Pirate's Swordsman

"That is……"

The moment he saw the figure clearly, the smile on Crocodile's face suddenly froze.

His pupils shrank instantly, and his heart was shaken, full of disbelief.

How did this guy appear here?

But at this time?

"Long time no see, Crocodile."

Xia Nuo walked slowly to the front, sat casually on the carriage, smiled at him and said: "Why, you look very surprised, didn't expect me to come to you?"

"I didn't expect that the four dignified emperors would actually have time to come to the paradise."

Crocodile suppressed the fear in his heart, stared at Xia Nuo, snorted coldly and said:

"If I remember correctly, your relationship with Kaido the Beast has always been tense. When you come here, aren't you worried about your territory being attacked?"

"He has been hiding for two years. If you have the courage to take the initiative, you can give it a try."

Xia Nuo's tone was careless, and there was still a smile on his face, but when these words fell in Crocodile's ears, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

After more than two years, how terrifying has this guy's strength reached?

Actually, even Kaido, the Four Emperors of the Hundred Beasts, has been completely ignored by the other party...

"What on earth do you want to do with me?"

From the corner of his eye, Crocodile noticed that many people had begun to point curiously at this direction. He frowned and lowered his voice:

"I have something serious to do now. If you want to discuss something with me, how about we discuss it in the afternoon?"

"Don't worry, it will be quick and won't waste your time."

Xia Nuo smiled slightly: "I came here just to ask for someone from you. As long as you cooperate and give her to me, I won't bother to care about whatever bad things you do here."

"Who?"

Crocodile asked subconsciously.

"Nicole Robin."

Xia Nuo paused, looking at Crocodile's sudden change in expression, and then continued leisurely, "This is her real name, right? If you use the code name under your hand, it should be called Miss. All Sunday."

"Is this the intelligence ability of the Four Emperors?"

Crocodile lit a cigar and took a deep breath. His face returned to calm, and he said in a cold tone:

"You even know her real name, which she almost never reveals to anyone. It seems that you have already found out about her origins."

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be here."

Xia Nuo smiled and said: "Okay, no more nonsense. You are a smart person and you should know what I need her to do. Now you just need to contact me and call her over."

"What if I refuse?"

Crocodile's eyes turned cold, and he stared at Xia Nuo and said in a low voice: "Nicole Robin is very important to me. Don't you think it's a little too naive for me to hand him over to you so easily?"

"Aren't you naive?"

Xia Nuo looked at Crocodile strangely, "You don't think I'm discussing with you, do you? Sand Crocodile, this is an order, an order that cannot be refused. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Order?"

Crocodile laughed angrily. Just when he was about to sneer, he suddenly thought of something and frowned. A trace of gloom flashed in the corner of his eyes, swirling.

He snorted coldly and nodded in agreement:

"Forget it, at a time like this today, in public, I don't want to have any dispute with you. I'll just call Robin for you. But this is a temporary loan at most. When you use it up, you have to return her. Just come back."

In his words, he seemed to regard Robin as an object to be manipulated wantonly. Xia Nuo looked at Crocodile with interest, and after a while he nodded with a chuckle:

"can."

"Hold on."

Crocodile showed an expression of relief, and immediately took out a phone bug from his arms. After dialing, a thin man's voice came from over there:

"Hey, BOSS, are you looking for me?"

"Not looking for you."

Crocodile frowned and said in a low voice: "What I'm looking for is Miss. All Sunday. She's in the capital now, right? I'll give you five minutes to ask her to come to see me on the Central Avenue."

"Looking for Miss. All Sunday?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with doubts, "But boss, if you want to find her, why do you have to go through me directly..."

Snapped.

Before the man finished speaking, Crocodile hung up the phone impatiently, then raised his head and said to Xia Nuo in front of him:

"She is in the royal capital, but it will take some time to get here. How about we wait while we walk?"

"No need to go, just stop here and wait."

Xia Nuo glanced at the phone bug that was hung up in a hurry, then glanced at Crocodile meaningfully, and chuckled:

"When Nico Robin arrives, I will naturally take him away without taking up much of your time."

"Humph."

Crocodile was a little frightened by his gaze, but his face remained calm and he snorted coldly:

"That's the best."

The two of them just stood there quietly waiting, and neither of them spoke any more.

The people on both sides who had been waiting on both sides to welcome him also completely realized that something was wrong and began to gather in groups and whisper.

"Hey, what's going on? Who is that guy blocking the road?"

A tall and thin young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old looked at Xia Nuo's figure from a distance and couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Why does it seem that even Lord Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, is a little afraid?" What about him?"

"Huh? You don't know that person?"

An older, fat man next to him carefully looked at the direction of the carriage, then turned his head and lowered his voice to explain:

"That guy is like an emperor, one of the four emperors who reigns over the second half of the Grand Line. The bounty on his head is as high as forty-seven beli, the legendary pirate, the Storm Swordsman Xiano!"

"One of the four... four emperors?"

The tall and thin young man was stunned. A vague impression was evoked in his mind, and he couldn't help but scream:

"How come such an incredible big shot comes to Albana? Is he here to trouble Lord Crocodile?"

"It's hard to say, but from a standpoint, Lord Crocodile, as a Shichibukai, is indeed in a hostile camp with that guy."

The older, pudgy man frowned tightly and said worriedly:

"I hope there won't be any conflict. Otherwise, today's siege against the tyrant in the palace will be completely ruined. Maybe even Lord Crocodile himself will be in danger..."
