Patrick Redfield

After Kaze's explanation, Crocodile changed his mind as well and rose from the ground.

"Leaving this place with you is fine, but there are two things I need to make clear."

No matter what, people in the Pirate World were all remarkably tall.

Unlike the Naruto World, where people's builds were close to those in reality.

Once Crocodile stood up, he was well over two meters tall.

Combined with the scars all over his face, he naturally exuded an imposing presence.

Seeing him like that, Buggy behind Kaze could not help but shudder.

"Let's hear them." Kaze nodded slightly, feeling that he could first listen to Crocodile's thoughts.

"First, I'm not your subordinate."

"And I can never become your subordinate. Even if I break out of prison with you and leave Impel Down, it'll only be to head for the Summit War."

"My goal is Edward Whitebeard's head."

Crocodile spoke with firm conviction.

Both his tone and attitude carried the air of someone who had been owed money.

As he said this, he also glanced at Barrett from the corner of his eye.

Back when they were young, the two had clashed on the Grand Line.

They had never crossed paths again.

Now that their paths had intersected once more, it was to escape Impel Down together.
