The Corleone family is a mafia family that has just risen.
In just over ten years, it has developed into the largest underground force in the West China Sea, and its founder Corleone Vito is indispensable.
This blond man in his thirties was extremely ambitious and far-sighted, and tried to use various means to elevate Bako to the throne of the base commander of the first branch of the West Sea.
From then on, the black and white collusion ensured that the Corleone family would remain evergreen in the West Sea and its position would be stable.
"The root of the relationship thing still has something to do with me?"
Nuo Xia murmured in her heart.
The Corleone family only became the giant of the underground forces in the West Sea more than half a year ago. Before that, they had been suppressed by the behemoth Capone family and could not stand up for a long time.
Well, that's right.
It was the Capone family he bumped into when he first came to Xihai to take part in the actual combat assessment.
In that battle, the West Sea Underground Alliance organized by the Capone family suffered heavy losses, and many pirate captains with bounties worth tens of millions were arrested and killed.
The most powerful thug in the alliance, "Giant Bear" Sano, was beheaded by Nosha on the spot.
The Corleone family was able to take advantage of the opportunity, take the opportunity to destroy the Capone family, and successfully take power.
In addition, among the direct descendants of the Capone family, only one person, the nephew of the head of the family, survived. He escaped from the siege and is still missing.
His name is Capone Becky.
"If I don't come to Xihai to take up my post, then in the next ten years, the history of the development of Xihai's underground forces will be like the ever-changing story of Monte Cristo, right?"
Nuo Xia secretly thought, but now that he is here, there will be nothing wrong with Kapenbeki.
The Corleone family's cancer must be eliminated as soon as possible after he completes the escort mission and becomes free.
He shook his head slightly and glanced at Bako across the desk.
The effective time of the lying spray has passed, and Bako is at a loss. He doesn't understand why he couldn't help answering so many questions just now.
At this moment, when he looked into Nuo Xia's eyes, he suddenly looked frightened and couldn't even speak:
"Major...Major General, I was coerced by the Corleone family and did it out of necessity..."
"It's useless to tell me all this nonsense. After I report it to the headquarters, you can go and explain it to the people in the military court."
Nuo Xia was too lazy to talk to this guy, and turned his attention to the thin figure in the corner, and said coldly: "But before I send you to Push City, I still have some questions that I want to ask this person named Annie.
Little girl..."
He was actually a little curious.
This little girl looks extremely fragile, she is only eight or nine years old, right? She was able to drug a ship of pirates without changing her expression. Could it be that she is a killer who has been specially trained by the mafia family since she was a child?
Since he is a member of the Corleone family, he must be interrogated clearly.
If this little girl had done something outrageous, he would not let her off just because she was young.
Robin was carefully observing the surrounding situation, especially the orientation of the windows and door exits.
At this moment, seeing Nuo Xia's cold eyes falling on her, she had already recovered some strength, and she immediately gritted her teeth and made a decision——
Gotta escape!
Although he knew in his heart that he would never be a match for a navy with the rank of major general.
But no matter what, she has to give it a try. With her special status, she must not fall into the hands of the navy. She must find a way to escape from this base!
Swish.
The Huahua Fruit ability was activated, and two delicate arms suddenly grew out of the wall behind Nuo Xia. They quietly wrapped around Nuo Xia's neck, and tightened suddenly at the moment of contact.
And she herself, in this flash of lightning, seized the opportunity, suddenly jumped out, and rushed towards the half-opened window on the southernmost side of the wall!
Got it!
Seeing that he had not been stopped when he rushed to the window, little Robin felt happy and was about to jump down. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a chubby pigeon on the window sill, tilting its head without blinking.
looking at himself.
Seeing her rushing towards her, the white dove suddenly cooed, flapped its wings and flew up, hooked her hair with its claws and threw it out violently.
Bang!
Robin felt an irresistible force coming from him, and his vision blurred. When his vision became clear again, he had actually been thrown onto the table of his desk.
How can a pigeon have so much strength?
She was horrified. She turned around and saw that the rear admiral was less than fifty centimeters away from her. He was looking at her in surprise, despite the two white and tender arms trying to strangle his neck, not moving at all...
"Is there such an unexpected gain?"
Nuo Xia didn't pay attention to the tickling arms at all. She looked up and down at the little girl in front of her, then suddenly stretched out a hand, pinched Robin's cheek tightly, and rubbed it with slight force.
It hurts... Little Robin almost burst into tears. Before he could understand the meaning of the other person's actions, he felt the powder on his face falling like paint falling off.
Her true appearance, covered by disguise powder, was gradually revealed in front of Nuo Xia.
"It's really you."
Only then did Nuo Xia let go of his hand, looked at the little black-haired girl with a look of fear in her eyes, and spoke softly, "The devil's son with a bounty of 79 million Baileys, Nico Robin..."
boom!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Robin's heart.
Was he finally recognized?
There was no way he could escape. Little Robin looked at Nuo Xia blankly, then lowered his head slightly, biting his lower lip, and remained silent.
"A mere underground force in the West Sea actually has such a magical powder. If you apply it, you will become two people."
She heard Nuo Xia sighing in her ears, "If I had known better, I should have used the detector. Little guy, if you hadn't used your fruit power to resist, I really wouldn't have recognized you at all..."
What is this?
You’ve already caught yourself, and you’re still talking so long and long. Are you humiliating yourself?
Or are you celebrating your unearned military exploits?
The look in Robin's eyes gradually dimmed, and he stared blankly at the desk in front of him.
First, he was on the run for several months, and finally reunited with his family. Then he was controlled and threatened by the mafia family, and struggled painfully in the endless darkness...
I have already had enough of this kind of life.
Let's just leave it like this. Whether it's death in the hands of the navy or being imprisoned in Impel Down City, which never sees the light of day, it's better than continuing to be tortured in various ways at the hands of Corleone...
She no longer wants to live anymore.
"No wonder you were able to defeat so many pirates at such a young age. If it were you, I wouldn't be so surprised..."
Nuo Xia's voice was still ringing, but Robin had long since ignored it and was listening vaguely. Suddenly, he heard the former clapped his hands and changed the topic, "Okay, you go, be careful next time, don't
Let me catch you again."
Eh?
Robin's body was shaken, and he raised his head in disbelief, and saw that handsome young face looking at him with a smile:
"Why, why aren't you leaving yet? Why are you standing here? Do you want me to escort you out of the base gate myself?"
Did you hear it right?
Is this rear admiral really planning to let him go?
"But, but..."
She was full of confusion and was about to ask what happened when Nuo Xia suddenly came over and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, by the way, tell me the truth. You are working for the Corleone family. You have only dealt with pirates so far, and you haven't done anything to harm civilians, right?"
"No."
Robin answered subconsciously, then looked up blankly and stammered, "But I am a wanted criminal with a bounty on my head. You, why...why do you want..."
"The person who said you destroyed the warship was CP9, and the person who issued the reward order was the World Government. What does it have to do with me, a navy man?"
Nuo Xia shrugged, leaned lazily on the sofa chair, crossed his legs and said leisurely, "I'm not interested in helping people from the World Government. Besides, I'm not the first navy to let you go. This matter
Son, you should get used to it..."
Eh?
The black-haired girl looked at her in astonishment. Nuo Xia blinked at her and said with a smile:
"Ah, you guessed it right. That guy Kuzan and I are barely friends. I know quite clearly what happened back then."
"However, as the guy said, just because he lets you go, it doesn't mean he is your friend,"
Nuo Xia waved his hand towards her and said calmly, "So, don't do anything for this kind of mafia family in the future, whether you are trying to survive, hide your identity, or something else... Kuzan said that if you do something bad,
He will be the first one to catch you."
"However, since I have come to Xihai, I will definitely arrive faster than him. Then, don't expect me to let you go like I did today."
After saying this, he pointed to the half-opened door, threw the disguise powder he found in her pocket back to her, and said no more.
Did you really let yourself go like this?
Kuzan was also mentioned...
The man who once froze her only friend Sauro with his own hands in front of her, prepared a boat for her, and let her escape from O'Hara in a sea of fire.
Robin's mind was a little confused. Almost under the subconscious control of her body, she moved to the door, then turned her head and glanced blankly at Noxia behind the desk.
Do you want to tell this guy that you don't want to work for the Corleone family, but are actually being coerced because your relatives are imprisoned?
No, after all, the other party is still the navy.
The painful memories of the Demon-Slaying Order were engraved in her heart and were indelible. Even if the other party let her go, she would not be able to have much trust in Nuo Xia, whom she met for the first time.
Robin turned her head and smiled to herself. What was she thinking just now? Could it be that the friendly and warm smile of the other party had damaged her brain?
Expecting a navy to travel thousands of miles to help her rescue her relatives... How is this possible?
call.
The black-haired girl finally stopped hesitating. After smearing the remaining makeup powder on her face, she strode out and gently closed the wooden door of the office.
Before leaving, Nuo Xia heard a low voice coming from the crack of the door:
"Thanks."
This little guy... Nuo Xia passed through the gap and silently watched the small and thin figure go away.
It is inevitable for people to feel compassion, let alone for Robin who suffered a miserable life experience. It was not that he had not thought about using some means just now to let Robin stay by his side.
That way, little Robin can at least live a comfortable life without having to hide here and there like in the original timeline, struggling to survive amid endless betrayal and darkness.
But this won't work after all. Let's not talk about how to conceal the identity of the devil's son. Is Robin himself willing to live with a navy?
O'Hara's painful memories are a threshold that cannot be crossed. Nosha has not yet felt that her face is big enough to make Robin forget the resentment and knots she felt at that time.
What's more, this is the first time the two of them have met. This girl, who is far more mature than her peers, is obviously wary and cannot build much trust in him in a short period of time.
"Nuo, Major General Nuo Xia..."
Just when Nuo Xia was silent, a cautious voice suddenly came to his ears.
He turned around and saw Colonel Bacco looking at him in disbelief: "You, you... actually let that girl go like that?"
That is the son of the devil, Nico Robin, who is being rewarded with a huge reward by the World Government!
It was simply a huge amount of credit given to him in vain. If it had been him, he would have tied up the girl immediately and reported it to his superiors...
In fact, in his plan with Corleone Vito, once he has accumulated a certain level of military exploits, he will kill the donkey and treat Nico Robin as the last important bargaining chip for promotion to the major general of the West Sea Branch.
He couldn't understand Nuo Xia's thoughts, but he always felt as if he had heard some terrible secret, and it seemed to be related to another boss of the headquarters, the then Lieutenant General Kuzan...
Um?
Just when he was thinking of this, Baco suddenly saw it. After looking at himself up and down, Nuo Xia suddenly shook his head and said with some regret:
"Tell me, why are you so stupid? You just pretended to be stupid and fainted because you were frightened. You had to hear everything you shouldn't hear, and you even jumped out to remind me..."
What does this mean?
An icy chill instantly shot up his spine and onto the back of his head. Bacco's hair stood on end. He couldn't sit still anymore and lost his temper and screamed: "You...what do you want to do! I am also a naval captain after all, even if I have done something I shouldn't have done.
, it should also be governed by military law..."
Click!
Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.
Bacco, whose neck was broken, fell to the ground stiffly, while Nuo Xia, without even looking at the body on the ground, walked to the window and frowned slightly.
Traitors are always more hateful than enemies. Dealing with Bacco casually will not have any psychological burden on him at all.
"The Corleone family..."
Nuo Xia looked at the small figure vaguely visible in the wind and snow, and said to himself.
It's not a good feeling to be plotted against.
Although Bacco is a complete idiot, he is still quite unhappy that a mere underground mafia family from all over the world has reached out to his subordinates in an attempt to gain control of the first branch of the West Sea.
Maybe, I should change my itinerary a little bit.
Before heading to the Lot Kingdom in the new world, take some time and head straight to the old nest to dig out all the rats nesting underground and clean them all in one go!
