Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 150: Sand Crocodile! (Second Update Requested)

In reality, even before coming here, and even now, Robin still didn't believe Zhao Xu's words.

Zhao Xu had mentioned several locations of historical texts before.

Charlotte Linlin's Whole Cake Island - the Four Emperors had the qualifications to possess historical texts.

And now they were in Alabasta, a superpower and an ancient civilization, which also had the possibility of possessing historical texts.

But whether it was the Whole Cake Island or Alabasta, they were only qualified, only possible.

Without seeing the historical texts, Robin still had some doubts in her heart.

She had been wandering for ten years, chasing after historical texts for a full decade.

But besides the underground basement of Ohara's Tree of Knowledge, where she had discovered a piece of historical text, she hadn't found any other locations.

However, Zhao Xu claimed to know so many locations of historical texts.

It was hard not to suspect that he was bragging.

So this was also one of the reasons why Robin forced him to bring her here - if there were no historical texts, sorry, but she wouldn't listen to him like before!

At first, Robin was indeed Zhao Xu and Uchiha Madara's captive, but there was a difference between captives who worked hard and those who didn't!

There were even captives who worked desperately...

But now, upon hearing the news about Crocodile, Robin suddenly started to believe a little!

Seizing a country was not an easy task. Even Doflamingo, who was also a Shichibukai, needed a lot of calculations.

Alabasta was not a small country. It had strong national power and some background related to the Celestial Dragons, making it more difficult to intervene compared to ordinary countries.

Even Crocodile needed to plan for several years, even up to ten years, to truly seize this country.

Why would a Shichibukai spend so much time? Why not aim for a smaller and easier country?

He must have something else he wanted, not just the country, but something else.

EER...

Ancient Weapon!

Robin bit her lip slightly, squinting her eyes, and walked forward slowly.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, quietly watched Robin.

BAZE...

"Why have you been staring at me?" Robin's face blushed slightly.

That gaze was too invasive, scanning her from head to toe...

"Because you're beautiful," Zhao Xu smirked.

"You're beautiful, and your clothes are beautiful too."

He wasn't exaggerating. Not only was she beautiful, but her clothes...

Alabasta was a desert country, with cultural customs that differed greatly from the rest of the world.

EERA...

Dancer's attire!

A short top, revealing a snow-white belly button, with long silk draped over the arms. Various gold and silver accessories adorned the slender and delicate collarbone.

A long dance skirt on the lower body, swaying with each step.

Robin glanced at him disdainfully. Didn't you buy this outfit?

Crossing the desert while wearing something like this?

You really have quite the imagination!

But she didn't say much either, even though this outfit doesn't look like something you can wear to cross the desert.

In the sky, the intense sunlight was blocked by the sand dust swirling above her head.

Under her feet, the sand formed hard clumps, like a straight road leading forward.

With each step Zhao Xu took in front, a bit more of a path appeared under his feet.

Although it was said to be crossing the desert, in reality, it wasn't much different from walking in the city.

"So this is what they call ninjutsu..." Robin squinted her eyes and thought to herself.

By now, most of the Revolutionary Army knew about Uchiha Madara and Zhao Xu's abilities.

They weren't Devil Fruit users, but rather wielded a peculiar power called ninjutsu.

It had various applications, seemingly usable in any situation, be it for attack, defense, or even walking...

They didn't even need to worry about drinking water. Aside from the various Water Style techniques, they also had something called a storage scroll, which was enough to meet their needs.

"They're really strong," Robin sighed softly.

Not only were they physically strong, but they also possessed an impeccable strength.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention. As he continued to gaze at Robin's slender figure, treating it as a scenic view, he expanded his perception to search for the historical text.

He didn't randomly choose the route to Yuba; he specifically came here.

Alabasta had two pieces of historical text, one in the Royal Tomb and the other written in the anime, where Luffy and the others walked in the desert and accidentally fell into a ruin.

What he was currently searching for was the historical text in that ruin.

After all, he knew the locations of the other historical texts and could head straight to them, estimating how much time it would take.

Only this one required a slow search, and he didn't know how long it would take to find it.

So, he started with this one.

Fortunately, his current strength was extraordinary, and his perception ability was not weak. If it all depended on luck...

He estimated that he would have no chance.

Now, Zhao Xu and 720 Robin were walking on the same route as Luffy and the others did back then, scanning along the way.

The desert area was just too large, and it was unknown if Luffy and the others walked in a straight line, so there was no need to search slowly...

And at this moment.

Rainbase, Rain Dinner.

This was the largest casino in Alabasta and also Crocodile's lair.

Of course, Crocodile had only recently arrived in Alabasta, so the prosperity of Rainbase wasn't as apparent as it would be in the future.

But as Crocodile's base, it was not only his lair but also the center of Baroque Works...

In the top room of Rain Dinner.

Buzz...

A man wearing a fur coat and holding a cigar in the corner of his mouth picked up a Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, is this boss Mr. 0? We've found an interesting person over here!"

"Hmm?" Crocodile narrowed his eyes. "Who is it?"

"It's the woman you asked us to keep an eye on... She's arrived in Alabasta!"

Crocodile's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"You mean... Robin?"

"She's here?!"
