Alabasta, "City of Dreams" Rainbase.
This could be said to be the most luxurious city in all of Alabasta, with the best environmental climate. Even Alabasta's capital city couldn't compare, because this place was a true oasis.
Countless people fantasized about getting rich overnight through gambling; this place bore the name "City of Dreams."
One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, "Sir Crocodile" Crocodile, had established the largest casino in all of Alabasta in the center of this oasis—the Rain Dinners.
On the top floor of the Rain Dinners casino.
In a luxurious, bright office.
What was astonishing was that the office was surrounded by transparent glass on all four sides. The other side of the glass was filled with seawater, making one feel as if they were in an ocean world.
A huge and exceptionally ferocious Banana Alligator was thrashing about inside, repeatedly biting a giant fish with its bloody mouth. A cloud of crimson instantly spread from it, incomparably bloody...
"Germa 66?"
On a leather sofa in the office, a middle-aged man, draped in an unnamed large fur coat and puffing on a cigar-like cigarette, exhaled a cloud of white smoke, his eyes showing some surprise: "What are they doing here?"
And on his face, a hideous scar ran horizontally across the bridge of his nose. His left hand wore a golden hook, exuding a biting chill.
In front of him stood a beautiful woman with long black hair, wearing a cowboy hat.
And that blue-black leather coat showcased her somewhat voluptuous figure. Her skin, slightly tanned from living in this desert kingdom for a long time, instead added a touch of healthy beauty to her, not detracting in the slightest from her beautiful and intelligent features.
Shaking her head slightly, indicating she couldn't guess, Nico Robin continued to report: "According to intelligence, only a few people left the War House, riding giant black vultures. Their direction isn't the royal capital, but precisely towards Rainbase... Hmm hmm..."
"According to photos sent by several 'Millions' agents, the leader is the one reported last month, who once clashed with another Warlord of the Sea, 'Heavenly Yaksha' Donquixote Doflamingo, and later single-handedly pacified the rebellion in the Goa Kingdom of West Blue, 'Germa's Devil' Vinsmoke Judge!"
"What?"
His brow couldn't help but twitch. Crocodile removed his cigar and stood up with some surprise: "It's actually that Germa brat?"
"Mr. 0, I have a feeling Germa isn't coming with good intentions."
Nodding directly, Nico Robin kindly reminded him.
Over these years, Germa had continuously interfered in wars between various countries around the world in the form of a mercenary army. Their reputation had long spread throughout the Four Seas. Nico Robin was still quite concerned about this evil war organization.
In a head-on clash, Vinsmoke Judge could fight on par with another Warlord of the Sea, "Heavenly Yaksha." Although young, he undoubtedly possessed considerable strength.
"Hmph, Laozi isn't a piece of trash like Doflamingo, unable to even handle a little brat..."
With a somewhat disdainful cold snort, Crocodile, full of confidence and arrogance, took a puff of his cigar and asked, "Where are they now?"
"Half an hour ago, they appeared in Yuba!"
"Then let's go meet them, see what these fellows are really up to..."
He exhaled a puff of smoke, and then his entire person transformed into a gust of sand, instantly disappearing!
In the vast office, only Nico Robin remained, somewhat lost in thought, a strange light flickering in her eyes. Shaking her head, she muttered to herself, "Hopefully, there won't be a need to switch sides again..."
Ever since she was put on a wanted poster by the World Government at the age of eight with a bounty of 79,000,000 Berries, having experienced countless betrayals and witnessed the greedy, selfish, and cruel side of human nature time and again, while constantly evading pursuit by the World Government and the Marines, frequently changing allegiances, joining gangs, pirates, and other forces, and choosing to betray without hesitation whenever faced with danger, she had long since stopped easily trusting anyone!
If Crocodile was in danger, she would absolutely not hesitate for a moment and would immediately leave quietly.
Yellow sand filled the sky.
The scorching sun baked the earth.
"Caw!"
Two giant black vultures soared in the sky, with several figures clearly seated on them.
The black vultures weren't flying very high, less than a few hundred meters from the ground, allowing them to easily take in the entire situation on the ground.
"Whoosh——"
A cloud of dust rolled towards them, causing a huge commotion below.
It finally transformed into a tall figure, standing on a small hill that had been eroded by wind and sand into an unrecognizable shape. He looked up with somewhat cold eyes at the two giant black vultures: ". Such arrogant fellows..."
"Caw——"
Sharp eyes directly spotted the figure on the small hill below. The two black vultures let out long cries.
Sitting with Judge on the back of one of the black vultures, Isabelle's emerald-green beautiful eyes saw the figure below.
Although she had intentionally tied her beautiful hair into a ponytail earlier, her long golden hair was still somewhat disheveled by the wind.
"They've taken the initiative to find us so quickly?"
Judge stood up: "It seems I somewhat overestimated his patience..."
"Your Highness, is he one of the Seven Warlords, 'Sir Crocodile' Crocodile?" Sizing up the black figure below, Isabelle's eyes showed some surprise.
"In this desert, it actually saves us some trouble, no need to specifically lure him out..."
The two giant (is it okay?) black vultures circled and descended directly.
Very quickly, they landed directly in front of Crocodile, who was smoking a cigar and wearing a dark gray overcoat, looking somewhat cool and exuding a bit of arrogance.
"Sh!"
A red figure shot out like lightning!
The sound of breaking air whistled incessantly, Stone Leg instantly kicked out with overwhelming force!
"What!?"
His pupils couldn't help but shrink violently. Crocodile never expected that the other party wouldn't even say half a word and would directly attack upon arrival.
"Clang!!"
In a flash, he barely managed to block.
"Damn bastard!!!" Utterly shocked and enraged, that Haki-covered Stone Leg directly slammed into his crossed arms.
"Ugh!!"
The terrifying force made Sir Crocodile's arms tremble, and his entire person was sent flying.
...Hmm...
