The password to the safe...

Of course Noir didn't have it.

But in the world of pirates, could a safe really keep things safe?

Noir put his hand into the crack of the door, applied a little force, and his whole body turned into fine sand that flowed inside.

Ha!

Who uses the front door after eating devil fruit these days?

Wait!

How was he supposed to take the money out...

...

Meanwhile, Crocodile, who was out hunting for Noir, had no idea that his house was being robbed.

Following the direction given by "Miss. Doublefinger", he quickly followed.

But after running almost halfway across Alabasta, why hadn't he even seen Noir's shadow?

Could it be that he had ascended directly to the sky?

Crocodile's patience was wearing thin. Despite the blazing sun, his aura was cold.

"Damn! Did Miss. Doublefinger lie?"

Finally, Crocodile decided to give up the chase and head back the way he came.

After a long journey, a dusty Crocodile returned to the Spider Cafe.

When he entered the shop, it was deserted.

Crocodile looked around in confusion, a sense of foreboding rising in him.

After some searching, Crocodile ended up in the secret room.

The first thing he saw was Miss. Doublefinger, Paula, lying unconscious on the floor, undressed and looking like she'd been attacked.

The feeling of foreboding grew.

A sympathetic crocodile gently slapped Paula's face.

She awoke in pain, her eyes wide with confusion as she looked at the crocodile.

"Who are you?" Paula asked in confusion, then suddenly covered her chest in terror and screamed.

"Where are my clothes?!"

Crocodile jumped at her high-pitched scream, then grabbed her by the neck and yelled, "I'm Mr. 0! What happened here?!"

With her throat grabbed, Paula's face turned purple. She quickly said, "Boss... that newcomer... knocked me out..."

"He... Noir, turned into me!"

"What?" Crocodile stared at her in shock. Turned into others?

Wasn't that Mr. 2's Devil Fruit ability?

Wait, could it be!

Crocodile's face turned red. His casino!

Damn Noir!

Crocodile had no time to think about why someone had Mr. 2's ability. He had only one thought in his head now.

To dehydrate the impertinent Kid and throw him into the desert!

Paula, shivering in a corner, felt helpless and pitiful as Crocodile stormed out.

First stripped, then slapped...

Was this Crocodile's twisted act or Noir's depravity?

Meanwhile, in the casino, Noir, who had infiltrated Crocodile's little vault, was thoroughly mesmerized by the treasure.
