"Boss, are we making a move against these people?"
Crocodile lit a cigar, took a puff, and blew out a smoke ring. Leaning back in his golden chair, he looked every bit the big shot, completely in control.
As for the forces behind these people—the Celestial Dragons, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and so on—he didn't care about them at all.
