679 The Holy Land was scared to death by several Tianlong people (8,000 words)
"ah?"
Ace never expected that this strange ghost companion next to his brother would come to him and say something like this.
He stared at the other party with a look of knowledge, and said seriously: "Whether I am his opponent or not does not affect me as the captain. I must catch the bastard who killed my companions and deal with this matter."
"B.I.B" was silent.
I knew this would be the result.
Doesn't Ace know that Teach is very strong?
After being a companion on the ship for so long, how could this kid not sense that Teach was hiding something so secretly?
But he came anyway.
Just like Luffy knew that the Shichibu Kaisha Crocodile was a very powerful opponent but still stood up.
Ace raised his finger and pushed the brim of his hat, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know you, but thank you for your concern. If you also told Luffy, and after he heard about it, he wanted to step in to help me... Then please do it for me
Let me punch him!"
"..."
Just when Fire Fist stepped on the one-man flame boat and was about to start jetting away, "B.I.B" gave him one last piece of advice: "The essence of the ability of the Dark Fruit is 'gravity'."
"...?!"
Hey, Ace stepped on the flame boat and turned around in surprise to look at the black shadow suspended in mid-air.
The other party's narrow eyes shimmered, staring at him deeply, and slowly said: "Not only can it swallow matter like a black hole, but... it can also attract the devil fruit factor in the body of the esper. In other words, he can make you
The ability to burn fruits is invalidated.』
Ace's expression changed several times, "I probably understand why he insists on this fruit..." He was stunned in place for a moment.
"B.I.B" said this, turned around and flew back to the direction of the Meili.
On the way, I glanced back and could vaguely see Ace's freckled face, gradually showing a slightly ferocious angry look...
But after all, it’s just a Devil Fruit! Tikki, if you want it so much, you can ask for it! Why don’t you say a word and even kill your companions?!
Or, you bastard, have never regarded anyone as a partner?
Boom!!!
The single-person boat spewed huge waves of flames from behind and sped away in the blink of an eye.
"B.I.B" was speechless, it knew that when things developed to this point, it would be almost impossible to stop Ace.
Unless the encounter between Blackbeard and the Dark Fruit can be prevented. Otherwise, as soon as that guy gets the Dark Fruit, regardless of whether he kills his companions or not, as long as Blackbeard dares to run away, Ace will definitely dare to chase him. He must ask clearly.
It's just that Blackbeard killed someone and then ran away. When Fire Fist found him, he was even angrier and more determined.
This is like Usopp in the Straw Hats suddenly cutting Chopper with a knife one day and running away. At this time, he wants to stop Luffy from finding Usopp to settle the score?
Pull it down!
"B.I.B" floated back to the Merry, and Luffy and others were listening to Vivi show her determination. Seeing it coming back, Luffy asked curiously: "Blackie, what did you tell Ace?"
Robin raised his head and saw "B.I.B"'s helmet condensing in the air, and said calmly: "I don't think he can beat the person he wants to catch, so I want to persuade him to turn back."
"Isn't this terrible?" Usopp sweated after hearing this, "If you can't beat him, it will be very dangerous!"
Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper looked at Luffy, "Should we help your brother?"
"Forget it!" Luffy said with a smile, "Ace has his own adventure. Besides, he is much more powerful than me. If I help him because I am worried about him, I will definitely get beaten by him."
"He said, if Luffy wants to help me, punch him for me..."
After "B.I.B" finished speaking, the helmet gradually disappeared in the air.
"Think of it together, you are really brothers..." Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper were all ashamed. Luffy laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, let's set off too!"
The Mellie soon set sail and headed to the oasis Chiefba to find the rebel base camp.
"B.I.B"'s narrow eyes shimmered, looking at the sea where Ace was leaving from a distance. Although it reminded Ace of the ability of the Dark Fruit,... the effect is probably very limited!
After all, in the comics, Ace listened to Blackbeard himself and learned about the general abilities of the Dark Fruit not long after the battle began.
Ace didn't lose because of poor intelligence, he simply couldn't beat him.
"Don't you really want Luffy's brother to find Marshall D. Teach?" Robin asked next to him.
Of course she still remembered that Blackbeard, whom Luffy's brother said killed his companions, was the man Lynch wanted to kill on Whitebeard's ship.
"B.I.B" folded his arms and said calmly: "I'm here now, so I'd rather give it a try."
Robin was speechless.
Over there, Nami and Vivi waved to her. After Robin passed by, he found that they were studying how to march in the desert after landing later.
Robin listened for a while, then took out the green phone bug from the small bag at his waist, "Let Xiaolu help."
Nami's eyes lit up, she hugged Robin's arm affectionately, and said happily: "Sister Robin! It's great to have you here!"
"I do not want!"
When we got off the boat, we were faced with the endless desert in front of us. The climate was hot, dry and exposed to the sun.
After hearing the plan of rushing, Luffy refused directly, folding his arms with a look of reluctance, "Anyway, someone must be holding the green boy outside and walking in the desert under the sun, right? In this case, it's better to be hot
Let’s all warm up together!”
The partners were very moved by this speech about sharing the joys and sorrows.
With tears in her eyes, Nami looked at Vivi's shocked eyes and punched Luffy.
Nami said speechlessly: "You idiot! The key point is to save fresh water! If a bunch of people are basking in the sun in the desert, they will soon drink up all the fresh water!"
Robin glanced at Chopper, who was already so hot that he was almost smoking because of his thick fur, and suggested: "How about taking turns holding the little green outside in the desert while the others replenish their strength in the castle?
?”
Zoro readily agreed, "No objection, I'll be the first to do it!"
"You have no right to wander around alone outside!" Sanji and Usopp punched the green algae head at the same time, "You are such a fool, do you want to take us back to the East China Sea?"
Zoro covered his head with questions, why did he say that to him?
Luffy puffed up his head and raised his fists: "Then let's... set off..."
"I'll take the castle phone bug outside first!" Weiwei said with a smile, "After all, I'm more accustomed to the desert environment."
Sanji said courteously: "I will make a special drink for you to relieve the heat in the castle, Weiwei~~!! Of course, there will also be Miss Nami and Sister Robin~~"
"Hey! Where are we?" Usopp said with a knife in his hand.
Sanji said: "Can you just drink some tap water?"
At this time, Chopper twitched his blue nose, turned around in surprise, and saw Robin standing there, not following the others.
Luffy asked strangely: "Robin, Blackie, what's wrong with you?"
Robin looked to another place in the distance and said calmly: "You go find the rebels... I am personally more interested in what Crocodile is planning in this country. So I want to investigate on my own."
Nami quickly brought Xiaolu and wanted to return it to Robin, "Sister Robin, you are more dangerous alone. This is still you, Sister Robin -"
Nami grew an arm on her arm and stopped her. "There are more of you, so you need more food in the castle." Robin looked back briefly and nodded to a few people, "Don't worry about me. - Chopper, you too
Follow them. Aren't you most afraid of heat? It's more comfortable to stay in Xiaolu's castle. If you follow me, you will get heatstroke..."
"I'm a doctor, I'm not afraid of heat stroke." Chopper wanted to catch up with Robin.
Robin said: "Be good." He stretched out a hand and touched Chopper's forehead, pushing it back towards Luffy and the others.
After waving his hand, Robin gradually walked away in the other direction.
Of course, in Luffy's eyes, Black Boy was as usual, accompanying Robin around like a black-armored knight, gradually drifting away.
"Robin..." Chopper murmured as he watched her go away.
A gust of wind from the desert blew past, robbing the robes of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Nami's hair was flying and she said to herself: "I always feel like Sister Robin will never come back once she leaves..."
"What are you talking about, Nami? Didn't Robin say she was going to investigate?" Luffy glanced at her in confusion, turned around and walked away happily, "Let's leave quickly!"
"Wait! Luffy!" Sanji and the others chased after him and said angrily, "We've already agreed to hide in the Telephone Bug Castle and take turns to rest, right?"
Several people walked away noisily, disappeared on the sand dunes one by one, and entered the little green body.
…
"What are you still looking at?"
Robin walked forward alone and pulled back his hair that was blown by the wind and sand.
"B.I.B" withdrew his gaze and floated up from behind, "Look at that poor little thing."
"..." Robin turned to ask, "Do you think what Crocodile is plotting in this country is related to the historical text?"
"Maybe!"
"B.I.B" folded his arms and drifted with him, "Just go and ask and you will know."
"Um."
Robin pressed his hood and braved the wind and sand along the road, leaving a series of footprints that were quickly buried on the dune behind him.
On the way, the sand suddenly collapsed, and a huge purple lizard emerged from the pouring sea of sand.
Although the aura was amazing, it was just that. Robin didn't want "B.I.B" to do any extra consumption, and he didn't even want it to use its overlord color to scare the big purple lizard. He just summoned an identical one with one move of his own hand.
The big purple lizard opened its mouth and wrapped its teeth with dark domineering energy, biting its own body... Domineering energy exists in every living thing, including these animals of course. Based on Robin's current experience, even if he spends his time copying
The target is not domineering herself, and she can also control the power hidden in their body on behalf of the other person.
Rumble…
The big purple lizard flew across the desert, kicking up a large cloud of yellow sand.
Robin made a chair with the limbs of the flower fruit, lay comfortably on the back of the desert lizard, and headed towards the nearby big city.
Given the reputation and status of King Crocodile's Shichibukai, you can find out just by asking any locals where he mainly conducts his activities.
"B.I.B" is sitting back-to-back on a large purple lizard. The part of the mecha with its legs that is attached to the lizard's back has materialized, so it does not need to fly and is carried by the lizard.
Ten years of life-returning practice...
Its long and narrow eyes were "closed", and everything was pitch black.
Perhaps, it is really predetermined by chance...
When the ontology was first involved in the field of life return in its early years, it had gradually mastered the characteristic of "energy storage for later use". It seemed that from that time on, it had been secretly preparing for this disaster.
"B.I.B" has been deduced in my mind countless times.
The worst case scenario it can guess is that the main body will maintain a "low power consumption" "power saving mode" for at least ten years, accumulating daily body energy...
Not crazy, not live.
After ten years of accumulation, when it becomes one with the main body, will it explode on the spot, or will it soar into the sky and ascend on the spot?

〖City of Dreams, "Rainland"〗
〖"Yuyan" Casino, in the backstage passage——〗
despair……
despair……
despair……
In the empty corridor, many cadres of Baroque Walter's black suits were lying in random directions. From the front, the sound of high heels echoed, one by one, heading deeper into the corridor.
Da. The beautiful figure in a black leather jacket and black ponytail stopped and glanced back and upward.
Chopper, Luffy, Nami...?
They came here so quickly. It seems that they did not follow Princess Weiwei to find the base camp of the so-called rebels...
…
In the bright and spacious hall, sitting on the big chair at one end of the luxurious long table, His Majesty Shichibukai Crocodile, wearing a large cloak, was chewing a cigar, turning the lighter with one hand, and tapping lightly on the table with the other.
Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at the side door on the side of the hall. There was a soft sound of high heels approaching from behind the door, and he finally stood still. Then, on the door handle on this side of the hall, there were flower petals spinning up, and a soft arm grew out.
, his slender fingers grasped the handle and twisted it open.
Silently, the side door was pushed open.
A black figure walked in, his dark green eyes looking at the frowning Crocodile at the end of the long table, "Long time no see, Sand Crocodile."
"..." Crocodile bit his cigar, with a rather unsightly expression on his face, and said coldly, "Throughout the whole day today, reports of my subordinates disappearing in Yudi City continued to arrive... Apparently, it was a good thing you did.
Right? Kong Tiao Xu Lun!"
"I haven't heard anyone say this name for a long time."
Robin lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, walked slowly to the end of the long table, pulled out a chair, and sat down opposite Crocodile.
"hehe……"
Crocodile bit his cigar and sneered, "Or should I just call you Nicole Robin, or... Son of the Devil? You have been missing for ten years, and now you suddenly appear in Alabasta, and you have killed many of my men, and you came all the way here.
What do you want to do when you meet me?"
"You seem to be very nervous." Robin put his hands on the table, "Don't worry, the person who can steal your Shasha Fruit is not here now..."
At this moment, a clear roar of a young man suddenly erupted from the direction of the casino outside:
“Krokdal————come out————!!!!”
Hearing this noisy voice, Crocodile's eyes suddenly darkened and he stared at the eerie woman opposite, "...You can't be one of these rookie pirates who just ran into the Grand Line, right?
!”
Robin said: "This has nothing to do with you."
Crocodile touched his golden left hook and said coldly: "Then tell me, what does it have to do with me?"
Robin stared at the other person and spoke slowly: "The text of history."
"...?!" Crocodile's eyes twitched slightly, and the change in his expression was not obvious, but for Robin, it was enough to make a judgment. "You are entrenched in this country, and you really have an agenda... Moreover, it is related to history.
The text is relevant."
There were bloodshot eyes in Crocodile's eyes, and he said coldly: "Don't think--"
Boom!!
As he was talking, a large piece of the ceiling area next to him suddenly fell, and a square sea-floor stone prison fell from the upper floor.
"Robin?!" "Sister Robin!" "Are you here too?" "..."
Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro in the cage were all very surprised. Smoker, who was sitting behind them, heard their shouting and was immediately shocked by the name they said.
He kept his cold face and said in astonishment: "What did you say!?"
He stood up in a hurry, rushed to Luffy's side, and grabbed the prison fence. Suddenly, like Luffy, his limbs were so weak from the sea tower stone fence.
"Nico...Robin...?!" Smoker stared hard at the woman sitting opposite Crocodile, "Could it be that you are another member of the Straw Hats..."
"..." Robin looked at the people in the cage.
Luffy picked his nose in confusion, "I just heard Robin's name. Why is he so surprised?"
Zoro said to himself: "The same goes for Crocodile. He is obviously a Shichibukai, but he seems a little nervous..."
"Did you see that we were nervous?" Luffy said. Usopp gave him a hand knife, "How is that possible!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
Crocodile suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out of the corners of his eyes, "I never thought that the majestic former king of the Shichibukai, the 'Devil's Son' Nico Robin, would actually fight with such a few rookie pirates.
Mixed together...it really made me laugh to death!!"
"...?!" Nami, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp all looked at him in confusion.
Did they hear it correctly just now?
"Rororororo Robin bin bin bin bin..." Usopp backed away in shock, "Robin used to be a Shichibukai?!!!!"
Nami murmured to herself, "No wonder Sister Robin was so indifferent when she mentioned Crocodile before..."
Ah? Sand Crocodile's brow is twitching. Can you please lower your voice when you are mumbling? Do you think I can't hear you?!
"Who do you think is nervous? Rookies." He looked at Luffy and the others in the cage with a shadowy look on his face, "In this desert country, even she cannot be my opponent."
"Yeah?"
Robin stood up with his hands on the table, "I'll ask again..."
Silently, several arms emerged from Crocodile's body, and each hand was wrapped in military colors and turned pitch black!
"You don't hesitate to cause internal turmoil in this country, but you also want to plot the 'text of history'..." Robin controlled five armed palms and aimed them at various vital points on Crocodile's head, "Where are they?"
What did she say? Smoker, who had been staring in the prison, even shrank his pupils. Could it be that His Majesty Qibu Haisha Crocodile...?!
Is that the Haki that Robin mentioned? Armed Haki?
Sauron stared closely at the dark arms growing out of Crocodile's body.
"...?!" Crocodile immediately turned into a ball of yellow sand before Robin's attack fell, and quickly flew to another location. He was not completely materialized, but half sand and half human, staring coldly at
Looking at Robin, he was about to speak, but Robin nodded and said to himself: "It seems that you don't know where the historical text you want to find is..."
Crocodile raised his golden left hook and said coldly: "You still want to trick me? You're dreaming!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and swung it, turning it into a sword of yellow sand and slashing towards Robin.
Bang!!! The long table and the floor were cut into two pieces. Such an astonishing attack made Zoro's eyelids jump in the cage. After Robin turned away, he raised his hand and was about to fight back, but heard the cage
Luffy inside shouted: "Robin!!"
Robin stepped away in a daze, and Crocodile also frowned and looked over in confusion, "Young man wearing a straw hat, stay in your prison. What are you calling for?"
"I promised Weiwei! I will beat you up hard, you bastard!!"
Luffy stared at Crocodile coldly from behind the cage, then he looked at Robin, took two steps back, and slowly clenched his fists, "Robin, you are actually very powerful, right? But we can't always do it.
Let you play pirate games with us... We will definitely encounter opponents more powerful than this scar-faced bastard in the future. If we can't even defeat this guy, what will we do in the future?"
"So this guy -" Luffy said seriously, "we must defeat him here!!!"
The powerful words echoed in the room, and Crocodile was stunned for a moment. Was he being underestimated too much?!
"Luffy..." Nami looked at Luffy in surprise, who was more serious than ever before.
"Nami, Luffy is right." Zoro tied a turban and put his hand on the handle of the knife, "If we can't master the Haki here, how can we have the nerve to continue sailing with Robin and Black Boy?"
Smoker watched with twitching eyes. Do these pirates who are just newborn calves not afraid of tigers know what level of great pirate the woman they are talking about is?
While you were still playing pirate games at home, this woman and that man had already achieved astonishing fame all over the world...
"Why are you saying so much?" Nami complained and said depressedly, "You are so shameless...Did Usopp also make you feel shameless?"
Usopp, who had been at a loss since just now, was suddenly cueed by Nami and said depressedly: "Why are you just talking about me?!"
"This is different!" Zoro pulled out two sharp knives, "You are a navigator, Usopp is a ship repairer, and what about Luffy and I? The only skill we have is fighting!"
"Hey!" Usopp threw his hands away depressedly, "Who is the ship repairman? I am a sniper..."
"..." Robin looked at them quietly, then suddenly turned back and glanced behind him, at the top of the tall steps.
boom!!!
At this moment, the luxurious front door at the top of the steps was suddenly kicked open, and several figures stood in the backlight.
"Sanji! Vivi! Chopper!"
Vivi is on the left, the reindeer is on the right, and the knight in a black suit is in the middle. Under the gaze of many people in the hall below, Sanji puffed out his smoke and said with a smile: "Sister Robin, is this here? You are quite nice.
, not only the King's Shichibukai, but also the navy!"
Robin nodded to Sanji. Of course she had just used the flower fruit to guide Sanji and the others to come here.
"actually……"
She sighed softly, turned around, raised her hand, and threw something into the cage fence. Nami caught it blankly, "The key? It was taken from the sand crocodile during the fight just now..."
What?! Crocodile touched his coat pocket and found that the key was indeed missing.
Click, Nami quickly opened the door of the sea tower stone prison, and Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, she and the silent marine walked out together.
Robin shook his head, "The most I can do is consume his energy for you..."
As she said that, under the surprised gazes of Chopper, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Vivi, and Smoker, half of her face quickly withered and turned into petals flying away.
Was it just a clone from the beginning?! When the Sand Crocodile saw this scene, more bloodshot eyes appeared. I was actually tricked by a clone?!
Before the flower clone disappeared, he saw Luffy clapping his fists and palms together, glaring at the sand crocodile and laughing: "Are you ready? Stinky sand!"
"Hmph... I think this crocodile is perfect for testing knives!" Zoro clenched his two knives.
"Robin..." Chopper looked at the disintegrated flower clone, who nodded to it, "They're leaving it to you, Chopper..."
"Hmm!!" The little reindeer's fighting spirit suddenly burned.
Sanji was the first to kick Crocodile on the head and said with a smile: "Crocodile, have you ever been kicked by gold?"
Smoker remained silent and watched all this with a gloomy face. He also watched Nicole Robin's flower clone finally disintegrate and turn into clusters of petals floating away...
…
"Ahead is the royal capital 'Albana'."
Robin opened her eyes and heard the reminder of "B.I.B" in her ears. She nodded, stood up on the seat on top of the moving crab, looked up and looked at the approaching capital in the desert in front of her.
After searching in the rainy land to no avail, she left a flower clone and searched for the sand crocodile in the rainy land, hoping to get some information.
On the other hand, her body went directly to the royal capital of Alabasta.
If there really is a historical text in this country, then the people who are most likely to know where that thing is... I am afraid that only the Neferutari royal family had the opportunity to become a member of the Celestial Dragons but gave up.
The current king, Nefertari Kobra.
"What's wrong?" "B.I.B" saw her and didn't speak for a long time.
Robin said: "Chopper and the others have already encountered the Sand Crocodile in the Rain Land..."
"B.I.B" said: "Don't worry, not to mention Chopper, it can master multiple transformations on its own. It can also use the 'Send Bean', the result of researching bloodline factors with Kuleha...and..."
It paused and looked at the majestic palaces standing on the high slopes of the mountain top in front of it.
"The sons of Tulip and Dorag, as well as the descendants of Shuoyue in Wano Country, are not so easy to die at the hands of a mere sand crocodile..."
~~~~~~~~~~
In the splendid palace, there are magnificent bedrooms.
Weiwei's father, the king of the Kingdom of Sand, was rubbing his brows with a sad look on his face to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard a cold female voice: "Nefertari Kobra..."
"...?!"
Although Cobra was frightened, he turned to look at the source of the sound. His pupils suddenly shrank and he said in shock: "You are -"
Ta,ta,ta...
Robin, who had a single ponytail and black leather jacket and boots, was surrounded by jet-black armor that was invisible to the naked eye. She walked towards Kobra step by step and asked calmly: "The Sand Crocodile wants the historical text of this country hidden somewhere.
, do you know where that thing is?"
Kobra asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"...Now that you recognize who I am," Robin pulled out a chair and sat down, "there's no need to pretend to be stupid anymore, right?"
"..." Cobra was silent for a moment, rubbed his forehead, and sighed deeply, "That's true. However, I didn't expect that you, who had disappeared for ten years, would reappear...Nicole Robin.
"
"..." Robin's expression remained unchanged.
I don't know if this should be described as expressionless or dull. "I don't want to use force on you, Mr. King. If possible, it would be better to take me directly to the historical text... I just want to take a look."
Before Kobra could answer, a dark visor suddenly appeared in the air, and his narrow eyes shimmered, "I advise you to listen to her, otherwise if we do something to you, it won't be easy to follow her later."
Weiwei explains.』
"...Weiwei?!" Kobra's expression changed.
"That's right..." The black mask flew around the king and said quietly, "Nefertari Weiwei's Weiwei..."
Cobra's expression changed, and finally he stood up slowly, as if he had aged ten years, "I can take you to see..."
But after he took a few steps, he found that Nicole Robin didn't follow him.
Cobra looked back in confusion, only to see Nico Robin with his back turned to him. He hesitated for a while as if he didn't dare to ask, and then slowly said: "Mr. King, as someone who had the opportunity to become a Celestial Dragon eight hundred years ago,
As one of the descendants of the twenty kings...have you ever heard of any special rumors in the Holy Land Marie Joa?"
"Special rumors?" Kobra's eyes changed.
Robin still didn't dare to look back, pursed her lips, and waited for the answer from behind.
As if ten thousand eight hundred years had passed, Kobra finally said slowly: "Six years ago, when I was attending the World Conference in the Holy Land of Mariejoia, I did hear a rumor that was not true or not...
"
Nicole Robin still didn't look back. But Kobra clearly noticed that her shoulders were shaking slightly and her hands were clenched unconsciously.
Cobra sighed softly, touched his short gray beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "There were rumors near Pangu City in Marigioa that in the first two years of that time, several Celestial Dragons died mysteriously in Pangu City...
...And he died suddenly! No injuries could be found on his body...The death condition was extremely horrific..." His eyes were covered with a shadow, and he said faintly, "Many other Tianlong people were frightened. They said...those few
The Celestial Dragon looked like he was dead. There was obviously no trauma to his head, but his brain seemed overwhelmed! It was as if...
"I was sitting at home and was fine, and suddenly I was frightened to death by something!"
