The Pirate Garen

Now that the words have been spoken, Crocodile didn't waste any more time, but just cast a clear look at the secretary Robin who was standing by.

Robin immediately spread out a map of the Kingdom of Alabasta on the desk case knowingly:

Alabasta is a large island with a vast area. The San Dora River rushing down from the mountains in the center of the island is the source of life of this country and the natural boundary between east and west of Alabasta.

"West of the San Dora River, including the most economically developed desert urban rainland."

Crocodile tapped heavily on the map on the table with the golden hook of the prosthetic limb on his left hand, and his voice was full of the power of a generation of heroes:

"As long as you agree to cooperate, this half of the country can be your fief!"

Galen still couldn't react, but Weiwei's face suddenly changed:

She is the princess of Alabasta, so she naturally knows how attractive Crocodile's conditions are:

Among the vast land on the west bank of the San Dora River, the most elite oasis of the Alabasta Kingdom is concentrated, which is the more prosperous half of the kingdom.

Don't underestimate the land of this half of the country:

Unlike those small countries on the sea that dare to call themselves kingdoms with only one city, Alabasta has an extremely vast land area;

Moreover, Alabasta has always maintained a standing army of 600,000 people in accordance with historical traditions:

Such a large army can be maintained without militarism, which means that the total population of Alabasta is definitely a terrifying number calculated in tens of millions.

Half of the land, more than half of the population and the economy of Alabasta are countless times richer than those families that Galen worked so hard to save before.

In order to reach a cooperation with Galen, Crocodile actually gave up such a huge benefit and directly offered such an attractive condition.

Although Weiwei is willing to believe in Galen's qualities, such a big temptation of interests still makes Vivi inevitably start to feel nervous about the possible change in Galen's attitude.

Weiwei looked closely at Galen who was next to her, a little bit of hesitation and a little bit of fear quietly rose between her slightly frowning brows.

She could insist on sitting in front of her greatest enemy, Crocodile, because of Galen's promise to her.

And this promise is all based on Galen's "enthusiasm" as a knight of justice. If you think about it carefully, the foundation is as unstable as a castle in the air.

Once Galen was tempted by Crocodile's conditions, the so-called righteous heart was blinded by interests

Without her only support, Weiwei's whole world is on the verge of collapse.

Facing Weiwei's nervous gaze and Crocodile's expectant gaze, Galen did not respond, but just looked at the unfolded map of Alabasta without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking.

The tension and fear in Weiwei's heart gradually climbed to the extreme, and there were crystal tears in a pair of moving eyes.

The glorious image of Galen that has always remained in Vivi's heart gradually became distorted and gloomy under the test of interests.

Finally, Weiwei seemed to have finally made a difficult decision, and said to Galen beside her:

"Galen! You can't promise him!"

"The conditions"

Wei Wei paused, but still said those words that made her feel extremely painful:

"My royal father can also give it!"

"No matter what, Alabasta must not fall into the hands of a pirate!"

"ah?"

Galen was taken aback for a moment, before recovering from the map.

But Crocodile's expression sank, he finally discovered Galen's "true purpose" for bringing Weiwei here:

This is simply to find another No. 2 buyer who will compete with him and raise the price!

So, the sand crocodile, who was in a bad mood, sternly shouted at the restless Princess Weiwei:

"Shut up!"

"How could your father and king come up with my conditions?"

He said to Galen again:

"My sincerity has already been put here, do you still believe in the empty words of a yellow-haired girl?"

"Forehead"

Galen looked slightly stunned, and opened his mouth to express his position.

But the smile on Crocodile's face became more wanton, and the rough laughter interrupted Galen's unspoken words.

He stared at Weiwei closely, and made no secret of the malice in his words:

"Woman, what right do you have to speak in our negotiations? You can't represent your father!"

"And your stupid father will never have the courage of me!"

Weiwei's face froze, and her heart became more and more flustered:

Crocodile is right, he doesn’t feel bad about robbing other people’s things, he just gives it away;

But to ask her kind and old-fashioned father to succumb to the thief and give up half of the country? That is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Crocodile's promise may have hidden secrets and malicious intentions, but the conditions she proposed to restore Galen are definitely just a blank check.

It is self-evident who to choose between the two.

Weiwei clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands and rubbed them uneasily. The uncontrollable force in her hands made light blue blood vessels appear on the fair skin of her arms, and her whole body trembled unconsciously.

Seeing Vivi so nervous, Galen couldn't help being a little amused.

Galen put his hand lightly on Weiwei's tense arm to comfort her, but instead it made Weiwei, who was like a frightened bird, tremble all over.

Weiwei suddenly turned her head to look at Galen, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, and the entangled emotions in her eyes made Galen completely confused.

Galen had no choice but to return Weiwei with a kind smile, and opened his mouth to express his position, and then let Weiwei feel at ease.

However, his words were interrupted again.

Weiwei suddenly let out a long sigh, and said to Galen in a decisive tone:

"I have a way!"

"I have a way to ensure that my conditions are not empty words!"

For Weiwei at this moment, Galen is the only life-saving straw that can be grasped. No matter what the price, Weiwei cannot let him slip from her hands.

"Forehead?"

Galen continued to maintain his usual dazed state in this intense negotiation.

Weiwei suddenly grasped Galen's generous palm tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Galen, as long as you can help me protect Alabasta from pirates"

"I, I can"

Weiwei gritted her teeth tightly, and said a shocking ultimate condition: "Marry you!"

She recalled what she saw and heard in the territory of Galen in the Eastern Sea, and her confused eyes gradually became firm:

"As long as you marry me, this country will be handed over to you sooner or later."

"If it were you, at least the people of Alabasta would not suffer."

"What?"

Galen was dumbfounded.

Crocodile was even more dismayed by it, he didn't expect that yellow-haired girl who was not in his eyes would actually come up with this kind of killer:

Carving up Alabasta with Crocodile is seeking skin from a tiger, and high returns also come with high risks.

But if Princess Vivi agrees to marry Galen

Vivi is the only daughter of King Cobra and the sole legal heir to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

If you marry her, you will marry the whole country.

Not only do people gain both people and wealth, but they also steal the country and steal the name, which is justified, reasonable and legal, and it is simply a huge pie that fell from the sky.

Seeing such a bizarre development of the situation, Crocodile couldn't help gnashing his teeth with hatred for Galen who was still "pretending" to be innocent:

He was busy infiltrating the army, bribing officials, creating droughts, instigating rebellion, and buying people's hearts. The results of several years of busy work were not comparable to the two or three months the other party spent on that Princess Vivi.

How could such a good thing not happen to me?

Even with Crocodile's tyrannical mentality, he had to feel jealous towards Galen who easily won the fruits of victory.

But when he thought carefully about the age and appearance gap between the enemy and us, Crocodile also understood that he could not imitate Galen's routine.

Crocodile suddenly thought of the point mentioned in the intelligence:

Galen was able to gain control of the Kingdom of Goa because he had a loyal subordinate who married the only daughter of the old king and became the new King of Goa.

What a familiar routine, what a sinister method!

I heard that Princess Nand Kanet is also a noble, beautiful and famous lady, and she is well-known in the aristocratic circle of the entire East China Sea.

Crocodile was still a little curious before, why didn't Galen personally play in such a good thing, and instead wanted to indirectly control the Goa Kingdom through his subordinates, it turned out that...

It turned out that he was waiting here!

Crocodile fiercely gouged out Galen who was still "pretending" in front of him, and cursed Galen countless times in his heart furiously.

And even a little dizzy, Galen interpreted what a "black question mark.jpg" is with a vivid expression:

From the beginning of this negotiation to the present, he has not even said a word.

How did the situation become like this?
