Chapter Seventy-Six: James Harden
At dawn the next day, Robin muttered, opened his eyes, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling with a little dazedness. Remember, waking up in a nightmare every night, how long has it been since I slept so comfortably? Five years? Or ten years?
"Am I alive?"
Touching the beating heart part of his chest, Robin propped up half of his body, and the last scene in his memory was a long sword piercing here. The sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the ship made her wake up in an instant, and she lifted the quilt on her body, put on her shoes, and hurriedly ran downstairs from the attic of the captain's room to the deck.
Duke is sitting cross-legged on the deck, spreading out his sights and smells to scan the underwater world, as a way to exercise his domineering. Hearing the sound of crackling footsteps in his ears, he couldn't help but raise his head, just in time to see the barefoot, panting Robin stopped in front of him.
Before Duke could say hello, Robin preemptively asked, "What happened last night?" I remember being stabbed through the heart by that knife at the time, why wasn't I dead yet? ”
Duke stood up, patted his pants, pointed to Hua Zhou, who was leaning aside, and said, "It's Hua Zhou's ability, I gave it a devil fruit." Very practical ability, isn't it? ”
Seeing Robin's puzzled look, Duke pulled out the flower island and stabbed it towards the deck, and the blade of the sword went straight through the wooden floor. Robin was keenly aware of the subtle halo where the blade pierced through the deck.
"Superman - Menmen Fruit! Any object that Hanazhou touches will turn into a door and can be opened, the ability to go anywhere without hindrance. The same is true of the sword last night, it looks like the heart was pierced, but in fact, it just used Hua Zhou's ability to open a door on you. A well-intentioned little joke, you shouldn't mind, it's just that I didn't expect you to faint directly without being frightened. Duke said unapologetic, as if it wasn't him who was wrong, but Robin. I don't blame me for this, it's because you're too timid.
This is an extremely bad bastard! Hearing this, Robin commented in his heart. At that time, her mood changed drastically, her mood was very unstable, and she was at her most mentally vulnerable, but she was stunned by Duke's fake magic tricks.
This is also black history! Duke was serious on the surface, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes, but in fact, he had already blossomed. The cautious man did this on purpose, in retaliation for Robin's intent to take advantage of his actions. I have to say that it is not for nothing that Duke has been single, at that time Robin was in the weakest psychological gap, if he turned into a warm man a little and whispered to appease the other party, or the overlord made a bow, maybe it would have contributed to a good thing.
"Hehe, that's an interesting ability." Robin Pi didn't smile and said coldly. She now just wants to get the truth out of Duke's mouth and then strangle him.
"You think so too, but Huazhou's ability is more than that." After Duke finished speaking, he picked up Huazhou and walked into the captain's room.
Robin followed suit, keeping one position behind. The two of them went to the desk in the captain's room, and Duke Masaber sat down, pointing to the sofa opposite, and motioned for Robin to sit down and talk.
Duke made a pot of black tea, poured a cup for Robin first, and then filled himself up, just sipping the black tea slowly, not in a hurry to speak. Everyone is smart and knows that at this negotiation table, whoever loses patience first loses.
"What do you need me to do?" After five minutes of silence, Robin finally broke the silence. She knew that Duke had grasped her life, let alone five minutes, even if she waited another five hours, the other party could afford to wait. But she is different, the text of history is close at hand, and she can't wait for a moment.
"Why do you think I'm going to need you?" Duke asked calmly as he picked up his teacup and blew on the heat. I was also relieved in my heart, and after drinking three glasses in five minutes, he was about to vomit.
"If you didn't need to, you could have thrown me off the boat last night, and I wouldn't be alive now. Since I'm alive, it shows that I'm still useful. "Not as eager as last night, Robin, who calmed down, has become that wise sister again.
"Anyway, she's a beautiful lady, and I'm reluctant to destroy flowers." Duke said, casually putting down the black tea cup, the conversation got to the point, and there was no longer a need for black tea to create an atmosphere.
"You're really a gentleman!" Robin didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm, and replied.
I took this sentence as a compliment! It seems that last night left a very bad impression on you, what a mistake, I was just joking to relieve the awkward atmosphere at the time, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Duke stood up and walked behind his desk, pulled open the drawer, and tossed Robin a white mask.
"What does that mean?" Robin took the mask and wondered. She recognized the white mask, which Duke had worn before, and was also pretending to be a member of CP3.
"This is your mask, from today onwards, work for me!"
Robin looked at Duke in surprise, completely unaware of what was going on in the other person's head. In order to be able to stay, she prepared a lot of rhetoric, but it didn't come in handy, it was surprisingly simple.
"I've been touched by your determination to cling to your dreams, so be it!" Duke smiled with a different kind of meaning.
"You...... What does the captain need me to do? Robin is a smart person, and smart people are very realistic, she asked directly.
"Because there are only two of us on the ship for the time being, and I, as the captain and the ship's doctor, have a lot of things that I can't handle personally, so I'll work hard for you. From now on, you work as a navigator, cook, combatant, cleaner, musician, magician, captain's secretary on the ship...... Oh, and your own archaeologist! Duke folded his hands and counted them, and found that ten fingers were not enough.
"......" Robin looked confused, with so many positions, can I be busy alone? You can't bear to let a lady do chores for you, is your heart black?
"You are a person with the ability to make any part of your body bloom like a flower where you want to appear, and it is easy for one person to take care of a ship with ten experienced sailors." Duke, a large landowner, worked hard to squeeze his employees and not waste any surplus value.
"You're not afraid to exhaust me...... Isn't that why you need me? Robin's face was not very good-looking, and Duke's opinion rating dropped from minus 100 to minus 250.
"How come, you think too much, after all, you are the only archaeologist on the sea who can interpret historical texts, and you are also an eye-catching beauty, so it is too violent for you to be a coolie!"
Duke's words made Robin's face clear slightly, but the next sentence made her face completely black.
"Besides, I work part-time as a ship doctor, and I can cure all other problems except for my aunt. Because of the headache, brain fever, backache caused by overwork, I don't pay attention to these minor diseases. So with me, you don't have to worry about dying of exhaustion. Du Ketian said shamelessly.
"I'd like to think about getting on board for a while." Robin said with a dark face.
"It's late, I'm the captain of this ship, and I have the final say." Duke waved his hand and said: "Also, the two of us are criminals who have been arrested by the World Government, for the sake of safety, in addition to wearing masks when we act in the future, we can't call each other by our real names." Can you call me Paul, Chris? Paul! The code name is 'Actor'. As for you...... As my close partner, it's just Harden, James Harden! Codename 'Touch Porcelain'! ”
"No, it's too ugly." As a high-spirited and temperamental royal sister with ideals and pursuits, Robin simply rejected this malicious name. Based on Robin's years of knowledge, only a bearded earth fat round would give this kind of name, and the code name is also very LOW.
"It's called 'nightclub,' which goes well with the name Harden."
"No, it's too ugly."
"You're really picky, and as a crew member, you have to learn to obey orders. If you object, I'll call you 'dog'!" ”
"......" Robin's face was covered with black lines, and she could feel that Duke was serious.
"Since you don't object, it's such a happy decision!"
“……”
……
A few days later, Long Snake Island, a remote island in the southeastern part of the West Sea, welcomed two guests in a hurry as soon as the sun rose.
A man and a woman, the man is nearly 2 meters tall, wearing a crisp white suit, walking in front without squinting. The woman's body is slender, with a pair of high heels, only half a head shorter than the man, and the women's suit of the same style outlines a perfect good figure, attracting countless eyes along the way. Both of them wore nondescript white masks, and their maverick outfits caught the attention of the residents, who cast curious glances at them.
The two eccentrics are Duke and Robin, who have only recently formed a pair, and they are dressed in white suits that have been left over from the Kuzan ship. Kuzan is a monotonous person, and there is no second color in his closet except for a dozen white suits. In the glorious tradition of wasting shame, Duke resized his clothes and put them on, and then gave Robin two as uniforms.
I have to say that a beauty is a beauty, and after some revisions, the neutral suit just gave Robin a unique female beauty. And her height of 1.8 meters, coupled with a pair of high heels, brought a lot of pressure to Duke.
Duke's height of 1.9 meters is also the standard configuration of the prince level if he doesn't stand out from the crowd on Earth, but in the world of pirates, he can only be regarded as a second-class cripple who has just escaped.
It's a magical world, with little people under it, giants, demons, and San Juan, the freak? Evil wolves, the difference in height makes it hard to believe that they belong to the biosphere of the same planet.
The 'Giant Battleship' San Juan Wolf, with an island-sized body, is said to be of human race, and Duke has long been troubled by this, whether the wolf's mother gave birth to him by natural or caesarean section......
If someone asks, how many steps are there to put the oversized wolf in 'LV6'? Duke will definitely answer him, it's like turning an elephant in the refrigerator, the reason is the same, there are three steps in total. The first step is to open the gates of the city; The second step is to stuff the wolf inside, and the third step is to close the door. It's easy, that's what the Navy does.
Let's talk about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the evil wolf, and how to solve the problem of the evil wolf's eating, drinking, and Lazar in the city, which is a serious problem. Every day, you face the same food and feces as the mountains...... I can only say that the chefs and cleaning aunts in the city have worked hard! What makes the chef and cleaning aunt even more devastating is that the wolf is a super criminal sentenced to life imprisonment with an infinite sentence.
XXXXXXXXXXL's oversized prison clothes, the largest and most luxurious independent single room in the city, eating and drinking every day, is served by someone, where is this prison, it is clearly a vacation.
I really don't understand why the Navy would rather spend money to keep this bottomless pit than directly execute him? Is it to get more money from the world government? Then Magellan is hi, just deducting a little bit from the wolf's food Ferick every day can make his pockets rich! No wonder he has a rotten belly, full of oil and water!
