The airship quickly flew away from the Rain Diners.
Countless gamblers and thugs, their eyes bloodshot, stormed into the luxurious casino, looting and even engaging in fierce battles.
To everyone's surprise, Sand Crocodile, the infamous Shichibukai, did not appear, leaving Otoko to trample and plunder at his Wang Shi.
Now that Wang Shi has eaten the meat, he shouldn't blame them for also having a sip of the soup.
They took everything that the Goa Empire didn't want, even dismantling the gates and roof beams to use as repair timber for their pirate ships.
When Pell the Falcon brought Princess Vivi to the Rainbase at high speed, all they saw was a chaotic Rain Diners, with pirates and gamblers fighting everywhere.
"This is..."
Princess Vivi's eyes were filled with disbelief. This notorious gold mine in Alabasta had actually turned into this.
"Great, Princess! It must be that Wang Shi and Crocodile have fallen out! We still have a chance!"
Pell the Falcon's voice was filled with excitement as he immediately landed with Vivi.
He forcibly arrested a gambler and quickly inquired about the situation.
"Was it really His Wang Shi who robbed the Rain Diners, Crocodile still hasn't shown up?"
"Could it be that the kingdom's hero was scared away by the One Emperor and Two Marquises?"
"They've already flown towards Alubarna?"
Pell the Falcon and Princess Vivi were both shocked by this information.
This Overlord of the East Blue is so domineering that he doesn't even put the Shichibukai in his eyes.
"Uncle Pell, hurry, catch up with them!"
Princess Vivi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she shouted urgently, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Crocodile has now disappeared, and Wang Shi has gone to Alubarna.
If Crocodile goes to Alubarna, her father will be in danger.
Moreover, Wang Shi still doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.
She had to catch up with the Wang Shi quickly; she absolutely could not allow the Goa Empire to become Alabasta's enemy.
"Alright, hold on tight, Princess!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Pell transformed into a giant eagle, hoisted Princess Vivi onto his back, and took off at top speed to catch up with the Goa Empire's airship.
Even the Shichibukai aren't afraid of Wang Shi; this domineering emperor truly frightens Pell.
If Princess Vivi hadn't firmly stated that she had a way to persuade the Wang Shi, he really wouldn't have dared to take Princess Vivi to their deaths.
Hopefully, the princess can really persuade the domineering Wang Shi; otherwise, these two are practically offering themselves up for nothing.
Vivi, perched on the falcon's back, had eyes filled with both anxiety and determination.
She will surely be able to unite with the Wang Shi and get the Goa Empire to suppress Crocodile and the Rebel Army for Alabasta.
···
As the Exile Emperor flew towards Alubarna, Princess Vivi desperately chased after it.
Cobra, along with Crocodile and Nico Robin, finally found an ancient Poneglyph in the Royal Mausoleum.
"Translate this quickly, is this information about Pluton!"
Crocodile tossed the injured Cobra aside, his cold tone filled with anticipation and longing.
"I need some time."
Nicole Robin looked intently at the Poneglyph, reading the Ancient Script on it.
Crocodile stared intently at any change in Robin's expression.
Once he learns the information about Pluton, Cobra and this Child of the Devil will die!
He will obtain the legendary Pluton Battleship!
At that point, who will care about the position of one of the Shichibukai?
He's going to sail the Pluton Battleship to seek revenge on Whitebeard!
He's going to become the Pirate King!
He wants to dominate the world!
Crocodile's eyes were filled with ambition, and his mind was already racing with wild fantasies.
Cobra coughed up blood, looking at Crocodile and the woman.
He hadn't expected this woman to be able to read Ancient Script.
"Crocodile, you've found what you wanted. Let me go, I need to stop the war outside."
Cobra pleaded anxiously, for every moment he delayed here, countless people outside would die.
Whether it was the Royal Army or the instigated and deceived populace.
"Shut up!"
Crocodile ignored Cobra and instantly sliced the noisy king to the ground with a sand blade.
Nico Robin's heart tightened; some of her Flower Eyes caught sight of Crocodile's cold gaze behind her.
She knew that this boss already harbored murderous intent towards her.
She had finished reading the contents of this Poneglyph, and it turned out to be the information about Pluton that Crocodile had mentioned.
This greatly disappointed her.
What she wants to find is the truth Void Century.
Nicole Robin pretended to continue translating while trying to figure out a way to escape.
As for telling Crocodile about Pluton, that's simply impossible.
Robin will not allow this evil boss to obtain such a terrifying Ancient Weapon.
Does it really need to take that long to translate?
Crocodile's tone grew increasingly cold. Could this woman be plotting something to hide from him?
Did she intend to hide and monopolize the information about the Pluton Battleship?
"This section of the Poneglyph recounts the history of the Great Kingdom, but there is no mention of Pluton."
Nico Robin turned to look at Crocodile, spoke earnestly and calmly, without a trace of lying.
"Do you know what the consequences of hiding something are?!"
Crocodile's veins bulged, and the murderous intent in his eyes was impossible to suppress.
"I'm not lying!"
Nicole Robin spoke calmly, her expression unchanged.
'Pfft!'
Crocodile's poisonous Golden Hook pierced Nico Robin's abdomen.
"Tell me information about Pluton, or you will die!"
Crocodile grabbed Robin's face and slammed her to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Cobra, who was nearly fainting, revealed a hint of shock deep in his eyes. He hadn't expected this woman to lie.
They're not actually working together?
He knew that this Poneglyph was definitely not about the history of some Great Kingdom.
"If you don't reveal information about Pluton, you can just wait to die."
Crocodile couldn't believe that the clues he had been investigating for over a decade were false; this woman must have lied to him.
"This is the antidote. Do you want to live, or keep the information for yourself?"
Crocodile took out a small bottle, coldly staring at Nico Robin, his anger and murderous intent reaching their peak.
"This Poneglyph doesn't contain information about Pluton, but the next Poneglyph Pluton. If you kill me, you'll never be able to decipher the information in the Poneglyph."
Robin still didn't reveal the news about Pluton, appearing completely truthful and quietly awaiting her death.
"You bitch!!"
Crocodile kicked Nico Robin away, his face filled with brutality and murderous intent.
Without information about Pluton, what has been the point of all his scheming over the years?
He was warned by the World Government, and now that he has forcibly taken action against Cobra, he will lose his position Shichibukai.
But now he doesn't even have any information about Pluton! He's lost a fortune!
"Quickly reveal information about Pluton!"
Crocodile wanted to see Nico Robin die from the poison; otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to leave like this.
He refused to believe this Child of the Devil, preferring death to revealing the truth.
