Simulation: Start with one person

"Ah~ What a cute tanuki~"

"Asshole, I'm a reindeer!" Chopper roared angrily.

When we first met, the atmosphere was quite bad...

Chapter 221 The news brought back by Ikarem

After a few days, Fang Rui returned to the desert kingdom and found that it had not changed much.

In the luxurious casino Rain Banquet, the gamblers were still addicted to gambling. Wails and cheers resounded in the wide hall. They climbed up the stairs to the second floor and then entered Nicole Robin's office.

In the room, Nicole Robin was processing documents, and Crocodile was sitting by the window, holding a glass of red wine and shaking it slowly, looking at the desert outside the window, his expression seemed a little melancholy.

Probably in a state of confusion!After all, all efforts are in vain, and it does take time to regroup.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Crocodile turned his head and took a look. When he saw that the person coming was Fang Rui, he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to admire the scenery of the desert.

"You are back~"

Nicole Robin put down her pen, raised her head and looked at the door, and her words were quite respectful.

"Well, I'm back." Fang Rui responded first, then asked: "Have you confirmed the time and place to meet with Kobra?"

"No." Nicole Robin took out the phone bug, "I'll contact him now."

"Okay." Fang Rui nodded with satisfaction.

Planting trees in the Kingdom of Alabasta is a long-term business, so it naturally requires a little care.

Then, he looked at Crocodile who was admiring the scenery: "I will leave the reception work of the Kingdom of Germa to you, can you handle it well?"

Crocodile: "..."

Who do you think i am?

It's just a matter of receiving a few guests, so it's not difficult at all.

Crocodile, who was too lazy to respond, looked at the desert without speaking, his posture seemed a bit arrogant.

Fang Rui suddenly felt that his hands were itchy and wanted to stretch them out.

It was as if a cold wind was blowing hard against the back of Crocodile's head, making him feel a chill.

'Some troublesome people want to harm me! '

An idea suddenly popped into his mind. Crocodile suddenly became solemn and cast his sharp eyes around him. He soon saw Fang Rui's rather "kind" smile.

The source of the sense of crisis has been determined!

Crocodile spent 0.05 seconds thinking before he understood his situation and how to resolve the crisis.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

One word... failed to dispel Fang Rui's anger, and Crocodile was slapped into a pile of sand.

During this period, the conversation between Nicole Robin and Kobra had ended, and the time and place of the meeting had been determined. The location was Albana, the capital of the kingdom, in the evening.

After all, the desert is quite hot during the day.

It should be cooler in the evening so that we can have dinner.

It is a good habit to talk about business while eating.

Incidentally, the area for the first reforestation has been determined, which is Albana, the capital of the Kingdom.

After listening to Nicole Robin's report, Fang Rui nodded slightly: "Very good, then let's set off now!"

Fang Rui left with Nicole Robin, and a sentence echoed in the room: "Krokdal, don't run around, look after the house..."

Crocodile: "..."

Why does that sentence feel wrong? Is it an illusion?

Taking a ride on one of Alabasta's endemic animals, the water-land shuttle turtle, Fang Rui and Nicole Robin quickly rushed to the capital, Albana.

"It's obviously a turtle, but it can run so fast! It's amazing!"

There is a parasol on the broad turtle shell, and under the parasol are a coffee table and two chairs. Fang Rui, who is sitting on the chair to the left of the coffee table, stares at the giant turtle that is moving quickly with heavy steps, and whispers softly. sighed.

"After all, I'm very busy. How can the speed of exclusive transportation be slow?"

"Do you need me to provide you with an assistant?"

"If it can be possible, it is naturally the best."

"It's up to you to select your assistant yourself. Once you've made your choice, just report it to me."

"Okay." Robin nodded gently, indicating that it was okay.

"By the way, send Mr.1 and his partner to Drum Island. Mr.2 alone is not enough..."

The main reason is that Von Clay's character is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to. The target person who needs protection is likely to avoid him. Moreover, although Valpo's strength is average, Von Clay alone cannot do it if he wants to capture him alive. of.

"Remember to tell them that if you meet Valpo, remember to capture him alive."

"Okay." Not paying attention to who Fang Rui was talking about, Robin immediately took out the phone and contacted Mr. 1 who was on a mission outside.

As senior cadres of Baroque Working Group, Mr. 1 and others can be said to be quite free or quite busy, but generally speaking, they have quite a lot of free time.

After receiving a call from Nicole Robin, Mr. 1 and his partner immediately set off for Drum Island. As a senior cadre, Mr. 1 has his own transportation, a ship of ordinary size, so he can set off immediately .

………………

The capital of the kingdom, Albana.

The royal palace is located on a circular piece of land that is significantly higher than other areas, overlooking the urban area of ​​Albana.

In downtown Albana, in an ordinary restaurant, the store was deserted, with only five people.

One of them is the owner of the restaurant, and his expression is a little tangled at this time. Although the king's visit to his restaurant again is something worthy of bragging for him, but...

Can you please stop talking about important things in the store? !

He heard that he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that a guard would come to him, say to him, "You know too much~", and then slash at him with a knife.

He was both happy and worried at the same time.

In addition, another person's expression was also a little tangled, that is, Ikarem, who was persuaded by Vivi after some conversation. At this time, he had returned to the Kingdom of Alabasta and brought Vivi to King Kobra. News about the princess, and the mission to find out what the Baroque Working Society’s intentions are in the country.

Of course, the information he and Princess Vivi collected had been told to King Kobra, but the king did not believe it all and still decided to cooperate with Baroque Works.

Ikarem was very confused about this, but of course he could understand the king's choice.

After all, the green woods are too tempting for people living in Alabasta. Even if they know there is a pit ahead, they will jump into it.

but……

If there are spikes in the pit, they won't jump in it.

As for Bell and Gaka, as the two men in charge of the force, they didn't think too much about it. They knew that they needed to be wary of the Baroque Working Group, which was enough for them.

As for King Kobra, his thoughts at this time were also turbulent like waves, and various questions were rolling in his mind...

"Squeak~"

The sound of the door being pushed open echoed in the store, immediately interrupting several people's thoughts and attracting their attention.

Seeing the visitor, the restaurant owner consciously went to the kitchen and started cooking.

Cobra looked as usual, with a somewhat serious expression: "Please sit down."

Bell and Gakkar stood on both sides of Kobra, their eyes locked on Fang Rui and Nico Robin.

'To represent the Baroque Working Society, you should be at the top! '

Icarem thought so and looked at Fang Rui and Nico Robin.

Chapter 222

'Um?Looks familiar! '

Ikarem's expression was stunned, and he ignored Fang Rui, who was unimpressed, and focused on Nico Robin.

As a bounty hunter, he could say that he remembered the bounty orders issued by the Navy quite clearly. When he saw Nico Robin's face, a feeling of déjà vu emerged in his heart. Although there were some changes, but from the details Through analysis, the person in front of him should be Nicole Robin, known as the "Son of the Devil", and the bounty is 900 million Baileys.

It's very tricky, I need to call someone...wait a minute! ! !

Thinking of the amount of the other party's bounty, Ikarem subconsciously entered work mode, but halfway through his train of thought, he suddenly remembered that he had now gotten rid of his identity as a bounty hunter and returned to his original position as the kingdom's guard captain.

Immediately afterwards, his thoughts wandered off again, and he thought of Princess Weiwei, who was alone in a criminal organization and was worried.

Princess!I don’t know if I’m healthy!

Are you full?Dress warmly?He shouldn't be injured!He shouldn't have been bullied!

A pile of sorrow lingered in his heart, and Icarem's expression became sad.

I don't have the energy to think about questions like "Why are there bounty criminals in the bounty hunter organization, and they are also high-level...".

Neither Fang Rui nor Nicole Robin paid attention to the several changes in Ikarim's expression in a short period of time.

"Tell me about it! Why you invited me here."

The transaction has been settled, and we invited the other party to talk about it just before it started. It was obvious that something was going on!

'There is indeed something...'

Kobra was thinking in his mind but did not say it out loud. He smiled and said, "There is no special reason. I just want to invite you to have a meal and talk about the details of afforestation."

"...Are there any requirements for trees? It's not a big problem. Whether it's fir trees, poplar trees, or apple trees... as long as it's a plant, there's no problem."

Hearing this, Cobra immediately abandoned his original question and followed Fang Rui's train of thought...

"There must be more types of plants. As for trees, please focus on fruit trees... Do you need me to provide seeds? If necessary, I will send someone to purchase them immediately!"

"By the way, the desert is suddenly covered with plants, and there will be problems with water supply..."

Without interrupting Cobra's speech, Fang Rui listened quietly, but after a minute or two, Cobra still didn't stop. Fang Rui became a little bored and occasionally cast his eyes on the empty table.

So, why don’t you treat me to dinner? !

Where is the rice~

With food and wine, I can listen to you all day long.
