Chapter 313 Robin Doesn't Want to Be Just a "Little Sister"

"What if I lose the bet? What do you want from me?"

Since it's a bet, then both sides naturally have corresponding stakes.

The terms Wood offered were so favorable to him that Crocodile didn't believe the other party would give up everything.

Of course, Crocodile didn't think he would lose either, as he had never even heard of the so-called "Straw Hat Pirates" before.

It was only through his subordinates' recent reports that this little-known pirate crew barely caught Crocodile's eye.

This pirate crew, which had been around for less than a year, had only five or six members, most of whom came from the weakest sea, the East Blue.

The captain is just a nobody with a bounty of a mere 30 million Berries. It's a joke that Crocodile would be utterly defeated by such a "small fry".

"If you lose, you'll probably suffer a complete defeat. Not only will you be stripped of your title as a Shichibukai, but you might even be thrown into Impel Down."

Since that's the case, it would be a waste to confiscate all your accumulated wealth, so why not let me have it all?

Also, after you enter Impel Down, I'd like to ask you to do something for me.

Several tens of minutes later, Wood and Nicole Robin left the Rain Party and strolled around this so-called dream city in the rain.

When Robin finally couldn't suppress his curiosity after seeing Wood wandering around the streets like a tourist, he realized that Wood was indeed a tourist.

"How did you know that Alabasta holds the Poneglyphs, and that they contain information about the ancient weapon 'Pluton'?"

Logically speaking, aside from his daily spiritual practice, Wood has basically been living a life of leisure and indifference all these years.

Because they possess the world's largest arms market and are one of the giants of the underworld, they are naturally second to none in intelligence gathering.

However, tasks such as intelligence gathering are usually handled by Robin, the all-around secretary. Basically, Robin should know everything that the company knows, no matter how small.

However, he had no idea that Alabasta possessed the Poneglyphs before this.

So here's the question: where did Wood, this hands-off manager, get the information that even he himself didn't know?

"Well, I also have my own special sources of intelligence. Don't forget, my identity is not just that of an arms dealer."

Upon hearing what Wood said, Robin immediately looked enlightened.

Robin knew that Wood had secret contact with the Revolutionary Army, and Wood never hid the information and instructions they passed on to him.

The only thing Wood concealed from himself was information about the Navy, so Robin immediately understood that the information about Alabasta was likely given to Wood by the Navy.

The intelligence the Navy provides to Wood usually indicates what dangerous missions they've assigned him, and that the woman he hates most will likely be in contact with him again!

Seeing Robin's gritted teeth, Wood understood what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

This is one of the reasons why the Marine Headquarters was kept in the dark from Robin.

It wasn't that Wood didn't trust Robin, but rather that Robin, due to her own selfish motives, always wanted Wood to sever ties with the Navy as soon as possible, which sometimes prevented her from handling things rationally.

Robin did this for a simple reason: only by severing ties with the Navy as soon as possible could he prevent Wood from leaving him one day and returning to the Navy's ranks.

Moreover, within the Marine Headquarters, Robin has another formidable enemy: Wood's senior from the same school, who is not only fair-skinned and beautiful but also has long legs.

Whenever Wood saw her, his eyes would linger on her long legs.

Robin is quite confident in her looks and bust size, and she is also younger than the other woman, but unfortunately, the other woman's legs are just too long!

Moreover, as a woman, Robin's intuition told her that the female navy officer also harbored certain feelings for Wood.

To this end, Robin also used the power of the underworld to learn some information about the other party.

Only then did he realize that she was a famous beauty in the Navy Headquarters, and that hundreds of people in the headquarters had proposed to her, but she had always rejected them.

Why would the other person refuse? Need I say more? It's simply because they already have someone else in their heart.

But even if she met Wood first, so what? She, Nicole Robin, is now Wood's most indispensable woman!

Whether in her career or in her life, Wood has been turned into a "useless person" by Robin. Moreover, after more than ten years of living together day and night, who can compare with her?

Besides, how many of Wood's secrets does the other party know? Compared to himself, they are insignificant!

Previously, considering these advantages, Robin would inevitably feel smug, thinking that she was the most competitive player and the person Wood trusted most.

However, Robin recently discovered that her previous ideas were far too idealistic.

Wood truly trusted him completely, and even made many decisions without hiding anything from him.

However, this trust does not come from the trust between "lovers", but from the trust between "family".

In short, Robin believes that Wood didn't see her as a woman at all... no, or rather, Wood didn't see her as that type of woman, but rather as a "sister" or something similar.

Although her younger sister is also an important female character, this is clearly not what Robin wants.

Therefore, in order to successfully rise to power, Robin felt it necessary to seize this opportunity to be alone with Wood in Alabasta, and if necessary, perhaps use some special means, such as drugs...

Wood, who was strolling around, had just won a large sum of money from Crocodile's casino and was distributing it to the children around him like a nouveau riche when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

On the other side, after crossing the Great Desert and parting ways with Ace, the Straw Hat Pirates first arrived at Yuba, another oasis in Alabasta. However, due to years of sandstorms, it has now become a desert.

After learning that "Yuba" had become what it is today because of Crocodile, Luffy accepted the water source that an old man named Toto had dug up over many days as payment, and resolved to defeat Crocodile and save the kingdom.

Crocodile initially didn't take the so-called "Straw Hat Pirates" seriously, but he felt that Wood wasn't the kind of fool who spoke without reason, so he had his subordinates gather more information about the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, all the results show that the so-called "Straw Hat Pirates" are really nothing special.

Whether it's Straw Hat Luffy or Pirate Hunter Zoro, they are both insignificant figures in Crocodile's eyes.

Although, according to intelligence, their ability to defeat the Mr. 3 group and return alive from Little Garden did earn Crocodile's respect, that was all.

After learning from Bato in the oasis of Yuba that the rebel army in Alabasta, led by Khosha, was now at odds with the Alabasta Kingdom's army and was preparing for a fierce battle.

The Straw Hat crew ultimately decided to split into two groups because the rebel leader, Koza, was Princess Vivi's childhood friend and also a princess of Alabasta.

Therefore, he is the most suitable person to act as a mediator in this dispute.

However, the people at Baroque Studio understood this as well, and they certainly wouldn't let Princess Vivi return to the capital, Albana.

So after some discussion, the Straw Hat crew decided that Luffy and Zoro, the two strongest fighters, would go to the Rain Land to defeat Crocodile, while Sanji and the others would protect Princess Vivi and return to the capital.

Soon, Princess Vivi and her companions discovered that things were not as smooth as they had imagined.

Princess Vivi and her entourage originally planned to disguise themselves and take the opportunity to enter the royal capital, Albana.

However, the appearance of Wood, this troublemaker, caused Crocodile to pay more attention to the "Straw Hat Pirates" than in the original storyline.

Although Crocodile considered the Straw Hat crew to be nothing more than small fry, he still wanted to eliminate any factors that could cause his plans to fail.

Therefore, unlike the original storyline where Vivi and Nami could easily infiltrate the capital by disguising themselves as dancers.

Princess Vivi and her group had just begun their plan when they were blocked outside the city by the Baroque Workshop.

And the people blocking them were not just one or two, but a hundred or so "elders of the Baroque Studio" and nearly a thousand "elders of the million".

"Captain, it seems you're going to lose your bet with Crocodile. If Princess Vivi can't stop the conflict between the rebels and the kingdom's army, then the kingdom is going to be engulfed in civil war."

"And if internal strife breaks out, Crocodile will be able to control the situation and ultimately take control of Alabasta."

On the walls of Albana, Wood and Robin, both wearing overcoats, watched the scene unfold from afar.

When Wood saw Princess Vivi and Nami's group surrounded, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's okay, they are the main characters."

The million-strong Elders at Baroque Works are only at the level of an average Marine. Even if Luffy and Zoro weren't around, Sanji could easily handle them.

Besides, there's Usopp, a genius capable of creating miracles, and Nami, with her 86/57/86 proportions, a mascot who boasts a bounty of 100 Berries and fights for hundreds of millions.

Robin couldn't understand about half of what Wood said, but she was surprised to find that Wood knew a great deal about the composition of the "Straw Hat Pirates".

Knowing the names of the other pirate crew members was one thing, but to even know the measurements of the female pirate was enough to make Robin's mind wander!

86, 57, 86, hmm, considering that girl's age, that's quite an astonishing size, but compared to that, I'm still better.

Looking at her still impressive bust, pert hips, and slender waist, even though she was wrapped in a sand-proof windbreaker, Robin confidently asked Wood beside her, "Captain, do you know my measurements?"

Wood was clearly confused by Robin's sudden question. He was looking at the Straw Hat crew, who were already fighting with Baroque Works, and his expression was obviously agitated. So he replied half-heartedly, "Uh, what would I need to know your measurements? I'm not some kind of pervert."

Upon hearing Wood's nonchalant reply, Robin, who had been looking confident, froze.

You're not some kind of pervert, yet you know the measurements of that female pirate in the Straw Hat Pirates, while you've been with her for over ten years and know absolutely nothing!

Wood knew Nami's measurements because when he was watching the anime, Nami was captured by some invisible pervert when the Straw Hat Pirates passed through Gecko Moria's territory.

Nami's measurements were revealed at the time, and there seemed to be a meme about it, so Wood remembers it vividly.

After answering Robin's question, Wood quickly sensed danger from behind and realized he had just answered a question that could lead to death...

"This can actually be explained... well, I'm just guessing."

"Robin, you know how those perverts Ruth and his ilk often talk about these kinds of things. As the captain, if I don't go along with them, it's hard for me to be understanding towards my subordinates."

Although Wood didn't feel he needed to explain anything, Robin now gave him a rather dangerous feeling, so he decisively chose to follow his heart.

"Oh, so it was just a guess, but I think it was quite accurate."

I never knew our captain had such a special talent. Now, guess my measurements. If you're wrong, I think you know the consequences...

Looking at the curves Robin displayed in front of him, Wood quickly scanned Robin with his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes, and then concluded that Robin's were indeed bigger than Nami's... and that was it.

Isn't that obvious? Although Wood isn't exactly a gentleman, he's not some seasoned pervert either. He doesn't have the kind of scanning eyes that Ruth and the others have, which are comparable to instruments.

"Hmm, I think you should be above 86, but the exact number is hard to determine because it's already beyond my control..."

After briefly comparing Nami's and Robin's "sizes," Wood decisively gave the answer that it wouldn't be a death sentence.
