"You can't make it, Crocodile."
Cobra said flatly.
"Really?"
Crocodile flicked the ashes from the cigar.
"If you've seen the speech you just gave in the plaza, you wouldn't think so."
"Speech, what speech?"
Cobra said in amazement that he had never left the palace until now, so how could he possibly give a speech in the square. He couldn't ask Crocodile, he could only turn his eyes to Nico Robin.
When Nico Robin appeared in Crocodile, he accelerated the speed of browsing the historical text. By this time, she had already read it. Aware of Cobra's gaze, Nico Robin sighed, disguising Bentham as him to stir up public sentiment.
Crocodile didn't stop him either. Now, he only felt that he was winning and could not wait to see Cobra's desperate expression.
However, Cobra didn't do what he wanted.
At least, not a complete collapse.
"Our country, which is not so vulnerable, will be crushed by a little trick.
In Cobra's mind, two shadows appeared, one was Vivi, who had a wild temper since he was a child and ran everywhere without returning home. A Kosa who grew up as a child and later founded a rebel army because he was dissatisfied with his cooperation with Crocodile.
Cobra believes in his own people, and also believes in these two juniors who have shown leadership qualities early on.
"Vivi, Kosha, Alabasta's future depends on you."
Cobra's eyes turned to the city, and he cast his hope on the two people who were not there.
"Okay, this is the end of the chat, it's time to get down to business.
Crocodile did not kill Cobra, but walked towards Nico Robin.
"Nico Robin, have you read the historical text?"
There was a little disgust between Nico Robin's brows, but she didn't let it show any further, and answered lightly.
"It's over" "."5
"Is there any mention of Pluton there?
Crocodile's tone was full of anticipation.
"No, this stele just records some history from a long time ago. It doesn't mention anything about Pluton."
Nico Robin felt the murderous aura on Crocodile getting stronger, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Really? I don't believe it, you can translate it to me.
Crocodile walked to the edge of the stone tablet and said through gritted teeth.
Nico Robin had no other choice but to follow along and translate sentence by sentence to Crocodile.
These contents are indeed the text of the part of the historical record that Nico Robin has in mind, and it is true that there is no mention of Pluton.
Not even for Crocodile.
Therefore, even if Crocodile had an extra eye, he forcibly recorded the relationship between each sentence translated by Nico Robin and the symbols on the stone tablet, and selected a few sentences to verify it, but he did not find any mistakes.
In the end, Crocodile can only accept this reality. Viciously kicked on the stone tablet.
Fortunately, these steles recording the text of history are all very special materials, with almost indestructible hardness, even if they suffered the full-strength kick of Crocodile, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in a state of rage, they did not suffer any damage.
This kick did not vent all the anger in Crocodile's heart, and the rest of the anger must be endured by someone.
And this, is Nico Robin.
Nico Robin sensed something was wrong and immediately folded his hands on his chest.
"Second Flowers · Master. 35
A pair of hands grew out of Crocodile's back in an odd way.
The hands reached out to Crocodile's neck, intending to strangle him.
It's a pity that the moment his hands were about to touch Crocodile, he was directly deserted.
The wind and sand came to Nico Robin's back and re-condensed into shape, and Crocodile hit Nico Robin's heart with the hook on her hand.
Fortunately, Nico Robin became more alert the moment he saw Crocodile melted into the sand, caught the very subtle air fluctuations he was wearing behind him, and threw himself forward, narrowly avoiding Crocodile's deadly effect. one strike.
However, although his life was saved, Nico Robin's back had a not-so-shallow opening, and blood was flowing.
The sudden pain made Nico Robin take a deep breath.
She is used to hiding out of the sight of others, and most of the time, she uses the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit to contain danger at a distance.
Now facing an opponent who is too much stronger than himself, such means will be completely useless.
"I'm sorry, Nico Robin, since Alabasta doesn't have Pluton, then you have no value in existence. Let me kill you or send you to the World government to receive the reward, you choose."5
Crocodile shook off the blood drop from the hook, giving Nico Robin no room for negotiation.
"I still have a lot of things to do. It's impossible to die here, and it's impossible for you to hand me over to the World government."
Nico Robin knows she can't be the enemy, but she will never let her life end here.
"Blooming underfoot, turning back and forth."
On the ground under Crocodile's feet, a pair of hands appeared, trying to grab him.
However, Crocodile, who had been on guard for a long time, would be so easy to be hit. He repeated his old tricks and came behind Nico Robin again.
But this time, Crocodile miscalculated.
Nico Robin had already prepared a trap waiting for him.
On the top of the stele, a pair of hands grew out at some point, much longer than the ones that appeared just now, and they were already twisted into vines.
The moment Crocodile appeared, the vine-like arm was spinning, (Zhao Lihao) drawing towards him.
When two rods are screwed together, the tighter they are, the stronger the swinging force will be when loosening.
The defenseless Crocodile was directly swept away by more than 40 meters, and stopped when it hit a wall.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Crocodile coughed dryly, a trace of Bloodline leaking from the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand to wipe the Bloodline off, and smiled self-deprecatingly, not seeming to have suffered much damage.
"I didn't expect you to keep such a hand. It must be reserved for me, but it's a pity that the strength is a little weaker."
This trick, Nico Robin did deliberately hide it and use it to deal with Crocodile.
But seeing that Crocodile didn't do much damage, Nico Robin's face became even paler.
Originally, her fruit ability was restrained, and this surprise attack failed to achieve very good results, I am afraid it will be very difficult to even escape,
