After teaching Ji Xing for two hours, she felt that she had been tricked by Ji Xing this time.
"The Kingdom of Tenakaina is located on Jianshan Island on the Great Route. It is the kingdom of the Long Hand Clan. There are many thieves in the country and they often go to other countries to rob..."
Seeing Ji Xing stumblingly translating an ancient text she had just written, and the content was basically correct, her expression was weird, as if she found it funny but couldn't help laughing.
"You...is this a fruit ability?"
"No, my memory is naturally better than others." Ji Xing raised his head and said with a smile, "How about it, it's basically correct, right?"
"Oh -" Robin sighed with a smile: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have reported my former boss."
Is this a better memory? There are two completely different systems between ancient writing and modern writing, and there are too few things left behind. Apart from her, O'Hara's ancient scholars basically need five years to decipher and memorize.
Only those who have studied for more than 10 years can get a first glimpse of the door.
But the Ji Xing in front of her can remember it once she has seen it, and can even understand the logic of language at a deeper level. Not only her memory, but this kind of learning ability is also something she has never seen before.
A year and a half? At this rate, it will only take about a week for him to master it initially!
I thought I was working with a new boss, but it turned out that I was a temporary worker. If I had known, I would have taken the job as a temporary part-time job. I resigned from my former employer too early... No, this was more than just resignation. My former employer was planning to be taken over by them.
It’s gone!
Are you going to resume your wandering life again?
She was not sad. She was very happy that O'Hara's knowledge could be spread. She was afraid that no one would dare to learn it. She was afraid that no one would learn it. From the bottom of her heart, she felt very proud that one more person would soon master the ancient writing.
easy.
She shook her head and said, "Take a rest. You learn too fast. I need to think about it and organize what I will teach you next."
"I also have a skill to teach you." Ji Xing said: "It is very suitable for your fruit ability."
Robin was startled: "What?"
"Make up." Ji Xing smiled: "You have to ask your subordinates to prepare some materials first."
"make up?"
Previously, all the thugs in the casino who wanted to take advantage of Ji Xing were brought down, but Ji Xing did not go on a killing spree and the casino was not completely in chaos.
Before learning ancient writing, Robin stepped in to correct the situation, so the casino resumed operations, and those guys who had been taught a lesson were all transferred by Crocodile, and the rest are now more obedient to Robin's words.
The materials Robin needed were quickly assembled. Half an hour later, Robin looked at Ji Xing who had changed beyond recognition and said in surprise: "You said this is...makeup?"
Isn't this a new head?
"Want to learn?"
"..." Robin smiled: "Of course, of course I have to learn such an amazing and convenient skill."
…
On the other side, the Baroque Studio headquarters.
Crocodile, who has a slicked back hair, a long transverse scar on his face, an earring in his right ear, and a gold hook on his left hand, is wearing a black fur coat with a very mafia style, sitting on the boss's chair, looking very stylish.
He took a puff of his cigar.
After listening to the phone bug's report, Crocodile said: "When we arrive at the Rain Banquet, keep an eye on Sunday (Robin's code name) for me. If she does anything strange, report it to me immediately."
"Yes! Boss!"
Crocodile was suspicious by nature, and Robin's remarks in the phone bug did not completely arouse his suspicion. After hanging up the phone, he immediately asked his subordinates to investigate.
The results obtained were similar to what Robin said. Further investigation revealed that some people had indeed seen swordsmen dressed similarly, claiming to be wandering travelers.
"Is it just a coincidence and an outsider? One hundred million beli, huh -" He said he didn't care, but who would be happy if he lost one hundred million for nothing? That's an amount that can buy an ordinary devil fruit!
If he dares to show up again, his king Shichibukai doesn't mind teaching the opponent personally.
'Nico Robin, I hope you will be more honest with me and not be ignorant of current affairs.'
If it weren't for the fact that Baroque Studio was still in the recruiting stage and lacked capable manpower, Crocodile would definitely have Robin by his side.
He looked out the window at the dark sky, snorted coldly, and reached out to put out his cigar.
At the same time, Robin wiped away a white mark on his cheek with a wet hand towel, shook his head and said: "Failed, Teacher Holo, it seems that I am a stupid student."
"It's not that easy to learn. It took me almost a year to learn this. But everyone has their own strengths. You are smart and more importantly, you have many hands. It won't take long for you to master it." Ji Xing smiled and switched roles.
: "So, Teacher Robin, let's study ancient writing for a while longer?"
"Okay." Robin smiled.
In the following time, Robin taught Ji Xing ancient writing, and Ji Xing taught Robin the art of disguise. The two became teachers and students of each other, making progress together.
Robin has been living in a casino recently. Ji Xing randomly found an empty room in the casino to live in late at night. He occasionally walked through the window, went out for a meal and came back without any sound. The guards wanted to find traces of him.
In Arabian Nights.
Three days later, when Ji Xing was studying in Robin's office again, his expression suddenly changed and he gave Robin a look.
Robin understood, and quickly tidied up the room with countless hands, picked up the book she often read and sat back on the chair, while Ji Xing disappeared.
Ten seconds later, her office door was pushed open without knocking, and Crocodile walked in with domineering eyes, looking around.
"Ara?" Robin, who was sitting on the chair, raised his head with a natural expression: "Boss? Why did you come here suddenly and didn't call me in advance?"
Crocodile looked at her, walked to the table and looked at a small bowl of white slurry, and said: "You have people buy some messy things these days. What are you doing?"
"This is it." Robin smiled and stretched out his hand to twist a little and apply it on the back of his hand: "A secret sunscreen that I saw when I was wandering around. The sun here in Alabasta is too hot, so I only used a few.
Yue, I'm a lot darker. Didn't Boss notice it? Do you want to use some?"
Crocodile frowned and observed: "No need for boring things."
"Boss, you can't please girls like this." Robin said with a smile.
"Hmph -" Crocodile was too lazy to pay attention and said: "It's time to prepare for the second rain in the royal capital. I just stopped by to take a look. As long as everything is normal here in the casino. You have done well during this time.
Stay here for a month and I will find suitable people to replace you."
"That's great," said Robin.
After giving Robin a few more words, Crocodile turned and left, his dark black fur coat swaying with his movements, his back broad and domineering.
Robin watched him go away, then stepped forward to close the door. When she looked back, Ji Xing had reappeared in her office, and the two looked at each other happily.
…
On the other side, the World Economic News Agency is in a small state of chaos.
The editors of various newspapers are busy rummaging through all the recent information about Alabasta.
"In the past three months, only the royal capital, Albania, has received light rain in Alabasta!"
"There is indeed a newly established Baroque studio in the waters near Alabasta, and the president is suspected to be Shichibukai Crocodile!"
"The Pinjin Cave Casino located in Yudi was built exactly four months ago..."
One piece of information was gathered into the ears of Morgans standing in the center, and his expression became more and more excited: "Big news!"
Pirates stole a country, and it was a superpower like Alabasta, and the pirates who stole the country were the Shichibukai recognized by the World Government. There is no news bigger than this!
"Sophie! Edit this 'Crocodale's Indictment' immediately and print out the sample! I want to see big news released before dark today!"
"President." The blond female editor said with some worry: "Krokdal is, after all, the King of the Seven Warlords, and the World Government..."
"Don't worry about them." Morgans hesitated for a moment, then waved his wings: "Publish it directly!"
…
Many people think that World Economic News is an organization under the World Government. In fact, it is not. The two are cooperative relationships.
Morgans' unique ability supports the operation of the newspaper. He is an irreplaceable figure, and his background and identity are also somewhat special.
Most of the time, he cooperates with the World Government, but occasionally when he encounters big news, he will be more excited and publish it at any cost.
When he sent out the information about 'Holo Ji Xing', he offended Big Mom severely, but hasn't there been much that can be done against him until now?
Soon, the news of pirates stealing the country was spread through news birds. Everyone who saw the news was shocked. The civilians showed the same disgust as the people of Alabasta. Most of the pirates smiled with unknown excitement.
.
"Hahaha, you are indeed a Qibukai!"
"What an amazing ambition..."
"It's a pity...he's going to die!"
The World Government reacted quickly. Less than an hour after the news was released, the Five Old Stars, the most powerful ones, gathered together and Thunder was furious!
"Tell that bastard Morgans to pull back the newsbirds, now!"
First, they made urgent amends to stop Morgance, who was still unfinished, and to stop the news from spreading further. The five of them looked at each other, their expressions all gloomy and ugly.
Saint Castro, who has white curly hair and a fluffy white beard, said in a low voice: "That bastard Morgans... It's too late to withdraw the news. We can't stop the mouths of those who have read the news. This
Sooner or later, the news will spread throughout the sea, and the credibility of the policy of balancing the sea with the Shichibu Sea will be greatly challenged!"
"The Sand Crocodile is a bit too much." The bald-headed and white-bearded Goribajo Saint said coldly: "Let him be the king of the Shichibukai, not to give him an identity that makes it easier to steal the country, not to mention that Alabasta is still Naferutari.
of the kingdom.”
"Dancing powder is also strictly prohibited!"
"Now we can only deal with him as soon as possible, announce it to the world, replace him with a new Shichibukai, and make up for this loss to the greatest extent."
"Just do it."
"Send out CP0 or navy?"
"The Navy... By the way, ask that guy Morgans about the source of his intelligence. With such a detailed report, is there anyone in that Baroque studio who is his reporter?"
"Warn him! Don't let it happen again! Similar incidents must be approved by us before they can be released!"
Soon, the Navy Headquarters and Marshal Sengoku got the news and got the newspaper.
"Sand Crocodile..." As a righteous naval marshal, he naturally hated this kind of behavior that brought disaster to a country, but at the same time, he also thought of another character.
"Nico Robin..."
The Navy has her information, or Admiral Aokiji has her information.
Ever since he let Nico Robin go when O'Hara was destroyed, Aokiji has been paying attention to her. While others don't know this, Sengoku, as the marshal, naturally knows it.
But like Aokiji, Sengoku also had hesitations about using the Demon-Slaying Order to wipe O'Hara off the map, so he also chose to turn a blind eye to Nico Robin, the last survivor.
One eye approach.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone.
"Kuzan, come to my place."
…
Crocodile was still unaware of the occurrence of all these events.
Because Alabasta is on the edge of the Grand Line, far away from the World Economic News Agency, and it takes three days for a news bird to fly. His power is far from being able to detect the sea area where he can receive news within an hour, and he has few friends to remind him.
He also personally deployed dancing powder throughout the royal capital to control the scope of rainfall and the area that would be affected by drought due to subsequent disturbance.
I also went to the casino twice more, not for 'surprise inspections', but for routine inspections.
Everything made him very satisfied.
The royal family, which lacks a sense of crisis, has not yet taken the more than three months of drought seriously. It only thinks it is a natural disaster and only sends people to various places to provide disaster relief.
The living conditions of the people of Alabasta in the arid region are also deteriorating. It is expected that ordinary people will soon die of thirst, causing chaos.
The next step is to become the hero of this kingdom step by step, attracting some pirates, and as the king of the Shichibukai, I help the people exterminate pirates, protect the people of this country, and are revered by ignorant people!
But before the pirates came, the navy came first.
"What did you say? A large warship docked at the Alabasta port? The leader is Vice Admiral Karjan from the nearby naval base?"
He puffed on his cigar with gloomy eyes and said to the phone bug: "Okay, I understand, don't stare at them, don't expose yourself."
There's no way it's coming for me.
Crocodile, who is one of the Seven Warlords under the King, naturally came up with such an idea, and what he thought of next was very clear.
He dialed another number: "Nico Robin, your traces may have been exposed. The Vice Admiral is coming to arrest you personally. It is not convenient for me to take action. You can find a way to hide and escape."
…
"I understand, Boss, thank you very much."
At the casino, after hanging up the phone, Robin smiled like a witch: "This reminder from Crocodile really makes me feel a little guilty."
"Don't move." Next to him, Ji Xing was carefully applying false eyelashes to Robin and said, "Don't think too much. I remind you that it's just because you are useful to him."
"I know." Robin endured the slight itching on his cheek and said calmly: "I have experienced similar betrayals dozens of times. I'm just talking about it. I won't feel any guilt."
"If you feel guilty, feel guilty. Just continue next time." Ji Xing took two steps back and nodded with satisfaction.
Robin picked up a mirror and took a look. The face in the mirror was very strange and delicate. She touched her cheek and exclaimed: "It's like the ability of a person with abilities. Even if I reach out and touch it, I can't feel that this face is..."
Fake... By the way, do you like girls with this kind of appearance?"
She smiled teasingly: "The cute type?"
"It's easy." Ji Xing smiled, looked at Nicole Nami in front of him, and said, "Okay, you can go hide first. We'll see you at the barbecue restaurant at the end of the street tonight."
"Huh? You won't come with me?"
"We need to make Crocodile understand." Ji Xing said, "I stopped by to see if the person who captured him is the person I expected."
…
The other side.
After warning Robin, Crocodile began to rush towards the casino.
As a person with the natural type of sand fruit ability, the desert of Alabasta is his favorite environment. When rushing among the yellow sand, he transformed into a semi-elemental, like a sandstorm, moving at an astonishing speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.
.
Suddenly, he found a figure appearing at the end of his sight.
The man was very tall, wearing a white suit vest and a dark blue shirt. He also wore a green eyepatch on his forehead. He half-raised his right arm to block the yellow sand in front of him. Behind him, a large cloak of justice continued in the dust.
sway in the wind.
Crocodile's figure suddenly froze, and he condensed back to his original form, a little stunned, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Admiral... Aokiji?!"
"Ah la la, King Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile Crocodile." Aokiji replied with a tired expression: "This environment is really annoying, I feel like my whole body is filled with sand. Fortunately, it didn't cost too much to find you.
time."
Find me... Crocodile knew there might be a problem somewhere, but he didn't know the source of the problem yet. He watched Aoki Pheasant walk up to him in silence, snorted coldly, took out a cigar and lit it.
"The Admiral came to me in person. What did he want to do? Accuse me of harboring the son of the devil?"
"That's another matter, although... it's also a crime." Qingzhi reached for it and took out a newspaper: "Here, come and take a look."
Crocodile frowned and took it.
"Pirates steal the country! The shocking conspiracy of King Shichibukai Crocodile!"
When he saw the title, his face suddenly darkened, and as he read, it gradually turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He clenched the newspaper into a ball and roared: "Nicole Robin?!"
Apart from Nico Robin, who is his secretary, no other person can provide such detailed information that almost completely reveals his plan!
"It seems that you are not ready to refute." Aoki said: "Then... As the King Shichibukai, you conspired to steal the country and use dancing powder strictly prohibited by the World Government to create drought and chaos. I am here to arrest you. You have not
What’s your opinion?”
Crocodile's chest heaved with anger.
Why? Why does Nico Robin do this? She wants to read the history of Alabasta, I need Hades, everyone takes what they need!
As the son of the devil and the orphan of O'Hara, it is impossible for her to turn her heart to the Navy and the World Government!
There must be something, something...
His Tong Kong Yi Ning, the unidentified swordsman who took away 100 million beli from me?!
At this time, Qingzhi suddenly turned to another direction, shielded his eyes with his hands and looked for a few seconds. He sighed with a headache: "It turns out to be you. I had a long feeling that this operation would not be so peaceful. I didn't expect that through News Bird
You were the one who reported Crocodile, but where is Nico Robin, the son of the devil?"
Crocodile suddenly turned his head, and what he saw was an unfamiliar figure, but he knew that image and appearance, as well as the knife on his waist, from the descriptions of his subordinates!
It’s really this guy. Then the phone calls between me and Nico Robin in the past few days...the few times I went to the casino...when I was away...
"Asshole...who are you?!"
Ji Xing said: "A just police officer? Well, after traveling, I couldn't stand what you did, so I reported you."
"Tide Island Sheriff Holo, one year and three months ago, during the battle when the red-haired pirates became the Four Emperors, he followed the red-haired pirates in Wano Country and killed the great pirate White Lion Rodbell with one blow." Qing.
The pheasant asked: "Where is Nico Robin, the son of the devil?"
"She was a bit cunning, and I accidentally let her run away." Ji Xing said regretfully.
"Hey, hey." Qingzhi said helplessly: "With your rhetoric, I won't be able to do business when I get back."
Crocodile's rage level has increased.
Through Qing Pheasant's 'introduction', he learned Ji Xing's identity, the 'Unknown Swordsman' a year ago, the... Sheriff of a Grand Route Island?
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use. Download it here www.yeguoyuedu.com. You can try it soon.]
He is indeed a great guy, but first of all, I didn't mess with any of you.
Passed by on a trip? Don’t like it? It’s such a ridiculous reason that ruined my plan. My plan to obtain Hades and become the king of the world was over before it even started?!
"Are you two really planning to continue chatting away from me on my property like no one else is around?"
He spit out the cigar on the ground, and Crocodile glanced at both sides with dark eyes.
"This is a desert!
"
His hands suddenly hit the ground.
boom--
The rustling fruit ability is activated at full power!
Big desert sunflower!
In an instant, the sandy land with a radius of 100 meters seemed to be alive. The underground water veins were controlled by Crocodile, making the sand in this area look like flowers blooming towards the sun, forming quicksand, which attracted the green pheasants and Ji.
The stars are swallowed up!
Admiral? Unknown swordsman? In the desert area, Crocodile is not afraid of anyone!
"Go to hell!"
Card--
His fierce and domineering expression froze, and the blue frost suddenly froze him inside, turning him into an ice boulder under the scorching sun.
Ice spreads continuously on the quicksand with a radius of 100 meters, turning into a bowl-shaped ice pit in an instant, adding a different kind of scenery to the yellow sand!
Qing Zhi's figure regrouped on the side of the ice pit. He looked past Crocodile and looked at Ji Xing, who was already standing there, and sighed.
Ji Xing had a smile on his face. The world only knew Jack the Ship, but they didn't know that Crocodile Crocodile was brave enough to take Whitebeard's head!
"It's been a long time since I came to Alabasta. It's been so cool. Admiral Aokiji is very capable."
Qing Pheasant looked at him and scratched Mo Guyun's hair with some distress: "It's okay to hide in the dark all the time. Why do you want to show up..."
