In Ian's impression, the revolutionary army has always regarded Nicole Robin, the last survivor of O'Hara, as the lamp of revolution, and has been looking for her whereabouts, wanting to protect her, the only person who can understand ancient characters .
However, it may be because the intelligence strength of the Revolutionary Army was not well established at the beginning, so Robin could not be found. Later, Robin grew up, his appearance changed, and he hid in hiding. Specially hiding behind the scenes of those big bosses in the underground world, using them to cover up her identity, and now hiding under the command of Crocodile, the Shichibukai, it is even more difficult for the revolutionary army to find her.
Ian was the only exception. Although the Baroque studio acted mysteriously, it was no different from transparent to Ian, so he found Robin right away.
And the most coincidental thing is that Yi'an's current identity happens to be a revolutionary army cadre...
Coincidentally, Sabo is probably still in Alabasta now, and maybe Robin and Sabo, an important cadre of the Revolutionary Army, can meet in advance...
There is no doubt that Robin is actually a very dangerous woman now. Her danger is not only reflected in her being hunted down by the world government, but also in her character. She has dealt with the dark world all the year round, and she is not only good at assassination and She is planning behind the scenes, and in the face of danger, she can betray her boss without hesitation. Even figures at the level of Shichibukai like Ian and Crocodile, she can want to stir up their troubles in a blink of an eye. Fighting shows how dangerous her mind is.
However, having said that, Ian understood that what she did was more for self-protection.
After hearing Ian's words, Robin showed a sneer on his face, and said to Ian, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I understand!" Ian said with a smile: "Following Crocodile may allow you to see the historical text of Alabasta, but judging from the way you interpreted the historical text to me just now, you may anger him !"
Hearing this sentence, Robin's heart suddenly thumped: "Could it be... did he realize that he was lying?"
Yes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will lie, and at this moment Robin naturally needless to say, in fact, Robin read the content on the rubbings of the historical text brought by Ian. , told Ian, but it was another answer.
History is subtly previewed here, but the difference is that Robin lied to Crocodile, which made Crocodile want to kill her, but she lied to Ian, and Ian would not She shot.
"Nicole Robin! What are you doing!?" Crocodile saw that Robin was not coming, but was whispering something to Ian instead, so he couldn't help raising his volume, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Hearing his shout, Ian turned his head and said to Crocodile, "I told you before, I want to take this woman away!"
"Boy! Do you want to die?" Crocodile showed angry veins on his forehead: "You didn't stay in the new world and came here all the way, did you just want to provoke me here, on my site? !?"
"Hmph, sand crocodile!" Ian also sneered, "Don't think I don't know what your Baroque studio is planning in Alabasta. What do you think, if I share your intention with the Alabasta royal family? Tell me, can you continue?"
Crocodile laughed loudly and said, "Boy, tell me, don't forget, I am Shichibukai. In this country, I am a hero. Do you think they will believe you?"
"Really?" Ian shook his finger leisurely and said, "Don't talk too much! If I let them go to the port to check for dancing fans, what do you think will happen!?"
"You!?" Crocodile was stunned, and then flew into a rage!
This damn bastard, where did he get such a powerful intelligence method? They actually found out the purpose and actions of the Baroque studio!
"I can't keep you!" Crocodile was also a decisive person, and immediately made up his mind.
Then, he shot at Ian!
"Desert sword!" Crocodile's right hand suddenly turned into countless gravels, and then formed a sand blade. The sand blade was like a half-moon-shaped sword energy, which directly cut through the tables and chairs along the way, splitting The ground of the tavern flew towards Ian.
When Crocodile made a move, Ian's right thumb pushed away the thousand cherry blossoms in the sheath at the same time. Facing Crocodile's attack, Ian also swung the knife violently, cutting out a huge arc Sword Qi.
The sand blade and the sword energy collided, and the raging air wave immediately spread in all directions, with a loud click, all the tables and chairs in the entire tavern were immediately shattered into a large number of fragments under the pressure of the air wave.
In the midst of the bursting air wave, Robin held on to his hat tightly, and at the same time backed away a long way.
The blows collided, and there was no winner. Crocodile did not hit Ian, and Ian also missed Crocodile.
"Hmph!" Crocodile saw that the blow was useless, and his whole body suddenly began to melt into sand, turning into wisps of wind of gravel floating in the air, spreading throughout the entire tavern.
Then, when he reappeared, he was already on top of Ian's head, and his pirate hook hooked towards Ian's stamina at a sinister angle.
However, Ian suddenly lowered his head, passing Crocodile's hook, and when he raised his head, he swung the Senbon Sakura blade in his hand, and slashed at Crocodile's wrist.
Crocodile didn't mind being cut by Ian at first, because his body at the moment was just a pile of sand, but at a glance, he found something unusual on Ian's blade, so with a thought, he quickly controlled it. With his quicksand-like wrist, he let go of Ian's blade.
Maybe it's really not easy to get out of this way if it's someone else, but Crocodile is also a devil fruit ability user of the natural department, his body is also fluid, the sand on the arm turns an S-shaped bend, and Really let him go.
After stepping away from the knife, Crocodile's body re-condensed at a position a little far away from Ian. He looked at the hardened color of the armed color on Ian's knife, and couldn't help being a little dignified, and said to Ian: "Damn it , is domineering again!"
Crocodile knows domineering, Ian is not surprised, he is someone who has challenged Whitebeard, so it is impossible not to know this.
However, Ian found something strange in Crocodile's tone, and couldn't help asking him, "You don't know?"
"..." Crocodile didn't say a word, just holding his left hand with the pirate hook, and sneered, "I don't need that kind of thing!"
This is tantamount to an indirect admission of the fact that he is not domineering. Ian was naturally a little surprised when he heard this, because he felt that since he is Qi Wuhai, he should have mastery of domineering power, right
However, it’s normal to think about it. When Ian came back from the new world, he naturally felt that many people should be domineering. But in fact, Raleigh once said that although domineering is an innate power of human beings, there are also many people who don’t understand it. how it was developed and used.
Seemingly seeing the doubt on Ian's face, Crocodile laughed bitterly and said, "Although I don't know how to be aggressive, I said that I don't need that kind of thing! I'm a natural devil fruit Capable person, even if you know how to use domineering power, do you think you can really defeat me?"
While saying this, the ground under Crocodile's feet began to turn into desertification.
This kind of desertification soon spread to the entire floor of the tavern, and countless dust began to dance in the air. Not only the ground, but even the tables and chairs that were broken just now were all turned into dust.
Behind the ground are the walls around the tavern. Under Ian's astonished eyes, the tavern they were in turned into a cloud of sand and completely disappeared in just a few breaths. up.
This kind of scene is really indescribable. A house that was fine a moment ago has turned into dust flying around in a blink of an eye. It feels like it has been violently demolished...
And when the tavern they were in disappeared, Ian, Crocodile, and Nicole Robin, the three of them were exposed in full view. Although this is a remote street, there are always people passing by, especially one The eye-catching picture of the house suddenly disappearing is even more eye-catching.
"What... what's going on!? Where's the tavern just now?"
"Where are those three people?"
"Ah! That person... seems to be Master Crocodile!"
"What happened? Who is that man with the knife? A pirate?"
