Chapter 77 Robin
Chapter 77 Robin
"Why did Minos come to Alabasta?" Old Sha asked, full of questions.
Old Sha's words also brought Robin out of his reverie.
"We might have to go through Alabasta!" Robin said uncertainly.
Old Sha shook his head when he heard Black Robin's ridiculous guess: "He absolutely does not believe that Minos came to Alabasta just to pass through."
The gloomy office, filled with smoke, created a heavy atmosphere. Robin frowned deeply; she disliked this somber mood.
"Robin, why don't you go and investigate?" Old Sha said with a serious expression.
"Ok?"
Robin was puzzled when she heard Old Sandman tell her to make contact with Minos.
It's important to know that Crocdar generally doesn't want her to have contact with outsiders, let alone someone as powerful as Minos!
Old Sha looked at the puzzled Black Robin and said, "I believe you will make the right choice. Besides, do you think a powerful figure like Minos would even look at you?"
Crocodile's words were clearly meant to make Robin behave, and also to express his disdain for Robin.
Robin could hardly hide the paleness on his face when he heard Old Sand's blunt words.
Robin thought bitterly, "Yes! How could the Fifth Emperor Minos accept her? She's a child of disaster; wherever she goes, disaster follows."
Old Sha looked at the silent Robin with disdain: "A menace like you, who else but me would accept you?" (Reader: I would. (◣_◢))
But Robin is still useful now, Pluto hasn't been found yet, and the historical texts need her to decipher them.
Otherwise, he would have abandoned Robin long ago.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now!" Old Sha said without any politeness.
Robin walked out of the office, looking dejected, leaving behind Old Sha with a serious expression.
Old Sha knew very well that Minos could not possibly have come to the Kingdom of Alabasta just for the sake of passing through.
Unable to understand, Lao Sha took a deep drag of his cigarette and then exhaled.
Smoke swirled around his face, making the scars on his face appear and disappear.
“Minos, I hope you won’t ruin my plans, otherwise…” Old Sha said gravely.
……
Minos has been wandering around the city for most of the day. Well, overall it's been quite boring.
"Why don't we go and take a look at the capital of Alabasta? Hopefully, we can find something there."
This was something Minos suddenly thought of; he could no longer see any hope of gaining kill points in this city.
Without hesitation, Minos quickly headed towards the capital. As for the yacht and such, he could simply have the system take it.
Meanwhile, another group of uninvited guests arrived in Alabasta.
……
"Finally, we've arrived in Alabasta! These past few days have been exhausting," Kizaru said, pouting with a disgruntled expression.
"Uh, do you want to read what you're saying? Any dangers that have occurred at sea these past few days have been handled by me and Onigumo."
"You were lying on the chair and didn't help, and now you're saying this? Do you have any shame?" Cha-tun roared inwardly.
Not only does Chaton dislike Kizaru, but even Onigumo dislikes him. These past few days, he and Chaton have been the most exhausted, handling everything from encountering Sea Kings to ship-related problems.
What's most infuriating is that Kizaru sometimes lies in a chair trimming his nails and drinking tea, while telling them to work harder?
Just imagine, who wouldn't be furious! If he could beat Kizaru, he would definitely go up and slap him twice.
Kizaru, completely unconcerned about the two angry men, even joked, "I'm training you two! Maybe with a little effort you'll even get the rank of Admiral!"
"Damn it. Do you even want to hear the nonsense you're spouting? How can you make being lazy sound so respectable?" Tea Pig cursed inwardly.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Kizaru suddenly became serious, which made Chaton and Onigumo very uncomfortable.
"Breaking news, it seems Minos has arrived in Alabasta!" Kizaru said gravely.
"According to our scouts, Minos is indeed in the Kingdom of Alabasta," Chaton said gravely.
Tea Pig's words immediately made the atmosphere heavy; they knew clearly what they were about to face.
Kizaru wasn't too afraid; even if he couldn't win, he could retreat immediately. Besides, he was incredibly fast and had no fear of being caught by Minos.
But Onigumo and Chaton are different; one is an elite vice admiral, and the other is a near-admiral. If real danger arises, it will be difficult for them to escape from Minos.
Kizaru looked at the two serious-looking people and said, "Don't worry! I will protect you."
Uh, Onigumo and Chaton exchanged a glance and thought to themselves, "If only you were really that reliable."
Seeing the disbelieving looks in their eyes, Kizaru sighed helplessly: "Am I, Kizaru, really that unreliable?"
"Then let's split up! I'll search by myself, and you two take the others to search," Kizaru suggested.
Such a large kingdom, if we don't search it separately, how long will it take to find it?
Onigumo and Chaton nodded helplessly. They really had to split up to search, otherwise they really wouldn't find it.
And so, the navy arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
……
On his way to the capital, Minos passed through deserts and towns, and finally arrived at the capital of Alabasta.
Minos gazed at the rain-soaked capital city and fell into deep thought.
"If he remembers correctly, the fact that it only rained in the capital was probably Old Sand's scheme!"
Minos thought about it for a moment, and realized that it didn't seem to concern him, so why bother thinking about it?
Just as Minos was about to continue walking, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him.
Minos looked closely and finally remembered who she was.
With purple clothes, black skin, and being a woman, there must be only one like her in the world of One Piece!
That's Robin.
Minos noticed that Robin seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, which made him a little suspicious.
Minos approached Robin, looked her up and down, and chuckled as he said, "Were you waiting for me on purpose, Nico Robin?"
Robin could feel her heart pounding; Minos actually knew her identity.
Minos stared intently at her: "Speak! What brings you here?"
Robin tried to control her emotions and smiled slightly: "So the Fifth Emperor Minos is so boring? Doesn't he know how to cherish women?"
Minos looked at the dark-skinned Robin in front of him and was speechless: "As expected of the cunning Robin!"
"Did the Sand Crocodile send you?" Minos asked coldly.
Robin's face stiffened; he hadn't expected Minos to know so much.
Not only did they know her true identity, but they also knew that she was backed by Crocdar.
Robin smiled gently: "Lord Minos is right, Crocodile sent me."
Minos snorted coldly: "That guy Sand Crocodile's intelligence is really something else. I probably got discovered as soon as I arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta!"
Robin praised, "As expected of Lord Minos, you know everything."
Minos frowned slightly: "Forget the pleasantries, just tell me directly why Crocodile sent you to contact me."
Robin smiled slightly: "The leader mainly wanted to find out your whereabouts and purpose, nothing else."
Minos, upon hearing Robin's words, retorted confidently, "What I do shouldn't have anything to do with Crocodile!"
……
P.S.: So tired! ╥﹏╥
