"Speaking of which, even Vladimir couldn't help but pause. Calling her a 'miscellaneous worker' didn't sound good, so he immediately corrected himself, 'She's our cook. That's all. You can leave now.'"
"…Damn it! Let's go!"
The Captain glared fiercely at Shadow Fiend. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and turned away.
He didn't dare to act. It wasn't a question of whether he could beat Shadow Fiend, but that attacking the Phantom Organization would lead to unpredictable consequences.
"Come back."
The Captain's body stiffened. He said angrily, "What else is there?"
"How did you know she was here?" Vladimir then asked.
"Coincidence!"
With a snort, the Captain left in a huff.
Once outside the inn, he couldn't resist punching the wall. "Damn Phantom Organization!"
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Report to Admiral Aokiji first!"
Saying this, the group quickly departed.
Robin stood by the window, watching the retreating Marines with astonishment.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
Just a name was enough to scare away a Navy Captain, who didn't even dare to say a few more words.
The Phantom Pirate Group, what kind of existence were they that even the Navy had to give them a wide berth?
She opened her mouth, about to say something, when Vladimir spoke first. "Your strength is too weak. Although you're not a combatant, we won't demand you have immense strength, but at least you need the power to protect yourself."
What standard constituted the power to protect oneself?
Robin didn't know how to express her feelings at the moment. After a long pause, she could only say, "Where is our ship?"
"Ship?" Vladimir was taken aback, then shook his head. "We don't have one."
He usually flew, occasionally using the Sea Beast Legion for transport. Ships were slow and meaningless things.
"What about a pirate flag? I've never seen the Phantom Organization's flag."
"We don't have one either."
"..."
Vladimir thought for a moment and smiled. "That's perfect. For now, you can design the Phantom Organization's flag."
As he spoke, he walked to the window. In his line of sight, he could see many Marines.
Robin, standing beside him, was speechless. What kind of pirate crew was this? No flag, no ship. If the Navy Captain hadn't been scared away just now, she would have suspected she was being deceived.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Is there a special reason you brought me here?"
"Hmm?"
Vladimir glanced at her and praised, "Good, very clever. I brought you here because there's something that needs to be dealt with!"
"What do you want to do?" Robin's heart tightened.
"The blueprints for Pluton!"
...
"The blueprints for Pluton?!"
Robin's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Shadow Fiend with surprise and uncertainty.
Vladimir raised an eyebrow. "You know about the Ancient Weapons?"
"As expected, it's an Ancient Weapon…" Robin shook her head and said in a low voice, "I saw related records when I was young. Somewhere in the world, there are three Ancient Weapons capable of overturning the world. You… no, we, obtaining the blueprints, what are we going to do with them?"
"Don't worry, we have no interest in destroying the world."
Vladimir said, "It's just a mission from the captain. Obtaining the blueprints is also to prevent them from falling into the hands of others, especially the Navy."
If the Navy obtained the blueprints and found someone who could understand the ancient text, with the World Government's power, they might actually be able to build a terrifying war machine in a short period.
At that time, the Phantom Organization would undoubtedly be the primary target.
"Of course, after obtaining the blueprints, we will make a fake copy and sell it," Vladimir said softly. "The blueprints for the Ancient Weapon. Those willing to pay a high price will line up from the West Blue to the East Blue."
"I see."
Robin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had joined the Phantom Organization, she couldn't keep up with the pace.
"Hehehehe…"
Seeing her relief, Vladimir couldn't help but chuckle. "This is no time to relax. Your first mission after joining us is to find the blueprints for Pluton in Water 7 and find a way to obtain them!"
"My, my mission?!"
Robin's eyes widened, and she looked at Vladimir in disbelief.
"Don't worry, I'll provide you with basic information."
Vladimir raised a finger and said calmly, "First piece of information: the blueprints are with a shipwright named Tom. Of course, he might have transferred them."
"Second piece of information: the World Government's CP5 has been keeping a close eye on Tom. Tom is currently a death row inmate. He used building the Sea Train as a bargaining chip for a commutation of his sentence, allowing him a ten-year reprieve. Now, the ten-year period has long passed, but the Sea Train hasn't been completed yet. The Navy could overturn the deal at any time. You'll have to figure out how to deal with this yourself."
"Third piece of information: the legendary pirate Shiki is also in Water 7. They are also targeting the blueprints. You'll have to figure out how to snatch food from the tiger's mouth."
"Fourth piece of information: Admiral Aokiji of the Navy is also in Water 7. It's quite a coincidence that you were discovered by the Navy as soon as you landed. Aokiji's purpose here is to invite a pirate to join the Shichibukai. This pirate is called 'Big Mark,' with a bounty of 320 million. Of course, if he's chosen to be invited to the Shichibukai, his strength must exceed his bounty."
After rattling off a string of information, Vladimir looked at Robin.
The girl was already in a daze, staring blankly at Vladimir, unable to utter a word.
Before this, in the West Blue, the strongest pirate she had encountered was at the level of 80-90 million, or rather, she had only heard of them.
