Chapter 38

I looked around the crowd and chuckled:

- Excellent ... I repeat again, lay down your weapons, or you will die.

At that moment, my team separated from the crowd of Crocodile and went in my direction, everyone was wounded and held out with their last strength, especially Sanji, apparently he still had time to cover Nami, she had only a few abrasions. Although, by their appearance, you cannot say that they are very unhappy, it seems that they had a lot of fun. Sanji seemed to be floating around with his bawdy smile, and he smelled of happiness.

Among the agents of Baroque Works, a movement also began, and a lame man without an arm and all cut in front of everyone came out, I barely recognized him because of the number of cuts on him, but then I looked closely and realized who he was. It was a bald man with a small head, but a large arm and legs. If I understand correctly, this is Mister One, or as he is also called - Daz Bons.

He stepped forward of the entire crowd of agents and tried to stand up straight, but almost fell, he was caught in time by one of the agents standing next to him. Yeah, Zoro did a good job, this guy is dying.

The bald man, holding on to the agent, raised his head and looked at me with his only eye, and said:

- We give up ...

All the agents around him looked at him, and then someone said:

- S-sir, are you sure?

Bones glanced at the speaker and growled:

- W-wanna die ?! And he sighed. - We are not their opponents ...

All the agents began to exchange glances, and then, having decided something, they began to throw their weapons to the ground.

I smiled and nodded:

"Okay, now get out and don't come back to Alubarna.

After my words, many pirates breathed a sigh of relief and began to disperse.

In general, I didn't care about Alubarna, or about Alabasta in general. I just didn't want some greedy agents to rush to Crocodile's base and take all the gold before me, and as soon as I pick it up, I'll have everything to the side. Oh, well, don't forget about Robin, she's still here somewhere ...

I turned to the side and said:

- Maybe you'll come out already.

After some time, a girl came out of the shadows. Then at night I didn't get a good look at her, but now ... Just a perfect body, long and snow-white legs, delightful shapes, large magnificent breasts, and her face was simply mesmerizing. Dark hair falling down to the shoulders, a thin and graceful nose, and these eyes ... Blue with a dark green pupil, before that, I had never seen such unusual eyes, they fascinated ... I thought she was very beautiful before , but when I saw it in reality, and even in the light of day, I just fell into a stupor. As I said before, the drawing in the anime, although it conveyed part of the beauty of the character, but this is only the smallest part, it was the same with Tashigi and Nami, and indeed everyone I met. They looked more like their characters after the timeskip, but much, much more realistic and beautiful.

While I stood there as if knocked down and admired the beauty, the girl stood for a while and giggled in embarrassment:

- Hee-hee, you stare like that. Am I not distracting you?

These few words brought me to my senses, and I coughed:

- Cough, I'm sorry, I just barely saw you before.

- Yes? What about my portrait? I'm so cute there ... - said Robin smiling.

I chuckled:

- A portrait cannot describe all the beauty, besides, you are quite a child there.

Robin raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked down at herself:

"Hmm, I think you're right.

* Phaaa *

Heard from behind.

- Hey! Sanji ?! How are you?! Wake up! - Shouted North. Heh, Sanji, Sanji ... He was lying covered with blood from his nose, with an obscene grin.

Zoro grimaced and chuckled.

- Fucking ero-kok, rightly so ...

I shook my head and turned to Robin, she smiled and looked at me. I asked:

- Will you go?

She was surprised and asked in response:

- Where?

I chuckled and replied:

- Look at the Poneglyph, at the same time you will show where this "sand guy" kept his goods.

The girl nodded and went somewhere, we followed her.

We reached Crocodile's base pretty quickly, it was in the capital not so far from the palace. It was a seemingly ordinary building, with a secret passage under the ground where the main base was located. Inside, everything was nicely furnished, quite rich and tasteful.

Nami did not beat around the bush and asked her question:

- Where is the treasury?

Robin pointed to the side and said:

- There.

Our navigator's eyes lit up, and she rushed in that direction, I followed her, like everyone else.

The treasury was not very large, just an ordinary room with a large safe filled to capacity with large belli bills. There were a couple of boxes of gold nearby, but according to my estimates, there are no more than a hundred million in gold.

- Usually Crocodile exchanged all gold for belli, cash is much more practical if you run a large organization with a bunch of people. - said Robin.

I nodded, I think this is reasonable, the pieces of paper are much easier to count than stones and ingots.

I turned to the guys and said:

- Let's take everything.

North asked:

- And how are we going to take this to the ship? We moored quite far away.

I thought about it. We could hire someone to transport all the good through the desert, but we could also swim closer to Alubarna, there seems to be a passing river not so far away. But you need to spend a lot of time on sailing ... Probably it is worth hiring a carrier, so it will be faster, I will send the guys with him, and I will finish here with Robin. After these thoughts, I nodded and said:

- Let's take the gold to the surface, and there we'll hire a carrier to the port city. You will escort him, and Robin and I will catch up with you later.

The guys agreed to this, and we quickly raked up the gold, bellies, and even dismantled the kairoseki cage piece by piece. Then they found a good carrier with several animals that looked like camels, and he agreed to take the load. So we split up, Zoro, North, Nami and Sanji stepped on the ship, and Robin and I went to the poneglyph who was in the "Tomb of the Kings".

Robin has been looking for a poneglyph for a long time, but she could not find it, so the fact that I know where he is, surprised her a little. To this I just lied that I had found the card, and then accidentally lost it. She didn't seem to believe me, but she pretended to believe, well, I didn't mind.
