Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Shanks' gaze sharpened, his eyes filled with expectation.

"I can't wait for that day to come!!!"

...

Rapeseed Flower Square.

When Smoker arrived at the scene, he gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Nojiko.

"You bastard..."

Although he didn't want to work for the World Government, he wouldn't stand idly by while his subordinates were injured.

So even though he doubted whether he could beat Nojiko, he was still enraged and prepared to fight him.

Just then, he heard a chorus of discontent behind him.

"Navy, what are you doing?"

Why attack the Straw Hat crew?

"They're helping to save this country, and you're stopping them! Are you teaming up with crocodiles to destroy this country?"

"Yes! Navy! Not only do you not help save this country, but you also stop the heroes who are supposed to save it. Is this your so-called justice?"

"If you're any kind of righteous people, you'd better get away from the Straw Hat crew!"

"Stay away from the Straw Hat crew!"

Hearing the growing condemnation of the Navy and the righteous voices behind them, Smoker gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Justice is what he has always insisted on pursuing.

But what are they all doing now?!

"idiot!"

Smoker cursed, beating himself for not stopping Tashigi earlier.

Just then, Tashigi's pained voice came from behind.

"Colonel Smoker!"

Upon hearing this, Smoker looked over and saw that Tashigi had already gritted her teeth and gotten up.

"Let's go, Tashigi!"

"Forget about this live stream!"

Smoker said something to Tashigi, then turned to Nojiko and spoke.

"Put my men down! We won't attack you!"

Nojiko, without suspicion, released the men.

With so many people watching, she believed Smoker wouldn't go back on his word.

...

Holy Land Marie Gioia!

As Smoker led a group of Marines away in the scene, Nasujuro Sei frowned and said angrily.

"That naval captain dared to disobey orders!"

Piet Saint said coldly.

"I've heard of that naval captain; he's always been so disobedient."

Maz Saint frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Are there no other naval forces near Alabasta?"

"Watching the live stream, Sacred Vochuli's eyes blazed with anger," he said.

"It's no use. Alabasta is too far ahead in the Grand Line, and the forces stationed there are inherently weak."

"The fighting power displayed by the Straw Hat crew far exceeded everyone's expectations."

"I don't think that naval captain would be a match for that woman from the Straw Hat crew, even if he made a move."

"We... underestimated the Straw Hat crew!"

Satan nodded upon hearing this and said.

“That’s right! What we should be thinking about now is how to deal with the Straw Hat crew. If we leave them alone and let them grow, they will definitely become a huge hidden danger in the future.”

After Satan finished speaking, all five of them frowned and fell into deep thought.

...

Rapeseed Flower Square.

When Smoker returned to the crowd with Tashigi and the others, a gasp suddenly rang out in the square.

"He's here! It's Straw Hat Luffy!"

A gasp rang out, and everyone immediately turned to look at the screen.

In the first image, Luffy and Vivi's figures burst into the frame.

"Father?!"

Vivi cried out in alarm and ran toward Cobra, who was lying on the ground.

This exclamation caught Crocodile's attention, who was about to unleash his attack.

...

After Crocodile disappeared from the screen.

He then went to the house where Robin kept the Poneglyphs.

Knowing that his actions and words had been secretly broadcast live, Crocodile's eyes were filled with boundless rage.

Knowing that he could no longer obtain the country, he placed all his hopes on Hades.

Upon reaching Robin's side, Crocodile angrily asked in a deep voice.

"How did it go, Ms. Quan Sunday?"

"Quickly read what you saw to me, word for word!"

After listening to Crocodile's words, Robin began to read the inscription on the stone tablet.

"Kashira conquered Alabasta in the year 239 of the Heavenly Calendar!"

"In 260 AD, Teyma ruled the Bitin Dynasty!"

"In 306, the Tower Cathedral was built in Eruma!"

"325 years..."

Robin read it aloud word by word, but Crocodile's expression grew increasingly furious, and his eyes began to twitch with rage once more.

He interrupted Robin, speaking angrily in a deep voice.

"and many more!"

"I have absolutely no interest in the history of this country."

"Tell me what I want to know quickly..."

"Where is Hades, the most evil weapon in the world, hidden in this country?"

Tell me now!

Crocodile bent his fingers into hooks, and with a forceful movement, the veins on the back of his hands and forehead bulged out like small snakes, looking extremely terrifying.

Upon hearing this, Robin put on an innocent look and said calmly.

"It's not recorded here!"

"This place only records the history of the nation!"

"Not a single word was mentioned about Hades!"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's expression suddenly darkened, and he released his grip, letting his hand fall to his sides.

Then, he spoke in an extremely cold tone.

"Really? That's such a shame!"

Crocodile's eyes darted around, glancing at Robin.

His expression was cold and indifferent, filled with a chilling aura.

He said coldly.

"Although you are an excellent partner, I still have to kill you here!"

Robin remained expressionless; she had expected this.

Crocodile continued.

"We made this contract four years ago."

"I will take you to the location of the Poneglyphs, and you will tell me the whereabouts of Hades."

"But... you still broke the promise in the end!"

Crocodile suddenly let out a cold laugh...

"Even so, I will not hold a grudge against you."

"Do you know why? Nicole Robin!"

Robin didn't answer, but just stared at Crocodile silently, while simultaneously using her ability to pull a tube of water from her clothes.

Then, she saw Crocodile suddenly curl the corners of his mouth into a sinister smile.

"Because from the very beginning... I didn't trust anyone!"

Crocodile finished speaking and raised his claw hook, preparing to attack Robin.

Robin took out the water first, ready to splash it on Crocodile.

Just as the two were about to make their move, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind them.

At the same time, a voice calling "Father" reached their ears.

Crocodile turned around at the sound and saw Luffy and Vivi trespassing into the royal tomb.

Upon seeing Luffy, Crocodile's anger flared instantly, and he said in a deep voice.

"I'm waiting for you..."

Crocodile was halfway through his sentence when Luffy suddenly shouted.

"Stop, Robin!"

Crocodile looked over in confusion and saw that Robin was holding a tube of water in one hand that she had created with her powers, while he was holding a dagger in his own hand.

Both hands were ready to attack him simultaneously.

Crocodile's weakness is water. Once he gets wet, his body can no longer become elemental and will naturally be injured.

However, it was Luffy who stopped Robin from doing this.

Then they heard Luffy say coldly.

"Leave that guy to me!"

Robin originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Crocodile was distracted by Luffy to launch a sneak attack, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Luffy.

But now that things have come to this, she has been discovered by Crocodile and is certainly doomed to fail.

He quickly left Crocodile's side.

Crocodile frowned as he looked at Luffy and Robin, who seemed to have a harmonious relationship, and coldly said to Robin.

"Nicole Robin! So you betrayed me all along."

"At that time, I was wondering, how did you manage to escape from the Straw Hat Boy?"

"At first I thought you came back to me because you believed that you could only find the Poneglyphs by following me."

"But now it seems like I've been deceived by you, Nico Robin!"
