Chapter 851 Do you want Crocodile? Come and get him if you can! We put him in...
Time passed quietly, and Luffy and his crew finally arrived at the rainy land.
"By the way, does B.W know we are in this country?"
"You should know that Mr. 2, whom we met earlier, will meet with Crocodile and other high-ranking agents in this country. They will definitely report back."
"So what if you know?"
"Idiot! Once they know our appearance, it will be difficult for us to act! There may be B.W members everywhere in the rainy land. As soon as Crocodile finds us, he will do everything he can to kill us!"
"Indeed! After all, assassination is what they are best at..."
After several analyses, they determined that the Rainland was a dangerous place full of dangers, but since Crocodile was there, they had no other choice but to go in.
Sand Cafe, an ordinary coffee shop in the rain.
To open a restaurant in the largest oasis in the Kingdom of Alabasta, the monthly rent required is not a small amount. After all, for people living in the desert, selling water is definitely a huge profit.
In order to be able to sell water, there must be someone behind it, otherwise all kinds of troubles will come to them. Therefore, they not only need to pay rent, but also protection fees, and even various fees. This unspoken rule of business is the same no matter which world they are in.
In Rainland, the rent of these businesses is naturally paid to the state, but the recipient of protection fees is undoubtedly B.W Works, or Crocodile, because he is the richest, most powerful and most influential person here.
With him protecting them, basically no one dared to eat a free meal, except for some lawless pirates...
"Water, water, water, water! Boss! Give me some water!"
"Give me 5 buckets!! 5 buckets!!!"
As soon as they arrived at the rainy land, Luffy and Usopp rushed directly into the Sand Cafe - of course they didn't have any money with them.
After walking for a whole day from Youba to get here, the two were already extremely hungry and thirsty. As soon as they rushed into the store, they banged the bar and started shouting. Then, under the unfriendly look of the boss, they took the bottle of water handed to them and drank it in big gulps.
"Gurgle! . . . . "
"This water tastes so good! Let's bring it back to them!"
Hmm?? It seems like someone is looking at me??
Luffy and Usopp turned around and saw two familiar figures, Smoker and Tashigi. The four of them looked at each other. After a brief silence, two large gulps of cold water were sprayed directly on Smoker and Tashigi's faces.
“Puff!!”×2
“Run!!”
"good!!"
“Take the water too!!”
"good!!"
Luffy and Usopp turned around and ran with the buckets. Smoker immediately stood up and chased after them. Tashigi held a knife... and was stopped in the store by the old lady manager.
"Excuse me, how much does it cost in total?"
"If you are acquaintances, just pay for those two people together!"
Dashigi: “……?!”
The water here is not cheap!!
I haven't even received my salary this month, and I'm going to bleed a lot of money? Why should I, a navy, pay for pirates? Damn it! Damn Straw Hat Pirates, I'll take note of this!
"Stop!! Don't run!!"
"Who will listen to you..."
On the street, a group of marines were chasing the Straw Hat Pirates with guns and knives in hand, but dozens or even hundreds of marines were reluctant to fire even a single bullet, making this chase look as fake as it could be.
" Speaking of which, it's not a good idea for us to run on the street like this, right? We'll be discovered by B.W's people!"
"Well... I think it's too late!"
With their keen intuition, everyone realized that the roadside was full of B.W. members, and they were undoubtedly trapped in a battle royale situation. Not only did they have to deal with the navy, but they also had to deal with killers, both of whom were difficult to deal with.
Before long, Luffy and his crew were caught in a double encirclement, with assassins in front and navy behind, unable to move forward or backward.
"How troublesome! In that case... Weiwei, you guys go first, and we'll cover you here!"
"Okay!" Weiwei knew that time was urgent and she had to race against time. And because she believed in the strength of several people, she agreed without hesitation.
"Indeed, it's better to run separately in this situation! We'll meet at the 'Crocodile House'!!"
After that, Luffy jumped onto the roof to lure Smoker away, Sanji protected Nami and Usopp, and Zoro took Vivi. The group split into three groups, each leading away the pursuers.
As for Chopper… he went to the bathroom and hasn’t come back yet.
However, they were not worried about Chopper's safety because the navy didn't know that there was a Chopper among their group.
On a rooftop, a group of people looked down at the three forces rushing around in the street, ready to join in this unprecedented urban brawl.
"Hey, Erza, can we really have a big fight?" Natsu was so excited at this moment that he wanted to rush into the crowd immediately and beat anyone up without restraint.
Erza hesitated, but still said: "Kira said it's okay, so it should be okay..."
"It's not a city materialized by magic like in the Great Magic Fighting Ensemble, but hunting in a real city? It sounds quite interesting!"
Gajeel smirked and clenched his fists, "But are you sure these guys are as strong as those guys?"
He looked at the senior agents next to him, from Mr. 1 to Mr. 5, and their adjutants, a group of nine people were all here. As for Robin, because of the mission of the " Ancient Language Learning Group", she was teaching Lucy and Levi. Moreover, they were not in the rainy land at the moment, but had already set off for the capital Albana.
Yesterday, after Kira captured the people from Baroque Works, he wanted to take everyone away and leave Luffy and his crew empty-handed. But he thought this would be too boring, so he decided to start a "city hunting game" in the rain.
The following forces participated in the hunting game: nine former senior agents of Baroque Works and hundreds of Million Elders; the Straw Hat Pirates, plus Vivi and Bell, the deputy captain of the Kingdom Army who will be arriving soon, a total of eight people; Smoker, Tashigi, and hundreds of navy soldiers; and finally, the wizards who volunteered to participate, including Erza, Natsu and Happy, Gray, Gajeel, Lili, and Eric, a total of five people.
Yesterday in Yuyan's room, the fight between Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel was interrupted by Erza's three punches. They were feeling uncomfortable, but unexpectedly Kira presented them with a "hunting game", which made them overjoyed. They exclaimed, "Kira still understands us" and "It's great to have Kira as the president".
After hearing that the three were planning to determine who was better through this game, Eric could no longer sit still, and quickly found Kira and said that he also wanted to participate to verify his growth over the past period of time, and by the way, compete with Natsu and Gajeel to see who is the stronger of the two generations of Dragon Slayers.
After hearing that the four planned to stay in the rain and "do whatever they want", Erza was very dissatisfied, so she decided to stay as well, on the grounds of preventing them from playing too much here. However, I think Erza just found an excuse to stay, and in fact, she just wanted to participate in the hunting game with them...
Kira certainly had no objection to this kind of thing. He even thought that the more chaotic it was, the better, because it would be more interesting to watch, so he agreed to allow five people to participate.
Except for the five people who stayed behind, Kira and other wizards had already left the Rain Land on the 'Hope'. Their destination was Albana, and Kira planned to take the historical texts directly from the royal tomb.
Let’s talk about the hunting game that Kira prepared for them. There are four forces participating in the game, and the game venue is the entire Rainland. Naturally, there are corresponding prizes for games.
Of course, each party gets different prizes——
For senior spies, the prize is "appreciation and recognition from the leadership", which is equivalent to nothing;
For Luffy and his crew, the prize was 'the defeated and captured Crocodile'. Yes, Crocodile did not choose to surrender to Killer, but stubbornly stayed in the cage;
For Smoker's navy, the prize is "the defeated member of the Baroque Works";
Finally, the prize for Erza and the others is the simplest and purest money, one million Beli!
Since Crocodile's plan to steal the country has been exposed to Cobra, Alabasta can no longer allow Baroque Works to stay in its country.
You know, even if the Nefertari family did not go to live in Marinford 800 years ago, it does not change the fact that they are the descendants of twenty creators. It can be said that among the more than 170 countries of the World Government Alliance, their status is the most transcendent. Even if Crocodile is one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea", once he sets his eyes on the throne of this country, he will be purged by the World Government, removed from the position of Seven Warlords of the Sea, and demoted to pirates again.
Therefore, when the Navy and Cobra knew what Crocodile had done, he had actually lost, and losing the game naturally has a price. Now that the senior spies have been recruited by Kira, this price falls on their subordinates.
In other words, in this hunting game, the million elders captured by the navy were the scapegoats for Crocodile's act of stealing the country.
Crocodile and Baroque Works will be purged by the kingdom, and Yu Yan cannot just sit there and do nothing. The boss here is Crocodile, the store manager is Robin, and now the two of them are in Kira's hands, so the money in the casino naturally becomes Kira's money.
It has to be said that Yuyan is worthy of being the most famous casino in Alabasta. There was so much money in the vault that Kira took a long time to clean it up. All the money now plus the treasures, converted into Bailey, is at least 1 billion, which made Kira laugh out loud.
When he was putting these lovely coins into his personal space, he was grinning so foolishly that people around him wondered if he had a problem with his brain.
Seeing that Rainland was in chaos, Erza, as the commander of the two groups, finally gave them orders!
"Let's get started, the game begins!"
