Chapter 72 The Rain Goddess Walking in the Desert

"Devil's son, Nico Robin, bounty of 970 million Baileys. Capture alive only. Miss Allsunday. Can you tell me what you did?"

Off the coast of Alabasta, the warship that Nico Robin is on is approaching Alabasta. On the deck of the warship, Nico Robin contacted her boss, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile's Den Den Mushi. Crocodile on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was in a very unstable mood.

Hearing Shacrocodile's roar, Nico Robin just smiled lightly. In her arms, the rock dog was tearing a fresh sea fish, and its head was being gently stroked by Nico Robin.

"Tell me. What happened during this trip to the East China Sea? Why was the base where we purchased arms seized by the navy? And what's the matter with your bounty?"

After venting his anger, Shacrocodile gradually calmed down. He realized that he couldn't deal with Nico Robin at all, so he gradually calmed down.

"That base is the lair of a sea-king-like monster. Boss, didn't you read the newspaper?" Nico Robin had the latest bounty warrants and news in her hands.

The news agency was very curious and reported that several of them were inexplicably put on the shelf by the Navy or had their bounties increased.

"Is the Navy's report true?" Shacklockdale asked skeptically.

"Yeah. It's true. I almost couldn't come back."

The warship had already docked, and soldiers from the kingdom approached the port in an instant. Nico Robin put on a black leather cowboy hat, held the dog in her left hand, with a Den Den Mushi on its head, and took out a Rain Shell and a Thunder Shell in her right hand, and began to generate rain clouds and thunder clouds to carry out artificial rainfall.

The rain clouds and thunderclouds were pitch black and soon covered the sky above the entire port and gradually spread to the entire town.

The visibility was very poor on a rainy day, so the soldiers who came to greet the warship could only vaguely see a dark figure holding a dog coming down from the warship.

The cargo on the warship was stored in the empty Earth-type Imperial Pet Ball.

After Nico Robin used the Rain Shell, she placed it into the Water Imperial Pet Ball to replenish water.

When Shacrocodile heard Nico Robin's answer, he was skeptical, but he said that he trusted her very much and asked her to return to headquarters as soon as possible.

"Okay, boss. I'm back to Alabasta. See you later." Nico Robin didn't believe what Crocodile said at all. The only person she could trust was herself and the dog in her hand.

If there is anyone who can be trusted, it is the fool who risked his life for himself.

Thinking of Yun Tianxiang, Nico Robin showed an expectant expression on her face.

"It's rain! Rain!"

"Thank goodness, it rained."

"That's strange. There's no one on the navy ship."

"That's not right. I just saw someone coming down from the warship, and he seemed to be holding something in his arms."

"Never mind. It's raining today!"

The residents and soldiers of the port were dancing happily in the rain, and the officials guarding the harbor immediately reported what happened here to Cobra, the king of Alabasta.

Nico Robin was holding the rock dog and walking slowly among the jubilant people.

As she walked, Nico Robin felt a gaze following her. With a sly smile on her face, she closed her eyes and activated her devil fruit ability, which blossomed in a hidden place not far in front of her while she kept walking slowly.

Kosa, the leader of the revolutionary army of Alabasta, brought members of the revolutionary army to this port to replenish the revolutionary army's supplies. This port is called Rapeseed Flower, an important seaport in the southern part of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the closest seaport to the revolutionary army headquarters in Cattleya.

But today's port was a little unexpected, as the long-awaited heavy rain came to the country!

The heavy rain came very suddenly, and Kosa was very happy about it. His revolutionary army companions and the local soldiers and civilians were immersed in the heavy rain, even though the heavy rain was mixed with thunder and lightning, and from time to time there were thunders that fell and collapsed houses. But this did not stop them from welcoming the joy of the heavy rain.

It was just in this heavy rain that a man wearing a black leather cowboy hat and holding an unidentified object in his arms caught his attention.

It has not rained in Alabasta for several years. Even the merchants who have just arrived from outside are enjoying themselves with the soldiers and civilians of Alabasta.

However, this person had no emotion at all. He just walked through the crowd in a calm and ordinary manner.

This calmness made Kosa feel unusual, so he followed him secretly.

"It's Kosa, the leader of the revolutionary army."

When Kosa appeared in front of Nico Robin, she recognized him at a glance.

After knowing who was following her, Nico Robin lured the other person to leave the port city and come to a shady place in the desert.

Kosa followed behind Nico Robin. There was no shelter in the vast desert, and the distance between them was only a hundred meters.

There was nothing else except the rain falling from the sky around Nico Robin, which stretched all the way.

This is a sand dune, and there is an old windbreak made of stones at the bottom of the dune, where you can take shelter from the rain. Nico Robin sat on a flat stone, quietly waiting for Kosa to appear in front of her.

A distance of one hundred meters is not long, and Kosa soon appeared outside the sand dune. He did not rush in. He was thinking about how to start the conversation when facing Nico Robin, a stranger.

"Aren't you going to come in?" Nico Robin looked at Kosa standing in the rain and spoke in a cold and majestic tone.

"My name is Kosa, the leader of this national revolutionary army. Who are you!" Kosa put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back, then walked into the sand dunes. He looked at Nico Robin with a wary look.

"Hmph~" Nico Robin chuckled, "Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Your Excellency, why are you following me all the way when you are not busy with the revolution? Do you know who I am?!"

Nico Robin slowly took off her leather cowboy hat, revealing her true face. As he expected, Kosa didn't recognize her at all.

"Who is it?" Cold sweat broke out on his back. He felt twice as stressed as Nico Robin stared at him.

"Since you don't know who I am, then don't bother me." Nico Robin glanced at Kosa casually and activated the power of the devil fruit.

Four hands grew out of Kosha's back, removed his sword and the hilt, then held down Kosha's head, forcing him to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Nico Robin.

Nico Robin's cold tone was like the cold ice of the Netherworld. She took out an umbrella from the Imperial Pet Ball, slowly opened it, and then hugged the Rock Dog and disappeared from Kosha's sight.

In Kosa's eyes, wherever Nico Robin walked, the rain fell. This was simply the reincarnation of the Rain God!

"Absolutely, absolutely, she must stay in Alabasta. Even if she is a demon, she must be kept."

With the departure of Nico Robin, Kosa's restrictions were lifted. He stared at the departing Nico Robin and vowed to keep the Rain God in Alabasta!

Nico Robin walked slowly in the kingdom of Alabasta. The rain from the sky was just to help her find the underground sand that Yun Tianxiang mentioned, and find the historical text.

But what she didn’t know was that this encounter with Kosa, and the rainwater she carried with her in her search for the historical text, would lead to her being hailed as the “Rain Goddess who walks in the desert”!
