Chapter 162 Robin Returns! 400 Million Baileys!
“Just like the favor topic proposed before.
I want Crocodile's life and his position as King of the Shichibukai.
Therefore, a revolutionary army with sufficient weight and strength is needed to deal with him, at least as the main force.
And you will get a living Nicole Robin, and a historical text recording the Pluto battleship. "
"So, do you want to trade?"
This was the last serious thing Ron said before hanging up. Betty's answer was that she couldn't make a decision and needed to think about it.
But the reply will be within one day at the earliest, and I hope Ron can understand.
after all,
This character, who was nothing like the "Emperor's defeated general", suddenly dropped such a bombshell that no one could be fooled.
Aspects involved are Pony, Bear, Nico Robin and even Pluto's Battleship.
An army commander cannot make decisions at all. After all, the Revolutionary Army is a large organization and has its own internal staff department.
Ron just said that he wanted evidence to be presented at any time.
Anyway,
There are as many photos of Bonnie as you want, and Robin in as many poses as you want.
More, that is the problem of the revolutionary army itself.
"BOSS, what are you doing?"
Robin's eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, what was happening now had nothing to do with the dark future in her mind.
"When I don't want to kill you so much, I still prefer people to do things for me willingly."
Ron crossed his legs and said with a smile: "As you can see, not everyone cares about the 'hundred-year blank' thing.
Since there are evil world governments, there are those who seek to expose them.
The Revolutionary Army is one such organization and I can assure you they are hungry for you.
A lot of it is because of your O'Hara heritage.
After all, in the eyes of those who rebel against the world government, O'Hara's scholars are the first to ignite the flames of resistance.
Of course, I also think you should be concerned about another thing now. "
"?"
Robin's expression that had just relaxed became tense again.
Because she thought of the content of Ron's conversation with the Revolutionary Army, and the entire article was based on the fact that the historical text recorded the whereabouts of Pluto's battleship.
It wasn't that she thought the other party was lying. She also knew that no one knew the specific content before seeing the historical text.
"There is a Pluto's Battleship in Alabasta" was Crocodile's original intention in establishing the Baroque Working Society.
She just relied on her knowledge to judge that the news might not be true.
but,
But the guy in front of him who was suspected of being a 'prophet' clearly said that it was a historical text recording the whereabouts of Pluto's battleship.
The credibility instantly increased so much that Robin began to waver.
Another question is, why did the other party deliberately remind me?
"You're confused, aren't you? In fact, the reason is very simple. I prefer you to work for me wholeheartedly.
I don’t like drawing cakes because I’ve had enough of them before.
So the guarantee of letting you see the text of history within a week still exists. "
Ron smiled slightly and looked at Robin meaningfully: "But I do know a lot."
"The whereabouts of the second historical text?"
Robin was silent for a moment and said with a firm tone: "You want me to do something for you in a safe and controllable manner, and the target is Crocodile?"
"Yes, even if the historical text of Alabasta doesn't record what you want.
I can also give you the whereabouts of another historical text. Although I don’t know the content, at least you still have hope, right?
But I made one mistake, it was not the target Crocodile. "
Ron put down his legs with a smile, sat upright, and said with a serious face: "It belongs to Baroque Works, including funds."
As he said, Ron didn't think of these people as stereotypes.
He knows that those who treat other people as fools are the real fools.
Especially facing a ruthless character like Robin who has rich experience and superb abilities.
The more you think that you can firmly control it by establishing a little advantage, the more you will feel your stupidity when it is backlashed.
The best thing to do is this.
Give her a way out, a way out that can see her alive.
Give her a replacement for Crocodile, or even a better place to stay.
Finally, give her an irresistible ‘meaning of living’
Even if Robin really learns that the historical text of Alabasta is not what she wants, she will do her best to help him for another piece.
It can be said,
From this moment on, Robin was one of the people who absolutely didn't want anything to happen to him.
At least,
This was the case before learning the whereabouts of the historical text on Sky Island.
As for the historical text of why it is Sky Island, it can only be said that Ron has already begun to prepare for a rainy day.
this moment,
Robin bowed his head in a real sense, and reported respectfully: "BOSS, the fastest amount of funds that Baroque Works can mobilize at present is about 400 million.
If you need it, it can be delivered here tomorrow. If you extend the waiting time to a week, you can come up with 600 million funds.
If circumstances permit, if this time is extended to one month, some fixed assets can be sold, and about 1 billion can be obtained.
If we ignore the existing structure of the Baroque Cooperative and carry out destructive centralization of funds, we will end up with about 2 billion.
Because a lot of money has been invested in building a network to keep Baroque Works from being exposed.
This part of the money is the largest expenditure and the most unrecoverable cost.
also,
A lot of the funds raised need to be invested in various personnel and deployment bases, and this part of the money cannot be recovered.
Then"
Robin reported in great detail the underlying operating structure of Baroque Works.
Maintaining such a large organization is not an easy task, not to mention the need to remain secretive.
Killing is certainly a good idea, but others are not fools, and not everyone can kill.
Violence is the fastest solution, but it cannot achieve the absolute privacy Crocodile wants.
So what Robin did was learn from spiders.
Weaving layer upon layer of hidden webs in the desert of Alabasta.
Layer by layer, we use the greed of people to build a protective cover for the Baroque Working Society.
The cost is certainly not negligible.
As for the effect.
Ninety percent of the tasks of the Baroque Working Society so far have been aimed at order and stability in the country of Alabasta.
From a practical perspective, however, little real attention was paid.
At most, it's just an example of a princess lurking with a guard captain.
Yes,
In Robin's mouth, Weiwei had long been exposed.
After all, this princess really followed what was said in the story and changed her hairstyle twice.
Just pretend that you are in perfect disguise and lurk in carelessly.
When Robin was reviewing personnel information, he looked at Weiwei's mugshot and was stunned for a long time without thinking about it.
After much testing, I found out that he was just too arrogant.
However, because of his vigilance, Robin sent him to Whiskey Peak.
After all, even if you seek skin from a tiger.
Robin also doesn't think what he is doing is right.
She would even deliberately reveal some information out of some unknown psychology.
Ron was convinced of this;
Robin, who was an enemy in the original timeline, showed mercy to the Straw Hats many times.
He even rescued Luffy from the quicksand after losing to Crocodile.
Finally, Robin read the whereabouts of the ancient weapon-Pluto's battleship recorded in historical texts in the underground burial sacrificial hall.
Knowing that Crocodile would kill her if he failed, he lied that there was nothing written on it.
to be honest,
Robin is a pseudo-villain forced by circumstances.
However, Ron had no enlightening thoughts about this. He focused more on the profits.
The long-term benefits of the Baroque are clearly not available now.
However, the short-term returns are still high.
At least he can start thinking about the billion-level jackpot!
The next day,
The golden sun leaps over the sea and spreads golden grace to the sea.
Darwin Island has returned to its former liveliness. Yesterday’s thunderstorm seemed to have washed the earth clean, making everything look so beautiful.
Ron was also in a good mood because he had received the funds provided by Robin.
400 million beli.
The pile on the table looked like a small mountain, and Nami pounced on it with eyes wide open.
"A lot of money! Now, Ron, how much can I take? You said you would pay me back three times!"
Earlier, Ron had borrowed money from her and Nokigao in order to gather the key props needed for the plan.
What's her sister's belongs to her, so she lent it to Ron.
and,
The money she borrowed was not repaid twice, but three times!
"A woman who falls for money."
Zoro's mouth twitched, his eyes disgusted.
We are obviously companions on the same boat, so we don't care about trivial matters.
Only this guy
But Nami immediately hit his head with her fist as if teleporting.
"I heard it! And it's only natural to pay back debts!"
"Even so, why are you hitting me! Do you want to fight!" Zoro was furious, and his whole body seemed to be lit with a layer of green flames.
"Really? Mr. Jianhao looks like he's going to bully a woman."
Nami looked pitiful, as if she had been treated unfairly.
"Ha!? It was obviously you who made the first move!"
"That's not what you said. What's wrong with liking money? It's not like everyone likes knives."
"As expected, let's have a fight!"
"Okay, okay, don't argue."
Nuoqi Gao came out to smooth things over.
As expected, Nami and Zoro started to quarrel again, which was already a common scene.
However, it was accompanied by a muffled sound and the sound of grinning breath.
Ron, who was staring at the money, knew that Zoro was suffering again.
After all, Green Algae Head is too upright to touch a woman.
Ron could see through this, let alone Nami.
He ignored it and just said: "I won't split the money this time. I have a use for it. Let's concentrate it first."
"ah?"
Nami walked to the sofa and sat down in disappointment.
Zoro now had two big bulges on his head, and he was helplessly comforted by Nokigao with an angry look on his face.
certainly,
Nokigao definitely couldn't hold Sauron down, he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
When facing female opponents in battle, Zoro always uses the back of his sword.
He suffered so much that he began to doubt himself whether he should ignore Nami.
In fact, this is how Lung accepted his fate step by step in the original timeline.
Ron has the absolute say when it comes to dividing money.
After all, everyone present had invested in him, so he was truly the moneylender.
As for why Nami clearly owes more than 300 million but still dares to ask for triple repayment.
The reason is also very simple.
When he decided to join Ron, he became a de facto group.
Nami, who had lost all her personal money due to the sinking of the Subcutaneous, went to talk to Ron.
The final decision was to use wages to pay off the debt.
For this reason, she even did not hesitate to seduce him into wearing the succubus angel suit she had bought in Rogge Town, which was similar in style to the succubus angel suit hidden under Ron's bed.
Although it was only once, Ron still gave in.
After making a decision,
Ron began to prepare for the lottery, and he recharged all 400 million Baileys.
The first is to replenish consumables.
Mana crystal, red stone.
There is no doubt that the magic crystal is the most important cornerstone of the Thunder system.
Ron unexpectedly took the lead in gathering the various combat systems that Ron had expected.
Under a thunderstorm.
All members can use the rapids to fly in the air and move at high speeds. There are almost no shortcomings except for Nami and Noki's high feedback. The rain is too strong and affects their vision and activities.
The Deaththorn Spear, which was originally used to clean up miscellaneous soldiers, is now equipped with a three-piece set of Loyalty, Riptide, and Lightning Enchantments.
It also directly produced a qualitative change effect.
Originally, without the blessing of thunderstorms, one shot would kill one person, one shot per second.
Moreover, the thunder gun transformed into multiple thunderbolts is extremely destructive.
It's basically a group of shots fired at a time, even because it doesn't need to penetrate the vitals of the human body, it can cause area-wide damage just by landing nearby.
Its trajectory becomes more erratic, and because the rapids are faster.
In Notchgaard's observations.
Even the Mr. 5 combination, whose average level of demons is in the tens of millions, is faced with high-frequency attacks from thunder guns.
There is no way to deal with it.
The explosion cannot destroy the Death Thorn Spear, which is extremely strong and can bear lightning strikes.
Regardless of whether the attack is successful or not, the Thunder Gun will cause a thunder arc splash in the range.
A little sputtering lightning arc is actually not a big problem, but the accumulated paralyzing minefield is different.
It is impossible to electrocute someone to death, but it is more than enough to paralyze someone for 0.3 or 0.5 seconds and cause their movements to deform.
This is how Jem died, his muscles paralyzed by the ever-increasing lightning arc field.
Then he staggered and was pierced and shot by a thunder gun.
On Ron's side, an electromagnetic mark directly eliminated Sara and the transvestite.
These two were definitely not weak in strength, but they were still unable to resist and were almost killed by the electric shock.
It can be said,
The thunderstorm system has almost no shortcomings except that it is expensive and consumes mana crystals for basic units.
However, Ron no longer had the magic crystal in his hand.
What was originally reserved for the plan was spent a lot due to various variables, and what was reserved earlier was all consumed.
Now I have money,
The first thing he replenished was the magic crystal.
The high-end VIP roulette wheel spins crazily, and 70 million Baileys are consumed in the blink of an eye.
Magic energy crystals appeared in the conference hall along with a large number of companion items.
Thanks to regular luck, Ron got 40 magic crystals.
There are also 30 1 million beli prizes.
I was wasted doing errands during the day. I was as busy as a spinning top. I barely squeezed out 4k when I came back at night. I really don’t have the energy to think today, so I’ll just do 4k for one chapter. It will be restored tomorrow. After tinkering with the harvest and getting the big prize, it's time to beat up Crocodile.
