Reiju stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel and exhaled a puff of smoke in annoyance.
Today is her fourth day in Alabasta.
Crocodile still showed no intention of seeing her.
She was very puzzled as he brought her here from afar but then avoided her.
But the good thing was that, apart from not meeting him in person, she was extremely satisfied with everything else.
She really liked the city of Eden.
It is exquisite and simple yet reveals a touch of luxury.
According to the staff who accompanied her on the tour, everything here was designed by Crocodile himself.
Even part of the construction of this city was completed by him using his devil fruit ability.
Compared to the cold, mechanical feeling of Germa, this place is full of the atmosphere of human life.
Every resident here has a satisfied smile on his face, and seems to be full of hope for the future life.
It can transform a country that was once extremely poor into one that is prosperous and full of vitality.
Reiju couldn't help but become curious about what kind of person Crocodile was.
After all, how could such a sinister, cunning and cruel guy care so much about people's livelihood?
"Ding Dong!" The hotel doorbell rang.
Reiju opened the door, and outside appeared the beautiful woman who had been accompanying her for the past few days.
"Reiju-sama, the boss returned to Eden last night."
"He's waiting for you in the office now." The woman said with a formal smile.
I glanced at the clock in the room and it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning.
Shouldn't a reception for a princess like me be held in a more formal setting? Why choose the office?
Besides, this time is totally inconsistent with aristocratic etiquette.
Reiju felt a little puzzled.
"Please wait a moment. I'll come out as soon as I change my clothes."
Reiju opened her closet, wanting to pick out something that looked more formal.
For some reason, now that she could finally meet the legendary man, she felt an unprecedented sense of nervousness in her heart.
"Haha, what's there to be afraid of? He's not a man-eating monster." Reiju shook her head in self-mockery.
After choosing for a long time, I finally decided on a white tight skirt.
This dress can perfectly show off her curvy and sexy figure, and it is also her favorite.
Wearing this dress, her invincible long legs are set off to look even more slender.
The number 6 tattoo on the front of the thigh is particularly eye-catching.
"Since you don't mind formalities, I'll just follow the local customs."
Reiju chuckled as she turned around in front of the dressing mirror.
Following the beautiful woman to the top floor of the Royal Casino, there were two brown wooden doors wide open at the end of the corridor.
After walking in, the inside suddenly became bright.
Behind a huge wooden desk, a young man with his hair combed meticulously was writing something with his head down.
Next to him stood a woman wearing a professional suit and black-framed glasses. She looked like a secretary.
"Knock, knock, knock, boss, Reiju-sama is coming."
Reiju naturally showed a reserved, aristocratic smile on her face.
The man raised his head and looked at Reiju with a gentle smile.
"Sorry, I've been busy with a lot of documents these past two days. Please sit down and wait for me for a while."
"Martha, make Ms. Reiju a cup of coffee first."
After saying that, he lowered his head and started working again.
Reiju sat on the soft leather sofa with mixed feelings.
Crocodile's attitude towards her seemed to be the same as that of the other employees working here, nothing special.
She is the princess of the Germa Kingdom, and is the king's guest of honor wherever she goes.
After several days of waiting and the other party's indifferent attitude, Reiju felt that she was being seriously looked down upon.
However, the other party actually apologized to him very gently.
This made her feel a little flattered.
The man who spoke was the undisputed overlord of the sea.
The Germa Kingdom, which was extremely powerful in the eyes of the world, was nothing more than an object that could be destroyed in the blink of an eye in the eyes of this person.
Reiju felt that the scene she was experiencing was particularly unreal.
Reiju, with nothing else to do, looked closely at the man who was working.
From time to time, the other party would exchange a few words with the woman who looked like a secretary.
Judging from their conversation, it didn't seem like they were pretending just for her.
And there were already three empty cigars in the ashtray on the desk.
This shows that Crocodile had already started today's work very early.
After all, it takes a lot of time to finish smoking a cigar.
Crocodile looks like he is only in his twenties.
This is seriously inconsistent with the rumored age of over 40.
Perhaps the other party has mastered an advanced biological transformation technology, which has turned him into what he is now.
Could it be that this is the technology he wants to cooperate with us on?
Reiju couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It was not until half an hour later that the female secretary finally left the office with a stack of documents.
Reiju quickly regained her composure.
"I've heard for a long time that the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family is a peerless beauty."
"After seeing it today, I can see that it really lives up to its reputation."
"Mr. Crocodile is overrated."
Reiju said this a little stiffly, but in her heart she was secretly delighted by these words.
"I wonder if Miss Reiju is getting used to living in Eden these days?"
