One week later.

The landing city of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Rapeseed Port.

A large ship with the logo of 'Baroque Works' sailed slowly into the port. After the ship docked, two figures stepped off the ship.

It was Uchiha Madara and Susanoo.

The strange thing is that Uchiha Madara and Susanoo walked past other people on the ship in a swaggering manner.

But the other people on the boat seemed to have not seen them at all, and they were all talking and laughing and going about their own business.

This scene was naturally caused by Uchiha Madara using his Sharingan to exert child-like hypnosis on the people on the ship.

The reason why Uchiha Madara would hypnotize everyone on this ship was certainly not because he had nothing to do. He was using these people to experiment during his boring voyage. The illusion of the Sharingan would affect people in this world. It won't be effective.

After several tests, the answer is no.

The principle of genjutsu is chakra interference. Because people in this world do not have chakra, the genjutsu of the Sharingan does not work on them.

But the power of the Sharingan is not just illusion.

The three basic abilities of Sharingan are observation, copying and hypnosis.

Although illusions cannot work on people in this world, the basic abilities of the Sharingan are still there, and the ability to hypnotize does not require the other person to have chakra to be effective.

However, along the way, Uchiha Madara has used these people on the ship to conduct experiments, and the result is...

Although the basic hypnotic ability of the Sharingan will work on them, the duration of the hypnotic effect will vary depending on the strength level of these people.

Among them, people with the title of "Billion Elders" can only have hypnotic effects for one day at most, and even for some people with stronger abilities, the effects can only last for a few hours.

During this period, if the person who has been hypnotized is stimulated, the hypnosis will lose its effect.

Judging from the information given by Nicole Robin, the Billionaire is a middle-level member of Baroque Studio.

But in terms of the strength of these people in the entire Grand Line, even if it is only the first half, they are at a level slightly stronger than passers-by, and they are not even considered minors.

Although the Sharingan has lost its illusion ability, its hypnotic ability can affect them.

But if it were used on someone slightly stronger than them, it's hard to say whether it would be effective, let alone a powerful person of the level of "The King's Shichibukai".

In other words, Uchiha Madara's original plan to use the Sharingan to control the Shichibukai went bankrupt before it was implemented.

Now that the illusion plan is bankrupt, we can only rely on hard power!

Although we don’t know how strong the “Shichibukai under the King” is in this world, Uchiha Madara has released the first level of seal, and the strength he can currently display is at the level of the “Kage” of the five great ninja villages.

If Suzao-no-o uses the 'Disaster Soul Appearance', his frontal combat capability may be even stronger.

Such combat power should be enough to do some things.

However, what Uchiha Madara wants to do most at the moment is to personally measure the strength of the so-called "Ocean's Shichibukai".

With this idea in mind, Uchiha Madara and Suzanoo headed towards the "Rainland" where the headquarters of the "Baroque Working Society" is located.

The Kingdom of Alabasta covers a huge area, but almost all of its territory is desert.

From the Rapeseed Port to the Rain Land, you need to pass through the dry city of ‘Eluma’ and the pen-washing and trading center of Alabasta ‘Yuba’, and you need to drive for a whole day in the desert to get there.

Although Uchiha Madara and Susano Noo have no experience in sailing, traveling in the desert will not be a problem for them.

…

In the desert.

Uchiha Madara took off his armor and put on a short coat with the Uchiha clan logo, and he and Suzanoo walked leisurely in the desert.

It wasn't that Uchiha Madara didn't want to hurry up, but that after they entered the desert, they began to encounter frequent attacks from various strange desert creatures.

Being attacked was nothing. If it weren't for Suzano'o's extremely strong directional discernment ability, the huge desert storm that occurred every ten minutes on average would have caused them to lose their way in the desert.

This scene was very similar to what Uchiha Madara encountered when he was alone at sea, and it also greatly slowed down their speed.

For some unknown reason, when Uchiha Madara and Susanoo approached the dry city of 'Eruma', the originally arrogant storm suddenly stopped.

"Run fast, run fast, they are going to catch up!"

As soon as Madara and Uchiha entered Eruma, they met a...duck at the corner of a certain building?

Well, that's right, it was a huge duck wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle hanging around its neck, running towards them!

Riding on the back of this duck was a little girl who looked to be in her early teens. The words they heard just now were those of the girl.

Seeing this, Suzano'o stepped in front of Madara Uchiha and took a defensive posture.

"Run fast, be careful, there is someone in front of you!"

The little girl on the duck's back immediately showed a nervous look on her face after seeing Madara and Uchiha.

But the duck was running too fast, and it was too late to brake. When the duck was about to hit Uchiha Madara, the little girl on the duck's back gritted her teeth firmly, then grabbed the reins in her hands and pulled the duck's

He jerked his head to the side and forcibly reversed the direction of the duck.

The little girl's move successfully prevented the duck from hitting Susanoo who was blocking Uchiha Madara. The price was that the duck she was riding overturned, and both the duck and the duck were thrown sideways.

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed slightly, and then Susano'o, who was blocking him in front of him, dodged and caught the little girl who almost fell to the ground.

"Thank...thank you."

The little girl who was rescued thanked Susanoo, then broke out of his arms and ran towards the fallen duck.

The little girl helped the fallen duck up and asked with concern: "Run fast, are you okay?"

"Karu!~"

The duck quacked at the top of its lungs, then raised its wings to show that it was okay.

But the head dripping with blood clearly told the little girl that it was lying.

"She's here!"

At this time, another excited voice came from the corner. Uchiha Madara heard the sound and looked around, only to see a man holding a short sword staring greedily at the little girl.

And as he called, more footsteps came from the other side of the corner.

"Oops!~"

The little girl looked at the man walking towards him with a short knife, her eyes full of horror.

"Her duck is hurt, catch her quickly."

"Hey, this is a lot of money!"

A group of people walked towards the little girl full of excitement.

"Run fast, I'm so scared!"

The little girl shivered while hugging the duck.

The strange thing is, and I don't know why, both the little girl and the group of people who looked like robbers or kidnappers chose to ignore Uchiha Madara and Suzanoo.

Suzano'o looked at the obvious kidnapping in front of him and turned to look at Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara stared at the little blue-haired girl with a frightened face, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Let's do it."

When those people took out the rope and prepared to tie up the little girl and the duck, Uchiha Madara finally spoke.

The next moment, Suzano'o's figure rushed out like an arrow, and then...in less than five seconds, all the kidnappers were gone.

"Thank you... Wow!!"

The little girl who was rescued hugged Suzano's thigh tightly, and while thanking her, she cried and shouted: "I'm so scared, I thought I was going to die... Wow!!~~~"

"Karu!~Karu!~"

The duck also cried bitterly and tried to hug Sasano's thigh, but was pushed away in disgust.

On the side, Uchiha Madara, who was ignored by Gorgeous, looked on with cold eyes.

Susanoo pushed away the snotty duck, then looked at the little girl and asked: "So, since you know you are afraid, why do you come to a place like this alone?"

"that……"

When the little girl heard Suzano's words, she immediately stopped crying, and then replied in a low voice: "I heard that the great hero Crocodile will appear in the rain today. I want to go see him and ask him by the way.

He wants an autograph..."

Susanoo has a warm and masculine attribute and saves her again.

At this moment, the little girl directly regarded him as her savior and revealed her purpose without hesitation.

'Krokdal, the great hero?'

Uchiha Madara did have a strange look on his face when he heard what the little girl said.

If I remember correctly, the name 'Krokodahl' should be the boss of the 'Baroque Works' where Nicole Robin works.

He is one of the legal great pirates of the "Shichibukai", and the reason why this great pirate chose Alabasta as his base camp and secretly established a secret criminal organization like the "Baroque Works" in this country is to

Seek something from this country.

And based on what Nicole Robin knows.
