Trash of the Seas
Seventy percent is enough to show how blindly confident Crocodile was in himself.
If Ye Chen really wanted to keep Crocodile, the chances wouldn't be 70%, but over 90%.
Putting all that aside, don't forget where you are. This is Marineford, the Marines' headquarters, the home of Crocodile. Even if the Marines really wanted to take action, Doflamingo and the others wouldn't be able to escape.
Crocodile, on the other hand, continues to pat himself on the back, claiming that because he is Logia Fruit user, he has the right to be arrogant.
Fortunately, Crocodile wasn't mindless, so he remained silent.
Then, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet again.
Ye Chen was reading the newspaper while drinking coffee, Xiong was reading the Bible while drinking cold water, and Doflamingo was sitting with his legs crossed, leaning back on the sofa, his eyes half-closed.
As for Crocodile, he was smoking a cigar, puffing out clouds of smoke.
"Jinpei Jinbe arrived at the Strait!"
"Dracule Mihawk has arrived!"
One by one, people began to arrive at the conference room.
Compared to the arrogance of Doflamingo and Crocodile, Jinbe Mihawk were much calmer.
Although the two remained calm, no one dared to provoke them, since none of those sitting there were ordinary people.
They sat on the sofas, and Ye Chen only glanced at Jinbe. The two didn't say a word, acting like complete strangers.
Mihawk, however, looked at Ye Chen and spoke.
"After the meeting, fight me again!"
Everyone looked up at Mihawk and Ye Chen, wondering what they were thinking.
"Fufufu, if I'm not mistaken, you three were gathered by this guy, right?"
Doflamingo looked at Jinbe, Kuma, and Mihawk.
"I'm very busy!" Ye Chen turned the page without looking up and directly rejected Mihawk's invitation.
"That's a pity."
With a cold expression, Mihawk remained silent.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, and faintly, some exclamations could be heard.
"Looks like a remarkable woman has arrived!"
Smoking a cigar, Crocodile listened to the roar outside the room, a ripple in his eyes.
"No matter what I have done wrong, you will all forgive me, because I am the most beautiful!"
They surged out, the conference room doors opened, and a perfect figure was revealed, followed by a large group of sailors with hearts in their eyes.
"Fufufu, the world's most beautiful woman."
Looking at the haughty woman at the conference door, a hint of amazement flashed in the eyes of the group, after all, there was a difference between the reports and the woman in person.
"Put away your allure."
A calm voice suddenly rang out, and Hancock, who had been so arrogant, was startled. Her gaze fell on the sofa, meeting those indifferent eyes.
Biting her lip, Hancock clenched her fists tightly, her gaze stubbornly fixed on Ye Chen.
"Interesting!"
Beside them, Doflamingo and the others watched this bizarre scene with amusement on their faces. Because of Ye Chen's words, Hancock really put away her charm, bringing the Marines who had been captivated back to their senses.
Ye Chen glanced at it briefly before looking away, as if the world's most beautiful woman wasn't as attractive as a newspaper.
Although Ye Chen saw anger, grievance, pain, and stubbornness in that woman's eyes, what did it matter to him? He wasn't affected at all.
With Hancock's arrival, only one of the seven remained.
The group sat around the sofa, each doing their own thing, but two of them kept their eyes fixed on Hancock.
It was a look of scorn, and it was completely undisguised, openly and frankly scrutinizing him.
Hancock showed no embarrassment at these gazes, simply observing them with indifference.
"Have you seen enough? You two bedbugs!"
Leaning against the sofa, Hancock crossed her legs, long and white, her mysterious place faintly visible, yet always just a little bit off.
"I wonder what it would feel like to have the world's most beautiful woman on top of me!"
Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring, provocatively blowing it towards Hancock.
"You can give it a try."
With a cold gaze, Hancock's eyes were sharp and icy.
"A woman should cling to a powerful man." Doflamingo stared at Hancock's white legs, his gaze hidden behind his sunglasses.
"I don't need another man like you who dies by my hand!"
Despite being provoked by Crocodile and Doflamingo, Hancock showed no signs of being at a disadvantage.
"She's a rose with thorns."
Regaining their composure, Crocodile and Doflamingo realized their words were merely empty threats; after all, the woman before them was no ordinary woman.
"The assembly time is almost here, who are the rest of you? Acting all high and mighty?"
Everyone waited for over ten minutes, and with the deadline fast approaching, the last person still hadn't arrived. This annoyed them. Did they think this person had such a high status? Did they not take them seriously?
Just then, the door was opened.
"Moonlight Moria has arrived."
"Hehehe, looks like I'm the only one missing!" A guy with a devilish appearance, dressed in Gothic art clothing, entered the office.
Everyone glanced at it and then ignored it.
"Everyone's here. When's the meeting? I'm really busy!"
"Wait!"
With a blank expression, Ye Chen didn't even raise his head.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes slowly began, and apart from Jinbe and Kuma, everyone else's faces began to darken.
"Is the Fufufu Navy trying to intimidate us?"
"You're wasting my time." Crocodile stomped his cigar on the ground, somewhat annoyed, stood up, and was about to leave.
"If you're unhappy, then get out. Once you step out of this room, I'll personally go find him later."
Overbearing and chilling, Ye Chen picked up his coffee, took a sip, and stared at Crocodile as if he were looking at a dead man.
Doflamingo, who was about to stand up, sat back down.
Moria narrowed his eyes, but ultimately did not get up.
As for Kuma, Jinbe, Hancock, Dracule, they all remained seated without moving, clearly showing great patience.
Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, the conference room door opened again, and Sengoku and Tsuru walked in one after the other, each holding documents.
"It seems the garbage from the sea has made its presence felt!"
Adjusting his glasses, Sengoku glanced at the others indifferently, then walked to the conference table not far from the sofa and sat down at the head of the table.
"You idiots, time for a meeting!"
"Oh my, the Fleet Admiral is something else!"
"The Buddha Sengoku"
The group then left the sofa and sat down around the conference table, except for Ye Chen, who remained seated on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading the latest news reports.
"These are the specific rules for the Shichibukai. Sign if you agree, leave if you disagree!"
Without further ado, stacks of documents were laid out in front of everyone.
The meeting did not last long, ending in two hours, and from that day forward, the Shichibukai were officially established.
