The investment had not even begun, yet it already showed signs of failure...
But Robin did not want to give up just like that.
She silently watched the direction in which Maud had left, then pulled her collar higher to cover her mouth and chin.
The Shichibukai meeting had ended more than a day ago. Crocodile could come to the Sabaody Archipelago and meet up with her at any time, after which they would return directly to Alabasta together.
So, strictly speaking, she did not have much time left.
"Before Crocodile comes back..."
A faint light flickered in Robin's eyes. She first raised her collar, then lowered the brim of her hat, burying her face in shadow.
After standing there for several seconds, she lightly leaped onto the street. She deliberately circled through the buildings before heading in the direction Maud had left.
If Maud had made himself clear before leaving just now, perhaps she would not have needed to risk contacting him again.
Thinking of this, Robin felt rather vexed.
She had at least been the one to reveal the information first. Even if he did not want to give her a reward, was it really so difficult to make himself clear before leaving?
Vexed as she was, Robin still wanted to make an attempt.
Whether this matter succeeded or not, she had to get a complete answer from Maud.
Before leaving the shopping street, Robin looked back at the street drenched in corpses and blood.
That was Maud's handiwork.
As for the pug that had crazily rammed into Shalria earlier, although it had suddenly stopped, Shalria had still shot it dead in her rage.
The pug had stopped at exactly the moment Maud left.
Clearly, that was also undoubtedly Maud's handiwork.
Robin knew the details inside and out.
