Arceus' Pirate Journey

"The system of numberers uses numbers to determine strength. The smaller the number, the stronger it is, but it's a bit weak. I'm afraid that the one here can't even beat our No. 60."

After learning about the system of Baroque Studio, Robin felt that this system was very familiar. It was very similar to the numbering system of Hundred Beasts. Overall, they were the same type of plan, but the overall strength was very different.

Moreover, in terms of system, it is much more cruel than the current Beasts. If the mission fails, they will be hunted down by higher-level agents, and the people below will attack their companions in order to get promoted. Under Crocodile's loose management, the internal structure of this criminal organization is very loose.

"What? You actually copied the numbering system created by my adoptive father. I'll come to your place to play when I have time."

"Okay, I'll contact you when the action is ready, but you may not be very interested."

Yamato's playfulness could be devastating to some organizations. Crocodile had no idea at this time that he was just acting according to the plan and was inexplicably targeted by the monsters of the New World.

Now he is dealing with some matters of the Baroque Studio. Nico Robin is not following Crocodile all the time and directly acting as his deputy like in the original timeline, but is in a special probation period.

Robin and Yamato had just finished their long phone call when the Den Den Mushi on her body started ringing.

"Boss?"

"Mr. 7 is dead. This is an opportunity for me to see your ability. You can come here from the New World step by step. You can't be a powerless woman, right? Let that guy know the price of refusing to recruit him, Miss Allsunday.

In addition, Mr. 2 will contact you, please cooperate with him."

Chapter 822: The Three Swordsmen Forced to Set Sail Because They Lost Their Way

For Crocodile, Nico Robin was full of mysteries. Even though he could learn about her past experiences from his own sources, he did not know the details.

No matter which organization she had close contact with, they all ended up being destroyed. It seemed that some terrifying force intervened and wiped out all traces.

It could be luck once, it could be luck twice, but so many times, unless your name is Buggy, it is impossible to get through it smoothly by luck, so in Crocodile's view, this woman must have a certain strength.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see how strong the other party was. As for being afraid? He didn't have such an emotion. After all, he had challenged the Four Emperors and fought with Barrett. He had not lost all his pride.

He doesn't care about Mr. 7's life or death. He is just an ordinary subordinate. If he dies, he dies. He can't even beat a bounty hunter from the East China Sea. It is a waste of resources if such a guy is alive.

Robin intercepted part of Crocodile's message and gave it to Vivi, reminding her to pay attention to the people in the palace. However, Vivi had already left the palace at this time and could not handle the problem herself for the time being.

After a while, Robin came to the coffee shop at the agreed time and recognized Mr. 2 at a glance.

In Alabasta, shemales are a very rare group, which makes Mr. 2 very conspicuous.

Mr. 2, whose real name is Von Clay, is a senior agent of Baroque Works and the only agent without a partner. The reason for not having a partner... may be because he is a shemale.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Allsunday, this is what Xiao 0 asked me to give you, and there is also a specific mission location."

"Thank you."

She had seen many strange people in Wano Country. Even though the person in front of her was a shemale, her expression did not change. She just took her things calmly.

There seemed to be some ancient words written on it, but they were all worthless nonsense. Crocodile himself couldn't understand what was written on it. He gave it to Robin just to express his own abilities, as a kind of pie in the sky for his employees.

"Hey, Miss Allsunday, would you mind telling me what Zero looks like? You should have seen him."

His shemale style often makes him receive strange looks, but he doesn't care. On the path of being a shemale, he is more manly than many men, and strange looks cannot shake him.

But Robin's calmness was very different from others, which made him feel special, so he began to inquire about Crocodile's information.

"He's an ugly one."

"What? Is Xiao0 ugly?"

"Yes, and I'm not as good as you. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Robin didn't intend to spend much time here, and wanted to leave here after a few simple conversations.

"Wait, Xiao 0 also gave us other tasks. Miss Robin, do you have any acquaintances in the palace?"

As he said this, Von Clay put his right hand on his face, and the next moment, he turned into Robin.

After Kurozumi Muchan's death, the Mimic Fruit was reborn and was eaten by von Clay, becoming the new generation of Mimic Fruit user.

His mission is to enter the palace as Robin and get in touch with more people in the kingdom to facilitate future actions.

The two came into contact just after submitting their information.

After he completed the transformation, he found that Robin had a sinister smile on his face. Before he could react, several arms suddenly grew out of his body and locked his joints.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, what am I doing?!"

"If I hear you doing something weird in this state, don't blame me for being rude."

She knew the ability of the Mimic Fruit. When she was reading documents in Wano Country, the ability of this fruit was also mentioned. Therefore, she knew that this fruit could imitate more than just the face.

"I know, I know. I won't do anything casually!"

After hearing the affirmative answer, Robin removed her ability and answered some of Von Clay's questions. The undercover work was still going on. Although she didn't like this ability very much, she could barely accept it.

Then she took a rough address and left Alabasta.

......

Some time later, in the East China Sea, Nico Robin came to this sea area, which was also the sea area where Mr. 7 died. The person who killed him was the bounty hunter who had recently become famous in the East China Sea - Roronoa Zoro.

Originally, he practiced with Koshiro in Shimotsuki Village, but after going out to sea one time, he could not go back. No matter how others gave him directions, he would always go to the wrong place and could not return to Shimotsuki Village.

After his money ran out, he started working as a bounty hunter, but still couldn't go back.

Even if he took a boat and got off nearby, he would still get lost and move away from Shimotsuki Village again, as if he was cursed.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate and move randomly among the islands in the East China Sea. Anyway, he could not control the direction he was going. In Zoro's view, this might be his destiny, and it was time to work towards his goal that year.

By the way, you can also look for the Yellow Spring mentioned by the mysterious black guy.

Under Cap's periodic plowing, the East China Sea has become the weakest sea in the true sense.

It was not difficult for Zoro to make a name for himself in this sea area, and this naturally attracted the recruitment of Baroque Studio.

Their peripheral organization is a bounty hunter gathering at Whiskey Peak near the entrance to the Grand Line, which brings together bounty hunters from all over the sea.

When faced with Mr. 7's recruitment, his reply was that he would still consider it if he was given the position of the boss. Mr. 7 was very unhappy to hear this reply and wanted to kill Zoro, but then he was chopped off.

......

"This green-haired gentleman? Could you please wait a moment?"

On this day, Zoro, who had just repaired a slightly damaged Wado Ichimonji, was stopped by a strange voice. Turning around, he saw a wheat-skinned woman and a little lizard dressed like a cowboy.

"Why, do you want to ask for directions?"

"Pfft, of course not. It took me a lot of effort to find you. Just to confirm, you are the pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro, right?"

Originally, according to the existing information, it would not be difficult to find Zoro.

He was also a celebrity in the East China Sea, so it was not difficult to find out where he was going. The problem was that Robin blocked him several times on the road he had to take, but he just didn't meet him.

Originally I just came to the East China Sea to change my mood and visit Crocodile. The East China Sea is so big, it is reasonable that I couldn't find anyone.

But all this trouble actually aroused a strange competitive spirit in her. She had to catch the other party once and see how he avoided her detection.

Chapter 823: Give me back the knife!

"Ah, it's me. If you didn't ask for directions, you would be looking for trouble, right?"

He has encountered a lot of such things. There is no threshold to become a bounty hunter. As long as you dare to do it, anyone can become a bounty hunter.

But compared to those who fought hard for money, Zoro's foundation was much more solid, and his years of training paid off, allowing him to quickly make a name for himself in the East China Sea.

The pirates in the New World wanted to challenge the Four Emperors and become famous, and in the East China Sea, Zoro became the target of challenge and recruitment by some people.

At the age of sixteen, he was full of vigor and easily impulsive. After the hostile relationship was confirmed, fighting was inevitable.

No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as he is sure that they are enemies, he will fight to the end. However, in most cases, he will use the back of the knife when fighting with women. At this time, he has already held the Wado Ichimonji in his hand upside down.

"Looking for trouble? Maybe that's the case for you, but I just want to figure out something. By the way, it's rumored that you're a three-sword swordsman, so why did you only bring one sword?"

Robin did not say that she has a relationship with Baroque Works now. Crocodile is not worth her full efforts. Her mother, childhood elders, and friends are all in Wano Country. She has already found her own home.

What we are doing now is just exploring that mysterious history.

Those insignificant little things are not as important as the number of the opponent's knives.

"It's broken, and I don't have money to buy a new knife."

Zoro is also a real moonlighter. To be more precise, he doesn't even have a fixed salary.

He would not rob things directly, and the spoils might not be of great use to him. It has always been his dream to buy two similar good knives.

His current occupation is a bounty hunter, but in the East China Sea, bounties of tens of millions are quite rare, so it is basically impossible to get rich overnight.

Although he caught some bounty criminals on weekdays, there was not much money left after deducting daily expenses. The most ordinary samurai sword cost 50,000 berries, and he really couldn't afford that much money now.

His fighting style is extremely violent, and ordinary knives simply cannot withstand this level of combat. He is not domineering, so those ordinary knives will usually break into several pieces after a short while.

Even though the Wado Ichimonji is one of the twenty-one great swords forged by Shimotsuki Kosaburo, it would still be damaged under such high-intensity combat.

"I see. Actually, I don't really want to waste your time, but could you please tell me how you evaded my detection and got around me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, woman? When have I ever done anything like counter-reconnaissance?"

"If you tell the truth, I can give you some money so you can buy a suitable knife."

"Even if you say so... I have never done such a thing, but why did you go to so much trouble to find me? What is your purpose?"

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't seem to want to cooperate with me in order to figure out some things?"

The two people's thinking has never been on the same level. At this time, Robin couldn't believe that a human being could be so bad at finding directions, and thought that the other party's anti-reconnaissance ability was outstanding.

But in Zoro's opinion, this was just a crazy woman who was talking nonsense. It would be better to knock her down and leave here.

"Itto-ryu·No... er..."

But before he could do anything, several arms grew out of his body and pinned him to the ground. Wadō Ichimonji was also sent into Robin's hands alternately by the arms that grew out of the ground.

"It looks like a famous sword. No wonder you have it in your hand all this time."

Robin, who has been training in Wano Country and has fought in the Grand Line for a long time, is no match for the fledgling Zoro. He can't break free from the force of several arms clasped together. Taking this opportunity, she also confirmed the quality of the sword.

"Asshole! What do you want to do, woman?! Give it back to me!"

"Don't worry, I will return it to you. There is a small town about 5 kilometers to the east. I will wait for you there. As long as you find it as quickly as you can, I will return it to you. Now, please take a nap."

The arm transformed from the fruit ability accurately cut the back of Zoro's neck, causing him to temporarily lose consciousness.

"Little Lizard, I'll go to the town and wait there. You take Rotom and keep an eye on him to see how he does it. Got it?"

"Cha~"

Since the other party didn't tell the truth, she would force him a little. Robin judged that Zoro was a swordsman who adhered to certain traditions because he intended to fight with the back of his sword. Such swordsmen usually valued their swords very much, especially famous swords.

She didn't believe that the other party would hide his abilities after the knife was taken away. She gave the approximate location of the town, but if she wanted to find it, she had to follow the traces she left behind, otherwise it would be easy to find the wrong place.

After leaving the little lizard to monitor the other party, Robin left first.

......

Not long after, Zoro woke up, pounded the ground angrily, and then rushed to the west. No matter what, he could not lose the knife.

Affected by his mood, he even temporarily forgot a "witch" who could summon his arms.

"?"

After Sauron left, a question mark appeared on the face of the invisible stream. It didn't understand why the man walked west without looking back.

Until sunset, Zoro still hadn't found the town, and the little lizard also called Robin's Den Den Mushi.

It was not until then that Robin realized the truth. This was not someone with outstanding anti-reconnaissance capabilities, but a weirdo with no sense of direction at all.

Under normal circumstances, he could reach the vicinity within an hour. Given his physical condition, a few minutes would be enough. However, Zoro had to wait until the next morning to find Robin, and that was in a special way of two-person tripod.

On his way west, he met Johnny and Joseph, two bounty hunters who admired him and recognized him as their big brother. They had been hunting bandits nearby and had settled there for some time, so they knew where the town Robin was talking about was and guided Zoro to find it.

However, even if they led the way one in front and one behind, Zoro would still unknowingly take the wrong path, so they had to adopt this special method of advancing.

"Woman! Come out right here! Why are you hiding in such a hard-to-find place?!"

At the gate of the town, Zoro untied the ropes on his feet and shouted angrily towards the town, making everyone nearby look at him.

Looking at the straight road leading to the outside world at the entrance of the town, they didn't know what had stimulated this man to look for a woman here early in the morning.

Chapter 824: The Seven-Year Agreement, the Regent’s Dream Moment

"Here, here, Mr. Directionless, I'm behind you."

"Who are you calling the one with a poor sense of direction?"
