49 Deceiving The Temporary Ship Doctor

Basire didn't pay attention to Crocus's micro-expressions. He was just a little curious as to why this Pirate King's ship doctor could become the keeper of the Twin Capes Lighthouse in an upright manner.

Didn't the Marine put a bounty on him?

But he was the ship doctor of the Roger Pirates for years, so there is no way he hasn't been discovered by the Marines yet.

Whether it was the battle with the Golden Lion Shiki's air fleet or the three-day and three-night fierce battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, Crocus participated in them all.

Besides, the Roger Pirates are the focus of the World Government. So how could Crocus not be exposed?

"How did a big shot like you manage to work as a lighthouse keeper here without being hunted by the World Government?"

Basire asked with some doubts. Anyway, he had been with the Barto Club for two years and has been a pirate for a month or two. And he had never seen a reward order for Crocus. For a crew member of the Roger Pirates to not have a bounty order, it seems really weird, a bit suspicious even.

"Do you really know me?"

Hearing Basire's question, Crocus also showed a serious expression. He felt that the young pirate had recognized his identity.

"Yes, I know a little bit about you and your former crew, I also know about the Rumbar Pirates."

Basire had just finished speaking. After hearing the name of the Rumbar Pirates, the island whale Laboon became excited again, and Crocus had to constantly comfort the excited whale.

"You even know about the Rumbar Pirates, it seems you are really not simple!"

Crocus said a little solemnly, because not only did this young man know how to use Haki, but he also knew the Rumbar Pirates from more than fifty years ago, which really shocked him.

You must know that back then, even the Roger Pirates had not heard much about the Rumbar Pirates. This was a pirate group from a previous era. When Brook and the others disappeared, Roger was just a fledgling.

"Your own identity is even less simple than me. You are even more extraordinary."

"Back then, you boarded that pirate ship for three years in search of traces of the Rumbar Pirates, but in the end you still couldn't find any clues about Brook and his crew."

"I wonder if you can get on my pirate ship again now. I can definitely help you find Brook. You can even take Laboon with you."

"Maybe you can become an official crew member of a Legendary Pirate group for the second time!"

Basire said with confidence, and the ambition revealed in his words surprised Crocus. This guy also wants to become the Pirate King?

"Kid! Do you know the consequences of irritating me by talking nonsense? Even the Roger Pirates couldn't find Brook, so why should I believe that you can find him!"

Crocus no longer tried to hide his secrets from Basire, and directly showed his cards, acquiescing that he was indeed a crew member of the Roger Pirates.

It would be great if Basire knew the real news about the Rumbar Pirates, otherwise, he would let this new pirate group see the Pirate King's ship doctor's strength!

Feeling Crocus' aura becoming cold again, the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates nervously clutched their weapons, while Eldoraggo and Eric were ready to activate their Devil Fruit ability at any time.

"The Rumbar Pirates have long been destroyed, but Brook has been successfully resurrected due to his Devil Fruit, and is now trapped somewhere in Paradise."

"I wonder if you would like to take Laboon and follow us to find him?"

"After finding him, you can choose if you want to leave or stay."

"But in the meantime, you will become our temporary ship's doctor and guide us in the practice of two-color Haki."

"Of course, when we find a new ship doctor, you will also help to train him or her."

Basire sensed that Crocus's strength was putting a lot of pressure on him. He was worthy of being the ship's doctor of the Roger Pirates.

He has been on the Pirate King's ship for three years and should be stronger than most crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates after the timeskip.

Even if he doesn't have the strength of an Admiral, he should at least have the strength of a Vice Admiral, and ordinary supernovas can't defeat this old man.

And as a doctor, Basire didn't believe that Crocus could only cure diseases and not know how to use some poisons to fight as well.

After hearing what Basire said, the island whale Laboon was a little depressed and a little excited. It didn't expect that the Rumbar Pirates had been wiped out, but now it was eager to set off immediately to find Brook who was still alive.

At this moment, a cow sea beast rushed down from the Reverse Mountain channel in a daze, and directly bumped into Laboon, almost knocking himself out, and a big bump appeared on the cow's head.

It took a while to wake up, and then swam to the Dreadnaught Saber in tears, as if it was looking for comfort.

"Kid, give me a range and time! Otherwise, I won't leave Twin Capes so easily! My old bones can't stand deception and long voyages!"

Crocus glanced at this silly sea cow, then narrowed his eyes and said to Basire, he didn't expect to hear the news about Brook at this age. It really makes people unable to retire with peace of mind!

But feeling Laboon's excitement, he had to fulfill this whale's wish.

Then he will just have to work hard again. Let's just hope this guy isn't just trying to cheat him.

"Within a year, I will definitely give you an answer within Paradise, without entering the New World!"

Basire showed a smile, as long as Crocus stayed in the Big Daddy Pirates for a year, he would be able to squeeze all the benefits from Crocus and surpass him in strength!

"If it's just these conditions, I can promise you."

"But you can't ask me anything about the Roger Pirates unless I want to tell you myself!"

After Crocus thought about it, he agreed to Basire's conditions. As long as it was within the first half of the Grand Line, it seemed acceptable. It was not as dangerous as the New World. He also had some confidence that he could deal with the dangers of Paradise.

And in one year, even if this guy is lying, he can just leave and wouldn't have lost much time.

However, if he really deceives him, then he will even call Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago to help him kill this deceitful guy!

"Then welcome aboard, old man Crocus. I promise you and Laboon that we will find Brook."

Basire jumped on the whale's head, shook hands with the temporary ship doctor respectfully, and patted Laboon's mountain-like head comfortingly.

"After we find Brook, I hope you won't interfere with our whereabouts."

Crocus once again reminded emphatically, because he could feel that the atmosphere of this pirate group was not as harmonious as the Roger Pirates.

"Of course, but I will try to gain your approval."

Basire smiled and said, a Grand Line veteran successfully boarded the ship. Even if Crocus will not participate in the battles, his medical skills, navigation experience, and two-color Haki experience are all a good asset to have at hand.

And the sea cow Momoo below heard that his captain had recruited a 400-meter large island whale, and his heart suddenly felt cold. Was he going to be unemployed again?

He just managed to go through a topsy-turvy mountain and will already become unemployed?

The crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates were also frightened by Basire's trick. Their captain seemed to have deceived a great person.

This old man is a member of the Pirate King Roger's crew? Such a great person is going to be their ship's doctor?

This temporary ship doctor has an amazing background!
