Cactus Island, offshore.
"Reno, Captain of the Reno Pirates?!"
On the back of a turtle, a mysterious woman looked at the portrait in her hand, her beautiful eyes furrowed.
Beside her were the Unlucky Duo.
"Go back and report this to the BOSS. Being able to subdue Mikita is not to be underestimated."
Receiving the order, the giant sea turtle carried Robin and quickly swam towards Alabasta.
At the temporary base.
The battle had already settled.
Kaya used her Healing Power to cure the injured Igaram.
Igaram, fully recovered, began to deal with the chaotic scene.
"That otter just now could even draw?" Nami looked curiously at Mikita.
Mikita truthfully said, "They are the enforcers and messengers of Baroque Works."
"After they return to Alabasta, they will certainly report what they saw to the BOSS, and then stronger high-ranking agents will surely come after us."
"Captain, we should leave quickly. Don't get involved in this mess."
Just thinking about those killers made Mikita feel unwell.
She was only Mr. 5's partner; within Baroque Works, there were four higher-ranked killers.
Especially the ruthless Mr. 1. If he made a move, she feared...
"Don't worry, as long as Reno makes a move, he will definitely defeat Crocodile." Vivi's small head rested on Reno's arm, very dependent.
"Crocodile?! Who is Crocodile?!" Mikita was full of questions.

No!
Wasn't Crocodile one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why did Vivi suddenly mention him?!
Mikita, belatedly realizing, covered her face with her hands and exclaimed, "You mean the BOSS is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"
"Yes, didn't you know?!" Vivi tilted her head, confused.
Holy crap!
How would I know that?
Mikita grumbled internally.
Looking at Mikita's panicked expression, Reno teased, "Putting aside Crocodile's identity as a Shichibukai, his current bounty is probably around several hundred million Berries." (This is based on the original work's depiction; two years ago, Crocodile didn't have Haki, so his bounty would be at most this much.)
"However..." Reno then changed the subject, looking at Nami: "Nami, you might even be able to defeat him."
"Eh?!"
Nami was somewhat flattered, pointing to herself with her finger, uncertainly asking, "Can I really do it?!"
Reno nodded affirmatively: "Crocodile is a Sand-Sand Devil Fruit User without Haki."
That simple sentence revealed a lot of information.
Nami was no longer the naive little girl she was when she first started out; she instantly understood.
As a fellow Logia Devil Fruit User, and with her mastery of the Three Types of Haki, wouldn't she completely overpower Crocodile?!
She could hit Crocodile, but he was helpless against her.
Kaya and the others immediately gathered around, throwing themselves into Nami's arms, looking helpless.
"Nami, we're all counting on you. You must defeat Crocodile."
"That's right, Nami, you must protect us."
Nami looked at The girls, who were acting dramatically, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
She immediately put her hands on her hips, raised an eyebrow, and promised:
"Everyone, don't worry. As long as Reno is here, everything will be fine."
After speaking, Nami playfully stuck out her tongue at Reno.
Reno shook his head helplessly.
"Everyone, let's rest for a bit. Once the eternal pose is fully charged with magnetism, we'll set off for the next island."
At nine o'clock in the evening.
The eternal pose took an hour longer to store magnetism than expected.
Reno, along with Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, Nojiko, Kaya, Makino, Carmen, and Mikita—eight girls in total (unbeknownst to him, there were already eight)—returned to the going merry, ready to set sail.
As for Igaram, he had already returned to Alabasta with Vivi's eternal pose to inform King Kobra of the news.
Reno was naturally pleased to see this; he didn't want any other men on the going merry.
Besides, he still had to go to the next island to recruit Miss Goldenweek.
Alabasta was already rotten from within, so a day earlier or later made no difference.
What surprised Reno was that Robin didn't appear at Whiskey Peak as she did in the original story.
He didn't know what had gone wrong.
In fact, Robin had already seen their bounty poster. Upon seeing the portraits, she immediately recognized Reno and Nami.
One had a bounty of 30 million Berries, and the other 50 million Berries.
Although her bounty was higher than theirs, those who understood knew the reason why.
And the other party had real combat power, especially Nami, who was a Rumble-Rumble Fruit User.
Her Devil Fruit Ability couldn't withstand that, so she quickly slipped away.
Amidst The girls' laughter, the going merry set sail once more.
After dinner, the women instinctively left.
Mikita nervously entered her room. This was her first time living on a ship with so many people.
It felt strange.
Before the door could close, Reno followed her in.
"Captain... Is there something you need?!" Mikita's heart thumped, and she instinctively swallowed, her chest heaving.
"You're not a child. Are you pretending not to know when you clearly do?!"
"Late at night, a man and a woman alone, what do you think we're going to do?!" Reno skillfully closed the door and got straight to the point.
Mikita instinctively backed away. She knew, of course, but did he have to be so impatient?!
It was only the first day.
Reno didn't care. His 'demonic claw' reached out, and the tingling sensation made Mikita's body tremble.
Mikita gritted her teeth. Having betrayed Crocodile, her only chance of survival was to follow Reno.
Having understood this, Mikita threw off the hat on her head, lifted her right leg high, and directly 'kabedon'ed Reno.
Their cheeks gradually drew closer. Mikita's lips curled into an alluring smile, and her delicate hand gently lifted Reno's chin. She purred seductively, "Captain, please guide me."
