Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island

After a while, everyone finally arrived at the Rain Banquet. It looked like a casino, but in fact it was the headquarters of the Baroque Studio.

After the previous lesson, everyone was relatively cautious this time and behaved well all the way. Luffy behaved well, so there was no problem!

"Let's go in!" Sanji said after taking a puff of cigarette.

As soon as they entered the Rain Banquet, all kinds of shouting and yelling instantly filled their ears, and what caught their eyes was countless people shouting around different gambling venues.

"Where is Crocodile?" Usopp asked Vivi in ​​a low voice.

"I don't know either!" Weiwei shook her head. Then she said, "This is my first time here too."

At this moment, in a corner of the casino, a woman wearing a hat was saying something to a middle-aged man.

"See those people? Invite them to the VIP room!"

"But……"

"This is the boss's arrangement!" The middle-aged man wanted to say something but the woman shut him up with a word.

He could refute the woman who was the store manager but he could not refute their boss.

"I understand!" After saying that, the middle-aged man walked towards Luffy and the others.

The woman, Robin, looked at Luffy and the others again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that the figure that frightened her was not there.

It had been so stressful facing him last time.

"It seems like he was really caught by Aokiji!" Robin murmured in a low voice.

It didn't take long for the whole of Alabasta to receive the news of the intense battle that broke out at Rapeseed Flower.

Even Crocodile couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he learned that Aokiji was here. He was only relieved when he heard that Aokiji left on a boat shortly afterwards.

Afterwards, he went to Rapeseed City and saw that the entire city was completely destroyed in the battle, with traces of ice everywhere.

Even after being exposed to the sun for more than a day, the ice only showed signs of melting slightly.

This also made him clearly feel the strength of a great general, and he was definitely no match for him with his strength.

At the same time, he also became curious about Xia Chen who could fight Aokiji. When Crocodile learned that Xia Chen was also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and had been defeated by Aokiji, he even wanted to thank Aokiji.

From the intelligence he had obtained during this period, he already knew that the Straw Hat Pirates were extremely hostile towards him and were on their way to stop his plans.

If there was such a powerful fighter in the Straw Hat Pirates, it would be a headache for him, but now, Aokiji has helped him solve this problem.

It seems like I can speak more good words for Aokiji in meetings in the future...

……

Time goes back to the present. Just when Luffy and the others were still wondering where Crocodile was, the middle-aged man walked up to everyone and said to them:

"Our boss is waiting for you in the VIP room over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a door with a gold frame appear in front of them, with the letters "VIP" hung on it.

There were also a bunch of welcoming staff at the door, posing to welcome them in.

"Oh, so arrogant? Isn't this just telling us to come on?" Zoro raised his eyebrows and said.

"Crocodile, here I come!" Luffy shouted and rushed towards the door.

"This idiot!" Sanji couldn't help but hold his forehead and complain.

"Let's go! Follow Luffy!" Zoro ran after Luffy.

Then everyone followed behind.

The moment they entered the door, what caught their eyes was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there were two signs.

One says VIP and the other says Pirate.

"Should we go the VIP or Pirate route?" Usopp asked confusedly.

"We are pirates, so of course we follow the pirate path!" Luffy answered without thinking.

"What the hell are you pirates? This is obviously a trap," Sanji said unhappily.

"No, I want to take the pirate path!" After saying that, everyone came to the end of the road, and Luffy turned directly into the pirate path.

Usopp and Zoro followed closely behind.

"Huh, why is it a dead end?" Luffy asked in confusion, touching his head.

However, before they could react, the floor beneath their feet opened downwards, and Luffy and the other two fell in instantly.

Sanji and the others at the back were still there because they ran slowly and didn't reach that position.

Seeing this, Sanji hurriedly shouted: "Luffy, catch me!"

"Oh!" Luffy finally reacted after experiencing a period of weightlessness. He stretched out his left hand to wrap around Zoro and Usopp, and stretched his right hand directly upwards towards Sanji.

"Hahaha... How dangerous!" Luffy laughed as he came up, unaware that there was already a fist behind his head ready to strike.

"boom!"

Luffy was hit by Nami again.

"I told you to be more cautious! But you insisted on choosing a pirate. You even fell for such a simple trap!"

"Okay, let's go to the other side. Be careful, although the other road is clearly a trap, there is no guarantee that this road is safe!"

"So...we have to be careful!"

After that, Nami looked at Luffy and said, "Go ahead and explore the way!"

"okay!"

Then a magical scene happened. Luffy was walking alone in front, and the people behind him were at least ten meters away from him.

The main point is that a friend dies rather than a poor Taoist! The captain is there to be sold!

However, nothing unexpected happened on the rest of the journey, and they passed through the passage smoothly and came to a huge underground room.

The room has a conference table and chairs.

At this time, a male voice that sounded a little hoarse came from the front.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so smart and not fall into the trap I set!"

As he finished speaking, the chair in the front slowly turned around, and a man in a black cloak with a stitch on his face was sitting there with his legs crossed.

"Crocodale!"

The moment she saw this man, Weiwei said with a grim expression.

"Oh? Princess Weiwei, why are you looking at me with such hostility? Did I do something to offend you?"

"Crocodile! Do you still want to act after all this? I have already investigated everything! The natural disasters, rebellions, and dancing powder incidents that have occurred in Alabasta over the years were all caused by you!"

"Why are you doing this to Alabasta? Have we ever offended you?"

Vivi screamed loudly, her tone filled with hatred for Crocodile.

"Hahaha……"

Crocodile burst into laughter when he heard this.

"What's so funny?" Weiwei said angrily.

"Isn't it funny? Don't you find it amusing to see you being played around by me like fools?"

"That's right, I did all these things. I was the one who manipulated the conflict between the King's Army and the rebels. You can blame your people for not trusting your dear father, the King of Alabasta!"

"As for why I would do this?"

"Hahaha……"
