After taking control of the core members of the Domain of Beasts.

Noah did not immediately implement any drastic changes.

Because the Domain of Beasts currently has 130,000 ordinary civilians and more than 3,000 Beast Soldiers, among whom are intelligence personnel from the Cipher Pol, the Revolutionary Army, and underground giants.

They've already carried out an "island annihilation" operation on Doria's side before. If they do it again this time, it's easy for outsiders to connect the two events.

Therefore, it will take some time to completely clean up the Rudolph Archipelago.

Noah first had Juniper plant intelligence agents in the Paradise, disguised as human traffickers, to sell some civilians as slaves. Then, he arranged a shipwreck to make the slave transport ship "disappear" at sea.

The selected civilians were naturally those who were already in dire straits.

The remaining civilians were temporarily assigned to cultivate land on North Forest Island in the Rudolph Archipelago and to mine Star Rock on Star Island, while ordinary people were relocated from Tyrannosaurus Island.

Of those beast soldiers, apart from a small number who went to North Forest Island and Star Island as temporary supervisors, the rest all stayed on Tyrannosaurus Island.

In particular, all the intelligence agents hidden within must be confined to Tyrannosaurus Island.

In less than a month.

Noah and his group completed the initial adjustments and modifications to the Domain of Beasts. With Mary's help, they uncovered all 17 intelligence agents hidden among the Beast Soldiers.

Huazha also escorted the three Zoan Devil Fruit back to Tyrannosaurus Island.

Inside the underground base on Tyrannosaurus Island.

Noah looked at the three Devil Fruit that Huazha back. They were all very ordinary Zoan: the Dog-Dog Fruit, Long-haired Dog Model), the Ox-Ox Fruit, Goral Model), and the Shell-Shell Fruit, Oyster Model ).

" Huazha, call the people on the list over here."

Upon receiving the list, Huazha discovered that these individuals were among the more formidable members of the Beast Soldiers.

As for whether these people are guilty or not, there is basically no need to investigate, because during the invasion of the Rudolph Archipelago, these people burned, killed, and looted here for several days.

Soon, all 20 beastmen on the list appeared in the underground base.

Several of them were intelligence agents, and they were shocked. They had no idea that Huazha had built such a large underground base here.

However, they were soon even more shocked.

Because in the hall at the end of the passage, an unexpected person appeared.

Before they could react, the terrifying black iron sand held them firmly in place, and the intelligence agents were crushed by the iron sand.

Then Ray packed up 12 of the Beast Soldiers and sent them to the Thriller Bark, to be used by Moria as material for the Living Dead Legion.

The last three remaining are the targets for on-site renovation.

The creation of three ordinary Minor Arcana Apostle was completed quickly.

The enhanced and adjusted Domain of Beasts now features the Huazha, King of Lizards at its core, along with three Beast Chieftains of Thousands and seven Beast Chieftains of Centurions.

The three chieftains of the three beasts are: the Raptor, the Ankylosaurus (selected from the Distillery's intelligence personnel), Mantis ( Juniper ).

The centurions of the ferocious beasts are: Pangolin, Gecko, Giraffe, Seal, Long-haired Dog, Goral, and Oyster.

These centurions of beasts can be added to the force in the future.

After all, Noah's Minor Arcana Deck still has many slots available, and these slots aren't irreplaceable after the modification. If better candidates emerge in the future, those ordinary Zoan users can be recalled.

After arranging the follow-up matters, Noah left the Rudolph Archipelago and headed to his next destination.

Currently, two of the Shichibukai have been controlled.

Next up, naturally, was Crocodile.

This guy seems to have been provoked recently and has started causing trouble in Alabasta, while also intensifying his search for Poneglyph and Ancient Weapon.

Crocodile, however, knew how to seize opportunities. Under the guise of helping the World Government find the Kingdom of Dawn, he expanded his agent force several times over.

Meanwhile, the Cipher Pol has been preoccupied with the issues of the Liberator Organization and the Sky Empire, and has not had much energy to focus on Crocodile.

Unfortunately, this crocodile was destined for tragedy.

Alabasta Kingdom, Rain Dinners Oasis.

Crocodile's Crocodile Casino is located here. Without Robin and Daz's help, he has to personally communicate with a few core members in order to manage Baroque Works.

Therefore, von Clay, Pola, the baseball-loving fat man, the Mole- old woman, and others were all personally recruited by Crocodile.

Besides these people, five other skilled fighters also joined Baroque Works under Crocodile's coercion and enticement.

One is Eric the Whirlwind of the East Blue, Devil Fruit User.

Mad, a treasure hunter from the Grand Line, Devil Fruit User.

One is Biru, the captain of the Silver Pirates, Devil Fruit User.

One is Aberon, the second-in-command of the Silver Pirates, and Devil Fruit User.

The last one is Baccarat, a lucky girl who frequents various casinos in the Paradise; Devil Fruit User.

Clearly, Crocodile's Baroque Works did not stagnate in the new timeline where Robin, Daz, Galdino, Bomb Man, Light and Heavy Women, and Goldenweek were not recruited.

Deep within the casino of Rain Dinners.

Baccarat, somewhat helplessly carrying a large stack of documents, walked into Crocodile's office.

"Mr. President, M1 has found the thing hidden in the palace. Here are the photos he took."

Crocodile, smoking a cigar, took the file and flipped through the Poneglyph that seemed like gibberish. His head immediately felt throbbing. He took a deep drag of his cigar, closed the folder, and then looked up, asking in a menacing tone:

How much luck have you accumulated this time?

Baccarat replied with a forced smile, "About two hundred servings. Lately, those gamblers haven't been coming to our casino."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can find that legendary weapon, it doesn't matter if the casino business is ruined."

Baccarat shook her head. "But the luck I've accumulated so far is simply not enough to guide me to what you're looking for."

"Really? How many more people's luck do you need to absorb?" Crocodile asked, growing impatient.

We'll need about a thousand people.

"Time is running out, absorb as much luck as possible."

"I can only do my best."

Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, "Get me some advertising. Create a newcomer perk: every newcomer who enters the casino for the first time will receive 100,000 Beli as betting capital."

"I estimate that it will take about a month to absorb enough luck for a thousand people."

Just then, Baccarat's Den Den Mushi rang.

After the call was connected, the manager in charge of casino management gave an urgent report.

"Vice President, there's a new recruit acting very strangely. He's won 15 consecutive times on the slot machines. I suspect he's cheating."

I'll go and handle it later.

Crocodile frowned, but didn't pay much attention. After all, quite a few people had cheated at his casino over the years, but none of them had ended up well.

"Mr. President, I need to take care of this matter first."

Go!

After Baccarat left, Crocodile looked at the wall next to him, where Robin's wanted poster was posted. He looked somewhat helpless. If Robin, a historian, were here, there would be no need to go to such lengths to utilize Baccarat's lucky ability.
