Above the sea, a battle has come to an end.

The ship called the 'Chiroku Natural Pill' floated silently on the sea, because its owner had been defeated.

And on the deck of the Black Cat next to it,

"Heroes spare their lives~~"

A man known as the 'third brother' fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"We are all forced, if we can't complete the task of the president, we will be hunted down by higher-ranking cadres!"

This one has a '3'-shaped hair on the top of his head, is of medium height, wears glasses, thick lips, and wears a striped shirt, looking polite. Named 'Gal Tino', codenamed 'Mr.3' in the Baroque atelier, the man threw himself to the ground.

"Heroes don't remember villains, so let the little ones ,—— a fart."

"Ibid.;"

Next to the weeping Gar Dino, a little girl sat upright, expressionlessly following her colleague to 'admit her mistake'.

She wore long dark red ponytail hair and a childish face. Wears a wide-brimmed pink hat decorated with a green belt. He wears a light blue floral shirt with a dark blue undershirt with the word 'golden' on it. She wears a dark red skirt, blue and white markinged socks, and a pair of red sneakers.

The little girl is the partner of 'Mr.3',

Codenamed 'Ms. Golden Week', his real name is Marianu and he is a painter.

It looks like a little girl who hasn't grown up at all, but it's actually only a year younger than Luffy.

"The little one is just a poor worker, heroes and the company... Ahem, whatever grudges the damn Baroque studio has, it has nothing to do with me. ”

In order to survive, 'Mr. 3' continues to defend himself; The little girl next to her took out a piece of fairy shellfish and opened her mouth while chewing.

"Ibid.;"

"Ahem, if the heroes are not angry, I can provide the identities of the other cadres of the Baroque workshop-"

Seeing the expressionless faces of several teenagers and girls in front of him, 'Mr.3' had to start selling his teammates.

"Same... Well, forget it, I'm not going to betray anyone else. ”

Kneeling next to her, Mariannu, the little girl who almost said 'ditto', finished eating the senbei, took out another cup of tea and took a sip. Don't look at her as just a little girl, in fact, she unexpectedly attaches great importance to her partner:

In the original timeline, the cadres of the Baroque studio were almost wiped out by the Straw Hats, and she went to rescue everyone from prison.

"You two, are you here to perform cross talk?"

Zoro couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the anger that had been generated by the other party's sudden attack was gone.

'Mr.3' Gar Tino is a candle fruit capable of making candles: he is also a member of the 'super-creation' ability in the 'superhuman line', along with Dover and Torrebol. But in addition to a fairly good candle shape and a candle development as solid as steel, Gar Dinno's own strength is almost equal to zero.

This kind of guy who is extremely dependent on the ability of the fruit has encountered Luffy and a few of them head-on, and it is already a success if he was not killed on the spot.

As for the little girl next to her, 'Miss Golden Week' Marianu has the ability to control other people's feelings through the paint of the color palette, and has a strong ability to 'control'. But in the face of Luffy and the others, who have begun to take on a slightly rudimentary form of domineering, her ability to launch slowly has no chance to be displayed at all.

However, Rosie does not underestimate this little girl: because Mariannu is not a Devil Fruit ability, her ability is essentially a certain natural 'domineering of seeing and hearing', and she can forcibly influence the minds of others with the help of paint.

The ultimate ultimate, 'Dream Rainbow', can even interfere with reality with spirits, manifesting objects and clothes out of thin air! Definitely one of the most gifted monsters in this world.

It's a pity that she has no ambition and just wants to be a painter, otherwise there will be one more top powerhouse on the sea.

"And aren't the heroes bounty hunters?"

"Our goal in the Baroque studio is to build a country without 'pirates', so why don't you join in? With your strength, you will definitely be able to be reused by the president..."

Seeing that Luffy and the others had no intention of 'mending the knife', Gar Dino, who was getting bolder and bolder, even began to try to lobby everyone.

That's right, the Baroque studio is still a 'righteous' organization on the surface, and the propaganda slogan is to eliminate all pirates.

"Don't hide it, Mr.3!"

However, Vivi, who infiltrated the Baroque workshop and became a mid-level cadre, had already sensed the darkness hidden in this organization.

"The Baroque studio is behind the internal turmoil in the Kingdom of Alabastan, right? And that mysterious president is—"

"Miss. Wednesday,"

Just when Vivi couldn't help but say the name, an intellectual voice interrupted her.

"Looks like you know a lot."

？！

Everyone turned around, and on the cabin of the Black Cat, there was an intellectual beauty sitting at some point.

"But the more you know, the faster you'll die."

burst

Rosie, who was silently watching the play in the sky, almost couldn't hold back his laughter: Can you imagine Robin, who is intellectually elegant, creeping to the top of the cabin for the shocking effect of his appearance, and then suddenly speaking?

Have a fight with a big boss who moves people down the stairs during a certain 'pause time'.

"Who are you?"

Luffy, who had his hands in his pockets, raised his head, in fact, he had already discovered Robin's existence: this boat was filled with a faint electric current, which normal people couldn't feel at all, but it was Luffy's perception domain.

Even if the domineering spirit has not been fully awakened, the fruit ability can develop the same effect.

"Miss. All Sunday?!"

Seeing the person who came, the surprised Weiwei shouted out the identity of the other party, and then quickly explained to Luffy and the others:

"He's the partner of the owner of the Baroque studio, 'Mr.0', and the one who actually controls the entire Baroque studio: I followed her and discovered the darkness behind the studio!"

"Tracking, hehe~~"

Sitting at the top of the cabin, with her long legs crossed and her chin propped up, the intellectual beauty smiled.

If it weren't for her deliberately revealing her whereabouts, Vivi would have been able to track her, the 'son of O'Hara' who has been hunted down by countless people since she was a child. Reminding the Kingdom of Alabastan in this obscure way is Robin's greatest 'conscience' as a normal person.

Whether it is so-called 'morality' or 'justice', it can only restrain good people.

For the strong who do whatever they want, even if they die hundreds of thousands, millions of ordinary people, they will not blink an eye.

"Princess, do you think that by finding so many bounty hunters, you can defeat the Baroque Studio and save the Kingdom of Alabastan? It's naïve—"

Crackling

However, as soon as Robin's words were spoken, in a flash of lightning, Luffy had already landed on the top of the cabin, standing next to Robin.

So fast!

Is it lightning? Could it be... Also the Department of Nature?!

If it's nature, maybe he... No, no matter how you look at it, this is only a half-grown teenager, and it is impossible to defeat the cunning sand crocodile.

In an instant, several thoughts swirled through Robin's mind, but her face remained silent, only tilting her head slightly.

"Hee-hee-hee, thank you for your advice, but we're pretty strong."

Luffy, who showed his eight-petal teeth, smiled confidently, pointed his thumb at himself, and the bright smile made Robin can't help but squint his eyes.

"Anyone can do it if it's safe to shout and scream."

"After facing a strong enemy that is difficult to resist, can you still maintain this calm?"

After saying that, Robin's eyes fell on 'Mr.3' Gar Tino and 'Ms. Golden Week' Marianu who were kneeling on the deck, making Gal Tino's unlucky face change.

"According to the rules, I should have killed you two losers. But—"

Glancing at Luffy next to him, Robin stood up.

"Since I have encountered an unexpected strong enemy, then I have no choice but to retreat: this captain, aren't you going to take me?"

"No, you're not our enemy."

Hearing this, Robin glanced at Luffy again with interest.

"Interesting, I hope you can say something like that when you get to Alabastan."

————

After locking the 'Assassin' 'Mr.3' Gal Tino and 'MS. Golden Week' Mariannou sent by the Baroque Studio into the cabin below, Luffy and the others began to discuss the next questions:

"In other words, our next enemy is the Sand Crocodile Klockdahl, one of the 'Seven Martial Seas'?"

After Zoro finished speaking, Vivi added:

"And the Baroque workshop he heads."

"You can't underestimate Baroque work just because of the experience of Whiskey Island: I am only a middle-level cadre, and the strength of the high-level cadres is very different from ours!"

"It turned out to be 'Seven Martial Seas'~~"

Luffy suddenly realized, in fact, he didn't have any accurate understanding of the title of 'Seven Martial Seas' at all.

"It's supposed to be a strong enemy, right?"

Zoro is also excited, only by constantly defeating the masters can he prove that he is a 'strong man'.

···

"Although the hot-blooded boy should be indomitable, you must at least have a clear understanding of the enemy you are going to face, right?"

Rosie can't stand it anymore, because of the influence he brings, Luffy didn't eat the 'Sun God' Nika fruit, so naturally he doesn't have the ability to sit up that can't be killed no matter how he fights, as for whether he still has the luck of turning evil into good fortune, Rosie won't count on that kind of thing.

"One of the Seven Martial Seas, the 'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl, is also an old acquaintance of mine."

Since the hijacking of Heavenly Gold to obtain the title of Seven Martial Seas, Rossi has been to the Navy Headquarters twice to meet with Klockdal, plus he has fought in the 'Colosseum Island', so he is very clear about the strength of the Sand Crocodile.

"If I say how strong he is, it will seem hollow, let's put it this way-"

"The 'Hawkeye' Mihawk you met before is one of the Seven Martial Seas."

？？？？

Moment

Luffy, Zoro, and Nami on the deck were all stiff, cold sweat running down their cheeks.

Although Sanji and Chopper had never seen the 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, just by looking at the expressions of the three of them, they knew that they were terrifying powerhouses!

"Is it strong enough?"

Sauron, who usually always looks reliable, couldn't help but tremble with his hands, even if he held the hilt of the knife on his waist, he couldn't stop him from the heart... Shock. You must know that Hawkeye can abuse Sauron to doubt life with one finger, and for Sauron it is like facing the Red Clay Continent: the gap between the two is not even endless.

"Hey, green algae!"

A palm landed on Zoro's shoulder, and Sanji, who usually likes to lift the bar with him, rarely didn't laugh at Zoro.

"Are you alright?"

"Whew... It's me who lost my temper. ”

With a deep exhale, Zoro calmed down.

What about even a desperate enemy? If you don't dare to face it, how can you become stronger?

Abuse vegetables can only be weak, only by defeating stronger enemies, can they grow, become stronger, and then impact the world's number one throne!

】

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have been on this ship and put everyone in crisis-"

Seeing the appearance of the three main players of this team, Weiwei bowed her head and apologized:

Poke!

"What did you say?"

Nami, who came back to her senses, poked a finger on the forehead of the frustrated Vivi,

"Thanks to you, we have already been on the other party's 'blacklist', and now it's too late to back down."

After speaking, Nami, who was carrying a dagger at her waist and a flintlock pistol on her back, and dragging the giant axe 'Blood Roar' that was twice as tall as herself, turned her head:

"You said yes, Luffy?"

"Of course!"

Luffy crossed his waist with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other.

"We're bounty hunters, and there's pirates there, we're there!"

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'll do my best!"

The ignorant Chopper also raised his hooves,

"See, since we want to be 'heroes', we naturally have the consciousness of not flinching even if we die. - So you don't have to feel guilty,"

stepped forward and patted Weiwei's shoulder, Luffy smiled heartily:

"The things in Alabastan are encountered by us, and they are our things!"

What a hot-blooded boy~~

Rosie, who hung in the sky, couldn't help but sigh,

It's a pity that their strength is definitely not as good as that of the sand crocodile, but:

It doesn't matter, I'll shoot-
