That night, there was also patter of rain.
After watching Adams leave, Dr. Hook thought in his heart that the other person was a lunatic, but when he lay back on the bed, the whole person's mind seemed to haunt those words over and over again, even deep in one's heart. Then a glimmer of anticipation that made him feel terrified, he hoped that everything Adams said would become true.
In the early morning of 2nd day, he took a bottle of reagents to the medical department, and carried out detection and analysis of the reagents. The complex structure of the components was far beyond his imagination. The person who could make this thing , Must have profound knowledge in the field of science.
A few days later, everything Adams said began to gradually become true, and he also took the reagents out according to Adams' orders.
He went from an unknown staff member to Chief-In-Charge, the laboratory where Alabasta cracked toxins.
The long exhales one breath saying, Dr. Hook suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, he added: "The composition of this toxin is very complex, and it is very difficult to create a buffer that suppresses diffusion. , To completely create an antidote to crack the toxin within two months, with the ability of Alabasta Medical Department, it is almost impossible to achieve, unless..."
"Unless what?" Saka's heart sank. , Asked.
"Unless we find the source of the toxin!" Dr. Hooker explained: "The toxin we are analyzing is collected from rainwater and the infected person's within the body, not the source of the initial spread of the toxin. , We need to find out what this toxin looks like before it blends into the rain, that is to say, we must find a person who puts the poison, which is the most sure way to develop an antidote."
"Made into the rain? Put the poison?" Sarkar looked ugly, and he seemed to think of something bad.
"Yes, I can confirm that the ingredients of this toxin are artificially synthesized, and the medical department has also inferred that this toxin has a high probability of being adulterated in dancing powder. It floats over Albana and then is dissolved by the condensation of rain vapor, and finally penetrates into the skin and muscles of the human body, causing a large-scale infection." Dr. Hooker flashed Adams's face in his mind, then gritted his teeth and said to Saka. : "The medical department needs to get toxin-doped dancing fans!"
"Dancing fans!"
A group of royal family members and official dignitaries all looked at each other secretly. , Judu read a message from the other's blinking eyes.
Two or three months ago, there have been rumors spreading in the streets of Albana. The rumors are directed at the Guardian God of Alabasta, and Crocodile, one of Shichibukai-Crocodile.
"Your Majesty, there are rumors that Crocodile is using dancing powder!" a military high-level voice said in a low voice.
There was an uproar in the Conference Hall, everyone was whispering, and the atmosphere was unspeakable. Some members of the Neferrutari royal family stared at the back of Saka more like needles. Back.
"This is just nonsense, Crocodile is the Guardian God of Alabasta!" Sarkar slammed the table.
"Your Majesty, we are not suspicious of Crocodile, we just think that maybe Crocodile knows something, maybe." The military official said intentionally.
Saka complexion is gloomy left the Conference Hall. He clearly noticed that some people were dissatisfied with him, and even took the opportunity to embarrass him by attacking him.
Looking down towards a faint green marking on the back of his hand, Saka was extremely depressed. He waved his hand to sign to follow his soldier to leave, and turned to the study.
The lights in the study are dim, the curtains are drawn, a burly silhouette is standing next to the bookshelf, the cigar with his lips is burning, and the fire star flickers.
The sunlight shining diagonally across the curtains dragged Crocodile's shadow on the ground. There was a slender silhouette standing in the shadow, wearing a sun hat on his head, and his entire face Hidden under the brim of the hat, Nico Robin took out a book from the shelf and flipped through it.
"People from the medical department reported that the toxins were absorbed into the rain and spread. Some people who originally suspected Cobra's death were insinuating in the Conference Hall." Sarkar stared at it. Crocodile said straight to the subject from the back.
"Do you want to ask about the rumors, or do you want to ask if the rain has anything to do with me?" Crocodile turned around, and the fire star of the cigar brightly reflected his indistinct face.
Youruo's substantive oppression made Saka's forehead a little sweaty, and he met the pair of Crocodile-like cold pupils, hoarsely said: "It's not that I want to know, but this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. , Otherwise, the throne under my butt will be unstable, and I don't want to be talked about by the trash from the medical department and become a puddle of green mud."
Crocodile squeezes out cigarette butts and cigars. Turned into fine dross suspended in his palm, "The fate of the overwhelming majority is as fragile as these floating dross. Any sudden rain can swallow them, but this heavy rain has nothing to do with me. Relationship."
"Who is that?" Saka asked from Gnashing Teeth.
"The Marine branch in Alabasta, the White Hunter Smoker, a Marine who was dazzled by anger." Crocodile sneered, his voice was bitterly cold: "And your niece, Vivi Her Highness the Princess , Of course, they are probably just being used as a tool by people with ulterior motives."
"Vivi is still alive, and even got together with Marine and made this poisonous rain, she It was act recklessly!" Saka frowned, looking at Crocodile a little annoyed: "Since you all know, why don't you get rid of them earlier?"
Crocodile complexion sank, his arrogance won't let him Explaining too much to a playing puppet, he did not take Smoker too seriously from the very beginning, but the reality is that the other party is more tricky than he expected, and there is another poisonous more dangerous thing hidden in the dark. snake, so Crocodile dare not act rashly.
Before solving Smoker, he must find a way to lure Yarlin out of the shadows. As long as Yarlin is solved, Smoker can't make any big waves.
At least, until now, Crocodile has always thought so.
But this poisonous rain completely exceeded Crocodile's expectations. Smoker was even more frenzied than he expected. He still didn't know that this poisonous rain was also a product outside of the Smoker plan.
"I'm here to solve the problem, not to listen to your complaints." Crocodile said gloomily: "In the Conference Hall, I have heard the Chief-In-Charge of the Medical Department. I will solve it. Yes, but before that, I need you to do some preparatory work for me."
Crocodile took out a file bag from his arms and threw it to Saka...
