Hawkeye's walking pace did not change at all.
Sure enough, you still care about it, redhead...
... ... ... ...
Alabasta, located in the front half of the Great Waterway, is a rare superpower.
However, today's Alabasta is shrouded in a shadow called the Shichibukai.
rainy ground.
It is located at the hub of Alabasta. The city is full of prosperity and is known as the dream city of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
In the center of Yudi City, there stands a magnificent pyramid-shaped casino built in the middle of the lake - Yuyan, which is the property of King Shichibukai Crocodile.
The bottom floor of Yuyan is a luxurious room that occupies a large area.
"Ta-ta..."
A tall figure pushed open the door to the room and stepped down the stairs.
The sound of high heels on the stairs echoed in the empty room.
Not far below the stairs, there is a dining table covered with white tablecloth.
A man with a slicked back hair and a transverse scar on his face sat at the dining table, raising his head slightly and looking at the woman who was coming down the stairs.
The man is King Shichibukai Crocodile.
And the mature woman who came down the stairs, dressed in cool clothes, with a large area of skin exposed to the air, is Crocodile's most capable subordinate at present - Nico Robin.
With a smile on his face and a reward order and letter in his hand, Robin gradually walked down the stairs and came to the dining table.
Then, she placed the reward order and letter on the table.
Crocodile glanced at the photo on the reward order with an expressionless expression, slowly put down his knife and fork, moved his index finger slightly, and a wisp of sand flew into the air towards the letter, and rolled it back into his hand.
Use your ability to corrode the opening of the envelope, and immediately pull out the letter paper inside.
Crocodile glanced at the contents of the letter a few times, sneered, and then the letter in his hand turned to dust silently.
Robin looked at Crocodile and smiled: "The Moria incident has caused quite a stir recently."
"Hmph, that guy Moria actually fell into the hands of a newcomer."
Crocodile, who had always been extremely conceited, had a look of disdain in his eyes, and turned to look at the reward order placed on the table by Robin again.
"However, this newcomer's bounty has increased quite quickly..."
As a newcomer with a hot topic this year, even Crocodile, who has devoted all his energy to the "Utopia Project", is slightly concerned.
"Yes."
Robin's face was smiling, but his eyes were calm, and he chuckled softly: "In terms of the increase in bounties, in recent years, only Fire Fist Ace, who is currently the captain of Whitebeard's second team, can rival it."
Crocodile's eyes turned cold when he heard the words related to Whitebeard.
That reaction was seen by Robin, and she still maintained the smile on her face despite knowing the truth.
Crocodile quickly covered up the coldness in his eyes and said calmly: "Go and ask the people below to prepare the ships."
"Are you going to participate in this Shichibukai meeting?"
Robin was a little surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel happy.
She joined Baroque Studio to hide her secrets. If Crocodile had to trek to Mariejoia to attend the Shichibukai Conference, it would undoubtedly be much easier for her to act secretly.
Crocodile looked at Robin coldly.
If it were anyone else, just this rhetorical question would be enough for Crocodile to take action and turn him into a mummy.
"What? You seem surprised?"
"Yes."
Robin did not hide it and said calmly: "The current situation is not a good time for you to take the time to leave."
"Guhaha..."
Crocodile suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly.
Robin's smile gradually faded, and he looked calm.
When the laughter subsided, Crocodile raised his golden hook hand and said expressionlessly:
"My current status is not only a hero of Alabasta, but also a conscientious Shichibukai. How could I miss such an 'important' meeting?"
"Understood, I'll go get someone to prepare the ship right away."
Robin smiled and turned towards the stairs.
Arriving at the bottom of the stairs, Robin's eyes sparkled.
Crocodile is going to attend the Shichibukai Conference, which is an excellent opportunity for her.
Thinking of this, the light in Robin's eyes grew even brighter.
She stepped up the stairs.
The soles of the shoes hit the steps, making a crisp echo.
"Day, I hope to see you on the deck of the ship in half an hour."
Crocodile calmly looked at the back of Robin who had just stepped up the stairs.
The meaning behind his words was to ask Robin to go to sea with him.
Robin suddenly stopped, his face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "In my position, it's not suitable for me to appear in public, and it's that kind of place..."
"Of course you can't go to that high place, so just wait for me down there."
“…”
Robin bit the corner of his lip.
Crocodile's insistence on her accompanying him made her heart skip a beat.
This means that she will lose a good opportunity to act secretly.
... ... ... ... ..
New world, Dressrosa.
Inside the Don Quixote family mansion.
"Furafur, Bacardi, Mod..."
Doflamingo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his sharp gaze falling through his sunglasses on the large wrinkled bounty order.
"That shadow bastard really can't help but fight, and... in less than a week, he went from Lore Island to the Devil's Triangle, Fufu..."
The deep laughter was filled with undisguised murderous intent.
"Young Master, do you need to prepare a boat?"
A cadre came behind Doflamingo, holding in his hand the summons letter brought by the Messenger Bat.
"Need not."
Doflamingo didn't even look back.
If he travels alone, the pseudo-flying ability of his Thread Fruit will be more convenient than a boat.
... ... ...
Somewhere in the sea.
A warship sails on the sea, its destination is the naval headquarters.
"Ah la la, the target is Moria."
On the deck, Aokiji leaned back on the deck chair and read the headlines in the newspaper about Mod killing Moria.
How did Maud cross the dense fog and dangers in the Devil's Triangle and find Moria directly? Aokiji knew it all.
Without the help of the bear, whether Moria can be found is still one thing. Going from Lore Island to the Devil's Triangle alone is not something that can be accomplished in just a week.
"Maud, are you trying to..."
Qing Pheasant suddenly thought of a certain possibility.
The position of Shichibukai…
Chapter 140 Supernovas
500 million.
This is Maude's current net worth.
As the Moria incident unfolded and combined with his current worth, Mod once again broke into the sight of countless pirates.
Not to mention the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line, even in the new world in the second half of the Grand Line, many pirates have their eyes on Mod.
Needless to say, the red-haired pirates have always paid attention to Mod.
The other four emperors, in addition to Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard will also pay attention to the new pirates who have not yet entered the new world, but have made a name for themselves first.
In fact, whether it is the Red-haired Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, or even Kaido's Beasts Pirates, they all have a tradition of recruiting new pirates into the group.
Therefore, they would more or less pay attention to the new pirates who were hired wantonly in the first half of the Grand Line.
When the new pirates enter the new world, they have to face the indestructible wall called the Four Emperors.
In front of this high wall, these new pirates either have to stop here, or they have to accept it and become the new blood of the Four Emperors.
When it comes to recruiting new people, the Red Hair Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates are more casual.
In contrast, Kaido's Beasts Pirates implement the principle of putting strength first.
Whenever a new star pirate catches his eye, what Kaido will do is to swipe it with his stick and defeat it first.
In this way, Kaido, who was sitting in the new world, conquered many powerful pirates.
When Mod's worth increased to 500 million, and the story of killing Shichibukai Moria spread, Kaido remembered Mod's name.
Once a newcomer with unlimited potential like this is absorbed into the team, there is a high probability that he will become a reliable cadre over time.
If they meet, Kaido will not take the initiative to recruit them, but he will not let them go either.
Whenever fresh blood is sent to him, he always has only two choices.
Death by being squeezed out of labor, or double surrender of body and spirit.
The Four Emperors paid a little attention to Mod, but in the first half of the Grand Line, the nine pirates who were also supernovas this year with Mod paid great attention to Mod.
We are both supernovas, so comparison always hurts.
At the beginning, when they were still complacent that the bounty exceeded 100 million, they were shocked to find that Mod had exceeded 300 million.
But when they were aiming for a bounty of 200 million, they were shocked to see Mod break through a bounty of 500 million, leaving them with a blank face behind them.
"500 million, 300 million more than me, quack..."
On a certain spring island in the Great Channel, a thin man with long hair covering his eyes smiled strangely.
"Bounty is not synonymous with strength, Bacardi Mod, right? I want to see...what's so special about you, Gaga..."
After saying that, the thin man raised his right hand, opened his mouth and stuck out his long tongue, habitually licking the hidden sword extending from his sleeve a few times.
Plop!
After the thin man finished licking the hidden blade, he froze and fell to the grass in less than three seconds.
Not far away, the crew members who heard the noise were startled.
"The captain accidentally licked the poison on his sword again..."
"Where's the ship's doctor?"
"Call the ship's doctor quickly!!!"
"Hurry up!"
Although they were used to the scene before them, these pirates were still as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
