, and I just want to tell you now."
Storm said at the right time.
"The so-called 'pirates' can act together as long as their interests are the same.
"Although the three of us are all the 'King Shichibukai'.
“But from the perspective of outsiders, we are just pirates.
“Since we are pirates, our ‘basic interests’ are the same.
“From this point, we already have a basis for cooperation, don’t we?”
Crocodile nodded in agreement.
Mihawk was silent for a while, and then he reluctantly spoke.
“The World Government will not want to see the three kings of the Shichibukai walking together!”
“Dignified Eagle Eye, when did you care about the World Government’s opinion?”
>
Storm laughed sarcastically, and then he said again.
"What's more, why should the world government know about our alliance?
"As long as the three of us know it, we will know.
"Furthermore, when we set up an organization, we did not set up a pirate group, it was just a loose alliance."
Storm said it for this reason.
Mihawk has no reason to refuse.
Although he still doesn't trust White Dragon and Sand Crocodile.
But adults only look at benefits.
Just like Crocodile said just now.
Three kings came to the Shichibukai, and just the names put together were enough to shock the entire sea.
From this point of view, there is nothing to lose by joining this loose alliance...
Mihawk looked at Storm and stretched out his right hand.
"Photos!"
Ström raised his eyebrows and threw all the thick stack of "Harpy" photos to Mihawk.
Seeing this transaction, Crocodile couldn't sit still.
“Where are my photos? You two bastards!”
Mihawk said nothing, just threw out all the photos of the "Desert Crocodile" he had just taken.
The same goes for Storm.
"Sand Crocodile, destroy them! Just in case, use your ability."
Mihawk looked at Crocodile and reminded him directly.
“It’s the ‘erosion reincarnation’!”
"Hey, hey, hey..."
A few black lines appeared on Storm's forehead.
"Destroy a few photos with erosion reincarnation? Are you making too much of a fuss?"
But it's obvious.
Krokdal didn't think it was a big deal.
He directly released the ability of [Shasha Fruit] and destroyed all the piles of photos of "Harpy" and "Desert Crocodile", leaving no trace behind.
“In this case, our organization has been established!”
Storm said first.
“What is the name of our organization? Why not call it ‘Storm Guard Legion’!”
“It’s too ugly!”
Crocodile refused directly. He glanced at Mihawk, and his eyes lingered on the cross-like [Black Knife Night] for a moment.
“It’s better to call it the ‘Cross Guild’!”
The Cross Guild?
The corners of Storm's mouth twitched.
Lao Sha, Eagle and me?
So who am I?
Storm decisively refused.
"No! This name is too common! And there's nothing domineering about it!"
Mihawk didn't have any ideas at first.
But when he saw Bailong’s unequivocal opposition, he immediately voted in favor.
"I agree! Guild of the Cross, a very good name!"
Two to one.
Objection is invalid.
The Cross Guild was officially established.
