One Piece: The Magic Mask Spell, I'm Invincible

Noah did want to recruit Nico Robin, but at this stage, Noah would not do it.

The devil fruit increased the chances of survival for Nico Robin, who lived in the dark.

Noah thought that he did not have enough power to protect Nico Robin, but Noah wanted to recruit her.

So Noah had the answer after thinking about this.

The answer is: Nico Robin's devil fruit, he will not hunt it himself.

This is Noah's intention, but with Nico Robin's cleverness, Nico Robin should have run away before Noah took action against Crocodile.

Regardless of whether Nico Robin would leave in advance later, Noah would not hunt her devil fruit.

...

The water cover slowly disappeared, and the shadow night bats also merged into the darkness.

When the ordinary members of the Baroque Works outside approached here, Noah had disappeared.

Noah now appeared on the roof of a room.

This place is not far from the battlefield where Noah and Daz Bonis just fought.

Someone has been spying here just now.

However, the spy has left now.

Noah knew that someone was spying and saw him, but Noah had no other reaction and was indifferent to others spying.

Because the spy was Bell who brought Noah to the Rainy Land.

Bell has flown away now.

"Since Cobra wants to know what I'm doing, let him know!"

Noah looked at the direction where Bell flew away and muttered to himself.

Then Noah's figure disappeared.

Using "Shave", one of the six styles of the Navy, to teleport has always been Noah's way of walking.

This can also exercise "Shave" and physical strength.

Noah did not leave the Rainy Land, but Noah did not go to the Rain Feast. Noah chose to wander in the city of Rainy Land.

According to Noah's idea, Crocodile should be back.

Noah's battle with Baroque Works will soon end.

The scene returns to Daz Bonis.

Daz Bonis was taken back to the Rain Feast for treatment.

The Rain Feast and the Rainland fell into peace.

This is the calm before the storm.

…

Alabasta Kingdom, capital, Arubana, palace.

Bell flew back from the sky.

It took Bell only about two hours to return to the palace.

It was already late at night.

Bell wanted to report to Cobra tomorrow about the situation of the pirate hunter Noah in the rainland.

But Bell found that the lights in the palace where Cobra was were not turned off, so Bell flew here directly.

In the palace where Cobra was, there was not only Cobra, but also another person, who was Princess Vivi who had just returned tonight.

"Father, after my investigation, I found that the disaster in the Kingdom of Alabasta should be related to the Baroque Works."

The reason why Vivi used "should" in her words was because Vivi did not have any evidence.

But Vivi was sure that the drought in the Kingdom of Alabasta must be related to the Baroque Works.

Vivi came back this time in the hope that Cobra would help her infiltrate Baroque Works to investigate and collect evidence.

Cobra was silent for a while in the face of what Vivi said.

"You finally found out." Cobra sighed.

Cobra was not going to tell Vivi about this originally, his original intention was to protect Vivi.

But Vivi left privately and investigated privately, and now she finally knew it.

"It turns out that my father knew it a long time ago." Vivi said angrily.

She didn't understand why her father didn't tell her earlier, and she could also help her father and the Kingdom of Alabasta.

She is already a qualified princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

"We can't intervene in this matter for the time being."

Cobra said to Vivi.

The reason why Cobra said this is related to Noah.

Because Noah's appearance disrupted Cobra's plan, Cobra could only make a new plan.

And the premise of making a new plan is to know what Noah is doing now?

Therefore, Cobra would not take any action until Bell came back.

"Why?"

Faced with Vivi's doubts, Cobra was thinking whether to tell her about the pirate hunter Noah.

At this moment, Bell walked in and stopped at the door.

Bell was about to salute when Cobra interrupted him directly.

"Bell, did something happen in Yudi?"

Cobra's interruption meant that he really wanted to know Noah's movements.

At this time, Vivi also noticed Bell.

Her father had something to deal with, so Vivi didn't continue talking about what she had just said..

Bell glanced at Vivi, then at Cobra, and finally at Cobra's signal, Bell began to speak.

"The pirate hunter, Noah, has attacked the cadres of Baroque Works one after another. The strongest commander of Baroque Works has been defeated by him."

"And I think he should still have spare strength."

"This time, Baroque Works encountered a strong opponent."

"However, the strange thing is that this pirate hunter only seriously injured the cadres of Baroque Works and did not kill them."

Bell told Cobra what he knew in a simple and clear way.

"In this case, the pirate hunter Noah and Crocodile are enemies."

"We can't intervene in their battle. I have a hunch that this pirate hunter and Crocodile will definitely have a battle."

"You start to prepare the army. Once the pirate hunter Noah defeats Crocodile, we will immediately take action against the rebellious forces brewing in the kingdom."

Cobra told his plan.

"Yes." Bell took the order and left. He didn't ask anything else.

In fact, there is something missing in Cobra's plan.

That is, what if Crocodile defeats the pirate hunter Noah?

Is Cobra so confident in Noah?

The answer is no.

Cobra selectively forgot this point, not because Cobra was sure that Noah could defeat Crocodile, but because Cobra was gambling.

If the bet wins, everyone is happy, and if the bet loses, it just maintains the status quo.

Vivi heard the conversation between Cobra and Bell clearly. Although Vivi didn't understand the whole story, she knew the key points of the matter.

Vivi is only very interested in the pirate hunter Noah now.

Vivi is Cobra's daughter. Cobra has guessed what his daughter thinks from Vivi's expression and eyes.

Cobra knows that he can't stop Vivi, just like he couldn't stop Vivi from going out to investigate last time.

Although Cobra and Noah had only met once, with Cobra's ability to judge people, he felt that Noah was not a bad person.

If Vivi went to find the pirate hunter Noah, there should be no major danger.

"If you want to go to the rainy land."

"Then let Gaka go with you. I can feel more at ease with him protecting you."

Cobra would not stop his daughter. The young eagle had grown up and it was time for her to see the outside world.

The only thing Cobra could do was to give his daughter Vivi more protection within his ability.
