Hawk Eyes remained unmoved.
"Crocodile, do you think I would trust you?"
"Trust? Aren't you mistaken?"
Crocodile burst out laughing.
"When it comes to being unable to trust others, you and I are alike. We in Cross Guild don't need to trust each other, either. We only came together for our shared interests!"
"Hawk Eyes, Cross Guild's ultimate goal is to build a utopia free from the control of any power."
"..."
Crocodile spoke at length with Hawk Eyes about their dreams.
The others had also squared off.
"Jinbe, you bastard!"
Enemies saw red when they met.
Moria stared at Jinbe, recalling the scene during the Paramount War when Jinbe had nearly smashed him apart with a single punch.
Now, the same situation played out again.
The zombie soldiers he led had all been drenched in seawater by Jinbe. They wailed as they spat out their shadows and turned back into corpses.
He didn't have much stock left!
During his battle with Straw Hat, almost all the shadows he controlled had escaped. Gathering that many shadows again would take a long time.
Jinbe remained calm.
"Moria, relying on outside power won't make you stronger. If you haven't changed, this battle will end the same way."
"Don't get cocky!"
Moria flew into a rage and swung his giant scissors down at Jinbe.
Not far away, another pair of enemies met.
Doflamingo kept both hands in his pockets, his thuggish grin brimming with arrogance. "Fufufufu, Luo, are you going to fight me?"
"Joker!"
Luo drew Kikoku, his eyes icy.
His hatred over Corazon was the one thing he could never forget. After so many years, he finally stood before the man.
"Wait, Doffy!"
One of the five Marine Vice Admirals leading the force intervened in the battle that was about to begin.
