scare--

'This person is really scary!'

Weiwei was startled by him again, and for a moment she was too scared to say anything.

"No, boss, that would come across as too domineering. Just relax a bit."

Robin spoke up to offer a timely reminder.

"Really?" Just moments ago, Bittie was quite imposing, but now he instantly lost his composure and collapsed into the chair.

"Forget it, I'm really not suited to pretending to be profound."

The sudden turn of events prompted Weiwei to involuntarily complain.

"Get serious, you bastard! I was locked up like a baby the whole way here, I was terrified!"

"I'll get straight to the point," Bitts said, leaning back in his office chair with his legs propped up on the desk, no longer putting on airs.

"For the past three years, Alabasta has seen no water droplets except in the capital. Now you know who the mastermind behind this is."

"Yeah, I was studying at Baroque Works... and I found out it was Crocodile!"

Weiwei originally wanted to say "undercover agent," but considering that the person in front of her was the new boss of the agency, she changed to a more tactful way of saying it.

But Beetz didn't care about any of that. "I defeated Crocodile and thwarted his plot."

"I'm practically a hero of Alabasta now, the savior of the kingdom, aren't I?"

"This..." Weiwei hesitated, not understanding his purpose.

"Hmm?" (Displeased)

"Yes, yes, of course!" Weiwei nodded vigorously, quickly acknowledging the other party's heroic status on behalf of her father.

Upon hearing this, Bitz's expression softened.

"As a hero, is it alright for me to ask the royal family for some special privileges?"

gudu~

Weiwei swallowed hard, thinking to herself, 'Here it comes, they're about to make their demands.'

"Unless the request is particularly difficult... the royal family is certainly willing to agree."

"Okay, I want it..."

Bitz deliberately drew out his words, and Vivi's hands were sweating nervously as she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

Just when she thought the other party would make some outrageous demands, such as her father's throne, most of the kingdom's territory, and all the gold and silver treasures in the treasury.

Bitz stated his demand: "I want the royal family to grant my casino tax exemption."

"No, I can't... eh?" Vivi started to refuse, but then realized something was wrong.

"Exemption? Tax exemption? You mean your request is for the casino to be exempt from taxes?"

"Why not? Can't the royal family even grant me this small request?"

Bitz looked very unhappy, as if her refusal had angered the other party.

After confirming that the other party really only had this small request, Weiwei quickly waved her hand to explain.

"No, no, no, I mean absolutely no problem, in fact, such a request is completely unworthy of the contributions you have made to this country."

Even if you ask for two more, it's no problem.

"Is that so?" Bitts secretly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Of course!" Vivi patted her own wealth and generosity, agreeing without hesitation.

She even chuckled to herself, 'That's it? I could grant him ten of these little requests without a problem.'

Bits: "Can I buy a few more properties in Rainfield?"

Weiwei: "Of course, no problem. I can even give you a few sets."

Bitz: "Then I can open an amusement park and create a fun street, okay?"

Vivi: "Happy Street? What is that? But if it's for doing business, then of course it's fine."

Bits: "I want to build a new port."

Weiwei: "Sure, that's a good thing. It can also boost economic development."

Bitz: "I also want to..."

. . . . . . .

After that, Bitz made seven or eight more minor requests that were harmless and even beneficial to the kingdom's development.

Weiwei agreed to everything without hesitation.

Even in the end, no matter what Beetz said, she would just agree without thinking, saying "uh-huh, okay".

It was at this moment that Bitts abruptly changed the subject.

"I also want to marry you and become the king consort of Alabasta."

As before, Weiwei readily agreed without even thinking:

"Okay, no problem. It's just marriage, I agree..."

"Huh?" The girl's formulaic smile froze instantly.

He stared wide-eyed, bewildered and incredulous, pointed to himself, then to Beetz, his lips moving several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Her amusing appearance made Beetz unable to hold back any longer, and he burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"Puhahaha, Robin, you see, I told you, even without forcing her, she would have agreed on her own."

This is the first time I've ever seen such an gullible girl; it's hilarious!

Robin, who was silently watching Beetz's performance from the corner, was utterly speechless.

This guy could have easily forced the other party to accept it with force, but he chose to use this trick of deceiving a child. His character is truly despicable.

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 21 The Princess's Day of Suffering, CP0 Deployed

As the victim, Vivi gradually recovered from her initial shock amidst Bitt's laughter.

Glaring at Beetz, who was laughing heartily in front of her, she stood up angrily, tears welling in her eyes, and questioned him:

"You bastard, you've been lying to me from the very beginning. In the end, you and Crocodile are the same kind of people, and your goal is the same: this country!"

"Cough cough cough~", Bitz laughed so hard he almost choked.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the girl opposite him whose face had become contorted with anger and rage, and casually waved his hand, saying:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not like that idiot Crocodile."

They had absolutely no interest in this impoverished country that was nothing but sand.

From beginning to end, I was only attracted to your beauty, nothing more.

"I...you...bastard!"

Weiwei was so angry that she could hardly speak. She didn't know whether to praise him for being honest or to scold him for being shameless.

He actually admitted so openly that he was attracted to beautiful women; his skin is incredibly thick.

The girl's face turned pale and then red, clearly unable to accept this explanation.

Before she could refuse, Kobits took out a recording Den Den Mushi and gently waved it at the girl.

"Don't try to deny it, I recorded our entire conversation just now."

You promised me that yourself.

He wore a wicked grin, his gaze lingering unabashedly on the girl.

"Furthermore, let me remind you again, the man in front of you is the man who defeated the sand crocodile that almost overthrew this country.

"Let me put it this way, Your Highness Vivi, you wouldn't want your country to perish, your father to die, and your people to be displaced, would you?"

Vivi: "..."

'Scumbag, truly wicked to the core,' Robin cursed Bitz in his heart.

She shook her head, put down her cup, and got up. She left the office alone, leaving the two of them alone.

. . . . . . . .

After leaving the office, Robin went to the casino in front of the building to check on Bonnie and the other man.

After learning that the two of them had already received their rewards and left, Robin didn't say anything more.

After that, she arranged some work, made some adjustments and handled certain matters, and then returned to her room.

After changing into slippers at the entrance, she entered the room.

The room wasn't large, only about 100 square meters, and as always, it was piled high with all sorts of books and manuscripts.

Back in her room, she was finally able to shed some of her pretense. The smile that was often seen on her face was gone, replaced by an unconcealable sorrow.

He strolled over to the desk where books and unfinished historical manuscripts were laid out and sat down.

She opened the drawer and took out the newspaper that had caused a worldwide sensation.

Looking at the photo of herself in the newspaper, she felt a sudden unease.

I was careless; I didn't even notice someone was secretly taking pictures.

Or perhaps the reporters at the World Economic Herald were so exceptional that I didn't even realize it.

Holding a newspaper in one hand, she put the other in her mouth and started biting her nails, revealing a rare look of fear.

Now that the photos have spread around the world through the newspapers, given her understanding of those government lackeys, they are probably already on their way to arrest her.

Her childhood escape resurfaced in her mind, and the newspaper was crumpled because she gripped it too tightly.

But just as she was about to be consumed by this fear, a giant ape roaring to the sky suddenly appeared in her mind, dispelling her fear.

Recalling the overwhelming strength that Beetz displayed that night, Robin felt a surge of warmth in her heart and a sense of peace.

"That guy..." Robin clutched her chest, quite surprised by her own change in demeanor.

"Having spent less than a month together, have I already gotten used to and become dependent on him? Humans are such an incredibly adaptable species."

Muttering to herself as she carefully put the newspaper away, she leaned back in her chair, reminiscing about the moments she had spent with Bitz during this time.

But when she thought of Bitts, all she could think of were all sorts of strange and bizarre positions and his coercion and enticement of Vivi.

Startled, Robin opened his eyes and covered his forehead, suddenly realizing what had happened.

'So it turns out that I've become dependent on him not in a spiritual way, but in a physical way?'

Just like he said, I've already taken his shape...

Robin, suddenly realizing this, was immediately plunged into deep confusion.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Meanwhile, the G22 naval branch, located in the waters near Alabasta, also welcomed two guests.

Two strange men, one fat and one thin, wearing pig and dog masks and dressed in white suits and white capes, walked around the branch base as if the surrounding navy didn't exist.

Despite their attire being clearly different from that of naval soldiers, not a single naval officer dared to step forward to stop or question them.

Even if there were such a hothead, he would be stopped by his superior and given a cryptic explanation.

"Ignore them, just pretend you didn't see them."

The quick-witted recruits immediately shut their mouths after hearing what their superiors said.

But those who are single-minded will keep asking questions.

In response, their superiors would often say something meaningful and subtly sarcastic:

"Because they are government agents, the shield of the Celestial Dragons—CP0."

Before the greenhorns could ask again, "What is CP0?", the duo in white suits were stopped by a major in a coat of justice.

"Gentlemen, our colonel would like to invite you to sit in his office."
