"Damn, damn, damn. How about using this to test the Crew Members?"
"Can the Crew members withstand such a test?, is Vivi directly planning to face Crocodile?"
"But this seems a bit irrational. After all, with my help, even if we die together, she doesn't need to do it alone."
Ron was taken aback in his heart; he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Vivi's operation this time didn't escape Ron's notice. He initially thought Vivi had turned to Luffy for help, but he didn't expect her to have her eyes on him. It was truly hidden.
"Well, why are you looking for me?" Ron stared blankly at Vivi in front of him. It just felt a bit strange since everyone else on the boat had already agreed to help Vivi. It was peculiar to find her looking for him now.
"I know you're the 'Thunder Monarch' with a bounty of seventy-eight million Berries," Vivi said. "If it were you, could you defeat Crocodile?" Vivi expressed disbelief that Luffy and the others could defeat Crocodile, though she didn't know what the original plot was like. But now, she had a better option in front of her, especially with her father's life at stake, and under that guy's prophecy, it seemed he would be killed by the World Government. Vivi was a bit flustered; if her father died, what should she do? What about Alabasta? Would it just fall into the clutches of the World Government?
"Did you recognize me? I didn't expect my reputation to be so big," Ron chuckled. "But my needs are different from the others." Ron scratched his head, wondering if it was necessary to have such a high bounty on his head. He was just a pirate who had recently set sail. Was such a high bounty necessary? It seemed like the whole world knew his name, which filled Ron with a certain pride. After all, he was famous in the world. If the World Government mentioned Logia fruit ability users again, it was estimated that many forces would come to trouble him, even planning to recruit him.
"I will give my all to save Alabasta once and for all," Vivi continued, her face blushing. She hesitated to say more; it felt like the man in front of her looked like a beast. His constant glances at her face, neckline, and shorts-clad thighs made Vivi, who was standing there, a little uncomfortable.
"Damn, are you going to do this? I didn't do anything."
"This is Vivi's way of putting a knife to my throat, forcing me to agree."
"In this case, Nami probably won't be able to say anything."
"I can only accept Vivi wholeheartedly."
"Very well, Mrs. Vivi, I will help you."
"You've already discussed this, and I don't have to be a villain."
"Just being a good person in front of you is enough."
Ron looked at Vivi with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. Meanwhile, Nami was wandering around, and several times, Robin's wife extended her legs in front of him. It was clear that Ron's attention was divided.
Nami, who had arrived at the lighthouse, was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Vivi to succeed in her mission so quickly, and she couldn't find any faults. She felt powerless to intervene.
"Youth is full of vitality," Nico Robin pondered. As for herself, she had no idea. She had been willing to offer benefits on numerous occasions, even though she didn't take herself seriously. She felt she had missed opportunities.
"This sneaky little thief," Nami's face darkened. The situation with the Devil Fruit was slipping out of her hands. Ron had been convinced first, and she never expected to be deceived one day.
"Nami: What a clever trick; I have to admire it!"
"Vivi: Miss Nami, after all, it's about the survival of Alabasta, so I can't afford to be careless. Furthermore, it's related to my father's affairs, so I'm willing to give everything. Please don't blame me, Miss Nami."
"Nami: ..."
Nami immediately covered her forehead. She knew that Ron could save the village, and she had been willing to sacrifice everything at one point. Whatever it was, it was enough to impress Ron. And what Vivi was doing now, wasn't it similar to her? Nami couldn't judge such matters well. She could only choose to let Vivi go on her own.
"It seems I missed something," Nico Robin realized, as she hadn't been included in their group chat. She understood Nami's importance in convincing Ron.
"Yes, it looks like we'll have to go to Alabasta next," Nami said, changing the subject. "By the way, weren't you originally from Alabasta? Weren't you a member of Crocodile organization?"
Robin had already revealed her identity before, and Nami knew about her past affiliations. The mention of Crocodile sent shivers down Nami's spine. After all, he was a legendary Shichibukai, and powerful.
Nico Robin provided a brief introduction, emphasizing Crocodile's power and his involvement in Alabasta's events. To be honest, Nico Robin found it a bit hard to judge, as she hadn't seen much of Crocodile. But if that man was involved, it would be a dire situation. She had once seen Crocodile effortlessly crush a person with one hand, and that person had turned into sand instantly. Such a method was likely a result of the Crocodile Fruit's ability.
"Hawkeye Mihawk?" Nami's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Yes! Crocodile is on par with Mihawk in terms of power. He possesses the same terrifying strength; you could say they're on the same level," Nico Robin nodded.
"Robin is wrong about something Crocodile and Mihawk may be Shichibukais but they are not at the same level of strength"
"In fact Crocodile is at the bottom of the scale, along with Gecko Moria, these two, despite having been pirates of the new world, no longer have access to Haki due to their humiliating defeats"
At this point, Zoro walked over slowly, with a sharp and murderous look in his eyes. He had been eavesdropping on the conversation.
Surprisingly, this Crocodile was on par with Hawkeye, and it sounded like his strength was not to be underestimated. Such an opponent...
A murderous look flashed in Zoro's eyes. He had already witnessed Hawkeye's strength and the power of the world's number one swordsman, and now he wanted to see what other formidable opponents were like. He intended to challenge him.
"Yes, but if you're thinking of challenging him, I'd advise against it," Nico Robin cautioned. "This man can easily whip up sandstorms, turning an oasis into a desert. You'd be better off not entertaining such thoughts and focusing on training diligently. Otherwise, you'd likely end up slashed across the chest. Your injury from last time hasn't fully healed, so don't take unnecessary risks."
Robin glanced at Zoro and immediately understood his intentions. The people on this ship were truly unafraid of death. She hadn't expected this kind of situation, with someone planning to rush into a fight. If others learned of the Shichibukai Crocodile, they would probably turn and run. However, this pirate group was the only one with such determination. They seemed to have found an intriguing opponent. Was this the path to the One Piece? Nico Robin couldn't help but wonder if such nonsense could lead this ship to become the Pirate King.
"Hmph! I'll become stronger," Zoro declared, his face dark. He hadn't expected Ron to speak so bluntly, reminding him of his past injuries. Speaking of it now, Zoro felt the dull pain from his abdominal injury. If it hadn't been mentioned, he might have forgotten about it.
"I won't let myself be defeated like last time," Zoro sat down and began practicing Armament Haki. He intended to master it before reaching Alabasta to avoid being rendered helpless in the face of adversity. In such a situation, it would be up to Luffy and Ron to handle things. This situation was even worse than death.
Nami watched Zoro's shadow as he left, her mouth twitching with a wry smile. It was as she thought; Robin had that effect on Zoro.
"Let's ask Ron for more information later; he should have more clues he hasn't shared. The two of them seemed to understand each other and nodded in agreement."
