Dancing in the Pirate World with the Spin-Spin Fruit

Chapter 127 Hunting Crocodile

After arriving at the rainy land, Gray was immediately in a dilemma: "Speaking of which, which room is Robin's?"

Flying over the only luxurious casino in Rainland, Gray turned on his Observation Haki. The numerous gamblers below made it impossible for Gray to tell where Robin was.

Not to mention, although he knew what Robin looked like, he had never felt Robin's aura. How could he find Robin among so many people?
"There's no other way, I can only look for them one by one!" After a sigh, Gray used his observation Haki to exclude Crocodile, who had the strongest aura, and then searched in circles through the window.

"By the way, am I considered peeping?" Gray was trying to make fun of himself while suffering.

Then, Gray flew outside the window like an old witch, peeping at Little Red Riding Hood in the room, checking every room one by one.

"Why is the design here not like in the past, where the higher up you go, the more important and wealthy people live?"

"Could it be because of the casino?" He complained in his mind, but did not delay Gray from searching quickly.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Gray found his target in a corner room on a floor not far from the ground.

Manipulating the magnetic field and controlling the switch inside the window to open, Gray flew directly in through the window.

The slight noise made by Gray made Robin, who had already been hunted by the dark world for many years, develop a good habit of staying alert.

She didn't dare sleep too deeply at night, because she had ears installed in every hidden corner of the room.

Robin, who was lying on the bed, woke up the moment Gray opened the window. He crossed his hands in the quilt, activated the power of the fruit, and a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the dark above the room. With the help of the dim light in the room, he identified the person who came without notice.

Gray didn't hide anything at all. He walked directly to the small table opposite Robin's bed and sat down. He supported his chin with his right hand and looked at Robin who knew him on the bed.

After a while, seeing that Gray did not make any other moves and did not seem to be a person who came with malicious intentions, although he was still alert in his heart, he started to ask questions.

"Ah! Is this how the dignified Fairy Tail president breaks into a woman's boudoir?" With the help of the eyes on the roof, Robin has discovered Gray's identity.

"Hmm! The purple one. Very charming!" Gray answered the question irrelevantly. Looking at Robin who was facing him sideways, causing the quilt to slide down and reveal Baymax, he was not going to miss this wave of benefits.

Upon hearing this, Robin was stunned for a moment, and then, as expected of a mature woman who had seen the world, she immediately pulled the quilt down a little more, revealing her cleavage: "Does it look good?"

"Of course!" Gray nodded shamelessly, staring at her openly, and said righteously: "It would be better if you turn on the light!"

Robin didn't respond to Gray's teasing, but changed the subject: "I don't think a busy man like the Fairy Tail president would come all the way here just to tease a little girl, right?"

When it comes to business, Gray put away the frivolous expression on his face and started to be serious: "I know your experience!"

"You should have watched my first live broadcast!" Although it was a question, Gray's tone was quite certain.

Without waiting for Robin to answer, Gray continued, "Don't you have any thoughts about the tragedy of O'Hara and the injustice you have suffered over the years?"

"For your mother, for Dr. Shamrock, and for all the residents of O'Hara, don't you want to avenge them?"

Although Gray mentioned the pain in her heart, and she had thought about what Gray said, but after so many years of experience, Robin would not immediately reveal the soft side of her heart, and continued to pretend to be calm: "What's the point of thinking about it?"

"I am just carrying on the will of the doctors and continuing to study history."

"It seems that you have thought about it!" Gray heard another meaning from Robin's words: "Whether you want to or not, it's nothing more than not having the power."

“If you had the power, you could say no to everything you’ve been through!”

"How about joining us?"

"You have seen the power of our union. In our hands, the Celestial Dragons are nothing more than pigs to be slaughtered."

"Join us, we will help you become stronger and lead you to revenge!"

"President Gray said so much, it's hard to refuse?" Supporting his chin, Robin thought carefully, wondering if there was any point in staying here.

But think about it, didn't she join Baroque Works and collaborate with Crocodile just for the sake of the main history of Alabasta?

If she reads the main history of the Kingdom of Alabasta, it would not be impossible for her to join Fairy Tail, which has the power to protect her.

It's better than Crocodile, who kills the donkey after it has done its job, right?

With all this in mind, Robin decided to delay for now, but before she could say anything, Gray had already said something she couldn't refuse.

"Of course, you can continue your historical research if you join us, Fairy Tail."

"Rather, I also hope that you will continue to study historical texts, and I can provide you with some historical texts for your research."

"In addition to the first landmark historical text, we also have an ordinary historical text stone tablet. We will give it to you when you come!" The ordinary historical text stone tablet that Gray mentioned is the one on Sky Island in the original book, which has the "I was here" sign engraved on it by Roger.

"Or if you find any historical texts, we can help you. As our partner, you will not only not be betrayed again, but you will also receive help and protection from us."

"Whether it's the admiral, the world government, or the celestial dragons, they can't hurt you at all before they step over our corpses!"

To be honest, Robin was really tempted by Gray's offer. "Hmm! It seems that President Gray knows me very well. These conditions are hard for me to refuse!"

She has been following Fairy Tail since the first Gray live broadcast.

Although the opponent only attacked three times, once he gave a live broadcast of killing the Celestial Dragons, once he captured Admiral Kizaru and killed another Celestial Dragon, and the third time was the most recent one, which disrupted the Celestial Dragons' game of annihilation and killed many Celestial Dragons. It is said that even one of the Five Elders was captured by the opponent.

It was only three attacks, each one bigger than the last, and a greater blow to the world government.

Now the entire sea has begun to run wild. In the undercurrent, the kingdoms and islands that knew they were about to be submerged, not only did the people start to go out to sea, but also to find a way to survive for themselves.

Kingdoms or nobles are also investigating suitable islands and secretly accumulating military supplies.

After Gray and his team's actions this time, this obvious change became faster and more obvious.

The weakness of the World Government and the Navy has given them a glimpse of opportunity. If Fairy Tail's subsequent actions further attack the World Government, they may make a choice more quickly.

And these are just the operational goals of Fairy Tail. What she needs to consider is the situation of those members. Since there is not much information about the members of Fairy Tail except for the obvious public information, Robin does not know the specific situation, so she cannot draw a good conclusion.

However, it can be clearly seen from the live broadcast that all members of Fairy Tail are very united, and Robin said that she can accept this atmosphere of Fairy Tail.

Moreover, in Fairy Tail there is the legendary dwarf race mentioned in Rolando's adventure. These dwarf races are simple and have no bad intentions.

Gray can get the dwarfs to work under him, which shows that he is a man of courage and a strong man who cares about his subordinates.

It's not impossible to follow Gray in resisting the Celestial Dragons and return the damage he has suffered to the World Government.

After finishing his thoughts, Robin did not delay: "Well, please take good care of me in the future!"

Hearing this, Gray's big white teeth showed at the corners of his mouth: "Very good!"

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Robin!"

Now that Robin has joined, Gray is ready to tell us his plan: "Robin, with your current status, you are just right to help us with the first mission."

"Ah! I have a mission right after joining. The president really knows how to order people around." Although he complained, Robin pretended to listen.

Then, after two or three minutes, Gray told Robin about his plan of using someone else's body as a substitute.

"I see!" After hearing Gray's words, Robin nodded in understanding: "President, are you coming to see me just for Baroque Works?"

"So, this is the only function of this person?"

Facing Robin's teasing, Gray smiled awkwardly and said righteously: "Ahaha! Robin, of course you are important too. Baroque Works is just the icing on the cake."

"Okay then! I will carry out the president's plan. After all, I am the president's person!" As she spoke, Robin's body was faintly visible under the quilt, showing off her royal figure and charm.

"Okay, forget it! Let's get started and talk about how to execute it!"

"Hi! My Lord President!"

Afterwards, Gray and Robin perfected the plan, and Gray hurried away.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not get to eat and would make a fool of himself. Then where would his dignity as the president be? After coming out, Gray found an ordinary hotel on the edge of the rainy land and stayed there. Then he began to stay at home.

Before the senior members of Baroque Works gather, Gray will try not to show up for the time being. After all, his image is still quite conspicuous.

In order to avoid being recognized, he even put away Shanhai and didn't take him around.

……

The next day, Robin began to follow the plan they had agreed upon and gathered senior members of the Baroque Works in another town near the rainy land.

So, after waiting for four days, Gray, who had already arrived in this town, saw familiar faces one by one with his Observation Haki and began to come here.

At the Spider Bar, Pola brought some drinks to each of the senior agents who had arrived, then sat at the bar and talked with everyone about the doubts surrounding this gathering of members.

Gal Dino pushed up his glasses and spoke out the intelligence in a pretentious manner: "According to the conversation with Miss. All Sunday, it seems that this time our senior members are summoned, in addition to an important mission, the mysterious Mr. Zero will also appear."

As he spoke, his partner, Miss Golden Week - Marianu, was concentrating on the snacks on the table in front of her, not paying any attention to the conversation.

In this organization, she generally doesn't think too much. When it comes to taking action, she just relies on Gal Dino for advice.

"The mysterious boss, the behind-the-scenes boss who established Baroque Works, is finally showing up. I'm so curious!" Mitchita, holding up her umbrella and sitting opposite Jem, the user of the Explosion Fruit, spoke with great interest.

Daz Bonis, who heard this, didn't say anything. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Not long after everyone finished talking, the door of the bar suddenly opened and Nicole Robin walked in wearing a sun hat and a purple windbreaker.

"It seems that everyone is here!" The familiar voice made everyone think of the person who issued the task, the vice president of Baroque Works - Miss. All Sunday!

"Son of the Devil, Nico Robin!" As a company of Baroque Works whose main business is hunting bounty criminals, everyone recognized Robin's identity at the first moment.

"I didn't expect that our vice-president would be you!" When issuing tasks in the past, Robin usually notified everyone layer by layer through Den Den Mushi.

As senior members, they were naturally the first to contact Robin. So, when they heard Robin's voice, they already had a rough guess.

"Bingo! You got it right!" After a playful smile, Robin began to talk about business: "I'm sure you have received the news of calling everyone here this time."

"I won't tell you about the missions. Let the boss announce them to you!" As he spoke, Robin stretched out his hands and clapped them together: "Pa pa!"

Gray, who had been waiting for the signal outside, disappeared from the spot and appeared in the middle of the bar in an instant: "Hello! Hello everyone!"

Gray, who was squatting at the wine table, greeted everyone with a smile.

"What?! How could it be..."

Gray's sudden appearance made everyone look over at the first moment. Before they could be shocked by Gray's appearance, they were attracted by the mountains and sea behind Gray and Gray's face.

Then in the next moment, his jaw dropped.

"Hmm! It seems like everyone is surprised!" Gray's words brought everyone back to their senses.

"I didn't expect that the boss behind us would be the godslayer, the natural enemy of God, a beacon of the world, and the president of the Fairy Tail Guild!" Gardino pushed up his glasses and said out the title given to Gray by the world.

"However, I have learned about President Gray. When our Baroque Works was founded, President Gray seemed to be still in the Don Quixote family, right?"

"How did the Baroque Workshop come into being?" This was what Gardino had just thought of.

How did Gray, in Don Quixote's family, create the Baroque Workshop?
"This question is very simple!" Gray, who had already discussed it with Robin, was naturally confident: "Although I cannot show up in the Don Quixote family, I knew Robin in my early years. I paid money and worked with her to slowly establish the Baroque Workshop."

"This is also the reason why I have not shown up until now."

The others didn't quite believe it, but Gray's last sentence instantly made them associate it with something.

"I see. That's why I was wondering how there could be a founder of an organization that has never shown up." Gray was developing in the Don Quixote family and was unable to show up, so Robin assigned them tasks to develop and expand the Baroque Works.

Now it all makes sense!

"Since the president, no, I should call you the chairman, has shown up, does that mean that our Baroque Works will also show up to kill the Celestial Dragons with you?"

"No, no, no! You are too young and weak to kill the Celestial Dragons!" No one could refute Gray's words.

Those who have watched Gray's recent live broadcast are very clear about the situation.

The aftermath of Gray and his men's attacks each time was so powerful that it could split the sky. If the live broadcast had not been real, they would have never been able to imagine how powerful it was!
"But you don't have to lose heart!" Gray stopped attacking them: "I summoned you this time because I think the time is ripe. You can return to the Fairy Tail headquarters and make a major upgrade in your strength."

"After that, when you become stronger, I will make arrangements for you."

Gray's words made everyone pay special attention. As their strength grew stronger, naturally no one would refuse such temptation.

"Really?" Bonis, who was particularly concerned about strength, immediately confirmed with Gray again.

"Of course it's true. I, Gray, never lie when I say anything!" As he spoke, Gray revealed a domineering aura that swept across the entire bar, making everyone feel dazed and depressed.

However, this feeling came and went quickly, and Gray's domineering color disappeared in an instant.

After confirming that they were really trained by Gray and would become as strong as they were in the live broadcast, everyone became extremely excited.

After a while, Galdinuo suddenly became enthusiastic and took the initiative to ask: "President, what is the mission you summoned us for this time?"

"Please leave it to us and we will do our best to complete it."

Gray: "Yes, there is a mission! But it's not a mission you can complete."

Gray's words left everyone confused.

Before they could ask, Gray had already said, "This mission, and the purpose of my coming here."

"There is only one!" Gray raised his index finger and said one sentence at a time: "Hunting the Seven Warlords of the Sea - Crocodile!"

As soon as Gray finished speaking, everyone naturally understood why Gray said they couldn't accomplish it.

As the "great hero" of this country, they were naturally very familiar with it. They knew clearly the sandstorm that Crocodile created with a casual wave of his hand when he killed the troublemaking pirates, and the fact that no attack could cause him any wound.

At that time, they also put themselves in the situation of the hostile Crocodile and found that their methods were completely ineffective and could not cause any harm to Crocodile at all.

"But President, Crocodile is the user of the Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, and we can't attack him at all."

Robin was naturally aware of everyone's concerns and was prepared to be hostile to Crocodile: "Don't worry about this. I already know the weakness of his fruit."

"You mean using water?"

"Huh?" Gray's words startled Robin: "President, do you know?"

Gray did not answer the question directly, but began to explain to everyone: "Water is indeed more restrained against the Sand-Sand Fruit. Some nature-type ability users can also find ways to restrain it."

"When you are not strong enough, you can consider these things. But in this world, strength is everything."

"In the new world, all strong people have a skill, an ability that everyone has: domineering!"

"Armed and domineering..."

"Seeing and hearing is domineering..."

"Heroic Haki..."

"So, don't worry about those who are just natural ability users. I will also teach you how to awaken this ability when we return to the base camp for training."

After explaining the effect of domineering, Gray stopped the topic: "Okay, now follow me, I will show you the battle between top masters."

"Hunting operation—begin!"
