Chapter 284 Melee

"MISS. All Sunday."

Tang Sen squinted his eyes and looked at the woman standing on the carriage.

"Nicole Robin?"

This woman, known as the "Son of the Devil," has the rare ability to read ancient texts and will later join the Straw Hats.

Tang Sen was very interested in this person.

Of course, it was not because of the other party's ability to read ancient literature. Tang Sen did not need this ability because he could understand any text.

What he needs is the other party's management ability and understanding of the dark world.

Nicole Robin was saddled with a bounty of tens of millions of Baileys when she was a child, so that for twenty years after escaping from her hometown, she hid in the underground world in order to avoid being tracked by the navy and bounty hunters. , relying on his clever mind and plucky tactics to survive to this day.

Betrayal and being betrayed are just daily life for Nico Robin. Such a character is very suitable to become her agent in the dark world.

Of course, there is another character Tang Sen who is also very interested.

MR.2, von Kray.

In the original work, this is a ladyboy who attaches great importance to love and justice. He developed a friendship with the Straw Hats after a brief encounter. In order to help the Straw Hats escape, he was eventually captured by the navy and sent to the Undersea Prison. In the follow-up journey, He also played a great role in Fei's prison robbery.

Tang Sen didn't value the other party's love and righteousness, he valued the other party's ability.

Superman type, imitation fruit.

He had a bold idea - if the other person turned into himself, could other people be given the mark of the Dark Lord?

My previous experiment of pretending to be someone else to harvest loyalty has failed, because the conditions for granting the Mark of the Dark Lord require clear direction, and it cannot be someone who already exists in this world. But if von Clay becomes himself, other people's Doesn’t the directivity point to oneself?

The results of this idea have yet to be tested, but the premise is that you need to gain von Clay's loyalty first.

"Hey! Don't be impulsive, Luffy!"

Usopp grabbed Luffy who was about to rush forward and shouted, "There are six people on the other side!"

"There are seven of us!" Luffy shouted.

"Eight!" Chopper corrected, raising his hoof.

"We have more people!" Luffy's morale greatly increased.

"Why don't you do some math? Only the three of you can fight!" Usopp glanced at Tang Sen: "Even if you add this gunman, there are only four people."

"Why do you care so much! We'll wait until we hit him!" Luffy didn't bother to think about this, and stretched out his arms directly to grab Nico Robin.

Nico Robin remained motionless, but instead, a strong figure jumped up, and his arm turned into a blade in an instant, slashing towards Luffy's hand.

Luffy immediately retracted his arm.

"It's so dangerous, this person can actually turn his body into a blade!"

"Then leave it to me." Zoro slowly pulled out three swords, bowed his waist, and rushed towards the opponent.

The sound of blades clashing suddenly sounded under the moonlight.

Except for Nico Robin, the other four people from Baroque Studio rushed over. Usopp and Nami were so frightened that they ran away. Luffy laughed and punched the fat woman in the front. .

The obese woman's body changed instantly, her facial features twisted like a mole, and her nails grew in an instant. She dwarfed and burrowed into the ground to avoid Luffy's attack.

At the same time, Von Clay was spinning and jumping close, and whipped his leg towards Luffy's head.

"Your opponent is me." Sanji went up to him, leg to leg.

Luffy simply met the remaining three people.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Tang Sen did not take action immediately, but just stood aside and observed the situation. Obviously, Sanji was okay when facing Von Clay and could hold his head steady, but Zoro was facing the quick-cutting fruit ability that can turn the body into steel. However, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Unknowingly, he had added several wounds to his body, but the opponent remained unscathed - with his current strength, he was still unable to cut through steel.

As for Monkey D. Luffy, although he is considered the most powerful among the Straw Hats, he seems to be in a hurry amid the siege of the remaining three Devil Fruit users.

"The situation looks a little bad." Weiwei looked at Nicole Robin, who had not taken action. "What went wrong, and the top management of Baroque Studio came out."

"Why are there so many Devil Fruit users! They all look like monsters!" Usopp lay down behind a stone and peered over the battlefield.

"It's over, I'm dead this time."

"Hey, that guy named Tang Sen, aren't you going to go up and help?"

"Why should I help the pirates?" Tang Sen said expressionlessly: "If they only have this strength and can't even defeat these minions, then falling here is a good thing."

"I've said it before, you can't deal with Crocodile by talking big words."

He snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited above the carriage. The next moment, his figure appeared in front of Nico Robin.

Nicole Robin was startled, and clasped her hands together. Several arms suddenly grew on Tang Sen's body. The arms neatly controlled each of Tang Sen's joints, and then exerted force without hesitation.

Click.

Tang Sen's neck was directly broken.

Weiwei suddenly let out a scream and was about to rush over to help, but she saw Tang Sen's body slowly turning into a paper man and burning up in the flames. The next moment, Tang Sen had appeared in Nico Robin behind.

Nico Robin reacted quickly and was about to get out of the way, but suddenly she felt weak and her ability disappeared in an instant.

Tang Sen put his hand on the opponent's shoulder, and in the palm of his hand, the Hailou Stone coin continued to work.

This is the importance of intelligence. Tang Sen understands Nicole Robin's abilities, but Nicole Robin knows nothing about Tang Sen. After using the paper man substitute to relax the opponent's vigilance, Tang Sen easily relies on The characteristics of sea floor stone subdued the other party.

"You are careless."

Hearing the voice in her ears, Nicole Robin struggled violently to escape from Tang Sen's control, but she lost her ability. Under Tang Sen's control, she had no room to resist.

"Who are you!" She could only delay her words while thinking about ways to escape.

"Me? You can call me Tang Sen."

Tang Sen paused and lowered his voice.

"Actually, this isn't the first time we've dealt with—Nicole Robin."

Nico Robin's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the land of Alabasta, the only person who knew her true identity was Crocodile.

Townsend continued: "Didn't you and your boss receive my letter earlier today?"

"Did you write the letter signed to Pluto?" Nicole Robin calmed down and analyzed: "So, you deliberately led us here. What is your purpose? You want to stop Crocodile's plan ? Or do you also want to plot against Hades? "

"No, I'm not interested in that thing." Tang Sen said flatly: "Actually, I know where that thing is. Crocodile's plot is destined to fail, because Pluto is not in Alabasta at all."

"My purpose of bringing you here is just for you."

"For me?" Nicole Robin digested the information in the other party's words.

"I hope you can work for me, Nicole Robin." Townsend said bluntly: "I value your ability. It would be too wasteful for someone like you to work for Crocodile."

Nico Robin relaxed. She was too familiar with this scene. Dealing with pirates and villains one after another was what she was best at.

"I'm afraid Crocodile will not agree to your request," she said.

"No, he will agree." Tang Sen said with a smile in his tone, "Actually, he is also one of the people I need."

"You want Crocodile to work for you?" Nicole Robin only felt ridiculous in her heart. She knew Crocodile's character very well, and she also knew how powerful he was. There was no way that such a person would succumb to others. .

But she didn't show any emotion on the surface, and just said: "If you can do it, of course I am willing to work for you. After all, it doesn't make any difference to me, right?"

"Of course there is a difference." Tang Sen released his hand that restrained the other party.

The ability returned to Nico Robin's body. She was surprised, but she did not take this opportunity to attack.

She is a rational person. Although she does not know what the other party's abilities are, she naturally understands in her heart that since the person in front of her dares to let go of her, he must have the confidence to subdue her again.

"Stabilize the other party first."

Nicole Robin suddenly had a plan in mind, and she asked: "I think I at least need to know what my future boss's purpose is, or what are you going to ask me to do?"

"My purpose?" Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly: "You will know later."

"As for what you are asked to do now, don't worry, you don't need to do anything."

He looked at the still chaotic battlefield and said: "I know you are just pretending to cater to me now and have no intention of being loyal to me, but I don't care, Nico Robin, I know you very well, better than anyone in the world." People, and even yourself, need to know you better.”

"I can help you realize your dream, of course, at the cost of your loyalty."

"My dream?" Nicole Robin chuckled: "I don't know what other dreams I have. For people who have been living in darkness, living is already the greatest luxury."

"If you talk like this too much, you will really become numb." Tang Sen said flatly: "On your shoulders, you still carry the lifelong wishes of all the scholars in O'Hara who have been destroyed."

Nicole Robin's expression changed drastically, "What do you know!"

She couldn't help but activate her ability, and several arms grew from Tang Sen's body, locking Tang Sen's arms in turn.

"I told you, I know a lot more than you think."

Tang Sen's voice sounded from behind Nicole Robin again: "For example -"

"A blank hundred years of history?"

Nico Robin's body suddenly stiffened.

Tang Sen stretched out his hand, brushed the side of the other person's face, picked up a strand of hair, and played with it leisurely.

"Nicole Robin, I hope this is the last time you take action against me."

"I, I know." Nicole Robin remained motionless and allowed Townsend to take offense.

"That's a little bit cool." Tang Sen retracted his hand, "Don't worry, I don't intend to use such boring reasons to pick on you. When the matter in Alabasta is settled, I will tell you everything. You It’s up to you whether you can bear the consequences of knowing all that.”

"If I could know the truth of history, even death would not matter to me." Nicole Robin said.

"Death is a very simple thing, but facing reality is difficult." Tangson paused and said, "It is even harder to change reality."

"I still have a lot of things to do, and some things are not suitable for me to show up in my apparent capacity, so I need you. Of course, it's too early to say these things now."

He changed the subject: "It looks like the green algae-headed swordsman is about to die."

"Mr.1 is the strongest person in Baroque Studio besides Crocodile. He was once a famous killer in the West Sea. He joined Baroque Studio after being personally invited by Crocodile. Even I am not his opponent."

Nico Robin asked: "The strength of the Straw Hats is indeed good, but there is still some gap between them if they want to defeat the senior agents."

"Do you need me to ask him to stop? Although he may not obey my orders."

"No, this battle was deliberately arranged by me." Tang Sen said calmly: "The Straw Hats need to fight and keep fighting. Only by stimulating their potential can they deal with Crocodile for me."

"Deal with Crocodile?" Nicole Robin looked ridiculous: "Only them?"

"Don't underestimate them." Tang Sen smiled: "Although theoretically there is a big gap between them and Crocodile, they are special."

"There are always some people who can continue to create miracles."

"Miracles." Nicole Robin was silent for a moment: "I thought people like you wouldn't believe in miracles."

Although she had only been in contact with Tang Sen for a short period of time, from the letter he sent and the conversation just now, she could feel that he and Crocodile seemed to be the same kind of people, both rational and cold-blooded, and liked to hide Behind the scenes, he manipulates human nature and is used to taking everything into his own hands.

"Don't define me easily." Tang Sen glanced at her and said, "However, I really don't believe in miracles, I just believe in the Straw Hats -"

"Of course, if they don't work out, I have a backup plan."

Tang Sen does not place all his hopes on Monkey D. Luffy. After all, he has changed the plot a lot, so it is still unknown whether the plot kill will come.

From a bright point of view, the current strength gap between Luffy and Crocodile is indeed like a huge chasm. Even with his own help, it is uncertain how the battle will turn out.

"Weiwei! Be careful!"

There was a sudden exclamation from the other side, but it was Miss. With her fingers, Luffy got into the hole to deal with the mole fruit. Miss. Merry Christmas, she broke away from the battle with Luffy and sneaked towards Weiwei. .

Sanji, who was fighting with Von Clay on the side, was startled and wanted to pull away to stop him, but was entangled by Von Clay and couldn't help shouting.

But it was too late, Miss.'s hands turned into thorns, and they pierced towards Weiwei's chest, which was caught off guard.

At this moment, an extremely harsh sound sounded.

Silan suddenly appeared with a destructive aura, and his body expanded, wrapping Weiwei directly. Miss. The thorns transformed from his fingers were inserted into the body made of Silen's violent magical power, and he was directly engulfed in an instant. Torn and bloody.

Tang Sen's figure appeared the next moment and stood in front of Weiwei.

"That's not a wise thing to do."

".It will kill people."
