Chapter 850: Lao Sha, do you want Pluto or not?
Robin bit his lip, feeling angry and furious, his chest heaving, and the eyes under his hat stared at Kira, as if he was roaring and growling, as if he saw a villain who was guilty of a heinous crime.
“You bastard…”
However, Kira ignored Robin's resentful look and turned to look at the other two: "By the way! Levi, Lucy, you two should follow Robin and form an 'ancient language study group'. Try to learn her ancient language in the shortest possible time so that you can work as translators in the future."
"Huh?! Us?"
The two girls were stunned and stared at Kira blankly. After receiving his nod of confirmation, their faces immediately drooped, "Why would we do that?!"
Kira spread his hands and sighed, "There's nothing we can do. You two are the only academic masters here. We can't ask Natsu or Gajeel to learn, right? They can't even recognize all the common characters in Ishgar..."
"This... okay." After some hesitation, the two finally agreed.
Even though she was dissatisfied with Kira's "falsification of history", Robin was still happy that someone was willing to learn ancient languages, so she didn't give a cold shoulder to Levi and Lucy. Of course, this was mainly because after several exchanges, she found that these two sisters were really willing to learn and really had talent.
"Ancient writing... sounds very interesting!"
For Leibi, who loves reading, studying history and writing, learning ancient languages is not something to complain about. She even feels a little excited and happy.
"Really...what's so fun about this ?" Lucy said with a frustrated look on her face, reluctantly.
Kira understood Lucy's emotions very well. He had the same expression when he was learning a new programming language, but he had no choice.
Everyone in the entire "Fairy Tail" knows that Levi and Lucy have a very high ability to learn words. Compared to them, even Felide's talent is much worse. It's just that Felide is strong and uses ritual magic, which gives people the illusion that he is also very knowledgeable in this area.
Despite this, these three are still the top three in this profession in the guild. Even Kira admits that he is not as talented as these three in this field. After all, his talent lies in magic, not in learning texts.
Ancient languages are very complex, and learning them is as difficult as learning a programming language. It is not something that can be mastered overnight. Kira has his own things to do, so he does not have enough time. Otherwise, he would like to join this "ancient language study group" and experience what it feels like to have three study partners...
Looking at the three girls who had gathered together, talking and laughing around a thick book, Kira couldn't help licking his lips, with infinite yearning in his eyes.
After everyone left, Kira, in accordance with the principle of treating prisoners well, untied the iron box that trapped Crocodile, allowing him to finally breathe.
Generally speaking, people with special abilities will lose all their strength when soaking in sea water, and will go into shock or even die after a long time. Fortunately, Crocodile has only been soaking in sea water for less than three hours since he was captured, and in this short period of time, he has exploded several times with the help of anger and broken his physical limits, so he is still sober now.
After breaking free, Crocodile lay on the ground for a long time before finally asking, "Who are you?"
"We are wizards, the terminators of the old era and the initiators of the new era. Anyone who stands in our way will become our enemy. We will use all means to eliminate them and restore peace to this sea!"
If one ignores the identity of the wizards and someone who doesn't know the truth hears these words, they would probably think they are a group of revolutionary soldiers.
Crocodile snorted coldly: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
Although it was only an hour, sometimes some people's intuition is so accurate. He has already seen that Kira is a fun-loving person who is eager to create chaos and stir up trouble.
He doesn't care about One Piece, the Age of Discovery, the Four Emperors of the Navy, ancient weapons, or historical truths. The only real goals are to find partners and stir up trouble. Even though he is very powerful, he has not lost his conscience, and in his heart he is as kind and innocent as those young boys who have not experienced the world.
Overall, he looks like a well-educated teenager who is in the rebellious stage of adolescence.
"Fuck! How could I lose to such a person? Wait! I don't think I lost to him? Then it's okay..."
"Whether you believe it or not, you have nothing in this country right now, and everyone wants to kill you. Both the Royal Army and the Straw Hat Pirates want to beat you up, so your only way out is to pack up your things and run away while there is still some time. To be honest, it's really pitiful for a Shichibukai to end up like this..."
Crocodile was shocked: How dare this guy say such a thing?!
Isn't it because of you guys who came to my house and beat me up for no reason that I am now like this? You are still mocking me now. Are you all evil-minded? I was wrong. This guy is not a well-educated rebellious teenager. He is a contemporary inheritor of the Thick Black School!
"The Royal Army is just a bunch of trash! They have no brains and no strength, and they can be manipulated at will! As for the Straw Hat Pirates... where did those little brats come from? How could I, the great Crocodile, be afraid of these people?"
"Even though you're in such a mess, you still sound quite confident when you say this..."
Kira complained, lit a cigar and handed it to him, "Actually, I'm still very optimistic about you, Crocodile! You are ambitious, smart, courageous, and good-looking. Of course, the key is that you have a mysterious past. Although you are still a little lacking in strength, your natural abilities... to be honest, are enough to make a name for yourself in the sea. There are only a handful of people like you in the entire ocean. It's a pity that you have become a stepping stone for a hacker!"
"So... do you want to come and do it with me?"
Hearing this sudden invitation, and seeing the serious look in the eyes of the person in front of him, Crocodile's hand that had just taken the cigar trembled, and then his face became furious. At this moment, he even doubted whether he had heard it wrong. It was true that he had lost, but he was not desperate enough to be inferior to others, especially to such a little kid!
"Want to recruit me? What makes you think you can do that? My strength? There are so many powerful people in this world. How can I be..."
"Because I know where 'Pluto' is!" Kira calmly dug his ear hole with his little finger, casually interrupting Crocodile's indomitable spirit.
"What did you say?!" Crocodile's eyes instantly doubled in size, his face changed drastically, and his brain kept shaking like a bell hit by a stick.
What did this guy just say? Pluto? He knows where Pluto is? Is it possible? These guys seem very mysterious, maybe they do know some secrets that ordinary people don’t know, but if the matter involves the ancient weapon ‘Pluto’…
Crocodile narrowed his eyes, a plan came to his mind, and he snorted coldly: "Do you think I will believe it? Unless..."
"In Wano Country!"
“…”
I haven't even used my normal attack yet, why did this guy use his ultimate skill directly?
If you really want to win me over, shouldn't you wait until I agree to your terms, or even sign a contract, and then ask me to do three, four, five, six, seven things for you, and keep delaying the time until I really lose my patience before telling me the answer? If you tell me the answer now, I can completely ignore you and go get the thing directly!
If you were a businessman, you would have lost everything if you negotiated like this! You are really a brat, you don’t know anything and you don’t have any experience at all…
Crocodile sneered in his heart, took a puff of the cigar comfortably, and exhaled. He seemed to have finally broken free from the feeling of powerlessness from being soaked in sea water, and his brain gradually became clear.
Wait! Where did this kid just say "Pluto" is? ? Wano Country? ? I remember that country has always pursued a policy of isolation, and it seems to be Kaido's territory...
For a moment, Crocodile frowned and fell into confusion.
