The year 1517 of the sea calendar.

Desert Kingdom, Alabastan, Rainland.

Alabastan is a country where most of the land is desert, and even in the rainforest-covered city, the air is still a little arid, and the sun is so hot that everyone is a little strained.

in a café.

A dark-haired mature woman wears a small tank top and looks a little seductive.

She was holding her chin and looking through the book in her hand with interest, her fingers tapping her cheek little by little.

For others, it is a time to run for life, and for this woman, this time is just a leisurely afternoon tea.

At this moment, someone pushed open the door of the café and walked in, and a somewhat chaotic footstep made the woman frown slightly, and a young man and a group of people wearing auspicious clouds and black robes walked in.

"I'm sorry, it's not open today..."

The black-haired woman was still looking at the book to herself, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she refused the visitor without the slightest apology on her face.

It's a pity that the comer is not good.

The young man at the head took out a bounty order and hung it in front of the black-haired woman, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Naraku Uehara, and I am now the leader of a mercenary organization who has been looking for you since I came to this land."

After Naraku Uehara finished introducing herself, she held up the bounty with a kind face and said with a smile: "Nicole Robin, a dangerous woman who has been crowned with a bounty of 79 million since she was eight years old, but now it looks like you have grown up a lot and become a very charming woman..."

"What?"

The black-haired woman's face showed a look of danger, she slowly put down the book in her hand, raised her head to look at the young man in front of her, and returned a sweet smile: "I'm really sorry, you have found the wrong person!" ”

"Oh?"

Uehara's brows suddenly furrowed, he flipped through his bounty order, glanced at the black-haired woman in front of him again, and said with some confusion on his face: "No, did I really recognize the wrong person?" ”

After finishing speaking, Naraku Uehara sat down on his own, waved his hand casually, and said, "Everyone sit down first, in case I really recognize the wrong person, then I invite you to have a cup of afternoon tea... Whoever, help me find a juice here. ”

"Yes, Naraku-sama."

A white-haired young man with glasses pushed his glasses, nodded respectfully, and began to rummage through the café on his own.

The other people in the black robes of Xiangyun quickly sat down, as if they didn't take the owner of the café seriously at all.

"It shouldn't be!"

Naraku Uehara stared at the black-haired mature woman a little rudely, he flipped through the bounty order in his hand, shook his head and sighed, "Tsk, I should find a way to get a bounty order for Nicole Orbia, so you shouldn't refute it..."

“……”

The next moment, the dark-haired woman heard the familiar name, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, because Nicole Orbia was her mother!

Yes.

She was indeed Nicole Robin.

Since he was a child, he was crowned with a huge bounty of 79 million because he was the last archaeologist in the world, which is not inferior to the bounty of some sea pirates!

It's a pity that she doesn't have enough strength to take on this bounty!

These guys in auspicious clouds and black robes are obviously not good, they even know about her mother, these guys have already identified her identity!

The black-haired woman looked at the people present, her eyes gradually became a little dangerous, her fingers suddenly stirred, and a string of petals appeared in the air out of thin air!

The next moment, two white arms suddenly appeared out of thin air on Uehara's shoulders, and the flipping of their palms was about to break the young man's neck!

That's what Nicole Robin is capable of!

The legendary Devil Fruit, the secret treasure of the sea, the Superhuman Flower Fruit, can appear anywhere with an arm made of petals!

Today, however, she is destined to encounter an enemy that she cannot resist!

"Nicole Robin, don't do anything too dangerous."

Naraku Uehara raised his head slowly, and a cloud of thunder and lightning suddenly appeared on his body, directly shattering his two arms into petals and disappearing!

A flash of surprise flashed in Nicole Robin's eyes, she just stared at the man in front of her, and her heart gradually sank: "This is... Is it a natural fruit? ”

In this world, there are three types of Devil Fruits, Superhuman, Animal, and Natural, and it is no surprise that the power of the Natural Fruit is considered to be the top fruit!

The fact that the Natural Fruit cannot be damaged by physical attacks alone is enough for those with the Natural Fruit to take out most of the enemies, especially since Nico Robin joined a company last year that the owner of that company, Klockdahl, also owns the Natural Fruit!

Therefore, Nicole Robin is well aware of the power of nature's fruits!

In particular, the Thunder Fruit, which is known as the most powerful natural fruit in the legend, is even stronger than the rustling fruit of that boss!

Finished...

A drop of cold sweat fell from Nicole Robin's forehead.

Now the Klockdahl, who claimed to have sheltered her temporarily, was not in the Rainland, and there was no one in the entire Rainland who could resist the young man in front of him.

"Hehe..."

Uehara slowly stretched out his finger and said with a chuckle: "Nicole Robin, speaking of which, compared to the Thunder Fruit, you should be more afraid of this Fruit ability, right?" ”

After saying that, a cold breath spread from Uehara's fingers and landed on the coffee in front of Nicole Robin, and the cup of coffee was instantly turned into an ice hockey ball!

Nicole Robin watched this scene in amazement, and boundless fear suddenly spread in her heart, making her face full of horror in an instant!

Freezing ability!

If she remembers correctly, this fruit ability should be in the man who once plunged her into a nightmare, the Navy's highest combat power Admiral Pheasant!

How did it end up here now?

However, what frightened Nico Robin even more was not these fruit abilities, but the young man in front of him who seemed to hold everything in his hands!

This young man who calls himself Naraku Uehara knows his past and even knows everything about himself!

After a long time.

Nico Robin slowly clenched her fingers, her composure regained to her, she looked up at Naraku Uehara and said, "Your Excellency... What the hell is sacred..."

"What a cleverness!"

The white-haired young man with glasses walked over and put a glass of juice in front of Naraku Uehara before looking at Nicole Robin and said, "Naraku-sama Uehara, who is sitting in front of you, is a true god..."

The person who spoke was none other than Naraku Uehara's number one henchman, Yakushidou.

"Pocket, it's over."

Naraku Uehara waved his hand, motioned for the medicine master to step back, and then looked at Nico Robin again: "I'm just a mortal with a little bit of power... Okay, let's not talk about anything else, you should know you can't escape. ”

Naraku Uehara spread out his palm, played with the thunder and lightning in his palm, and continued softly: "I heard that there is a company in Alabastan called Baroque Workshop that is doing well, and it just so happens that I am planning to find a part-time job recently..."

“……”

Find a part-time job!

Nicole Robin's forehead couldn't help but jump.

Such a powerful person actually said that he was looking for a part-time job!

Not only Nicole Robin, but the entire café couldn't help but jump on their foreheads, they inexplicably felt as if someone was going to be unlucky!

Naraku Uehara didn't care about the expressions of everyone present, and continued to himself: "I heard that the main messenger behind this Baroque work society is Mr. Klockdahl, one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, and I myself have great respect for him and want to contribute to his cause..."

“……”

Nicole Robin's eyelids couldn't help but tremble.

To tell the truth, just the two Devil Fruit powers displayed by Naraku Uehara, Nico Robin feels that Naraku Uehara can hang Klockdahl up and fight!

If there is no conspiracy for Naraku Uehara to join the Baroque Workshop, Nicole Robin feels that her books for so many years have been in vain...

The expressions of those in the café in the black robes of Xiangyun were also a little subtle, and their gaze slowly moved and stopped at a dark person who was trembling all over...

Obviously, they all knew that Naraku Uehara contributed to the cause of someone here last time, and they all saw the end of that person.

Is...

The kind that pits people to death and makes people pay for their lives!

"Your Excellency, it doesn't seem necessary to do this, does it?"

Nicole Robin maintained the composure on her face and said softly, "With Your Excellency's strength, it seems that Klockdahl is no match for you... There's no need for such a thing, is it? ”

Naraku Uehara also spread out his palms and said faintly, "It's necessary... If I get into any trouble in the future, I can push it on his head! ”

Nicole Robin: "......"

Is it really good to let Klocodahl take the blame so openly!

And the trouble caused by a character like you, can Klockdahl's head really withstand it?

"Well, I don't mean to consult with you."

Naraku's face gradually became serious, he looked at Nico Robin, and said calmly: "Now you have two choices, first, join our Xiao organization, essentially become my subordinate, and then let me join the Baroque studio in Klockdahl..."

After finishing speaking, Naraku Uehara continued to stare at Nico Robin, his face gradually became a little indifferent, and a chill gradually appeared on his body: "As for the second option..."

"I'll pick one!"

Nicole Robin gritted her teeth.

"But you're not sincere."

Naraku Uehara shook her head, glanced at her system display panel, and shouted at the people in the café, "Hey, you guys, who is going to kill her?" ”

"Hmph, I'll do it! That's 79 million! ”

"Wait!"

Nicole Robin's face was a little ugly, she looked at Naraku Uehara and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I already promise you?" ”

"I said, you're not sincere enough."

Naraku Uehara took the juice and smacked the straw expressionlessly, and he continued softly, "Don't worry, when you're dead, we'll still have a way to use your body and soul... There is no shortage of ways to use the dead, and we are not lacking! ”

“……”

Nicole Robin's face became more and more ugly, and she looked at Naraku Uehara and continued, "How do you have to believe it!" And if you use power to threaten others to join this method, you can't expect the people who join to be loyal to you! ”

"yes..."

Naraku Uehara nodded slowly, and glanced at Nico Robin in surprise: "Since you are not loyal enough, that's why I said that I want to kill you and use your body and soul directly, which is good for all of us!" ”

“……”

Are you talking about people?

What the hell is this!

Nicole Robin feels like she's going crazy, after so many years of wandering on the sea, she hasn't seen such a neurotic as Naraku Uehara!

She's really not afraid of death...

But she didn't want to die without seeing the truth of history.

Just when Nicole Robin was a little desperate, a handsome young man suddenly spoke: "Hey, Uehara, isn't it a little bad for us to persecute a woman like this?" Let me control her directly with the Sharingan! ”

"Spells can too..."

Another red-haired young man also continued, "It's better for me to control her brain with the sand of the submersible brain..."

"Nope."

Another terrifying-looking man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I think we should kill her, exchange her head for a bounty, and then use her remaining corpse for reincarnation, so that we don't delay..."

"I also agree with the opinions of Kakuto's predecessors."

"Yes."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, the whole café suddenly became lively.

Only Nico Robin is in the red, although she doesn't understand the moves these people say, she still understands the brain, the corpse and the head!

Nicole Robin regretted very much, why was she reading a book and drinking afternoon tea in this café today, what kind of people she saw today!

"Okay, I'll be able to do her again..."

Naraku Uehara's palm rested on the table, looking down at Nicole Robin, who was a little limp, and staring at the horror on her face.

A chill gradually spread under Naraku's palm, and he continued in a cold voice: "Last chance, do you want to choose to join Akatsuki now and never betray Akatsuki?" That way you can survive and have someone to protect you forever. ”

“……”

Nicole Robin's lips curled and nodded.

"I promise."

"Very good."

Naraku Uehara slowly puffed up his palms and sat down again, his expression returning to lazy and casual: "Then tell us the news on the sea first!"

By the way, help me prepare a list of the members of the Baroque work club, I'll see who to get rid of, and then put our people in..."

Meanwhile.

Uehara's system panel prompts two completed tasks.
