Chapter 102, Robin surrenders, the sand crocodile making a comeback!
It was night, and the soul fire of six huge skeleton barbarian kings was extinguished, standing like sculptures along the bridge outside the Yuyan Casino.
The rough scratches caused by rubbing in the wind and sand during the day make them look weathered, but this adds to the murderous look.
After Lovett settled in the Rainland, the casino became a forbidden area for the residents of the Rainland. Everyone was in panic and was surprised that Crocodile abandoned them and fled.
That hope went from strong at the beginning to despair at dusk, and finally turned into hatred. Previously, he could fight but could not deal with the aftermath of the damage. The people also used it to make a big fuss, saying that he was not worthy of being respected.
"A dynasty is built over time but collapses in a day."
In the luxurious room on the second floor of the casino, Lovett picked up a wine glass and handed it over, asking: "Seeing this scene, do you have any emotions you want to express?"
He could feel that the people of Rainland's fear of him was gradually turning into hatred of Crocodile. The good reputation he had worked so hard for so many years was on the verge of being shattered due to this incident, which made Lovett really curious about what the owner of the crime was thinking.
Taking the wine glass with a smile, Nicole Robin, who had high hopes from Crocodile, took a sip and leaned on the window sill to prop up her chin.
"To be honest... I knew this man was unreliable from the moment he approached me and asked me to help him complete his plan to steal the country."
"Don't you think you're putting the cart before the horse by abandoning the power of a natural fruit and instead pursuing control of this country?"
If Sand Crocodile himself heard this sentence, he would definitely spit out blood.
There is no doubt that at this critical moment, Nicole Robin chose to add insult to injury without hesitation!
"You can't say it so absolutely. He was once a passionate young man, and he was once full of confidence in his own power."
Lowit pulled up a chair and sat across from her, picking up a knife and cutting the steak.
"It's a pity that a big defeat in the New World broke his spine. He thought that he could never be a match for those monsters, so he began to pursue foreign objects."
As the saying goes, what is missing is what is made up for. The original Rick Rockdale gave people a feeling of "believing in his own strength and toying with weak opponents with a smile". Is it not because he knew that he was not the opponent of those powerful beings, so he gave up struggling and started to fight.
Looking for happiness in the weak?
Chewing the steak carefully prepared by the casino chef, Lovett shook his head and did not want to talk more about this topic.
"On the contrary, you... Sand Crocodile's strength was obvious to all in the first half. After seeing his strength, he was able to surrender so decisively. What do you want from me?"
In response, Robin turned around and said seriously: "Safe!"
"No way, next one."
Lovett refused decisively without raising his head.
Robin's eyes flashed with a hint of silence and loss, but he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Being able to recognize himself and even knowing the connection between Crocodile and the Baroque Working Society, there is no doubt that the Black Count has a lot of information. Doesn't he want to control himself?
Fear of a world government?
This man is not as weak as Crocodile.
"It's simple, I'm not curious."
Seeing her pursuing the question, Lovett understood and said with a smile: "I am not curious about the truth of the history of a hundred years, because history is created by people, and human history is a history of continuous exploration. The existence of history
It’s just to witness the development and progress of mankind, rather than letting people struggle to find out the secrets.”
"You just said that Crocodile was putting the cart before the horse, but you are putting the cart before the horse again."
"Let me guess... In fact, you want to interpret the truth just because you can't let go of the past, the resentment and grievances in your heart."
Robin was speechless.
This man really has an innate intuition about people's hearts.
Because he guessed it right!
Why should she pursue the historical truth? Is that important to her?
No, it's not important at all.
But it is very important to the scholars who died in O'Hara, to Dr. Cloba, to his mother Olbia, and to the giant Sauro who helped him escape.
As long as he is alive, he has inherited their wishes, and fulfilling their wishes is Robin's motivation for living.
"Including ancient weapons..."
Lovett continued, meaning: "I don't think he will be a match for the undead army either!"
A weapon that has been handed down from ancient times to this day is also qualified to compete with a school of magic that has been constantly improving itself for tens of thousands of years?
Unless the speculated super-ancient civilization can crush the mage civilization, Lovett really doesn't look down on the antiques that existed hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Destroy the world?
is it hard?
Nicole Robin was instantly moved.
Having spent more than ten years looking at people's looks to survive, she could certainly see the strong confidence that Lovett had when he said this!
Through the glass window, she noticed the white skeletons guarding quietly in the sea water. She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Sorry, I made a mistake."
It turns out that not everyone cares about her abilities, not everyone thinks she is valuable, and not everyone wants her. Everyone has different pursuits and has different attitudes towards the same thing.
The Black Earl in front of me is undoubtedly the one at the top.
The knot in her heart relaxed slightly, and looking at Lovett eating elegantly, Nicole Robin continued: "But I still want to be safe!"
After that, she pointed at the girl who was tied up and thrown on the sofa: "I didn't follow the order to detonate the explosives to kill everyone in the city. In addition, I didn't hurt her, so you can use it as a favor to Kobra.
In exchange for a safe promise, what do you think, Lord Black Earl?"
This sentence "safety" has a different meaning than the previous sentence. It is more like a kind of insurance and a transaction.
As a wanted criminal that the government has been looking for for many years, Lovett has too many things to do after being recognized.
Not to mention anything else, if he just takes her to find Wu Laoxing, Wu Laoxing will definitely be willing to give him the title of Shichibukai.
So Nicole Robin still wants safety, a promise of survival!
The girl... no, it should be said that Naferutali Weiwei's pretty face was full of anger when she heard this, but her mouth was sealed with tape, so she could only stare at her with her eyes.
This is a... princess with a hot temper.
The corner of Lovett's mouth twitched. Princess Vivi was sixteen when she first appeared, which means she is fourteen years old now.
But such a young girl dared to come to Rainfield alone to investigate because she suspected something was wrong with Crocodile.
If Lovett hadn't happened to attract Crocodile's attention, whether he could have left alive would have been a problem.
"I'm very curious, Princess Weiwei, why do you think there is something wrong with the country's great hero?"
After saying that, Lovett moved his fingers, and a breeze blew through, tearing the tape apart.
"Well……"
The girl Weiwei was so painful that she shed tears, but she quickly glared at Nicole Robin fiercely and said in a childish voice: "It's very simple, there is a problem with the funds!"
"They made so much money by opening the Yudian Casino in Yudi, but I looked at Yudi's tax statements and found that such a large amount of money never flowed out of Yudi for several years. There is definitely something wrong!"
Since you can't find where the money has gone on the surface, it obviously means that the money has flowed out from behind.
She is indeed a princess, the angle is so tricky!
The corner of Lovett's mouth twitched, which could be regarded as the answer to an unsolved mystery in the original work.
Robin was also stunned: "It's just...that's it?"
"Isn't it weird? Sand Crocodile is not greedy for money. He only has one business under his command, Yu Yan, and Yu Yan can't even pile up the money he makes. Where did the money go? Well... I haven't... Wuwu!"
After regaining control of the bandage and "silencing her", Lovett picked up the wine glass to help her swallow, and said: "She will be a qualified princess."
Robin nodded silently. With such a keen sense of smell at such a young age, she would indeed be a qualified princess.
"But it's not enough!"
Suddenly, Lovett's words made Robin feel nervous.
"If I want to completely trample Crocodile into the mud, I need a knife to stab him in the heart... You can help me, right?"
Do I have a choice?
Robin smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass: "Of course!"
…
The next day, leaden clouds hung low, and murderous intent was strong.
As one of the few cities in China where it will rain this year, people in rainy areas have long been accustomed to dark cloud weather, but such thick dark clouds still make them feel uneasy.
What made them even more uneasy was the black line that appeared on the horizon as the morning light came on.
That's a... well-disciplined army of sand!
Countless artillery and guns are arrayed in positions outside the rainfield. The number is more than 100,000?!
"Array!!"
Loud shouts echoed in the empty desert, spreading in all directions. As the kingdom's strongest warrior, Bell, roared, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Alabasta in white robes stopped neatly, facing forward and waiting solemnly.
"Fortunately, that guy happened to be out for the past few days, giving us time to kidnap him, otherwise it would really make them suspicious."
In the middle of the army, King Kobra of Alabasta looked strange and whispered to Crocodile beside him.
"Seriously, you are not Mr. 2 now, but the King of Alabasta!"
Crocodile scolded unceremoniously in a low voice, his eyes cold.
He saw the familiar figure on the city wall, Yudi was not bombed as planned, and Nico Robin's betrayal was confirmed.
But soon a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Remember, kill him immediately when you get back. I will lead people to support Weiwei as the queen. Remember not to make any mistakes."
"Yes, I know."
Scanned by that cold gaze, Mr.2 swallowed and nodded repeatedly.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Jaka, another adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, came to the throne with anger in his eyes.
"The people in the city are calling for help from us. Do you want to order an attack?"
"Not yet, let's lure him out first."
The speaker was Crocodile. After thinking about it carefully all night, he finally remembered the piece of information that seemed like a joke at the time. Now he was horrified when he thought about it carefully, because the strength that the Black Earl showed in a crowded place was truly terrifying.
.
Jaka ignored him and still looked at Kobra loyally.
The latter was a little creeped out by what he saw, so he coughed dryly and said: "Just do as Mr. Crocodile said. A large-scale attack will easily injure the people."
"clear!"
After receiving the order, Jaka turned around and left, telling Bell the order.
"As expected of His Majesty Kobra, he loves his people like his own son."
With reverence in his eyes, Bell led his guards forward: "Black Earl! Your trial has come, surrender without mercy!"
