My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 214 Kuromi being hypnotized

"Forget it, just run away. The most important thing now is..."

Annan raised his hand and waved, "Cuff Crocodile."

Several marines walked over holding iron chains.

"No, what are you doing with the iron chains? Where are the sea-floor stone handcuffs?"

Annan looked at the chain and frowned.

For a pirate of Crocodile's level, there is no difference between binding him with chains and letting him go home.

"Major Annan, there are many people with fruit abilities among the members of the Baroque Working Group. The number of Sea Tower Stone handcuffs we carry is limited and has been used up."

The leading navy looked embarrassed.

"It's not that it's used up, but it's not that it's gone. What kind of grade do those weaklings deserve to use sea-floor stone handcuffs?"

Annan curled his lips and pointed at Crocodile, "This is the former Shichibukai. It is more dangerous than those pirates. Go, take a few off and cuff them for him."

"Yes!"

Several marines nodded, hugged the chains and walked back.

"Wait a minute, don't waste the iron chain, tie him up first." Annan said, "Although there isn't one, he looks more at ease."

"I remember that there are many seastone handcuffs and seastone chains on the Ice and Fire Man. They can send people to deliver them." Crowe added at the side.

"Yes, Kuromi made a large piece of sea rock and put it on the ship for research."

Annan pointed to his forehead and turned on the phone.

"Polo, Polo, Polo..."

"Moxi Moxi, this is the Ice and Fire Man." The phone was connected, and the person who answered the phone was a navy man.

"Hello, this is Annan, where is Kuromi? Ask her to answer the phone."

"Ah, it's Major Annan, but Dr. Kuromi...has something going on right now, which is not convenient." Could it be that the person on the phone was artificial.

"What happened? Did she blow up the Ice and Fire Man while doing scientific research?"

"It's more serious than this. Esdeath said she was crazy and wanted to rebel."

"I have made contributions to the navy! I have sweated for the Ice and Fire Man! You can't do this to me! I want to see Annan! I want to see Annan!!"

Kuromi's scream suddenly came from the phone.

"Ah..." Annan's mouth twitched, "Since Esdeath is on the ship, give her the phone."

"Yes!"

After a while, a dull conversation came from the phone: "Annan, is the matter with Crocodile over?"

"more or less."

Annan glanced at Crocodile who had woken up slowly, grabbed the rifle in the navy's hand, and knocked him unconscious with the butt of the rifle.

After returning the rifle to the navy, Annan continued to speak to the phone bug:

"I don't have enough sea-floor stone handcuffs here. Why don't you send someone to bring more sets? If there are less, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain him."

"The Ice and Fire Man still has some, but well, I was also attacked here, so I don't have enough manpower."

Esdeath pondered for a moment, "Tina just sent a message saying that her ship is coming soon. Why don't you bring someone to escort Crocodile to my place first. By the way, let me see what happened to Kurome." thing."

"Okay, but what's wrong with Kuromi? Are you really going to rebel?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

The sky was slowly covered by dark clouds, looking dark and gloomy, and within a few minutes, heavy rain fell.

Annan asked Crowe to summon the navy to escort the arrested members of the Baroque Working Society back to the Ice and Fire Man, while Dasqi took over the subsequent arrest of Albana.

"All this rain."

Annan put on his raincoat and reached out to catch a few drops of rainwater. "Smog still has two brushes."

Readers in previous lives have many speculations about the heavy rain in Alabasta. For example, most people agree that Crocodile worshiped the sky, and some people think that Smoker used dancing powder.

Of course, Annan felt that these speculations were not completely correct. After all, the heavy rain covering the whole country was difficult to handle manually.

However, there is no point in discussing these here.

Heavy rain poured down, and those who were still unconscious also woke up. Feeling the long-awaited rain, whether it was the king's army or the rebel army, these people who were fighting each other half an hour ago now all opened their arms and cheered the arrival of the rain.

"Colonel Smoker? Did he do this?" Dusky asked.

"Who knows, it's not me anyway."

Annan smiled and walked out of the city with the navy.

"I won't say a word until someone from NCIS comes."

In the interrogation room of the Ice and Fire Man, Kurome was locked in the interrogation chair and said with a serious face.

"Come on, I'll be lenient if I confess, and I'll be lenient if I resist. Just tell me when you betrayed the Navy!"

Annan was stunned and said, "You are so bold, Kuromi, why don't you recruit me from real sources!"

"I don't care. Even if Dr. Vegapunk came here in person, I didn't do anything!"

Kurome puffed her mouth and said angrily.

"Oh, you refuse to cooperate. It seems that this is no longer a simple rebellion. You must hit hard!" Annan said to Esdeath, who was sitting on the chair.

"You are the one who rebelled! Wuwuwu...you all bully me..."

"How dare you! You dare to bite me back, you are so stubborn!"

"Okay, stop teasing her, she's made to cry by you." Esdeath held her cheek with the back of her hand and said to Crowe who was standing at the door:

"Have you checked the surveillance? Did you find anything suspicious?"

"It's a bit suspicious." Crowe pushed up his glasses, "After my observation, when Kuromi controlled the weapons on the Ice Fire Man to attack you, his movements were very... twisted. He didn't look like a human, but more like A puppet being manipulated.”

"I understand what you mean. She is being controlled, right?" Esdeath suddenly became interested. "Are there any people in the Blackbeard Pirates who have the ability to control fruit? No, otherwise they would Why don’t you control me?”

"It probably has no effect on you." Annan added at the side, "You are too domineering, and the fruit ability has no effect on you."

"Well, we don't rule out this possibility." Esdeath nodded, "Then what should we do now? We can't keep her locked up, but if she is released, she may be controlled again."

"Well, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Crowe cleared his throat and continued, "If Kurome was simply being controlled to do such ridiculous things, it cannot explain her situation of telling lies while watching the surveillance. This should be someone in her subconscious. An idea was implanted in her that made her turn a blind eye to her behavior."

"I have seen this happen before. She was actually hypnotized. To be honest, I became a pirate... No, before I turned from darkness to light, my subordinate was a hypnotist named Zangao."

Crowe looked certain.

"Kulomi's symptoms are exactly the same as those of people who are hypnotized."
