Chapter 841 As expected, the president of Baroque Works is... me!
The scenery of the desert is completely different from that of the sea, but each has its own unique flavor.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the travelers have enough water and food, and the surrounding temperature is suitable. Only in this case can they appreciate the beauty of the desert; otherwise, the travelers will only feel the high temperature, heat, strong wind, sand, thirst, hunger, fatigue...
Simply put, it's a nightmare!
Kira and his crew were undoubtedly the kind of travelers who had water, food, and air conditioning.
After closing the top ceiling of the Hope, the entire airship was completely closed. The special building materials automatically isolated the high temperature and high-intensity light from the outside world. Then the air conditioner was turned on inside, and the Hope became a cool and comfortable air-conditioned room.
They turned on the beautiful magic crystal chandelier, started the most popular dynamic music, and placed melon seeds, fruit cake, fried hamburgers, French fries, cola, chicken fillet, hot dogs, hand-pulled pancakes, double skin milk, mung bean smoothie, pearl milk tea, green coconut, mango jelly, octopus balls on the table, as well as a tense and exciting tabletop card game "Fairy Tail". Kira and his crew began to enjoy this leisurely and comfortable desert trip.
The crystal screen on the operating table can be connected to the mechanical camera installed outside the Hope through magic, allowing the people inside to observe all changes in the outside world at all times. In addition, the Hope itself is an automatic high-altitude navigation system, avoiding all kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous plants and poisonous animals in the desert, so there is no need to worry about a collision.
Wendy stood in front of the crystal bottle screen, looking at the rolling golden sands below, and couldn't help but sigh to the people around her: "Erza-san, the scenery of the desert is so beautiful!"
"Yeah, it's really good."
Erza nodded, but then seemed to have thought of something and said, "Wendy, be careful in the future and don't say such things in front of outsiders! It will make people think that we are greenhouse flowers that have never experienced hardships and can talk without any pain."
"But in fact, we are just ordinary people! Everything we have now is obtained through our own hard work and struggle. We should not be misunderstood like this!"
Wendy blinked in understanding.
Kira's voice came from behind: "Erusa is right! Everything I have now was obtained through my own hard work bit by bit, and no one can interfere!"
Everyone's face twitched: "Work hard? You didn't work hard at all! You are the one who has no right to talk about "working hard" among all of us!"
…
8 o'clock in the evening, Baroque Works headquarters, Spider-Man Cafe.
Although the name is Spider-Man Café, there is no Spider-Man shouting "With great power comes great responsibility" here. There is only a beautiful store manager who is making coffee. However, her real identity is Miss Two Fingers, a senior agent of Baroque Works.
Of course, she was not the only one in the store at the moment. After receiving the order from Mr.0, whom she had never met, all the senior agents gathered here, ready to go together to the dream city of the Alabasta Kingdom, Rainland.
Due to the intervention of Kira and his crew, Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week were not defeated by Luffy and his crew in the small garden, and they did not receive the order to be eliminated by Mr. 0. The same situation also happened to Mr. 5 and his partner Miss Valentine, who failed to redeem themselves from their crimes. Therefore, compared to the original work, there are more senior agents left in Baroque Works.
They are: Mr. 1, the user of the Quick-Slash Fruit, and Mr. Two Fingers, the user of the Thorn Fruit; Mr. 2, the user of the Mimicry Fruit; Mr. 3, the user of the Candle Fruit, and Miss Golden Week, the paint painter; Mr. 4, the fat baseball man, and Miss Halloween, the user of the Mole Fruit; Mr. 5, the user of the Explosion Fruit, and Miss Valentine, the user of the Floaty Fruit.
If Luffy and his crew were assigned to fight one-on-one, they would definitely not have enough people in the end. Fortunately, most of the people there are not very strong, so if they really fight, it can only take one punch.
A group of nine people also set out from Nahana, taking the special waterway used by Baroque Works' senior agents to pick up the ghost 'Fatty', and traveled overnight, heading straight to Crocodile's lair - Rainland.
The Santo River divides Arabas into two regions, east and west, from north to south. The capital Albana is in the eastern half, Nahana is directly south of Albana, and Yudi and Yuba are on the west.
As one of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' and the home of Crocodile , Rainland is the most economically developed and populous city in Alabasta besides the capital.
If Nahana is famous for perfume, then Rainland is famous for gambling. The casino in the center of Rainland, Rain Banquet, generates nearly one-fifth of the entire Alabasta Kingdom's revenue each year. The water resources here are very abundant, and it is the best among all the oases in the country. Therefore, it has the reputation of "Utopia".
On the morning of the second day after Kira, Luffy, Smoker and others left Nahana, in a room in the Casino Rain Banquet, all members of Baroque Works gathered together. Nine senior agents plus the 'Devil's Child' Nico Robin, codenamed Miss Sunday at this time, were about to start the company's high-level meeting.
As the president's only messenger, Nico Robin performed the secretary's work very well and immediately arranged rooms for reception of all senior agents after their arrival.
In the center of the room, there was a long rectangular table. After all the senior agents were seated, Nico Robin started the meeting as planned. "Before we get down to business, I want to introduce someone to you. That's the president you haven't met yet."
Hearing Nico Robin's words, several agents were stunned, because Baroque Works had been established for so long, and they had never had a person, never once, and had never seen this mysterious president. Now that the other party had just appeared, they must have made a big move.
"Is the company going to be disbanded?"
Gal Dino trembled as he held the tea in his hand and sipped it. His mind was working rapidly, speculating on the big things that were about to happen. At the same time, he had a bold idea that he had never dared to think of before, "If that's the case, will we disband? Or who will succeed as president? Could it be Mr. 1? That guy is capable, but his brain is not suitable for being the boss. If that's the case, I will be the first to leave! Mr. 2... If that kind of transvestite is the boss, we will be laughed to death, right? ! By the way, could it be me? After all, I am so smart, so handsome, and so capable..."
“Crack, crack…”
Miss Golden Week on the side was eating the senbei in her hand with an expressionless face. As the person with the highest IQ among all the spies present, she had already anticipated the content of this meeting, and therefore she was the only one who could concentrate on eating breakfast without paying attention to the people around her.
Mr3's face changed when he saw this, and he was worried that she would be punished by the president, so he quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Hey... Miss Golden Week, stop eating, at least consider the occasion, right?"
"Crack, crack..." Miss Golden Week ignored him and continued to concentrate on eating breakfast.
In fact, Miss Golden Week had long guessed that the president of Baroque Works might be Crocodile, the "pirate hero" of this kingdom, but there was no evidence, and she didn't care much about these things, so she just hung out with Mr. 3 every day, often slacked off at work, and left the fighting to Mr. 3, and at most used her brain.
In her opinion, the Kingdom Army and the rebel army of Alabasta are like powder kegs filled with gunpowder, which can be ignited at any time. At this time, their boss suddenly summoned everyone to take big action, which is definitely not a good thing.
Seeing Miss Golden Week's actions, Nico Robin just smiled lightly and didn't care. She had a good impression of this precocious country girl. "Before, I have been directing your work as his substitute, but now there is no need, because the time is ripe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chair at the main seat of the table slowly turned around, attracting the attention of all the agents.
Mr1: "Sure enough...I knew there was someone there the moment I entered the room!"
Mr2: "Here?! Is the person sitting on the chair our president?"
Mr3: "Show yourself, let me see your true face!"
Miss Golden Week: "As expected! The president of Baroque Works is..."
As the main chair slowly turned to the front, a bad, arrogant and crazy man appeared in front of everyone.
The man was about 20 years old, with long spiky black hair, strange iron nails on his eyes, nose, chin and ears, wearing a black metal suit, bare arms, with a strange black emblem tattooed on his left shoulder, a cigar in his mouth, and a black fur coat on his shoulders, looking like a bad boy.
He casually placed his right foot on his left knee, crossed his arms over his chest, raised his chin slightly, and sat there in a domineering manner, looking down at everyone present with an arrogant look. He was just sitting there simply, but his whole body exuded an aura of 'I am the best in the world'.
“Hehehe…it’s me!!”
This person is none other than the wizard of Fairy Tail, the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox!
"puff--!!!"
"What?!"
"What's going on?!"
"The president is so young?!"
"Ahem... Not Crocodile?!"
Mr1's face suddenly changed, Mr2 slammed the table and stood up, the future vice-chairman Mr3 sprayed out the black tea in his mouth, and Miss Golden Week's senbei fell on the table with a "click"...
All the senior agents were stunned at this moment . They seemed to have forgotten to breathe. They stared at the young man sitting in the main seat with their mouths wide open, their faces full of shock.
Of course, among all the people present at this moment, the most shocked person was Nico Robin!
Her delicate face under the hat was filled with confusion, her big eyes were full of question marks, her pink lips were slightly parted, and her brain was completely shut down: What's going on? ! Who is this man? ? Where is Crocodile? ? By the way, the coat he was wearing... seemed to be Crocodile's, right?
Why is he wearing Crocodile's clothes?
