Senga stood in front of the Baroque Works, about to teleport in, when suddenly the door opened.
What came into Senga's view was Crocodile with a smile on his face and a group of executives behind him.
Senga was taken aback by the group's behavior; why did this reception feel like a welcoming ceremony?
Crocodile tried his best to make his scarred face look kind as he approached Senga and said,
"Admiral Purple Kirin, is a mere Alabasta worth your personal visit?"
Senga didn't respond immediately, but instead stared at Crocodile with her arms crossed until Crocodile became uncomfortable before finally speaking.
"You should know perfectly well what you've done. Do I really have to spell it out for you?"
Although Senga's tone sounded calm, it was like a death knell to Crocodile's ears. He knew that this Purple Kirin must know that everything that had happened in Alabasta recently was related to him.
He's clearly here to confront me!
But despite understanding the situation, Crocodile showed no intention of making a move.
He knew that once a fight broke out, he and his men would likely disappear from the world immediately.
Crocodile then did something that shocked his subordinates: he lowered his proud head and told them everything they had done during that time.
Turles looked at Crocodile in disbelief and said,
"Boss... Boss?"
"Shut up! Don't even think about resisting this man!"
To be fair, Crocodile was indeed a ruthless and cunning man; he understood that in this situation, honesty was the best option.
Senga hadn't expected Crocodile, who had been so defiant and defiant during the Marineford War, to adopt such a humble attitude; it was quite different from his expectations.
However, Senga did not intend to let Crocodile off so easily. He slowly walked to the chair at the end of the room, sat down, and crossed his legs.
He placed his hand on the table and found that the spot where his hand was resting was warm. Robin, who was very close to the table, blushed slightly, because that was the spot where she had just been sitting.
Senga glanced at Robin. The current Robin looked a bit younger than in the original anime, but it didn't diminish her unique charm.
Unlike Nami, who's a fiery personality in the Straw Hat Pirates, Robin can be seen as having a "motherly" role within the Straw Hat Pirates.
She is a typical intellectual beauty; she is brave, strong, understanding, and gives people a very reliable feeling.
Robin noticed that Senga was looking at her, and her heart tightened immediately.
She knew she also had the identity of "Child of the Devil," and if Purple Kirin found out about this, she probably wouldn't be able to leave today.
She didn't believe that Purple Kirin would be as forgiving of her, the "Child of the Devil," as Aokiji was.
Fortunately, Senga didn't continue looking at her. He quickly shifted his gaze to Crocodile's face and said, seemingly casually,
"So are you sure you've told everyone everything?"
Crocodile's statement was indeed comprehensive, but regarding his purpose, he only mentioned wanting to replace the king, without mentioning "Pluton" at all.
So Senga still needs to use this to give him a warning.
Crocodile swallowed hard, feeling uneasy and unsure if Senga knew something.
Seeing that Crocodile remained silent, Senga didn't say anything more either. He stood up and slowly walked to Robin's side, and under Robin's horrified gaze, he reached out and hooked her chin with his finger.
Senga admired Robin's delicate face for a moment, then said softly,
"How do you explain the fact that the 'Child of the Devil,' who is wanted by the World Government, has become the vice president of Baroque Works?"
Senga's words exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap. Crocodile felt his hands and feet turn cold; he hadn't expected Senga to know so much about Robin's identity.
He knew perfectly well that once Robin's identity was revealed, his so-called status as Shichibukai would be truly doomed!
Thinking of this, Crocodile's heart sank, and suddenly strands of sand appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, as if he was about to make a move.
Senga, however, seemed oblivious to Crocodile's actions. He smiled as he watched Robin, curious to see her reaction.
Robin's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Looking at Senga in front of her, a sense of despair welled up in her heart.
"It seems I have to stop here!"
Two lines of tears slid down Robin's face. She was not afraid of death; she was only saddened that she had not been able to fulfill her mother's wish to see the true history.
When Senga saw that Robin was crying, he quickly moved his fingers away.
He had only intended to scare Robin like Aokiji did, but he never expected that Robin would break through his defenses so easily.
This left Senga somewhat frustrated. Did his face really look that scary? Aokiji was frightening, but he wasn't?
Despite her frustration, Senga reached out again to wipe away Robin's tears, saying helplessly,
"Alright, stop crying. I have no interest in catching you."
"...?"
Robin remained motionless as Senga's fingers gently brushed across her face, looking at Senga with a puzzled expression.
She was somewhat skeptical that Senga would simply let her, the "Child of the Devil," go unpunished. She was well aware of her own worth; anyone would consider capturing her a great achievement, let alone Senga, a Marine Admiral.
Faced with Robin's suspicious gaze, Senga shrugged and said nonchalantly,
"I just don't want to please those idiots in the World Government, believe it or not."
These words left everyone present completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, what did they just hear?!
How could Marine Admiral Purple Kirin show such disdain for the World Government, even going so far as to openly and blatantly insult them?!
Is this something they can listen to?! Does Purple Kirin's statement mean she's already decided to silence them?!
Robin's eyes widened in disbelief; she now had serious doubts about whether the young man before her was indeed the legendary Marine Admiral Purple Kirin.
Senga ignored Robin and only glanced at Crocodile indifferently.
Crocodile was immediately dissuaded from taking a gamble by Senga's Rinnegan, even if it was just a glance Rinnegan, and he immediately became obedient.
Senga's gaze swept across the room, and those he saw instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet Senga Rinnegan.
Just as Senga was pondering how to deal with these people, a lazy-sounding voice rang out from the doorway.
"Oh my, Senga, you're so fast!"
