The urban rainland in the oasis is the dream city of Alabasta, and it is also the base camp of Crocodile. However, the entertainment center that used to be bustling is now dilapidated, with the ground covered in charred black, and buildings buried in the yellow sand can be seen everywhere.
The residents have already evacuated, and a war that occurred not long ago almost turned the entire city into ruins.
Nami and others are currently discussing the next plan in the "Rain Feast", the largest casino in Aladastan, the only intact building in the Rain Land. In the previous battle, they defeated Crocodile's senior agents, and those people were killed by Hailou.
He was locked with stone handcuffs and locked in a nearby room.
Unfortunately, Crocodile escaped alone.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The desert is the home ground of the Shasha Fruit. Our strength is not enough to suppress the opponent. Let's recover from our injuries first and consider the rest later."
Except for her, everyone else on Nami's side was injured, especially Zoro, Luffy and Law. At this moment, they only had the strength to lie down and talk.
Zoro's sword skills went further and he defeated M.1, but he himself was left with countless wounds on his body. Chopper was almost crying while bandaging him to stop the bleeding.
Luo's auxiliary ability was very strong, and precisely because of this, he was listed as a key attack target by Crocodile. As a doctor, he no longer had the energy to treat himself at the moment, so it was Chopper who helped wrap the gauze.
Luffy was just unlucky, and he didn't know what was going on. He clearly posed little threat to the enemy. No matter how fast he hit his rubber fist, it couldn't cause damage to the natural body. When he discovered that his blood could solidify the opponent's sand,
The person was almost sucked into a mummy.
"Huh~ Resurrection!" Weiwei poured a bucket of water on Luffy, but he regained his vitality in just a second or two, "Damn crocodile bastard, I will never lose to him next time! By the way,
I discovered his weakness, do any of you want to know?"
At the end of the sentence, the person who looked angry just a second ago suddenly changed his expression, looking triumphant as if he was defeated instead of someone else.
"It's water, Straw Hat Boss, you want to say that the weakness of the Shasha fruit is water, right?"
Luo's observation ability is definitely the best among everyone. He naturally saw that Luffy's punch before turning into "Human Gan" caused damage to Crocodile. Although it was not much, it was indeed effective.
"Water? Isn't it blood?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion. He wanted to say that his blood was the nemesis of the crocodile bastard.
Nami: "Idiot, isn't it common sense that sand will solidify when it encounters water? Weiwei's snowflakes have also solidified sand. It's just that she didn't have the chance to attack the opponent's body in the previous battle, so we didn't react."
"That's it! The very precious water in the desert is the nemesis of sand... I understand, I understand, no wonder everyone cherishes water so much and is reluctant to waste it. It turns out that it is reserved to deal with the crocodile bastards. They are all smart.
.”
Luo: "...", what kind of brain circuit is this?
Azi opened the door and walked in. In order to train Nami and others, she did not take action in the battle, but did her job - reconnaissance. Thanks to her ability to detect the enemy's movements every time,
To provide convenience for one's own side, otherwise it would be impossible to rely on Alabasta's intelligence personnel to accurately find the major strongholds of the Baroque Working Society.
"They went in the direction of Albana."
Weiwei: "The royal capital? Let's hurry up and catch up. The Running Duck troops should be resting."
Logically speaking, with Azi's animal-shaped body, it wouldn't be difficult to lead a few people to catch up, but she would not let anyone other than her companions sit on her back. Of the people present, only Nami was carried by her.
, forget about others.

"Have you checked it out?"
"Yes, the historical text is in the tombs of the kings of Alabasta. I am already nearby. Do I need to take a look first?"
"Hmph, you can't go ahead before I arrive, Nico Robin!"
"Well, who makes you the boss?"
After hanging up the phone, Crocodile's originally extremely gloomy expression became a little better. Baroque Works is gone if it's gone. It's just a bounty hunting company. He can open another one at any time. The most important thing now is
The whereabouts of "Pluto" were found. Fortunately, the woman was fairly reliable...but after she translated the ancient text on the historical article, it had no value in existence!
What he didn't know was that Robin dialed another bug.
Although Kaido tried his best to conceal what was happening in Wano Country, and relied on the inventory in the warehouse to not interrupt the sea stone transaction with the World Government, the latter still saw some clues.
It's not normal. The Beast Pirates' behavior in the past few months has been too abnormal.
The "epidemic" that likes to spread poison everywhere in the New World is nowhere to be seen, and there is no news that the "drought" continues to destroy towns. The only ones active outside are some nameless grassroots members. When did the dignified Yonko Group become so low-key?
The Five Old Stars guessed that something must have happened in Wano Country that they didn't know about, and asked the official in charge of the Sea Tower Stone transaction to contact Kaido, but they heard nothing except the other party yelling at him.
"Kaido must have been drunk and recited those few grumbling words. The Beast Pirates cadres who are responsible for liaising directly with their subordinates never talk about anything other than the transaction, so no more information can be obtained for the time being."
"Well, I understand, let's go down."
"yes."
"..."
After a moment of silence, the white-curly Five Old Star took the lead and said, "What do you think?"
Jin Jin: "There is a problem with Kaido! The Kailou Stone transaction is only secondary. If the movement of one of the four emperors exceeds expectations, it will have a big impact on the current situation. It is necessary to send people to Wano Country to investigate the situation.
"
Bald Head: "Let CP0 go. Stussy's identity is not known to outsiders. It is most suitable for her to carry out the task. We can also take this opportunity to let her people infiltrate Wano Country and establish an intelligence agency."
When the Queen of Happy Street goes to a certain country to expand her business, no man will say no. I heard that the customs industry in Wano Country is also quite developed... Of course, I just heard about it. She had never been there when she was young.
.
Bai Changzhi: "The last time Kaido committed suicide was half a year ago. The interval was too long. Someone or something must have tripped him up. Could it be that some force had a conflict with him?"
Jin Jin: "Apart from us, the only people who can threaten him are Whitebeard and others who are also the Emperor of the Sea, and the Navy Headquarters. The former has not moved, and Sengoku cannot carry out operations in Wano without telling us. He is about to step down as marshal.
, in order to have a perfect ending, I may recruit a 'Yonko' before retiring, but I won't act in a sneaky way, let alone target Kaido, who is half a generation behind me."
Bald Head: "I think I want to arrest Whitebeard. After all, he is an old enemy that I hunted down back then."
Blond hair: "It should be so. How much strength does he still have today? Even the strongest in the world can't beat the years."
Bald: "At his peak, he even had the power to destroy the world!"
Bai Changzhi: "Yes."
Seeing that the topic uncontrollably drifted to another Yonko, Bai Curly, who spoke first, hurriedly stopped them, "Ahem, we will discuss the matter of Warring States and Whitebeard when we have time. The focus of this meeting is Kaido of the Beasts
.”
A group of old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years are here lamenting Mao's "time makes people grow old", don't you agree? No matter how old Whitebeard is, can he compare with you...can he compare with us?
Four people: "..."
"What did you say just now?" "Who stopped Kaido in Wano Country." "Oh, who could it be?"
Bai Curly: "...", who are you asking!
Blond hair: "Is it possible that it was Nokigao? There was a lot of conflict between her and Kaido before, but now she has also disappeared. Maybe the Phoenix Pirates went to Wano Country."
Bald Head: "There is a certain possibility, but she is not strong enough to contain Kaido."
Blond hair: "What if we include the samurai from Wano Country?"
Bald Head: "It's difficult. The Beast Pirates also have a large number of combatants, which is enough to deal with the attacks of the samurai, but the combat power shown by Nokigao in Dressrosa is not enough to challenge Kaido, unless
She hid something or went further within half a year, otherwise she would not be qualified to compete with Kaido."
Bai Curly: "It's too early to talk about this now. Just wait patiently for the information from CP0."
"Let me also investigate Nokigao's recent movements. This kid is not a peaceful person. Maybe the status of Shichibukai cannot restrict her."
————————
"Okay, I understand, I will leave immediately." Stussy hung up the phone respectfully and had no objection to the order from above. At least, that's what the above thought.
Is she really happy to go on a mission to Wano Country? She is so happy!
It’s okay if the Yonko’s aunt’s tea party doesn’t come to an end once. As long as she stays away from that crazy woman when she goes crazy and runs faster, she won’t lose her life. But now she is being asked to go to the Yonko Kaido’s territory.
Collect intelligence and even establish a stronghold. Isn't it too fast to die?
Who in the industry doesn't know how tight Kaido's protection of Wano Country is. Once anyone who breaks in without permission is discovered...it's okay for the pirates, but the agents of the World Government will never survive!
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, you should go or go. The Queen of Happy Street is just a tool cultivated by the world government. What's the use of being famous in the dark world? If you dare to say a word "no", someone will come over and deal with it immediately.
As a senior agent, don't you understand their tactics?
Be prepared. If you come back from Wano alive this time and get the information that the Five Old Stars want, it means that Stussy's lurking level has reached a higher level. By then... promotion will definitely be impossible.
Eighty percent of the time, he will be sent to perform more dangerous tasks, such as poisoning Jiu Mengzi's red hair and recognizing White Beard as his father.
Only those who perfectly complete all the tasks assigned by the superiors without asking for anything in return will be an excellent tool person.
Amnesia is a disease caused by brain trauma. Generally speaking, if the patient is exposed to familiar environments and familiar people, it is possible to awaken sleeping memories.
Of course, there is another more direct way.
Sabo's head was hit by a cannon when he was a child, and he received strong physiological stimulation. If "God" hadn't tricked him, he would have gone down to meet his noble ancestors.
Nokigao came up with a clever idea to relieve his headache. Since he lost his memory due to the bombardment, it would be possible to regain his memory if he was bombarded again. Considering the changes in Saab's strength in the past ten years, it would be difficult for ordinary artillery shells to be too weak.
After achieving the effect, it is now "Explosion Man" Frank's turn to appear. It can be as small as breaking wooden boards or as large as cracking mountains. If the power is not enough, we can increase it layer by layer and always find the right intensity.
It's a pity that Ace stopped him and prevented the medical miracle from happening in Wano.
Hey, layman! Quinn used physical therapy to treat Auntie's amnesia. How can people in this world still die after being hit on the head a few times?
The quack doctor Nokki Gao was kicked out, and the sunshine brother Ace chose a gentler treatment method, accompanying him. After all, the violent recall method was too exaggerated, and it was unrealistic to return to the Kingdom of Goa to find a familiar environment. Ten years apart,
I don't even know if the person I hugged or beat up is still around. He is the only familiar yet unfamiliar person around.
In addition to hiding their identities and fighting with the Beast Pirates and going to the bathroom, Ace and Sabo never left each other. They ate together every day and trained together. From time to time, they would talk about past events and complain about Luffy's mistakes...
...
After several months of companionship, it really achieved a certain effect. Although Sabo did not fully recover his memory, he recalled the common experiences of the three brothers. It may also be that Ace repeated some scenes too many times and it was lingering in his mind.
Ah, ah, ah, aroused a magical reaction.
This is a good sign. According to Nokigao, the first course of treatment is over, and he will be almost cured after two more courses of treatment. It’s a pity that Sabo doesn’t have much time to stay in Wano. Just yesterday, Dragon General
He recalled the headquarters of the revolutionary army, as if he was going to send it on some mission.
Now that the two brothers have embarked on completely different paths, Ace will not interfere with each other's life. When it is time to say goodbye, he will say goodbye and look forward to the next meeting in his heart.
Stusi took a boat and came to the waters near Wano Country. She planned to explore the situation by herself first. There were few people and the target was small, so it would not be easy to attract other people's attention.
"Moonstep!"
The distance of tens of kilometers was not particularly far for her. It didn't take long for her to step into the inland sea of Wano Country. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a bullet almost flew against her tender face.
Yes, it left a trace of blood on it!
Stussy's beauty turned pale, when?!
“Soundless wall!”
An invisible barrier enveloped the surroundings, followed by overwhelming golden-red flames... After she finally escaped the fatal attack, her eyes blurred, then there was a heavy weight on her shoulders, and a broad sword was only half a centimeter away from her neck.
. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to move.
"Young, you are a big sister with a good temperament."
Taking Angel to play in the sky over Wano Country, no, it was Nokigao who was patrolling and had discovered Stussy's ship a long time ago. Who made Phoenix's eyesight better? He was also ready for battle, but
Wait for the opponent to get close and then take it down.
