"Hello, Nico Robin!"
The light words, at this moment, seemed to be infused with a magical sound, directly hitting Nico Robin's soul through the Den Den Mushi.
Bang! The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came without warning.
The feeling was that she was shocked by Kai's words.
"Nico Robin?"
Princess Vivi and Igaram couldn't help but be stunned in place.
All along, Baroque Works' acting president, Miss All Sunday, had given them the feeling of being a cold, calm, and decisive person.
She was even a strange woman who overpowered the senior officers such as Mr. 1.
However, now, she was so shocked by Kai's greeting.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that all of this was true.
"Who exactly are you? I don't know any Nico Robin. I'm Baroque Works' acting president, Miss All Sunday!"
The hurried words had lost their previous cool.
Faced with Kai's sudden address, it undoubtedly disrupted her posture.
Hearing this, Kai said with a playful smile, "You said you're not Nico Robin, then you're not."
"As for me, I'm Mr. Prince!"
Mr. Prince?
Nico Robin was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously searched the Baroque Works' member information in her mind.
However, she quickly woke up. Those who could be given the Mr. title were all senior officers in Baroque Works.
And these people were unique existences, and their numbers were very small.
There was no Mr. Prince at all.
However, before Nico Robin could ask further, the Den Den Mushi had already transmitted a busy tone.
Watching this scene, Nico Robin couldn't help but be stunned in place.
The feeling was as if she had punched cotton. It made people feel angry but had nowhere to vent.
"Nico Robin, what happened to make you, the devil child, show such an expression?"
Rain Dinners, as Crocodile's base and also the headquarters of Baroque Works, Nico Robin had always been hiding here, handling various matters for Crocodile.
It could be said that before completely taking Alabasta as his own, Crocodile wouldn't reveal his fangs from behind the mask of a hero.
At the same time, he wouldn't be related to Baroque Works.
Otherwise, once things were exposed, the fact that Baroque Works was active in Alabasta would become a handle for the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government to target him.
Watching Crocodile, who had suddenly pushed the door open, Nico Robin came back to her senses and said with a gloomy face, "I contacted Mr. 5 just now and found out that he was killed. That person called himself Mr. Prince and could even call my name directly."
Mr. Prince?
Calling your name directly?
Crocodile's expression couldn't help but sink. He said, "Didn't you find any information? Or rather, has there been any foreign strange faces in Alabasta recently? Also, has our Baroque Works offended anyone?"
In Crocodile's eyes, he chose Alabasta as the target of his attack precisely because it existed in the first half of the Grand Line.
This could avoid encountering those monsters in the New World.
At the same time, if he could obtain the Pluton secret hidden in Alabasta, it would be the key for Crocodile to return to the New World for revenge.
"Not yet." Nico Robin shook her head.
However, she quickly remembered one thing and said, "However, something happened in Loguetown not long ago."
"During the mission, Mr. 3 once invited a newcomer named Laxus. I heard that in addition to defeating Marine Colonel Smoker, he also had a brief fight with Admiral Aokiji and didn't fall behind."
"However, according to the information reply, Mr. 3 was defeated. Later, he was captured by Aokiji and Smoker. At the same time, the two people who were carrying out the mission with him, Mr. 11, also disappeared."
The slightly lengthy words echoed in the conference room and couldn't be dispelled for a long time.
"A kid who has fought with Aokiji?"
Crocodile frowned, picked up the information on the table, flipped through it, and then snorted disdainfully. "So it was the Marine who was trying to recruit him. I thought he could really face those monsters like Aokiji head-on."
The strength of the Admiral was known as the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters. Even a unruly existence like Crocodile had to admit it.
"Do you think there's no need to pay attention to him?" Nico Robin looked at Crocodile and asked urgently.
At the moment, it was related to the reason why someone had revealed her identity.
Thinking of those days of fleeing, it was simply a nightmare for Nico Robin.
Especially in Aokiji's hands, she had walked past the gates of hell several times.
"Hmph, a mere newcomer. If I still need to spend time dealing with him, then I would have lost all my Shichibukai status." Crocodile snorted disdainfully.
"However, if he dares to set foot in Alabasta, I will personally turn him into a dried corpse and hang him on the door of Rain Dinners."
The awe-inspiring words echoed in the conference room and couldn't be dispelled for a long time.
Watching Crocodile, who had a confident look, Nico Robin suddenly fell into silence.
Then, she took out another stack of information and said, "This is the Shichibukai Summoning Order. The Marine Headquarters requires you to carry out the mission of encircling World. Are you planning to set off?"
"Encircle World?" Crocodile's expression sank and said, "That's a madman. I didn't expect him to be released as well."
"I heard that this jailbreak incident was led by the Skeletal Demon. Later, after making a big fuss on the Sabaody Archipelago, he disappeared. Now the bounty is 1 billion Berries." Nico Robin said in a deep voice.
It could be said that as long as they weren't people who were isolated from the world, they would know how crazy the situation was in the major events that had happened not long ago.
"Hmph, what bounty of 1 billion? Isn't it just killing two Celestial Dragons and escaping from Akainu and Kizaru?" Crocodile snorted disdainfully.
"Reply to the Marine Headquarters for me. I refuse to carry out this summoning order."
"I don't believe that they can't solve World, that old undead, without me. People of the old era should die of illness sooner or later like Whitebeard."
"If they don't agree, send some money over. Now the plan has reached a critical moment. I don't want to waste all my previous efforts."
After leaving these words, Crocodile turned around and left the conference room, leaving only Nico Robin alone.
After all, after many days, the task of playing the hero was about to continue.
