Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Nicole Robin
Albana, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Dylan was walking aimlessly on the street with Shura on his arm. On both sides of the street, some sneaky guys were secretly watching him.
Although the "Mind Net" could clearly perceive these guys' actions, Dylan did not intend to do anything to them.
These people all have their own backgrounds, including CP, World Economic News, major pirate groups, and possibly even naval intelligence personnel.
"Baroque Workshop".
Crocodile had a gloomy face. Although "Dark Dragon" Dylan had not troubled him in the past few years, the whole sea was spreading the rumor that he had completely lost his fighting spirit after meeting him once.
Even the World Government has asked about this matter, intentionally or unintentionally.
The weak are not worthy of becoming Shichibukai.
"What is that bastard doing here again?"
"It's unclear at the moment. Besides us, there are many other forces around who are also observing him."
Phew~~~~
Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Got it. Tell them to leave. That bastard is moody. It's best not to provoke him."
A woman wearing a cowboy hat sitting next to Crocodile showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, Nico Robin."
Crocodile glanced at her and said, "Your knowledge of him comes from newspapers and legends. Only those of us who have actually seen him know how terrible that bastard is."
"I'm not necessarily happy about you tarnishing my reputation in front of a woman like this, little lizard."
Bang!!
The door flew open and a young man in black appeared at the door carrying a long knife.
"Dark Dragon..."
Crocodile stared at Dylan with gritted teeth.
"Don't make such a grim face." Dylan walked over to the table and sat down with his feet on it.
Seeing Dylan's carefree look, Crocodile became more and more fearful. If it was that fishman, or "Broken Moon" Ein, or even Rain Shiryu who came, it would be fine.
At most, they would be using him as a training ground, but now that the real owner is here, things may not be that simple.
Could it be for Pluto as well?
"What are you doing here?"
Crocodile asked in a deep voice.
Dylan glanced at him and said, "What the hell are you talking about? I'm a vice admiral of the navy. Apart from Marijoa, is there anywhere in the world that I can't go?"
"you······"
Crocodile paused for a moment.
This bastard has never treated the Seven Warlords of the Sea as human beings.
Nico Robin next to her had sweaty palms.
If this man did not have the "Hero Garp" before him, his title might not be "the youngest vice admiral in history" but "the strongest vice admiral in history".
"Nicole Robin." Dylan glanced at the woman next to him who was trembling with nervousness.
Nico Robin shuddered.
He is here to find me! ?
My journey...is this the end?
Okay...
Although the ocean is vast, I still haven't found someone who can accept me. Maybe it's not a bad thing to end it here.
Dylan watched from the side as Nicole Robin's expression changed from fear to sadness and then to distraction.
Crocodile next to him frowned, and he was also struggling in his heart.
Whether to help or not, Nico Robin is the only known person who can interpret the "historical text".
But if he angered the Dark Dragon Dylan, it would be uncertain whether he could survive...
For the first time, Crocodile felt that the identity of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" was sometimes useless.
"she······"
After hesitating for a moment, Crocodile finally opened his mouth to find out what Dylan meant.
"Shut up~" Dylan raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"·······"
You are amazing! You are so noble! I will keep quiet, okay?
Just as Crocodile was feeling regretful and Nico Robin was calmly preparing to face death, Dylan stood up and walked out the door.
As he reached the door, Dylan looked back at Nico Robin and shook his head.
The rise of "Dark Dragon" Dylan was so rapid that few people, except for the navy's top brass, knew that he was still under the command of Admiral "Aokiji".
Of course Nico Robin didn't know either.
The pirates' perception of him is that he is cruel, ruthless, and protective.
It was not until more than ten minutes after Dylan left that the two of them broke free from the silence.
"Do you know that guy?"
Crocodile was a little confused. Did Nico Robin have any connection with the Dark Dragon? If so, then he would not have many choices left.
Either set her free immediately, or worship him as your ancestor.
"No." Nico Robin shook her head: "I've only heard of his name, this is the first time I've seen him."
Crocodile also saw the expression on Nico Robin's face just now, and that kind of feeling could not be faked.
"It seems that he is very interested in historical texts and 'ancient weapons'. No wonder, isn't the boatman named Tom in G5?"
Crocodile felt relieved when he thought of this.
But there were some things he still couldn't figure out, such as Dylan's attitude towards Nicole Robin and the look in his eyes when he looked at her just now.
If I have to say, I am very disappointed! ?
What are you disappointed about?
·······
After walking out of the Baroque Workshop, Dylan returned to his aimless state.
He didn't have any good solution for Nico Robin.
This woman's identity is too sensitive, especially since Tom is in G5.
If anything was done to her, Mary Joa would inevitably become suspicious and fearful.
Dylan glanced at the blazing sun above his head and said inexplicably: "Hey, hey, you guy, I'm just here to take a look, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"
Aokiji walked up to Dylan with a serious face, and the two walked side by side: "O'Hara...are there any other survivors?"
"I don't know, probably not?"
Dylan turned his head and glanced at Aokiji: "How would I know about such things? How old was I at that time?"
Aokiji was relieved after being choked by Dylan: "I thought you were also a survivor of O'Hara, coming to see your fellow countrymen."
Dylan rolled his eyes at him, and everything was in his eyes.
"Ah... After all, I am your boss..."
Dylan held out his hand.
"What are you doing?" Aokiji looked at him, confused for a moment.
"Pay your salary!"
Dylan raised his palm and said, "You still know that you are my boss!? How long has it been since G5 received salary from the headquarters? As our boss, it is reasonable for you to pay us, right?"
Aokiji opened his eyes, a little incredulous: "Who in the whole ocean doesn't know that the G5 branch is famous for being wealthy? Not to mention that you have been plundering the East China Sea for more than ten years, the accumulation of hundreds of years of the 'Eight Treasures Navy' alone is... By the way, I heard that you also cooperated with Vegapunk to buy and sell rare alloys? More valuable than gold? And..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Dylan interrupted Aokiji with a wave of his hand.
"If you keep talking like this, it will be my turn to rescue Marinford. What do you mean by looting, you bastard? Those are the spoils of war!"
Dylan glanced at Aokiji with disdain. Logically speaking, this guy couldn't be that poor. After all, he seemed to have some kind of connection and agreement with the Spandine family.
The control of the Demon Slayer Order by both the Spandam father and son is directly related to this guy Aokiji.
However, just as Aokiji basically does not pry into his privacy, Dylan does not ask much about Aokiji's affairs.
In this world, who among those who have a bit of strength doesn't have some background and connections?
