Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

He had already received the letter Vivi had sent with her, and learned that Crocodile was the mastermind behind the rebellion in the country. He never expected Crocodile's purpose to be this.

Cobra pointed to a huge stone tablet deep within the tomb, inscribed with mysterious writing:

"That is the Poneglyph that our Nefit family has guarded for generations. Is there anything you're looking for on it?"

Cobra stared at Robin, waiting for her answer.

If Robin's goal is the Poneglyph that records the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapons, then he will not hesitate to choose to perish together with Robin.

That kind of weapon shouldn't fall into the hands of malicious people.

Robin's gaze was instantly drawn to the boulder. She strode forward, her fingertips trembling as she traced the cold, ancient characters, her eyes gleaming with the longing she had sought for twenty years.

She read it word by word, but her expression gradually changed from initial excitement to solemnity, and finally to a silent disappointment.

"no....."

Just then, Robin's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around abruptly. Upon seeing who it was, cold sweat instantly soaked her back.

At the entrance, a blood-soaked figure exuding a violent aura leaned on a golden hook, blocking the only escape route.

Why is Crocodile, who should have been defeated by Luffy, here?

"Cough, hahaha!"

Crocodile let out a hoarse, triumphant laugh, the smoke from his cigar mingling with the stench of blood.

"Where is Hades, as recorded in the Poneglyphs? Tell me, Nico Robin!"

"This text only records the history of the Alabasta royal family; it makes no mention of the ancient weapon Pluto." Robin forced himself to remain calm, trying to keep his voice steady:

"We've got the wrong one."

"impossible!"

Crocodile roared, his eyes bloodshot.

He didn't believe that there was no information about ancient weapons recorded on it, nor did he want to believe it.

I've been scheming here for so many years, only to learn about the history of a royal family? What a joke!

"I've been searching for so many years, and you're telling me this is just a broken family chronicle?"

I think you want to monopolize Hades, don't you? Yes, you betrayed me long ago.

Crocodile's facial muscles were still contorting.

He looked at Robin and Cobra, who were trapped in the tomb, with a mocking expression: "Since you won't talk, then you can sleep here forever with this boring stone."

Before I came in, I had already destroyed one of the key stone pillars supporting the tomb. This place will soon collapse completely.

Choose: die with the secret, or tell me where that thing is.

Before Crocodile could finish speaking, Robin suddenly activated her ability:

"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom - Hook Claw!"

Several arms grew out of Cobra's body, trying to forcibly throw him towards the exit.

"Hmph, I was prepared for you all along, Nico Robin."

Crocodile was prepared, and with a flick of his golden hook, he precisely slashed through Robin's arm, which was the source of her power!

Fresh blood immediately gushed from her fair arm.

Robin winced in pain.

"Don't try any tricks on me!" Crocodile walked towards Robin.

Just now.

Boom!

A large hole suddenly appeared in the top of the tomb, letting in light along with a steaming figure.

"Hey, what did you do to my partner?!"

Amidst the rising dust, Luffy landed steadily, his gaze coldly fixed on Crocodile beneath his low-brimmed straw hat.

I've been trying my best to get here.

It's not for any other reason.

So, plans change very quickly. No one can beat them in their fickleness. Just a few hours ago, they wanted him to study with Vivi, but now they want him to go find Robin.

Most importantly, Luffy couldn't find Robin for a while!

Fortunately, my Observation Haki is effective enough.

Crocodile released his aura without any restraint, and Luffy found his way here in an instant.

Everything is just right.

"Straw Hat Boy, you're still alive?!"

Crocodile was filled with shock and disbelief.

This guy was pricked by his own poison needle, why isn't he dead yet!

Are rubber people really that resilient?

"It seems like I've disappointed you, but let's continue our fight."

Luffy grinned.

Without any further ado, Luffy was enveloped in surging steam as he activated Gear Second.

His figure flashed like a red lightning bolt, and his fist, wreathed in Armament Haki, slammed into Crocodile in an instant.

"asshole!"

Crocodile hastily raised his hook to block.

boom! !

The immense force slammed him away, and he quickly transformed into elements in mid-air, becoming a sandstorm to dissipate the force.

He knew how powerful Luffy's Haki was, and dared not take it head-on again.

"You'd better die here too!"

Crocodile roared and slammed one hand into the ground:

"Erosion of Reincarnation!"

Centered on his palm, a terrifying power instantly spread, rapidly draining the moisture from stone pillars, the ground, and everything it touched, causing them to quickly turn into sand and disintegrate.

He wanted to forcefully create the perfect desert environment for him to perform within the cramped tomb.

Sandstorms and sand blades, accompanying the changing terrain, relentlessly attacked Luffy, even deliberately affecting Robin and Cobra nearby, intending to distract Luffy from rescuing them.

"Tsk!"

Luffy clicked his tongue. Faced with such a shameless fighting style, his eyes narrowed, and the strange white flame cloud around him suddenly surged!

Then, both fists grew bigger.

With open palms, like two soft rubber shields, one hand carefully scooped up the injured Robin, while the other protected King Cobra.

Chapter 121 Robin's Genuine Belonging

"If you're using your hands to protect them, what will you use to attack me?!"

Seeing this, Crocodile let out a mocking sneer and urged the sandstorm on even more recklessly.

"Who told you I only have hands?"

"Can't you use your feet?"

"Rubber, White Stamp!"

The giant arm protecting Robin and Cobra suddenly stretched backward, like a giant slingshot, providing Luffy's body with terrifying propulsion.

Using this power, his body shot out like a cannonball, and his right leg, covered in Armament Haki, tore through the air like a battle axe, slashing straight at Crocodile.

"So fast!"

Crocodile was shocked, and the sand wall he had hastily assembled was easily kicked apart like paper!

He tried to transform into an elemental form to dodge, but the dark shadow was too fast and too fierce.

Pfft!

The domineering foot slammed into Crocodile's chest, and he clearly heard the sound of his sternum shattering.

"Rubber-White Stamp Machine Gun!"

Without pausing, we must take care of this guy this time.

With a final, powerful kick, Crocodile was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood as he was sent flying upwards, crashing through layer after layer of the floor and finally emerging from the breach in the royal tomb!

.......

Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside the city of Arubana.

The sounds of fighting, clashing weapons, roars and wails mingled together, and blood stained the yellow sand.

War has driven people to a bloodthirsty rage.

Vivi and the Straw Hat crew rushed into the battlefield, shouting at the top of their lungs in an attempt to stop the infighting.

"Stop! Everyone stop! Crocodile's plot has been exposed!"

Vivi's voice sounded so faint amidst the clamor of millions.

"Princess Vivi!"

Bell, covered in wounds, descended from the sky and landed beside Vivi, anxiously saying, "The seeds of hatred and suspicion have been sown deep, and no one will listen... But thanks to Miss Robin's reminder, the bombs in the palace and everywhere else have been defused!"

Vivi was taken aback; she hadn't expected Robin to do this.

But now is not the time to think about it in detail.
