One Piece: My Spirit

What Charles valued Robin was not only the intelligence network owned by the vice president of the Baroque Work Agency, but also the intelligence that Robin knew from his years of wandering in the underground world.

Charles vaguely had this idea when he found out that Robin appeared, he needed an intelligence source independent of the navy!

A source of information, and this is an important thing that Shire has always lacked!
Now Shire's only source of information is the Navy's intelligence network, but the Navy is a huge system, and if there is a heart, Shire's actions cannot be concealed from scrutiny, and the more channels of information sources, the higher the timeliness and accuracy of the intelligence.

And Robin himself is a very powerful intelligence officer, and he also has a good source of information, which is exactly what Shire needs, and he is the only person in existence who can understand the text of history. Although Shire is not very interested in the text of history, there is no harm in having one more hole card.

After listening to Shire's conditions, Robin fell into deep thought, as if thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

And when Charles saw that Robin was deep in thought, he knew that the other party was vaguely moved, but he still needed to increase his bargaining chips, so Charles continued: "I know what you are worried about. Since you have the handle in my hands, but the same is mine, isn't the handle also in your hands?"

Shire's words also reminded Robin that no matter what the reason was, Shire killed the members of CP, this is one of them.

The second is that Shire's cooperation with himself cannot be exposed. Both of them can be used as Robin's handle against Shire.

It seems that the balance between the two sides has returned to the same level again. Under this premise, it is not impossible for Robin to cooperate with the navy of Shire. Moreover, in the current situation, Crocodile is also a guy who hides his secrets, let alone completely trust himself. Cooperation with Shire may be a way out.

So Robin looked into Shire's eyes after careful consideration, and then picked up the glass of water in front of him and drank it.

Seeing this, Charles also smiled, and also drank the glass of water in his hand, and Charles and Robin seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement at this time.

The purpose of Shire's trip was to inquire about the information of the Baroque Works. He did not expect to have a relationship with Robin by accident, but this should be regarded as the completion of this goal, right?

Afterwards, Shire also clarified the purpose of his trip to Robin. After thinking about it, Robin still revealed that he was the vice president of Baroque Works, code-named Miss Sunday.

And just as Robin thought, Charles really continued to ask about the behind-the-scenes president of Baroque Works. Robin didn't want to reveal Crocodile's name so quickly, but Charles on the opposite side suddenly said "half jokingly":

"Wouldn't it be the 'National Hero'?"

Robin silently looked at Charles who was smiling across the face. She naturally knew who the "national hero" in Charles's mouth was referring to, but she was a little confused whether the man opposite at this time had guessed it "accidentally".

"How did you guess it? Or did you know it long ago?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was a man's intuition?"

For some reason, Robin hated the smiling man in front of him for some reason!Does this count as a response to my previous answer?interesting.
And Robin no longer entangled with it, and admitted that the behind-the-scenes president of the Baroque Work Club is Crocodile, who is now known as a 'national hero' and one of the 'King's Shichibukai'!

At the same time, Robin said that he obeyed Crocodile's orders as the messenger in the middle, thus remotely commanding the entire Baroque work agency. In the work agency, only Robin knew about this matter. Even the senior agents did not know that their behind-the-scenes big boss was the famous Crocodile.

Then Robin briefly talked about what Baroque Works, a criminal organization formed in the form of a company, was doing. Charles also asked some key points, such as the purpose of Crocodile, the progress of the "Utopia" project, etc., and Robin also truthfully told Charles about this part of the information.

"Crocodile is really a great and outstanding careerist, but unfortunately he is not a qualified leader. It is possible to plan things, but it is a bit difficult to achieve them."

In the end, Charles was a little bit moved by Crocodile's strategy. There are too many things to consider and layout to be able to plan the overall situation by himself. In the original plot, Crocodile has indeed achieved success only by the last step.

It was also the first time for Robin to hear someone comment on Crocodile like this, and at the same time, he seemed to feel that Charles' words were extremely sharp.

As Shire said, Crocodile is an outstanding careerist, but it is far from enough to achieve success!Because one of the biggest problems with Crocodile is the lack of power!And it is precisely because of his own character that caused the evil results.

What Crocodile lacks is the ability to really win people's hearts, because it can already be seen from the operation method and cruel social rules of the Baroque work club.

Crocodile only trusts itself!I have doubts about everyone, I am desperately wary of everyone, and I will never trust everyone!He only believes that only he will not betray himself!

This is not to say that he was wrong, but that Crocodile has already fallen into extremes. He is not intriguing with others, but intriguing with himself!

That's why Crocodile uses such high-pressure, terrifying, and ruthless methods to control and operate the Baroque Works.

Robin thought about it carefully, and combined with the two years of getting along, it was indeed almost a one-to-one correspondence as Charles said.

At the same time, Shire also gave a general account of what happened to him recently and the fact that CP may be closely related to some people in the underground world.

Although Robin already knew about this matter, she really didn't expect CP's actions to be so tough and bold. She thought she was just trying to "suspend Charles" for a period of time, but she didn't expect that she wanted to "suspend forever" as a navy in the end!
So Shire also took advantage of the opportunity to ask Robin another question, that is, whether the CP members who appeared in that town before were related to Baroque Studio, or Crocodile.

Robin shook his head and denied Shire's guess, because even Robin himself didn't know that there were members of CP hidden in this small town. If he knew the information, Robin would never come, and it would not lead to the current situation.

"Is it really a coincidence?"

Charles said to himself, but in his heart, he would rather believe that there was an insider story than that it was really just a coincidence, because coincidence means unpredictability, which is extremely bad for Charles.
