Luffy was weak and tired, holding out one hand.
"I'm sorry…"
Even so, they still worked and played around.
On the Merry Go, there was laughter and joy.
Vivi saw this and looked a little sad. She didn't understand why these pirates could always be so happy.
Maybe that's what it's like to have no worries, but she couldn't do it.
Alabasta was facing an unprecedented crisis.
If she wasn't careful, her father, Cobra, would become the ruler of a fallen country.
She couldn't let that happen. The Nefertari family's rule must not end with her father.
Thinking this, Vivi went straight back to her room, and Nami, who saw this, sighed.
She didn't know how to make Vivi happy again.
Just then, a newspaper fell onto the deck.
Nami glanced at it and saw a report about Alabasta.
She bent down, picked up the newspaper, opened it, and her pupils shrank.
The report stated that Alabasta was in a critical situation.
The rebel army had launched a rebellion and would soon completely surround the Alabasta Palace.
They were forcing the Alabasta King, Cobra, to step down.
Seeing this, Nami's face became serious, and she quickly hid the newspaper in her clothes.
She couldn't let Vivi know about this, or she would be heartbroken.
Nami felt deep sympathy for Vivi's situation. Compared to Vivi, the hardships she had suffered before didn't seem like much.
The Straw Hat crew, while playing and joking, completely cleared the snow off the ship.
After about ten more minutes, the sky cleared up.
They were so tired that they lay on the deck, breathing heavily.
They had a new understanding of the Grand Line's bad weather.
Raynor rested for a moment and then stood up.
Looking ahead, a small island stood not far away.
From this island, the huge sound of volcanic eruptions could be heard from time to time.
If he wasn't mistaken, this should be Little Garden.
At this time, Nami had also seen Little Garden and pointed at it, saying:
"Luffy, let's stop at that island first. I need to store some magnetic force in the Log Pose, or it will be hard to get to the next island."
As soon as she said this, before Luffy could answer, a cold voice slowly sounded.
"Here, it takes at least a year to store magnetic force. I have a permanent pointer here that can take you directly to Alabasta."
As she spoke, a pointer was thrown down. Nami instinctively took it in her hand.
The next moment, she looked up in alarm and saw a dark-skinned woman in a sexy purple dress sitting on the railing, looking at them.
At this moment, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji, who were still lying on the deck, suddenly got up.
Zoro was the first to put his sword to the woman's neck.
Sanji's gun was already pointed at her head, and Usopp pulled back his slingshot, ready to fire at any moment.
Seeing this, Raynor didn't want to stand idle and silently recited in his heart.
"System, activate the Byakugan!"
As soon as he said this, Raynor's eyes turned white, but now, they were all focused on the woman on the railing.
No one noticed the change in Raynor's eyes.
Raynor immediately recognized that the dark-skinned woman was their future crewmate, the Flower-Flower Fruit user, Nico Robin!
Hearing the commotion, Vivi burst out of the cabin. When she saw Robin, her pupils shrank.
She pointed at Nico Robin with a trembling finger, but couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, a serious look appeared in Nami's eyes, and she came to Vivi's side.
"She's also with Baroque Works, right?"
Hearing this, Vivi nodded with difficulty.
"That's right, she's the number two in Baroque Works, the boss's partner!"
"We only found out the true identity of the boss, Crocodile, by following her!"
Hearing the name "Number Two of Baroque Works,"
Nami's pupils shrank, and she looked at Nico Robin with a serious expression.
"So that means, it was her…"
Before Nami could finish speaking, Vivi bit her lip and was about to rush forward,
But Nami grabbed her.
"Let me go, this is the one who killed Igaram!"
Hearing this, Sanji and the others glared at Robin.
Sanji cocked his gun and shouted angrily:
"Making a beautiful lady angry is unforgivable!"
Usopp's legs were shaking, but he still pointed at Robin with a trembling hand.
"You better not move. You can't beat so many of us on your own."
Zoro didn't say anything, his expression was serious, but he held his sword tightly in his hand.
Luffy, at this moment, angrily stretched out his arm.
He attacked in Robin's direction.
"This guy blew up the old man, today I'm going to avenge him!"
Luffy had just attacked, but somehow his arm curled up, then his arm rotated hitting him and sending him flying.
Seeing this, they realized that the person in front of them was also a Devil Fruit user.
Zoro quickly drew his sword, but it seemed like a hand pushed his right hand and put the sword back, and his whole body quickly fell backward.
Sanji and Usopp also encountered similar strange situations.
It seemed like an unknown hand twisted their wrists and took the slingshot and gun from their hands.
They didn't notice, they just thought it was strange.
But Raynor saw clearly that at that moment, the Flower-Flower Fruit ability was activated, and arms grew out of their bodies.
Raynor quickly jumped to both sides, rushing towards Robin.
Seeing this, Robin instantly activated her fruit ability against Raynor, but the next second, Raynor appeared behind her.
He immediately placed one hand on her pulse.
Robin frowned slightly, looking back at Raynor in disbelief. She didn't expect that there would be such a powerful figure on this ship.
When Robin saw Raynor's pair of white eyes, her expression became a little frightened. What kind of creature was this?
Raynor exerted a little force, pressing on Robin's pulse, causing her veins to throb and forcing her to turn her head back.
At this time, Sanji, who had fallen below, suddenly stared wide-eyed.
"Oh, isn't this a beautiful lady? Hey, Raynor, how can you be so rude to a beautiful lady? Come down quickly!"
Hearing this, everyone glanced at Sanji. This perverted cook was hopeless.
