I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

"Vivi, you and Luffy and the others go first, Nami! Wait a minute!"

"We can talk about it later. The most urgent thing now is..."

"There's an opportunity to make a fortune, do you want it?"

"Ahem! Vivi, you and Luffy should go stop the rebels first. Crocodile has been detained by the navy now, and it's raining, so it should be fine."

……

After Zoro defeated Crocodile, it rained all over Alabasta, but the key that Sanji found from Crocodile turned out to be fake.

But Zoro had a solution. He went into the sea and chopped down all the banana crocodiles, and then found Mr. 3 who was swallowed by the crocodile.

He was forced to make a key out of wax and released Luffy, his two companions and Smoker.

Zoro was indeed coveting this weapon made of seastone - the Juuteu, but considering that this guy was Tashigi's immediate superior and had just offered to help, he returned the Juuteu. The main reason was that the entire cage was made of seastone, and he only needed to get a railing.

Smoker was also quite reasonable and said that he would not make things difficult for the Straw Hat Pirates today, and then he left the VIP room.

The Straw Hat Pirates were also rushing to stop the rebels.

At this time, Zoro called out to Nami. It was for no other reason. Before he comprehended Haki, this seastone weapon was indeed useful. He had to find a way to get a seastone stick to protect himself. However, as a person with poor direction, he was worried that he would get lost if he went alone, so he left Nami behind.

"Zoro~ What kind of opportunity to make a fortune are you talking about?" Looking at the people walking away, Nami's eyes were full of dollar signs.

"That seastone cage is worth a fortune."

"But I just tried and couldn't break it."

"That's easy. I'll beat up the employees here first and violently take over the casino. You can find some craftsmen to tear it down. Then we'll go find Weiwei and come back to get it. How about that?"

"Great idea! There must be a lot of Baileys in this casino."

"They're all yours! But I want a seastone stick as a weapon." Zoro said straightforwardly.

"No! All the money must be given to Vivi. Alabasta has suffered such a big disaster, it must need a lot of money." Nami was out of character.

Seeing Zoro's shocked expression, Nami closed her money-obsessed eyes and raised her head proudly: "I only want the 1 million that I deserve."

? That's fine.

So according to the plan, the two went out to ask who the senior management of the casino were, but found that they had been controlled by the navy.

"Hey! Smoker! What are you doing surrounding this casino?" Zoro realized that something was wrong.

"Crocodile has been arrested on suspicion of a crime. Naturally, we have to seize the property under his name." Before Smoker could speak, Tashigi next to him answered first.

"Seal off?" Zoro widened his eyes. The original plot didn't mention such a thing.

"Do you have anything else to say? Roronoa." Smoker held the cigar in his mouth indifferently.

Damn, why do I feel a little itchy?

"Hey, Smoker, you have to understand that it was me who defeated Crocodile, and your navy didn't contribute. So, you take him back in exchange for military merit, and I won't tell anyone else what happened, and just consider it as you defeated him; the property under his name belongs to me, and we will return it to the Kingdom of Alabasta. This will be good for both you and me." Zoro began to negotiate.

"I finally understand why Tashigi hates you so much, Roronoa!" Smoker stared at Zoro fiercely: "Do you think I would covet this kind of credit?"

Tashigi, standing beside her, looked like someone finally understood her. She said indignantly, "Roronoa, you underestimate our navy. This is simply unforgivable!"

"what?"

"You defeated Crocodile. I will report the truth to the Marine Headquarters. You can only wait for a bounty to be placed on your head and endure endless hunting! Similarly, as for returning the Kingdom of Alabasta, I will strongly recommend it to the headquarters. Therefore, you cannot take a single cent of the property here with you!"

"What!?" Zoro turned into a fishman and said, "You want to fight?!"

Smoker sneered, "You don't have seastone weapons right now, and your bucket won't be enough to deal with the smoke. You'd better get out of here before I change my mind."

Diuka, you're just going to burn the bridge after crossing it! Nami, please hold me back a little, I'm afraid I can't help myself.

However, Nami looked indignant: "Go Zoro!"

Zoro was helpless in the face of Smoker's ability and could only utter a harsh word: "Smoker, you're showing off, right? If you weren't Tashigi's boss, I'd slap you in the face, believe it or not."

"what!?"

"Nami, run!"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Zoro pulled Nami and ran away.

Tashigi, who was originally confused, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw Zoro running away in panic.

Ding! Your funny words and actions successfully made Goddess No. 5 laugh, rewarding you with +3 love points.

This is also possible? You are really a dog-licking system.

"Hey! Why are you running? Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea are no match for you. You're just a smoker. There's such a big casino here! There must be countless Baileys." Nami was very unwilling.

"That Smoker is the user of the Smoke Fruit, I can't kill him. Forget it, let's go after Vivi and the others." Zoro explained helplessly.

"Such a huge sum of money, and it's gone just like that!" Nami was extremely depressed.

"Stop complaining and go after Luffy and the others."

"They moved so quickly. It only took a short while and they disappeared."

"You show me the way and I'll carry you." Zoro wanted to fly over using the Moon Step.

"No!" Nami said with disgust: "You just made an excuse because of Yan Nan, that boss of Dashigi. Did you harass her again?"

It has something to do with you? Do you think you are Sanji?

"If you weren't too weak and walked too slowly, who would be willing to carry you?" The straight man raised his eyebrows.

"What did you say!?"

Just as the two were arguing, a voice came from behind:

"Are you two going to Aruba? I'll give you a ride."

The two turned around and saw that the person was wearing an Arab headscarf, with dark purple four-pointed star makeup painted on his eye sockets, a white robe with many black four-pointed patterns on the robe and headscarf, and two orange necklaces.

"I'm Peru, the adjutant of the Alabasta Kingdom Guard. I received a letter from Princess Vivi and rushed here. Unfortunately, I was defeated by a woman. I heard your conversation with the navy just now. Thank you for defeating Crocodile." Peru explained his identity to the two.

"That's great! But how are you going to take us there?" Nami was very happy.

"I am the user of the Bird-Bird Fruit." After saying that, he switched to flight mode and turned into a giant falcon.

"Just take care of that rookie." Zoro also showed a look of disgust.

"What did you say!?"

Ding! Your words successfully angered Girlfriend #3, awarding you +3 Love Points.

"You two should stop arguing. This is an urgent matter. Let's catch up with the princess first."
