Chapter 242: See Crocodile Again (Please Subscribe)
In the first half of the Grand Line, after being incorporated into the Shichibukai, Crocodile, the rain land of Alabasta, also relied on the power given by the government to successfully gain a foothold in Alabasta.
He used the pirate heads and plundered pirate wealth to build a splendid casino in the rainland, which he named Yuyan.
However, Crocodile was not in a beautiful mood at this moment. He angrily threw the cup on his desk to the ground.
"Isn't that okay?"
"You bunch of losers can't even find any information about a little girl!"
The employees of Baroque Studio were helpless after being scolded.
This is no ordinary little girl.
He is the only survivor of O'Hara, and he is the son of a demon who is offered a bounty of 70 million beli by the World Government.
It's not that easy to find.
Ever since O'Hara was destroyed, Crocodile has been extremely eager to find information about Robin.
Because he knew that the only person in this world who could read the text of history was the devil's son from O'Hara.
There was nothing he could do about it. Crocodile was not willing to just be a lackey of the navy. He wanted to be the king of the world.
If he hadn't been beaten half to death by Marine Raleigh, he wouldn't have been willing to accept the position of Shichibukai.
After coming to Alabasta, he deliberately searched for the secret that could make him stronger.
Finally, the men he sent in found out that there was a mysterious weapon in Alabasta that had the power to destroy everything.
The clue lies in the king's hands.
In the past few years, Crocodile has obtained what he wanted through force and strategy, which is the historical text of Alabasta."
However, what made him feel very helpless was that he couldn't read the words above at all.
Not only could he not understand it, but even the King of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra, could not understand it.
According to him it is a very ancient literature and is called ancient literature.
Only O'Hara's scholars have studied this script in the world.
Unfortunately, O'Hara has been wiped out.
Crocodile's only hope can only be placed on Robin, the son of the devil who escaped.
"BosS, I don't think we need to stick to the weapons recorded in the historical text."
"We are very strong now."
Mr1 said.
"That's enough, Bowness."
"You are my most capable subordinate, you should know."
‘The original intention of establishing Balot Working Company was to find Robin, the son of the devil! "
"What's more, you don't understand at all, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless in front of that man!
Crocodile seemed to remember the feeling of suffocation that he could not resist, and he clenched his hands tightly.
His face turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Mr1, don't make me get angry, take the people and keep looking!"
After feeling that his boss was indeed angry, Mr1 did not stay in the office, but quickly led people to where Robin might appear.
After everyone left, Crocodile kicked over the table in front of him.
"Christine Rowley, one day, I want you to get on your knees and beg me!"
Crocodile looked grim, like a devil.
And Raleigh, whom he was talking about, has now arrived in Alabasta.
"Raleigh, why do you feel that Alabasta is different from before?"
Gion stretched out his hand and felt the surrounding atmosphere.
It’s not like she’s never been to Alabasta before.”
As the frontier of the great shipping route, almost all navies and pirates choose Alabasta for supplies.
But now Gion clearly feels different from previous years.
And this change is a change for the worse.
Although Alabasta also had a desert climate in the past, people still had some smiles on their faces.
But now the people of Alabasta have no other expressions on their faces except a bitter look.
"Strange, I remember that the World Government recruited a group of Shichibukai, and one of them named Crocodile is here."
Didn't he resist the pirates? Otherwise this situation would not occur.
Raleigh looked up at the sun, then took out a parasol and placed it on his and Gion's heads.
If we want to know the answer, we might as well ask passers-by.
After hearing what Luo Li said, Gion felt that it made sense.
She did what she said and stopped a father and daughter.
"Hello, we are the Navy. Is it okay to ask you some questions?
The little girl's father seemed to be an honest man at first glance, but he was a little frightened when he was suddenly questioned by two naval admirals.
Seeing this, Yuan spoke again:
'We're not bad guys, we're righteous marines, just asking some simple questions. "
"You-just ask.
The man wiped his dry lips and said tremblingly. The little girl he was holding also had chapped lips due to lack of water, and her eyes were staring straight at the kettle on Gion's waist.
Gion, who noticed the little girl's gaze, reached out and took off the water bottle from his waist, shook it in his hand and said:
‘Just answer a few questions from me, and this pot of water will be yours. "
"Okay, if you have any questions, Mr. Navy, I will definitely answer you."
The man agreed immediately after seeing the water.
"Did Alabasta suffer a pirate attack? I see that your mental outlook is very different from before."
The man shook his head:
"Not really. We have the hero Crocodile, who led his men to repel many pirate attacks."
'Now there are no pirates in Alabasta who dare to go wild here.
"Hmm?"
Gion was a little surprised. She didn't expect such an answer.
Originally, she thought it was the result of Crocodile not working hard, but now it seems that it is not the case.
On the contrary, this Crocodile has done a great job and can be named a hero by the people of this country.
Then why do you feel that your life is getting worse and worse?"
The man looked up at the sun and then said;
The rainfall in Alabasta has been getting less and less in recent years, just as recorded in history. "
Alabasta has ushered in an extremely long high temperature period, and the rainfall has decreased significantly, so our lives are more difficult than before. "
Gion nodded, asked a few more questions, and handed the kettle to the man.
After taking the kettle, the man carefully gave the water to his daughter.
After his daughter finished drinking, he tightened the lid tightly, but he just swallowed his saliva and didn't drink it.
Rory said lightly, "I advise you to drink it first. People around you are already eyeing you."
If you don't drink it, this kettle of water may be taken away by others. "
After saying that, the man suddenly realized and quickly looked at the people around him.
Those people stared at the kettle in his hand.
The man gritted his teeth, opened the kettle and took a big gulp, then handed the kettle to his daughter.
The two did not plan to leave until they finished the whole kettle of water.
Why can't we help them?"
After the man took his daughter away, Gion asked,
Roley looked at Gion with relief,
Gion has grown a lot now, and the biggest advantage is that she will not refute it immediately after Roley makes a decision.
But after there were no outsiders, she asked Roley about her doubts. There is a lot of fresh water on our warships, but this fresh water is provided to our navy soldiers.
'Although there is some surplus, it is definitely not enough for the people of Alabasta to drink. "
We can give this father and daughter more water, but they have no power and can't protect it."
Roley didn't continue to speak here, because Yuan already knew the first meaning.
The meaning of the following is darker. Rowley doesn't want Gion to become a deep-minded person for the time being.
If the two of them open this loophole, then there will be a steady stream of Alabasta people coming to ask the navy for water.
Giving or not giving will cause problems, so it's better not to give at the beginning.
Besides, if you just want to make Alabasta rain,
then both Rowley and Enel can do it.
Their abilities can already control a small part of the dark clouds. Although they can't make rain out of thin air, they can also make Alabasta rain heavily.
But the root of this matter lies in Crocodile. If he doesn't make trouble behind the scenes, then Alabasta will soon return to normal climate. 'Where are we going next? "
Gion took Rowley's arm.
Next, we are going to the rainy land to assess Crocodile's mission completion in the past few years. "
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea can't do nothing. If they are useless, it's better to change someone to be the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Rawley said calmly.
This time they didn't have any special tasks, so they didn't choose to lead the navy soldiers, but went to the rainy land with two people.
After a day's travel, the two finally arrived at the place known as the Rainland.
This place is indeed different from other places in Alabasta, and the air is obviously much more humid.
"The people here look happier."
Gion commented.
"Where are we going next?"
Rowley pointed to the magnificent building not far away and said:
"Since we are in the Rainland, we must visit this Rain Banquet."
"Casino?"
Gion frowned, she had never been to a casino before "Almost, experience the local customs and customs."
Rowley said in a casual tone, and then the two walked over.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?
The security guard of Barlot Works in a black suit stepped forward.
Because Rowley and Gion changed into the local clothes of Alabasta, he only felt that Rowley was more familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while.
'We don't have an appointment, we just want to come and see, is that not okay?
Although Luo Li had an easygoing attitude, he had worked as a lieutenant general for several years, and his words were full of majesty.
The security guard broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly:
'No, sir, guests with reservations can enter the private room to play, and guests without reservations can only play in the lobby.
"Since you don't have a reservation, I'll take you to the lobby."
Wiping the cold sweat secretly, the security guard walked in front of Luo Li and Gion.
The moment the door was opened, all kinds of sounds flooded into Luo Li and Gion's ears,
the sound of wine glasses colliding, the sound of chips on the table, and the sound of gamblers reveling. A bunny girl in revealing clothes shuttled through the crowd with a wine tray.
Luo Li had seen big scenes, so he would not be distracted by such things.
On the contrary, Gion, although a little shy, had Luo Li by her side, allowing her to boldly look at all the new things around her.
Luo Li gave Yu Yan an 85-point rating in his heart.
If Crocodile doesn't want to see the identity of the so-called pirate overlord, he can also become a superior person with this casino business.
"Tsk, what a pity."
"What a pity?"
Gion turned his head curiously and asked.
Nothing, I'll go change some chips for us to play.
Rowley changed the subject and went to the front desk to exchange chips worth five million Baileys.
"What should we play first?"
Gion asked with surprise, holding the chips in his hand.
There are so many games that she was dazzled for a while.
"Guess the size, this is easy."
Rowley took Yuan to a huge table.
The rules of the game here are no different from those of the previous life. You can choose the size with low odds or the points with high odds when guessing the size with three dice.
"Dear guests, place your bets. Congratulations on getting rich today!"
The dealer shouted.
The gamblers put their own chips on the table one after another.
Gion put the chips worth 500,000 in the area representing big.
"Buy and leave, buy and leave!"
Gion looked at the dice in the dealer's hand nervously.
"Open, open, open!!!"
The gamblers around looked at the sieve in the dealer's hand with red eyes.
"Open!"
"Three, five, five. Big!"
"Congratulations to the guests for making a fortune!"
The dealer smiled and took back the lost chips, and then put some of the chips in front of the winning guests.
Gion excitedly shook Rowley's arm, 'Rowley, look, I won.'
Rowley also clapped his hands and said:
"You are so awesome, Gion.
Gion said proudly:
"But I am the God of Gamblers! "
Gion didn't quite understand what the God of Gamblers represented, but just took note of what the people around him said.
She excitedly continued to bet on the big bet.
But she didn't notice that the dealer's eyes flashed with excitement.
This was a signal of encountering a fat sheep.
She was stupid and had a lot of money. It was her first time in a casino, and the dealer was sure that she would lose so much that she couldn't walk out of the hall.
Gion didn't notice it, but Raleigh did, and he was a little speechless.
Sure enough, casinos everywhere are places where people are eaten without leaving bones.
If Raleigh and Gion were really ordinary people today, they might be eaten up by the casino.
But unfortunately, Raleigh has the ability to flip the table. force, but he didn't want to turn the table over now.
It's rare to bring Gion out for a trip, of course he has to have fun,
Besides, he is also very curious, if he leads Crocodile out because of the trouble, what kind of expression will Crocodile have at that time? At this moment, Crocodile in the office felt a little cold behind him, but he didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he continued to plan his own things."
Robin, the son of the devil, must be someone he must get, and the ancient weapon Pluto must be in his hands. There is also the king of Alabasta, and there is a chance to make him step down and replace him. Although Alabasta is in trouble now, the king's majesty is still there, and he can't be impatient.
Crocodile has purchased a large amount of dancing powder through underground channels, ready to frame the king,
so that the people of this country will form a rebellion and fight against the guards in the hands of the king.
