Albana, in the palace, Weiwei avoided Crocodile's eyes through a secret passage and came to the rooftop of the palace.
She wants to find the adjutant of the Alabasta Kingdom Guards, Jaka, here and tell him Crocodile's conspiracy.
"Princess Weiwei, why are you here!"
Weiwei, who grew up in the palace, found Jaka easily even during the war.
"Jaka, this war is Crocodile's conspiracy to steal Alabasta!"
Breathing heavily, Weiwei pulled Jaka's sleeves with both hands and told the truth breathlessly.
"Princess Weiwei, how is this possible?"
A royal soldier said in disbelief that Crocodile's image among the people was a heroic image that could not be erased.
Under Crocodile's precise calculations, even the leaders of both sides did not realize that they were being used.
"What I said is true! The top priority is to stop Crocodile immediately. He even planted a bomb on the bell tower that can wipe out the entire country!"
Wei Wei's voice gradually became louder. Ye Hui informed him about the bomb information. The bomb was indeed a hidden danger.
"Isn't it too late to find out now?"
An arrogant and mocking voice came from behind. Weiwei immediately recognized the owner of the voice and turned his head stiffly, but there was no trace of panic on his expression.
The person who came was none other than Crocodile.
"Princess Weiwei, please step back."
Jaka took out the long knife stuck behind his back and protected Weiwei behind him. He always felt that there was something wrong with Crocodile.
"oh?"
Crocodile raised his chin and looked at Jaka with a mocking expression.
Whoosh!
Jaka's figure suddenly rushed towards Crocodile. In just the blink of an eye, Jaka, who turned into a jackal with a long knife in his mouth, passed through Crocodile's body.
"too slow."
Just when Jaka thought he had struck Crocodile, Crocodile's voice came, and a sudden line of blood appeared on Jaka's chest.
"how come."
Feeling the sharp pain coming from his chest, Jaka fell to the ground helplessly.
Crocodile ignored Jaka beside him, but slowly came to Weiwei, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.
"Cobra, you don't want to see your daughter turned into a mummy."
Crocodile looked sideways at Kobra, who was fixed to the wall by Robin, and said coldly.
"Wei...weiwei."
Kobra raised his head tremblingly, spoke weakly, and then continued: "This country has nothing to plot. What do you want?"
"What do I want? As a king, you know very well the traces of the ancient weapon Pluto."
"!!!"
Listening to Crocodile's request, Kobra's heart trembled and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"It's impossible, our country doesn't have it at all..."
"Ah~!"
As soon as Cobra was halfway through speaking, a faint scream resounded through the rooftop of the palace.
Weiwei, who was pinched in Crocodile's hand, began to struggle violently, her expression gradually distorted and painful.
"slight."
Cobra looked down helplessly. He wanted to stick to his words, but reason and family affection did not allow him to do so, because he was about to lose his life, and Weiwei was everything to him.
"Cobra, you have to understand that weak people are not even qualified to lie."
As he spoke, Crocodile strengthened his hand again, but this time Weiwei didn't scream. Instead, he squeezed his arm hard with his hands that were already covered in blood.
"Um?"
Crocodile, who felt the slight pain, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Wei Wei with a somewhat shocked expression.
"The weak do not deserve everything, and the weak cannot even decide how they will die."
Although Weiwei's voice was trembling, Crocodile could feel a kind of determination emerging from Weiwei's heart.
"Strength... If I had enough power, this country would still be peaceful. If I had the power, I would not ask Mr. Dark Night to kill him."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Crocodile frowned and spoke. He always felt as if Weiwei had entered some kind of transformation.
"Mr. Dark Night!!!"
Zheng! ! !
Sudden! Ye Hui's figure suddenly appeared in front of Crocodile at the edge of the rooftop, slashing with a long sword wet in his hand.
sand…
The moment Crocodile saw Ye Hui, he turned his elements into a pile of fine sand. While avoiding the slash, he also swept away Kobra.
"Underground Holy Palace, Crocodile will definitely take dad to the underground palace, where all the secrets are stored."
Weiwei, who was slumped on the ground, coughed anxiously, limped to support her body, and tried to be Ye Hui's guide.
Seeing this, Ye Hui raised his hand to hold Wei Wei's shoulder and said softly,
"I'll take care of the rest."
Ye Hui's voice was not gentle, but it made Weiwei's heart feel warm, and a few tears poured out of her eyes involuntarily.
"Mr. Dark Night... thank you, thank you..."
She lowered her head trembling slightly and kept repeating her thanks. This kind of thanks was very weak, because other than that, she couldn't think of any way to repay Ye Hui.
She never took Ye Hui's actions as a matter of course, and as a princess, she had not experienced the feeling of relying on others for a long time.
Facing Wei Wei's low cry, Ye Hui said nothing, just patted her back gently and walked towards the underground palace following the message left by Robin.
…
In the underground palace, Robin was standing in front of a huge blue square boulder with a large number of unknown words carved on it.
This is the historical text that she is looking for even if she is wanted by the world government.
"How about it, Nico Robin, where is the ancient weapon Hades?"
Crocodile appeared behind Robin, looking very anxious. He planned this Du Nian just for this moment.
"Unfortunately, this is just some ordinary history and does not mention the location of Hades."
Robin spread her hands helplessly. In fact, she was deceiving Crocodile and continued to use Crocodile to take her to find the next historical text.
"Oh? So that's it?"
Crocodile's face did not show the frustration that his plan had failed, but his tone was as it should be, and he said quietly.
"Do you think you can hide from me with those little tricks? Nico Robin."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Crocodile's expression gradually darkened, and Robin spoke calmly, slowly touching the water hidden in his sleeve with a plain hand.
Whoosh!
Robin took the lead in throwing out the water from his sleeves. As if Crocodile had expected it, his figure turned into a streak of yellow sand in advance and appeared in front of Robin.
"Do you know why, even though I have noticed your betrayal, I still won't get angry at you? Nico Robin"
Crocodile lifted Robin up with one hand, and without any delay, the golden hook in his right hand penetrated directly into Robin's chest.
"Because I never believed that, anyone."
Blood flowed down the golden hook, and Crocodile showed a cruel smile.
