“ Sunday。”

Townsend squinted at the woman standing in the carriage.

"Nicole Robin?"

Known as the "Son of the Devil", this woman has a rare ability to read ancient characters, and will later join the Straw Hats.

Townsend was intrigued by the man.

Of course, it is not because of the other party's ability to read ancient literature, Townsend does not need this ability, because he can read any text himself.

What he needs is the other party's management skills and understanding of the dark world.

Nicole Robin was saddled with a bounty of tens of millions of Baileys as a child, so much so that for twenty years after escaping her homeland, she escaped from her homeland and wandered through the underworld, surviving with her clever mind and cunning.

Betrayal and betrayal are just the daily life of Nicole Robin, and such a character is very suitable to be her own substitute in the dark world.

Of course, there is another character, Townson, who is also interested.

MR.2, Von Kree.

In the original book, this is a ladyboy who values love and righteousness, and because of a brief encounter with the Straw Hats, he developed a friendship, so in order to help the Straw Hats escape, he was finally captured by the Navy and put in a large prison under the sea, and he also played a great role in the subsequent robbery of Luffy.

Tang Sen doesn't value the other party's affection and righteousness, he values the other party's ability.

Superhuman lineage, imitating fruit.

He had a bold idea - if the other party turned into his own form, he would be able to give other people the Dark Lord mark?

His previous experiment of disguising himself as someone else to harvest loyalty has failed, because the conditions for giving the Dark Lord's mark need to be clearly directed, and it can't be someone who already exists in this world, but if von Clay becomes himself, won't the other's directivity be directed to himself?

The outcome of this scenario is yet to be tested, but only if you first gain von Kree's loyalty.

"Hey, hey! Don't be impulsive, Luffy! ”

Usopp grabbed Luffy, who was about to rush up, and shouted, "There are six people on the other side!" ”

"There are seven of us!" Luffy shouted.

"Eight!" Chopper raised his hooves and corrected.

"There are a lot of us!" Luffy's morale is booming.

"Do you want to do the math, it's only the three of you who can fight!" Usopp glanced at Tang Sen: "Even if you add this gunman, there are only four people." ”

"Why do you care so much! Let's talk about it! Luffy didn't bother to think about this, and his arm stretched out directly, grabbing Nicole Robin.

Nicole Robin didn't move, but a strong figure jumped up directly, and his arm turned into a blade in an instant, slashing towards Luffy's hand.

Luffy suddenly retracted his arm.

"It's so dangerous, this person can turn his body into a blade!"

"Then leave it to me." Zoro slowly drew three knives, bowed his waist, and rushed towards the opponent.

The sound of blades clashing suddenly sounded under the moonlight.

In addition to Nicole Robin, the other four people from the Baroque studio pounced directly, Usopp and Nami fled in fright, and Luffy laughed and threw his fist at the fat woman in the front.

The fat woman's body changed instantly, her facial features were distorted like a mole, her nails grew in an instant, she was short, and she burrowed into the ground to avoid Luffy's attack.

At the same time, Von Clay spun and jumped close, and a whip leg was whipped towards Luffy's head.

"Your opponent is me." Sanji greeted him, leg to leg.

Luffy simply caught up with the remaining three.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

Tang Sen didn't make the first move, just stood aside and observed the situation, obviously, Sanji was okay in the face of von Clay and was able to stabilize his head, but Zoro gradually fell into disadvantage in the face of the ability to quickly chop fruits that could turn his body into steel.

Before he knew it, several wounds had been added to his body, but the other party was unharmed - with his current strength, there was no way to cut the steel.

As for Monchi M. D. Luffy, although he is considered the most powerful in the Straw Hats, is in a hurry in the siege of the remaining three Devil Fruit Abilities.

"Things are looking a little bad." Vivi looked at Nicole Robin, who had never done anything, "What went wrong to make the top management of the Baroque studio pour out." ”

"Why are there so many Devil Fruit Abilities! All of them are like monsters! Usopp lay behind a rock, probing his head and peering over the battlefield.

"It's over, it's dead this time."

"Hey, that one named Town, aren't you going to go up and help?"

"Why should I help the pirates?" Tang Sen was expressionless: "If they only have this bit of strength, and they can't even beat these minions, then it's a good thing to fall here." ”

"I've said a long time ago that you can't deal with Klockdahl by talking big."

He snapped his fingers, a flame ignited above the carriage, and the next moment, his figure appeared in front of Nicole Robin.

Nicole Robin was startled, folded her hands, and several arms suddenly grew out of Tang Sen's body, and the arms cleanly controlled Tang Sen's joints, and then exerted force without hesitation.

Click.

Townsen's neck was directly twisted.

Vivi suddenly let out a scream, and just wanted to rush over to help, but saw Townsen's body slowly turn into a paper figure and burn out in the flames, and the next moment, Townsend had appeared behind Nicole Robin.

Nicole Robin reacted quickly and was about to dodge, but suddenly felt powerless, and his abilities disappeared in an instant.

Tang Sen's hand was on the other party's shoulder, and in the palm of his hand, the coin of the Hailou Stone continued to play a role.

This is the importance of intelligence, Tang Sen knows Nicole Robin's ability, but Nicole Robin doesn't know anything about Tang Sen, after relaxing the other party's vigilance with the paper man stand-in, Tang Sen easily relied on the characteristics of Hailou Stone to subdue the other party.

"You're careless."

Hearing the voice in her ears, Nicole Robin struggled violently to break away from Townsen's control, but lost her ability, and under Townsen's restraint, where was there room for her to resist.

"Who are you?" She could only procrastinate while thinking about a way out.

"Me? You can call me Townsend. ”

Townsend paused, lowering his voice a bit.

"Actually, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other – Nicole Robin."

Nicole Robin's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the land of Alabastan, the only person who knows her true identity is Klockdahl.

Townsend continued: "Didn't you and your boss receive my letter earlier today? ”

"You wrote the letter from the Immortal?" Nicole Robin calmed down and analyzed: "So, you deliberately lured us over, what is your purpose?" Want to stop Klockdahl's plans? Or do you want to plot against Hades? ”

"No, I'm not interested in that." Tang Sen said flatly: "Actually, I know where that thing is, Klokdal's plan is destined to fail, because Hades is not in Alabastan at all. ”

"I'm bringing you here for your own sake."

"For me?" Nicole Robin digested the message in the other person's words.

"I want you to work for me, Nicole Robin." Tang Sen said bluntly: "I fancy your ability, it is too wasteful for someone like you to work for Klokdal." ”

Nicole Robin relaxed, she was all too familiar with the scenes, and juggling between one pirate after another was what she did best.

"I'm afraid Klockdahl won't agree to your request." She said.

"No, he'll say yes." There was a smile in Townsend's tone: "Actually, he is also one of the people I need. ”

"You want Klockdahl to play for you too?" Nicole Robin only felt ridiculous in her heart, she knew Klockdahl's character very well, and she knew that the other party was powerful, and that such a person would never be subservient to others.

But she didn't show any emotion on the surface, just said: "If you can do it, of course I'm willing to work for you, after all, it doesn't make any difference to me, does it?" ”

"Of course there is a difference." Townsend let go of the hand that was holding the other party.

The ability returned to Nicole Robin's body, and she was surprised, but she didn't take the opportunity to attack.

She is a rational person, although she doesn't know what the other party is capable of, but she naturally understands in her heart that since the person in front of her dares to let go of herself, she must have the confidence to subdue herself again.

"Stabilize the other party first."

Nicole Robin suddenly had a plan in her mind, and she asked, "I think I need to at least know what my future boss's purpose is, or rather, what are you going to make me do?" ”

"My purpose?" Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly: "You'll know later." ”

"As for what is expected of you now, rest assured, you don't need to do anything."

He looked at the still chaotic battlefield and said, "I know you're just pretending to be pandering right now, and you have no intention of being loyal to me, but I don't care, Nicole Robin, I know you well, better than anyone else in the world, even yourself." ”

"I can help you achieve your dreams, but of course, at the cost of your loyalty."

"My dreams?" Nicole Robin chuckled: "I don't know what other dreams I have, people who have been living in the dark, living is already the greatest luxury." ”

"If you talk too much like this, you'll be really numb." Tang Sen said flatly: "On your shoulders, you still carry the lifelong wishes of all the scholars of O'Hara that have been destroyed." ”

Nicole Robin's face changed, "You know something! ”

She couldn't help but activate her abilities, and several arms grew out of Tang Sen's body, locking Tang Sen's arms in turn.

"As I said, I know a lot more than you think."

Townwend's voice rang out from behind Nicole Robin again: "For example—"

"A hundred years of history in the blank?"

Nicole Robin's body froze violently.

Tang Sen stretched out his hand, brushed the side of the other party's face, picked up a strand of hair, and played with it without hurry.

"Nicole Robin, I hope this is the last time you'll make a move on me."

"I know." Nicole Robin remained motionless, allowing Townsend to take offense.

"It's just a little bit like that." Tang Sen withdrew his hand, "Don't worry, I don't intend to use this kind of boring reason to pinch you, when the dust settles on the matter in Alabastan, I will tell you everything is just that you can bear the consequences of knowing everything, it's up to you." ”

"If I can know the truth of history, it doesn't matter to me even if I die." Nicole Robin said.

"Death is a very simple thing, but facing reality is very difficult." Townsend paused: "It's harder to change reality. ”

"I still have a lot of things to do, and there are some things that I don't fit to come forward with my face, so I need you, of course, it's too early to say that."

He digressed the subject: "It looks like the swordsman with the green algae head is dying." ”

"Mr.1 is the strongest person in the Baroque studio except for Klockdahl, he used to be a famous killer in the West Sea, and he was personally invited by Klockdahl to join the Baroque studio, even I am not his opponent."

Nicole Robin asked, "The strength of the Straw Hats is indeed good, but there are still some gaps in order to defeat the high-level agents." ”

"Do you need me to stop him? Although he will not necessarily listen to my orders. ”

"No, this battle was deliberately arranged by me." Townsend said calmly: "The Straw Hats need to fight, keep fighting, and only by bringing out their potential can they deal with Klockdahl for me." ”

"Against Klockdahl?" Nicole Robin's face was ridiculous: "Just them? ”

"Don't underestimate them." Townsend smiled: "Although theoretically the gap between them and Klockdahl is indeed very large, however, they are special. ”

"There are always people who can continue to create miracles."

"Miracle." Nicole Robin was silent for a moment: "I thought people like you wouldn't believe in miracles. ”

Although she had only been in contact with Townsend for a short time, from the letter sent by the other party and the conversation just now, she could feel that the other party and Klockdahl seemed to be a kind of person, both rational and cold-blooded, like to hide behind the scenes, manipulate human nature, and are used to taking everything into their own hands.

"Don't define me lightly." Tang Sen glanced at her and said, "However, I really don't believe in miracles, I just believe in the Straw Hats-"

"Of course, if they don't, I have a backup plan."

It is true that Townsend did not pin all his hopes on Monchi. D. Luffy, after all, he has changed the plot a lot, so it is still unknown whether the plot killing will come.

On the bright side, the current gap in strength between Luffy and Klocodahl is indeed like a trench, even with his own help, it is uncertain what the battle situation will be.

"Vivi! Be careful! ”

There was a sudden exclamation from there, but it was Miss. Miss. took advantage of Luffy's burrow into the ground to deal with Miss Merry Christmas, and broke away from the battle with Luffy and sneaked towards Vivi.

Sanji, who was fighting against von Clay on the side, was startled and wanted to withdraw to stop it first, but he was entangled by von Clay and couldn't help shouting.

But it was too late, and the hands of Miss.'s fingers turned into thorns and pierced towards Vivi's chest, who was caught off guard.

At this moment, an extremely harsh voice sounded.

Silently appeared with a devastating aura, and his body expanded, directly wrapping Wei Wei, and the thorns from the change of miss.'s fingers were inserted into the body cast by the silent and violent magical power, and it was directly torn apart in an instant, and blood was dripping.

Tang Sen's figure appeared in the next moment, blocking Weiwei's face.

"It's not a good idea."

"It's going to die."

Happy May Day ~ Asking for a monthly pass!!
