Kingdom of Alabasta, early morning with rapeseed flowers in the seaport city.
The sky is still gray, but the fishermen have already put boxes and boxes of catches on carts, sprinkled them with ice, and sent them to the market.
The streets were bustling with people and the sound of hawking was endless.
Arrita and Xiaoba led Weiwei, whose head was covered by a black cloth bag and whose hands were tied behind her back, along the mottled wall into a secluded alley without being noticed by the ordinary residents here.
"Where are we taking her?" Xiaoba asked curiously. He still doesn't know where their destination is.
"We just need to find a quiet place." Arrita said firmly, "Mikita said that the Kingdom of Alabasta is full of spies from the Baroque Works, so the news of our landing should have spread. Yes, they will come to us."
"Oh..." Xiaoba nodded, not sure if he really understood.
Weiwei pondered in silence for a while before saying: "Arrita, Xiaoba, you can't hand me over to Baroque Works. You don't understand that Crocodile is not the kind of person who is willing to abide by his agreement."
"You don't need to say anything." Arrita shook her head, "We only obey the captain's orders."
However, Weiwei's words did provide Arrita with a new idea... Let's look at what the captain said before...
"be prepared"?
What are you preparing for?
The more Arrita thought about it, the more frightened she became. The captain's thoughts would always make her confused.
"But..." Weiwei wanted to continue, but Arrita pinched her arm, causing her to cry out in pain.
Arrita said to her: "My princess, it's useless what you say now. Shut your mouth and save some energy."
Weiwei's head was covered by a bag and she couldn't see the way forward at all. She could only move forward with the support of Arrita. This seemed to be a metaphor for her future, which was also dark and unable to find the direction...
She fell silent again in frustration.
The three of them walked for a while, deliberately avoiding the noisy markets and streets, and then stopped by an abandoned fountain to rest temporarily.
Due to the lack of fresh water, the fountain has long been dry and cracked. It is full of withered leaves and gravel. The surrounding area is like a ghost town, and no one can be seen.
After a long time, a sound of footsteps echoed in the alley, and someone came.
Arrita and Xiaoba raised their heads at the same time and looked in that direction, while Weiwei, who couldn't see anything, couldn't help but shudder. She could already imagine her own ending.
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of dying worthless.
Even though Icarim and the others sacrificed themselves like that in exchange for her chance to escape, in the end she was still handed over to Baroque Works by Davy Jones and his gang.
Soon, a man and a woman appeared in front of them, leading a group of people.
The man's body is round and fat, and his clothes have a capital "C" printed on them for no apparent reason.
The woman is older, but she is wearing a gorgeous dress that looks like a carnation, and the heels of her feet are quite high.
"I am Mr. 6 from Baroque Works, and she is Miss Mother's Day." The fat man introduced himself as soon as he came up. "We are here under orders to hand over to you. We hand over the money with one hand and the people with the other."
"Let me check your money first." Arrita said cautiously.
Mr. 6 immediately clapped his palms, and an ordinary member handed him a suitcase, put it on the ground, opened it, and showed the banknotes inside to Arrita and Xiaoba.
A full, heavy box.
Mr.6 also said: "Let me see the princess's face."
Arrita took off the hood covering Weiwei.
Weiwei was stung by the sudden light, closed her eyes, and then opened them.
"It's her." Miss Mother's Day confirmed from the side.
"We can start trading." Mr. 6 said.
"Xiao Hachi, look at her." Arrita said to the octopus man, then took the initiative to step forward and count Bailey in the suitcase.
After confirming the quantity and authenticity, she closed the suitcase, carried it in her hand, turned around and nodded to Xiaoba.
Xiaoba knowingly pushed Weiwei forward, pushing her in front of the members of the Baroque Working Club, and replaced her with one of their members to hold Weiwei captive.
In this way, the transaction is completed.
"Take her away." Fatty Mr. 6 ordered.
So, two people escorted Weiwei away.
Weiwei didn't struggle, she no longer wanted to do anything in vain, but quickly thought about what else to do next.
By the time Weiwei and the two club members left, Arrita had already walked back to Xiaoba.
The people from the Baroque Working Group did not leave. They all stood in place, and there were many more prying eyes around.
"Although I really want to say that the deal is over and the cooperation is happy..." Fatty showed a smile, "But the president has given us a task. If we complete it, we will be promoted to 'Mr. 5' and fill the vacancy. It depends on our performance this time. show."
really!
Arrita's uneasiness became a reality.
The fat man smiled and said: "At this moment, the navy should be attacking your black ship docked in the port, and what we have to do is to get rid of you two and erase all traces. Listen, there is gunfire from the port. .”
Arrita listened carefully, and indeed heard a dull explosion coming from the direction of the port.
However, she was not worried about the Horrible Ghost. Instead, the two of them were surrounded by a group of people from the Baroque Works. They had to be careful.
More members emerged from the alley, totaling about a hundred people, and they had blocked the way for her and Xiaoba.
"Xiaoba, do it."
Arrita shouted, then pulled out the pistol from her waist and shot the fat man and the woman in high heels in front of her!
boom!
Unexpectedly, the fat man and the girl with high heels were both unusually flexible, so they ducked out of the way.
The commune member behind them was hit in the head by a bullet and fell on his back.
"Be careful with her gun!" Fatty shouted.
Arrita lifted the mace stuck to her waist, holding a gun with one hand and swinging the club with the other. She knocked down all the members who dared to approach.
Even if someone were to attack unexpectedly, they would find that when their weapons hit Arrita, all of them were bounced off by her slippery skin.
This fruit ability gives them quite a headache.
Buzz——
Xiaoba pulled out six long knives, one of which was the famous sword "Huazhou", which was very sharp!
His "Six Swordsman Style: Sheath Foot Strange Sword" seemed to be a random slash, but in fact it was very effective, and he cut down several people in an instant.
The members took advantage of the large number of people and came like a tide, but they did not play the role of a group.
"Deal with one of them first!" The fat man glanced at the high-heeled girl, who nodded.
The pair chose Hachi to attack first. After all, Arrita's "superhuman-slippery fruit ability" was quite tricky. In comparison, Hachi was just a physical body.
Dong dong dong——
The fat man bounced on the spot, swayed like a ball, and crashed into Xiao Ba.
Xiaoba tried his best to avoid the fat man's impact, and then faced the "foot skills" of the high-heeled woman.
Her high heels were actually made of metal, and the heels were as sharp as thorns, and the cold light pointed directly at Xiaoba's eyes.
Xiaoba used his two knives to touch her heels with a clang, and the other four long knives slashed towards her waist.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk——
The girl with high heels had already escaped quickly enough, but she was still stabbed four times, and there were four wounds on her dress that were bleeding.
"Come again!" Fatty shouted without any discouragement.
"Okay!" The high-heeled woman responded tacitly, endured the pain, and took action again.
The pair of them attacked Xiaoba one after another, which was bound to make him unable to look at each other.
Xiaoba was not afraid, but waved "Huazhou" and put on a six-knife swirling dance posture.
"The Secret of the Six Swords Style: Waltz of the Six Swords!"
As soon as the fat man and the high-heeled girl approached, they were caught in Xiaoba's spinning knife dance, and they were violent like a tornado.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the six knives turned into countless knives and struck them!
laugh--
After six bloody blows, the pair of Mr. 6 and Miss Mother's Day fell together at Xiaoba's feet between light and shadow.
The bright reds intertwined together, setting off their gradually pale faces and widened eyes.
