Crocodile's low voice made Roy unable to resist throwing a punch at the ceiling.
He used pen and paper to record the information Crocodile had hidden as a contingency.
Every word in it held immense value to Roy.
If Crocodile managed to escape, then everything Roy had recorded would naturally become worthless paper.
But if Crocodile was captured by Aokiji, then all of these channels would belong to Roy.
Crocodile's business channels throughout Alabasta and the surrounding seas, built up over the past few years, were an enormous fortune in Roy's eyes.
As Crocodile agreed to this deal,
these channels would ultimately accelerate the growth of Roy's forces.
Setting everything else aside, just the information network run by Baroque Works' assassins
was enough to let Roy take a bite out of the fat meat of the underground world in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Very good. I'm very pleased that you agreed to my terms, Mr. Crocodile.
I trust you won't regret this deal. At the same time, I hope you can escape, so that this deal never comes to pass."
He offered Crocodile his hypocritical blessings.
Then Roy's tone changed.
"Of course, if you are unfortunately captured by Aokiji, Mr. Crocodile, then please remember what I'm about to say.
In the not-too-distant future, Impel Down will suffer an attack.
The attacker may be a young man wearing a straw hat, or he may be a rough-looking, dark-skinned fat man with a few missing teeth.
Of course, the chances of it being the dark-skinned fat man are much greater. If you meet him in Impel Down, he will be your hope of getting out.
Remember, no matter what conditions he offers, agree to them first, Mr. Crocodile.
You can go back on your word after you get out.
