It was as if she could hear that Basire's tone had changed slightly from before, becoming a little more indifferent, which made Nico Robin calm down quickly.
Thinking back to Basire before, he said something like "Robin-chan" and said that he likes her in the future and looks forward to meeting her.
Now, why did he change his tone?
"So you're going to deal with Crocodile?"
Nico Robin regained her calm voice. Now that Basire knows the identities of her and Sand Crocodile, and now dares to forcibly recruit the cadres and members of Baroque Works, it's clear that he wants to take action against Crocodile.
Does this newcomer really not know the terrifying power of the Shichibukai?
In other words, does Basire, who has a bounty of a hundred millions, think that Sand Crocodile really only has the strength comparable to a pirate of 81 million Beris in bounty?
This bounty was the amount of the wanted order from a long time ago. After Crocodile became a Shichibukai, this bounty has been frozen.
"What the Sand Crocodile is looking for is not in Alabasta at all. When you lose your use value, he will kill you without hesitation."
Basire reminded casually, looking at the fierce battle between the Big Daddy Pirates and the two giant warriors.
The strength of these two giant pirate captains is really not as weak as in the original work, and they also suffered a huge loss from appearing too early in the series.
You must know that almost a hundred years ago, their bounty was already a hundred millions, and the Sand Crocodile's bounty more than 20 years ago was 81 million beris.
As a result, two years after the summit war, the bounty on Crocodile soared to 1.965 billion beris, achieving a qualitative leap.
Maybe it's not just a leap, it's like reaching the sky in one f**king step.
This bounty is higher than all the cadres of the Four Emperors pirate groups, which completely reduces them to the background.
Jinbei also experienced two battles against Yonkō, namely the Cake Island incident and the Wano Country battle, before slowly rising to 1.1 billion beris.
What big things did Sand Crocodile do in those two years to get such a bounty?
Is it more exaggerated than the battle against Kaido?
This also makes Basire's assessment of Crocodile's strength full of uncertainty.
If Luffy's trick doesn't work at all, then wouldn't Basire be committing suicide?
Therefore, it is necessary for him to lure Crocodile out of Alabasta to test his true strength without the territory advantage.
And now Robin, the Baroque Works vice president, seems to be a good choice for such a task.
If Nico Robin can be persuaded to end her cooperation with Crocodile early and join the Big Daddy Pirates, then Basire can trick the Shichibukai into fighting at a specific location.
···
Robin frowned again when she heard Basire's reminder.
Does Basire really know the location and content of Alabasta's historical text?
Robin doesn't know what Basire's real intention is. Is it just to drive a wedge between her and Crocodile?
"So what?"
However, she pretended to be confused and wanted to see what he meant first.
"You can't get the historical text you want by following Crocodile. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can tell you the whereabouts of one or two pieces of historical text, and even the general content."
"If you want to board my ship, I will accept you, and I will hand over the historical text information that is useless to me as a gift for joining the crew."
Basire said as he watched Zoro being launched away by Dorry again, but he also left some wounds on Dorry.
Under Eldoraggo's sonic cannon and Eric's wind blade, Dorry and Brogy centuries-old dilapidated shields were finally slowly broken to pieces.
Even their giant sword and ax showed signs of being overwhelmed, and more cracks began to appear on them.
This made the two giants feel a little distressed. They would rather be injured than see their weapons destroyed.
However, the strength of the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates has been initially recognized by the two Elbaf warriors.
"You want me to betray Sand Crocodile? Are you sure you can defeat him?"
Nico Robin smiled lightly. Although she was very interested in the historical text information from Basire, it was a bit arrogant for a mere newcomer to want her to give up a Shichibukai-level partner.
"You only need to tell him that I have recruited several of his people including Mr3, and that I will pass by Nanimonai Island near Alabasta in about a week."
"As for whether he comes to take revenge on me, a newcomer, that depends on his own decision. You are just reporting information, right?"
Basire casually mentioned the name of an island near Alabasta. If possible, a fight with Crocodile on another island would be a good choice to test his strength.
It would be better if they met directly on the sea and started fighting there.
"Aren't you afraid that I will help Crocodile to ambush you?"
Nico Robin also became a little interested in Basire's suggestion. She knew Crocodile's character very well. If she helped him translate the historical text, he would most likely kill her right after, but she also prepared many escape plans.
"That's fine, I just want to have a fight with Crocodile. As for you and the entire Baroque Works coming together, it doesn't matter, even if I include you, the smart devil lady."
Basire chuckled, now Crocodile's men are all kittens and puppies, even Mr1, a user with the Dice-Dice Fruit ability, may not be able to beat the current Zoro.
Besides, there are so many cadres on board the Big Daddy Pirates.
"What a confident guy, I hope you can show up on that island on time."
"But now, I wonder if you can pay a small deposit and tell me about the whereabouts of the historical text in Alabasta?"
She wanted to see if this guy really knew the whereabouts of the historical text.
Otherwise, if Crocodile finds out about her little tricks, even if she escapes from him, she has to get something valuable first.
"Happy cooperation, Nico Robin, the Flower Fruit user. The historical text is in the royal tomb of the Nefertari family. But it contains the whereabouts of something, not the Void Century history you want."
Basire showed a satisfied smile. With the help of Nico Robin, he could lead Crocodile out of Alabasta, his desert lair.
Not only can it remove the power increase in Sand Fruit caused by the desert environment, but it can also prevent Crocodile from escaping into the desert and leaving.
He wondered if his barrier ball could trap the Logia Devil fruit user inside.
If he had managed to trap all the elemental matter without giving him a chance, would he be able to kill the Logia user bit by bit?
