Crocodile is here, this guy is finally willing to show up, but he probably came after hearing Robin's words from the black phone bug.
When he appeared at the door, Ian couldn't help but give Robin a meaningful look.
Ian is very clear that Robin lied just now, and it was a deliberate lie. Crocodile has been looking for news about the ancient weapon Pluto, but the whereabouts of Pluto is only recorded on the historical text stele. The reason for choosing to protect Robin and cooperate with her, Robin is well aware of this, so after reading Ian's rubbings, he deliberately mentioned the matter of Hades...
This is why Ian just said that Robin is really courageous. The so-called courage does not mean that she dared to fool herself, but that she dared to provoke a fight between Crocodile and herself, the two Qibuhai !
Yes! This is probably Robin's purpose. Just like Crocodile did not trust Robin, Robin also did not trust Crocodile. He didn't think about making trouble for Crocodile, but that was because no one who could counter Crocodile appeared, so Robin seemed to obey Crocodile.
But now, Ian, who is also Shichibukai, has appeared in Alabasta, so Robin has a chance to add trouble to Crocodile.
What would it be like if the two Qibukai fought for information on the ancient weapon Pluto? Robin would love to see this.
If Crocodile wins, it doesn't mean that he can get the rubbing information, Ian may escape with the rubbings, and if Ian wins, it may not be able to take Crocodile, Robin It is still useful to Crocodile, so when Crocodile escapes, he will definitely take Robin with him.
And the biggest possibility is that both of them will suffer a loss. In that case, Robin might be able to escape Crocodile's control
Although everything is unknown, Ian has to say that Robin is really playing with fire. Didn't she ever think that if she and Crocodile join forces to reach an agreement, in turn press her and ask her to tell the truth? What should she do if the whereabouts of Pluto in the rubbing content? In this case, if the two Qi Wuhai joined forces to press her, she might be worse than death...
Ian felt that it was impossible for a woman as smart as Robin not to have considered such a consequence, but she still did it anyway. Why
There is only one explanation, Robin is really as Ian understands, in fact, she is faintly dying now...
The dream has always been out of reach, and there are so many people who stand in front of her to hinder her dream, the world government, C, and characters as strong as Qi Wuhai, appearing in front of her one after another, all for her It’s just the ability to decipher ancient texts. No one has ever really worried about her. She can only stay in the dark, guarding against other people’s calculations, and also calculating others. Such days have made her unable to persevere. up.
Ian faintly grasped Robin's psychology at the moment, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is a poor woman.
Therefore, he didn't plan to argue with Robin so much, turned his head, and Ian looked at Crocodile who appeared at the door, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, and lazily said: "Oh, this is not a sand crocodile Your Excellency?"
"Stinky boy!" Crocodile bit his cigar, looked at Ian with a haughty and indifferent gaze, and said, "Did you come to my site just to mock me?"
"The main reason is that I think that you, Qi Wuhai, have actually done something like eavesdropping..." Ian spread his hands, shrugged and said, "It's really worthless!"
"Do I need to ask for your permission for what I want to do?" Crocodile gave Ian a cold look, then ignored him at all, and asked Robin, "Nicole Robin, is what you just said true? ? The rubbings of the historical text brought by this kid are the information of Pluto?"
"Yes, mention it!" Robin nodded.
Robin's calculation of Ian and Crocodile is nothing more than knowing that neither Ian nor Crocodile can understand ancient texts. For a person who can interpret ancient texts, it is natural for her to say what the two of them can only believe. , which is why she was able to successfully get Crocodile to come.
And what makes her smarter is that she didn't say that Ian's rubbings of the historical text recorded the information of Pluto, she just said "to mention a little bit"!
In this way, even if Crocodile is very sure that the real whereabouts of Pluto is on the historical text hidden by the Alabasta royal family, there is no way to refute her current statement.
Who would know if there is any mention of Pluto in other historical texts
Therefore, even if Crocodile's suspicious character has doubts about Robin's statement, he can't let go of the rubbing in Ian's hands. He can only find a way to get it, because Crocodile is very Pluto is determined to win.
Ian watched the conversation between Crocodile and Robin with a smile on his face, without interrupting.
"..." After Crocodile confirmed this matter from Robin, Crocodile was silent for a while, then raised the pirate iron hook in his right hand, pointed at Ian and said, "Boy, take your rubbing Leave it to me! In exchange, I can promise you a request!"
It can be seen that Crocodile is still a bit jealous of Ian. Not to mention that he is also Shichibukai, Crocodile has seen the live broadcast of Ian's battle with the yellow monkey in Salamis Island. Yes, he knew how strong Ian was, and he thought to himself that he was not sure that he could easily defeat Ian, so he proposed this exchange.
Robin listened to the exchange between Crocodile and Ian expressionlessly, and felt that Ian would not agree.
However, what Robin didn't expect was that Ian, who obviously didn't understand ancient characters, had already found out that Robin was lying through various clues before.
Although Ian understood and sympathized with Robin, he didn't intend to follow her wishes.
So, Ian smiled and picked up the rubbing inscription, and said to Crocodile: "Do you want this rubbing? Yes, I can give it to you!"
When Robin heard this, he was startled, and his eyes hidden by the brim of his cowboy hat became faintly flustered.
And Crocodile was also taken aback, he didn't expect Ian to be so easy to talk, so he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Boy, you are indeed an interesting person, it is not in vain that I supported you in the inquiry letter."
While speaking, he walked towards Ian, intending to take the rubbing from Ian.
At this moment, Ian abruptly put away the rubbings and said, "What's the hurry? I haven't mentioned my request yet!"
Crocodile stopped in his tracks and said, "Okay, tell me!"
Ian pointed to Robin beside him and said, "My request is, I want to take this beauty away!"
When Nicole Robin heard this, she couldn't help but take a step back, and Crocodile's eyes widened. They never thought that Ian's request would be like this!
"Damn, are you kidding me!?" Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, "If you take her away, what's the use of me getting the historical text!?"
That's right, even the people who decipher the ancient characters are gone, even if you get the rubbings, it will be useful!
On the other hand, Robin had a vague feeling that the focus of the two people's struggle seemed to be shifted from the historical text to her by Ian's words.
This is quite a bit like watching a play as singing, and stock trading becomes a feeling of being a shareholder, and the primary and secondary positions change immediately.
Crocodile was also reminded by Ian's words at this moment, and realized the importance of Robin, so he said to Robin, "Nicole Robin, come to my side!"
Hearing Crocodile's order, Robin subconsciously wanted to walk over, but at this moment, Ian suddenly whispered to her: "If he finds out that you are lying, he will kill you... "
"What do you mean?" Robin's expression changed.
Ian didn't say anything directly, but smiled and said, "Come with me, I will give you freedom and take you to find your dream!"
There was a reason why he said such words suddenly.
When he was on Magnetic Drum Island before, Ian could actually take Chopper away, but he didn't do so, but now, he wants to take Robin away because he suddenly thought of something.
The Revolutionary Army seems to have been looking for Robin...
