"I understand!" After listening to Nico Robin's explanation, Crocodile then continued to walk towards the entrance of the hall, "I will deal with this Callum!
Although Nico Robin heard Crocodile's words, she did not respond.
Nico Robin did not know Callum's approximate strength. However, she knew, that Callum was definitely not simple!
And Crocodile as one of the Shichibukai, his strength was definitely very powerful.
The Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit ability user, allowed Crocodile to be like a tiger with wings in this place of Alabasta. And become even more powerful.
For the duel between the two people, Nico Robin actually favored Crocodile winning more. Because, Nico Robin knew about Crocodile's abilities to some extent.
However, even so, Nico Robin did not know why, but she still hoped that Callum could defeat Crocodile.
"Let's go and take a look at the kingdom ruins!" Callum after defeating Nico Robin, then left the room in the royal palace. And went towards the kingdom ruins.
Because, Callum had already asked the soldiers here before. The royal palace's clock tower and the square were near the kingdom ruins.
"I have to go and confirm, this plan this time is a plan that I have been preparing for many years, I cannot let it fall short!" Similarly, Crocodile was afraid that something would happen to his bombs, and wanted to come and take a look.
If, there were no these accidents, Crocodile would not have come here to look at these bombs. After all, Crocodile relatively believed in his subordinates!
However, there were unexpected situations now.
Callum and the others' appearance, and the occurrence of a series of events, made Crocodile have to be cautious.
If something unexpected really happened, Crocodile would really be somewhat at a loss.
"So this is the kingdom ruins!"
After about half an hour, Callum then came near the kingdom ruins. Looking at the environment here, Callum was thinking about something.
"Just how many bombs did this Crocodile bury here?" Callum while looking at the square, muttered to himself.
At the same time, at this time, Callum also saw the clock tower on the side of the square.
The location where this clock tower was located, was also a great location that was suitable for placing bombs, Crocodile had definitely also undergone serious consideration.
Because, just relying on the bombs on the square, it was not enough to let all of the people be blown to death. After all, the number of the royal army and the rebel army combined, was still very large.
However, if the bombs here in the clock tower were added. Almost no one would be able to leave the square, and they would all be blown to death!
Even if there were some lucky soldiers, and warriors, who escaped from the explosion of the bombs on the square and in the clock tower, the members of Baroque Works, would also be able to quickly eliminate these people who had escaped.
"Callum!" And just when Callum was still observing, someone suddenly called Callum's name.
Callum then looked up, on the other side of the kingdom ruins, a man with a golden hook on his left hand, was smoking a cigar, and looking towards Callum with a proud face.
"Did you come here, to ruin my good things?" Crocodile did not launch an attack on Callum from the beginning. But, was asking Callum questions.
"Your good things? What are your good things?" Callum asked back towards Crocodile somewhat puzzledly. In fact, how could Callum not know what Crocodile wanted to express.
He just did not want to accept Crocodile's words.
"Hahahaha, now that it's come to this, what's the point of saying these words?" Crocodile was obviously very confident in Callum. So, his tone was revealing ease.
"Yes, now that we've already come to this place, what's the point of saying these words?" Looking at Crocodile, Callum faintly pulled out his Akatsuki.
Because, Crocodile was a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability user. So when dealing with him, it was relatively difficult.
Moreover, Crocodile himself was an old pirate.
In terms of combat, he was definitely also very powerful. So Callum became serious.
Dealing with Crocodile, was different from dealing with Nico Robin, or those people in Baroque Works. If he did not pay attention, he would suffer a big loss.
Of course, Crocodile and Smoker who was also a Logia-type ability user were different.
Crocodile's ability, was obviously much more than Smoker's. If he took the same attitude as when dealing with Smoker. Callum would similarly suffer a loss.
So, becoming serious now, was still very beneficial for Callum.
"So you're a swordsman ah!" Seeing that Callum had pulled out his Akatsuki, Crocodile then could not help but say a sentence.
On the other hand, the flames on Akatsuki, made Crocodile somewhat surprised.
"Of course, this is one of the Supreme Grade Swords, Akatsuki!" Callum said very brazenly. Even someone like Tashigi who had considerable research on famous swords, Callum could still fool.
Callum would naturally be even easier to fool someone like Crocodile who had almost no research on these things.
"Supreme Grade Sword? Not simple ah! I didn't expect, that you would actually have a Supreme Grade Sword!" Crocodile was still very shocked that Callum possessed a Supreme Grade Sword.
After all, in his understanding, there were only twelve Supreme Grade Swords,
Being able to obtain one of them, was definitely difficult on top of difficult.
"Of course!" Callum said while raising the Akatsuki in his hand. "Now, I'll let you taste the power of my Supreme Grade Sword!"
While saying this, Callum attacked towards Crocodile.
For such Logia-type Devil Fruit ability users, taking the initiative to attack, would sometimes have very good results.
"Clang!" Of course, even if he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability user, Crocodile did not have the slightest bit of slack or lack of seriousness. The golden hook on his left hand instantly received Callum's attack.
Callum's Akatsuki, had already been covered with enough Armament Haki at the moment of attacking.
Of course, how could Crocodile who had rich combat experience not see it.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry to attack. Armament Haki is still quite powerful!" After receiving Callum's attack, Crocodile still said towards Callum very proudly, "Shouldn't we have a good talk?"
"Have a talk? How should we talk?" The weapons that the two people were holding, had not been withdrawn, and they just said this.
"If you can not fight with me, I can promise you, to give you anything you want, as long as I can do it." Crocodile said towards Callum, although there was still pride in his tone, it could be clearly felt that Crocodile.
Was trying to win Callum over.
After all, this kind of battle, was not necessary for Crocodile,
Moreover, although Crocodile felt that Callum was not that good. However, at least he was stronger than some of the members in his Baroque Works.
Otherwise, he would not have defeated the two Baroque Works members who had gone to find him at the beginning.
However, although Crocodile thought like this. There was not a single member in Baroque Works who was qualified to fight with himself.
Being able to pull Callum into his Baroque Works was also a very good thing.
Moreover, Crocodile was used to drawing big cakes for the members in his Baroque Works.
Drawing a big cake for Callum, was also not a difficult thing.
"Really anything I want?" Callum pretended to be very interested and said towards Crocodile,
"Of course, if you want to join my Baroque Works. You can also get even more things!" Seeing that Callum was relatively very interested, Crocodile then said further,
"Baroque Works? Could it be" Callum did not finish speaking, but looked towards Crocodile.
"Just like what you think!" Crocodile said very certainly, "This country, will be mine sooner or later. At that time, the members in Baroque Works, based on their status, will be able to get the opportunity to become important figures in this country!"
"Oh, so that's how it is, the treatment is really good!" Callum said while showing that he was even more interested, "Then, what about your life?"
"Haha, so that's how it is, then there's nothing to talk about!" Hearing that Callum had said this, Crocodile naturally knew that there was no hope,
Moreover, Crocodile had also understood. Callum had originally been teasing him all along ah.
Then, since that was the case, the two people only had to fight,
Although Callum had Armament Haki, which relatively restrained Crocodile's Logia-type Devil Fruit ability.
However, Crocodile was not a pushover.
"Clang!" With a forceful shake, Callum's Akatsuki was shaken open by Crocodile's golden hook.
"Not bad, as expected of one of the Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile, you're still quite powerful!" After being shaken away, the Akatsuki in Callum's hand was vibrating with a buzzing sound, and he could not help but praise.
"Shichibukai? It's just a false name. Moreover, being a Shichibukai is just to allow me to be a legal pirate." After listening to Callum's words of praise, Crocodile obviously did not care.
Indeed, Crocodile's purpose, was originally Alabasta. If it was not for the identity of a Shichibukai, based on Crocodile staying in Alabasta for so long, just the Navy would have taken action to capture Crocodile.
However, the current Crocodile was a Shichibukai, no matter what Crocodile did, the Navy would turn a blind eye.
Because, the Navy recognized the members of the Shichibukai,
With restraints, there would of course be good treatment.
"With me here, I'm afraid your plan is going to fail, Crocodile!" Callum suddenly said.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a rookie pirate with a bounty of one hundred million Berries, how dare you be so arrogant?" Crocodile after hearing the words that Callum had said, also felt that he had been amused by Callum.
"However, it's also understandable, rookies are generally full of inexplicable confidence, this is very normal. However, this kind of inexplicable confidence, will eventually harm you!"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if I lose, anyway I'm a rookie pirate, it's not embarrassing. What if I win by luck, then I would be the rookie pirate who defeated the Shichibukai Sand Crocodile, then wouldn't my wanted poster soar!" Callum said unceremoniously.
"Being said this by Callum, Crocodile was obviously somewhat speechless. It was as if no matter what the result was, he would be the one to suffer.
"Could it be that you are helping that old thing Cobra so much, because you got some benefits from Cobra?" Crocodile asked again.
"Of course, but it's not because of Cobra!" Callum said faintly.
