Hearing Crocus's words, Basire's eyes showed a trace of thought, as if he was considering the chances of finding the sound shell that Crocus mentioned in Laboon's stomach after killing Crocus!
"Kid, you can get so many things with just one piece of information from Brook. You should be satisfied and don't do anything too extreme. An old friend of mine will come to me to talk about old times in a while."
Crocus was still holding on to the barrier ball, preventing Basire from shrinking it. He could feel the oxygen in the air beginning to decrease, but soon he felt the shrinking force of the barrier ball disappearing, but he still could not forcefully break through.
"You are really an old man who can see through people's hearts."
Basire grinned and said, Crocus's so-called friend should be someone strong if he's using him to threaten him, maybe it was Scopper Gaban, the pirate king's left hand.
However, Basire feels that it is indeed worth it to exchange a piece of information from Brook in exchange for Silvers Rayleigh's Haki training instructions.
But now, how can both parties ensure that the transaction is successfully completed securely?
As for the things in Crocus's residence in Twin Capes, they have already been robbed by the Big Daddy Pirates, so naturally they belong to them.
"Now trade your life and Brook's news for that recording and your Haki experience, including the way to use Haki Emission.
Of course, no one knows the authenticity of the Haki training methods or the authenticity of Brook's news. They can only bet on the other party's pirate character. As for whether to believe it or not, it depends on their own judgment.
"Anyway, I agree to this deal, but I just don't know if you are willing to believe in my character."
Basire thinks that in this kind of pirate deal, do some despicable pirates really need to keep their promises?
However, people who often go back on their words will probably have little chance of awakening Conqueror's Haki.
This may be what Charlotte Linlin meant when she said that pirates must also be moral!
Only those who have reached a certain level of haki will know the importance of this kind of 'morality'.
And if some people, after awakening Conqueror's Haki, become a sinister villain or are afraid of being beaten, and lose their original beliefs, their haki may no longer grow, or even disappear.
"Although you are cruel and cold-blooded, I believe in you and I know that you are not such a man with evil intentions!"
"If I really misjudged you, I can only admit I was wrong."
"Of course, this also proves that you are nothing more than that. And sooner or later, you will fall under the tide of this era."
Crocus said lightly, he had experienced Basire's look from Bullet. This kind of person will gain fame sooner or later, but it will definitely be bad fame.
"Haha! Although you have already broken your promise once, I still choose to believe you, old-timer!"
Basire directly dispelled the barrier ball and released Crocus. He looked fearlessly at the old guy who could explode at any time.
"You have half an hour. Of course, you can also let Laboon take you to escape without knowing Brook's whereabouts."
Basire chuckled and said, although he was eager to get the Emission Haki training method, there was nothing he could do if Crocus wanted to run away.
However, being able to steal most of Crocus's stuff isn't a loss, it's just a lower return.
"Hmph! For an arrogant person like you, I hope you can escape Marine's encirclement and suppression!"
Crocus snorted, jumped on Laboon and disappeared. Back then, even a man as strong as Douglas Bullet was surrounded by Marine's Buster Call, and then defeated and arrested.
A pirate group as brutal and flamboyant as the Big Daddy Pirates probably won't be able to go far before they're suppressed by the marine.
After some time passed, Crocus appeared on top of Laboon again.
"Come on! Come up and trade!"
Crocus stood quietly on top of Laboon's body, waiting for Basire to come up. In addition to ensuring his own safety, he also wanted to see how much courage Basire had.
Basire chuckled, and a barrier ladder appeared, extending directly from Twin Capes to Laboon's back.
"Old man, are you testing me? Or are you afraid of me?"
Basire slowly walked up to Crocus and showed a dangerous smile.
"Stop talking nonsense! This is the tone dial with the sound of Rayleigh's teaching, and this is my Haki training experience. Tell me the whereabouts of Brook, and this will be yours!"
Crocus said in a bad tone with a shell in his left hand and some papers in his right hand.
As a doctor, he likes to record all kinds of knowledge, even this Haki practice is the same.
At the same time, Crocus pressed the bell, and a magnetic voice came out, it was Rayleigh's voice seriously teaching someone.
"Haha! It's so refreshing! After Brook's resurrection, he has been lost in the thick fog in the Florian Triangle. If you can encounter a ghost ship, maybe Brook is on it!"
Basire laughed and said truthfully, then took the sound shell and the training manual, and then walked slowly back to the shore on the barrier stairs.
Basire decided to tell the truth. He had never awakened the Conqueror's Haki, perhaps because he was too careful and calculating, and ultimately lacked the courage to do so.
After Laboon heard about Brook's whereabouts, he immediately became excited, and the sea surface was churning violently.
"It turns out to be there!! Laboon, be quiet! Let's leave first!"
Crocus disappeared on Laboon's back again, and Laboon quickly dived to the bottom of the sea.
On the shore of Twin Capes, the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates did not expect that recruiting a temporary ship doctor would develop into this.
"Captain Basire, have we offended the ship doctor of the Roger Pirates?"
Nami asked a little timidly. The fierce battle between Basire and Crocus made them dumbfounded.
And Zoro also felt his weakness again. Is this the true power of Haki?
Seeing the large and small craters on the ground, these were all directly blasted by Crocus with Haki. Even huge rocks were directly blasted into powder.
Even Kuro felt an invisible terrifying pressure on his body. The danger of the Grand Line seemed to be far beyond their imagination.
"Haha! What can the Roger Pirates do to us? They are just remnants of an old era, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"And don't let this shock you, there aren't many pirates in the Grand Line who know how to use Haki."
"What you just experienced is how battles are in the New World!"
Basire held the tone dial shell and the papers. Although he let Crocus and Laboon go, at this moment he felt the pride in his heart filling his entire body.
This may be due to the excitement of finding the training method of advanced Haki, or it may be due to another change in his mentality.
Another thing that he noticed is that after throwing Sandai Kitetsu away his thoughts became clearer and felt more relaxed.
Even if he offended the Pirate King's ship doctor now, and he might suffer retaliation by the remnants of Roger's pirate group, he was not afraid.
What about the remnants of the Roger Pirates? What about the revolutionary army? What about the Marines?
He just needs to beat them all!
Even if he dies on this road, he won't hesitate!
