Chapter 74: Kiss in the Wind, Crocodile's Legacy
"Alright, it's decided! We go to Rainbase first, then to the capital!" Lister said.
"Will we make it in time?" Vivi asked worriedly.
"We'll make it!" Lister nodded.
Vivi nodded in return.
Since Lister had said so, she would naturally choose to believe him unconditionally.
Lister sped up, finishing all the meat and desserts the girls brought him, and at the same time, he recovered to his peak condition.
"Nami, prepare another portion for me! I'll be right back," Lister stood up and said to Nami.
"Okay!" Nami nodded.
"Robin, I'm going to Rainbase first," Lister said to Robin.
"Okay!" Robin nodded.
Lister activated his Overclock Mode, picked up Robin, and ran towards Rainbase at full speed.
The crowd only saw an afterimage flash by, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lister appeared a thousand meters away, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared from their sight.
"So fast!" The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at this scene.
He was like a lightning bolt all the way.
Under normal circumstances, at this speed, Robin would not only be blown senseless by the wind, but her clothes might even be torn.
But after Lister enveloped Robin with his fruit's force field, Robin only felt everything flying backwards at high speed.
Other than that, she felt no discomfort at all.
"How magical!" Robin wrapped her arms around Lister's neck, looking at the surrounding scenery, and exclaimed in amazement.
"I can make you feel something even more magical. Want to try?" Lister gave a wicked smile.
"You're up to no good!" Robin knew he was up to something just by looking at his mischievous expression.
"Don't you think it's romantic to kiss in this lightning-fast speed?" Lister laughed.
"I'm afraid if we kiss, you'll run in the wrong direction! Or run straight into a wall," Robin pouted.
"Don't be afraid, my sense of direction is very strong, and I have Observation Haki!" Lister said.
"Nami has never tried it. Don't you want to be the first to try?"
Hearing this, Robin was suddenly tempted.
A pleasure that Nami had never tried, she had to have a taste of it.
So, after Lister finished speaking, Robin took the initiative to lean in and kiss him.
Amidst the rolling yellow sand, another beautiful scenery was added.
Unfortunately, apart from the two involved, there were no spectators.
About ten minutes later, the two finally arrived at Rainbase.
Robin reluctantly let go of Lister.
She had to admit, kissing at lightning speed really had a different flavor.
It was addictive and exciting.
Rain Dinners, Crocodile's old lair.
Although Crocodile was now dead, the news had not yet reached here.
The order here was still not in chaos.
Lister and Robin stood outside the main entrance of Rain Dinners, looking at the magnificent building.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Mine, mine, it's all mine!"
"Yours? Are you going to stay and run it?" Robin rolled her eyes.
"Of course not, but I will definitely take the money inside," Lister said.
"Let's go, let's go in!"
"Ms. Robin, you're back?"
Crocodile had not directly announced Robin's betrayal of Baroque Works to the public.
So, the waiters and bouncers in the casino did not stop Robin and Lister.
In fact, their attitude was extremely friendly.
Robin nodded and led Lister upstairs.
"Do you know where Crocodile's money is hidden?" Lister asked.
"I do!" Robin nodded.
As Crocodile's second-in-command, she was involved in the management of both Baroque Works and the casino, so she naturally knew where Crocodile's money was kept.
"Let's go, take me to where Crocodile's money is hidden first," Lister said.
Next, there was a long journey, so he was preparing to spend some money to improve his physique.
"Okay!" Robin nodded and led Lister to the place where Crocodile's money was hidden.
A safe room made of steel.
Without a password, it was difficult for ordinary people to get in.
"I don't have the password. What do we do now?" Robin said.
"Leave it to me!"
Lister drew his katana and swung it a few times at the steel wall, directly cutting a large hole in the steel-cast safe room.
The two of them squeezed in.
Looking around the entire safe room, there were a few piles of gold, a few piles of Berries, and a few boxes on a table.
Without another word, Lister walked directly to the piles of cash Berries and, in front of Robin, revealed his Golden Finger!
"Golden Finger, let's spend some money!"
Lister's index finger instantly shone with a golden light, quickly devouring the several piles of Berries.
[Gold Master: Lister!]
[Physique: 20]
[Spirit: 25]
[Gold Index: 45]
"What? Only 450 million?" Lister's face darkened.
"This guy is a Warlord of the Sea, and he only has this much money?"
"Aren't there a few piles of gold next to it?" Robin said.
"My finger doesn't eat gold!" Lister said with a dark face.
"Actually, you can't blame Crocodile. Although he has made a lot of money over the years, he also has to support several thousand people, and from time to time, he has to go out and buy weapons and Devil Fruits! It's not bad that he has this much Berries and a pile of gold left!" Robin explained.
"Are those boxes all Devil Fruits?" Hearing Robin's words, Lister couldn't help but turn his gaze to the boxes next to him.
"Yes!" Robin nodded.
"Crocodile is actually very generous to his subordinates who have made great contributions. He has given Devil Fruits to several officers."
"Heh!" Lister suddenly understood and walked towards the boxes, opening them one by one.
As expected, the boxes contained Devil Fruits.
"Two Paramecia, three Zoan! Do you know what fruits they are?" Lister asked.
Devil Fruits are divided into three categories: Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan.
The shape of each type of Devil Fruit is different.
Lister could distinguish between these, but he couldn't tell what the others were.
"I don't know. Crocodile wouldn't tell me such things!" Robin shook her head.
"Is there a Devil Fruit encyclopedia here?" Lister asked again.
"Yes, I'll go find it!" Robin nodded.
"And find a few bags!" Lister said.
"Okay!"
Robin responded and walked out of the safe room. Not long after, she returned. This time, besides a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, she also had a few good-quality bags.
Without another word, Lister put the Devil Fruits into the bags.
Then, he put all the gold into the bags as well, preparing to take it all with him.
After all, he didn't know if the people in the casino would break in after he and Robin left.
Although this was Crocodile's office, and not many people would dare to break in without his permission, it was better to be safe than sorry!
Lister would feel heartbroken even if he lost a single piece of gold.
"Aren't you going to identify those Devil Fruits?" Robin asked, seeing Lister pack everything into the bags in one go.
"Time is tight, there's no need. We can identify them when we get back!" Lister said.
"Alright!" Robin nodded.
Lister opened his Golden Finger again.
"Golden Finger, add thirty points to my physique. Add the remaining fifteen points to my spirit!"
[Points added!]
[Gold Master: Lister]
[Physique: 50]
[Spirit: 40]
[Gold Index: 0]
His physique had doubled, and his spirit had also increased by sixty to seventy percent.
At this moment, Lister could clearly feel his body becoming stronger, more powerful, and more durable.
His thinking was also clearer, and his mind was more agile.
"Not bad!" Lister exclaimed.
Then he picked up all the gold and Devil Fruits and said to Robin, "Let's go, let's get the Dance Powder!"
"Okay!" Robin looked at Lister and nodded.
She then led Lister to the room where the Dance Powder was stored.
Lister went in, took a look around, and quickly came out with two large bags of Dance Powder.
"Will carrying so many things affect your speed?" Robin asked.
"If it was before, it might have had some effect, but now, it has no effect at all!" Lister said confidently.
A physique of 50 was fifty times that of an ordinary person.
His strength was several times greater than his physique data.
Not to mention carrying a few hundred pounds of things.
Even if it was several times more, he could still be as fast as lightning while carrying it.
"Heh!" Robin's eyes lit up.
"Let's go!"
Lister and Robin walked out of Rain Dinners in a grand manner.
The people in the casino, although they felt it was a bit strange, didn't dare to ask.
After that, Lister took Robin and rushed back to the riverbank at lightning speed.
Only this time, the two of them couldn't kiss romantically at lightning speed like before.
[Asking for flowers, reviews, and everything!!!]
