Saka opened the document bag and took out the paper document inside. Rows and rows of clauses came into view. All the contents and clauses were mainly to explain one thing.
The country of Alabasta took the initiative to carve out a coastal territory, allowing the Marine Headquarters to station troops here and exercise sea power on behalf of the country. All sea power, sea tariffs, restrictions and other powers were legally transferred to the Marine Headquarters.
In the Great Age of Pirates, transferring sea power was equivalent to assigning the country as a vassal of the Marine Headquarters. Saka saw the sinister intention of this document at a glance.
"What do you mean?"
Saka frowned. He turned to the last page of the document, which had been stamped with the military seal.
"Don't ask so much. If you want to solve this problem, put the official seal of the Nefertari Royal Family on it." Crocodile walked towards Saka. His burly body shrouded the other in shadow. His dangerous and cold breath stimulated Saka's tense nerves.
Saka stared at Crocodile with some embarrassment. He was tangled: "Because of the poisonous rain and those rumors, some members of the Nefertari Royal Family and some high-ranking politicians have been dissatisfied with me. If I sign this agreement at this time, I'm afraid …"
Crocodile looked down at Saka. He extended his golden scorpion hook and gently touched the crown on Saka's head. "The reason you have the chance to kill Cobra and sit on this throne is not because of Nefertari's support, nor is it because of those officials who can't see the situation clearly. You have to understand, all of this is because I gave you a push from behind." Crocodile's voice was hoarse and unyielding: "You have the chance to kill Cobra and sit on this throne, not because of Nefertari's support, nor because of those officials who can't see the situation clearly. You have to understand, all of this is because I pushed you from behind.
"So, you don't need to worry about these useless things. You just need to please me. While I still have the patience to talk to you, quickly finish what I told you." Crocodile grinned, revealing his teeth. The hook of the golden scorpion was stained with countless corpses. The strong smell of blood drilled into Saka's nose, making him tremble with goosebumps. "No one dares to take off the crown on your head!"
Sa Ka's face was flushed red, his eyes were bloodshot, and the green mark on his forehead looked even more hideous. He desperately suppressed the urge to roar and took out a seal from his bosom to stamp it.
"Also, don't make a fuss if you hear any movements from the royal tombs. My assistant is quite interested in Nefertari's royal tombs and wants to take a look." Crocodile took the document and said to Saka, "Don't worry, we won't destroy the cemetery. We're not interested in the dead. It's just a simple visit."
Saka gritted his teeth and glanced at the figure hiding in the corner of the bookshelf. He then looked at Crocodile and said in a low voice, "The buffer can only suppress the poison for two months."
"Don't worry, this storm is about to disperse!" Crocodile put the document into the bag and sneered. "As long as we get rid of the person who released the poison, we can get the antidote!"
According to Crocodile's logic, Smoker was the one who released the poison, and Yarlin was the one who instigated it. Then, the antidote should be in the hands of one of them.
Two months was more than enough time for him to do so.
Saka left the study with a sullen face. Nico Robin put the book back on the bookshelf and looked at Crocodile. Crocodile looked at her and said, "Are you sure Pluto is buried under Nefertari's royal tombs?"
Nicole Robinto adjusted her spectacles and replied slowly, "I'm eighty percent sure that it's the place where Pluto is most likely buried. However, from Saka's reaction just now, he doesn't seem to know anything about it."
"Saka killed his brother to seize the throne. It's normal that he doesn't know some of the secrets of the royal family. But since he doesn't know, that's even better!" Crocodile's eyes turned coldly. He ordered, "You are in charge of excavating the mausoleum. I will let Mr. 2 and the agents of Baroque's studio listen to your orders. While the palace has become a dead city, we can avoid unnecessary attention and trouble."
"The news of excavating the palace tomb must not be leaked. Although Saka doesn't seem to know, it doesn't mean that no one in the world government knows this secret. If the news leaks out, it will arouse the suspicion of the Gorōsei." Crocodile said fiercely. "You don't want to experience the Marine's order again, do you?"
The missing Poneglyph and the whereabouts of the ancient weapons have always been a taboo that the world government tried to cover up.
Hearing the three words "Demon's order", Nico Robin's body suddenly froze and shivered. Her trembling eyes seemed to recall an extremely terrifying scene.
"Remember, don't mess it up. In this world, only I can protect you from being discovered by the world government's pervasive spies. So, don't let me down." Crocodile glanced at Nico Robin and said meaningfully.
"I understand. I have always been very grateful for your protection. I will help you find the whereabouts of Pluto." Nico Robin looked at Crocodile's cold eyes and replied seriously.
…
Late at night.
The Den Den Mushi rang in the quiet pyramid. Yarlin suddenly opened his eyes and took the Den Den Mushi. "Calling late at night, I hope to hear good news, Crocodile!"
On the other side of the phone, Crocodile was sitting on the sofa, his fingers gently tapping on the documents on the table. His hoarse voice was transmitted through the Den Den Mushi. "In order to compensate for my guilt last time, I have asked the Nefertari royal family and the military to jointly sign the document you proposed. As long as you take it and hand it to the Marine Headquarters, everything will take effect immediately!"
"I think I feel some sincerity!" Ya Erlin grinned, revealing his white teeth. "I'm a magnanimous person. As long as I get that document, I'll forgive your betrayal last time. I'll let bygones be bygones and continue our cooperation."
"How can I give you this document?" Crocodile asked. "Also, I need the antidote for the poison rain in Alba. Don't tell me you don't have it."
Yarlin narrowed his eyes. "Interesting, you are also poisoned. If I pass this news to Smoker, he will be very happy."
"Antidote?" Crocodile said. "I don't like green tattoos on my body."
