Change

"That's about it, so I've now become the Vice President of Baroque Works again," Robin said slowly.

"The Spade Pirates attacked Baroque Works?"

Xia Qiu lay on the sandy shore, looking somewhat surprised.

Isn't the Spade Pirates Ace's pirate crew?

How did we end up on this route and get into a conflict with Baroque Works?

"So my main job going forward is to oversee the growth of Baroque Works," Robin said, standing there with a smile.

Xia Qiu was a little curious, so he wrote a few words and asked, "The Spade Pirates, please introduce them."

"Good, I just got the information about it from Crocodile."

After reading the text, Robin slowly said, "The captain of the Spade Pirates is named Ace, Devil Fruit User the Flame-Flame Fruit. He is incredibly strong, having defeated more than a dozen renowned pirate crews, destroyed at least eight naval warships, defeated Vice Admiral Dalmatia of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, and fought a five-day, five-night battle with Jinbe, one of the Shichibukai of the Shichibukai, to a draw. He was invited to become a Warlord of the Sea but declined. Later, he challenged Whitebeard but failed, and became the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. His current bounty is 350 million."

"The result is the same, so why..."

Xia Qiu knew that he had been invited to become Shichibukai, fight Jinbe, and challenge Whitebeard to become the second division commander, but why did he clash with Baroque Works? Was he also traveling this route?

"Besides the captain, the Spade Pirates have several other individuals with bounties on their heads."

Robin said, "Second on the list is Giant Arm Brant, whose bounty was 120 million during his time with the Spade Pirates. After Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he left to form the Boxer Pirates, reaching a peak bounty of 220 million. He was later defeated in a battle against the Marines and died from his injuries. Third is Morich, Spade Pirates and 120 million after joining the Whitebeard Pirates. Third is Hachi -Six-Sword Style Fish-Man, Spade Pirates, once second only to Ace. After Brant joined, he became third, but disappeared after the Sabaody Archipelago and hasn't seen a rise in his bounty since. Fourth is Nami, whose peak bounty was 45 million during her time with the Spade Pirates. She joined the Whitebeard Pirates after Ace and currently has a bounty of 60 million. There are also two others..."

"Hachi, the Hachi Fish-Man, and Nami?"

Xia Qiu's eyes widened. Could they be Hachi and Nami, whom she knew?

Octopus Fish-Man are already few in number, and this Six-Sword Style swordsman, named Hachi, is Hachi Xia Qiu thinks has a good chance of escaping from his mouth.

As for Nami, perhaps there are other people who use this name.

If either of these two people appeared alone, Xia Qiu wouldn't be certain that it was the two of them.

However, they all appeared together, and this changed the composition of Ace's Spade Pirates.

Hachi and Nami were both in the Arlong Pirates, and they were among the few survivors of the Arlong Pirates.

Ace is in the East China Sea again.

so...

It seems the shift in Ace's storyline was due to Nami joining the crew, and if Nami joined the Whitebeard Pirates...

Xia Qiu was somewhat surprised that he had changed history, and changed it significantly. In at least two more years, his precognitive abilities would completely fail.

Change is fine, but the Straw Hat's experiences will definitely change after they devour the Arlong Pirates and attack Baroque Works. I've been mentally prepared for that for a long time.

However, what Xia Qiu finds regrettable is that the main timeline will also change.

Is it possible that Fourth Division Captain Thatch couldn't find the Dark-Dark Fruit? Teach wouldn't have killed Thatch for the Dark-Dark Fruit, then betrayed him, and then been hunted down, leading to a major battle between Ace Teach on Banaro Island.

He had long ago decided to go to Banaro Island two years later to reap the benefits, but now it seems that things have become uncertain.

Even without going to Banaro Island, there were plenty of corpses to eat from the Summit War.

At that time, I will truly transform and become incredibly powerful.

But now everything is uncertain.

With both paths blocked, we have no choice but to remove them from the plan for the time being.

So, if you want to become stronger, there's only one chance left.

That is, to kill Crocodile and take control of Baroque Works.

Robin has now returned to the company and become its Vice President, fulfilling the basic requirements of the second step of the plan.

Moreover, she is in charge of expanding the Baroque Works, and will be in contact with every member, so that everyone will know of her existence.

Once she has established her prestige and status, and everyone knows her, the plan can be executed.

Robin patted Xia Qiu's huge leg and said, "Not long ago, Baroque Works invited a strong person to join Baroque Works. He's very powerful and can become Senior Agent directly. He's currently waiting in Whiskey Peak Town. I'm going there for the assessment today. Are you interested in coming with me?"

"Good."

Xia Qiu's eyes lit up. She decided to go to Whiskey Peak Town and see if she could mooch a few meals off a few people.

Xia Qiu immediately climbed into the water, while Robin leaped onto a giant turtle and sat on its chair.

The turtle was about 15 meters long and 4 to 5 meters tall. It floated on the water, but looked somewhat fearful.

"Binchi is gone."

Robin patted Binchi, Binchi looked at Xia Qiu with some fear and hesitated to swim.

"Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you."

Robin said softly, then glared at Xia Qiu and said, "Don't scare him."

"I really want to eat it. I don't think I've ever eaten a turtle before. Turtles are very nutritious."

Xia Qiu was somewhat disappointed. She closed her drooling mouth and walked away a distance.

Binchi lowered his guard and began to swim.

Whiskey Peak, the town's bars are filled with people, and many of the faces here are completely different from what they were a year and a half ago.

"I heard he just easily defeated Mr. 8 and Monday?"

A bounty hunter looked at the burly figure standing by the table in the corner with a somewhat surprised expression.

"That's right, Mr8 and Monday challenged him and were each defeated in one move."

Another bounty hunter whispered, "And I heard he came here to become Senior Agent directly."

Beside him, a black-haired man said, "This morning Mr8 said that MissallSunday is coming to conduct a personal assessment."

"MissallSunday? Has the president found a new partner?" a chubby man asked curiously.

The black-haired man laughed and said, "Of course not, it seems to be the same MissallSunday. I heard she didn't die at all, but returned after some training."

"She survived being attacked by a sea monster and falling into the sea? She seems to be Devil Fruit User, right?" the woman in green asked curiously.

"How could the president's partner die so easily?" a short man said with a smile.

The obese man laughed and said, "It's great that she's back. With the sea monster attack and the Spade Pirates' destruction of the town, Baroque Works has been declining. Hopefully, Missall Sunday's return will allow Baroque Works to regain its former glory."

"Let's hope so." The other bounty hunters also had a hint of anticipation.

In the distance, the burly man overheard their conversation and sneered, "The president's partner is testing me? Perfect, I want to see how strong she is too. If the Vice President of Baroque Works isn't as strong as me, then there's no point in joining this Baroque Works."

With that thought in mind, the man raised his glass and drank.

Thump, thump, thump.

But then, a huge sound suddenly came from afar, one after another, getting closer and louder.

"What happened?"

Startled by the noise, the hunters stood up and headed outside.

"What happened?"

The man also stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.

The next moment, he was astonished by what he saw.

In the distance appeared a gigantic, ferocious beast, about fifty meters long and nearly ten meters high, with sharp dorsal fins.

It has six legs and is walking towards us step by step, making a deafening sound with each step.

Beside the ferocious beast was a tall woman wearing a round hat. She followed the Giant Beast, her hands in her pockets, curiously looking at the surrounding buildings, relaxed and carefree, as if she were on a vacation.

The burly man was slightly taken aback when he saw the woman. Could she be Miss All Sunday?

He looked at the Giant Beast again, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Is it that strong?

Forget it, I'll just obediently accept the assessment.
