Robin, Are You Thinking of Changing Bosses?

Instead of killing the agents immediately, Ivan created a wooden cell to temporarily imprison them.

Ivan no longer lacks ways to improve his combat power; what he needs is to increase the acceptance of the template.

A large number of templates will distract him, and the higher the template's approval rating, the greater the power boost.

If he has a large number of templates, his progress might actually slow down instead of increase.

Instead of killing them and extracting templates, it's better to temporarily recruit them and treat them as expendable resources; that's the way to maximize profits.

Moreover, if someone is there, and there aren't enough templates, or if they don't obey, they can be killed at any time.

Now that Ivan has mastered some of the Sealing Jutsu, he is absolutely confident that he can make them obey!

Ivan used his Wood Release to further expand the ATV; now, the ATV he rides is more like a mobile castle than a vehicle.

Such intense use of power would be an unbearable burden for an ordinary Devil Fruit User, but for Ivan, the rate of consumption couldn't keep up with his recovery rate!

ATVs, prisons.

Ivan smiled at the agents imprisoned in the cell and said, "So, choose: do you want to live and become my subordinate, or die?"

Mr. 1 stepped forward first and said in a deep voice, "Kill me! I am absolutely loyal to the president and will never betray him!"

Ivan was not surprised by Mr. 1's reaction.

In the original comics, he did not betray his father even after the defeat in Alabasta, and continued to follow Crocodile to the New World after Impel Down.

Ivan didn't waste any words of persuasion. Although people with special abilities are rare, they are not hard to find for the strong.

If this batch doesn't work, just replace it with another batch; he won't lack men!

Ivan slid his index finger, and Mr. 1 froze instantly, his head flying into the air, and he died.

After Mr. 1 died, Ivan looked at the other agents and asked gently, "And you?"

The other agents were not loyal to Crocodile, and upon hearing Ivan's question, they rushed to speak:

"I agree, I will become your subordinate!"

"Me too!"

"I've heard of you. You seem to be a friendlier boss than the president, so I'll join you too!"

After the numerous agents agreed, Ivan nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, you made the right choice. From now on, Mr. 3 will be your team leader, while you will temporarily be responsible for cleaning and handling miscellaneous tasks, and you will also be fighting on the front lines during wartime."

Mr. 3 hesitated before raising his hand. "Rear Admiral Ivan, fighting is fine, but cleaning up..."

"You have a problem with that?"

Although Ivan still wore a friendly smile, Mr. 3 no longer had the courage to offer any suggestions.

Just moments ago, Ivan had been laughing as he killed off a large number of his comrades; he dared not test Ivan's patience.

Next, Ivan planted a timed-detonation Sealing Jutsu in everyone's hearts, ensuring they couldn't escape, and then the group officially joined Ivan's ranks.

But apart from Mr. 3, who is the captain, the others in Ivan's command are not even as good as a normal marine.

After all, Ivan only saw them as consumables!

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Once again, Deep Forest Emergence, the dense forest turning the desert green and giving the country vibrant life.

Ivan stood atop the ATV, gazing into the distance at a vibrant and dynamic city unlike any other in Alabasta.

That's Crocodile's stronghold, Rainbase!

When Ivan arrived in the Rainbase, he was greeted with cheers from many civilians, but he did not see the person he was looking for.

This made Ivan shake his head.

After escaping from the New World, Crocodile is nowhere near as good as he used to be.

Previously, he dared to challenge Whitebeard, and although he failed and lost an arm, this was enough to reflect Crocodile's formidable strength.

After all, most people are simply not worthy of Whitebeard's attention, let alone escaping from his Whitebeard.

At that time, Crocodile was at the peak of his strength, absolutely comparable to Doflamingo, or even Doflamingo!

Now, Crocodile doesn't even dare to easily kill a mere major Rear Admiral like him.

How much of his strength does Crocodile have left after this?

Crocodile that has lost its fighting spirit is nothing more than a salted fish.

Upon arriving in Rainbase, Ivan headed straight for the Rain Dinners. In the anime, Rain Dinners is the epitome of extravagance; I wonder what the real Rain Dinners is like?

Upon entering the Rain Dinners, the smells of cigars and cloying perfumes immediately fill the air.

The first thing that catches the eye is the magnificent hall, which is tens of meters high and filled with numerous gambling tables. A large number of richly dressed guests are gathered around the gambling tables, shouting and yelling with flushed faces.

This is heaven, but also hell.

Ivan and his group stopped at the simplest dice game table, exchanged their money for one million Beli, and began gambling.

Upon seeing Ivan and his group arrive and discovering they were unfamiliar faces, the croupier initially mistook them for easy targets.

But after Ivan placed several bets, they were shocked to discover that this was no easy prey, but a great white shark!

Every time Ivan placed a bet, he would put all his chips on it, and he won every time.

In just half an hour, his stakes went from 1 million to 64 million!

This number made the dealer keep wiping away sweat.

Her legs were now weak, and she dared not host the gambling game anymore. If she continued to lose, her boss would surely feed her to the crocodiles!

Just as Ivan was about to urge the dealer to continue the game, a voluptuous and stunningly beautiful woman suddenly came down from upstairs and stood beside Ivan.

She gave the dealer a wink, and the dealer immediately bowed repeatedly and left respectfully.

The woman stood beside Ivan and smiled at Ivan and his companions, saying, "Gentlemen, your current stakes are no longer suitable for staying in the lobby. Please come upstairs with me; I'll take you to the VIP area."

Ivan did not refuse and followed the woman away.

On the way to the second floor, Ivan chatted with the woman. "Miss, what's your name?"

You can call me Miss All Sunday.

"Does Miss All Sunday have any plans to change bosses?"

The woman turned her head and gave Ivan a deep look. "It seems Major Ivan is very confident about this operation, but changing bosses is out of the question. I don't like the Navy."

"Don't rush to refuse, Miss Robin. Trust me, I can protect you. I also really hate those bastards in the Cipher Pol!"

Upon hearing this, Robin's body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

She turned around and looked at Ivan in disbelief.

This naval Supernova actually knew her true identity, and what surprised her even more was that this naval Supernova seemed somewhat eccentric.

As a naval officer, he actually wanted to protect this "Devil Child" who was wanted by the World Government!
