"I never expected Miss All Sunday to be the renowned Nico Robin," Mr. 2 Bon Clay said, sitting in front of Robin on Leisure Island. He stared at her for a moment before retracting his transformed body, his expression filled with curiosity. "You defeated six Marine warships at the age of eight and were known as the Devil Child. I never imagined you were our Vice President. And now you've killed Crocodile – truly impressive."
Robin smiled. "It seems my identity has been exposed."
"That's fine. The stronger you are, Little Robin, the better," Mr. 2 Bon Clay said with a smile. "If the Vice President of Baroque Works is this strong, how powerful must Mr. 0 be? It actually puts us at ease."
"Mr. 0, he's much stronger than I am."
Robin said with a smile, glancing at Xia Qiu lying in the distance, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"By the way, Little Robin, did the President give you the task of killing a Shichibukai?" Mr. 2 Bon Clay glared at Robin.
Robin nodded. "That's right. Crocodile was obstructing our actions."
"He was a Shichibukai, and you just killed him."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay said with emotion. "I, along with my subordinates, can hardly believe it."
Robin asked curiously, "What do they think?"
"Think?"
Mr. 2 Bon Clay laughed. "They're incredibly excited that you could kill Crocodile. They believe Baroque Works is worth following."
"Is that so?"
Robin downed the coffee in her cup, licked her lips with her tongue, and smiled. "Alright, Little Mr. 2, it's getting late. I have a task I need your help with."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay asked curiously, "Little Robin, what is it?"
Robin said slowly, "I need you to disguise yourself as someone else and go to the Galley-La Company in Water 7 to order a submarine."
"A submarine?"
Mr. 2 Bon Clay rested his chin on his right hand. "I've heard of them, but I've never seen one."
Robin took a piece of paper from her pocket. "The requirements are on this paper. Take it to the Galley-La Company. Be careful to hide yourself and don't expose your identity. You'll be the one picking it up, and the money is in the box."
"But I don't know how to pilot a submarine."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay took the paper, looking troubled. "Bringing it back to you will be a problem."
Robin smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. When you place the order, you can leave two people there to receive training."
"Okay."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay put away the paper and looked at Robin. "I will complete this task properly."
"Then I'll be taking my leave."
Robin stood up and walked towards the exit, with Mr. 2 Bon Clay following behind her.
As they walked out of the building, Robin looked back at Leisure Island and noticed that the top of the island was no longer a giant sun umbrella but the head of a swan.
After killing Gardino, this place had become Mr. 2 Bon Clay's base.
"Alright, Little Mr. 2, I have to go now."
Robin walked over to Binchi and climbed onto it.
"Little Robin, the Marines are hunting you. Be careful," Mr. 2 Bon Clay said with concern.
"I will."
Robin nodded, sat on Binchi, and swam away into the distance.
Boom.
The Giant Beast slowly stood up and entered the ocean, swimming further and further away.
"It's so big."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay watched the Giant Beast, sighing with emotion, not recognizing that this creature had attacked him two years ago.
...
"Little Mr. 2 is the agent I have the best relationship with in Baroque Works, and he's very trustworthy. Although he's unreliable, he's the only one I can trust."
Back on the island, Robin said with some distress, "I still don't have enough manpower. Everyone in Baroque Works are assassins, and it's hard to trust them."
"They can be trained."
Xia Qiu wrote a few words on the ground.
"Yes, I need to train some members for other purposes," Robin agreed wholeheartedly, already having a few ideas in mind.
Xia Qiu wrote again, "What's next?"
Robin saw the writing and smiled as she replied, "Next, I need to meet with a few other agents to see their attitude towards me. If everything goes well, I plan to send Heckle to Alabasta to infiltrate the Royal Guard and find out the location of the Poneglyph. Once I know the location, I'm confident I can go in and investigate."
Infiltrate the Royal Guard?
Xia Qiu shook his head. Vivi and Igaram had joined Baroque Works two years before the original story began. According to the timeline, they should already be in Baroque Works.
They weren't even Intermediate Agents, but in two years, they would have been operating out of Whiskey Peak Town.
Heckle was Mr. 1, the last Senior Agent. He joined Baroque Works at Whiskey Peak, and almost everyone had seen him.
If he went, he would definitely be exposed.
Xia Qiu couldn't say much about Vivi's situation, so he simply wrote, "Too many people know him."
"You're right."
Seeing this, Robin recalled the scene when he first joined the organization. Knowing the Poneglyph was no small matter, she said, "Then let's send someone else."
Xia Qiu nodded and then wrote, "What about B.W.'s original plan?"
"The original plan?"
Robin thought of Crocodile's implemented plan to steal the country. Alabasta had already been suffering from drought for nearly a year due to the Dancing Powder.
Robin frowned. She could execute this plan herself, and it might not be impossible.
"Let's forget it. The plan is too complicated. Without absolute strength, it's impossible to control the subsequent developments," Robin said. "Besides, the harm is too great. I'm not interested in Alabasta; I'll find a simpler way to obtain the Poneglyph."
"Mm."
Xia Qiu nodded. He didn't want Robin to be distracted by Alabasta, which held little value and was highly dangerous.
Xia Qiu wrote again, "What about Mr. 1?"
"He's a problem."
Robin frowned and said, "I'm confident I can control the other members of Baroque Works. But Mr. 1 joined before me and has always been Mr. 1. I don't know his relationship with the founding of Baroque Works. His ability also counters mine, and his whereabouts are hard to track, so..."
"Kill him," Xia Qiu wrote a few words on the ground.
"Let's wait and see. After all, he's a powerful asset," Robin said softly. "I'll ask him to meet me and test him. If..."
At this point, Robin looked at Xia Qiu.
"Leave it to me," Xia Qiu immediately wrote, though the outcome was already decided.
The test she was planning would surely be an attempt to change the command structure.
But he already had a set way of communicating and acting. Any sudden change would inevitably arouse suspicion.
At that point, he would attack and consume him.
Mr. 1 was a Paramecia Devil Fruit user whose abilities required a powerful physique and rigorous self-training.
His power could be projected, sharpening his blades. Even Zoro, who blocked him, could see buildings behind him being cut.
His physical condition might not be inferior to Crocodile's.
Mr. 1 contained a lot of Reinforcement Energy and was indeed a threat.
Therefore, in his heart, Xia Qiu had listed him as a target to be eliminated.
Next, all that remained was to wait for Mr. 1 to meet Robin and kill Daz Bones.
