Vivi was utterly stunned.
What were these people talking about?!
Going to take down one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Crocodile?!
And so casually?!
Even for a great pirate with a bounty over 100 million Beri, weren't they underestimating the Warlords far too much?!
Seeing the relaxed smile on Rowen's face, Vivi bit her lip hard.
