"Who knows!" said William nonchalantly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He didn't want to be One Piece or dominate the world or anything, he, like Luffy, had no interest in wealth, fame, or power, and if it weren't for Luffy's kind invitation, he would have been living a reclusive life on an island now.

"Your captain is really unlucky, he actually picked up the princess who was hunted down by the Baroque company. And even more unfortunately, their next island is a 'little garden'!" said Nicole Robin with a smile after reining in her murderous aura.

"Unfortunately, you Baroque Company, the Seven Martial Seas can't stop us, and if I don't guess, you should have revealed the identity of your boss to Vivi!" William not only refuted Nicole Robin's words, but also analyzed the reason why Vivi learned about the identity of the boss behind the Baroque Company.

The Baroque company has a very strict hierarchy, and as the boss, Crockdahl never shows his face, and everything is passed on or handled by Nicole Robin, as the general manager. And in the entire Baroque company, only Nicole Robin, the partner of the boss MR.0, codenamed Miss Sunday, knew that if she hadn't deliberately revealed it, Vivi and Igram would definitely not have been able to find out the truth.

"That's a good analysis, but you're underestimating Krokdal's strength. Nicole Robin said.

"It's not that we underestimated Crockdahl's quality, it's that Crockdahl underestimated our quality. "William is well aware of Rustle's weaknesses, but Crockdahl doesn't know anything about the Straw Hats.

"Here's for you!" Nicole Robin tossed a permanent record compass to William, "This is a secret route that even the Baroque Company doesn't know!"

"No!," William said, crushing the permanent record compass, "My captain is the only one who can decide our course!"

"Aren't you afraid that your captain will accuse you of your recklessness?" asked Nicole Robin, puzzled.

"Not really. Because that idiot would do that!" William said with self-deprecation, "Maybe that's why I'm willing to follow him!"

"I see!" said Nicole Robin, as if she didn't understand.

After a brief exchange between the two, Nicole Robin rode her mount, a large turtle left, and eventually she gave up the opportunity to talk to Luffy.

William, on the other hand, continued his voyage on a permanent record compass pointing to the Kingdom of Alabastan. Because William was cut off from the outside world, all of Kerra and the others were unaware of the conversation between William and Nicole Robin. Due to the presence of Kerra, an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, William only told everyone that the person who came was Miss Whole Sunday, the partner of the owner of the Baroque company MR.0, but did not say anything about her true identity.

It's not that William can't trust Kella or the Revolutionary Army, but some things are not the right time, and now William and the Straw Hats are very weak, and it doesn't do any good to change the plot too much.

After a day's sailing, William and the others were faced with a sudden violent storm, and they had to choose to dock their boats in a huge reef nearby.

"Did you hear any strange noises?" asked Mary, who was very hearing, suddenly.

"Maybe it's the sound of the wind or the sound of the waves!" replied Nochigao after a moment's thought. After all, the weather is stormy now, and it is inevitable that you will hear it wrong.

"No, it seems to be the voice of a person, probably in this direction. Mary said, pointing to the reef. In order to confirm whether she heard it wrong, Mary also used the orc form to determine the source of the sound, and the ears of rabbits are already much more sensitive than humans, so they can naturally hear more clearly.

"I'll take a look!" With that, William had already left the boat with moon steps. In this raging storm, he is the only one who can come and go freely.

William found a hole in the reef, and only after he realized that there was no danger did he slowly enter to find out. The entrance to the cave is not big, with William's height, he has to bend his waist to barely enter, and this stone cave is not very deep, after advancing less than ten meters, William has already touched the hole low. Through the dim light, William noticed that there was only a few junk and a ragdoll teddy bear, and it looked a little older.

"Don't go!" a startled voice immediately stood up, only to hit his head hard against the hard stone wall.

"Who is it?" asked William, holding his aching head. He was pretty sure there could be no one else but him, and that there was no place for a second person to hide in the cave.

"Don't look at it, little ghost, I'm here!" the shabby ragdoll teddy bear said suddenly.

"What are you?" William was really frightened, there was actually a talking ragdoll teddy bear here, in this thunderstormy weather, in this damp and gloomy stone cave, a shabby rag doll teddy bear actually spoke, could there be anything more terrifying than this?

"I'm nothing. My name is Francis Paul, and I'm a pirate!" said the self-proclaimed puppet teddy bear.

"Are you a pirate?" William stared at Francis Paul suspiciously, as a shabby raged ragdoll teddy bear said it was a pirate, no doubt the equivalent of a three-year-old child calling himself a pirate.

"Yes, your grandfather must have heard of my Francis Paul's reputation when he was a child. Francis Paul said proudly.

"And how old are you?" William didn't believe what Francis Paul said, and his grandfather had never heard of the name, because he wasn't from this world at all.

"I don't remember exactly, when I was a human, I was over seventy years old. Francis Bao sighed and said with some sadness.

"If you were a human before, why did you become like this?" asked William, curious. In his cognition, there is indeed a fruit that has the ability to turn people into toys.

"It's a long story, but I'm actually a Devil Fruit ability who ate the Fruit of Snatching. Towards the end of my life, I discovered that a young man in a straw hat had great potential, and had an accident while taking his body. Francis Paul's tone was tinged with reluctance and hatred.

It was the first time William had heard of the name "Takeaway Fruit", but judging from the name, it should be the ability to take away other people's bodies, right? William was frightened and hurriedly took a few steps back, for fear that his body would be taken away.

"You don't have to be so afraid of me, I can only use this ability once in my life. Now that my soul has been united to this body, it is impossible to take your body away. Seeing William hurriedly retreating, Francis Paul also hurriedly explained, for fear that he would flee directly.

Although he heard Francis Bao say that the ability to take the fruit can only be used once, William still did not dare to move forward, and carefully sailed the ship of ten thousand years. However, the ability of this fruit reminded William of the Huangquan fruit, which is also a very chicken fruit, but once the fruit ability is activated, it is still very strange.

"I want to ask, what's the name of the young man in the straw hat?" In William's memory, the people wearing straw hats were not very large, there were only three in total: Roger, Shanks, and Luffy.

However, William knew that the young man in the straw hat was definitely not Luffy, which meant that the young man in Francis Paul's mouth might be one of Roger or Shanks.

"It's been so long, I can't remember exactly, it seems to be Roger's, right?" said Francis Paul, who thought for a moment.

One Piece Gore D. Roger? William was taken aback, thinking to himself how old this Muppet Teddy Bear was? If he had been a young Gore D. Roger, wouldn't that mean that this Muppet Teddy Bear was at least a hundred-year-old monster.

"I don't think you were much better before, otherwise how could you end up like this!" William said disdainfully. How strong could the young Gore D. Roger be, and Francis Paul's luck was extremely bad not only because he failed to take the throne, but also turned himself into a ragdoll teddy bear.
