Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

Sitting in his office chair, Crocodile is obviously confident. Although he knows that his strategies and plans are not as broad as the Queen of the East China Sea, through this period of polishing and planning, he has obviously regained his persistence. Reason: After all, there are indeed many strong people in this world, but no matter how good or powerful other people's minds are, they are not your own, so it is enough to stick to the path you practice.

"Yeah, you don't know how depressed I've been these days. However, the East China Sea is a stagnant pool of water without even a single ripple. If I don't come out for air, I'm worried that I might be suffocated to death."

Naturally tasting a piece of veal steak in front of her, Nami's words were obviously quite sincere. As an important partner on the surface, no matter how arrogant the Sand Crocodile was, she could not neglect the Queen of the East China Sea who had obtained the official status. , so the underwater reception room is now filled with a table of delicacies, which can be regarded as a welcome blessing for the queen who has come from afar.

"Guhahahaha~ Your nature can't be suppressed anymore, right? From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you are definitely not a person who is willing to be lonely. What do you think? Do you want to join forces?"

He let out a series of gloomy laughs that were quite consistent with the identity of the BOSS, and Crocodile's words were also quite crisp. His purpose was to kill the royal army, including King Kobra, and the incited rebels, and then legitimately take over the country as a national hero. But even if he really eliminated the royal army and the rebels at the same time, It's not that easy to be a king. The people of Alabasta may not refuse a national hero to become their new king, but the kings of other countries around them who are eyeing him eagerly do not think so.

At this time, if he can have the full support of a friendly monarch with good influence in the world, his step will definitely be much smoother. And Nami is undoubtedly such a king who meets the requirements.

In normal times, Crocodile would naturally disdain to lower his head to ask for help, but now that Nami has come to her, Crocodile doesn't mind inviting this ability user that he likes very much.

Yes, able ones. As a person with a very accurate vision, Sand Crocodile can certainly see the importance of the demon sword Xia Lan and the rubber alloy. In addition, Nami has already shown advanced navigation skills, which makes Crocodile conclude that it will be absolutely useful at any time. After all, even if Crocodile really obtained Hades, he would not be able to drive this legendary battleship all over the world like a mere commander. Therefore, finding allies has become impossible to avoid.

"Joining forces? It's not impossible. After all, Alabasta's market is very good, but you know, my Belmere itself is not a resource-rich country. Therefore, my goal is to purchase enough materials from foreign countries to artificially expand our country. The country’s territory. I’m afraid there will be many bastards who want to interfere with me in the East China Sea. If I have the support of you, the future king of a great country, I can feel more relaxed.”

Picking up the napkin on the side of the dining table, Nami wiped her lips gracefully. There was indeed no lie in her words, because this was her future plan for Bellmere. After all, as a person who believes more in reality and coldness, she cannot just wait foolishly for Luffy and his team to pass their own test. The path she understands is to make all feasible plans in the future.

The inherent shortcoming of Bellemere is that it is just a desert island. If it were replaced by those monarchs with no enterprising spirit, it would be possible to live a life of extravagance until death on this small island with Xia Lan and rubber alloy, but as a man who knows his own Of course, Nami will not stop here with the arrogant existence of positioning.

What should I do if the island is too small? Of course, it was artificial enlargement. She even thought about using many materials to directly surround the entire land area of ​​Bellemere, creating a ship-shaped country as huge as an aircraft carrier. After all, there are quite a lot of high-strength materials in this world. , otherwise it would be impossible for there to be ridiculously large super sailboats, such as the terrifying three-masted sailboat of Moonlight Moria that is as big as a small island.

No matter how you look at it, Moonlight Moria doesn't seem like someone who can surpass her in the ability to make money, so since the other party can have an island ship like that, Nami thinks that building a bigger one is just a matter of time and money.

"Oh~ That's a good idea. It seems like you are the kind of person who won't stop. Then it's settled. Our alliance doesn't require any documents. You just know what I know."

Sand Crocodile is quite satisfied with Nami's words. Although he will never regard the other party as someone who can unconditionally trust him, since he is an ally, he naturally likes to see beast-like existences rather than those without any enterprising spirit. Trash like a fat pig.

"So, when do you plan to start? I can probably take a month's vacation here."

Picking up a glass of red wine, Nami stood up casually and walked to the side of the sink glass. There is no doubt that this is the interior of Yuyan's building. As a building specially built on the water, Yuyan itself is actually a unique freshwater lake, and Sand Crocodile built the most luxurious building directly on the lake with its abundant financial resources and prestige. The Casino Rain Banquet, perhaps due to personal preference, the buildings where Crocodile hides are all located inside underwater buildings built under the water. Through the strong tempered glass, you can even see some fat banana crocodiles swimming at the bottom of the lake.

The reason why it is called a sand crocodile is obviously because Crocodile prefers this kind of cold-blooded animal. In fact, it is completely feasible to regard all the banana crocodiles in this lake as their pets.

"Well, don't be anxious. Since you are here, let Mr. take you to have fun and relax on Sunday. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long to watch the fireworks."

Looking at Robin standing at the door, Crocodile nodded slightly, and the latter responded calmly: "Yes, BOSS, I will entertain Her Majesty the Queen well."

Sipping the red wine in the glass bit by bit, Nami just tilted her head slightly indifferently, and then said quite casually: "By the way, I forgot to ask, you should have prepared the plan this time, and make sure there is nothing wrong with it. Possibility of failure, right?”

"Well~ Of course, since we are allies, I might as well say a little more. When the last batch of arms arrives, the rebels should go to the capital Albana and ask their king why he wanted to take away this country. It’s raining.”

Relaxing and leaning his back on the chair, Crocodile didn't think there was anything wrong with Nami's confirmation. Considering that he wanted to gain the other party's trust, he revealed the details of the resistance and Yuyu in a big way. After all, what he did was to use dancing powder to deliberately take away the rain in other parts of the country, and then put the blame on King Kobra, which allowed the resistance to gradually gather.

"Oh~ That's good. Then, let's end this plan."

Throwing down the drained goblet, Nami's tone was as calm and calm as ever, even with a laziness that was difficult to conceal, as if she was discussing the taste of this glass of red wine with Crocodile. But her right hand was swung violently, and with a heart-stopping sound of shattering, the sturdy tempered glass of the sink shattered like a fragile sand sculpture under her attack. Before Crocodile's astonishment even ended, The pure water flow outside the sink has rushed into the room located dozens of meters underwater with a violent attitude. The strong water pressure completely swallowed up all the space in the room in less than a few seconds.

A touch of blood mist enveloped Nami at the same time as Nami moved, so even these violent water flows could not disperse the blood in a short period of time, which was much richer than the water flow. It was equivalent to being separated from the water flow by the blood. Nami doesn't need to worry about the water invading her. But Crocodile and Robin obviously don't have this ability. The weakness of ability users when encountering water makes them almost unable to resist at all, and they are knocked down and submerged by the current. No matter how strong their will or spirit is, in terms of ability, Under the curse of nature, they all became victims of the current at this moment.

Nami, who was shrouded in blood mist, reached out to Robin's position with enough energy. A tentacle-like red blood mist also deftly grabbed him, and then quickly floated toward the surface of the water easily and leisurely.

As for Crocodile, he is first and foremost an ability user, and secondly, he is a Shasha Fruit ability user with the worst compatibility with water. Therefore, even if he feels the almost uncontrollable resentment and anger in his chest, the water flow still erodes him immediately. And deprived him of the ability to resist, he tried his best to stretch his palm upwards, but what he finally saw was still the scene of Nami leading Robin away quickly. In less than a few seconds, Nami and Robin easily left the lake. Looking at the large bubbles of water on the lake, the smile in the eyes of the orange-haired girl floating in the air still did not disappear. .

Obviously, this was not a friendly meeting, on the contrary, it was a casual and successful beheading operation. Even Robin, who was held in Nami's arms, couldn't help but have a little fear in his eyes after he coughed violently and came to his senses. Although she already knew what the other party planned to do, defeating the famous Crocodile so simply and effectively was still beyond her ability.

Nami just shook her head slightly, and a slightly joking, but more cruel words came out of her mouth.

"The 'crocodile' drowned in water, haha~ What a good bad joke~"

No lower limit (2)

It is not surprising that Crocodile would be successfully raided. As a person with abilities who are most afraid of water, he does not know why he built his office in an underwater building in the lake, and it is not that closed and solid. In the basement, there is a room similar to a water view room where you can directly observe the water through the glass.

In this case, if someone breaks the glass of the water view room, it is not surprising that the large amount of water flowing in will directly knock them down. If it were other natural ability users, there might be some chance to escape from the exit of the corridor before the water flow surrounded them. However, Crocodile, as a Shasha Fruit user, was almost unable to do so when surrounded by a large amount of water mist. to elementalization.

Therefore, in Nami's eyes, Crocodile's behavior of insisting on living in a water-view room as a sandman is just like a normal person living in a house surrounded by bombs. This behavior is not only full of He has a strong character that makes normal people awe-inspiring, and he is also full of a sense of opportunity that makes Nami feel that it is almost effortless to kill him.

So Nami did it. If she hadn't been quite satisfied with the taste of the veal steak and decided to savor it carefully, she would have done this more than five minutes earlier.

"Ahem~ You, you want to kill Crocodile?"

Robin, who was held in Nami's arms, looked at Nami with an almost frightened look: "You...you said you just planned to..."

"Yes, I plan to persuade him. But I know that he has a stubborn personality, and the process of persuasion should take a long time, so I might as well knock him down first and then say a few words if I am in the mood. And... the location Whether it has changed or not, and whether Mr. Crocodile can be persuaded are completely different things in my opinion."

Landing slowly on safe land, Nami felt no pressure at all to kill Crocodile. As a tycoon who planned to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives on the ladder of his own ambition, she started to kill this king, Shichibukai. There is no uneasiness or hesitation. As for the identity of the ally? It’s a joke, allies refer to those who can be trusted and entrusted to others. An ambitious person who is ready to betray and betray anyone around him anytime and anywhere in order to advance his own ambition is not qualified to be Nami’s ally.

Several vague and weak breaking sounds came from under the lake. It was obvious that some furniture or utensils were broken under the huge water pressure. Crocodile should undoubtedly be shocked and angry. However, it is a pity that even though he is now The consciousness is still struggling to maintain a trace of clarity, but the suffocation of drowning will soon completely annihilate this clarity.

Originally, he believed that he was being cautious. If Nami was not an esper, he might have changed the meeting place. However, he had already confirmed that the Queen of the East China Sea was indeed an esper. Therefore, the blind spot of cognition and the arrogance of his own identity easily sent him to this path.

If Nami were an ordinary person with abilities, this act of self-determining the water tank would inevitably drown her at the bottom of the lake. But unfortunately, her ability gave her a certain ability to resist water erosion, so Only then could he complete this raid so easily.

but...

After exhaling the last few bubbles from his lungs, Crocodile's mind was filled with a few words that were about to explode: Why? ! !

"Why?"

Robin was also asking Nami the same question. The soaked black-skinned lady was showing off her figure at this moment, and the excess water was still dripping from the tips of her hair. This daydreaming beauty was undoubtedly It was breathtaking enough, but at this time, Robin, who always paid attention to image, gritted her teeth and looked at Nami in front of her. She was not complaining about Crocodile's fate, but simply felt...uneasy.

Yes, the uneasiness is so strong that it cannot be suppressed.

If it weren't for the fact that Nami still saved her and was the only one who had the additional ancient history decipherer Blooddrop Stone, Robin knew that she would have escaped immediately.

To be fair, the cooperation between Nami and Crocodile has always been extremely smooth. As a business contact, Crocodile has never slighted Nami in terms of price or effort, and he has never been humiliating or looking down on her even in terms of communication. Attitude, on Nami's birthday and Bellemare's founding holiday, there was never a shortage of gifts. Robin was even told to give Nami more generous gifts every time.

There was no friction or flaw in the cooperation between the two, and there was no offense in the daily communication between the two. Until the previous moment, Crocodile was still trying his best to express his willingness to continue to cooperate with Nami, but the next moment, he was directly This "trusted" partner in a sense was lost at the bottom of a cold, deep lake.

So, why did Nami do this? Unless the other party is the World Government or a group of people higher up, or some other people whose purpose and identity are unknown.

"Huh? What a problem."

Blinking slightly, Nami casually took off her black cloak, and then carefully wrapped Robin's body, but the latter just gritted her teeth slightly, and then whispered: "I insist."

Seeing the stubbornness in the other person's eyes, the corners of Nami's mouth couldn't help but droop a little, and she took a step back slightly angrily. The orange-haired girl wearing only a black dress also raised her head slightly: "Okay, okay~ The reason is not very obvious. Is that so? Xia Lan and other businesses have always been transferred through Crocodile. Nearly half of Doflamingo’s purchase funds went into Mr. Sand Crocodile’s pocket for free. Of course, I I don’t have any complaints about this. After all, this was Mr. Crocodile’s help to me when I was weak, so I silently allowed Mr. Sand Crocodile to still make money for free for nearly two years after I established the country. But, you also You see, I don’t need Mr. Crocodile as a transit point now.”

Turning her gaze to the water, Nami raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. According to common sense, the limit time for a normal person to drown is 15 minutes, but considering the strong folk customs in the One Piece world, Crocodile is There is only one strong person in the world, so she decided to double the time and wait for half an hour.

"You...you mean..."

Robin instinctively wrapped her black cloak tightly around her body. Robin did feel a chill. Yes, she had understood. Nami's meaning was very simple. Let's put it this way, the price of Bellmere's goods was 5 when they came out of the place of origin. Crocodile spent such a price to get these goods, and then sold them to Dover in the New World for 10 or even 15. Brother Langming. In other words, he just took charge of a transit job and got double or even triple the remuneration for nothing.

There is no doubt that this is unfair, just because Crocodile is one of the seven warriors under the king. This dazzling halo not only obscures his eyes, but also obscures the eyes of others, including Robin. Binocular. It was only now that Robin suddenly realized that this person, one of the seven warriors under the king, didn't seem that strong, and even... frighteningly fragile.

In the past, Nami's foothold was not stable, and it was understandable that she relied on Crocodile's tiger skin to help her drive away those coveted flies. But now, she has completely solidified her relationship with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, and the latter even hesitated to The veteran Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was sent directly to station in Bellmere. It can be said that she has the qualifications and ability to directly trade with the people in the New World. At this time, a guy who is already dispensable has to do it every time. Taking away close to 50% or more of the profits of one's own goods is undoubtedly intolerable.
