The operation to infiltrate the royal tomb went well, the Blade of the Wind opened the door twice, and Zoro and Robin entered and exited without alerting the guards, and cleanly rubbed the historical text preserved in Alabastan.

The dragon stayed in the hotel to interrogate Spandam, a waste snack, and with his means, he could dig out a lot of information from the mouth of the extremely heartfelt Spandam, and there was a little Feng Feng with heavy makeup standing next to him, and the dragon planned to let him infiltrate the world government in place of Spandam to steal some information.

Although Spandam's official position is not high, after all, he has a father in a high position, and he also hides a lot of secrets in private, but it is a pity that his brain is not good, except for those dirty things that are not in his mind, otherwise he would not let Xiao Feng Feng take such a big risk to lurk.

Zoro didn't get involved in the affairs of the revolutionary army, he just asked Xiao Feng Feng to pay attention to safety, and he ran away if he couldn't stand it, and there was no need to risk his life for irrelevant things.

On the other side, the pheasant, who had no space door, slid all the way to Albana, and ate before Karp had supper.

Looking at the pheasant who was eating a barbecue and icing a drink by hand, Karp unceremoniously handed his orange juice over to him to help cool down, and although he was unreliable, he wouldn't drink when he needed to stay sober.

"Did you meet that kid on the way?"

The pheasant raised his eyes to look at him: "Which one?" ”

"Hey, you kid." Karp squeezed his eyes, looking like he didn't say anything.

He knew that the pheasant knew that Sauron was chasing Spandam, and he knew that the pheasant knew that he knew that Sauron was chasing Spandam, but everyone was smart, so he just pretended to be confused.

Anyway, it's the people of the World Government who are dead, and what does it matter to their navy.

Kaku and Kalifa, who are lurking in the capital of the seven waters, do not know that their teammates have been wiped out, and they are still tirelessly sawing wood and resisting the harassment of their bosses.

That night, Sauron was invited to dinner with the dragon.

"Every time I see you, I have to sigh that Koshiro taught a good apprentice." As Karp's son, the dragon still adheres to table manners, does not spray rice while talking, and only speaks after swallowing food every time, maintaining the demeanor of a leader.

Zoro across from him was not so particular: "In the future, the whole world will know." ”

"Saab has told me many times that he wants you to join the revolutionary army." The dragon looked at Zoro, who exuded an aura of confidence, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "I see in you the otherworldly qualifications that are the same as Sabo's, or even above him. ”

Zoro waved his hand: "I can't say that, I'm just experienced. ”

Hearing this, the dragon was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Sabo, who has participated in various battles by his side, must have more combat experience than Sauron, who has been hiding in the village and practicing hard, but looking at Zoro's calm eyes, he has to believe three points.

"There are too many eyes and ears of the Navy and the World Government in Albana at the moment, and we can't stay here for too long." The dragon finished the food, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Zoro seriously: "I hope you can go with me, you are now being watched by many people, and it is possible that you were intercepted as soon as you went to sea." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have my own plans." Sauron rejected the dragon's kindness, and he had already planned his route.

As for being targeted, not to mention whether he will be killed by him alone, no one can leave him alone with the Wind Blade in his hand.

"Robin is my buddy, and I'm sure my friends in the Revolutionary Army will take care of her." Zoro stood up and held out his hand: "I will not join the revolutionary army, but if there is anything that needs help, I will not sit idly by. ”

The dragon stood up and reached out to shake Sauron's hand, his tattooed face revealing a kind smile, "Looking forward to the day when I will fight alongside you in the future." ”

"Oh, yes, then we'll meet again." Sauron smiled in return.

……

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Robin, who was reading a book in the room, walked over to open the door, and unsurprisingly saw Zoro's face.

"You're leaving?" Before Sauron could speak, Robin had already said what he was about to say.

"To be exact, everybody's leaving."

"It seems that the arrival of the pheasant has complicated the situation."

"Who's to say it isn't."

“……”

In the silence of the night, the room was brightly lit and soft, and Robin looked at Sauron quietly, looking at the only man who hadn't looked at her in a strange light since she was on the wanted list, and who was genuinely kind to her.

It's only sixteen years old, but it has a reliability that many adult men don't have.

"I'm going to go to Sky Island next, where there is a historical text." Zoro was a little uncomfortable by Robin's look, and took his eyes off the other party's face, and then removed from the graceful body wrapped in a tight denim suit: "You first follow Mr. Long and them back to the revolutionary army base, and I will rub the historical text down and let Sabo bring it to you." ”

Noticing the shift of Zoro's gaze, Robin smiled and tilted his head, leaned forward and whispered, "Should I say thank you?" ”

"We are partners." Zoro didn't look away this time and said to Robin seriously.

Zoro had always been deeply wary of Robin when he first joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and even though the whole ship accepted Robin's existence, he still couldn't accept this scheming woman.

Later, if it weren't for the anger on the empty island that improved the relationship between the two for Hongyan, the atmosphere on the ship would have stiffened for a while.

And now, he already knows how insecure Robin is, how eager to be accepted, and will naturally give her the response she wants.

Feeling the sincerity and kindness contained in Zoro's gaze, Robin only felt that his eyes were slightly sour.

She didn't like to expose her vulnerable side, and she still had that fox-like smile on her face: "Then please give me a lot of advice, Mr. Swordsman." ”

"Okay." Zoro nodded, then took out a thin booklet from the storage space of the Wind Blade and handed it to Robin: "This is the method I have summarized about the development and training of armed color domineering and seeing and hearing color domineering, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Sabo or Mr. Dragon." ”

Taking the booklet, which was only four or five pages, Robin flipped through it, and it was a summary of Sauron's personal insights and experiences, and the value of the Great Voyage would not be lower than her bounty.

"Although there will be people in the revolutionary army to protect your safety, you still have to have the ability to protect yourself when you go out." Sauron said and pulled out another bag, "Here are the seeds that Uncle Sam gave me, and it is said that if you take care of them, you can produce very beautiful flowers. ”

“…… Thank you. Robin held the bag in the palm of his hand, obviously it was only so little, but it was heavy in his hand.

Before Robin could finish moving, Zoro took out another piece of parchment and stuffed it to Robin: "And this, Uncle Sam has been in contact with the former Huahuaguo ability, this is what he told me about the direction of Huahuaguo's ability development, I have also written them down, you can study it slowly later." ”

Zoro knows very well that it is difficult to move an inch in this sea, and at this point in time, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates except Robin is basically living an ordinary life, and the path that Zoro is going to take is destined to be accompanied by death and danger all the time, and he is not ready to let them follow the adventure before his partners are fledgling.

In fact, after meeting the pheasant, Robin knew that they would not stay here, so he packed his luggage early and changed into clothes for the trip, waiting for Zoro to say goodbye to her.

It's just that she didn't expect Zoro to prepare so many parting gifts for herself, and she only gave him a pair of glasses, even though he never said anything in return.

Seeing that Zoro took out a wood carving in his pocket and handed it to himself as if he remembered something, Robin looked at the wood carving that was five points similar to himself, and couldn't help but laugh out loud while being moved.

Fingers gently caressing the polished surface of the wood carving, Robin pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had let go of something, and she leaned in front of Zoro, the distance between the two was less than half a meter.

The height of 1.88 meters and a pair of hating heights allowed Robin to look down on Zoro slightly, and the boy who stubbornly increased to 1.8 meters had to take half a step back at close range, because of the height difference, he could only see two looming white rabbits when he looked at it.

Robin's somewhat cold hand caressed the side of Zoro's face, and then the warm lips that quietly bloomed in his palm were imprinted on his reddening face.

"It's a return gift."
