"Okay!! I'll learn!" If it was before, Luffy might consider it
After all, if he is ordered to be hunted down by the World Government, he also has to consider his grandpa's feelings...
But now... have been inexplicably has a bounty of 50 million Belly, so what's the difference between being hunted down by the world's government???
At this time, Robin said again: "But I have one condition... If you promise me, I will really teach you "
Luffy shrugged his shoulders: "Well, let's talk about it first, what is the condition?"
"According to Crocodile's information..., there is a Poneglyph under the funeral hall in the Alabasta royal garden!! I want to translate this Poneglyph!"
Robin stated his conditions
"this..."
What is the Funeral Hall?
To put it bluntly, it's the family's ancestral grave!!
And it's the royal family's ancestral tomb, can he really came in and out ?
Robin continued: "You can ask the little princess in Alabasta for help"
Little Princess...
Luffy thought for a while, then realized that what Robin said is Princess Vivi
Luffy defeat Crocodile, which is a big credit to the whole Alabasta!
And it was Princess Vivi who asked Luffy for help on this matter...
So, if Luffy brings this matter up to Princess Vivi, the other party should have a high probability of accepting it
seems to work...
"I can try..., but..., I can't contact her now..., I can't go to the gate of the palace and say, hello, let me meet your princess"
Puff
Listening to the scene described by Luffy, Robin was amused.
Then, she smiled: "Don't worry about this, I can contact her"
Looking at Crocodile who died on the ground, Robin said: "Now Crocodile just died, and no one in Baroque Works knows about it. As long as I use Crocodile method to issue instructions, I can contact ms Wednesday."
"Okay, then you can contact her!"
Luffy nodded, then thought of something, and said: "Wait!! In addition to this, you send another order, so that the other agents of the Baroque Work camecan come here."
"Are you going to wipe them all out??" Robin said in shock.
"Yeah! They're worth a lot of money to make!" Luffy said solemnly.
"!!!"
the next day...
The senior agent of the Baroque Work Agency was taken away
The Merry docked at the wild port of the island where the 19th branch of the Marine is located
"What are we waiting for here? Didn't you say that you want to exchange them for a bounty?
Seeing that Luffy and others are actually docking here, Robin is very surprised.
"Wait for time..."
Robin looks dazed...
The night is slowly falling
The mirror-like moon hangs in the sky, pouring the brilliance as clear as flowing water onto the vast sea
"Well, the moon is a little bright today, but it doesn't hinder us from doing things!"
Luffy looked up at the sky, then stretched out his hand and made a tactical gesture forward, immediately jumped onto the island first, and got into the grove.
Buggy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp follow!
"Ah?"
Looking at this scene, Robin opened his red lips in astonishment. He looked at the senior agents who had fainted in the shackles of the seawater barrel, and looked at Nami suspiciously, "What are they going to do? Why didn't they carry the prisoner???"
Nami smiled: "Hee hee, you'll know later"
after awhile.….
When the five thugs rushed out from the woods, Robin opened her mouth wide in shock.
Under Robin's stunned gaze, Luffy commanded, and the others came in groups of two and picked up the poles...
Several seawater wooden barrel shackles are hung on each pole.
The moonlight opened the way, and the five gangsters went straight to the nineteenth branch of the Marine!
By the time they came back, those senior agents were gone, and they only brought a bag of 232 million Belly
"You...err...that's how you exchange the bounty? Robin understood it, but she was still shocked...!!
"It wasn't originally, but then there was a little accident, so we need to improvise" Luffy laughed, and then took everyone to count the money
Marine 19th Branch
"AiyoAiyo"
"It hurts!"
"What the hell! My legs and arms are swollen in five places, and you are only swollen in one place. Why are you yelling!!"
"Damn it!! I was only swollen in one place! But those guys, I don't know what kind of hatred that person has with me, such a thick wooden stick slapped my butt in the same place more than ten times!! Ouch, Ouch"
Just as the Marine soldiers were wailing, the financial officer with a bruised nose and a swollen face ran over: "Captain, we found out that a total of 232 million Belly were taken away!! The people in the barrel at the door also found out that they all have bounties. Their total bounty is exactly 232 million Belly!"
"Can there be such a coincidence???"
The Marine Captain rubbed half of his swollen face and asked in doubt.
"Captain, why don't we report to our superiors that someone brought wanted criminals in exchange for a reward of 232 million Belly? This way the superiors won't know that our base has been raided" the financial officer said in a low voice.
The Captain thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up!!
He raised his hand: "No!! You report it like this!! Just say that this group of gangsters attacked Marine Headquarters at night. I led everyone to resist bravely, and finally arrested most of them, but five accomplices escaped with 332 million Belly"
"Captain, it's 232 million Belly!" the treasurer corrected.
"Um?"
Hearing this, the Captain's face changed, and he poked the financial officer's forehead with his index finger: "Are you so stupid? You obviously lost 332 million Belly! "
The financial officer finally came to his senses: "Ah..., that's right!! It's 332 million Belly, and there are only a few million Belly left in the entire treasury... These bastards, damn it!"
Sengoku: "Damn it!!! When the screen is over, I need to check this Captain to see if he has done this kind of operation before!!"
Gol·D·Roger: "Haha!!! Of course he did, most Marine are corrupt"
Shiki: "I'm dying of laughter!! This Captain not only got a beating, but he was able to get 100 million Berries for himself immediately from this incident, and then he won the great credit for arresting all the senior agents of the entire Baroque Works!!! What talent in the Marine!!!"
Buckingham Stussy: "Sengoku, he has made such a great contribution, why can't you promote him to be a Commodore???"
Charlotte Linlin: "Mamamamama!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurararara "
Zephyr: "A mockery of a Marine he is!!"
Back to Alabasta, contact Princess Vivi
Princess Vivi brought Luffy and his party into the palace
Luffy and his party are hosted by King Cobra himself with the highest royal banquet.
"Mr. Luffy, if Vivi hadn't told me the truth, I would still be in the dark!"
Cobra raises his glass to toast Luffy
Before he was still wondering why it suddenly started raining all over the country...
He asked the palace guards to investigate this matter, but found nothing
It wasn't until Princess Vivi returned to the palace and told him the matter that he realized that there was a noble person to help!
"Well, you're welcome! It's also related to Vivi, otherwise...we're already on another island."
Luffy is not hypocritical, he eats meat and drinks in big bowls
The banquet is very festive.
Vivi also took the initiative to drink wine with Nami, both of them drank peach red and willow green
Sanji hugged four or five maids, and while eating the delicious food that the maids stuffed into his mouth, he sprayed nosebleeds, and might even die from it, if Chopper did not help
During this period, Bell, the captain of the palace guard, came to Cobra several times. Cobra apologized to Luffy very politely, and then went to the door to listen to Bell.
The distance from the banquet table to the door of the banquet hall is very long, and the two of them are standing outside the door, even Observation Haki cannot hear what they are talking about.
However, this does not include Luffy!!
Luffy's Observation Haki clearly heard the conversation between Cobra and Bell
Probably the content is...
Because Alabasta started to rain again, people celebrate everywhere!!! Many people hope that their patron saint, Mr. Sand Crocodile, can dedicate himself to celebrate with them!!
But Crocodile disappeared for several days and never showed up. Many "die-hard fans" began to worry about whether Crocodile was in danger, and someone called Marine.
Marine Headquarters contacted Crocodile, but failed to connect...
So, Marine contacted Alabasta's royal family and asked them to help pay attention to Crocodile's movements
And, Marine Headquarters said that if Crocodile has not been found, the headquarters will send someone to investigate this matter in person!!
After talking with Bell, Cobra came back to the banquet again
He didn't mention this to Luffy and the other
This matter, Luffy didn't ask much.
"Mr. Luffy!!! On behalf of the people of the entire Alabasta, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you and your partners!!! If you have any requests and needs, just mention it to me!!"
As a king, Cobra must express his sincerity to Luffy
How can it be just a banquet?
However, the tax revenue of the Alabasta royal family is not high, and because of the drought in the past two years, Cobra allocated funds for disaster relief everywhere, resulting in the treasury running out of money
Otherwise..., Cobra will directly throw out 1 billion Belly to thank Luffy right now!
Instead of waiting anxiously for Luffy to speak
Luffy thought about it, then smiled: "Actually, I learned about it through Vivi, your royal family's treasury is also tight now. But since you have spoken, maybe 200 million!! Just take it as compensation for me"
200 million Belly is actually quite a figure for the current Alabasta royal family, but by tightening their belts, the money can still be squeezed out...
"Okay! In addition to 200 million Belly, you should also bring more wine and ingredients from the palace"
A few days later
Merry is docked at the wild port of Nanohana
Except for Luffy, everyone is on board
Nanohana, Downtown!!
On the dome of the tallest building
A figure appears here...
"Look!! There is someone there!! It's patron saint, Mr. Crocodile!"
"Is Master Crocodile back?"
"No! No!! He's not Mr. Crocodile!! He's the big pirate Monkey D. Luffy with a bounty of 50 million Belly!"
"I remember him!! He fought with Mr. Crocodile and defeated Mr. Crocodile!"
"Look, what is he holding in his hand?"
"I can't see clearly!"
Soon, there will be a large crowd gathered here, and there will be many Marines who come to investigate the disappearance of the crocodile
Luffy is standing on the dome, looking down
His hand is holding the head of Crocodile
Although so many days have passed, under the ability of Nami's Smooth Smooth Fruit, Crocodile's head is still lifelike
Crocodile was killed by him, so no matter how Cobra explains it to Marine, it will definitely not make sense!
As for revealing the truth about Crocodile's crimes and dancing powder to the common people?
Don't even think about it!
People only believe what they see with their own eyes!!
Including Luffy himself as well...
When he met Crocodile for the first time, he thought Crocodile was a "model worker" serving the people...
Combined with the previous "Dancing Powder", if Cobra wants to reveal the truth to the people, he will only be considered to be framing Crocodile in the end
Many people even think that Cobra must be jealous of Crocodile's reputation in the hearts of the people, so he framed the patron saint of the people of Alabasta
Of course..., these civilians cannot be blamed too much for this. After all, their strength and vision determine that they cannot see the truth clearly.
Now that Luffy is standing here, he intends to end it!
Crocodile was killed by him, so he intends to let more people know.
However, in this way, the dead Crocodile will still be a good guy, and he, Luffy, is confirmed as the 'big villain'
"It doesn't matter, I have already been offered a reward of 50 million, why don't I let my reward be raised!"
Shaking his head slightly, Luffy looked at the crowd below, and threw Crocodile's head casually
