Barbaroque Works.
Peripheral base, inside the highest-level office.
Nico Robin was leaning next to the desk alone, holding several intelligence documents in his hand, and was lost in thought, his eyes looking a little solemn.
Different from the relaxed and playful look she showed when facing Crocodile, she was actually a little solemn about the appearance of Lieutenant General Ron.
the reason is simple.
She is now under the command of Crocodile, equivalent to the subordinate of the King Shichibukai. Both the navy and the government have stopped arresting her. But once Crocodile falls, the navy and government will arrest her again. Coming immediately.
If Ron's purpose is really to deal with Crocodile, then it is equivalent to dealing with her, and her situation will not be much better than Crocodile.
“The princess joined the Baroque Working Society…”
Robin looked at the piece of information about Vivi in his hand and pondered.
She had already taken action when Crocodile reminded her, mobilizing the Baroque Works' spy to keep an eye on Weiwei, so Weiwei's joining the Baroque Works could not be hidden from her at all, and she had already discovered it.
But she didn't make any response, but continued to look for traces of Ron.
Weiwei is not important. Even though she is a princess, she will not pose any threat. The real threat comes from Lieutenant General Ron, and the key is that Ron has disappeared. The informants of Baroque Works have long lost track of Luo. Well, now I have no idea where Ron is.
It is very scary for a lieutenant general to hide in the dark while possibly keeping an eye on the Baroque Working Group, even if the leader of the Baroque Working Group is Shichibukai.
"It's not sure if he is really involved in this matter. If so, then he should have directed the princess's infiltration. Maybe he can design it..."
Robin began to make plans in his mind.
She felt that she could arrange a situation where Vivi was on a mission but encountered a dangerous situation, and if Ron showed up to rescue Vivi, it would mean that Ron was indeed meddling in Baroque Works.
In this case, it can be reported, and Crocodile will decide whether to warn him or try to bury Ron directly in the desert.
but.
Before she could put her plan together, a voice suddenly came from the window.
"Don't arrange any dangerous plans for a fourteen-year-old princess. That would be too bad. If you have any plans, just come to me."
"?!"
Robin was startled, and suddenly turned to look at the window, and saw that the window had been opened at some point, and a figure was sitting on the edge of the window, looking at her lightly.
The moment he saw Ron's figure, Robin's heart sank, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he began to think of countermeasures quickly.
The worst case scenario has occurred!
Ron had been hiding in secret. Not only did they fail to find Ron, but Ron found her and appeared directly in front of her.
"Lieutenant General Ron, it seems that the Navy... cannot interfere in the Shichibukai's affairs casually." Robin's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he tilted his head towards Ron and spoke.
Ron smiled lightly and said: "Of course not in my capacity as a navy, but in my personal capacity to protect the princess, there is nothing wrong with talking to you."
The Shichibukai's restrictions on the navy are indeed huge.
Even though all of Crocodile's conspiracies were exposed in the original work, and Smoker the Smoker was even imprisoned, the Navy was never able to get the order to arrest Crocodile.
It wasn't until Crocodile was completely defeated by Luffy and the situation was irreversible that the World Government tampered with the facts and claimed that the navy exposed Crocodile's conspiracy and defeated him.
Another example is Doflamingo, who placed spy Vergo in the navy, secretly manufactured weapons and traded them with the Four Emperors, and personally killed a large number of marines... All of his bad behavior failed to allow the World Government to remove him from the Shichibukai. Luffy only took away the title after defeating him.
"Lieutenant General Ron is very concerned about this little princess of Alabasta."
Robin moved his fingers slightly, ready to activate his abilities at any time. At the same time, he spoke to Ron and said: "... It seems that the motives are a little impure, right?"
"I want to marry her and become king of Alabasta."
Ron smiled at Robin.
Robin's movements paused, and there was a hint of astonishment on his face. He never expected to get such an answer. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then said in a strange tone: "The princess of Alabasta... is only fourteen years old. "
“So it’s not something that can be done all at once.”
Ron spread his hands towards Robin, jumped down from the window sill, walked to the sofa nearby and sat down, picked up an apple, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said: "It will be at least two or three years later, but now After all, you have to do something that needs to be done.”
Robin was speechless for a while, but he gradually cleared his mind and showed a trace of his original expression, saying, "So, in fact, we may not be enemies."
"oh?"
Ron gnawed on the apple and leaned on the sofa to look at Robin.
Robin knew that Ron must have gathered a lot of information, and that they secretly instigated the riot. His thoughts were intertwined in his mind and he said: "If you want to be the king of Alabasta, then you have to give up your identity as a navy. That way we don’t have opposing positions and maybe we can work together.”
"Oh? How to cooperate?"
Ron threw the apple core into the trash can.
Robin put a hand on his chin and said: "We can help you get the princess and the throne of Alabasta, and in exchange, you only need to meet one of our conditions after achieving your goal. "
Ron continued casually: "I will hand you the historical text tablet of Alabasta."
"?!"
Robin's heart was shaken violently.
Ron actually knew this. This was the ultimate goal that only she and Crocodile knew. How could he know it
"Ancient weapons... Hades..."
Ron touched his chin as if talking to himself and said: "There are rumors that a ship can destroy an island with one shot. I am also very curious about the structure and principle of that weapon."
Robin couldn't keep his composure any longer.
"How...how do you know this..."
The thought of Crocodile betraying her and betraying her to the Navy even flashed through her mind, but this didn't make sense at all. Without her, Crocodile would not have been able to translate the text on the historical monument, and once the Navy knew about it, The government will definitely intervene!
Ron smiled and said with a deep look: "How do you know... You can regard it as analysis and guessing. Your reaction completely confirmed my guess."
