Chapter 129: Meeting an acquaintance. 

After Rifan nodded to Gion and the strong man, he pulled Robin and Ada into the distance.

With a smile on her face, Gion has been watching Rifan and others pass the street corner and disappear into her sight.

Until this time, the smile on Gion's face disappeared, and instead she showed a pensive expression.

"Gion Vice Admiral, is there any problem with those three people?"

The tall and strong man walked up to Gion and asked curiously.

"It's not really a problem."

"It's just that in the first half of the Grand Line, that man is a little too powerful."

"However, he is also a very kind and honest man."

"There should be no need to continue to pay attention to him."

"Next, we just need to focus on Sand Crocodile and the Ancient Weapon Pluton, Maynard Vice Admiral."

Gion shook her head, and she didn't tell her companion about her doubts about Rifan.

After determining that Rifan is not a criminal.

She wants to keep herself and her companions focused on Crocodile and the Ancient Weapon.

As for helping Rifan find a famous doctor, Gion really wants to do it.

In her opinion, this is her compensation for doubting Rifan and his party.

As for the famous doctor, Gion thinks it is convenient to use Marine's power to find a famous doctor for treatment. 

If Marine can't find a famous doctor who can treat Robin, then Robin's disease may really be incurable.

What Gion didn't know was that Robin was not sick at all.

The reason why her face looks a little old is entirely because she secretly took the medicinal powder formulated by Rifan.

"I understand, Gion Vice Admiral."

"Also, I have an important report for you about Crocodile.

"Hina Commodore, who came here with us to investigate, and some Marines have lost contact with me."

"And Crocodile himself, has also left from the Rainbase City."

"Someone saw that he had gone to the Capital City in this country."

"I and Bastille Vice Admiral suspected that the movement of the rebel army over there was also due to Crocodile manipulation."

"Now Bastille Vice Admiral has taken people to the direction of Royal Palace to investigate ahead of time."

Maynard Vice Admiral said.

"Has we lost contact of Hina?"

"And Crocodile has already gone to the direction of the Capital City..."

Gion frowned tightly.

After thinking for a while, a light flashed in her eyes.

"Maynard, leave some people in the Rainbase City to continue the investigation."

"To see if  they can find Hina and the other missing personnel's."

"You and I are going to the direction of Capital City now."

"If the action of the rebel army this time was also manipulated by Crocodile."

"From our position, we also need to stop it."

After Gion finished speaking, she took the Marine cloak that Maynard handed over and put it on.

Immediately after, she took out the famous sword Konpira from the long box and put it in her waist.

"I understand, Gion Vice Admiral."

"I'm going to arrange for other sailors to act."

Maynard nodded heavily, took out the den-den mushi in his arms and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The location of Rifan, Robin and Ada.

—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—

[As expected of Brother Rifan, even his acting skills are so superb. With this acting skill, he can become a popular actor if the copy space didn't exist! ]

[There are also Ada and Robin, their acting skills are also quite effective. ]

[Have you seen Robin's performance just now? In the crying scene, she didn't even need an teardrop!]

[Eagle Audience: I am the director of Hollywood Movie. If Rifan can come back, and if Robin can come from the dungeon world to the real world, I am willing to hire them to film a blockbuster movie!]

[The director is here now, maybe Brother Rifan and Robin can win an award or something. ]

—•—One Piece Dungeon World—•—

"It's thanks to Captain Rifan, the aging medicine powder you created become a timely help."

"Otherwise, I might not be able to hide it from that lady."

Robin rubbed her face, and after a while, her face began to recover quickly.

The original wrinkles also disappeared.

The secret medicine attached to the traditional Kanpo Kenpo can make the aging person young.

Naturally, Rifan also wondered whether he could develop a temporary aging medicine.

After obtaining Chopper's medical knowledge, the aging medicine rumble ball  was created by Rifan.

But this thing has no effect other than temporarily aging people.

So Rifan just casually threw it in the consultation room.

On the contrary, Robin thought it might be used to hide herself and collected some.

Previously, when Gion was focused on Rifan.

Robin has already quietly put the tumble ball aging powder in her mouth.

And when Gion asked to see her face, Robin crushed the rumble ball and swallowed the aging medicine powder into her stomach and completely fool Gion. 

"That woman, from the inside to the outside, gives people the feeling of acting."

"Rifan, if she can make you cautious , does that mean she is very powerful?"

"And, is she our enemy?"

Ada rested her chin on one hand, raised her head and asked Rifan.

"I think that woman may be from the CP agency of the World Government.

"That kind of aura, I have seen it in the spy organization of the World Government."

"Perhaps, she is an agent of the CP organization."

Robin murmured.

"I don't know if she is a CP agent, but that woman is very strong.

"Considering the information we previously disclosed to Marine."

"Perhaps she is a strong Marine, but that's not necessarily the case."

"But it doesn't matter if she's from Marine or from World Government."

"We all need to get this Alabasta thing sorted out quickly and get out to sea as soon as possible in order not to encounter more people from Marine and World Government in the future."

"Robin, you know where Crocodile is most likely to be in this place."

Rifan said.

"Of course I know, please come with me, Captain Rifan."

Robin nodded slightly, then stepped forward to lead the way.

But after thinking about the previous experience of pretending to be Rifan's wife.

She took Rifan's arm again, smiled lightly and said:

"Come with me, dear~"

Ada shrugged and quickly followed up when she saw the two people who were walking in front of each other.

After more than ten minutes.

The largest casino in the Rainbase City, the basement.

"Rifan, there is no trace of Crocodile anywhere."

"I asked some of the casino staff and they said that Crocodile had left."

"As for where he went, the casino staff don't know."

Robin, who covered her face with a face towel, came behind Rifan, looked at Rifan, and then looked at the Marine who was trapped in the sea stone cage.

"Maybe these Marines will know something about it."

"Rifan, do you want to wake them up?"

"There is an old acquaintance of yours here, don't you need to help her?"

"She looks like she's going to die."

Robin said with a chuckle.

"Since Crocodile is not in the Rainbase city, he probably has already gone to the Capital City of Alabasta."

"As for this woman Hina..."

Rifan frowned slightly, recalling the unpleasant memories of using Hina and Tashigi to make deals with Marine in his mind.

If it was in the past, he might consider grabbing Hina again to exchange something with Marine.

But now, he has no idea of ​​trading with Marine.

And if the prisoner in front of him is another Marine, he can ignore it.

But since it is Hina...

'Forget it, I have a certain relationship with this woman.'

Rifan shook his head, picked up the kettle on the side, walked towards the sea stone cage, and opened the door with the key.

Then, he squatted beside Hina to help her up, and poured the water in the jug into her mouth.

At this moment, Hina is in a shriveled state.

Apparently influenced by Crocodile's Devil Fruit ability.

But because of Hina's good system, she didn't die on the spot.

But the other Marine lying next to her didn't have the same luck.

At this moment, they have completely lost their breath.

Only a small number of them are still alive.

Maybe it's because Rifan's movements are too big, and the follow-up is because the body has been nourished with water.

Hina, who was already in a coma, slowly opened her eyes.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the man in front of her with a scarf covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, Hina muttered.

Vaguely, she felt that the man in front of her was somewhat familiar.

"You can call me Rise, Miss Marine."

"By the way, what happened to you here?"

"Why do you guys become so embarrassed as Marines?"

Rifan changed his voice slightly, and said to Hina in front of him.

"what happened…"

Hina propped up her body and looked away, after seeing the Marine soldiers beside her who either fainted or lost their lives directly.

The memory that had been disconnected hit her heart again.

"Crocodile!"

"That man discovered our investigation, and now he has headed towards the Capital City!"

"Damn it, Hina has to stop him!"

Hina tried to stand up with strong support, but because of her injury, even with her strong system, she can only lay down in Rifan's arms.

"I think it's better for you to take a good rest. If you move around at will, you will die."

Rifan shook his head, took out some medicinal powder that could help restore physical strength from his medicine bag, and poured it into Hina's mouth with clear water.

Then he took her out of the sea stone cage and put her on the sofa beside him.

"Hina is a Marine, and Hina still has her due responsibilities!"

Hina gritted her teeth, still wanting to stand up.

"You should have companions, you can try to contact your companions with the den-den mushi."

"With your current body, and even when you were in your full strength, your not the Shichibukai opponent."

Rifan shook his head, put the water bottle into Hina's hand, and then pulled Robin and Ada towards the gate.

"wait wait wait!"

Hina looked at Rifan's back, wanting to ask for help.

However, Rifan opened the door and walked out as if he didn't hear her, and disappeared from Hina's sight.

Seeing this, Hina frowned slightly.

"Those eyes...and that back...how come they look so similar to Rifan?"

"Or, is it Hina's mistake?"

Hina murmured, and after looking at the water bottle in her hand, she took a big sip and began to look for the den-den mushi that was thrown into the corner by Crocodile in the underground office.

After a while, Hina successfully found the den-den mushi and dialed the number of Gion, the highest person in charge of the operation.

"This is Gion!"

"This is Hina, Gion Vice Admiral, I have something important to report."

"Hina? Are you okay, why did you lose contact before?"

"Hina was caught while investigating Crocodile, lost a lot of water in her body and lost consciousness."

"...how is your situation now, Hina?"

"Hina is no longer in danger here, and there are movements of Crocodiles hanging on the sand. Before Hina fainted, I heard him say that he was going to Capital City to carry out the plan."

"About this, we already know, and now we are heading towards the Capital City direction. Hina, after you resume operations, meet up with the Marine stationed in the Rainbase city.

"So that's the case, Hina understand."

"Wait Hina, don't hang up the call yet, can you tell me how you escaped?"

"Hina is..."

Hina frowned, recalling the familiar back and eyes again in her mind.

"What's the matter, is there anything inconvenient to explain, Hina?"

Hina's pause made Gion a little puzzled, so she couldn't help asking.

"Hina was rescued by a man named Rise."

Hina pursed her lips, after all, she still couldn't tell Gion what she thought about Rise's identity.

"Rise? Are there two women with him?"

"Gion Vice Admiral, do you know him?"

"I have been with him for a while, and he is a good man. It seems that I need to thank him in the future."

"What a coincidence! Rise actually traveled with Gion Vice Admiral for a while!"

"I'll tell you about this matter later. If Rise is still by your side, thank him well. I still have actions here, so I will hang-up now."

As Gion's voice fell, the call was cut off.

Hina frowned slightly, with some doubts in her heart.

'Is Hina's doubts wrong?'

'Rise has nothing to do with Rifan?'

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Captain Rifan, you didn't choose to take out the Devil Fruit of that Marine woman."

"Sure enough, do you like her?"

Robin followed behind Rifan and ask with a smile on her face.

"In terms of appearance and personality, she is indeed my favorite type."

"It would be a pity if such a woman died."

"Anyway, there will be a lot of things like Devil Fruit in the future."

Rifan shook his head and looked in the direction of capital city.

"Compared to this, since Crocodile has already headed towards the Capital City."

"Then we have to speed up too."

"You two, don't mind if I take you on the journey~"

As Rifan said, he put his hands on the waists of Ada and Robin.

When the two heard the words, they did not refute, but nodded with a smile.

The next moment, Rifan's figure disappeared in place, leaving only an afterimage running fast on the sand.

Alabasta, Capital City Alubarna. 

A hidden location somewhere in the Alubarna.

"Boss, it has been confirmed that both Double Fingers and Mr3 were caught by Marine."

"And there are still quite a few Marines out there looking for us at this moment."

"Shall we continue to implement the Utopia plan as planned?"

Baroque Work agent Mr6 came to Crocodile and asked cautiously.

Hearing the voice of Mr6, Crocodile raised his head.

"Of course it must be executed, Mr6, the rebel army has already taken action."

Crocodile said gloomily.

Today, he already knows that he has no way to carry out any utopia plan.

Marine would never allow him to obtain Alabasta.

However, even so, he did not give up the opportunity to find the historical text and learn about the Ancient Weapon Pluton.

This is also the benefit he can finally gain from his multi-year plan.

"After the rebel army got the weapons we supported, they are rushing towards the Capital City at this moment."

"We have also prepared a super bomb that can instantly destroy the rebel army and the royal family army."

Mr6 nodded and said.

"Very well, it would be best to use the super bomb to implicate the people in Marine."

"Mr6, you are doing well."

"After this matter is over, I can consider officially making you a senior agent."

Crocodile nodded in satisfaction.

This is also the good news that he has rarely heard these days.

"It is my honor to serve you, boss."

Mr6 bowed to Crocodile like a nobleman, turned around and left the room to make final preparations.

A moment later, Crocodile's slightly gloomy laughter rang out in the room.

"Kuahahahaha, no matter who it is, no one can stop my plan!"
