Pleasant Cooperation

(Happy Cooperation)

Ye Han did not interrupt Crocodile's thoughts. Crocodile was a smart man; that much was clear from the anime. Destroying a kingdom was not difficult for one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

For example, Donquixote Doflamingo could practically destroy an entire country with a single Birdcage. But what benefit was there in destroying a country? Money? Most people kept their money in banks, so the gains would be limited. Back on Earth, he had never heard of a country starting a war just to rob banks. And if that country happened to have relatives of some major power, the trouble would never end.

The point of occupying a country was to continuously draw money from its people, gain more talented individuals, and turn one's territory into an impregnable stronghold. That would make becoming the Pirate King far more likely.

Ye Han gave Skinny Monkey a look, and Skinny Monkey brought over a Transponder Snail, directly connecting to Gecko Moria's signal.

Soon, Gecko Moria's voice came through the Transponder Snail. "So it's Uchiha Ye Han. What do you want this time?"

"I'm with Crocodile right now, discussing what I mentioned to you last time."

"Gehihihihi~! You really are impatient. Crocodile, was it? I'm Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, just like you. Although we became Seven Warlords together, we've never actually met."

Crocodile spoke. "Gecko Moria, I've heard of you."

Gecko Moria said, "What do you think of the proposal this kid Uchiha Ye Han made? Though not a word this brat says can be trusted, the proposal itself isn't bad."

Ye Han said unhappily, "Hey, hey~! Am I really that untrustworthy? There's never been any rumor outside that I don't keep my word."

"You may not say it, but you do it!"
