Chapter 93: Entering the Rainy Land
Nicole Robin was waiting at a spot near the town, a location she had actively sought out.
After receiving news from the Five Elders, Crocodile became very interested in this already renowned hero. He then dispatched his men to patrol the island's various ports. Upon discovering Mu Chong and his group, he immediately notified them.
After learning about Mu Chong's sailing route, Robin voluntarily came to this location to wait. As someone who worked in intelligence for Crocodile, Robin had a more detailed grasp of the heroes' past information.
Robin, who was temporarily staying here for survival, had already been making plans for her future. The arrival of Mu Chong, however, gave her other ideas.
As the sun set, the golden-plated BMW carried everyone to the town.
"This carriage of the hero is truly extraordinary!"
After everyone disembarked from the carriage, Robin looked at the golden carriage and pondered for a moment before saying...
"Hahaha! If Miss Robin likes it, this carriage is yours!"
Mu Chong chuckled upon hearing Robin's words, and then generously said...
"Oh? Hehe, you're joking, hero. The Alabasta Kingdom has no shortage of yellow sand. This... I really can't see anything special about it. You should keep it for yourself!"
Robin was taken aback when she saw Mu Chong's serious expression, then covered her mouth and chuckled, slowly saying...
"Not necessarily! Robin, sometimes you can't really know the truth just by looking at the outside. I'm giving you this carriage as a gift, I think you'll like it, hahaha!"
Mu Chong straightened his robe, looked at Robin meaningfully, and then walked towards the town on his own.
Slard and his companions glanced at Robin, then at their captain, before pretending to know nothing and following behind Mu Chong.
"Meow!!"
The white cat Mumu tilted its head, looked at Robin who was standing still, staring intently at the carriage, and meowed.
"Huh? Hehehe, thank you, let's go too!"
The meow startled Robin from his thoughts. He gave an awkward laugh and followed the white cat, Mumu, into town, though he still glanced back at the brightly lit carriage parked at the town entrance.
Rainlands, one of the important towns in the Kingdom of Alabasta, is located in the northwest of the country. Known as the "City of Dreams," it is also called the "City of Gambling" because it is full of casinos.
Similarly, this is also the headquarters of Baroque Studio, founded by Shakkyal.
Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, created the largest casino in the area, "Rain Banquet," where he amassed wealth while simultaneously plotting unseen schemes.
Just as Mu Chong and his group stepped into the Rainfield, inside a luxurious house in the heart of the Rainfield, a Den Den Mushi was making a sound on the table.
Bru bru...

"Reporting to the president, the group of heroes has entered the Rain Land and is currently being led by Miss.all Sunday!"
A very low voice came from the Den Den Mushi; judging from the voice, the speaker was extremely cautious.
"understood!"

"Hmph, Nico Robin, what exactly are you trying to do? You didn't report the hero's whereabouts immediately. If I didn't need you to decipher the Poneglyphs..."
Seated in his chair, Crocodile took a deep drag on his cigar, a sinister glint in his eyes, and muttered to himself.
As the smoke dissipated, Crocodile's voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared into the darkness.
Inside a tavern in the rain
"Captain, there's a group of rats sneaking around us. Should we deal with them?"
As soon as Mu Chong and his group sat down, Enel leaned close to Mu Chong and whispered something.
"Hmm? Hehehe, no need, Enel. We're already on someone else's turf. Those few rats are harmless. Sometimes, the presence of rats can actually help things progress!"
Mu Chong chuckled softly, a red glint flashing in his eyes, as he replied to Enel while glancing at Robin who was slowly approaching.
"Hero, order whatever you like! This is our Baroque Works tavern, and this meal is on the house!"
Robin walked to the dining table and spoke confidently to Mu Chong.
"Hahaha! Thank you so much, Robin! Brothers, let's get started. Don't let his kindness go to waste. Order more, and take the leftovers home!"
Mu Chong laughed heartily. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy! If that's the case, then he wouldn't be polite.
As Mu Chong finished speaking, everyone began ordering food frantically, a commotion that left Robin stunned, wondering if she had done something wrong.
Mu Chong looked up and saw the slightly dazed expression on Robin's face. A smile immediately spread through him. In this short distance from the desert to the town, Mu Chong had truly grasped Robin's remarkable survival skills.
From eight-year-old Robin when Ohara was destroyed to the twenty-eight-year-old Robin now, she has endured twenty years of wandering, honing her formidable survival skills into a beautiful and always approachable young woman.
Beneath beautiful feathers, a terrifying demon always lurks.
"Hmm? Hero, what are you looking at?"
Robin, who had already sat down, felt Mu Chong's gaze on him, so he turned his head and said with a smile.
"Ah! It's nothing. It's just that having dinner with such a beautiful woman is a wonderful thing, hahaha, it's making me a little distracted!"
"whispering sound!"
"cut!"
"Meow!!!"
"Hey hey hey!"
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, he heard several unusual voices coming from around the dining table, which immediately made Mu Chong blush.
Fortunately, the food was served at that moment. Mu Chong grabbed a large piece of meat and started eating it, thus covering up his embarrassment.
"Hahaha……"
Loud laughter erupted from the dining table. Slad and the others laughed without any restraint; it was the first time they had ever seen their captain so adorable.
boom!
"Have a meal!"
Swish!
As Mu Chong slammed his hand on the table, the previously loud laughter instantly fell silent, leaving only the sound of people shoveling rice into their mouths.
"Hehehehe..."
Robin smiled softly at the sight. Perhaps this was the first time in many years she had experienced such an atmosphere, and it felt quite nice.
"Hey Robin, is Crocodile planning to meet us tonight?"
After eating for a while, Mu Chong suddenly looked up at Robin and casually asked...
"Hmm? Excuse me, I'm going to make a phone call!"
Robin was clearly taken aback by Mu Chong's words. She wasn't surprised that Mu Chong knew who her boss was, but what surprised her was that she had forgotten to report it to her boss.
After Robin finished speaking, she hurried towards the tavern's kitchen, seemingly to contact Crocodile using a Den Den Mushi.
"Hehehe! Interesting!!"
Seeing Robin leave, Mu Chong stopped eating and muttered something under his breath.
"Captain, should we take action?"
Just as Mu Chong stopped eating, everyone at the table, except for the white cat Mu Mu who was still gnawing on a bone, put down their food.
Slad, who was closest to Mu Chong, asked with a solemn expression.
"Enel, how many rats are around here?"
Instead of answering Slade's question directly, Mu Chong asked Enel while wiping his hands.
Upon hearing Mu Chong's question, Enel closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki instantly spread out, forming a vast net that enveloped the rain-soaked ground under the night sky.
"Captain, around this tavern, there are about a hundred rats armed with weapons, hmm? And one slightly larger rat..."
Enel closed his eyes for only a moment before opening them and turning to Mu Chong, saying...
"Heh, it seems this sand crocodile doesn't have much information about us. Tch, a hundred rats? They won't make a difference. Let's eat, get a good night's sleep, and go meet that toothless crocodile tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Enel's words, Mu Chong's eyes flashed with a faint smile. After speaking with the others, he resumed eating.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, or perhaps something was brewing.
