The Great Voyage Beginning from the Tianlong People

a few days later

Dr. Clover was secretly taken into a ship flying the flag of the World Government, watched by CP3, and headed for the East China Sea.

During this period, Crocodile, who was far away in Alabasta, received a communication from Olvia.

“Hey, this is Crocodile!”

Crocodile is a young man with a hunched head, a long scar on his face, and a cigar in his mouth.

Strictly speaking, he is only 27 years old this year, and he has already become one of the Shichibukai specially approved by the government.

Although he is a loser in the new world, in a sense, he is also a winner in life.

But what makes him unhappy now is that just a few days after he became a Shichibukai, the contact number given to him by the navy was called.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like there’s anything good going on.

“Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, is right!”

Olvia’s voice came from the phone bug

Even through the phone bug, Crocodile could feel the other party’s arrogance and contempt.

His brows furrowed slightly,”Who are you?”

“Don Quixote family exclusive CP0, CP3 Chief Olvia”

Olvia casually told a list of her names in the World Government, which made Crocodile’s expression become serious.

With the surname Don Quixote and his status as a world government, it’s hard not to make him think too much.

Because of Luther, the surname Don Quixote, a Celestial Dragon, became well known to the public, and Crocodile also heard about it.

“What do you want from me?”

Unsure of the other party’s purpose, Crocodile’s tone was quite gentle.

The identity of the Shichibukai is very important to him. It is the guarantee for him to find ancient weapons. He does not want to lose it as soon as he becomes one.

“An order comes from the World Government. Tomorrow, a ship escorting scholars of ancient writing will pass through Alabasta. Your task is to escort the ship to the Kingdom of Telo in the East China Sea, and return safely after completing the mission.”

There was no doubt in Olvia’s cold words:

“If you fail to protect the scholars, you will be removed from the Shichibukai and be hunted down by the Don Quixote family.”

“Paleoglyphist…Kingdom of Toro in the East Sea…”

Crocodile’s eyes narrowed slightly

He is a smart man, and he has already guessed something from Olvia’s words.

But there was one thing he was confused about, why did such an important person need a Shichibukai who was a former pirate to protect him?

unless…

Before he could think too much, he heard Olvia say over there:

“If you complete this mission well, you will have the opportunity to participate in His Highness’s CP0 selection. It is your honor to be valued by His Highness!”

As soon as these words came out, Crocodile showed a look of surprise.

No wonder…

It turns out this was a test for him

If he passes, he will have a chance to get into the eyes of that big shot.

Of course, he doesn’t look down on these big shots, but he is very interested in the people he wants to escort this time.

If that person is really what he thinks, it can be said that giving him a pillow when he feels sleepy is exactly what he wants.

To this end, he readily agreed:

“This is my next job!”

“very good! The ship will arrive at the port around 2 pm tomorrow, and someone will contact you then”

After Olivia finished speaking, she hung up the phone, leaving Crocodile unable to conceal his excitement.

For the first time, he felt that he was also a person favored by God.

Crocodile stretched out his palms toward the sky, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He seemed to see ancient weapons waving to him.

……

The next day afternoon

Crocodile was invited to the port and couldn’t wait to board the World Government’s ship

He completely ignored all the CP3s and let CP3 take him into the cabin on the pretext of seeing the person he needed to escort.

The further inside he went, the more he felt something was wrong.

The surrounding environment does not look like escorting a scholar at all, but rather like escorting a prisoner.

“Hey, do the scholars who are guarding need to be locked up in cells?”

Crocodile frowned when he saw CP3 unlocking the door with a key.

“The object is uncontrollable, this is what His Highness meant. If you want to be favored by His Highness, stop worrying about these things.”

CP3’s condescending words made Crocodile very uncomfortable.

It felt like Luther was giving him alms whenever he looked at him.

But obviously, he, Crocodile, can be considered a character.

“snort!”

Crocodile snorted coldly, but did not argue with CP3.

If

(Read more novels by visiting our website: Knights Novel) it were him before, Gao Lu would have used his strength to teach the other person how to be a good person.

But since receiving a severe beating from Whitebeard, he has gradually learned to exercise restraint, at least not getting angry over such trivial matters.

These details are nothing compared to the goals he hopes for.

Squeak!

When the door slowly opened, Crocodile saw the scene inside the ship.

A very simple room with only a wooden bed, a wooden table and a wooden chair

Sitting on the wooden chair was an old man with hair and beard that looked like a clover. He was reading a book at his desk and didn’t notice their arrival at all.

But looking at this person, Crocodile’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but blurt out the other person’s name:

“Dr. Clover?”

“Um?”

When he heard someone calling his name, Dr. Clover couldn’t help turning his head and looked at Crocodile in confusion.

In his impression, there is no memory of the other party. They should not know each other.

“I’m Crocodile!”

Crocodile walked up a little excitedly. When he saw Dr. Clover’s slightly wary eyes, he patted his forehead and said hurriedly:

“I’m a legal pirate who loves history”

“Legal pirate?”

Dr. Clover had never heard of any legal pirates, but thinking that this was the ship arranged by Olvia, he knew that the other party was a member of the World Government.

At first Olvia wanted him to go to sea, but he was a little reluctant

In his opinion, Olvia has violated the perseverance of a historian and instead became a pawn of the world government.

But when he heard that this mission was to determine whether the historical text had been discovered in the Kingdom of Tello, he changed his mind and agreed directly.

Being able to see more history, and maybe even spread the history, isn’t this what he has always wanted to do?

“Crocodile, you just said you like history?”

Dr. Clover didn’t care about the other party’s identity. Hearing Crocodile say he likes history, he became interested for a while.

In the past three years, he has been almost under house arrest. He keeps company with books every day, and there are few people with whom he can chat to relieve his boredom.

“A little dabbling, otherwise I wouldn’t have heard of your name”

Crocodile smiled sheepishly, but his eyes were filled with ecstasy.

It took no effort at all. The person in front of him was not the person he was looking for to interpret the text of history.

What he has to do now is to do what he likes and find ways to get the other person to help him decipher everything about ancient weapons.

For this reason, he took the initiative and said:

“I had thought about going to O’Hara after traveling around the New World and reading the historical texts there, but it was a pity that…”

As he said this, he showed a regretful expression

Hearing this, Dr. Clover also showed a hint of gloom on his face, but he still said comfortingly:

“It’s okay, as long as there are humans around, another tree of omniscience will be built one day!”

“hope so!”

Crocodile sighed on the surface, but he didn’t care on the inside.

As long as the world government is still there, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen.

“By the way, Dr. Clover, do you know that the Kingdom of Duolun was destroyed 500 years ago?”

In order to let the other party know that he likes history, Crocodile began to look for topics

“You actually know this? This can be regarded as a semi-banned history by the World Government. I only read it this year from a historical text of the World Government.”

Dr. Clover was a little surprised. He didn’t know about this before. It was written in the government history text Olvia gave him, so he only knew a little bit about it.

“I just heard that they were wiped out overnight, so I want to know more details.”Krokdal scratched his head embarrassedly.

The way he looks at this moment is like a newbie who has just started to learn history.

“Hahaha, it’s normal to have such curiosity. Many people want to know the inside story. In fact, the destruction of the Duolun Kingdom was caused by an animal type phantom beast.”Dr. Clover smiled.

After hearing this, Crocodile’s eyes showed horror. He was not pretending.

He destroyed a country in one night. Such a strong man is not ordinary.

Even if he is a powerful natural ability user like the Shasha Fruit, he dare not say that he will be able to reach this level in the future.

For this reason, he couldn’t help but asked out of curiosity:

“What fruit?”

“Bird Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Ra’s Winged Dragon Form!”
