But despite understanding the situation, Crocodile showed no intention of making a move.
He knew that once a fight broke out, he and his men would likely disappear from the world immediately.
Crocodile then did something that shocked his subordinates: he lowered his proud head and told them everything they had done during that time.
Darles looked at Crocodile in disbelief and said...
"Boss... Boss?"
"Shut up! Don't even think about resisting this man!"
To be fair, Crocodile was indeed a ruthless and cunning man; he understood that in this situation, honesty was the best option.
Chiga hadn't expected that Crocodile, who had been so defiant and defiant during the Marineford War, would adopt such a humble attitude; it was quite different from his expectations.
However, Chiga did not intend to let Crocodile off so easily. He slowly walked to the chair at the end of the room, sat down, and crossed his legs.
He placed his hand on the table and found that the spot where his hand was placed was warm. Robin, who was very close to the table, blushed slightly because that was where she had just been sitting.
Chiga glanced at Robin. The current Robin looked a bit younger than in the original anime, but it didn't affect her unique charm.
Unlike Nami, who is a fiery personality in the Straw Hat crew, Robin can be described as having a "motherly" role in the crew.
She is a typical intellectual beauty. She is brave, strong, understanding, and gives people a very reliable feeling.
Robin noticed that Chiga was looking at her, and her heart tightened immediately.
She knew she also had the identity of "Child of the Devil," and if Zi Lin found out about this identity, she probably wouldn't be able to leave today.
She didn't believe that Zi Lin would be as forgiving of her, the "son of the devil," as Qing Zhi was.
Fortunately, Chiga didn't continue looking at her. He quickly shifted his gaze to Crocodile's face and said, seemingly casually,
"So are you sure you've told everyone everything?"
Crocodile's statement was indeed comprehensive, but regarding his purpose, he only mentioned wanting to replace the king, without mentioning "Pluto" at all.
So Chiga still needs to use this to give him a warning.
Crocodile swallowed hard, feeling uneasy and unsure if Chiga knew something.
Seeing that Crocodile remained silent, Chiga didn't say anything more either. He stood up and slowly walked to Robin's side, reaching out a finger to lift her chin amidst her horrified gaze.
Chiga admired Robin's delicate face for a moment, then said softly,
"I never expected that the 'Devil's Child,' who was wanted by the World Government, would become the vice president of Baroque Works. What's your explanation for this?"
Chiga's words exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap. Crocodile felt his hands and feet turn cold. He never expected that Chiga knew so much about Robin's identity.
He knew perfectly well that once Robin's identity was revealed, his so-called Shichibukai status would be truly doomed!
Thinking of this, Crocodile's heart sank, and strands of sand suddenly appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, as if he was about to make a move.
Chiga, however, seemed oblivious to Crocodile's actions. He smiled at Robin, wanting to see how she would react.
Robin's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Looking at Chika in front of her, a sense of despair welled up in her heart.
"It seems I have to stop here!"
Two lines of tears slid down Robin's face. She was not afraid of death; she was only saddened that she had not been able to fulfill her mother's wish to see the true history.
When Chiga saw that Robin was crying, he quickly moved his fingers away.
He just wanted to scare Robin like Aokiji did, but he didn't expect that Robin would break through his defenses so easily.
This made Chiga a little frustrated. Did his face really look that scary? Aokiji was frightened, but he wasn't?
Despite her frustration, Chiga reached out again to wipe away Robin's tears, saying helplessly,
"Alright, stop crying. I have no interest in catching you."
“…?”
Robin remained motionless as Chiga's fingers gently brushed across her face, looking at Chiga with a puzzled expression.
She was somewhat skeptical that Chiga would let her, the "devil's child," go unpunished. She was well aware of her own worth; anyone who captured her would be considered to have accomplished something great, let alone Chiga, a naval admiral.
Faced with Robin's suspicious gaze, Chiga shrugged and said nonchalantly,
"I just don't want to make those idiots in the World Government happy, believe it or not."
These words left everyone present completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, what did they just hear?!
How could Admiral Zilin show such disdain for the World Government, even resorting to blatant and undisguised insults?!
Is this something they can hear?! Does Zi Lin's statement mean she's already decided to silence them?!
Robin's eyes widened in disbelief; she now had serious doubts about whether the young man before her was indeed the legendary Admiral Zilin.
Chiga ignored Robin and only glanced at Crocodile indifferently.
Crocodile was immediately dissuaded from taking a gamble by Chiga's Rinnegan, even if it was just a glance out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately became obedient.
Chiga's gaze swept across the room, and those he saw instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his Rinnegan eyes.
Just as Chiga was pondering how to deal with these people, a lazy-sounding voice rang out from the doorway.
"Oh my, Chiga, you're so fast!"
Chapter 225 Two Great Generals Arrive!
The members of the Baroque Works stiffly turned their necks to look at the entrance.
A tall man in a white suit was standing at the door, lazily watching everyone.
With one hand in his pocket and a green eye patch on his forehead, he looked every bit the unreliable middle-aged man.
But this man made everyone in Baroque Works feel like their hearts couldn't take it, especially Robin.
Because she was all too familiar with the man's appearance; he was none other than Admiral Aokiji!
Crocodile was completely numb; he felt that today was truly the darkest day of his life.
He actually ran into two admirals while doing something wrong!
Moreover, one of them is Zi Lin, who is known as the most powerful general!
What's going on? When did the Navy Admiral become so free? Does a mere Shichibukai deserve these two to personally deal with him?
Is there no justice left in this world?!
Crocodile resignedly let his hands hang limply. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: I'm tired. Let's destroy!
Chiga smiled when he saw Aokiji and teased him.
"Kuzan, I heard from Marshal Sengoku that you set off a long time ago, why are you only arriving now?"
Aokiji was a little embarrassed. He was a complete procrastinator, and since his main purpose this time was to observe Robin, he didn't take a warship. He rode his favorite bicycle for most of the journey.
But he swore that if he had known Chiga was coming, he wouldn't have hesitated, because Robin was still there, a "weak point" for him.
He had overheard Chiga and Robin's conversation at the door, so he knew that Chiga had recognized Robin's identity, which made him feel extremely troubled.
So he quickly showed up, trying to divert Chiga's attention.
Robin's gaze swept over Chiga and Aokiji. Although the two seemed to be joking, an invisible aura still enveloped them.
It was the oppressive aura emanating from a naval admiral; she knew that the two men before her possessed the power to easily destroy the entire Alabasta!
Aokiji glanced at Robin, secretly relieved, and thought to himself,
"Thankfully, this girl hasn't been harmed by Chiga yet..."
If Chiga knew what Aokiji was thinking, she would definitely cry foul.
He just imitated Aokiji and scared Robin a little. Although he scared her to tears, he didn't do anything else!
Chiga stretched and gave Aokiji a meaningful smile, which sent chills down Aokiji's spine.
He felt that Chika was going to make trouble for him because of Robin, which was what Aokiji feared most.
Of course, he wasn't afraid that Chiga would treat him like a criminal. He knew Chiga's character and was always lenient with his own people.
What he feared was that Robin would be taken back by Chiga and handed over to the World Government.
Aokiji has always harbored resentment over the Ohara incident, and Robin is a kind of redemption and spiritual comfort for him.
Moreover, he personally froze his friend Saul for this purpose. (He didn't die.)
Although he often scared Robin, it was just his unique way of expressing concern as a straight man.
If Chiga insists on taking Robin back, he really doesn't know what to do.
After all, Robin is a criminal, and he has a good relationship with Chiga. He can't very well fight Chiga over this, especially since he knows he's unlikely to be a match for Chiga.
Of course, if it were Akainu who came, Aokiji wouldn't be in such a dilemma; he could simply fight!
However, just as Aokiji was in a dilemma, Chiga suddenly appeared in front of him.
He patted Aokiji on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"I've almost finished dealing with things here. Now that you're here, let's have a fight!"
"!?"
Upon hearing this, both Aokiji and the rest of the Baroque Works were stunned.
Zilin, also a Marine Admiral, is going to fight Aokiji?! What's going on?!
Aokiji frowned, somewhat confused by Chiga's meaning.
Suddenly, Chiga stretched out a hand, and wisps of icy Yellow Springs energy rose from his palm, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop abruptly.
Apart from Chiga and Aokiji, everyone else suddenly felt a chill.
Aokiji stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the Yellow Springs Cold Aura in Chika's hand.
As a top-tier Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of the Yellow Spring's chilling aura at a glance.
Even he was amazed by the low temperature.
He couldn't help but ask,
"Is this yet another new Devil Fruit ability? What kind of Devil Fruit is it?"
Chiga did not answer Aokiji's question immediately. He glanced at Robin behind him, then clenched his fingers, and the chilling aura of the underworld dissipated.
