Conqueror's Haki Upgraded, Instantly Defeats Hundreds of Thousands! (Please Subscribe)

"You..."

Daz Bones slowly lowered his head and stared in disbelief at the savage wound in his chest.

He could not understand why his opponent's attack had managed to break through skin as hard as steel.

But his gradually blurring consciousness no longer allowed him to think much. With a bang, his entire body fell into a pool of blood.

"Phew..."

Seeing Daz Bones fall unconscious and lose the ability to fight, Tashigi finally let out a long breath.

This was the first opponent she had encountered whose name she actually knew.

Defeating Bones was quite an accomplishment.

"Time to find Brother Reno." Tashigi happily jogged away.

Halfway there, she seemed to remember something and turned back the way she had come.

She had forgotten to finish him off.

When dealing with enemies, she absolutely could not be softhearted!

Meanwhile, in the palace garden.

With a bang, the gazebo collapsed, burying Miss Doublefinger beneath the rubble.

"Miss Doublefinger, you're no longer my match. Why struggle so desperately?!!"

"Someone like Crocodile simply isn't worth risking our lives for."

Miss Valentine strolled over as if taking a leisurely walk and pulled Miss Doublefinger out of the ruins.

"Cough, cough, cough... You bastard, couldn't you have gone a little easier on me?!!" Miss Doublefinger spat viciously at Valentine.

The spikes on her body had nearly been broken by her.

"When did you become this strong?!!"

Having been thoroughly beaten into submission, Miss Doublefinger no longer had any desire to fight and simply retracted her spikes.

Miss Valentine proudly raised her head. "Of course, it's because of the captain. Come on, I'll take you to meet him."

"The captain already plans to invite you to join the Reno Pirates. Think it over carefully."

Unlike the other two battlefields, Nami was currently standing with her hands on her hips, stomping her feet in anger.

"Hey, you two—no, you three—can't you get up and fight me a little longer?!!"

No one answered.

Mr. 4 Brula, his partner Miss Christmas, and that Dachshund were all lying on the ground unconscious.

Black smoke continuously rose from the two humans and one dog. They had been numbed by electricity.

With the Weather-Weather Fruit and the Three types of Haki, Nami fighting them was nothing less than a Dimensional Strike.

"What a bore." Nami pouted and turned to leave without much interest.

Inside the palace.

Reno led Robin into a Secret Room deep within the palace.

While Robin wondered why Reno knew about this place, anticipation also rose in her heart.

As the sole survivor who had inherited the will of countless Ohara scholars as well as her mother, Robin had carried an unchanging dream since childhood: to decipher the true history and uncover the truth of the Void Century.

Holding Robin's hand, Reno could clearly feel how excited she was.

"Go take a look." Reno gave Robin a look, then released her hand.

Reno knew Robin was destined to be disappointed.

Because the contents recorded on this Poneglyph were not what Robin wanted.

It did indeed record the location of the ancient Pluto, but it was not in Alabasta. It was in Wano Country.

Robin walked gracefully toward the Poneglyph before her and touched the words inscribed upon it who knew how many years ago.

At that moment, she seemed to resonate with those who came before her. These words seemed to have been waiting for her arrival, waiting for her interpretation.

Reno stood to the side and waited quietly.

After Robin finished reading the contents of the Poneglyph, a trace of disappointment and gloom flashed through her eyes.

Reno had not lied to her. It truly recorded the location of the ancient Pluto, the very thing Crocodile had plotted for years to obtain.

But to her, it had no value at all.

"Don't worry. I know where there are other Poneglyphs. I'll take you to find them someday." Just as disappointment filled her heart, a warm hand landed on her shoulder. Robin looked up at Reno beside her.

"Captain, why are you always so good at finding the perfect moment to comfort a girl?!!"

"That thing you just said really moved me, you know?!!"

Robin, acting spoiled at that moment, was like a perfectly ripe peach.

Reno pulled Robin into his arms. Meeting her gaze, he said word by word, "Robin, I once told you that no one on this sea will ever be alone."

"Your dream is my dream too!"

That sentence again!!

Robin's mind instantly crashed, leaving her completely blank.

After a long while, she finally smiled at Reno. "Captain, don't make me cry again. I really will start crying."

As she spoke, she took Reno's hand and turned to leave the Secret Room.

When the two reached the entrance, the darkness had just faded, and the first ray of morning sunlight fell upon Reno and Robin, warming them both.

Feeling his body warmth, Robin became absentminded and instinctively leaned against Reno's shoulder, deeply etching this moment into her memory.

"Reno, my opponents were way too weak!!"

"Brother Reno, I defeated Mr. 1!!"

"Captain, Miss Doublefinger has agreed to join the Reno Pirates!!"

Nami, Tashigi, and Valentine came running toward Reno from different directions, each wearing a victor's smile.

Of course, there was also the dejected Doublefinger being dragged along by Valentine.

"Robin, do you see? You'll be just like them someday." Reno nodded to the women as he softly spoke to Robin beside him.

Watching the three women run beneath the gentle sunlight, Robin wore the brightest smile she had ever shown in more than twenty years.

Inside the side hall.

Cobra, Vivi, and Reno were talking.

Nami was preparing to use the Weather-Weather Fruit's power to disperse the Dancing Powder, while the other girls had all gone with her.

"Reno, thank you for helping Alabasta. If it hadn't been for you, we would never have been able to deal with Crocodile." Cobra spoke with sincere gratitude.

"I said I would help Vivi." Reno waved his hand indifferently.

Besides, he truly could not stand that arrogant Crocodile.

Hearing Reno say he had done it for her, Vivi immediately covered her face, her little cheeks turning red like ripe apples.

Cobra looked at Vivi with a strange expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew the relationship between the two was somewhat unusual, but surely... surely it had not reached that point yet, right?!

Definitely not!!

Cobra comforted himself.

"Don't celebrate too soon. Alabasta's crisis hasn't been completely resolved yet." Reno deliberately changed the subject to help Vivi out.

"You mean the Rebel Army?!" Cobra's expression immediately darkened.

That was indeed the case.

Although Crocodile, the mastermind behind it all, was dead, the unrest within the country continued to worsen and was faintly beginning to spiral out of control.

By now, Alabasta had gathered a full several hundred thousand rebels.

Such an enormous number weighed so heavily on Cobra that he could barely breathe.

The situation still had not improved for them.

"I've already sent Robin to Kataraya to negotiate with the Rebel Army. There should be news soon." Reno sipped his black tea and spoke unhurriedly.

"The Rebel Army's headquarters?!" Cobra froze.

Brubruru.

Brubruru.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang at the perfect moment.

"How did it go?!" Reno immediately answered.

Robin's low voice immediately came from the other end. "Reno, the situation is not good. This war may already be impossible to stop."

Vivi rose excitedly and hurriedly asked the Den Den Mushi, "Sister Robin, what happened?!"

If the Royal Army and the Rebel Army truly broke out into war, Alabasta would be reduced to a living hell.

Vivi truly did not want to see that happen.

Robin's voice carried helplessness.

"Koza was assassinated by a Baroque Works killer."

"Koza?!!"

The moment he heard that name, Cobra's pupils contracted.

Koza was the leader of the Rebel Army. Now that he was dead, the hundreds of thousands of rebels would definitely think Cobra had done it.

"Koza?!!" Vivi's voice trembled slightly.

"Vivi, you knew him?!" Robin, ever perceptive, immediately noticed something unusual in Vivi's reaction.

When Koza was mentioned, she had clearly become emotional.

"Mm... I've known him since we were very young." Vivi's mood sank.

As childhood friends, she did not want to meet Koza on the battlefield, much less see him harmed.

She had never expected that the next time she heard his name, it would be news of his death.

"...I'm sorry."

After a long silence, Robin continued, "Crocodile had Koza assassinated in order to provoke conflict between the Rebel Army and the king, ignite the war he had planned for so long, and throw Alabasta into complete chaos."

Crocodile's true goal was the Ancient Weapon Pluton.

As for what would become of Alabasta, he could not care less.

"Robin, what is the situation with the Rebel Army right now?!!" Reno asked.

"They have completely lost control."

"Everyone believes that the king sent someone to kill Koza. The Rebel Army has already begun gathering its forces, preparing to storm the Royal Capital and avenge their leader."

That casually spoken sentence made Cobra feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The thing he feared most had still happened.

Robin added, "Captain, their anger can no longer be restrained. If they charge into the Royal Capital..."

Robin's words abruptly stopped, but Cobra suddenly shuddered.

Being torn apart by five horses would be a light punishment.

With Koza's death, even the Rebel Army's last shred of reason had vanished.

They now had only one thought: execute King Cobra.

"Robin, don't worry about things there for now. Come back first." After giving her a few instructions, Reno ended the call with Robin.

"Brother Reno, you definitely have a way, right?!!" Vivi's eyes reddened as she grabbed Reno's hand.
