"Huh?"

Ace didn't expect that this strange ghost companion beside his brother would find him and say something like this.

He stared at the other party with a look of seeing and hearing, and said seriously: "Whether I am his opponent or not does not affect me as the captain, I must go and arrest the bastard who killed my partner and deal with this matter." ”

『. B'Silently.

I knew that it would be this outcome.

Didn't Ace know that Titch was strong?

After being a companion on the ship for so long, how could this kid not feel that this guy Tiqi was deeply hidden.

But he came anyway.

Just like Luffy knew that the Seven Martial Sea Sand Crocodile was a very powerful opponent, but he still stood up.

Ace raised his finger and pushed the brim of his hat, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know you, thank you for your concern." What if you also told Luffy, and he heard about it and wanted to intervene to help me...... Then please punch him for me! ”

『……』

Just as the Fire Fist stepped on the solo flame boat and was about to start the jet and go, '. B' gave him one last word of advice: 'The power of the dark fruit is essentially 'gravitational.'"

“……？！”

Snort, Ace slammed on the flame boat, and looked back at the black shadow floating in mid-air in surprise.

The other party's narrow eyes shimmered with a faint light, staring at him deeply, and said slowly, "Not only can it devour matter like a black hole, but it ...... It can attract the Devil Fruit factor in the body of the able. In other words, he can neutralize your ability to burn fruits.'"

Ace's expression changed several times, "I probably understand why he has to have this fruit......"

『. With that, he turned and flew back in the direction of the Merry.

Glancing back on the way, I could vaguely see a slightly hideous anger on Ace's freckled face......

But after all, it's just a devil fruit! Titch, you want it so much, you can ask for it! Why don't you say a word, even at the expense of killing your companions?!

Or are you bastards who never saw everyone as partners?

Bang!!!

The flames erupted from the back of the one-man boat, and it sped away in the blink of an eye.

『. B' was speechless, and it knew that when things got to this point, it would be almost impossible to stop Ace.

Unless it can stop Blackbeard and Darkfruit from meeting. Otherwise, as long as the goods get the Dark Fruit, no matter whether he kills his companions or not, as long as Blackbeard dares to run, Ace will definitely dare to chase after him, and he has to ask for an understanding.

It's nothing more than Blackbeard killing someone and then running away, and when Firefist finds him, he is more angry and resolute.

It's like Usopp in the Straw Hats suddenly slashed Chopper with a knife one day and ran away, and at this time he wanted to stop Luffy from finding Usopp to settle accounts?

Pull it down!

『. B's floated back to the Merry, and Luffy and the others were listening to Vivi's determination. Seeing it come back, Luffy was curious: "Black Boy, what did you say to Ace?" ”

Robin looked up and saw that . . . B's helmet condensed in the air, and said lightly, "I don't think he can beat the person he wants to capture, so I want to persuade him to turn back."

"Isn't that bad?" When Usopp heard this, he sweated, "If you can't beat it, it will be very dangerous!" ”

Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper looked at Luffy, "Are we going to help your brother?" ”

"Forget it!" Luffy smiled and said, "Ace has his own adventures. Besides, he's much better than me, and if I try to help him because I'm worried about him, I'm sure he'll beat him up. ”

"He said, if Luffy wants to come and help me, punch him for me......

『. With that, the helmet faded into the air.

"Thinking of a piece, you are really brothers......" Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper were all embarrassed. Luffy laughed and waved his big hand, "Anyway, let's go too!" ”

The Merry soon set sail for the Oasis Chieftain in search of the rebel stronghold.

『. B's long narrow eyes shimmered, looking at the sea where Ace had departed from a distance, although it reminded Ace of the ability of the Dark Fruit, but ...... The estimated effect is also limited!

After all, in the comics, Ace listened to Blackbeard's own chatter and popularized the general ability of the Dark Fruit not long after the battle began.

Ace didn't lose because of poor intelligence, he just couldn't beat him.

"You really don't want Luffy and his brother to go to Marshall. D. Titch? Robin asked next to him.

Of course, she still remembered that Luffy's brother killed his companion Blackbeard, the same person Lynch had wanted to kill on Whitebeard's boat.

『. B' crossed his arms and said calmly, "It's all here, anyway, persuade me to try."

Robin was dumbfounded.

Over there, Nami and Vivi beckoned to her. When Robin passed, he found that they were studying how to march in the desert after landing.

Robin listened for a while, then took out the green phone bug in the small bag on his waist, "Let Little Green help." ”

Nami's eyes lit up, and she hugged Robin's arm affectionately, and said happily, "Sister Robin! It's good to have you here! ”

"I don't want it!"

When I got off the boat, the climate of the endless desert in front of me was hot and dry, and the sun was exposed.

After Luffy heard the plan to hurry, he refused directly, crossed his arms, and looked reluctant, "Anyway, someone must be walking in the desert outside with a green boy under the sun, right?" In that case, let's heat it up together! ”

This speech of sharing weal and woe made the partners very moved.

Nami was teary-eyed, and in Vivi's shocked eyes, bang! Gave Luffy a punch.

Nami was speechless, "Stupid, you! The point is to conserve fresh water! A bunch of people basking in the desert will soon run out of fresh water! ”

Robin glanced at Chopper, who was already hot from his thick fur and was about to smoke, and proposed, "How about taking turns outside in the desert with Little Green while the others replenish their strength in the castle?" ”

Zoro readily agreed, "No comment, I'll be the first one!" ”

"You're not qualified to hang out alone!" Sanji and Usopp punched the green algae head at the same time, "You idiot, you want to take us back to the East China Sea, don't you?" ”

Zoro covered his head, a question mark on his head, why did he say that?

Luffy puffed up his fist and said, "Then we're ...... Let's go......"

"I'll get out there with the castle phone bug first!" Vivi smiled and said, "After all, I'm more used to the desert environment. ”

Sanji said courteously: "I will make a special drink for Weiwei in the castle to relieve the heat~~!" Of course, there are also Miss Nami and Sister Robin~~"

"Hey! What about us? "Usopp has a hand knife.

Sanji "cut" and said, "You guys just drink some tap water, right?" ”

At this time, Chopper twitched his blue nose and turned back in surprise to see Robin standing there and not following the group.

Luffy said strangely, "Robin, Black Boy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Robin looked to the other side in the distance and said lightly, "You guys go find the rebels...... Personally, I'm more interested in what Klockdahl is trying to do in this country. So I wanted to investigate it on my own. ”

Nami hurriedly brought Midori and wanted to return it to Robin, "Sister Robin, you are more dangerous alone, this is still Sister Robin, yourself-"

An arm grows out of Nami's arm and stops her. "There are more of you, and you need more food and drink in the castle." Robin looked back for a moment and nodded to a few people, "Don't worry about me." - Chopper, follow them. Aren't you the most afraid of heat? It's more comfortable to stay in Midori's castle. Follow me, you're going to get heat stroke......"

"I'm a doctor, I'm not afraid of heat stroke." Chopper wants to catch up with Robin.

Robin said, "Good." Reach out and grab Chopper's forehead and push it back to Luffy.

With a wave of his hand, Robin gradually walked away in the other direction.

Of course, in Luffy's eyes, the black boy was also the same as usual, like a black-armored knight by Robin's side, gradually drifting away.

"Robin......" Chopper muttered as he looked away at her.

A gust of wind from the desert whined, skimming the robes of the Grass Hat Pirates.

Nami Tachibana's hair fluttered, and she muttered to herself, "I always feel like Sister Robin won't come back as soon as she leaves......"

"What are you talking about, Nami? Didn't Robin say that she was going to investigate? Luffy gave her a puzzled look and strode around happily, "Let's go too!" ”

"Wait! Luffy! Sanji chased after them, but he didn't have a good airway, "I already said that I would hide in the phone bug castle and take turns to rest, right?" ”

Several people walked away noisily, and one by one they disappeared on the sand dunes and entered the little green body.

……

"What else are you looking at?"

Robin walked forward alone and pulled his hair from the wind and sand.

『. B' retracted his gaze and floated up from behind, "Look at that poor little one."

"......," Robin said, "do you think what Klockdahl is trying to do in this country have anything to do with the historical text?" ”

"Maybe!"

『. B' crossed his arms and floated together, "Just ask and see."

"Hmm."

Robin pressed his hood and braved the wind and sand along the road, leaving a trail of footprints on the sand dunes behind him that were soon buried.

On the way, the sand suddenly collapsed, and in the pouring sand sea, a huge purple lizard emerged.

It's amazing, but that's what it's all about. Robin didn't want to. B did any additional consumption, and didn't even want it to use the overlord color to stun the big purple lizard, just with a move of his own hand, he summoned an identical purple lizard, opened its mouth and wrapped a pitch-black domineering aura around its teeth, and gnawed its own body...... Domineering is present in every living being, including these animals, of course. With Robin's current experience, even if the object he spends copying is not domineering itself, she can take the place of the other party to harness the power hidden in their bodies.

Thundered......

The big purple lizard ran through the desert, raising a large expanse of yellow sand.

Robin made a chair out of Flowey's limbs, and sat comfortably on the back of the desert lizard, making his way to the nearby big city.

With the reputation and status of the Seven Martial Seas under King Klockdahl, where he is mainly active, just ask a local person to know.

『. B' sits back to back on the large purple lizard, and the part of the lizard's back that is materialized with his legs attached to it, so he doesn't need to fly, and is carried by the lizard.

Ten years of life return to practice......

Its long, narrow eyes were "closed" and it was pitch black.

Perhaps, it was really predetermined......

In the early years of the ontology, when it first involved in the field of life return, it had gradually become proficient in the property of "energy storage for later use". It was as if from that time on, I had been preparing for this catastrophe.

『. B's mind has deduced countless times.

The worst case it can guess is that the ontology will maintain a "low-power" "power-saving mode" of "low power consumption" for at least the past ten years, accumulating daily body energy......

If you don't go crazy, you won't survive.

The accumulation of ten years of components, when it becomes one with the ontology, will it explode on the spot, or will it soar into the sky and soar on the spot?

『City of Dreams, "Rainland"』

『"Rain Banquet" Casino, in the backstage channel——〗

Click......

Click......

Click......

In the empty corridor, there were many baroque Walter black-suit cadres lying all the way. Ahead, the sound of high heels echoed and went deeper into the corridor.

Click. The figure in the black leather coat and black ponytail stopped, and glanced back and upward.

Chopper, Luffy, Nami, ......?

They also came over so quickly, and it seems that they didn't follow Princess Vivi to find the base camp of the so-called rebels......

……

In the bright and spacious hall, on the big chair at one end of the luxurious long table, sat the king of the Seven Martial Powers of the Seven Warriors of the Great Horse, who was biting a cigar, turning a lighter in one hand, and tapping lightly on the table with the other, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the side door on the side of the hall room, and there was a soft sound of high heels behind the door, and finally stood still. Immediately afterwards, on the doorknob on this side of the hall, there were petals spinning up, and a soft arm grew, and the slender fingers held the handle and unscrewed it.

Silently, the side door was pushed open.

A black figure walked in, his dark green eyes looking at Klockdahl who was frowning at one end of the long table, "Long time no see, sand crocodile." ”

"......" Klockdahl bit his cigar, his face was quite ugly, and said coldly, "All day today, there has been constant news of the disappearance of my subordinates in Rainland City...... Looks like you're doing a good thing, right? Empty strip Xu Lun! ”

"It's a name I haven't heard in a long time."

Robin lowered his eyes to himself, walked slowly to the end of the long table, pulled out his chair, and sat down across from Klockdahl.

"Hehe......"

Klockdahl bit his cigar and sneered, "Or I'll just call you Nicole. Robin, or ...... Son of the Devil? You've been absent for ten years, and now you've suddenly appeared in Alabastan, and you've got rid of some of my men, and you've come to see me...... What do you want to do? ”

"You seem nervous." Robin put his hands on the table, "Don't worry, the person who can snatch your rustling fruit is not ...... now"

At this moment, in the direction of the casino outside, a clear roar of a teenager suddenly broke out:

"Klockdahl———— you come out for me————!!!!"

Hearing this noisy voice, Klockdahl's eyes suddenly sank, staring at the gloomy woman opposite, "...... You can't be one of these rookie pirates who have just run into the Great Voyage, are you?! ”

Robin said, "It's none of your business. ”

Klockdahl touched his golden left hook hand and said coldly: "Then you should tell me, what has to do with me?" ”

Robin stared at each other and slowly spit out the words: "Historical text." ”

“……？！” The corners of Klockdahl's eyes twitched slightly, and the change in expression was not obvious, but it was enough for Robin to judge. "You are entrenched in this country, and you really have a plan...... Moreover, it is related to the historical text. ”

Crocokdal's eyes were bloodshot, and he said coldly, "Don't you think—"

Bang!!

As he spoke, a large ceiling area next to him suddenly fell, and a square sea building stone prison fell from the upper floor.

"Robin?!" "Sister Robin!" "You're here too?" “……”

Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Zoro in the cage were all very surprised, and Smoker, who was sitting behind them, heard their shouting, and was directly shocked by the name they said, and couldn't hold back his original cold face, and said in astonishment: "What are you talking about!?" ”

He got up, rushed to Luffy's side, and grabbed the prison fence as well, and suddenly, like Luffy, his limbs were sore.

"Nicole...... Robin......?! Smoker glared at the woman sitting across from Klockdal, "Could it be that you're the other member of the Straw Hats......"

"......" Robin looked at the men in the cage.

Luffy picked his nose in wonder, "Just hearing Robin's name, why was he so surprised?" ”

Zoro muttered to himself, "That Klokdal is the same, obviously it is the Seven Martial Seas, but he looks a little nervous......"

"See we're nervous?" Luffy said. Usopp gave him a hand knife, "How is that possible! ”

"Hahahaha!!"

Klockdahl suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter, laughing so much that tears were about to break out of the corners of his eyes, "I really didn't expect that the dignified former king of the Seven Martial Seas, the 'son of the devil' Nicole. Robin, how could he be mixed up with such a few rookie pirates...... I really laughed at it!! ”

“……？！” Nami, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp all looked at him in disbelief.

They didn't hear it right, right?

"Luo Luo Luo Luo Robin Bin Bin Bin Bin ......" Usopp retreated in shock, "Robin used to be the Seven Martial Seas too?!!!! ”

Nami muttered to herself, "No wonder Sister Robin was so indifferent when she mentioned Klockdahl before......"

Yes? The sand crocodile twitched his brows, can you be quiet when you mutter? When Lao Tzu can't hear it?!

"Who do you say is nervous? Rookies. He looked at Luffy and the others in the cage coldly, "In this desert country, even if it is her, it is impossible for her to be my opponent." ”

"Really?"

Robin stood up with his hands on the table, "I'll ask again......"

Silently, several arms popped up on Klockdahl's body, and each hand was wrapped in armed color, turning pitch black!

"The 'historical text' that you are trying to provoke internal turmoil in this country......" Robin manipulated five armed palms to point at various points on Klockdahl's head, "where is it?" ”

What did she say? Smoker, who had been staring in the prison, narrowed his pupils even more, could it be that the Seven Martial Sea Sand Crocodiles ...... His Majesty?!

Could that be the domineering that Robin said? Armed color domineering?

Sauron stared at the jet-black arms that had grown out of Klockdal's body.

“……？！” Before Robin's attack fell, Klockdahl immediately turned into a cloud of yellow sand, and quickly flew to another location, not completely materialized, but half-sand and half-humanoid, staring coldly at Robin, just about to speak, but saw Robin nodding and muttering to himself: "It seems that you don't know yourself, where is the historical text you are trying to find......

Klockdahl raised his golden left hook hand and said coldly: "You still want to trick me?" Dream! ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it, turning into a knife of yellow sand and slashing at Robin.

Bang!!! The long table and the floor were cut in two, and such an amazing slash made Zoro's eyelids jump in the cage, and after Robin turned around to dodge, he raised his hand and was about to fight back, but he heard Luffy in the cage shouting, "Robin!" ”

Robin retreated, and Klockdahl frowned, looking over suspiciously, "Boy in a straw hat, squat in your prison, what are you calling?" ”

"I promised Vivi! Gotta beat you bastard!! ”

Luffy glared coldly at Klockdahl from behind the cage, then he looked at Robin, took two steps back, and slowly clenched his fists, "Robin, you're actually pretty good, right?" But we can't let you play pirate games with us all the time...... I'm sure I'll meet a more powerful opponent than this scar-faced bastard in the future, and if we can't even defeat this guy, what will we do in the future? ”

"So this guy-" Luffy said with a serious face, "we have to take it down here!! ”

The loud words echoed through the room, and Klockdahl was stunned for a moment. Am you being underestimated too much?!

"Luffy......" Nami looked at Luffy in surprise who had never been more serious than ever.

"Nami, Luffy is right." Zoro tied his turban and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, "If we can't master the domineering here, how can we have the face to continue sailing with Robin and Blackboy?" ”

Smoker watched from the sidelines and jumped his eyelids, do these newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers know what level of pirates the woman in their mouth is?

While you're still playing pirate games at home, this woman has already made a name for herself with that man all over the world......

"Why are you talking so much?" Nami complained and said depressedly, "What kind of faceless ...... Did Usopp make you shameless too? ”

Usopp, who had been at a loss since just now, was suddenly cued by Nami and said depressedly, "Why do you only talk about me?!" ”

"It's different!" Zoro pulled out two shiny knives, "You're a navigator, Usopp is a ship repairer, and Luffy and I are what?" We only have the ability to fight! ”

"Hey!" Usopp shook his hand depressedly, "Who's the ship repairer?" I'm a sniper......"

"......" Robin looked at them silently, and suddenly glanced back at the top of the high staircase behind him.

Bang!!!

At this moment, the luxurious main gate at the top of the stairs was suddenly kicked open, and several figures stood in the backlight.

"Sanji! Vivi! Chopper! ”

Vivi is on the left, the reindeer is on the right, and the knight in a black suit is in the center. Under the gaze of many eyes in the hall below, Sanji spat out his cigarette and said with a smile, "Sister Robin, is this the place?" It's quite a whole number of people, not only the king's seven martial seas, but even the navy! ”

Robin nodded at Sanji, of course she had just used the flower fruit to guide Sanji and them to find him.

"Actually......"

She sighed softly, turned around and raised her hand, and threw something into the cage fence, which Nami caught in a daze, "Key? It was from the sand crocodile during the fight just now......"

What?! Crocodall fumbled into his pocket, and sure enough, the key was gone.

With a click, Nami quickly opened the door of the sea tower stone cell, and Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, her, and the silent navy walked out together.

Robin shook his head, "I could only have used up his stamina for you......"

As she spoke, half of her face quickly withered and turned into petals as Chopper, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Vivi, and Smoker stared at her in surprise.

Just a doppelganger from the start?! When the sand crocodile saw this scene, more bloodshot appeared in his eyes, Lao Tzu was actually turned around by a doppelganger?!

Before the flower clone dissipated, he saw Luffy slamming his fists into each other, glaring at the sand crocodile and laughing, "Are you ready?" Stinky sand! ”

"Hmph...... I look at this crocodile, it's very suitable for trying knives! Sauron clenched his blades.

"Robin......" Chopper looked at the disintegrating flower clone, who nodded at it, "They'll leave it to you, Chopper......"

"Hmm!!" The little reindeer suddenly burned with fighting spirit.

Sanji was the first to raise his foot and kick it at Klockdahl's head, laughing, "Crocodile, have you ever been kicked by Gold?" ”

Smoker never said a word, looking at all this with a gloomy face, and also at Nicole. Robin's flower clone eventually disintegrates, turning into a cloud of petals and scattering......

……

"Ahead is the royal capital 'Albana.'"

Robin opened his eyes, and in his ears was '. B', she nodded, stood up on the chair at the top of the moving crab under her seat, and looked up at a majestic city in the desert that she was approaching in front of her vision.

After searching in the rain to no avail, she left a flower clone on her side and went to find the sand crocodile in the rain, hoping to get some information.

On the other hand, her main body travels directly to the royal capital of Alabastan.

If there really is a historical text in this country, then it is most likely to know where that thing is...... I'm afraid that only the Neferutari royal family, who once had the opportunity to become a member of the Draconians but gave up.

The current king, Neferutari. Kobra.

"What's wrong?" 『. B' saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time.

Robin said, "Chopper, they've already met the sand crocodile in the 'rainland'......"

『. B' said, "Don't worry, not to mention Chopper, it can master multiple transformations on its own, and it also has the result of researching the bloodline factor with Kureha, the 'Immortal Bean'...... And ......

It paused, looking at the majestic palace complex that stood on the hilltop slope in front of it.

"Tulips and Dorag's sons, as well as the heirs of the Frost Moon of Wano Country, don't die so easily at the hands of a mere sand crocodile......

～～～～～～～～～～

In the splendid royal palace, the magnificent dormitory.

Weiwei's father, the king of the land of sand, was rubbing his brows vigorously with a sad face at the moment, relieving the anxiety in his heart.

Suddenly, he heard a cold female voice: "Neferutari. Kobra ......"

“……？！”

Although Kobra was not shocked, he turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he was shocked: "You are—"

Click, click, click......

Robin, who was in a single ponytail and black leather boots, was surrounded by jet-black armor that was invisible to the naked eye, and she walked up to Kobra step by step, and asked lightly: "The sand crocodile wants the historical text of this country hidden somewhere, do you know where that thing is?" ”

Kobra wondered, "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

“…… Now that you recognize who I am," Robin pulled out a chair and sat down, "there's no need to play stupid, right?" ”

"......" Kobra was silent for a moment, rubbing his forehead and sighing heavily, "That's right. However, I didn't expect that you, who had disappeared for ten years, would reappear...... Nicole. Robin. ”

"......" Robin's expression did not change.

I don't know if this should be described as expressionless, or blank. "I don't want to use force against you, Mr. King. If you can, it's better to take me directly to the text of history...... I just want to take a look. ”

Before Kobra could answer, a pitch-black visor suddenly appeared in the air, and his long narrow eyes shimmered, "I advise you to listen to her, otherwise if we do something to you, it will not be easy to explain to Vivi later."

“…… Vivi?! Cobra's expression changed.

"That's right...... black visor fluttered around the king, and said quietly, "Neferutari. That Vivi's Vivi ......

Kobra's face changed, and finally he slowly got up, as if he had aged ten years, "I can take you to see ......"

But when he walked a few steps, he found that Nicole. Robin didn't follow.

Kobra looked back in confusion and saw Nicole. Robin turned his back to him, hesitated for a while as if he didn't dare to ask, and then said slowly: "Mr. King, as a descendant of the Twenty Kings who had the opportunity to become a member of the Celestial Dragon people eight hundred years ago...... Have you ever heard any particular rumors about Mary Joya in the Holy Land? ”

"Special rumors?" Kobra's eyes changed.

Robin still didn't dare to look back, pursed his lips, and waited for an answer behind him.

It seemed that 10,800 years had passed, and then Kobra finally said slowly: "Six years ago, when I was attending the World Conference in the Holy Land of Mary Joa, I did hear a rumor that I don't know whether it is true or not......

Nicole. Robin still hasn't looked back. But Kobra clearly noticed that her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her hands were clenched unconsciously.

Kobra sighed lightly, touched the short white beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "There are rumors near Mary Joa's Pangu City that in the first two years of that time, several Celestial Dragons died mysteriously in Pangu City...... And it's a violent death! No injuries were found on his body...... The death was extremely miserable...... "His eyes were clouded, and he said quietly, "Many of the other Draconians were terrified, they said...... The appearance of those Celestial Dragons who died, obviously without any external injuries to their heads, seemed to be overwhelmed by their brains! It's as if ......

"It's like sitting at home and dying!!"
