Seemingly noticing her slight embarrassment, Renault patted her on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look: "Once we get to Alabasta and take care of Crocodile, all the problems will be solved."
“Yes, I believe in Brother Renault.” Vivi clenched her fist and nodded in response.
She had waited long enough for this day, and the people of Alabasta had waited long enough.
rain.
One of the few prosperous cities in Alabasta, and also Crocodile's stronghold.
Casino Rain Banquet, inside a smoke-filled office.
All of Baroque Works' top agents have gathered here at Crocodile's request.
However, the number of people is less than before.
"Are there only a few of you left?!"
Crocodile, seated at the head of the long table, glanced around and his expression gradually darkened.
The number of agents has been reduced by at least half.
“BOSS, Mr. 2 has already made his way back as you instructed, but things happened suddenly, and he may not be able to get back before the plan.”
"As for Mr. 3, Mr. 5, Mr. 9 and their partners," Robin hesitated before continuing.
"I understand." Crocodile waved his hand dismissively.
He's been so busy plotting to seize Hades these past few days that he's forgotten all about it.
Those guys all died at Reno's hands. As for their partner, he has betrayed Baroque Works and joined the Reno Pirates.
"We can't wait any longer! Even without them, the plan must proceed as scheduled!!"
Crocodile slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the cadres one by one.
His most trusted subordinate, and besides himself, the strongest in Baroque Works, is Mr. 1.
User of the Quick-Cut Fruit.
Beside him was his partner, the curvaceous Prickly Fruit user, Miss. Doublefinger.
Next up is Mr. 4 Bebu and his partner Miss. Christmas.
Overall, they are all minor, low-level characters.
But taking over a small capital city would be more than enough.
"Tonight, success is the only option; failure is not an option. Do you all understand?!"
"Yes, Boss!!"
"Yes!!"
The four cadres responded in unison, and then left the office to make their own preparations.
After all four people had left.
Crocodile lit another cigar for himself.
"Robin, any news about Reno and the others?!"
Behind him, Robin, dressed in a mature and sophisticated outfit, shook her head.
"Not yet. Mr. 2 has reported that no trace of Reno has been found near the Drum Kingdom."
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have come directly to Alabasta."
"Judging by the time, it should be about time. They might be right above us now."
Crocodile's pupils contracted, and he glanced sideways at Robin.
Can you please stop making it sound so scary?!
"It doesn't matter. As long as they dare to come here, I'll make sure they never leave."
"Whether it's Princess Vivi, the Reno Pirates, or those two traitors, I'm going to eliminate them all this time."
Crocodile's eyes were incredibly gloomy as he gently stroked the golden hook on his arm.
They keep provoking him, do they think they're as strong as Whitebeard?!
"You can go out now. Proceed according to plan." Crocodile waved his hand.
"Understood." Robin walked gracefully out of the room, but a subtle, unusual glint flashed in her eyes.
During this time, she secretly investigated Reno behind Crocodile's back.
Strangely, while there are traces of people like Kaya and Nami, Reno seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and there is absolutely no clue about him.
Everything that happened to him occurred after he met Nami.
Moreover, Nami, who was originally powerless, obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit after joining the Reno Pirates, and her strength increased by leaps and bounds.
As for Renault, it is even more unfathomable.
Most importantly, many people witnessed him fighting Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, at the Baratie restaurant. Although he didn't win, he beat Mihawk to the point of collapse and left in a huff.
"It seems the Navy's intelligence work is still inadequate," Robin said with a light laugh, shaking her head.
She did not inform Crocodile of this news.
After all, her relationship with Crocodile was nothing more than mutual exploitation.
Crocodile allowed her to continue doing so entirely because she could read the text in the Poneglyphs.
I can't live without her.
"Crocodile, a man even Hawkeye can't defeat, how are you going to deal with him?!" Robin's lips curled into a mocking smile.
She now regrets not meeting this mysterious man when she was at Whiskey Peak.
As evening approached, the Merry finally arrived in Albania, the capital of Alabasta.
"Weiwei!!!"
A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Weiwei's delicate body trembled.
Then she saw Cobra run out of the palace.
"Father!!"
Tears welled up in Vivi's eyes as she ran towards Kobra.
The two began to express their longing for each other.
As ministers, Bell and Jaca quickly stepped forward to welcome Renault and the others inside.
Icarus has already told them everything and knows that Renault is the benefactor who helped them deal with Crocodile, so they must not neglect him.
Inside a private room.
King Cobra, Minister Jakka, Bell, and the entire Reno Pirates were all seated.
"Lord Reno, are you really confident you can defeat Crocodile?!"
Cobra hesitated for a moment before speaking with difficulty.
This concerns all Alabasta citizens; he must get a positive answer.
After all, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his strength should not be underestimated.
"Just call me Renault." Renault waved his hand.
Vivi is his woman, and Cobra is Vivi's father.
He calls himself "sir," what kind of nonsense is that?
“Yes, Father, you don’t need to be so polite with him.” Weiwei playfully stuck out her tongue at Renault.
This intimate gesture startled Cobra; the two seemed to be getting a little too close.
He then looked at the women inside the room and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that the two of them...
“I’m 100% confident I can defeat him, and Crocodile is even more anxious than you are right now. We’ll just wait here, and he’ll come looking for us.”
Reno knew Crocodile's eagerness to seize Hades.
For him, this was the real big deal.
As for dealing with them, Crocodile considered it a piece of cake.
Seeing Renault's confident tone, Cobra finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As night fell, the entire city was shrouded in darkness.
The sounds of laughter and chatter from every household gradually subsided into silence.
Suddenly, a gust of sandstorm swept across the top of the royal palace, slowly coalescing into Crocodile's form.
At the very moment he appeared, in a room inside the palace, Renault suddenly opened his eyes, and his body vanished instantly.
Shortly after Crocodile appeared, several figures appeared in the square; they were the four remaining executives of Baroque Works.
Following them, nearly a thousand more assassins appeared.
They are the millions and hundreds of millions of elders of the Baroque Works.
The golden hook in Crocodile's hand gleamed faintly in the moonlight.
"Let's begin." Crocodile raised his golden hook, and all the humans and soldiers below quickly disappeared, launching their operations.
"I can already smell victory."
Crocodile slowly closed his eyes, fantasized in his mind for two seconds, and then opened them again.
He gazed intently at the palace below, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
After today, Hades will be his for the taking.
Whoever obtains Hades will own the entire world.
We'll kill that bastard Whitebeard first.
With a beautiful fantasy in mind, Crocodile's body turned into quicksand and drifted away with the wind.
Everyone began their respective tasks, except for Robin, who stood still with a complicated expression.
After an unknown amount of time, she let out a helpless sigh and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped.
Upon seeing the figure appear ahead, Robin's eyes flashed with a momentary panic, but she quickly calmed down.
"Renault, when did you arrive?"
Renault rested his hands on his forehead and said casually, "I just arrived in Alabasta today. I was planning to wait for him here, but I didn't expect Crocodile to be so impatient to come and die."
"He's already gone, aren't you going to chase after him?!" Robin asked Reno, puzzled.
"He can't escape. Until then, I'm still more interested in you."
Renault looked at Robin, who exuded a mature aura, and felt a stirring in his heart.
She is a beautiful woman, and also a woman who makes men unable to resist her desires.
Robin remained calm. Didn't she know all about men's affairs?
After discovering that Renault only recruits female crew members, coupled with her lover's and Golden Week's betrayal, the perceptive woman had already noticed something amiss.
0··Requesting flowers····
Are they finally going to make a move against her now?!
What a lecherous captain!
Unfortunately, the other party did not know her background, nor did they know what kind of danger they would face with her by their side.
If they knew, they probably would have avoided it like the plague.
Robin's beautiful eyes curved slightly as she smiled and said, "Reno, do you want me to join your pirate crew?!"
Renault shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
As expected of Robin, she understands immediately.
"I sense you really like beautiful women, but don't you know? The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is."
"Danger?!!"
