Chapter 281 Melee(1/2)
"Sunday."
Tang Sen squinted his eyes and looked at the woman standing on the carriage.
"Nicole Robin?"
This woman, known as the "Son of the Devil," has the rare ability to read ancient texts and will later join the Straw Hats.
Tang Sen is very interested in this person.
Of course, it is not because of the other party's ability to read ancient literature. Tang Sen does not need this ability, because he can understand any text.
What he needs is the other party's management ability and understanding of the dark world.
Nicole Robin was saddled with a bounty of tens of millions of Baileys when she was a child, so that for twenty years after escaping from her hometown, she hid in the underground world to avoid being tracked by the navy and bounty hunters.
, relying on his clever mind and plucky tactics to survive to this day.
Betrayal and being betrayed are just daily life for Nicole Robin. Such a character is very suitable to be her agent in the dark world.
Of course, there is another character Tang Sen who is also very interested.
MR.2, von Klee.
In the original work, this is a ladyboy who attaches great importance to love and justice. He developed a friendship with the Straw Hats after a brief encounter. In order to help the Straw Hats escape, he was eventually captured by the navy and sent to the Undersea Prison. In the follow-up journey,
He also played a great role in Fei's prison robbery.
Tang Sen doesn't value the other party's love and righteousness, he values the other party's ability.
Superman type, imitation fruit.
He has a bold idea - if the other person turns into himself, can other people be given the mark of the Dark Lord?
My previous experiment of pretending to be someone else to harvest loyalty has failed, because the conditions for granting the Mark of the Dark Lord require clear direction, and it cannot be someone who originally existed in this world. But if Von Clay becomes himself, other people's
Doesn’t the directivity point to oneself?
The results of this idea have yet to be tested, but the premise is that you need to gain Von Clay's loyalty first.
"Hey! Don't be impulsive, Luffy!"
Usopp grabbed Luffy who was about to rush forward and shouted: "There are six people on the other side!"
"There are seven of us!" Luffy shouted.
"Eight!" Chopper raised his hoof and corrected.
"We have more people!" Luffy's morale soared.
"Why don't you do the math, you are the only three who can fight?" Usopp glanced at Tang Sen: "Even if you add this gunman, there are only four people."
"Why do you care so much! We'll wait until we fight!" Luffy didn't bother to think about this, and stretched out his arms directly to grab Nico Robin.
Nico Robin remained motionless. Instead, a strong figure jumped up, and his arm turned into a blade in an instant, slashing towards Luffy's hand.
Luffy immediately retracted his arm.
"It's so dangerous, this person can actually turn his body into a blade!"
"Then leave it to me." Sauron slowly pulled out three swords, bowed his waist, and rushed towards the opponent.
The sound of blades clashing suddenly sounded under the moonlight.
Except for Nico Robin, the other four people from Baroque Studio rushed over. Usopp and Nami were so frightened that they ran away. Luffy laughed and punched the fat woman in the front.
.
The obese woman's body changed instantly, her facial features twisted like a mole, and her nails grew in an instant. She dwarfed and burrowed into the ground to avoid Luffy's attack.
At the same time, Von Clay was spinning and jumping close, and whipped Luffy's head towards Luffy's head.
"Your opponent is me." Sanji went up to him, leg to leg.
Luffy simply met the remaining three people.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Tang Sen did not take action immediately, but just stood aside and observed the situation. Obviously, Sanji was fine when facing Von Clay and could hold his head firmly, but Zoro was facing the quick-cutting fruit ability that could turn his body into steel.
However, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Unknowingly, he had added several wounds to his body, but the other party remained unscathed - with his current strength, he was still unable to cut through steel.
As for Monkey D. Luffy, although he is considered the most powerful among the Straw Hats, he seems to be in a hurry amid the siege of the remaining three Devil Fruit users.
"The situation looks a little bad." Weiwei looked at Nicole Robin, who had not taken action. "What went wrong, so that all the senior management of Baroque Studio came out."
"Why are there so many Devil Fruit users? They all look like monsters!" Usopp lay down behind a stone and peered towards the battlefield.
"It's over, I'm dead this time."
"Hey, that guy named Tang Sen, aren't you going to go up and help?"
"Why should I help the pirates?" Tang Sen said expressionlessly: "If they only have this strength and can't even defeat these minions, then falling here is a good thing."
"I've said it before, you can't defeat Crocodile by talking big words."
He snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited above the carriage. The next moment, his figure appeared in front of Nico Robin.
Nicole Robin was startled, and clasped her hands together. Several arms suddenly grew on Tang Sen's body. The arms neatly controlled each of Tang Sen's joints, and then exerted force without hesitation.
Click.
Tang Sen's neck was directly broken.
Weiwei suddenly let out a scream and was about to rush over to help, but she saw Tang Sen's body slowly turning into a paper man and burning up in the flames. The next moment, Tang Sen had appeared in Nico Robin
behind.
Nicole Robin reacted quickly and was about to get out of the way, but suddenly she felt weak and her ability disappeared in an instant.
Tang Sen put his hand on the opponent's shoulder, and in the palm of his hand, the Hailou Stone coin continued to work.
This is the importance of intelligence. Tang Sen understands Nicole Robin's abilities, but Nicole Robin knows nothing about Tang Sen. After using the paper man substitute to relax the opponent's vigilance, Tang Sen easily relies on
The characteristics of sea floor stone subdued the opponent.
"You are careless."
Hearing the voice in her ears, Nicole Robin struggled violently to escape from Tang Sen's control, but she lost her ability. Under Tang Sen's control, she had no room to resist.
"Who are you!" She could only delay her words while thinking about ways to escape.
"Me? You can call me Tang Sen."
Tang Sen paused and lowered his volume.
"Actually, this is not the first time we have dealt with-Nicole Robin."
Nico Robin's pupils shrank suddenly.
In the land of Alabasta, the only person who knows her true identity is Crocodile.
Townsend continued: "Didn't you and your boss receive my letter earlier today?"
"Did you write the letter signed to Pluto?" Nicole Robin calmed down and analyzed: "So, you deliberately led us here. What is your purpose? You want to stop Crocodile's plan.
?Or do you also want to plot against Hades?"
"No, I'm not interested in that thing." Tang Sen said flatly: "Actually, I know where that thing is. Crocodile's plot is destined to fail, because Pluto is not in Alabasta at all."
"The purpose of bringing you here is just for you."
"For me?" Nicole Robin digested the information in the other party's words.
"I hope you can work for me, Nicole Robin." Townsend said bluntly: "I value your ability. It would be a waste for someone like you to work for Crocodile."
Nico Robin relaxed. She was too familiar with this scene. Dealing with pirates and villains one after another was what she was best at.
"I'm afraid Crocodile won't agree to your request," she said.
"No, he will agree." Tang Sen said with a smile in his tone: "Actually, he is also one of the people I need."
"You want Crocodile to work for you?" Nicole Robin only felt ridiculous in her heart. She knew Crocodile's character very well, and she also knew how powerful he was. There was no way that such a person would succumb to others.
.
But she didn't show any emotion on the surface, and just said: "If you can do it, of course I am willing to work for you. After all, it doesn't make any difference to me, right?"
"Of course there is a difference." Tang Sen released his hand that restrained the other party.
The ability returned to Nicole Robin's body. She was surprised, but she did not take this opportunity to attack.
She is a rational person. Although she does not know what the other party's abilities are, she naturally understands in her heart that since the person in front of her dares to let go of her, he must have the confidence to subdue her again.
"Stabilize the opponent first."
Nicole Robin suddenly had a plan in mind, and she asked: "I think I at least need to know what my future boss's purpose is, or what are you going to ask me to do?"
"My purpose?" Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly: "You will know later."
"As for what you are asked to do now, don't worry, you don't need to do anything."
He looked at the still chaotic battlefield and said: "I know you are just pretending to cater to me now and have no intention of being loyal to me at all, but I don't care, Nicole Robin, I know you very well, better than anyone in the world."
