People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 284
"MISS. All Sunday."

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman standing in the carriage.

"Nicole Robin?"

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

Townsend was very interested in this man.

Of course, it wasn't because of the other party's ability to understand ancient literature. Tang Sen didn't need this ability, because he could understand any text himself.

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

When Nicole Robin was young, she carried a reward of tens of millions of Baileys, so that in the 20 years after escaping from her hometown, she wandered in the underground world in order to avoid the tracking of the navy and bounty hunters , has survived to this day by relying on his clever mind and the means to have both ways.

Betrayal and being betrayed are just daily life for Nicole Robin. Such a character is very suitable to be his agent in the dark world.

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

MR.2, von Klay.

In the original book, this is a transvestite who values ​​love and righteousness. Because of a brief encounter with the Straw Hats, he formed a friendship. In order to help the Straw Hats escape, he was finally captured by the navy and sent to the submarine prison. In Fei's prison robbery, he also played a great role.

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

Superman, imitating fruit.

He has a bold idea - if the other person becomes himself, can other people be given the mark of the Dark Lord?

My previous experiment of pretending to be someone else to reap loyalty has failed, because the conditions for granting the Mark of the Dark Lord need a 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 result of this idea has yet to be tested, but the premise is that he needs to obtain the loyalty of von Klei first.

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

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

"There are seven of us!" Luffy yelled.

"Eight!" Chopper corrected, raising his hoof.

"We have a lot of people!" Luffy's morale soared.

"Why don't you do the math, you three are the only ones you can fight!" Usopp glanced at Tang Sen: "Even with this shooter, there are only four of you."

"Why bother so much! Let's talk after we hit it!" Luffy didn't bother to think about it, he stretched out his arms and grabbed Nico Robin.

Nicole Robin didn't move, but a burly figure jumped up directly, his arm turned into a sharp blade in an instant, and slashed towards Luffy's hand.

Luffy immediately retracted his arms.

"How dangerous, this person can actually turn his body into a blade!"

"Then leave it to me." Sauron slowly drew out three knives, bowed at the waist, and rushed towards the opponent.

The sound of blade clashing suddenly resounded under the moonlight.

Except for Nicole Robin, the other four people from the Baroque studio rushed over. Usopp and Nami ran away in fright. Luffy laughed and threw his fist at the obese woman in the front .

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

At the same time, Von Kley was already close to him while spinning and jumping, and a whip kick came towards Luffy's head.

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

Luffy simply greeted the remaining three.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Townsend didn't make a move immediately, but just stood aside to observe the situation. Obviously, Sanji was fine against Von Klay, and he was able to stabilize his head, but Zoro faced the quick-cut fruit ability that can turn his body into steel. However, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Before he knew it, several wounds had been added to his body, but the opponent was unharmed—with his current strength, there was no way to cut through the steel.

As for Monkey D. Luffy, although he is considered the most powerful among the Straw Hats, he seemed to be in a hurry under the siege of the remaining three devil fruit users.

"The situation doesn't look good." Wei Wei looked at Nicole Robin who hadn't made any moves. "What went wrong, and the top executives of the Baroque studio came out."

"Why are there so many devil fruit users! They all look like monsters!" Usopp lay behind a stone, looking out over the battlefield with his head poking his head.

"It's over, this time it's dead."

"Hey, that Tang Sen, don't you plan to go up and help?"

"Why should I help the pirates?" Tang Sen said with a blank expression, "If they only have this strength and can't even beat these minions, then it's a good thing to fall here."

"I've said it a long time ago, you can't deal with Crocodile by talking big."

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 grew out of Tang Sen's body. The arms neatly controlled each joint of Tang Sen, and then exerted force without hesitation.

Click.

Tang Sen's neck was directly broken.

Weiwei screamed immediately, and just about to rush over to help, she saw Tang Sen's body slowly turning into a paper doll and burning up in the flames. The next moment, Tang Sen had already appeared in Nico Robin's behind.

Nicole Robin reacted quickly and was just about to get out of the way, but suddenly felt powerless, and her ability disappeared in an instant.

Tang Sen put his hand on the opponent's shoulder, and in the palm of his hand, Hailoushi's coin was continuously functioning.

This is the importance of intelligence. Tang Sen understands the ability of Nicole Robin, but Nicole Robin knows nothing about Tang Sen. Hailoushi's characteristics subdued the opponent.

"You're being careless."

Hearing the voice next to her ear, Nicole Robin struggled violently to get out of Tang Sen's control, but she lost her ability. Under Tang Sen's restraint, she had no room to resist.

"Who are you!" She could only procrastinate while thinking of ways to escape.

"Me? You can call me Townsend."

Townsend paused, and lowered the volume a bit.

"Actually, it's not the first time we've dealt - Nicole Robin."

Nicole Robin's pupils shrank suddenly.

On the land of Alabasta, the only person who knows her true identity is Crocodile.

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

"You wrote the letter signed by Pluto?" Nicole Robin calmed down instead, and analyzed: "So, you lured us here on purpose. What is your purpose? You want to stop Crocodile's plan ? Or, do you also want to plot against Pluto?"

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

"The purpose of my bringing you here is only for you."

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

"I hope you can work for me, Nicole Robin." Tang Sen said bluntly, "I value your ability. It's a waste for someone like you to work for Crocodile."

Nicole Robin relaxed, she was too familiar with this situation, 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 that it was absurd. She knew Crocodile's character very well, and she knew the strength of the other party. Such a person would never be inferior to others .

But she didn't show any emotion on the surface, 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, does it?"

"Of course there is a difference." Tang Sen let go of the restraining opponent's hand.

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

She is a rational person. Although she doesn't know what the other party's ability is, she naturally understands in her heart that since the person in front of her dares to let go of herself, she must have the confidence to subdue her again.

"Steady the opponent first."

Nicole Robin suddenly had a plan in her mind, and she asked, "I think, at least I need to know what the purpose of my future boss 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 need 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 you have no intention of being loyal to me at all, but I don't care, Nicole Robin, I know you better than anyone in the world." People, and even yourself, need to understand you better.”

"I can help you realize your dreams. Of course, the price is your loyalty."

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

"If you talk too much like this, 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 that have been destroyed."

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

She couldn't help activating her ability, and several arms grew out of Tang Sen's body, locking Tang Sen's arms in reverse.

"As I said, I know a lot more than you can imagine."

Townsend's voice sounded from behind Nicole Robin again: "For example——"

"Blank 100-year history?"

Nicole Robin's body froze suddenly.

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

"Nicole Robin, I hope this is the last time you hit me."

"I, I know." Nicole Robin remained motionless, allowing Tang Sen to commit offenses.

"This is a little bit more decent." Tang Sen withdrew his hand, "Don't worry, I don't intend to use such silly reasons to make trouble for you. When the dust in Alabasta is settled, I will tell you everything. It's up to you to be able to bear the consequences of knowing all that."

"If I can know the truth of history, it doesn't matter to me even if I die." Nicole Robin said.

"Death is a very simple thing, but it is very difficult to face the reality." Tang Sen paused: "It is even more difficult to change the reality."

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

He changed the subject: "It looks like the swordsman with the green algae head is dying."

"Mr.1 is the strongest person in the Baroque studio other than Crocodile. He used to be a famous killer in Xihai. He was invited by Crocodile to join the Baroque studio. Even I am not his opponent."

Nicole Robin asked: "The strength of the Straw Hats is indeed good, but there is still some gap in defeating the senior agents."

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

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

"Against Crocodile?" Nicole Robin said with an absurd expression, "Only by them?"

"Don't underestimate them." Tang Sen said with a smile: "Although the gap between them and Crocodile is indeed huge in theory, they are special."

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

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

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

"Don't define me so 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, I have a backup plan."

Townsend did not pin all his hopes on Monkey D. Luffy. After all, he had already changed the plot a lot, so it is still unknown whether the plot kill will come.

From the obvious point of view, the current strength gap between Luffy and Crocodile is indeed like a natural barrier, even with his own help, the outcome of the battle is uncertain.

"Vivi! Be careful!"

There was a sudden exclamation from over there, but it was Miss. With both fingers taking advantage of Luffy's burrow into the hole to deal with the mole fruit's miss. Merry Christmas, she broke away from the battle with Luffy and went towards Weiwei for a sneak attack .

Sanji, who was fighting von Klein at the side, was startled and wanted to get out to stop him, but he was entangled by von Klei and couldn't help shouting.

But it was too late, miss. The hands with both fingers turned into thorns, piercing towards the chest of Weiwei who was caught off guard.

At this moment, an extremely ear-piercing voice sounded.

Silently appeared suddenly with a destructive aura, his body expanded, wrapping Weiwei directly, miss. The thorns formed by the transformation of both fingers were inserted into the body cast by silently violent magical power, and they were directly crushed in an instant. Torn and bloody.

Tang Sen's figure appeared in the next moment, blocking Weiwei's way.

"It's not wise to do that."

"...will die."
