Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Hey Luffy!"

"Weiwei! And there's a duck!"

Not long after Luffy left the hotel, Vivi found him.

"Luffy, come up quickly, I know where Crocodile is now!"

"Oh!!! Then I'll leave it to you, Weiwei! Duck!"

-

Historical text.

It is an indestructible stone monument cast by the ancestors of the Kozuki clan in Wano Country during the blank 100 years.

And in the funeral hall west of the Alabasta Palace, there is a historical text.

It seems to record the location of the ancient weapon - Pluto.

This was the news Crocodile learned a few days ago.

I wanted to wait until the Utopia Operation Plan began before coming here.

But because of the appearance of Vivi and Straw Hat Boy, the final plan completely failed before it even began.

However, to Crocodile, everything that happened before didn't matter anymore.

He took Robin away and came to the royal tomb.

"Nicole Robin, you know there's no use stalling for time."

Underground space, before the main text of history.

Crocodile was smoking a cigar, his face was calm as water, and there was no emotion in his tone.

But Robin could clearly feel the raging rage hidden beneath the calmness.

"Don't let me lose my patience completely, Nico Robin."

Robin turned his head and looked to the side. Mr. 2 was lying on his back, his life or death unknown.

Crocodile sucked all the water out of him, and he looked emaciated.

But at this moment, Robin was not afraid of facing death.

Even if she knew, it didn't matter whether there was any information about Pluto in this historical text.

Regardless of whether you tell the truth or not.

After she finishes the interpretation, Crocodile will kill himself.

But Robin wasn't afraid.

At the age of eight, she lost her hometown and relatives.

And her friend Sauro, who protected her with his life.

"Robin, remember, no one is ever alone on this ocean!"

"Go to the sea, Robin."

“Maybe you are alone now, but out on the vast ocean.”

"One day you will meet a companion who is willing to protect you!!!"

This is what Sauro told Robin in the last moments of his life.

"I'm so sorry, Sauro."

Recalling his experiences over the years, Robin murmured to himself:

"I seem to disappoint you. I...didn't find any companions."

For some reason, at this moment, two figures appeared in Robin's mind.

One wore a straw hat and the other a robe.

If it was them...

But soon, Robin shook his head and erased the image from his mind.

Turn your attention back to the historical text in front of you.

As a scholar, what could be more satisfying for Robin than interpreting historical texts?

It’s a pity that this may be her last time to interpret the historical text.

After hiding for so long, Robin is really tired this time.

Feeling Crocodile's sinister gaze behind him, Robin made a decision in his heart.

Speak slowly:

"In the year 239 of the Tenryu calendar, Kashira conquered Alabasta..."

"In 260, Tiema ruled the Bitin Dynasty..."

"In 306, Eruma built the Tafo Cathedral..."

"325..."

"enough!!!"

Crocodile's furious voice rang out in the funeral hall:

"Nicole Robin, I told you not to test my patience."

Crocodile clenched his right hand with four rings, as if trying his best to restrain himself:

"I don't care about the history of this country, I just want to know--"

"The location of the ancient weapon Pluto hidden in this country!!!"

"Just translate this for me!"

But before he could finish his words, Robin looked at him calmly:

"There is no record."

“This historical text only records the history of this country.”

"Nothing was mentioned about Pluto."

Crocodile fell silent after hearing Robin's words.

His eyes were fixed on Robin, as if he was looking for some evidence in her eyes.

The latter looked at him without fear.

“Hehe…hehe…hahahaha!”

Crocodile suddenly burst into laughter.

For the sake of Pluto, he endured for many years and even gave up improving his own strength.

But got this answer.

For a moment, Crocodile suddenly found himself like a clown.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Then, Crocodile turned into quicksand and instantly appeared in front of Robin.

Robin's pupils suddenly contracted and he was about to take action.

Crocodile then grabbed Robin's neck tightly:

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to kill you now, Nico Robin."

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

"I will take you to the main text of history, and you will tell me the location of Hades."

The power in Crocodile's hands grew stronger and stronger, and Robin began to struggle.

"Whether you lied to me or not, you are of no use to me now."

At this moment, Robin suddenly took out a transparent test tube and smashed it on Crocodile's head.

The test tube was filled with water, which was something Robin had prepared long ago.

After so many years of cooperation, she already knew it.

Water is Crocodile's biggest weakness.

Just pour water on him and you can hurt him with a knife.

But before Robin could take out the dagger hidden on his body, her expression changed drastically.

Because the test tube did not break.

Just as it was about to hit Crocodile's head, an arm made of quicksand stretched out from behind Crocodile.

Hold the test tube firmly.

Bang!

The test tube burst and all the water in it spilled onto the ground.

Crocodile's suppressed and terrifying laughter sounded again:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"What did I do to make you misunderstand me like this?"

Crocodile's tone was calm, but his expression was extremely ferocious, as if he had been humiliated.

boom! ! !

Robin was thrown away by Crocodile and fell heavily on the main text of history.

"Do you think you can kill me with just the water in here?!!!"

I don't know why, in Crocodile's heart.

The damage Robin's action caused to himself was even greater than when Whitebeard cut off his left hand.

"Who do you think I am!!!"

The quicksand surged, and in the blink of an eye it formed a huge arm.

Robin was held tightly in the arm.

Crocodile's voice continued:

"I am Crocodile!!!"

Crocodile looked at Robin who was struggling in pain, and his expression became more and more terrifying.

"Now, die!!! Nico Robin!"

The arm made of quicksand continued to exert force, and Robin gradually felt suffocated.

Dying?

For some reason, these words came to Robin's mind.

It’s a pity that we couldn’t see more historical text.

Robin thought so.

boom! ! !

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from above the funeral hall, and a huge hole appeared.

Robin, who was close to fainting, looked up.

The scorching sun shines through the cave entrance.

A figure wearing a straw hat stands against the light——

Coming!

Bang! ! !

Luffy held down his straw hat with one hand and landed steadily.

The waves of air that were raised seemed to be protecting the emperor, surging around him.

Luffy looked up at Robin and Crocodile, raised the corners of his mouth, and spoke softly:

"Finally, I found you!"
