Chapter 335: You Transformed Into Me to Use a Seduction Technique?!
The scorching sun baked the golden sand, and the sea breeze blew in carrying waves of heat.
After Nami and Nojiko flashed their Marine IDs to explain the situation, the port returned to its usual bustling state.
In the busy harbor, the cries of merchants rose and fell, and large ostriches pulling cargo carts slowly wove through the crowd, presenting a lively and rugged desert atmosphere.
Under the casual gazes of the crowd, a small boat slowly docked at the pier.
The first to step off the deck was a tall young woman with long, slender limbs.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, gleaming faintly under the blazing sun;
On her cold and glamorous face, there was now an added touch of relief and gentleness.
She quietly gazed at the desert and town before her, her voice low but laced with nostalgia:
"...It's been a long time, Alabasta."
—This was the kingdom that had once dragged her into countless conspiracies. Now, stepping foot here once again, her heart was completely different.
Following closely behind, two more figures stepped off the boat.
A blonde young man with a gaze as sharp as an eagle's and a steady aura.
And a brown-haired young girl who was brisk and agile, her footsteps light, her smile full of vitality and cheerfulness.
Robin turned slightly, a smile curling her lips: "Sabo, Koala... you two didn't need to go out of your way to accompany me on this trip."
The three stood shoulder to shoulder against the backdrop of the golden desert, their identities practically announcing themselves—
Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army · Float-Float Fruit User · Sabo
Revolutionary Army Officer · Koala
Revolutionary Army Officer · Nico Robin
Ever since she was brought to the Revolutionary Army by Roy back then, Robin's life trajectory had been completely altered.
Dragon had even taken the time to personally bring her to Elbaf, allowing her to reunite with her former savior, Saul.
In that moment, the gloom in the depths of her heart thoroughly dissipated.
From then on, the "Devil Child" was no longer lonely. Instead, as an officer of the Revolutionary Army, she had truly integrated into her new "home."
The corners of Sabo's mouth lifted slightly, his tone relaxed: "Robin, we just happened to have a mission around here anyway. It was on the way."
Koala giggled and waved her hand: "That's right! Besides, there's a Warlord of the Sea stationed here. We couldn't just let you come alone; we'd be too worried."
Hearing this, Robin's eyes softened as she let out a light chuckle: "That really does... make me feel very reassured."
The three chatted as they walked, passing through the bustling streets and heading toward the city center.
However, right at this moment!
"BOOM—!!!"
A violent explosion suddenly boomed from the distant horizon, shaking the ground slightly.
The three abruptly looked up, only to see that in the direction of Rainbase, a sandstorm was churning in the sky like a giant dragon spanning the firmament.
And amidst the sandstorm, there was actually faint white smoke mixed in, shooting straight into the clouds!
The civilians at the port looked up in terror, murmurs of panic rising all around.
Sabo's pupils shrank, his gaze abruptly turning grave: "...A sandstorm?!"
He muttered in a low voice: "That's the ability of the Warlord 'Crocodile'... But the question is, who exactly is he fighting?!"
Robin narrowed her beautiful eyes, speaking calmly: "We must go over and confirm."
She turned to look at Sabo. Sabo nodded, reaching out to gently pat Robin and Koala on the shoulders.
The next instant, the air abruptly distorted, and invisible air currents lifted the three of them up.
The three figures pulled up from the ground, tearing through the sky and shooting straight toward Rainbase, where the sandstorm was wreaking havoc in the distance!
...
Alabasta · Rainbase
The blazing sun beat down, and the wind and sand wreaked havoc.
A golden sandstorm and pale white smoke roared and collided in the sky, like two giant dragons tearing at heaven and earth!
With every collision, the air vibrated, and sand, stone, and smoke churned, looking as if they were going to rip the entire city apart!
In the center of the battlefield, Crocodile stood with his hands behind his back, his cape snapping wildly in the wind.
His golden hook flashed with a chilling gleam in the sunlight. Behind him, the sandstorm coalesced into the phantom of a ferocious giant crocodile, looking down upon the surroundings!
"Marine... are you looking for death?!" His voice was deep, like a roar transmitting from the depths of the desert.
Smoker's entire body was wreathed in white smoke. The smoke from his cigars mixed with Armament Haki, condensing into a sharp aura that oppressed the air.
His gaze was like a blade as he shouted coldly: "Cut the crap! Hand over the 'Effort Pirates'!!!"
—The Effort Pirates?!
Hearing this, Crocodile froze for a moment, then flew into a towering rage. Veins popped on his forehead: "What the hell is the 'Effort Pirates'?!!"
His furious roar shook the sandstorm into a frenzy, yet his offensive didn't pause for even a second!
"Desert Spada (Desert Sword)!!!"
"SWISH!!!"
A massive sand blade abruptly formed—one capable of cleaving an entire street in half—and lunged straight for Smoker, carrying destructive power!
Smoker roared. The white smoke suddenly condensed into a steel-like giant fist, covered in Haki, and blasted out fiercely!
"White Blow!!!"
"BOOM!!!!"
The giant white smoke fist and the sand blade collided ruthlessly. The air was instantly torn apart, and explosive shockwaves swept in all directions. An entire tavern was instantly blown away, and the surrounding buildings cracked and collapsed one after another!
The residents of the oasis city, Rainbase, had long since been evacuated by the Marines under Smoker's command before the battle began, leaving only the battlefield to rage in berserk destruction!
...
On the other side, the scene of Ace's group clearing their battlefield painted a completely different picture.
The defeated high-ranking Officer Agents of Baroque Works lay scattered haphazardly across the ground, their groans rising and falling.
Mr. 1, Daz Bonez, was covered in wounds and locked tightly in Seastone handcuffs, yet he still gritted his teeth and held on stubbornly: "You Marines... what exactly are you trying to do?!!"
Ace squatted lazily to the side, his hands in his pockets, a wicked smirk on his lips: "I already told you we aren't here to arrest you guys. You're the ones who threw yourselves at us looking for a beating."
Just as he spoke, Mr. 3, Galdino, was pinned firmly to the ground by Luffy.
His face was deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. His Wax-Wax Fruit abilities had long been completely suppressed by Haki and brute force, and he looked like he was about to cry:
"But you guys came in looking so intimidating! Who wouldn't fight back in that situation?!!"
Luffy looked completely bewildered: "Huh? How were we intimidating? You guys were clearly the ones glaring at us first!"
The corners of Galdino's eyes twitched wildly, nearly vomiting blood on the spot: "So if we glare at you, we have to get beaten up?!!"
Meanwhile, the most miserable of all was Mr. 2, Bentham (Bon Clay).
At this moment, he was being stepped on directly by Nami. Nami's eyes were practically spewing fire. Grabbing his face—which had just mimicked her own—she was burning with rage, slapping him left and right—
"This is for transforming into me!!!"
SLAP!
"This is for using a Seduction Technique!!!"
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP—!!!
The crisp sound of slaps echoed across the battlefield, making the scalps of the other Officer Agents tingle with fear.
Bentham's face was already swollen like a pig's head, his features all scrunched together. Tears and snot smeared his face as he begged for mercy indistinctly through his sobs:
"Wuuu... I-I won't dare do it again... I really won't..."
Seeing this, Ace couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, Nami, don't hit him too hard. Careful not to kill him, or we won't be able to hand him over."
Nami glared at him viciously: "Hmph! Daring to use my face to do those disgusting things—even hacking him to death wouldn't vent my anger!"
Nojiko stood to the side with her arms crossed. She didn't join in the teasing, but instead looked up toward the distant battlefield.
The sandstorm and white smoke churned like dragons, berserk power wreaking havoc in the horizon, the air forcibly torn with pitch-black rifts.
The booming sounds seemed to come from a heavenly punishment. Every clash shook the entirety of Rainbase incessantly, causing the surrounding buildings to crack and collapse one after another.
Nojiko's expression was complex as she sighed softly: "So this is... a battle between Devil Fruit users?"
In that moment, she clearly realized—the chaos before her eyes was far beyond what the ordinary human world could endure.
BOOM!!!
Another earth-shattering boom came from the depths of the battlefield. Sand and smoke shot into the sky, seemingly intent on swallowing the entire desert.
Her long hair was blown back, her eyes reflecting the terrifying scene of the sky tearing apart, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
