233 Chapter 233

233

After Crocodile discussed what he planned, both Mrs. All Sunday and Mr. 1 moved out.

Nico Robin was tasked to get to the city of Tamarisk to find Mr. 2. The okama should have already arrived in Alabasta, and yet there was no contact from him. That is why Crocodile had sent her to check on him.

He was crucial to the plan. His ability would be the main key in bringing mayhem in Alabasta. A key part in bringing down the monarchy of Alabasta.

Nico Robin didn't like what she was doing. Especially since compared to the other royals she had seen in other countries, the Alabasta royal family was of a better kind.

The King of the country, Cobra, actually cared about his people. Which was quite different from the other royalties she knew about.

In her twenty-eight years of life, Robin had to shift from one island to another, not staying in one place or one crew for no longer than three years. A good way to stay off the radar of the World Government.

And compared to the other islands and their ruling power. The Nefertari royal family was of the better kind.

And yet she was helping a pirate take over the country all for her own benefit. A sad smile dawned on her face. She always used the excuse that, if she wasn't doing it, someone else would.

Still, she didn't like doing the dirty work. Due to her circumstances, she had to cheat, kill and betray just to survive. Still, taking down the royalty of a country that was actually good towards its people was something that even she was reluctant to do.

That is why when she found out that Nefertari Vivi had infiltrated their ranks as Miss Wednesday, she hid it from the other members. And even led the girl to find out that Mr. Zero was actually the Warlord, Sir Crocodile.

She was hoping that the girl would use her royalty to her advantage and inform the Marines. That was why she tried to even push Straw Hats into going to Nanimonai Island (G3 base). But it didn't seem to be working out.

Still, she didn't care that much. Her partnership with Crocodile had been over four years. And she was planning to end it. If she could get access to the Poneglyph in this country before that, it would be better.

As Nico Robin made her way toward Tamarisk city, she also stayed vigilant.

Tamarisk city was a few kilometers away from Katorea city, where a big fight was happening. Well, she was there when it started.

First, it was 'White Lady' Kuina against 'Fire Storm' Ace. But now it seemed that 'Straw Hat' Luffy had also joined in. And the fight between the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates was of epic proportions. The amount of destruction both pirates caused were massive.

Good thing that they moved away from Katorea, or else the city would have been destroyed.

The city of Tamarisk and the city of Katorea were sister cities so to speak. Both were port cities, where ships docked. In the city of Tamarisk, mostly navy and legal merchant ships docked. Mainly used by the kingdom for its duties.

While on the other hand in the city of Katorea, only the lawless pirates came. It was, in a good way, to separate pirates from the main line. With so many new pirates coming to the Grand Line, stopping all of them would be impossible, so this kind of system was quite common.

It ensured that the chaos was contained.

Both cities were near each other, only being separated by a rocky terrain of a few kilometers.

It seemed the fight between Luffy and Ace had stretched away from the city of Katorea towards the rocky terrain.

Robin didn't know if the fight was still happening or not. The constant noise from the fight was not heard.

Previously the night before, the fight between Ace and Kuina had gathered quite a lot of attention. It got even more intense when the Straw Hat captain joined in. Pillars of flames, and sounds of explosions became a common occurrence throughout the night.

Robin hadn't seen that kind of fight before. But from what she heard, only New World-level pirates were capable of this type of destruction. She was quite impressed that the so-called heroic pirate even fought against Ace.

Nico Robin wondered who won. But the question was obvious, Ace was the more experienced pirate, a commander of a Yonko. Luffy wouldn't be able to beat him. Even with all of the newspapers hyping up his deeds done at Nanimonai Island (G3 base) she was still skeptical about the boy.

If the fight was between Crocodile and Luffy, she would bet on the latter. Over the four years while she worked, she had gotten quite close to the sand logia user. While Crocodile's ability to control sand was very powerful here on Alabasta, she doubted Crocodile could win against Luffy, not even mentioning Ace.

Luffy was exceptionally strong for a new pirate. Some newspapers claimed that he was related to the Marine Hero. She doubted the newspapers as oftentimes it showed false news… still something about that boy was just… different.
