I summon heroic spirits in the world of pirates

Crocodile opened his eyes, and the only thing that hit his mind was pain.

He opened his mouth, but without biting the familiar cigar, his vision was dim.

"Here is..." He felt his throat was dry as he spoke, which seemed to tell him that he had been asleep for a while.

"Prison in a warship." It was Smog who answered Crocodile. The navy seemed to be deliberately waiting for Crocodile to wake up, and then immediately answer the questions of this king of the Shichibukai.

"Navy..." Although the place was dark, Crocodile still recognized Smoker, "What do you mean? I think you don't have the power to arrest a King Shichibukai, right? White Hunter."

"If it was not long ago, I did not have the power and qualifications." Smoger said, "But I just received a notice from the government that Alabasta, as a government member country, has provided evidence of your crime. And I Some of the evidence collected has been accepted by high-level government officials. You should know what this means, Crocodile."

"..." Crocodile fell into silence.

"I don't know your real purpose, but even if you are one of the Shichibukai and want to destroy a government that joins a big country, then even if you are a Shichibukai, you can't tolerate it. What the government needs is face and credibility." Small Ge said, "It would be okay if you were in an undefeated position, but now you are defeated. The government has no obligation to protect you. Your next destination will be Impel Down, so just look forward to the rest of your life."

"...That group of people." Crocodile said slowly, "Will those guys take my place?"

Of course he was referring to Ritsuka and his team who defeated him.

"You don't think that those guys are cooperating with the princess of Alabasta to defeat you because of your position in the Shichibukai, right?" Smoker raised his eyebrows, "Maybe you are thinking too much. According to reports, I know that their fundamental purpose is just to make money, and this country happens to still have savings. That’s why they chose to defeat you, crush your purpose and get rewarded from the king. That’s all.”

After saying that, he left here, leaving Crocodile alone looking at the ceiling of the prison.

Smoker walked to the deck and looked into the distance. There were also warships sailing around him. In addition to capturing Crocodile, this operation also gained a large number of billionaires.According to the instructions issued by the government not long ago, during this period, the Navy will cooperate with the Alabasta army to clean up the remaining criminals in Baroque Studio.At the same time, the king will take this opportunity to improve the bad influence brought by Crocodile and re-establish his prestige.

Although this has nothing to do with Smoker, he is still a little emotional.

Because all this was not initiated and led by the navy or the government, but was brought about by a group of guys who were not very interesting in Smoker's eyes.

That group of guys are usually like restless fish, causing trouble wherever they swim, but the consequences of doing things are always good, so this group of fish seems to be able to cause trouble, but it also Not like a bad fish, but more like an unfettered enforcer of justice.

Perhaps this is why Smoker concealed the purpose that Ritsuka and others had spoken from the government.

"But the navy and the government are not airtight walls. This matter will definitely be known to people on the sea. What should you deal with next? Ritsuka."

The man smoked a cigar and watched the country shrinking against the ship.

……

Nicole Robin has an excellent ability to gather information, so she got the news not long after Crocodile was defeated.

In Rainland, this city that was heavily searched by the Navy and the King's Army has already seen a large number of people from the Baroque Studio discovered and arrested.

But Robin didn't panic, she was fully confident that she could escape.But on the contrary, several people in this room who are recovering from injuries are about to face the danger of arrest.

"I think it's over." Robin looked at the group of people. "The defeat of Mr. 0 means the collapse of Baroque Studio. The criminal organization that has lost its pillar has no future. I can bring you back from the edge of death." As for the last thing I can do for you, I won’t say anything whether you run away or wait to be arrested. So just let it go.”

She stood up, opened the door and walked out.

The senior agents summoned by Crocodile to intercept Ritsuka but failed were silent. The atmosphere was like the low pressure before a rainstorm, heavy and terrifying...

Robin successfully walked out of the rain, relying on the abilities he had developed over the years, but for a moment he felt a little confused.

The reason why she cooperated with Crocodile naturally had her own purpose, which was to take a look at the historical text hidden somewhere in Alabasta.

She does not covet Pluto, but simply wants to know what is recorded in the historical text here.That’s why we cooperated with Crocodile.

But he didn't expect that Crocodile would be defeated before this goal was achieved, so that Robin now doesn't know how to go forward.

Continue to lurk in this country?Or should we look for other historical texts?

She can't decide.

……

"Is that Nicole Robin?"

Suddenly, Robin heard someone calling her name.

Years of being on the run made her instantly alert. She crossed her arms and raised them to her chest, and Robin's eyes began to scan in all directions.

"Who?" Her voice was cold, but her first round of scanning didn't capture any targets.This made her feel a little scary, as if a ghost who knew her appeared in this desert.

"There is no need to be vigilant. I just came to see you for Master's commission."

The voice sounded again.

It sounded like the owner of the voice was nearby, but Robin couldn't find the owner of the voice.

"What commission?" Robin asked without letting down his guard.

"Master wants to know the content of this, can you please tell me?"

Robin saw a photo falling from the air. She was still looking for the owner of the voice and couldn't take her eyes away after glancing at the content of the photo.

The image in the photo is very clear, and the text on the stone tablet with its vicissitudes of history clearly emerges in the photo.

"History...text?!" Robin subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the photo.

"Who are you? How did you find this thing?" she couldn't help but ask.

"I just came here with a mission from Master. I just want to ask Miss Robin to explain the content of the text on it. I'm sorry that I can't tell you how to find this thing."

"As for who I am..."

"Miss Robin, please call me Hassan."
