Chapter 86

After knowing that Vivi's assassination attempt had failed, Crocodile called for a meeting that would be attended by the high agents.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the plan B. Where the baroque works would take the lead to trigger the rebellion, create fake evidence on the Royal family. To discuss this plan, to explain it, and how the available agents of the baroque would play their roles, Crocodile called this urgent meeting.

Here, Crocodile would move personally, and unlike the time where he was attacking the reputation of the King of Alabasta. The baroque works would slay the people of Alabasta in the name of the king. This would happen of course, after kidnapping the king of Alabasta and replacing him by Mister 2, who has the ability to change his face to anyone he touches for once.

This meeting isn't only important to Crocodile. But to Lucas. The young commodore who is trying to make living by getting a promotion.

Lucas had been preparing for this meeting more than Crocodile himself. He already prepared all the equipment he needs through the navy and the black market. This meeting was the perfect chance to get the absolute evidence on Crocodile, and making him lose his seat as a warlord. Lucas has been waiting for this moment, from the moment he came to Alabasta, and he won't waste the chance.

The rebellion's camp.

It has been one hour since Vivi had met with the leader of the rebels, Koza.

Koza wasn't only the rebel leader. But he was a friend with Vivi for more than 11 years. They both were close childhood friends. And he once saved Vivi when she was kidnapped as a child. they were very close as children. But when they grew up, the difference between the social pose had created a wide gap between them.

But Koza is still holding some respect for Vivi and was more than willing to hear her out.

Lucas was sitting on a rock. Waiting for the results of this meeting before leaving, to meet Mikita and start working on taking Crocodile down.

Lucas was watching the intense speech between Koza and Vivi. Vivi was trying her best, while Koza was trying to deny and argue back.

'Oh my. This shit is better than wrestling ' Lucas thought while watching the debate.

After one hour, Vivi was able to convince Koza to stop the rebellion temporarily.

They agreed that the rebels would watch the baroque works and Crocodile movement for a month to confirm her claims. It was unknown that the Warlord, Crocodile, is behind the Baroque works. So, the rebels had to check.

Seeing this. Lucas knew it's time for him to leave. Protecting Vivi and helping her to meet with the rebellion was only the minor step. Lucas knew that stopping the rebels won't stop Crocodile. It would only bring temporary peace.

Vivi got out of the tent. She was happy that her diplomacy had worked and brought the results she wanted. Now, by watching the Baroque work's movement, she believed that the rebels would be able to know, who really made their county poor and their people hungry.

"Zorro? Are you going somewhere " She wanted to share the good news with him, and maybe have a good chat? But she saw him stepping and walking away from this camp.

"I am leaving" Lucas replied with a deep voice. He didn't even turn his head.

"Can't you stay... At least for dinner. It's because of you the rebellion had stopped " Vivi said. She wanted to use any excuse to let him stay. And maybe having a good talk, where he has to admit and take his responsibility of touching her in sensitive places.

"Silly girl, do you think this is over "Lucas chuckled, she is too naive.

"What do you mean" Vivi's heart made a loud beat. What does he mean by this is not over yet? She didn't even pay any attention when he called her a silly girl.

"Do you think stopping the rebellion would stop Crocodile"

"You mean " Vivi after thinking about what he said, she started to understand. She was in Baroque works as an agent and collected enough information to know their style. Baroque works are like the dog that would bite harder each time they are in the corner. Her face draws fear and confusion.

Zorro seeing this, said with a calm voice "You can relax. I will take care of the rest"

Vivi calmed a bit and looked to his back "wait, I'll come with you"

"Maybe one day. Until then, " Zorro then vanished in the thin air as he used stealth footwork.

( C.u.m with you )

"Zorro"

Lucas now was heading toward the Hotel where Mikita is staying, to give her an important task.

****

Alabasta. The capital.

The sky started to turn red as the sun was vanishing to the west.

Inside one of the hotel rooms.

Mikita was lying on the bed while holding a sail in her right hand. Her long pale legs were touching the ground, her back was on the white sheets of the bed. She was playing with her orange-yellow heart using her finger. She looked to be bored.

Mikita is waiting for Zorro, who said he will give her an important task. Deep inside her, she was excited to do the task given her. Around him, Mikita would always feel like a little girl who would want to be praised by her Daddy and get patted by him, and rewarded in the bed. Maybe, this is why she agreed to leave the baroque works and convert against them. Never in her life, she thought she would be like this.

*Knock* *Knock*

Mikita heard the knock on her door, her facial expression suddenly changed and she went to open the door. Seeing who came, she made a large smile. " Zorro, I was waiting for you". She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss which she was like a drug. After kissing.

"Mm... Now remind, me, when that meeting "

"It's tomorrow, in the morning," Mikita replied. She was invited to this meeting as well.

Lucas put his hand in his pocket and took a snail off. This snail was bought using 50 million berries from the black market. He got it when he was a marine, as he attacked a secret auction, and he stole this snail secretly. Not only so, but also, Lucas has taken the necessary tools from the marine to stream it.

Lucas would use the communication line of the Navy and stream the meeting of Crocodile. And if the HQ wants to preserve the face of the world government and keep this secret, then Lucas has already prepared a counter-attack.

"Recording DenDenMushi?" Mikita said looking to the snail with a weird look. Those things, not only were expensive but hard to get, let alone the price of the other required items for streaming and communicating.

"Okay, be sure to hide this snail well, and catch Crocodile's face...."

Mikita opened her eyes widely after hearing his plan. With this, Crocodile's would certainly be exposed, and he would lose his seat as Warlord. "Kyahaha. Zorro, you are a naughty man" Mikita laughed.

"Now let me explain to you...."

Lucas then explained what she has to do. And the kind of questions she has to ask Crocodile during the meeting. Those questions would make him confess all of his deeds.

*****

Tomorrow. In the morning.

Rain dinner.

Under the ground and inside a room that was surrounded by the sea. The baroque works' members had gathered up for the meeting.

They gathered up in a very vast room. All of the agents sat around a large table. And all of them were looking at one empty seat, which is supposed to be Crocodile's seat.

The agents that attended the meeting were. Mister 1 along with his partner, Miss Doublefinger, Mister 2 who didn't have a partner, Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine.

Mister 2 was a very tall man, standing with a height of 238 centimetres. he had short black hair and wearing a feminine makeup on his face with red lipstick.

Mister 1 is a tanned tall man with heights or 212 centimetres and a very muscular body. He had big lips and shaved head. He was wearing an opened black vest and vast black pants. Mister 1 was crossing his arms while closing his eyes.

As for his partner, who sat next to him, Miss Double finger. She was a tall and slim woman with a height of 187 centimetres.

She had curly dark-blue hair, thick lips that can seduce anyone to kiss, dark green eyes, pale skin, and a curvaceous figure. She wore a short jacket with beige colored fur brims, a bikini top describing an unusual spiderweb-like pattern across her abdominal area, low-riding pants which can show the upper part of her h.i.p.s, and platform sandals.

*Footsteps*

Everyone turned their head to see who entered through the door. Crocodile was walking with his partner Miss All Sunday, and they went to take their seating.

"This meeting shall start now," Crocodile said with a chilling voice.

Mikita was hiding the snail inside her jacket's pocket. She slowly patted him, and two little eyes that could barely be noticed had got out of her jacket, looking directly at Crocodile.

....

Not so far from Rain dinners. Lucas was hiding inside a near building.

Lucas was seating next to a table, facing 5 snails. Each snail on the table had its own important role. Lucas wasn't wearing a mask or anything. He was here with his usual look.

Lucas called the marine's main HQ using one of the snails:" This is Commodore Lucas, I request communication with a higher up starting from admiral for an important matter, using Code number 2839xxx"

2839xxx was a code used to report an emergency to an admiral or higher. Using this code, Lucas would put his job on the line, if he wasted the time of a higher, then he would be punished severely.

After 13 minutes.

Lucas call was picked up, as there was one person available in the headquarter

"This is the fleet admiral. Report your emergency "

Lucas lifted his eyebrows, he didn't expect that his call would be picked up by the man, who he is planning to replace by the end, Sengoku.

"Sir. This commodore Lucas. I request to use the Navy line to stream a sound, and video if possible"
