Rain Din.
Built in the middle of the rain land, on an island in the lake.
The entire building is divided into two parts. The front part is the gambling hall, with a bridge directly connected to the street outside its main entrance.
The back part is Crocodile's private quarters.
The upper level is the VIP gambling hall of the casino, and underground is a large conference room, built entirely beneath the lake water.
The basement between the conference room and the front gambling hall is connected by a transparent underwater passage.
In the surrounding lake water, Crocodile raises a large number of giant banana crocodiles.
Banana crocodiles are ferocious beasts that feed on sea kings. They have a banana-like protrusion on their heads, and their sharp teeth can easily crush rocks.
These ferocious beasts are a means by which Crocodile punishes his subordinates.
Of course, they can also be considered his pets.
In the large conference room at this moment, Crocodile is leaning back in his chair, smoking and listening to Robin report on the gains of the past few days.
"Hahaha!!"
When Robin mentioned that the one responsible for destroying the Elum canal,
If she doesn't kill him...
Robin's thoughts disappeared, and she looked at Crocodile calmly and said, "The silver-haired group has come to Alabasta."
"Uh!"
Crocodile's smoking motion froze in place.
Robin didn't know the gap between him and Silver Hair, because in Robin's cognition, the strongest person in this world was Aokiji, whom she met when she was a child. Of course, she didn't know!
But he had been venturing in the New World when he was young, so he knew what kind of monsters could fight admirals. Moreover, this guy's bounty was twenty times his. This was not just twenty times, it was the World Government's emphasis on Silver Hair, twenty times his!
Although bounties do not represent a person's strength, every pirate with a bounty of over a billion is a world-renowned pirate, and he was very clear about this.
Why would he, a pirate, come to Alabasta and spend so much time plotting for the Poneglyph guarded by the Alabasta royal family?
It was because he clearly knew the gap between himself and the top monsters in the world.
Otherwise, he would never have come to play with these weaklings!
Now, such a terrifying fellow has come to Alabasta.
If he was here for a tour, it would be fine.
If not, it would be troublesome.
Although he was confident in his strength, especially in this endless desert.
However, for Silver Hair, who could leave wounds on Kizaru, whose strength limit he never knew, he... was a bit troubled.
Thinking of Mr. Christmas and Mr. 4 disappearing as Robin had just said, he put down his hand, stared at Robin, and asked loudly, "Did Silver Hair do it when those two idiots disappeared?"
"I don't know."
Robin's lips curved upwards, and a smile appeared on her face, because she felt a trace of panic from Crocodile.
This was an emotion that had never appeared in this guy since she came here.
It seemed she didn't need to guess. Judging by his reaction, although this guy was powerful, he might not be Silver Hair's opponent at all.
Thinking of this, the smile in her eyes deepened, but after sensing Crocodile's icy gaze, she quickly put away her unnecessary emotions and returned to her usual calm.
"Although I don't know if Silver Hair did it, according to the news from Billionaire, not long after they landed in Nanohana, they rented camels to Rain Din."
"To Rain Din."
Crocodile's expression completely turned grim. Fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at Robin, saying, "It seems those two brats really did it! Guhaha hahahaha!!"
There were only two routes to Rain Din: one was to go straight across the capital, and the other was from Elum.
The place where those two idiots disappeared was Elum, and the timing coincided.
After Silver Hair landed on the island, he didn't go through the usual routes but headed straight for Rain Din. If it wasn't to find him, it would be like lying to a ghost.
"Notify the Baroque Studio personnel on the island to gather at Rain Din. Since that brat Silver Hair is coming to find me, whether he's here to take my head or not, prepare yourselves!"
Crocodile had regained his composure by this time. He stared at Robin and said coldly, "How many Chief Commanders are there on the island?"
"On the island?"
Robin thought for a moment and replied, "Currently on the island, there are only Mr. 1 and his partner Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 5 and his partner Miss Valentine. The others are out on missions."
"Should I recall those on missions outside?"
"No need."
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and said, "It's too late to recall them now. Based on the speed of Silver Hair's group on their camels, they should be in Yuba now and will reach Rain Din by noon tomorrow at the latest. So, just gather the people on the island."
Saying this, Crocodile stood up, his killing intent surging, "If you want my head, come at me! Let me see if you brat are as strong as the news reports!"
"Gu, hahahaha!!!"
Based on what he knew of Silver Hair's personality, from the moment this guy set foot on the soil of the Alabasta Kingdom, he knew that they would have a battle.
And his personality dictated that he could not escape from a junior before meeting them.
So...
Let them come!
Let's have a battle!
In this desert kingdom, he feared no one in the world.
