The Pirate Garen

When the anger dissipated, Crocodile became silent, stern, and calm again.

There are only wrong names in the world, not wrong nicknames.

Crocodile has always been like his "sand crocodile", cold-blooded, fierce, but accustomed to patience.

After seeing the current situation clearly, he suppressed the unwillingness to give up the tempting prey in his heart, and buried the raised crocodile head back under the calm water.

But he didn't give up, but put all his bets on the next attack.

"Robin."

Crocodile cast his cold eyes on Robin beside him, and his plain tone was full of invisible deterrence:

"The next action requires you to take action."

"Go and gain the trust of that hypocrite, and find out the whereabouts of the historical text!"

Robin nodded without hesitation, and this was the solution she had already discussed with Crocodile.

The historical text about the whereabouts of Hades is a treasure guarded by the Alabasta royal family for generations, and its exact whereabouts are only known to the current King Cobra.

According to Crocodile's original plan, he would set off a vigorous riot in Alabasta, and then take advantage of the chaotic situation to take control of the royal city of Albana, and finally use some tricks such as torture and threats Means to ask the whereabouts of the historical text from Cobra's mouth.

But now that his plan of stealing the country is hindered, Crocodile has no choice but to use the curve to steal the country to achieve his goal:

That is to send Robin to pretend to defect to Galen, and then use this other kleptocrat's relationship with the Alabasta royal family to learn the whereabouts of the historical text.

Anyway, the role that Nicole Robin, an archaeologist, can play is well known to the world, and Crocodile does not believe that the pious thief can resist the temptation of the ancient weapon Pluto.

"but."

Crocodile took another deep look at Robin, not hiding the cold killing intent in his tone at all:

"After you arrive under Galen's command, you must report to me regularly."

"Otherwise... I will definitely make you die ugly!"

"clear."

Robin returned Crocodile with an unreadable formulaic smile, turned around and left the office.

Looking at Robin's disappearing figure, Crocodile couldn't help feeling anxious:

Robin is a woman who changes bosses as often as she changes clothes, and betrayal of her "companion" is just commonplace for her.

If Robin completely sided with Galen in a fake show, the only thing Crocodile can do is to retaliate with brutal force.

Crocodile had never fully trusted Robin, but now he had to pin his hopes of finding ancient weapons on this woman whom he could not see through.

Such a situation full of variables made Crocodile very tangled and uneasy.

However, what made him even more entangled was the scene he saw on the pier a few days ago.

To be precise, it is the picture of Galen fighting the pirates on the pier that day:

"That Galen doesn't seem to be as strong as imagined."

Crocodile sat on the sofa and muttered to himself in a low voice:

"But I also witnessed the battle between him and Hawkeye before, there is absolutely no fake."

"Could it be."

Crocodile frowned tightly, thinking of a very likely reason:

"Is this guy deliberately showing weakness in front of me, and wants me to take my life lightly like last time?"

"It's really unpredictable..."

"You want to quit?"

Galen looked at Miss Robin in front of him with some surprise, and immediately blurted out a rhetorical question.

"That's right."

Robin gently stroked his broad hat brim, a charming smile appeared on his pretty face intentionally or unintentionally, and his demeanor was full of mysterious and elegant style.

The mature Robin knows how to show women's own charm, and unconsciously carries a bit of seductive taste in every frown and smile.

Robin doesn't need to wear underwear as a coat like Nami, Robin can win Galen's admiring gaze with a few small expressions.

So before Galen spoke, Nami hastily stood in front of Galen:

"I disagree."

Princess Vivi, who has been avoiding Nami for some unspeakable embarrassment, stood on the united front with her best friend without hesitation at this moment:

"Me too."

As if to enhance persuasiveness, Weiwei blushed again and added:

"She's the No. 2 figure in the Baroque Work Club, she's definitely not a good person!"

Facing such fierce obstruction and opposition, Robin couldn't help but slightly raised his head and glanced at the two girls.

Nami and Weiwei immediately stared back with their heads held high, looking like they were fighting against each other.

It's a pity that Robin ignored the provocations of the two young girls. He just ignored them as if they were air, and then turned his head to focus on the real person in charge, Galen.

Nami and Weiwei immediately flushed with anger.

Robin looked at Galen without squinting, and said in a calm tone:

"I want to defect to your command, so I will naturally show acceptable sincerity."

She glanced at the "idlers" next to her again, and said clearly:

"I would like to speak to you alone about this."

"you!"

Nami's almond eyes widened, pointed at Robin and asked:

"What kind of 'sincerity' do you have that you can't let us see?"

Robin smiled without saying a word, just silently watching Nami and Weiwei turn themselves into white pufferfish.

"Ahem..."

Galen pulled back Nami, who was about to rush to Robin, and said solemnly:

"It's a matter of work, let me go and talk to her."

Nami's flushed cheeks suddenly became rounder.

But after pondering for a while, Nami chose to cooperate with Weiwei and retreated together.

It's just that after going out, Nami deliberately opened the door wide, and gave Robin a "sinister" look before leaving.

"It's really interesting..."

Robin shook her head helplessly, she was not interested in getting involved in the emotional entanglements of these two young girls.

For Robin, just surviving is already exhausting enough, how could he be in the mood to waste time on such useless things.

Then--

A hand grew from behind the door, slammed the door shut in front of Nami, and slammed the lock tightly.

Galen could clearly hear the girl's puffing and heavy panting outside the door.

"alright."

Robin smiled slightly: "Now we can have a good talk."

"Speak straight, don't waste your time."

Galen gave Robin a cold look, and his tone was so serious that Robin couldn't react.

In Robin's impression, Galen didn't have the aggressive temperament of a hegemon.

Then, I only heard Galen add a serious sentence:

"It's been a long time and I can't explain it."

Four chapters a day is really killing me... And I'm still finishing it with my mobile phone on the long-distance train home... (_;)
