The old man was very angry, but he was not very happy.

"If that's the case..."

Xia Chen felt that Cobra had met with an accident.

Crocodile was a tyrant. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to stay here for more than ten years, just to avoid the attention and suspicion of the World Government and the Navy.

After all, even if Xia Chen didn't know where Crocodile got the news about Pluto, he should have obtained the information that Vivi's family was one of the founders of the 20 World Governments.

He was afraid that they had a secret channel to contact the World Government, so he slowly plotted.

But when it came to the critical moment, he also had enough decisiveness.

After that, Vivi made some arrangements for the royal guards, and then went to the rainy land with Xia Chen and others.

Sure enough, they did not find Cobra in Crocodile's lair, Rain Feast. Fortunately, Chopper has found a relatively gentle way to wake up Crocodile and keep him awake.

"Here is..." Crocodile has never felt so weak and powerless.

There is no water flow on his body, and there are no sea stone handcuffs on his hands, but he is powerless and his ability has no reaction.

Remember Xia Chen said that he wanted to seal his ability.

Is this possible?

It is indeed possible. The abilities of devil fruits are varied, and there are many bug-level existences.

"Old Sand, it's time to tell me what you did, and where is Vivi's father now?" Xia Chen asked.

"Failed again!" Crocodile sighed, but this time he was more calm than before, "Long nose over there, give me a cigar."

He has recognized that this is the basement of Rain Feast.

Vivi couldn't help asking Crocodile about his father, but Crocodile didn't cooperate at all.

Even if Iklem threatened him, he would still do so. Even if he couldn't muster any strength, he looked at everyone except Xia Chen with indifference.

He admitted that he had failed, but he had only lost to Xia Chen.

Usopp subconsciously took action and went over to light the cigar for the other party.

Crocodile's current physique was too weak. Even after just taking a puff, he was choked and coughed repeatedly.

"So who are you? Is Pluto in Alabasta?" Crocodile asked Xia Chen directly without hiding anything from everyone.

"Don't you know? The villain Xia Chen, the navy offers a reward of 300 million berries. As for Pluto... you should understand first. Now I am asking you. Don't delay. Your men, who are from Baroque Studio, have been wiped out."

"Is Pluto really not in Alabasta?" Crocodile got the answer he wanted from Xia Chen's words. It was really unacceptable!

Thinking of the various arrangements he had made over the past ten years, it was really ridiculous the more he thought about it!

"Hahahaha!" The whole person laughed suddenly as if he had gone crazy, and the horizontal scar on his face became more hideous at this moment.

"Laugh at your mother!" What Xia Chen couldn't stand the most was this kind of people who pretended to be deep.

He formed a big hand of water and threw it on Crocodile's face. The latter's already very weak physique couldn't withstand Xia Chen's hand at all. He rolled on the ground for several rounds and half of his teeth were broken.

Crocodile looked at Xia Chen angrily, then lay on the ground and continued to play badly.

If there was a choice, Crocodile might choose to commit suicide, but unfortunately he didn't have much strength now. His body had reached the weakest time in his history. Even in his childhood in his memory, his body was not so weak and powerless... and painful.

Especially the soul, it seemed to be torn apart by someone, the pain was indescribable.

He understood now that Xia Chen's words about sealing his ability were true, because according to common sense, after using the devil fruit, the body and soul will be transformed simultaneously.

What a terrifying ability!

I think this sea will become more and more exciting in the future, but it's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to see it.

Although everyone is very curious about what Pluto is that Crocodile mentioned, and it sounds very extraordinary, since Xia Chen didn't say it, they won't ask. They are all partners on the same boat, and they believe in Xia Chen.

As for Weiwei and Ikalem, they are even less qualified.

Or: dare not.

Crocodile can't break through here, they
I can only focus on those senior agents.

After Chopper's emergency treatment, their conditions have stabilized. Then Xia Chen asked them one by one, but those who knew refused to say it, and those who didn't know were useless.

When asking, Xia Chen used some tricks, but the collection technique did not give any feedback, and he did not judge that he had defeated them.

Xia Chen guessed that these people were in a state of captivity or defeat, so they could not be judged again. He felt that this mechanism was becoming more and more unreasonable.

I had no choice but to keep them first, and wait until their injuries healed, and then see the results of the subsequent experiments.

However, as a man who has read the original work, Xia Chen has already understood the general context.

First of all, the most difficult doubt for them to cover up is Falcon Bell and the Jackal Fruit ability user, Carl.

At this time, they did not appear here, and it was obvious that they were forcibly controlled and locked up somewhere.

And these senior agents are here, so who is the guy who controls these two people?

Nico Robin!

She has such strength.

After all, she is also a person who has survived in the dark world for more than 20 years. Moreover, Crocodile must have helped her in her actions before her.

After that, Xia Chen and his party went directly to Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

There were no accidents on the way, and because the time was greatly deviated from the original, they naturally did not meet Ace. Since they flew from the air, it was just past noon when they arrived.

The whole Albana was under martial law, and there were patrolling guards everywhere, but the overall environment was still stable.

After seeing Xia Chen and others appear from the air, the guards of the whole city were immediately mobilized. They thought that pirates had invaded. After all, according to what "Cobra" said before, the strength of the pirates coming this time was extraordinary. Even a large number of guards in the capital were transferred to various ports for defense.

But this was useless. Xia Chen directly controlled the cloud and landed in the palace.

After that, Weiwei could not wait to run to the bedroom at the back. As for Ikalem, he went to find his wife who looked almost exactly like him. They really looked like a couple.

He would tell the truth and stop the patrolling guards outside.

"You are finally here, Xia Chen!" An elegant female voice suddenly came from the hall.

Xia Chen's eyelids jumped, and everyone looked at him, thinking that their deputy captain had met an acquaintance.

Then they saw an elegant woman with a dark complexion, wearing a cowboy hat and dressed very capable, walking out of the hall. Without any cover, she showed her face to everyone.

She was ready to be exposed by everyone, and then Nicole Robin would proceed with the next plan.

But after waiting for a long time, they just shook their heads back and forth between themselves and Xia Chen, and the meaning on their faces was unclear.

Only Luffy couldn't help asking, "Who are you? What did you do to Vivi's father?"

"You don't know me."

"Should I know you?"

"Should I?" Hearing this, Robin's heart hit. With her vicious eyes, she could naturally see that Luffy really didn't know her.

And the others all had gossipy eyes, except for the orange-haired girl, and Xia Chen, who was looking at her unscrupulously with a weird look.

That's right, it was weird, not the kind of disgusting obscenity.

But for some reason, the more it was like this, the more unbearable it was. She just turned sideways and said, "Come with me!"

Luffy raised his foot to follow, but was pulled down by Sanji and Zoro. Be careful of the trap, and then everyone looked at Xia Chen. Xia Chen didn't explain, turned on the observation Haki to observe, and sure enough, everyone was inside.

"No problem!"

Then they entered the hall. On the throne platform in the center, Cobra was sitting there honestly, handling various affairs of the capital. However, Xia Chen felt unhappy. We worked so hard to save your kingdom, but you were not even willing to go out to greet us.

Are all royal families so arrogant?

But others didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, they are royal families!

In this world, most kingdoms are monarchical dictatorships, so everyone has a strong ability to accept, even Zoro and Nami.

"You are Vivi's father, Vivi is very worried about you." Luffy said in a hoarse voice, "Also, I'm hungry."

Cobra was nervous when he saw Robin bringing a lot of people again. It was not until Luffy called out Vivi's name that he stood up excitedly, "Vivi, is my daughter back? Where is she?"

He was already trotting down.

"Uh...
"This reaction was unexpected by everyone, and then Xia Chen instinctively looked at Robin who was standing beside him with a smile.

The latter felt Xia Chen's gaze and nodded with a smile. The panic on his face had disappeared.

It happened that Weiwei, who had gone to the back palace and didn't find Cobra, came over. When she saw Cobra, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She ran over and threw herself into Cobra's arms, crying softly.

After all, she was just a little girl who had just reached adulthood.

It took Cobra a while to coax Weiwei, and then he confirmed that Xia Chen's people were invited by Weiwei to save him. His whole back became stiff, and he immediately asked Xia Chen and others to send the two guardians of Arabstan. God was released.

They were locked up in a side hall, tied with iron chains and seastone handcuffs, but of course this couldn't stop Xia Chen.

As soon as they were released, one person immediately came to Cobra's side, and the other was also Falcon Bell, who turned into a half-beast and used his eagle claws to grab Robin's head.

It seemed that he wanted to kill her.

But when he was about to touch the other party, he was blocked by a water shield.

This ability belongs to Xia Chen, and he had seen it before.

But he was very rational and didn't ask Xia Chen why, but just flashed back to Cobra.

Everyone was also confused about why Xia Chen took action, but she looked directly at Robin who was smiling all the time, "Sure enough, do you want to die?"

The smile on Robin's face froze immediately, and soon returned to normal, saying: "Whether I want to or not, I have no choice, it's just a matter of success or failure. Since you have arrived here, it means that the real Baroque Studio is gone, and Crocodile must have been defeated by you, so as the second in command, there is really no reason for me to continue living. ”

“It’s a pity that you can’t have your wish come true.”

“By the way, I still don’t know your name.”

“Devil’s child, Nico Robin, bounty 79 million Baileys.” She said.

Everyone: So I don’t know her… What a pity!

Nami suddenly thought of something, flipped through her bag, and found a wanted poster with an 8-year-old Nico Robin on it. She compared it carefully and found that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar, “Is this you?”

“Yes, I was only 8 years old when I was wanted. "

The people who didn't know the past took a deep breath. He was less than 8 years old and the bounty was 79 million Baileys?

He really deserves to be the son of the devil!

You should know that when Xia Chen was wanted for the first time, it was only 50 million. As for why the other party's bounty has not changed for so many years, although everyone is curious, they also know that this is not the time to ask.

However, they are quietly waiting for Xia Chen's decision, even Luffy.

"Nicole Robin, no wonder this name is familiar. So now can I invite you to join the Straw Hat Pirates?" Xia Chen stretched out his hand.

Robin's calmness on his face finally couldn't be maintained, "What are you talking about? "She couldn't believe that there was a pirate group that would accept someone like her.

Either this pirate group was ignorant and pure newcomers, or they really weren't afraid of the World Government.

You know, in recent years, all the organizations she joined ended up being destroyed.

In the dark world, she, the son of the devil, was already a real cursed child.

"Captain Luffy, what do you think? I like her."

"Well, since you said so. Of course, and Sanji, I'm hungry. "Luffy pretended to be in deep thought. He believed in Xia Chen's judgment.

Robin was full of doubts and puzzlement. Looking at the two, Luffy was telling the truth.

But the faces of others still had doubts and vigilance. They didn't seem to be welcoming him sincerely, but why?

Why didn't anyone stand up and refuse!

This time, he almost replaced the people of this lost country with Japan, although he knew in his heart that Japan just wanted him to be able to read ancient characters.

When he obtained Pluto, it would be his death.

And he also not long ago He did see the fans of the lake, but it was a pity that it was still not the historical essay he expected, not the blank history of 100 years.

Very disappointed, disappointed again and again, plus the experience of these people, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't want to continue.

No, there was everyone's hope, which made him breathless. He thought that if he died, he wouldn't have to do this, right?

He decided so hastily when he joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and then Cobra held a banquet in the hall to express his gratitude.

He also asked Cobra to issue a proclamation in the name of the kingdom.
The domestic rebellion had been resolved by Shakradar, one of the kings of Xiaxiuhai, who accidentally entered, and the Straw Hat Pirates of Alabasta were also killed and expelled by the other side.
