The sun was wrinkling over the window and it was a nice day because no one bugged him that day. He was done today, after manage the Rain Dinners and, of course, his legal organization, Baroque Works.

Indeed, he was thinking of something.

When he was lightening his cigarette, the door to his room opened. Someone showed in his room. Someone whose penetrate his mind after all this time. All of her attitude, her mysterious smile, her past, her intention to works with Baroque Works … his partner.

Crocodile thought of all possible-impossible things if he never took Nico Robin in his life.

"Do you call me, Sir?"

Crocodile looked at her intensely. Nico Robin. His partner in this legal organization to takes Alabasta Kingdom and Pluton. She is his treasure.

"Yeah," he simply replied and looked at her eyes, "Done with all the works, Nico Robin?"

She nodded and smiled politely, "Of course."

Crocodile let his cigarette smoke filled the room.

"Have something to say?"

Robin glanced at him and gave a mysterious smile. "No. I've done all my works for today. Nothing else."

The sand man smirked. "I trust you."

Robin, with all her manner towards him, just nodded and smiled again. She will suffer for this time, like always.
