"You really don't care." Bucky looked at the other party's calm appearance and couldn't help but say.

"Does it matter? If you die here, it's not necessarily a bad thing, doesn't death mean liberation...... Actually, I have long thought about my death, hanging, shooting, assassination, and being buried in the sea......" Robin looked at the wick of the oil lamp in front of him, which could be extinguished at any time, and said slowly, "With you with Rednose, I don't think we will be too lonely when we die." ”

Her sad tone made Bucky feel a little creepy, and for a moment Bucky really sensed that Robin had a determination to die, and it wasn't a joke.

When Robin was eight years old, her hometown was hit by the Demon Slayer Order, and from the moment on, she lost everything. The good things of friends, family, and teachers are like two parallel lines to her world, and they have nothing to do with each other. Later, she was offered a bounty of 79 million for sabotaging six naval warships, and struggled to survive in the dark world of betrayal, an experience that took up twenty years of her life.

It is conceivable that her heart is not as strong as it seems on the surface, but more like a state that will collapse if she presses a straw.

Bucky was silent for a moment, then looked up slightly at Robin, who was half a head taller than him, his right hand was separated from his body, and gently placed it on Robin's head, brewing emotions, trying his best to make his voice infectious:

"Don't stop moving forward on the road of dreams, you can never predict the future, you can't know if the road ahead will have thorny jungles or butterflies surrounded by flowers, try to keep going, maybe a good group of friends will be there for you, share your joys and sorrows, listen to your past and future, at that moment you may see the real answer to the world, at least, now is not the time for you to turn in the papers!"

"Rednose ......"

The most fragile heartstring in Robin's heart was touched in an instant, her eyes suddenly soured, tears couldn't help but flow, she covered her mouth with one hand, her head drooped down, sobbing in a low voice, and crystal tears fell to the ground one after another.

In so many years of fugitive, whether it was pirates, bounty hunters, or even civilians, everyone cursed her betrayal and hated her existence.

The first time she heard such words of encouragement to live, it was like a fire suddenly rising in the cold night, warm and moving.

Bucky pulled the clown handkerchief he had with him from his inner pocket and handed it over silently.

Robin took the handkerchief, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, not to wipe the tears, but carefully folded it and put it in the close-fitting pocket, then she wiped the tears with her sleeve, and grinned an indecent and somewhat funny smile, "It's ugly to cry, a friend of mine once told me that no matter whether you are sad or happy, you should smile more so that you can be happy." Falling thunder hee hee hee hee-"

"What a strange laugh." Bucky looked at Robin helplessly, and although he knew that the laughter came from Robin's only friend, he couldn't help but complain.

"It's not strange at all, because it's fun...... I'm going to be like this, okay, Rednose-kun, let's find another outlet. ”

Robin's face slowly disappeared, and she returned to her previous calm, and if it weren't for her red eyes, she couldn't see the way she had just cried.

Bucky took out the phone bug with half of his hair and only one eye exposed: "Since you can place the Hailou Stone at the door, other places must not be so easy to break through, don't do anything laborious, I brought the phone bug, find a way to let them open it from the outside." ”

Dialing out the phone, the phone bug's eyes opened, and Kabaji's voice came from inside: "Captain Bucky! ”

"Kabaji, are you still in the village?"

"Yes, our men are waiting for your orders, whether it is food or drink, they are all purchased from the villagers at market prices according to your orders, and then carried to the ship."

"Very well, you bring people to the jungle to the west, I have made crosses along the way, you follow the markers to the ancestral ruins, I will wait for you here, my red nose will guide you...... Bastard, how can my red nose be a guide for you! ”

Hanging up the phone bug and retracting it in his pocket, Bucky helplessly held his forehead, this somewhat upset sequelae always allowed himself to say confused things.

Robin said, "It will take half a day to a day to get here from the village, and it looks like we're going to spend the night together tonight." ”

"Of course, without this guy, I'd love to." Bucky looked at the big octopus in disgust.

"Chirp Ka Chirp." The big octopus waved its tentacles wildly, venting its dissatisfaction.

The two sat on the ground, with their backs against the wall, and the big octopus also sat on the ground, each thinking about things, and the only oil lamp in the crypt flickered on and off, like a candle in the wind, but it stood firm and never extinguished.

I don't know how long it took, Robin said lightly: "Rednose-kun." ”

Bucky didn't reply, as if he was asleep.

Robin took out the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, it was tattooed with a skeleton pattern with a red nose, which looked a little funny, but in her eyes it was unexpectedly cute, and she said softly: "You are the most special of all the pirates I have ever met, I don't know if a demon child like me can have feelings, but I still want to treat you as my friend, thank you for the courage you gave me." ”

"Yes." Bucky replied softly.

Next, no one spoke, and there was silence and darkness all around, but, whoever it was, couldn't sleep peacefully tonight, the big octopus didn't recover from Gray's death, Baki was decadent because he hadn't found the treasure, and Robin was deeply touched by Bucky's words, tossing and turning.

Until the phone bug made a "pop-p" sound, the silence was broken at this moment.

Bucky picked up the phone bug again, and Kabaji's voice came from inside: "Captain Bucky, we have arrived at the ancestral ruins. ”

Bucky asked, "What time is it?" ”

The voice of the phone bug came: "It's already morning. ”

Bucky questioned Kabaji, who revealed that he did not see the switch mark from the parchment.

As expected, the sun's rays were so bright that the map markers hidden in the parchment were not visible.

Bucky looked at Robin, "Robin, do you remember where the switch was when we stepped on?" ”

Robin nodded.

After providing a way to open the phone bug, after several trials, the underground door was successfully pushed inside.

A blinding light penetrated the crypt, and it was the rising sun.

Bucky stood up and glanced back at Robin, who was still a little confused, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

For her, although there is no light here, there is no need to fear the malice of outsiders, so that her heart remains quiet and peaceful for a short time, and the dawn outside is like a dark cage that gradually forms, once she walks out of the passage, she also enters this cage formed by the hostility of the whole world.

"No, hold on...... Nico Robin, even if there are too many enemies in front of you, stick to your path! Robin's eyes became determined.

The air outside was much fresher than inside, and looking at the halo of the early sun, Robin pulled his sideburns behind his ears and stood slowly, "thick and secret...... Maybe not bad. ”

She looked at the big octopus and said, "Brother Octopus, do you want to go with me, maybe, we can take care of each other." ”

"Kachirp." The big octopus nodded its octopus head, probably because Robin knew about its past, and it had a sense of affection and dependence on Robin, and of course there was Gray in it.

Bucky asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back...... Otherwise, you will be rebuked by some people. ”

"That's ...... Kindness...... Be careful all the way. "Bucky didn't keep him, he knew he didn't have the strength to take the other side, and the reality was always crueler than ideal.

Robin took out Gray's notebook from his arms and handed it over, "I tore off the diary inside, and I think some of the remaining things will be of some use to you." ”

Bucky took the notebook and didn't open it immediately, but watched Robin leave, "Take care." ”

"You too, Rednose ......" Robin waved his hand and walked into a secluded path with the big octopus, the last goodbye coming out of his mouth so low that it was hard to hear, "Do we have a chance to meet again......"

The graceful and colorful shadow, like a delicate violet, can't help but be attracted when you get close, and the fragrance of flowers you take away when you leave is also so fascinating......

Red! Nose! Child! Monarch!

A group of pirates who knew Bucky's character were dumbfounded, what kind of charm did this woman cast on Lord Bucky, and the great Captain Bucky was actually not angry!
