07: The O'Hara Affair and Luther's Intentions
Although he succeeded in finding the Devil Fruit, Luther did not swallow it directly.
Devil fruits are very extreme.
Although many people say it nicely - in the world of pirates, there are no waste Devil Fruits, only waste people. Whether the Devil Fruit's ability is strong or not can only depend on how the ability is developed.
But this is not the case. Many Devil Fruits have big defects from their congenital nature, and Devil Fruits are indeed high and low, otherwise the Devil Fruits of the natural system would not be recognized as the strongest.
Therefore, although Luther obtained a Devil Fruit, Luther did not take it rashly before he had clearly collected all the information about the Devil Fruit, which was irresponsible for himself.
He quickly disembarked with Robin with all the treasures he had collected from the machete pirate ship. Along the way, there were many residents of O'Hara who saw Luther and Robin holding boxes full of Bailey, and couldn't help but feel greedy.
But after they thought about the death of the machete pirates before, they were still very rational and completely eliminated the greed in their hearts.
Money is also important, but if you lose your life because of it, it will be more than worth the loss.
After what happened just now, everyone present already knew that Luther was not a soft-hearted good thing. It's not worth it at all to provoke such a monster for all this money.
So, thinking about this, not only did they not dare to continue to worry about Bailey in the hands of Luther and Robin. Instead, he secretly made up his mind that after today, whenever they returned home, they must remind their families and relatives that when they meet Luther and Robin in the future, try not to break out into conflict with them. Even if you suffer a little bit occasionally, it's better than just losing your life like the pirates on the machete pirates.
Robin and Luther returned to the cave and soon fell asleep. She is still young, and her mental age is still young. There are so many things that have happened today that the little girl is tired. As soon as he returned to the cave, Robin's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep on the wooden bed.
Luther didn't have much of a burden, and most of the reason why Robin was so tired was because of her mental exhaustion, after all, she was caught by pirates today and saw so many dead people. Robin is still young and has not yet been beaten by the pirate world, so he is naturally a little unbearable. But Luther is different, he has killed so many pirates, but he is like a nobody, he has no waves in his heart, and he is roughly sorting out the Bailey he has obtained.
Soon Luther sorted it out, and after Luther's statistics, there were millions of Baileys here. In other words, it is possible that for many years to come, Luther and Robin will not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, because with this money, they will be able to cope with many things in life.
It's just that as a traverser, Luther also knows that O'Hara is a land of right and wrong.
Although it seems to be calm on the surface now, in a few years, the Demon Slaying Order of the Navy Headquarters will come directly to O'Hara.
If he had followed the original book, Robin would not have left O'Hara until after that catastrophe, and would have been burdened with a hefty bounty that would have made it impossible for him to move in the pirate world.
In fact, Luther had already begun planning a year or two ago, and according to his plan, he would try to take Robin to sea as much as possible before the O'Hara incident broke out. That wouldn't have prevented the O'Hara incident, but at least Luther and Robin were able to save themselves.
But the question arises again, Luther and Robin are gone, what should Orbijah do?
According to history, Orbiah would be reunited with Robin during the events of O'Hara, although according to the fact that she also died in that incident, but Luther's life was saved by her, and Orbiah was nominally his adoptive mother. He could have chosen to go with Robin, but that would mean that Luther would have to abandon his adoptive mother, Orbiah......
"I can only pin my hope on this Devil Fruit....... There are still several years before the outbreak of the O'Hara Incident, if this Devil Fruit is a Nature-based Devil Fruit or a Phantom Beast Devil Fruit...... I was able to get a big boost in strength after taking it. Combined with the cultivation in the next few years, there may not be no opportunities. ”
Luther set his gaze on the Devil Fruit on one side and muttered to himself in his own heart.
Judging from the current situation, this Devil Fruit is already Luther's greatest chance.
He knew his abilities very well, and although Luther had been training hard all these years, it was a pity that his body was too small. A body that is only four years old will not achieve much no matter how much it cultivates. After all, he hadn't started to develop yet.
So Luther also roughly estimated his strength - slightly equal to the bounty of thirty or forty million pirates.
Under this premise, even if Luther worked hard to cultivate for a few more years, by the time the O'Hara incident broke out, that is, when he was eight years old, no matter how strong he was, he would not be stronger than the pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions.
But as soon as the demon slaying order is issued, not only the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, but also the admiral will come. Even pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions of dollars are like ants in front of such an enemy, and they can't even protect themselves.
That's why Luther had repeatedly emphasized that this Devil Fruit was his greatest opportunity.
If the ability of this Devil Fruit is not good, then maybe he will have to find something to prepare. Although it is indeed unkind to abandon his adoptive mother and escape with Robin, it is better to die one than three. Besides, according to history, Orbiah would have died in that disaster.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Luther got Robin out of the wooden bed early in the morning.
"Luther, morning!" The little girl stretched out very comfortably, and when she woke up, she could clearly see that Robin's mood had stabilized a lot. Although Robin was not injured yesterday, she saw a lot of bloody pictures when she left the pirate ship, and her face was actually very ugly.
"Robin, take me to Dr. Kloba, I need his help with something." Luther rubbed Robin's head and said to Robin.
"Dr. Cloba? Would you want to go to him? It's weird. Robin's eyes widened involuntarily, Dr. Kloba was the old director of the O'Hara Library and an authority on archaeology. He has a good relationship with Robin and can be regarded as Robin's mentor. But Luther had always been very resistant to archaeology. Robin didn't expect Luther to go to Dr. Klopa one day.
