Chapter 87

After a while, everyone finally arrived at the Rain Feast. It looks like a casino, but it is actually the headquarters of Baroque Studio.

After the previous lesson, everyone was relatively cautious this time, and they were well-behaved all the way here. Luffy was well-behaved, so there was nothing to worry about!

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

As soon as they entered the Rain Feast, all kinds of shouting and shouting filled their ears instantly, and what came into view was countless people shouting around different gambling venues.

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

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

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

"Did you see that group of 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's words directly shut him up.

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

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

The woman, Robin, looked at Luffy and the others again at this time, and was relieved when she confirmed that the figure that frightened her was not there.

It was really stressful to face him last time.

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

The whole of Alabasta received the news of such an intense battle in Rapeseed Flower soon.

Even Crocodile couldn't help but sweat when he learned that Aokiji was here. He was relieved until he heard that Aokiji left by boat soon after.

Afterwards, he went to Rapeseed Flower to see that the whole city was destroyed in this battle, and there were traces of ice everywhere.

Even after being exposed to the sun for more than a day, the ice only melted a little.

This also made him clearly feel the strength of a general, and he was definitely not his opponent with his strength.

At the same time, he also became curious about Xia Chen who could fight with Aokiji, and when he learned that he was also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and had been defeated by Aokiji, Crocodile even had the idea of ​​thanking Aokiji.

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

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

It seems that I can say more good things for Aokiji in the meeting in the future…

…

Time goes back to the present, just when Luffy and the others were still curious about 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 at the place he pointed, and saw a door with a gold frame appeared in front of them, with the three letters VIP hanging on it.

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

"Hey, 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 complain.

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

Then everyone followed behind.

The moment they entered the door, they saw a long passage. At the end of the passage, there were two signs.

One said VIP and the other said Pirate.

"Should we go VIP or Pirate?" Usopp asked in confusion.

"We are pirates, of course we should go the pirate route!" Luffy answered without thinking.

"Go pirates, this is obviously a trap, okay?" Sanji said unhappily.

"No, I'm going to go the pirate road!" After that, everyone came to the end of the road, and Luffy turned directly into the pirate road.

Usopp and Zoro followed closely.

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

However, before they could react, the floor under their feet opened directly downwards, and Luffy and the other two fell in in an instant.

Sanji and others behind were still on it because they ran slowly and did not reach that position.

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

"Oh!" At this time, Luffy finally reacted after experiencing a period of weightlessness, and his left handHe stretched out his hand to surround Zoro and Usopp, and stretched his right hand directly upwards towards Sanji.

"Hahaha… It's really dangerous!" Luffy said with a big laugh after coming up. He didn't know that there was already a fist behind his head ready to go.

"Bang!"

Luffy got another punch from Nami.

"I told you to be more cautious! You still insisted on choosing a pirate, and you were fooled by such a simple trap!"

"Okay, let's go to the other side. Pay attention. Although the other road is clearly a trap, it can't be guaranteed that this road is safe!"

"So… we have to be careful!"

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

"Oh, okay!"

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

The main point is that I would rather die than die with my friends! The captain is for sale!

However, there were no accidents on the next section of the road. They passed through this passage smoothly and came to a huge underground room.

There was a conference table and several chairs in the room.

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

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

As the voice fell, the chair in the front slowly turned around, and a man wearing a black cloak and a seam mark on his face was sitting there with his legs crossed.

"Crocodile!"

The moment she saw this man, Vivi said with an ugly face.

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

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

"Why do you do this to Alabasta? Have we ever offended you?"

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

"Hahaha…"

Crocodile burst into laughter after hearing this.

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

"Isn't it funny? Don't you find it interesting to see you being fooled by me like a fool?"

"Yes, I did all these things. I also manipulated the conflict between the king's army and the rebel army. Blame it on your people for not believing in your dear father, the king of Alabasta!"

"As for why I did this?"

"Hahaha…"
