Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

The overall decor is simple, with a strong Alabasta style.

At the desk on the inner side, the blue-haired girl had a smile on her lips, and her face was flushed.

To be honest, Vivi felt even more tired during this period than when she was undercover at Baroque Works.

There are endless tasks to handle as soon as I open my eyes, and the workload continues to increase as the business expands.

Especially in the early stages of a company's development, there are often many headaches and difficulties.

But this exhaustion brought her a deep sense of happiness.

It was the same journey forward, but it was a step-by-step approach to a dark and hopeless end.

But now, we are moving step by step toward a bright future.

Now that "Konoha" company is thriving, she can slow down her work pace a bit.

Noticing someone had arrived, Vivi quickly stood up, ran to Shiranui Xiao, and bowed her head to greet him.

"Lord Xiao, it's been a long time."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up faintly.

She knew all too well that the one who truly brought about these changes in Alabasta was not herself, but this handsome young man.

Mysterious, powerful, and handsome, his actions align with her ideals.

Before I knew it, a vague feeling had begun to grow in my heart.

However, noticing the unfamiliar figure beside her, she calmed the turmoil in her heart.

Who is this?

"My little sister, Hikari."

Shiranui Sho introduced the two to each other.

"This is...Miss Wednesday, my right-hand woman."

Hearing the title of "capable subordinate," Weiwei straightened her back a little, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Shiranui Xiao's lips curled into a slight smile.

Vivi, as a princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, is even very likely to inherit the throne and become queen in the future, but she shows no arrogance whatsoever.

He has seen his hard work during this period.

However, Vivi didn't seem to have any intention of revealing her identity yet, so Shiranui Xiao didn't bring it up for the time being.

The three of them sat down in the office.

Weiwei poured a pot of hot water into the teapot, and a refreshing cup of floral tea was born, its fragrance filling the air.

"Lord Xiao, is there anything I can do for you today?"

There are two things.

Shiranui Xiao took a sip of her flower tea and spoke softly.

"First, I've put the new batch of goods in the main warehouse; you can send Xiu Fu Chou there now."

"Yes."

Weiwei nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes softening even more.

Shiranui Sho then brought up the second matter.

"Secondly, Konoha Company plans to set up stores in all major cities of the Alabasta Kingdom."

"All obstacles must be removed, therefore..."

Shiranui Sho chuckled as she placed her teacup on the table, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"It's time to deal with that Crocodile guy!"

……

Kingdom of Alabasta, Rainy Land.

The underground of the "Rain Banquet" casino.

As the elegant woman with a cowboy hat and tanned skin finished speaking, the man with a cigar in his mouth turned completely gloomy.

The air momentarily stagnated.

After a long while, a low laugh finally rang out from underground.

The laughter was tinged with a strong sense of murderous intent.

"You mean, only Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 can still be contacted, and everyone else has refused to be contacted?"

"To be precise, Mr.3's partner, Miss Golden Week, can also be mentioned."

Nicole Robin said softly.

Her eyes, hidden beneath the brim of her hat, shimmered slightly, revealing a depth of unfathomable color.

"..."

Crocodile fell silent for a moment.

Not long ago, in order to maintain his "national hero" persona, he left "Rain Banquet" to wipe out a group of Haitong soldiers who had landed in Alabasta and were wreaking havoc.

He used dancing powder to smear the Alabasta royal family and continuously enhanced the prestige of his "national hero" status.

With this shift in power, the country will ultimately fall into his hands.

And those secrets and...weapons buried beneath the sandstorm!

It will eventually belong to him.

But upon his return, everything that had been going so well had undergone a complete transformation.

The last time we tried to contact them, Mr.1, Miss Double Fingers, and others all made excuses about taking leave.

And in this most recent attempt to contact them, these people simply ignored me completely.

The implication is self-evident.

He was either killed or betrayed.

But most likely, it is a combination of both.

Crocodile instantly came to a conclusion.

However, at this point, the truth of the matter is no longer important.

More importantly, who has the guts to go against him!

Nicole Robin offered her timely judgment.

"Recently, a company called 'Konoha' was established. Leveraging the royal family's connections, it quickly seized market share, primarily selling civilian supplies, but..."

"It is said that military supplies were also provided to the Alabasta royal family."

Crocodile frowned and said, "Arms?"

"It is not firearms."

Nicole Robin shook her head in denial, uttering an unfamiliar word: "Soldier pills."

"what?"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar words, Crocodile was about to ask further questions.

However, at that very moment, the alarm suddenly blared in their ears.

His already displeased face darkened completely, as if water were about to drip from it.

"It seems I don't need to actively search for it!"

Crocodile's lips curled into a ferocious and cold arc, a murderous intent surging from the depths of his heart, and a sinister aura, like yellow sand, permeated his entire being.

Chapter 111 A Chance Encounter! A Sand Crocodile Appears!

"Rain Banquet" Casino.

This glamorous and bustling casino stands in the heart of the "Dream City" rainforest, with its lavish decor and constant noise.

The shouts and the clanging of chips mingled with the sandstorm outside, creating a chaotic scene.

People coming and going were all driven by greed, and their eyes were filled with restlessness.

Shiranui Sho, clad in a long black trench coat, shielded herself from the swirling yellow sand, while Uchiha Hikaru, trying on a light gauze outfit characteristic of Alabasta, stood beside her.

The two stepped into the magnificent casino side by side.

"This is really not a good place."

Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.

She had seen gambling dens on Tansuke Street before, but the discomfort Yu Yan caused her far outweighed the former.

Firstly, this place is large in scale, far superior to the small casinos on Short Street.

Secondly, this was her first time actually stepping inside a casino.

"Gambling is indeed not a good thing. However, the greed in the world is not in gambling, but in people's hearts."

"Shiranui Sou said softly."

He suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on a tall, blind man, and paused slightly in surprise.

She wore a pale purple kimono, had crisscrossing scars around her eyes, and was leaning on a cane.

Why is this man here at this time?

Seemingly having heard what Shiranui Sho had just said, the tall, blind man turned to face him.

“What you say is quite right, young friend. A little gambling is just a hobby, like singing or fishing.”

"True greed resides in the human heart."

Facing him head-on, Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough it was him.

A future naval admiral known worldwide as "Fujitora," Ikkyo!

At this time, he was not yet part of the navy, but his strength was not affected by it.

Fujitora is now over fifty years old and at the peak of his strength, which will not be significantly different from when he becomes an admiral.

"It seems you two have come with ill intentions?"

His Observation Haki sensed something different, causing Issho's expression to become slightly serious.

"It is unkind to the host of this rain banquet, but a great blessing to the people of Alabasta."

Shiranui Sou said calmly.

The campaign to destroy Crocodile was personally endorsed by Princess Vivi, the sole heir to the Alabasta royal family.

How can they not be considered a righteous army!

"..."

The seemingly genuine words made Yi Xiao's expression relax slightly, but in the end she just shook her head regretfully.

"What a pity, my game is only halfway through, I'll have to come back another day."

"Once this matter is settled, I will invite you to have a drink alone as an apology."

With a faint smile on her lips, Shiranui Sho extended an invitation.

It would be best if we could recruit general-level combatants.

Even if you can't win them over, making friends is still a good thing.

"it is good."

With a slight smile and a nod, he leaned on his cane and strode out of the banquet hall.

"Hey, blind guy, are you getting rid of the game already?!"

Behind him, the gambler at the same table loudly urged him to stay.
