Seeing Nami coming down from the pulley, the baroque personnel stationed here quickly stopped their work, and then bowed to the current BOSS. The pause at the end of his words did not cause Nami too much surprise.

After all, any business needs to pay the temptation of interests, especially those who are stationed several kilometers deep underground. Even if fortifications are laid to prevent collapse, the pressure is not comparable to that on the ground, so Nami also doesn't mind improving the treatment of the staff here.

"What difficulties have you encountered, is it in terms of materials or salary?"

Looking at the gate of Hades at the end of the tunnel, Nami couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. The military knowledge in this world is really amazing. On the one hand, soldiers and pirates at the grassroots level still use outdated flintlock guns and muzzle-loading guns, but on the other hand On the other hand, there are still many things in this world that are almost impossible to develop in other worlds. For example, the flying airship of Enilo is enough to attract people's imagination, even if Enilo provides almost unlimited power, but that kind of The feature of being able to fly is already scary enough. Where does this advanced technology come from? It is still worthy of awe.

Not to mention, the Pluto, which has already reached 100 meters just by logging in to the gate, seems to be buried several kilometers underground, but Nami feels that if it can really be activated, it may be just a matter of getting out of trouble. easy.

"No...actually, we were told it was not good to keep digging."

The head foreman's words were still respectful, even with a trace of fear. Obviously, for grassroots agents like them, Nami in front of him still needs to be recognized and obeyed by the boss, but such an answer undoubtedly made Nami's eyes roll. Shrink suddenly.

I need to explain here. First of all, the spies who dig here are all selected and assigned by Robin himself. As a deputy who has worked under Crocodile for several years, it can be said that the entire Baroque Work Agency was built and integrated by Robin, and Crocodile only provided material and channel support.

Naturally, the personnel selected by Robin, who has enough understanding of the darkness of human nature, cannot be said to be loyal, but they are definitely the type who are smart enough not to die at will. There will be no rebellion at critical moments. Because the smarter people are, the more they understand their own position. These spies know very well that they are definitely not the kind of heroes who can respond to every call and go directly to the top at critical moments, so it is impossible to risk the threat of death without a whole body.

With this kind of self-knowledge, the secret agents also obeyed Nami's orders quite well. Whether it was the difficult environment of eating sand here or the psychological pressure that might be buried at any time, they were carried down by them. Backed by salaries, these villains are resilient enough to overcome circumstances.

So now that you think about it, it's normal for such a group of vicious, self-aware, resilient villains to utter "someone told us it wasn't good" in the tone of a frightened child ?

"Oh? Who warned you so? Can I see you?"

The corners of Nami's mouth were slightly raised, and she made a standard commercial smile. She was not too surprised, because for her, any mistakes in anything can be forgiven, because the world and even human beings are Unstable and probabilistic amalgamation.

"..."

The agents didn't speak any more, but parted a path in a silent and obedient manner. Not only the head foreman, Nami even saw a strange look in the eyes of nearly a hundred people, That is something absolutely not suitable to appear in the eyes of these villains, and that is [piety].

Three points of respect, three points of sincerity, and... four points of fear.

This is the interpretation of the word "devotion" in Nami's eyes. Silently, the queen in black walked slowly towards the gate of Hades, because at this time she was able to see clearly, the person standing in front of the gate a figure.

"It really surprises me that after all this time, someone actually found this place."

The very soft and calm female voice can even hear the full sense of kindness and helplessness in it, and the tall figure and the black nun's clothes are the same as Nami's first feeling, but look more If you use it, you can strongly taste the stark difference between the two similar tones.

"...It seems that I am a little rude. I should have thought of it. How can such a precious inheritance have no heirs."

Although she was still smiling on the surface, Nami's nerves were completely tense: Yes, I was really a little reckless. Something as important as Pluto is like a precious treasure in a game. If it is not guarded by a bunch of elite monsters, it will be abnormal.

"Huh... It's also because we didn't think carefully. Before, we only thought that the thickness of the Alabasta desert was enough to prevent the world from finding Pluto. But now it seems that I, the gatekeeper, are not too late."

Slowly turning around, the figure dressed as a nun finally exposed her appearance in front of Nami, with long gray hair and a delicate face that could not be judged of age, as well as the hand that seemed to be held on her chest because of piety. cross.

"One of the guardians of the gate of Hades, the cross ability user Haiya Lego, greets you."

Guardian (2)

"You're welcome. I am the Queen of Belmer, the Kingdom of the East China Sea, and the current second-generation president of Baroque Works, a blood-powered person, Nami."

Observing the black-clothed nun in front of her, Nami finally reported her name and other information in the same gentle manner. In fact, if she was more sensible, she should be disguising her identity or ability at this time. However, since the other party has already Truthfully reported his position, name and ability. Then responding with the same sincerity is the final confirmation of Nami's inner reserve and self-confidence.

And judging from the information observed so far, Haiya in front of her obviously doesn't have too much malice, or in her eyes, those stupid Baroque staff around her are not worth killing. And from the abnormal reactions of those villains, it is not difficult to see that this nun who claims to have the ability of the cross must have some kind of ability that can affect the mind, so it can make those villains who are greedy for money like frightened bunnies Report to Nami.

"..."

Haiya's pupils narrowed slightly, no matter how much she grasped her own expression, her eyes were never so easy to fake. In Nami's eyes, there is undoubtedly only one look like this: her message caused the nun's astonishment, and her intuition told her that the source of the other party's astonishment was probably not the title of the previous king or president .

"Blood-capable...I'm really lucky, the prophecy is indeed correct."

Seeming to have understood that her feelings were leaked, the nun didn't hide any more, but simply put on her own attitude, slightly raised the cross pendant on her chest, and the nun's words were still soft: "The rest of the children, please temporarily Leaving here, you don't have the heart to listen to the next secret."

The baroque spies around who seemed to be the same as usual nodded obediently and saluted, and then left the underground area neatly and without hesitation as if ignoring Nami, the boss. The cable car went up and away, and the entire excavated underground space regained its palpitating tranquility.

Nami watched the scene in front of her patiently. Originally, she didn't expect the baroque spies around her to do anything, and the performance of these people confirmed her guess about the mysterious ability user in front of her. The other party really had manipulation or influence The ability of the human spirit, and the catalyst for its activation, may be the pendant on its chest.

"So, what advice do you have? Do you want me to give up digging the Pluto in front of me?"

Still remaining polite, Nami did not intend to remain silent. Since she began to artificially change the world, she has already prepared the idea that she will be hindered or attacked, and the ability user who did not appear in the original book is just a part of the expected situation.

"No, please don't get me wrong, we are indeed guardians, but what we have to do is not to let the great ancient weapons continue to sleep, but to wait for a suitable time and a suitable successor."

Haiya shook her head slightly, but with the departure of the ordinary people around her, the expression in her eyes was no longer the harmless one before, but changed into a sharp expression, with undisguised confidence , There is also a very clear oppression: "Before this, our responsibility is not so much to cover it up, but rather to keep this secret from being forgotten by the world."

"Huo~ So, no matter how strict the world government is to block it, the facts and news of the existence of Pluto are still spreading in this world, right?"

Hearing Haiya's explanation in front of her, the doubts in Nami's heart were immediately resolved: So that's why Crocodile knew the existence of Pluto, and that's why there are still many legends about ancient weapons in this world. There are traces of these ancient weapons in many stories, from obscure fables to dark and dense files.

If it is seen that there is a force behind it that is constantly promoting these news, so that the world will always remember these secrets, then it is not surprising that the world government failed to block these news, the only strange thing is...

"Why do you want to do this? If you just want to preserve ancient weapons and wait for the arrival of the so-called successors, you can secretly observe and select the right people. I don't think it's necessary to spread information about some powerful weapons in this world. It's a sensible thing to do."

Cautiously raised all the sense of vigilance, Nami believed in her eyesight, Haiya in front of her seemed to be a gentle and harmless nun, but the sense of danger that was fed back to her was completely discernible, this kind of superficial gentleness inside She is indeed very familiar with the vicious smiling tiger character.

And just as she asked, Pluto, as a super weapon that can affect the world, logically speaking, it should be properly sealed and protected no matter what. Severance is also easy. After all, human beings are creatures that are good at forgetting. At the fastest time, it only takes two generations to completely bury a secret in the soil forever.

But this is not the case. First of all, the pirates on the entire great route almost knew the secret of the existence of ancient weapons. Before the age of great navigation, the golden lion who competed with Roger for maritime supremacy directly pointed out the fact that Roger possessed ancient weapons , That's why he wanted to try his best to win Roger over, because as long as he had the ancient weapons provided by Roger, and the power of the Golden Lion himself, ruling the world would indeed no longer be a mere talk, but just around the corner.

Then there is Crocodile. Compared with Roger and Golden Lion, this hero who has become one of the seven martial arts even mastered the confidential details of Pluto's location in Alabasta, so this is very interesting: who told him this secret? And why did this hero completely believe in this secret?

The leak of the secrets of ancient weapons not only caused some heroes to move, but also gave these people the ambition and confidence to overthrow the world, and this ambition created the turmoil in this world. To put it simply, if Crocodile did not know the whereabouts of Pluto, then he would most likely not be Shichibukai, and naturally he would not plan to plunge the entire Alabasta into war.

"Deliberately revealing the secrets of ancient weapons to these pirates... It seems that your beliefs and practices do not really consider innocent lives... Sister."

Pressing down her eyes, Nami already figured out the key points of the matter, and just as she said, the nun in black standing opposite the queen smiled slightly, although the smile still had a soft arc, but the interest in it The cold light of the teeth is like a beast.

"Of course~ Remember the glory of the ancestors, inherit the will of the ancient king, and select qualified sacrifices... For these, fighting is the melting pot of selection."

Guardian (3)

There is no need to say anything more, Nami has already fully understood the meaning of the black nun in front of her: this world is like a crock for refining Gu to her and the forces behind her, whether it is for choosing inheritance They are still for the so-called glory of the ancestors, and their primary goal is to hope that the world will be in turmoil.

And the scented bait that attracts those strong poisonous insects to grow faster is the secret of ancient weapons, or in other words, an opportunity to subvert this world and even rule it.

Crocodile is the best example. In order to master the ancient weapon Pluto, this hero who drank hatred on the sea gave up his self-esteem as a great pirate, and willingly became a running dog under the command of the world government, spending his precious time in Ala Bastan is close to ten years. And its purpose is to get Pluto, and then conquer the whole world.

He was indeed successful, because he did destroy the original peace and tranquility of the country as he wished, and even found the tomb in Alabasta where the Pluto stele was stored.

But he was indeed defeated, not only because the war he instigated ended in the capital, but also he lost to a rookie pirate who looked down upon him completely.

In any case, the chaos and turmoil that his actions have brought to Alabasta and even the world cannot be denied. The human world often affects the whole because of a part. If Crocodile is not stopped, then his successful usurping behavior will definitely cause countless people to follow suit. These people may be pirates like him, or they may be other nobles with a stable mind. The chaos and turmoil that may be caused need not be said.

Not to mention how far Crocodile, who really found the location of Pluto, would spread the chaos and turmoil if Robin didn't have that kindness.

"Originally, I thought Crocodile would be the one who succeeded, but it seems that the decision of fate is unimaginable for ordinary people. Now you appearing in front of me proves this even more."

Haiya raised her head slightly, and the eyes of the black nun reflected a metallic cold light under the dim light around her, and her words also explained another mystery: the person who revealed the information of Hades to Crocodile may be the she.
