Chapter 198 Cooperation
"The mayor has been assassinated, tie him up!"
After hearing the news, Rey couldn't help but fell silent at this time, because the matter had come to this, what else could he say? Rather than being a scapegoat here, it would be better to settle the matter directly.
After thinking it through, Rey no longer hesitated.
"Strobe!"
Rey took one step forward and then rushed out from the market door.
Although everyone wanted to catch up, they were far unable to keep up, so they had no choice but to let Rey escape directly.
"Forget it, don't chase me now, go find a doctor to save the mayor first!"
After Rey escaped from the mayor's palace, he thought about his current situation in the night.
"It seems that the cp9 group has already started to take action. In that case, let's see who moves faster!"
Rey knew that the assassination of the mayor was planned by the government organization CP9. Their purpose was very simple, which was to obtain the design drawings of the ancient weapon "Pluto" from the mayor, and secondly to frame his group as the blame.
The reason why Robin helped CP9 was because of the threat from the government organization. If she didn't help, the government was going to issue a demon-slaying order against Rey and his party.
On balance, Robin did not want them to be threatened even if the world was destroyed.
Since he knew the reason, Rey also came up with countermeasures.
Without any further delay, he went straight back to the hotel where Luffy and others were staying.
"Wake up! Wake up! Stop sleeping! Come out and talk!"
Rey knocked on the doors one by one.
Not long after, Luffy and the others all walked out of the room.
Since it was the middle of the night, everyone was drowsy. If someone else had disturbed their sweet dreams, they might have been angry. However, because it was Rey who woke them up, everyone did not complain. They knew it. Rey is a good person, so he knows he won't make such a joke randomly.
"What happened to Rey?"
Luffy asked looking at Rey with a sleepy look on his face.
Everyone also looked at Rey with confusion.
"Everyone wake up, I've investigated Robin's current situation!"
After hearing the word Robin, everyone's expressions instantly became excited.
"Rey, you really found the whereabouts of Sister Robin. How is she doing now?! Where is she?" Sanji asked eagerly.
"Okay, calm down. She's fine now. Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next."
Everyone nodded and then looked at Rey with serious faces.
Rey then told the people in front of him in detail about CP9, Robin and the Demon-Slaying Order.
"Rey, what do you need from us?"
Luffy asked directly, because out of absolute trust, he did not ask Rey where he got the news.
"Luffy, do you remember the Franky family?"
"The Franky family that you beat up last time?"
"Yes, I need you to find Franky. If CP9 can't find the blueprints, they will definitely attack him, so you take the lead in protecting them. And Luffy, Franky is a particularly good ship repairman. , if possible, I hope you can make him our partner!"
Luffy nodded.
"Then I can go alone!"
"You all go! You can still take care of each other when doing things, and remember, you must be careful!"
"Rey, what about you? Aren't you with us?"
"No, I still have other things to do, but don't worry, I will join you when the time comes to rescue Robin."
Luffy nodded and said: "Don't worry, Rey, I don't know what you are going to do, but you must be careful!"
After saying that, Luffy stretched out his fist towards Rey, and Rey bumped his fist into it with a smile.
"Okay, everyone, let's get going!"
Everyone nodded, and Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Chopper headed straight for the shipbreaking yard.
Rey returned to the city lord's home again.
As expected, the city lord was rescued again. He was sleeping on the bed, and the lights in the room were dim. After all, there were still a few hours before dawn.
Rey hid in the dark, and after everyone left, he ducked into the city lord's room.
He moved forward and stood directly at Asbagu's bedside.
The moment Rey approached, Asbagu suddenly woke up, then took out his pistol and pointed it straight at Rey.
"I didn't expect that you would really dare to come again! The person who assassinated me before was none other than Robin from your group. At first, I wasn't sure whether this matter had anything to do with you, but now it seems that you are really a group of crazy pirates. ”
After hearing these words, Rey smiled softly and said: "Mayor, please calm down. If I really want to kill you, your gun can't save your life, so you might as well put the gun down. Let me explain!"
After Asbagu weighed it for a moment, he put down the gun in his hand.
"Okay, what do you want to say?"
"Before I say all this, please ask me one more thing!"
"What's up?"
"Order, the Straw Dog Pirates are wanted!"
"What? Are you crazy?! You want your own pirate group to be wanted? Are you going to be a traitor?"
"Mayor, I told you not to be so excited. I don't deny that it was Robin who assassinated you, so you ordered us to be wanted. Isn't this normal?"
"What on earth are you going to do!"
"Mayor, someone came here specifically to assassinate you and put the blame on us, so if their plan doesn't succeed, why would they be willing to show up? In that case, it's better to just let them do whatever they want!"
Asbagu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what Rey was thinking.
"You mean to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Mayor, you are a smart man."
"But why should I trust you? Robin is your partner, why are you doing this?"
"Mayor, I know far more than you think. It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, but what I can tell you is that these people are here for the drawings!"
"Drawings? What drawings?!"
Rey smiled slightly, and then whispered two words: "Pluto."
Hearing this, Asbagu felt as if he was struck by thunder. He sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time. Then he frowned and asked softly: "Who are you?"
"Grass Dog Pirate Ship, Vice Captain Rey. Mayor, I think you also know what the blueprints mean, so I hope that we can cooperate with each other. You have to keep the blueprints, and I have to keep my partners! "
Asbagu did not speak at this time, he was just silent.
After looking at Rey for a long time, he finally said: "Okay, Rey! I will believe you just once!"
