I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 690 “I don’t know why, I just don’t want you to run away alone”

Robin's cold voice echoed on both sides of the not-so-wide river with the wind.

"What did you just...say?" Sanji chewed on the lit cigarette with a look of disbelief on his face, "Stop making trouble, Sister Robin! We encountered a lot of things in the town, let's discuss it slowly when we go back. ..."

Nami bit her lip and stared at the other side of the river.

"Hey, is it okay to say this?" Bruno, wearing a mask, said slowly, "Even I think it's cruel!"

"When I entered the Grand Line and was offered a bounty all over the world, you were all just kids..." Robin said coldly, "Navigator, chef, your levels are too low. We have never been from the same world. , I will never see you again."

"Yeah," Bruno nodded, "That's true."

"B.I.B" glanced at him, do you admire him?

"...?!" Sanji frowned tightly, and Robin on the other side continued: "Navigator——"

"Call my name!!!!!"

Nami suddenly burst out into a roar, interrupting Robin's words.

"..." Robin was startled.

"B.I.B" looked at the orange-haired girl across from him, whose electric light was beating uncontrollably, and was filled with anger. "Call me Nami. Robin..." Nami kept breathing heavily and staring at her red eyes. Bruno frowned slightly under the mask. Is this girl a natural type?

"Why do you care so much?" Robin closed his eyes and sighed, "Haven't you noticed it a long time ago? I have never felt that I was one of you..."

"But...I don't know why..."

Nami's voice came from the other side, "I just don't want you to run away alone..." Robin opened his eyes in shock, and the "B.I.B" next to him suddenly smiled, "Ha, I was killed by my little sister. ! 』

"Isn't this what you said to me at the beginning? Have you forgotten it?" Nami smiled reluctantly, with tears in her eyes, staring at Robin who seemed unmoved, "Even if you don't care about us, then Qiao What about Ba? You don’t care about it anymore?”

"It's just a pet..." Robin lowered his eyes.

"That's enough!" Sanji took a deep breath, flicked the cigarette **** and fell into the flowing river, "Chopper will be heartbroken if he hears this!"

Beside him, lightning flashed and exploded. Nami could no longer restrain herself and wanted to elementally cross the river and rush towards Robin - but at the same time, her elementalized body was hit hard by a "bang". Pressed on the spot, Sanji suddenly turned his head and saw in surprise that long slender arms had grown out of Nami's body, and each arm was wrapped with a layer of black, twisting Nami's body, which had turned into lightning, into an awkward position. The posture pressed on the ground by the river.

"Armed color?!" Sanji's eyes narrowed.

Nami lay on her side on the ground and struggled hard, but she couldn't move.

She wanted to release a stronger voltage to break up the arms created by Sister Robin's ability, but the one who was electrocuted to the point of numbness turned out to be - herself!

"I said, our levels are different."

Robin raised his hand and used Nami's clone arms that he had made freely on Nami's body, and pressed Nami's struggling Nami even harder. At the same time, in front of Sanji who wanted to jump over, he also used flower petals to shape another flower, Nami. Sanji's black feet hovered in front of the dumb "Hanami" face, but he didn't kick it down after all. At this time, he looked at the other side of the river. Robin and the masked man in robes could vaguely feel The black ghosts have disappeared!

Looking at the other "Nami" who was blocking the road in front of him with a dull expression, Sanji sat slumped on the ground, "Nami--" He turned his head, closed his eyes and frowned, sighing silently.

Nami, who was still suppressed by several dark arms and unable to move, had tears on her cheeks.

~~~~~~~~~~

"He is truly worthy of the former King Shichibukai's Kujo Seuren, who has a bounty of 970 million beli... Not everyone can do it to subdue a natural type so easily."

Leading Robin to a table in the shadow of a street corner, Bruno took off his mask and let out a sigh of relief.

Robin pulled out the chair and sat down expressionlessly.

In the shadows, Rob Lucci was already sitting and waiting. There was a white dove in a tie on his shoulder, and he was also looking at Robin curiously.

Lucci raised his eyes and looked at the black ghost standing behind Robin.

『What are you looking at? "B.I.B"'s narrow eyes shimmered, "Are you remembering... the last time you were beaten to death by me?" 』

Lu Qi smiled slightly, his face almost showing the characteristics of a beast, his eyes glowed with blood red light, and a beast-like growl came from deep in his throat, "Do you think I am still as weak as I was more than ten years ago?" ”

"B.I.B" looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "Yes." 』

Bruno, who was sitting next to him, immediately felt the almost uncontrollable murderous aura in Lu Qi. He quickly comforted him: "Lu Qi, don't be impulsive!"

What a pity! Fortunately, this Nicole Robin surrendered obediently! Don't cause too much trouble, your mission comes first!

Lu Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his boiling emotions, and looked at Nico Robin who was a little distracted, "Then, let's do what we agreed... you have to cooperate with us to create the 'Straw Hat Sea'" The gang will pretend to assassinate the mayor to facilitate our plan. After that, you must wear the sea-floor stone handcuffs and come with us to the Judiciary Island. After the trial, we will decide whether you will be thrown into the sea. The large prison 'Propulsion City'... Otherwise, you should know that the commander of our operation has specifically applied for permission to launch the 'Demon Slaying Order'."

Demon-slaying order? Isn't it that thing that after doubling it, it can't do anything to the Nine Snakes Island? "B.I.B" touched his chin.

Why is Qing Pheasant so idle?

He was a participant that time, so he should know that this thing can no longer scare Robin - Oh, he quickly flipped through the comics in his memory and discovered that the original demon-slaying order on Judiciary Island included the use of the Straw Hat Pirates The plan to threaten Robin to force her to surrender was all the idea of ​​CP9's clever Spandam. It was this kid who had an idea and took the initiative to plead with Aokiji, who originally only provided information on the whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates, and got General Aokiji. The right to activate the demon-slaying order in his hand.

In other words, what Aokiji thinks does not actually affect the clever Spandam's plan of "ingeniously arranging the devil's son"... Aokiji, who listened to Spandam's plea at the time, probably wouldn't expect it either. This thing can really get results.

The gap between the powerful and ordinary people in the One Piece world is really too big, which also leads to a huge difference in their understanding of things.

In the eyes of most ordinary people like Spandam, the Demon-Slaying Order is like a catastrophe. In the eyes of Aokiji, Nine Snake Island, Robin, and myself, it is just a firework, not only cannons flying into the sky It's very noisy and a waste of money.

"Your request..."

Robin spoke. Bruno and Lu Qi listened carefully, but the woman said lightly: "I don't want to agree to anything."

What?

Lucci and Bruno thought they heard wrongly.

"If you must help me to carry out the secret mission of CP9, you are too incompetent. I have no interest in who you assassinate next or who you blame."

Robin closed his eyes expressionlessly, not interested in continuing to chat with these CP9s. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'm tired. Please arrange a place for me to rest..."

Are there any criminals who are so crazy about surrendering themselves?

It seems there is!

Lucci and Bruno sighed secretly. If this devil's son is just the poor little girl who hasn't woken up from O'Hara's nightmare, of course they can manipulate her at will, threaten her to cooperate, no matter what, and compared with the mission of ancient weapons, this way The devil's son can be given up optionally; but the woman in front of him... is no longer the original little girl with a bounty of 79 million, but a direct change, she is the 977 who was once the King's Shichibukai The big pirate worth millions of dollars!

It was an unexpected blessing that she was willing to give up resistance, sparing them a **** battle...

After weighing the task of obtaining the design drawings of ancient weapons and the task of capturing Nicole Robin to Judiciary Island, it is obvious that neither one can be given up...

Lu Qi and the others had no choice but to change their action plan and arrange for Nicole Robin to wait for them at the sea train terminal.

However, since she refuses to participate in the operation, there is no need to allow her to continue to move freely. Lu Qi took out a black box and opened it in front of Robin. Inside was a pair of seastone handcuffs.

……

"If it makes them feel more secure, it doesn't matter if they wear it. 』

"B.I.B" floated next to Robin, who was wearing seastone handcuffs and followed several government officials into the gorgeously decorated VIP waiting room.

It glanced at the seastone handcuffs on Robin's hands.

Robin was noncommittal. As long as she wears the helmet of "B.I.B", she can obtain its powerful life-returning skills, and then use her hair to make a key to open the sea-stone handcuffs on her hand...

Lynch was transferred to the big prison...

Robin sat in the empty VIP waiting room, his mind filled with the words Aoki mentioned at the sea train station.

Five years ago?

With Lynch's life-returning ability, even if his physical strength is blocked by sea-floor stone handcuffs, he can still open the lock with his hair... Why has he been imprisoned for five years until now?

Robin thought of many possibilities, but the biggest possibilities were just two.

Lynch's life-returning ability, which is so powerful that he can control his hair, was exposed when he was fighting ghost spiders in the navy. In other words...

Either the people in the big prison shaved Lynch's head - no, Lynch can use energy to forcefully restore the shaved hair; therefore, the people in the big prison sealed Lynch's head ? Wearing a helmet and locking it?

Either it is that the keyhole of the sea-floor stone handcuffs holding Lin Qi is completely blocked...

If it's the former, that's fine... But if it's the latter, even if he and "B.I.B" go to the prison, how will he rescue Lynch?

Should his hands be chopped off? This is absolutely impossible...

While Robin was frowning in the empty VIP waiting room, "B.I.B" was sitting on the table next to him, with his legs crossed and his arms folded, and he was also thinking about another very interesting question - in the comics , why in the Judiciary Island Chapter, Robin's identity has been completely exposed to the World Government and the Navy, but in the subsequent stories, the Navy and the World Government seem to have completely abandoned her as a "son of the devil" who can interpret ancient texts. Forgot something?

This seems to be the time to examine what crucial things happened in the Judiciary Island chapter...

The narrow eyes glowed with a glimmer, and countless comic scenes in his memory flashed quickly in the glimmer. Lynch, or "B.I.B", was the only change he could find that would make the world government almost give up on entangled with the "Devil's Son" in the follow-up. In the entire Justice Island chapter, there is only one...

That is the shocking appearance of the naval hero Garp!

——Of course not.

It was Franky who burned the design drawings of the ancient weapon Pluto in front of everyone... "B.I.B" fixed that frame of view in his eyes.

The big pervert Franky breathed flames and burned the only old design drawing of an ancient weapon that had been passed down from generation to generation in front of the CP9 agents and their leader Spandam. net.

『B.I.B』suddenly asked: 『That piece of historical text stone tablet about the ‘Great Kingdom’ has been taken away by the World Government, right? 』

Robin was startled, and she heard "B.I.B" after he said it again. She glanced around and saw that the entire VIP waiting room was empty, with government officials guarding the door closely.

"Well..." She replied in a low voice, knowing that "B.I.B" could hear it. "According to the information we have received before, only a few pieces of the historical text record real historical information. The piece that the doctors and the others found is probably the only piece of the most valuable 'historical' text. After they used the Demon-Slaying Order to destroy the Austrian text, He must have taken that stone away before Hara..."

"If I were the world government, there would be a special stone in the world, a stone that could overturn my legitimacy as a ruler, and a special writing that could only be written on that stone. 』

The black armor said quietly, "What do you think is the possibility that I will not be able to master the interpretation method of this kind of text?" Or do I just ignore the stones scattered all over the world? 』

"..." Robin was stunned, "The possibility is very small. - However, didn't the Sandians of the Golden Land fight desperately to protect that piece of historical text and almost became extinct? Obviously the world The government actually tried to collect those stones."

"What then? The World Government failed to obtain the historical text hidden in Golden Township, and then Golden Township went up to heaven, and no one could find it for four hundred years. 』

The words "B.I.B" made Robin's pupils shrink. What shocked her even more was the words behind it: "Luffy and the others were chatting with Noland, and you were using him to search for gold on the seabed." When... I also followed him around in the sea. Do you know what I saw? ——The seabed is dotted with some strange dark 'passages'. 』

"Yes..." Robin frowned and said, "That's right." She remembered that when she controlled the sea beasts he had made to patrol the seabed, she seemed to have seen what "B.I.B" said. "passage mouth". But she didn't care.

『The branch is located at the "passage mouth" on the seabed around Gaya Island - from this, what can you think of? 』

"The currents are soaring into the sky..." Robin said to himself.

"I went under those passages and looked around - what's surprising is that the walls of these 'volcano'-like holes on the seabed are shaped by an unknown... The 'water storage chambers' formed by metal materials store hot water! These metals are some kind of shape memory alloy and contain a self-heating system. Whenever the hot seawater inside expands the volume of the water storage tank, it becomes larger and can no longer accommodate the huge amount of expanding hot water. 'Boom' sound——』

Robin almost held his breath and said in disbelief: "What do you mean--the World Government secretly planned Gaya Island to be washed up on the sky island? They have no way to storm the Golden Country and seize the history they protect. Text, so you planned such a 'sky current' and simply removed them from the map?"

『What does the history of Golden Township say? Ancient weapon Poseidon. "B.I.B" said casually, "Where's the one from Alabasta?" Ancient weapon Pluto. The former was attacked by the World Government, and the latter was guarded by the descendants of the Twenty Kings who had the opportunity to become Celestial Dragons. There are only three ancient weapons in total, and the World Government is still haunting two of them. Isn't it strange? 』

Robin frowned, shook his head and said: "If what happened on Gaya Island was the work of the World Government... But why are there so many 'sky currents' mechanisms on the bottom of the sea? We only need to quietly create them right under Gaya Island Just one will do."

『Perhaps they are just users of these "Sky Current" mechanisms. Trying to attack by force failed, so I was forced to choose this strategy of 'get it or destroy it'. 』

"B.I.B" said slowly, "Let's sort it out from the beginning... First of all, it's the 'particles' with special ingredients mentioned in the research of Dr. Vegapunk and the historical text on loan sharks. . 』

"Water cycle..." Robin remembered the word Lynch had mentioned. "Because of the water cycle in nature, this special particle is ubiquitous in all forms of liquids containing water in the world. What you mean is that the beginning of all this was accelerated by the 'sky current' in the sea area of ​​​​Gaya Island. This 'water cycle' process? ”

"Just look at who's on top of these soaring ocean currents. "B.I.B" raised his hand and pointed at the top of his head, his narrow eyes shimmering, "Sky Island." Remember those murals on the moon? 』

"..."

Robin opened his mouth, closed his eyes, frowned slightly, combed his mind, and said slowly: "In the era of prehistoric civilization, great floods submerged the world, and prehistoric humans fled to the moon to settle. After a long time, the lunar people returned Here... their civilization and technology are most likely far superior to our world at that time, or our world has long been a vast ocean, and there is no large-scale life civilization. By the way... is the 'AllBlue' that the chefs spread word of mouth? Does it refer to the prehistoric era, when the entire world was submerged by the ocean?"

She murmured, "In short, the people on the moon who first returned to their home world created 'sky currents' and even sky islands, in order to spread those 'particles' all over the world. ? What’s the purpose of this? ”

"Remember Weather Island Visalia?" "B.I.B" said, "And Enel's Ark, which is suspected to have inherited the ancient weapon Pluto -"

Robin opened his eyes wide, "The technology of energy conversion... The moon people promote this special particle to spread throughout the water circulation. The next step is to promote this technology that uses special particles to perform various energy conversions?"

"B.I.B" said: "Spraying water and spitting fire, controlling magnetism, mastering wind, rain, thunder and lightning, can't we avoid the next big flood?" You should have released a large number of eyes and ears in this capital of seven waters to collect information. You must have heard of the ‘Water Gods’, right? 』

Robin nodded slightly, "There is a tsunami here every year - you mean?!" She was surprised.

"This year's water gods... may be a little particularly powerful. "B.I.B" looked at the violent storm outside the VIP waiting room window, "Don't you think there will be another big flood?" I feel that in such a world dominated by islands, the difficulty of forming a world-destroying flood may be much easier than the first time... By then, there will probably be only one place where people can stand...』

"Red Earth Continent." Robin muttered to himself.

『Back to the topic just now. "B.I.B" snapped his fingers that only Robin could hear here, "The people on the moon changed the world in order to prevent the next big flood crisis. We should really respect such crisis-conscious prehistoric humans, but in this case , there is reason to believe that during the first great flood crisis, prehistoric humans may not have had only one plan to "escape the earth in a spaceship"... Is it possible that they had other plans to preserve the fire of civilization? 』

"Don't tell me that you mean the fish-men..." Robin took a breath and couldn't help but think of the historical text he saw under the golden clock on Sky Island. "The mermaid princess 'Poseidon' who can command super-large sea kings and even change ocean currents..."

"Whether the fish-man, Poseidon, was a biological experiment conducted by prehistoric humans to preserve the fire of civilization, or whether Poseidon himself was the cause of the great flood disaster, it is impossible to investigate. 』

"B.I.B" crossed his legs and raised his head and said slowly, "But there is no doubt that Poseidon with such power must be inseparable from the great flood." And if it is said that soon, the world will usher in the second great flood that will destroy the world...』

Boom!

As if to match the atmosphere it was talking to, the storm was roaring outside the window, and the water gods of the Seven Waters Capital this year were coming.

……

Following the government staff, Robin walked into the sea train heading to Judiciary Island.

She looked out the car window and saw the violent storm as if the end of the world was coming. The coastline of the Seven Waters City was completely empty. It was as if the hand of God slightly tilted the water basin of the Seven Waters Capital. A huge amount of seawater was withdrawn at this moment and accumulated on the sea surface in front of the Water Capital, forming an unprecedented super-large "water god". It's a very large tsunami...

["So you want to say...?"]

【‘Does ‘historical truth’ matter to them? Of course it matters. But the dangerous piece of historical text recording the 'huge kingdom' has been taken away by them. What can you do? Besides that, your biggest threat to them is...』]

["I can interpret the historical text about the ancient weapon Pluto, and even help build another one..."]

[‘This thing is not only a super battleship, but also the last ‘Noah’s Ark’ when the world is destroyed. It is a life-saving ticket. Very valuable! How could it be possible to have them all over the street? 』】

[So, after Franky burned Pluto's only design drawing in public, the World Government slowed down its attention to the Devil's Son. 】

[Although if she is allowed to be aboard the Straw Hat Pirates, if she collects the four historical texts of the road signs, she will reach the final island and discover all the secrets of the world just like the original Roger Pirates did...]

[But after all, secrets are just secrets, just some information. How can it be compared to the ancient weapon Pluto, the genuine ‘Noah’s Ark’? 】

[What’s more, not everyone is so convinced that Straw Hat can imitate Roger and become the Pirate King...]

[Perhaps in the eyes of the World Government, the Straw Hat Kid is just one of those pirates who want to imitate Roger but ultimately achieve nothing, including Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Wang Zhi, and Silver Ax. ...So many pirate heroes have fallen into ruins, and there is no way to get their hands on the final island. Will a Straw Hat boy with a brain problem succeed? 】

[If the devil's son joins Kaido or Big Mom, it might actually make the people in the World Government more nervous. As for the Straw Hats? Hahaha...]

『Are you worried about Luffy and the others? 』

"B.I.B" folded his arms and leaned against the wall of the car behind Robin's seat.

The sea train was slowly starting, and "B.I.B" could feel that Lu Qi and others had also taken their seats in the carriage next to Robin, and politely left the entire carriage to Robin alone.

In any case, they don’t think the Devil’s Son can escape under such circumstances even though he is wearing sea-floor stone handcuffs...

Robin shook his head, "I'm wondering if what you said is too whimsical... But the historical records of the demise of civilization that I have read also tell me that before the extinction crisis comes, everyone also I just think it’s just a fantasy.”

The narrow eyes shimmered, "Disaster always comes unexpectedly..."

The already empty carriage seemed even quieter. Obviously, Robin also remembered the Crown Island ten years ago. She, Lynch and Hancock, who thought they would survive the disaster, suddenly ran into a trap laid in advance by the Admiral and the three generals...

"Tulip takes good care of me." Robin held her chin and looked out the window, "Of course I don't want anything to happen to her child."

"Where are the others?" For example - 'just a pet'? 』

"..." Robin put his elbows on the table, hid his face and sighed, "If Pikachu hates me, then hate me... It would be better to follow Luffy and the others and travel happily."

"I don't think so."

Suddenly there was a small sound. It's Sanji's. ——Robin looked out the opposite car window. In the wind and rain, Sanji was stepping on a golden "frisbee" and holding on to the outer wall of the car with one hand, clinging to the outside.

And "B.I.B" looked towards the end of the carriage, so that weird aura was Iron Man Franky?

Click, Sanji tried several times, pried open the car window, and got in with the howling wind and rain, and his suit was already wet.

“Didn’t I say that?”

Robin held his forehead and sighed, expressionless, "Don't come to me again, we have never been partners..."

"Hei Zai..."

Sanji turned his hand and took out the gold lighter, shook out a half-wet cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and blew out the smoke ring, "You should have noticed it earlier than us. Luo Sister Bin looks like this...as if she has been hoping that someone will punish her."

"That's right!"

With a crash, the carriage door was opened, and Lu Qi, who was wearing a crisp black suit, stood with a white dove on his shoulder, looking at Sanji coldly, showing a **** and cruel smile, "Your sanction... is me! ! ”
