"Still watching, Nico Robin?" Esdeath sat on a pillar, uttering a perplexing remark.
Esdeath, who had instantly killed Crocodile, did not leave immediately because she sensed that Nico Robin had followed her!
At this moment, an ear on the pillar vanished, and Nico Robin's face changed drastically; she had been exposed, but when!
And that person's strength!
She actually instantly killed Crocodile; is this the strongest in the current world?
And her goal was to find her, so could she escape?
Just as Nico Robin was about to run, she found a figure blocking her path.
Her hands instantly crossed, and she made a decisive move!
"Eight-Flower Blooming — Claw!"
She immediately unleashed her strongest technique.
Suddenly, eight arms, identical to Robin's, sprouted from Esdeath's body, four above and four below.
The eight arms pulled with force, as if trying to break Esdeath apart.
"Hmph, that won't do!"
A cold aura surged from her body, instantly freezing the eight arms, while Nico Robin across from her felt an endless chill emanating from her own arms.
Her arms were completely numb.
This was one of the drawbacks of the Flower-Flower Fruit; anything she duplicated, she would feel the pain of!
"Let me ask you a question."
"If you answer truthfully, how about I let you go?"
She extended her arm, her fingertip lifting Robin's chin, looking at Robin, who still had wheat-colored skin.
She was tanned!
"You ask, if I know, I'll definitely tell you!"
Facing such a powerful enemy, even stronger than Aokiji, the strongest she had ever seen!
What could she do but compromise?
"Tell me, can your Flower-Flower Fruit transform into anything?"
She touched the eight sprouted arms with interest; this thing was intriguing!
"Yes!"
"And no!"
"It can transform, but currently, I can only barely transform parts of my body!"
Nico Robin nodded hastily, then shook her head; why did she suddenly feel that the Marine in front of her didn't harbor much malice towards her?
"Then, are you willing to become my subordinate, Nico Robin?"
"Huh?"
Nico Robin, suspecting she had misheard, cast a questioning gaze at Esdeath.
This Marine actually said she wanted to take her as her subordinate; one must know that she was the Devil Child with an 80 million bounty!
"It's useless even if you're unwilling; my purpose in coming today was for you."
"If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to break your arms and legs and take you to my territory."
Nico Robin, she remembered, was quite cunning; she would scare her!
"I!"
"I am willing to become your subordinate; it is my honor!"
Nico Robin, on the verge of tears, fell into the tiger's den like a lamb; if she really meant to take her as a subordinate, that would be fine.
She was afraid she would capture her and send her to the World Government!
"Then let's go!"
The cold aura vanished, and the frozen arms were retracted; Nico Robin was carried by Esdeath, soaring into the sky and disappearing from Alabasta!
...…
"President!"
After Esdeath left, a bald, muscular man arrived at the two's battle site.
Looking at the place already buried by sand, Bones's arms transformed into blades, frantically digging into the ground.
Until a large pit appeared, Crocodile, already breathless, was covered in sand.
"President!"
Bones quickly embraced Crocodile's body and walked out of the huge pit, tears shimmering in his eyes!
The President actually died!
Such a ridiculous thing!
"I will go with you, President!"
Looking at Crocodile in his arms, Bones dug a pit, placed Crocodile inside, and then lay down himself.
Dust continuously fell, burying both of them!
...…
"What did you say?"
"Apologies, Esdeath-sama is currently not here, so please come back another day."
Rob Lucci looked impatiently at the pink-haired woman in front of him.
He had just had a sudden thought to look for that woman, but she wasn't there; where else could she be if not in Water 7?
And this was the second time he had come to look for her!
If it weren't for the higher-ups requesting him to investigate this woman's situation, Rob Lucci wouldn't bother coming!
"Woman, my patience has limits!"
Subconsciously, Rob Lucci wanted to push Tina away when he heard a series of clicks!
A row of guns was already aimed at him!
"Tina advises you to retract your hand, otherwise, even if you're from the World Government…"
Tina took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth; she had already said she wasn't here, but this person still wanted to force his way in!
"I said, I am Rob Lucci, a CP9 member, and I order you to call Esdeath out now!"
"Tina said she's not here, then she's not here!"
She frowned impatiently; was this guy ever going to stop?
"Get out of my way!"
Just as Rob Lucci was about to push Tina away, a Black Spear shot out!
"Black Spear!"
"Iron Body!"
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Rob Lucci was pushed back dozens of meters by the Black Spear's impact before stopping.
Crimson blood flowed from his chest!
Although not much, Rob Lucci had sustained some injury.
"You dare to lay a hand on me?"
He glanced at his chest, then Rob Lucci looked up at Tina!
"Why wouldn't I dare!"
"Damn it, take this!"
"Tempest Kick!"
A dark blue Tempest Kick flew out!
"Tempest Kick!"
Seeing this, Tina also kicked out a Tempest Kick, showing no weakness!
...…
