Chapter 347: Underworld Armies and Hidden Alliances
Starfish World, Mary Geoise.
"Crocodile, that bastard... he acted without authorization!"
Nusjuro frowned in obvious disgust as he read the report delivered by Marshal Raymond.
The document detailed Crocodile’s activities in the Land of Wind and Sunagakure within the Shinobi World.
"But his actions have been effective."
Ju Peter crossed one leg over the other while holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hand.
"Using intelligence far beyond what most people in the Shinobi World can grasp, a mysterious identity, and overwhelming power, he’s constructed a web of lies that won’t easily be exposed in a short time. With that, he’s gained Sunagakure’s trust and seized control over the Land of Wind."
"This way, we don’t even need to deploy a large force. Just a few high-level combatants are enough to establish the Land of Wind as our Shinobi World base of operations and go to war against other nations and villages."
"Even if something unexpected happens down the line, the losses will be minimal. And we don’t have to worry about the transport efficiency of small-scale Dimensional Gates. You could say it’s a near-perfect plan."
As he spoke, Ju Peter’s eyes glowed with admiration.
"This Crocodile is not only strong—he’s a strategic asset as well. If you don’t like him, just hand him over to me. His methods seem far more suited to Cipher Pol."
