Luffy and his gang of thieves were sent to the nearby area to do some labor to fish for food. Vivi began to talk about the mastermind behind Alabasta.

"Krokodil, is he a hero of Alabasta?" Nami remembered the report in the newspaper that said Crocodile was worshipped by the people of Alabasta, so she asked in confusion. Baroque Workshop, abbreviated as BW, is a criminal gang organized by Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Although he is a pirate and the mastermind behind the scenes, he is considered a hero by the people of Alabasta, which is a bit ironic.

"Because the Seven Warlords of the Sea are hired by the World Government, the Seven Warlords defeat pirates for money, and the Navy defeats pirates for justice. For the people, the benefits are the same. In the end, they both drive away the pirates who attack the towns." Vivi answered Nami's doubts and explained the origin of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The reason for the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is rather twisted. Ever since Roger opened the Age of Discovery, the number of pirates and navy has been disproportionate. This world is vast and boundless, and the navy does not have enough energy and time to govern pirates, especially when pirates have the existence of the Four Emperors with extraordinary combat power. Therefore, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were established, and pirates with high abilities and popularity under the Four Emperors were found to serve, giving them power to a certain extent, obeying the command of the World Government, and establishing a third-party force. The triangle is the most stable, and the three forces balance and restrain each other.

"This is a bit difficult to deal with." Dazai Osamu touched his chin and frowned slightly.

Crocodile is currently a hero in Alabasta. It is useless to simply defeat him. The people of Alabasta have completely believed in Crocodile's words. If Vivi shows up, even if she defeats Crocodile, it will only cause conflicts.

"Anyway, all we have to do is drive the crocodile away!" Luffy waved his fist. Since the boss is the crocodile, all we have to do is deal with that guy. Luffy's brain directly filtered out other information and came up with the equation. Defeating the crocodile is equivalent to saving Alabasta.

"Well, first we have to quell the riots. If we can drive Baroque Studio BW out of the country, Alabasta will be saved." Vivi hugged her knees, looked in the direction of Luffy, and nodded.

"But what is that BW? Sometimes it's Mr., sometimes it's Miss?" Usopp was overwhelmed by these titles and asked in confusion.

"It's very simple, actually. First of all, the top leader is Crocodile, or Mr. 0. There are 0 people and one shemale who directly accept Mr. 12's bright command. Each of them has a codename of [Mr+number]. They are paired with female commanders of equal strength. Among them, Mr. 13 and Ms. Friday have a special status. Their mission is to punish those who fail in the mission. Those above Mr. 5 in the command center are called chief commanders. They almost all have devil fruits and only appear at very important times. The following are called executive commanders, which is my previous position. They are responsible for collecting funds at the entrance of the [Grand Line]. This is the system of the secret criminal organization [BW]."

Weiwei had been lurking in the organization for more than a year and had been promoted at a very fast speed. She was very familiar with the basic information and told everything she knew.

"Really?" Luffy listened to this long string of information and felt that the knowledge was not passing through his mind. He directly grasped the key points and repeatedly confirmed, "So we just need to get rid of the crocodile!"

"You won't understand!" Sanji sat on the wine barrel, looking at Luffy's sweaty face. He could tell at a glance that Luffy didn't understand the situation, so he sighed and said.

"So, if BW wants to occupy Alabasta, that means, those high-level commanders will also gather together!" Usopp made the definition tremblingly when he heard that there were at least 800 people under the name of Baroque Studio, and those at the cadre level were also Devil Fruit users.

"That's right!" Weiwei's face was solemn. With these senior commanders gathered together, things would be more difficult to solve.

"We can't win now." Dazai Osamu said directly. This is the fact and there is no excuse.

According to the current situation, the Straw Hat Pirates have a very low chance of winning, but they are not without the possibility of winning.

"So, let's start training." Dazai Osamu clapped his hands, interrupting the heavy atmosphere on the ship. He smiled and glanced at Luffy and his companions. The enemy was so powerful, and the current level of the Straw Hat Pirates was not enough. "After all, you still have a lot of shortcomings~"

The training of Observation Haki, which had been delayed for a long time, was put back on the tutorial. This time, Chopper was also a beginner, and the difficulty for the others began to increase. Except for Zoro and Luffy who were very excited, the others thought about the huge gap in martial arts strength and joined in reluctantly.

The devilish training has begun again.

Dazai Osamu was sitting on the second-floor balcony, drinking coffee and reading a book. He looked very peaceful, but the shouting sounds coming from the side did not complement the beautiful atmosphere.

"Dazai--" Nami walked over and looked at Dazai hesitantly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Dazai Osamu put down the cup, looked up at Nami, a smile appeared on his lips, his eyes relaxed, and he said as expected, "You're here."
