When Ryan brought Tiger and Outlook III before her, shock flashed in Evelyn's eyes.

Spring Queen City had been her territory for over a decade. Nothing that happened in the city could escape her notice. Just like Ryan before, every move he made had been under her watch.

But how had Tiger and the others appeared? As a great pirate with a bounty of two hundred million, if Tiger had entered Spring Queen City, her subordinates should have reported it immediately.

However, Evelyn tactfully refrained from asking why Tiger had appeared here.

Although her wariness toward Ryan had increased, the stronger Ryan was and the more incredible his abilities became, the safer her Spring Queen City would be.

Afterward, Tiger and Outlook III discussed the details of their cooperation with Evelyn. The more Evelyn learned, the more curious she became about Ryan.

Alabasta was known as a superpower in the first half of the Grand Line and supposedly had a standing army of four hundred thousand. In reality, however, only around two hundred thousand of them were combat-ready. Yet the people Tiger spoke of were all capable soldiers!

It had to be said that Ryan had made the right choice by establishing his base in the Four Seas back then.
