In Shiranui Sho's hand, a round, sandy-yellow fruit resembling a cactus lay quietly.

Sandy fruit.

A smile spread across Shiranui Xiao's lips, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Logia-type Devil Fruits are considered one of the most precious types of Devil Fruits.

"This is... Crocodile's Sand Fruit?"

Nicole Robin finally couldn't hold back and spoke up in astonishment.

While the killing of Crocodile shocked her, it was still within her comprehension.

But this was the first time she had ever seen such a method of plundering the Devil Fruit.

With such abilities, this boy will become the nemesis of all ability users!

However, countless powerful individuals also fear him.

And she witnessed this secret at that moment.

Sure enough, the next second, Shiranui Sho turned her head and her calm gaze fell on Nicole Robin.

"Nicole Robin, join us?"

"it is good."

Nicole Robin's eyes sparkled, and she agreed without hesitation.

She had no ambition or spirit to be subservient to others; she just wanted to live well in this world and realize her ideals.

Shiranui Xiao nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Uchiha Hikaru again, this time with a smile in her eyes.

"Xiao Guang, do you want some sand fruit?"

"Well……"

Uchiha Hikaru's bright eyes flickered.

The Sand Fruit is a natural-type Devil Fruit.

She had heard a general introduction to her abilities from Shiranui Sho before.

She had witnessed Crocodile unleashing a sandstorm and turning into a natural disaster with a wave of his hand during the battle.

Another equally appealing aspect is the elementalization ability of the nature system.

The sea waves rippled with a domineering aura, but the ninja world has none.

She also heard from Shiranui Sho that the Devil Fruit only fears the sea breeze, and has no effect on the sea breeze.

The Sand-Sand Fruit, which can transform into sand, is almost unbeatable in the ninja world.

However, in the end, she shook her head slightly.

"Forget it, I'm still not interested in turning into sand."

She said softly, lost in thought, "If I had to become a natural element, I'd still prefer to become light."

That's right, just like her name, light.

"Light?"

Shiranui Sou and Nicole Robin were both taken aback.

Light, isn't that...?

"This is quite difficult."

Shiranui Sho stroked her chin.

The Glint-Glint Fruit was eaten by Navy Admiral Kizaru.

Unless they really want to go to sea and become seafarers, there's no need for them to provoke the behemoth that is the Navy.

"Well, I was just saying!"

Uchiha Hikaru, fearing that his request would put his brother in a difficult position, quickly waved his hand.

Shiranui Xiao gently rubbed her little head.

"The biggest obstacle in Alabasta has been removed! Let's have a celebration today!"

……

Spider Cafe.

Under the summons of Shiranui Sho, the former Baroque Works employee, now a member of the "Konoha" company, [was recruited].

Mr.1, Miss Double Fingers, Miss Valentine's Day, as well as Nicole Robin, Vivi, and others were all present.

In the center of the coffee shop is a long table pieced together.

Shiranui Sho sat in the main seat, while Uchiha Hikaru sat beside him.

Apart from Nicole Robin, who knew the reason for the gathering, everyone else present looked bewildered, wondering what the purpose of the meeting was.

"Is everyone here?"

"Shiranui Sou asked softly."

"There are four more people who are further away, so they may be a little later."

Robin stood up and answered.

She quickly assumed the role of Shiranui Sou's secretary and meticulously followed her instructions.

"There are still four people?"

Vivi, who was in the front position as the chief officer, was taken aback.

During the work process, she already knew the existing members well, and it was only right when everyone was present.

And this woman with tanned skin and a cowboy hat, she was seeing her for the first time.

Vivi's intuition told her that something different from usual was going to happen today.

Her gaze fell on Shiranui Sou, who was in the main seat. The boy noticed her gaze and returned her a gentle smile.

Weiwei felt a little more at ease and sat quietly in her seat to wait.

Soon, several figures arrived one after another.

Robin glanced around and said softly, "Boss, Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Miss Golden Week, and Mr. 8 are all here."

At the entrance of the coffee shop, four people were standing side by side.

A ladyboy dressed as a swan ballerina and wearing heavy stage makeup.

A thin, wiry man with a black bun shaped like the number 3 on his head, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and thick lips.

A cute girl wearing a pink painter's hat and with her long brown-red hair tied into two braids.

A huge, burly man with a giant gorilla-like head.

"You're the boss behind Baroque Works?"

Mr.2 Feng Clay's gaze fell directly on Shiranui Xiao in the main seat, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

The others standing nearby looked confused.

They had been on other missions recently, and only rushed here after being summoned by Miss All Sunday, Nicole Robin.

They were completely unaware of the recent upheavals at Baroque Works.

"It seems you are not aware of the situation."

Seeing this, Shiranui Sho chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Baroque Works is a thing of the past."

Seeing that the fishy smell had not diminished at all, he raised his hand and gently placed something on the table.

It was a yellow, oddly shaped fruit.

"To put it simply, I recently took down Mr. 0 of Baroque Works, Sha Crocodile."

Crocodile!?

Whether they were newcomers or members who had long been under Shiranui Sho's command, they were all stunned by this name that resounded throughout Alabasta.

The former is due to the amount of information contained in those words.

The Baroque Works Mr. 0 I've never seen before is actually Crocodile, and... he's been killed?

As for Shiranui Sho, who had long followed Shiranui Sho, he was simply incredulous at Crocodile's death.

That was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, such an important figure, and he was dismissed so casually...

He really did it!

Weiwei remained seated, a hint of tears welling up in her eyes.

She gazed at the calm and composed young man, her heart churning with a myriad of emotions.

Chapter 117 A New Sand-Sand Fruit User!

"Then, as you can see, with the help of Miss All Sunday, Konoha Company will take over Crocodile's entire estate."

Shiranui Sho's gaze fell on Robin, who understood and stood up with a smile, acknowledging her presence.

Shiranui Sou nodded slightly and continued.

"As for the locations, in addition to the Spider Cafe that I already own, the 'Rain Banquet' casino and Whiskey Peak in Rainy Land will also be acquired by Konoha."

"In addition, intelligence networks, transportation facilities and other equipment are also being integrated and received."

"Finally, there are the personnel..."

Shiranui Sho's gaze swept over Mr.2 and the others.

"Former Baroque Works members who have not yet joined us have three options."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. 2 and the others held their breath, a sense of tension inevitably rising in their hearts.

"Shiranui Sou said in a calm tone."

"First, join Konoha Company and work for me. We'll make money together."

"Second, leave Baroque Works and go wherever you want, as long as you don't hinder our work."

"Of course, there is a third option."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Shiranui Xiao's lips. "If you want to avenge Crocodile, I'd be happy to."

Both Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 are ability users.

If he really couldn't let it go, he wouldn't mind having a couple more Devil Fruit collectibles.

"Whether it's the chief commander, the executive commander, or the hundreds of millions or millions of elderly people, these are the three options."

Shiranui Sho looked at Robin and whispered instructions.

"clear."

Robin nodded slightly, keeping these words in mind.

Shiranui Sho asked, "So, what is your choice, the four of you?"

"I choose to join."

After exchanging a glance with Vivi, Mr. 8 was the first to announce his decision.

His real name is Ikalaim, and his true identity is the captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard.

He had already infiltrated Baroque Works with Princess Vivi, so his actions naturally aligned with hers.

In fact, Vivi had contacted him after she became the chief executive officer of the "Konoha" company.

But Baroque Works still existed at that time, and he ultimately chose to remain undercover within Baroque Works to observe its movements.

Unexpectedly, when I was summoned to the Spider Cafe not long after, I heard such shocking news.

"I'll join too."

With Mr. 8 leading the way, the other three nodded in agreement to join.

Their former boss, Crocodile, was only revealed to them after his death.
