Vir knew that he had no choice even if he didn’t want to rush today. In case Crocodile lost his mind and suddenly went somewhere else, Vir would have a hard time finding him.
Having rented an F-Crocodile once before, Vir was more familiar with the route this time.
Sitting on the back of the F-Crocodile, Vir was somewhat excited. He looked forward to seeing to what extent a natural Logia user in the pirate world could achieve with their abilities.
Although Crocodile’s mastery of the Sand-Sand Fruit was somewhat rubbish, at least it was a natural Logia.
Finally, when the sky had completely darkened, around eight o’clock at night, Vir arrived at Rainbase.
Vir felt that this place was indeed the capital of Alabasta, because Rainbase at night was bustling with life.
The night in Rainbase wasn’t cold and bleak; it was brightly lit. Looking at the scenery before him, Vir was no longer anxious to find Crocodile but instead wandered leisurely around Rainbase.
Totoshiki wasn’t as happy, though, because it was now very tired.
This was due to Totoshiki’s strange daily habits. This fellow slept around seven or eight at night and woke up around three or four in the morning. Every time it woke up, it also woke Vir up.
Because of this, Vir had often beaten Totoshiki. When Vir was half asleep, facing Totoshiki’s alertness, the outcome was uncertain, and Vir didn’t dare use his full strength for fear of hurting Totoshiki.
So, looking at Totoshiki’s appearance, Vir couldn’t help but smile mischievously.
Seeing Vir mocking it, Totoshiki became very angry and gestured as if asking for money.
Vir didn’t know what this fellow was up to but still checked his backpack and took out several hundred thousand berries for Totoshiki, because his backpack was too small, and that’s all Vir had.
And what left Vir speechless happened: Totoshiki actually flipped him off, then went to the hotel behind it to book a room, apparently intending to go to sleep.
Seeing how tired Totoshiki was, Vir could only let it be, just calling out that he would come find it tomorrow morning, and if it didn’t come, he’d contact it via Den Den Mushi. Vir then continued to wander Rainbase.
Vir had forgotten one thing, though: Totoshiki couldn’t use a Den Den Mushi because it couldn’t talk.
Spending too much time with it, Vir had begun to mistake Totoshiki for a person and made such a low-level error.
After walking around a few times, Vir arrived in front of a casino. Needless to say, this was probably the most luxurious casino in Alabasta, Rain Banquet.
Entering Rain Banquet, a hostess immediately came over to greet Vir.
Vir looked at the scale of the casino before him; it was indeed impressive. He actually intended to play a few rounds inside, not bothering with Crocodile for now. He was already in Rainbase, and Crocodile couldn’t stir up much trouble here.
However, Vir didn’t realize that he didn’t have any money now. Most of the money he brought on the ship was used to rent the F-Crocodile, and the rest was given to Totoshiki.
So when he went to exchange for chips, an awkward situation arose: he had no money in his pockets.
Vir, who originally wanted to gamble a little, lost interest and decided not to wander around anymore.
Vir directly went to the largest gambling table in the center of the venue, jumped on it, and shouted angrily,
“Everyone irrelevant, get out of here! Today, I’m only looking for Crocodile. You have thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, if there’s still anyone here, I, Vir, will kill them.”
When Vir had just shouted, most people were just watching for excitement, wanting to see what fate awaited the person causing trouble at Rain Banquet. After all, it had been a long time since anyone dared to cause trouble at Rain Banquet.
But upon learning that the person before them was the pirate worth 170 million berries, the crowd started fleeing from the casino.
As for the Baroque Works people, they had all disappeared. It seemed they had received news from the palace and knew the situation there, so no one came up to die, after all, everyone was afraid of death, even the smallest ones who cherished their own lives.
Vir looked at the disappeared crowd and then looked at the exquisite black pocket watch in his hand. Twenty-three seconds. Sure enough, in the face of death, potential was limitless.
Seeing that the trouble had subsided, if Crocodile wasn’t too cowardly, he should come out soon.
But Vir waited for half a day and didn’t see Crocodile’s figure.
Could this fellow really be afraid? No, this fellow had once challenged Whitebeard. Although Vir despised such brainless behavior, it could be seen that Crocodile was definitely not cowardly.
In fact, Vir guessed right. At this moment, Crocodile wasn’t absent because he feared Vir but because he was waiting for Vir to come find him.
Through the events of the day, Crocodile knew that Vir was very strong, so he didn’t plan to fight Vir inside Rain Banquet.
First, this wasn’t his home turf. Second, Rain Banquet was his business, and he would be upset if it was damaged.
So the two stood there, waiting for each other to come looking for them.
After waiting impatiently for half an hour in the casino, Vir finally became impatient. Vir hated waiting for people the most.
He was never late and hated people who were late even more. So Vir decided to take the initiative.
Vir didn’t wander around Rain Banquet but directly used Soru to rush inside.
But just as he used Soru to arrive in the corridor, he saw Crocodile turning around and running towards the inside.
For the first time, Vir felt ashamed of his observation of Haki, how could he have missed this person’s approach, but it wasn’t all Vir’s fault, this could also be considered a defect after Vir developed an ability.
Upon learning about his talent for Observation Haki, Vir decided to give up some things.
What Vir gave up was the range of his Observation Haki, concentrating the Observation Haki within ten meters of him to form a circle.
Vir also found that his Thunder could be attached to Observation Haki, although not too much, but Vir unexpectedly developed the ability to create an electromagnetic barrier.
Vir usually kept the electromagnetic barrier very small, tightly wrapping his whole body.
And the electromagnetic barrier didn’t have any attack power, not even defensive power, its only function was to greatly enhance the sensitivity of Observation Haki by tens of times.
Vir dared to say that within ten meters, he could sense any attack, even if it was a fruit ability that was hidden, it couldn’t get close to him within ten meters, otherwise, he would definitely be able to find it.
But this wasn’t without cost, the cost was that fucking range.
In the corridor, Vir and Crocodile stared at each other.
Crocodile was also a bit embarrassed. He had originally planned to wait for Vir to lose patience before looking for him, and then lead Vir to the desert.
But he had never expected that Vir would be so fast, and before he had a chance to Elementalize Flight, Vir had already arrived in front of him.
