"Well... I'm sorry for being rude!"

Both men, including Cobra, were puzzled by Uta's strange behavior.

However, the next second, all three of them suddenly widened their eyes in shock, looking extremely stunned.

Suddenly, Uta's figure disappeared from the spot.

By the time the three managed to catch up with them again, Bell and Jaka had already flown away.

Kobra's pupils dilated in shock as he stared at Uta in disbelief.

The kingdom's two strongest warriors were simply dispatched so easily?!

Even though Uta didn't explicitly say they wanted to fight, the fact that the two warriors were completely caught off guard and utterly defenseless against the enemy attack demonstrates a significant difference in their strength.

At this moment, Bell and Jakka also looked extremely shocked, clutching their chests and painfully getting up from the ground.

They stared at Uta in astonishment, deeply impressed by his strength.

They prided themselves on being the kingdom's strongest warriors, but they felt utterly powerless against Uta.

At this point, Uta continued speaking.

"I wouldn't have interfered with your decision."

"But this is a mission Luffy gave me, and it's also Vivi's request."

That's why I took action.

"Now...can you trust us?"

After Uta finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other.

They both saw the same look in each other's eyes.

Then, Bell and Jakka simultaneously nodded slightly to Cobra, indicating their acceptance.

After nodding in response, Kobra turned to Uta, his eyes filled with gratitude and expectation, and bowed to Uta as he spoke.

"Alabasta... I'm counting on you!"

Bell and Gakka also bowed at the same time to express their gratitude.

They didn't initially doubt the pirates' credibility; after all, they were willing to trust anyone Vivi trusted so much.

So at the time, I only doubted their abilities.

Now that Uta had easily defeated the two strongest warriors in their kingdom, they had no more doubts.

After that, they took Uta and, following Luffy's plan, began to take action, preparing for the final battle the next day.

...

Rainy!

Inside a huge office!

Crocodile sat in a luxurious chair, with the ominous duo reporting to him from the side.

Crocodile frowned, the cigar in his mouth trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice.

"You're saying Mr. 3 failed his mission and ran away with Ms. Golden Week?!"

The unlucky duo nodded in unison.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he wrote a line of text on a piece of paper.

"Should we go after them?"

Crocodile glanced at it, and although he was extremely angry, he still shook his head.

"We don't have time to deal with this kind of trash right now."

"The most important thing is to ensure that tomorrow's plan goes smoothly."

"Where's Vivi? She didn't meet with Kou Sha, did she?"

The unlucky duo quickly wrote another string of words on the paper.

"Vivi and the Straw Hat crew disappeared from the rapeseed fields."

"However, members hidden within the rebel army said they had been keeping an eye on Kosa and had not seen Vivi meet with him."

Upon seeing the next sentence, Crocodile breathed a sigh of relief, but the previous sentence still left him puzzled.

"Disappeared? Haven't we found a trace of them?"

Soon, the unlucky duo's answer appeared on the paper again.

"When all the members of the rapeseed flower were surrounding Vivi, they were defeated by Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace, and no one noticed the whereabouts of the Straw Hat crew."

Upon seeing Fire Fist Ace's name, Crocodile's pupils visibly dilated, his eyes filled with apprehension and doubt.

Ace had been in Alabasta for many days, and he had already received the news.

But I still don't know what the other party's purpose is.

Now that he learned that Luffy had suddenly stepped in to help him, he was filled with worry and doubt, and asked.

Why would Fire Fist Ace help Straw Hat Luffy?

The unlucky duo shook their heads and then wrote down their answer.

"I heard that he was eating at the same restaurant as the Straw Hat Boy when they were surrounded by Mr. 3 and his men."

Upon seeing this reply, Krocdalen immediately lost his temper and began to curse again.

"That idiot Mr. 3!"

"When I heard your report that his mission failed, I was wondering, how could 500 million-dollar elders and million-dollar elders not be able to kill Vivi from a trash pirate with a bounty of 6000 million Berries?"

"So it was that idiot who provoked Fire Fist Ace into this mess."

Crocodile grew angrier the more he thought about it, wishing he could suck Mr. 3 dry right now.

If he hadn't been so stupid, Weiwei would have been dealt with long ago.

Just as Crocodile was cursing Mr. 3 in his heart, the unlucky duo held up another piece of paper and presented it to him.

"Ms. Quan is back on Sunday and is on her way to Yudi now."

Upon seeing this text, Crocodile's pupils flickered noticeably, then he frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Wasn't she captured by the Straw Hat crew? How come she suddenly came back?"

The unlucky duo shook their heads simultaneously.

Crocodile ignored them and instead took out a Den Den Mushi.

A moment later, a voice rang out from the other side.

"It seems you've already received the message, Mr. 0!"

Crocodile curled his lips into a cold smile and spoke in a deep voice.

"Weren't you captured by the Straw Hat Boy?"

Robin answered from the other end of the phone.

"Straw Hat Boy is a rubber man, so my abilities are ineffective against him, which is why I was captured."

"After arriving at the rapeseed fields, I used my powers to escape while Straw Hat Boy was away."

Crocodile looked doubtful at Robin's answer and said in a deep voice.

"You should know that Baroque Workshop doesn't tolerate failure. How dare you come back?"

"...Nicole Robin!"

Upon hearing Crocodile call out her real name, Robin knew that he was no longer pretending with her, and she answered directly and clearly.

"You won't kill me."

“We have a cooperative relationship, unlike those cadres. This was agreed upon from the beginning.”

"I'm after the Poneglyphs, you're after Hades. We'll cooperate to achieve our respective goals."

"Isn't it?"

"【Crocodile】!"

Upon hearing Robin's words, the doubt and anger in Crocodile's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a sinister yet confident smile, as he slowly spoke.

"Welcome back...Ms. All Sunday!"

...

The nights in Alabasta are beautiful.

The stars twinkled endlessly in the sky, adorning Alabasta like a dream, captivating all who beheld it.

Under a sky full of stars, the Merry sailed slowly upstream along the Santoro River.

At some point in the middle of the night, Nami's voice suddenly rang out on the ship.

"Here we are, right here!"

She held a map in her hand, pointed to a coastline near Albana, and said.

"Based on our driving speed and the distance on the map, we are now at the closest coastline to our target location."

I heard that we have finally arrived at our destination.

A series of exclamations immediately arose on the ship.

"Ah...we've finally arrived!"
