Pirate's Strongest Relationship

Chapter 53 Ricardo's Too Much Fuck
"Is this a dream? Or an illusion?"

Crocodile watched the scene in front of him gradually turn into nothingness, and the surroundings were pitch black, as if the whole world, only Ricardo and himself were left.

"I am a man of illusion who ate the fruit of illusion, and here is the illusion world I built! You should be proud, Crocodile! This is the third time I have used the power of my left eye so far!"

"Most of the power of my illusion fruit is contained in the left eye, so my left eye is always in a blood-red state, and I wear an eye patch to cover it up."

"The people who made me use the power of my left eye the first two times were Admiral Kizaru of the Navy Headquarters and Shiji the Golden Lion! And you are the third!"

Ricardo looked at Crocodile in front of him, and slowly explained.

"Little devil, you have some vision! Finally, you didn't compare me with those little pirates!"

Crocodile didn't mind at all that he was in Ricardo's illusion, and even took out another cigar from his body and lit it.

"...Crocodile, what you are looking for is not in this country!" Ricardo said.

"...What do you know? What do you want to do?"

Crocodile never expected that Ricardo seemed to know his plan, and was stunned for a moment.

"I can tell you the answer you want to know, but I want to make a deal with you, what do you think?" Ricardo looked at Crocodile and said.

At the same time, in the same void, Nicole Robin was looking at the darkness around her in horror. This endless darkness reminded her of many bad memories.

"Sorry, I don't know, it's my fault that you are so afraid of the dark!"

Ricardo stepped out of the darkness, looked at the panicked Robin, raised his hand and snapped his fingers while talking.

Just hearing the sound of "呯", the surrounding darkness turned into bright sunshine, and not far from the two of them, there was a clear lake.

"In this way, will you feel better?" Ricardo asked with a smile.

"How did you do it? Devil fruit?" Robin asked after gradually calming down.

"That's right, it is indeed a Devil Fruit. I ate the Illusion Fruit. Everything here is fabricated by me using the illusion." Ricardo nodded and explained to Robin.

"What a magical ability. Then, what exactly do you want to do when you bring me here? For a person like you, my only value must be that I can understand ancient characters!"

"Is that why you're here? Want me to join you?" Robin asked.

"Although I very much hope to invite you on board, your status is too special. My current status is not suitable for taking you out to sea."

Ricardo shook his head, denying Robin's idea.

"Hehe, I've seen a lot of people like you! You want me to work for you, but you're afraid that because of me, the government will hunt you down. In your eyes, I'm just a tool, right?"

Robin questioned Ricardo agitatedly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered in these years.

"In my eyes, you are neither a tool nor a demon, of course, you are just a person with some knowledge of archaeology, that's all!"

"I came to you, neither to blackmail you, nor to exchange it with the government for a bounty, I just want to give you a chance to choose."

Ricardo looked at Nicole Robin who seemed to have collapsed in front of him. He knew how many dangers the girl in front of him had experienced in the world over the years, so he was not surprised by her radical reaction just now, but slowly explained.

"A chance to choose?"

While wondering what the chance of choice Ricardo said was, Robin took an object that Ricardo threw to her from the air.

On closer inspection, it was a phone bug.

"Hold this phone bug, and when you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, you can call this phone bug and ask me for help!"

Ricardo pointed to the phone bug in Robin's hand and explained.

"...Then, what's the price?"

Robin was already very wary of Ricardo who suddenly appeared, so he naturally didn't believe that Ricardo would help her for free, so he asked.

"Your everything!" Ricardo replied.

"My everything?"

Facing Ricardo's answer, Robin was a little puzzled.

"That's right, I know, you have been pursuing the historical text for so many years, this can be said to be the motivation to support your life."

"I want you to share everything you know with me in the future! Whether it's the disappearing 100 years, or about the World Government, the Celestial Dragons."

"I will not force you, and I believe that no one can force you, so I will give you a choice! You can never ring this phone bug! But if you do, then you need to talk to I share all the knowledge you will gain in the future!"

Ricardo looked at the silent Nicole Robin, and slowly explained.

At this moment, Ricardo seemed to be dazed for a moment, then came back to his senses, and said quickly.

"Put away the phone bugs and come on, we are going out, the negotiation over there has broken down. Remember, the sea is vast, and sooner or later you will meet a partner who is willing to protect you!"

The surrounding sunlight and the lake shattered like a mirror, and Robin found himself back in Crocodile's office. Everything around him remained unchanged, just like a dream.

But the phone bug in her arms told her that what happened just now was not a dream, but actually happened.

On the other side, just a few minutes ago, Crocodile and Ricardo were in the nothingness.

"Although I don't know why you know my goal or even my plan, but I refuse!"

Crocodile was really surprised when he heard what Ricardo said at the beginning. He never imagined how the young man in front of him knew about the plan he had carefully laid out for so many years.

However, he still rejected Ricardo's proposal, not even intending to listen to what Ricardo wanted to say.

"Crocodile, don't you want to know what I plan to trade with you? As I said, what you are looking for is not in this country."

Although he had expected Crocodile's reaction, Ricardo hadn't expected him to refuse so simply, and Ricardo could only try again feebly.

"What I'm looking for, I will find it myself! Who do you think you are? You want to make a deal with me?" Crocodile responded domineeringly.

"As expected of you, Crocodile, but if I tell you that your plan is impossible to succeed?" Ricardo said again.
