Chapter 19: A Night at the Docks
As soon as the old man's chatter box was opened, especially after drinking, he was simply stacked with a buff.
The only good news was that Hades finally received the hand-drawn map, and the old man repeatedly assured them that it was his brainchild's work, and that all the locations and locations on it were correct, so that they could use it with confidence.
That's when it happened.
"Robin! You're back! ”
Hades sat by the campfire and was thinking about where he was going tomorrow when he suddenly felt a familiar gaze fall on him.
Raising his head, he just happened to bump into Robin holding his knees, smirking at himself from afar.
On his immature face, a pair of dark eyes were filled with tears of excitement, sweat could not stop dripping, and his innocent smile was like a child who was showing goodwill to adults.
"Why is it all Khan, has something happened?" Hades wanted to lean over, but the distance was limited, so he had to beckon Robin over.
"It's okay, I'm afraid I'll be worried if I've been gone for too long." Robin gasped and walked over to him, only to notice that there was a group of people sitting around the campfire, watching the two of them.
The old fisherman blushed drunk, looked at Hades on the left, and the well-behaved Robin on the right.
Aristocrats, families, rivals, young masters and young ladies, adventures at sea? Elope?
A series of stories came out of his mind, and he actually made up all the stories of the two from birth to the present, and he couldn't help but give Hades a thumbs up, young man, there is a future!
"The town's bazaars are closed, fresh water and food are not available, but I have inquired about a place on the dock to replenish resources, and I can go there now."
As soon as Robin came over, she began to report her work to Hades, carefully looking at the other party's expression, a little worried that she had not done a good job.
"Then didn't you run in vain, sit down and rest first, there are grilled fish and water here, you have eaten half a piece of bread in the past two days, and your body should not be able to hold on."
Hades pulled Robin to sit down, and fearing that she would catch a cold if she was covered in sweat and the sea breeze blew, so he borrowed clean cloth from the fishermen and handed it to her, and the two of them sat down by the campfire and made a fire.
Robin was amazed by Hades' attitude, and while sitting down to eat the grilled fish quietly, he secretly looked at the boy next to him.
"Do you think I'm scary?" Hades also has the mental age of an adult, and soon noticed the strangeness of the girls around him.
Seeing this, Robin quickly shook his head, but after meeting Hades's eyes, he thought for a moment and nodded again.
"Actually, it's fine, I mean...... You may have experienced more than others, so ......"
"If you're afraid, why didn't you refuse when I invited you aboard?" Hades asked.
Robin blinked, "Because those 'navy' on the deck ...... You saved me and killed them, the world government and navy will not let you go, I think you will take me in, and then there is ......"
“...... We're a lot like the same kind of people. ”
Hades was silent.
Now Robin is still only betrayed by ordinary people, and in her mind she may really be the demon of O'Hara's remnant, so she wants to find someone who is also regarded as an enemy by the world government or navy, so that she can have a home and a companion of her own.
But Hades, who has read the original book, knows that even if Robin later joined many pirates and underground organizations, he still couldn't escape the fate of "betrayal", so that in the end, she was used to such a life.
Because he was named a "demon", he could only throw himself into the darkness, such a fate......
Hades looked at the girl next to him, and the more he looked at it, the more pitiful he felt.
"I'm sorry, I was emotionally troubled at the time, so I said a lot of weird things, actually...... I ......"
Hades wanted to explain that he hadn't killed anyone, and that all he had killed so far was what Robin had seen, plus at most a pirate who had been killed by a mast.
But when the words came to his lips, he stopped suddenly, because he saw the expression on Robin's face, and he knew that he didn't have to say it anymore, she understood.
Maybe it's like she said, they're a lot like the same kind of people.
When the day dawned, the sea breeze blew across the sea, carrying a salty and wet smell, and it felt itchy on the face.
Hades and Robin sat together around a campfire for the night.
The fishermen's grilled fish dinner had long since ended, and they went back to their respective homes, and the old fisherman Berkefu did not forget to bring a blanket to the two of them, for fear that the two children would catch a cold in the sea breeze.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go."
Hades woke Robin, who had been a pillow for her all night because he didn't have to sleep, and stood up and moved, only to feel that his right shoulder was numb.
It turns out that the ship spirit will also feel numb!
"Oh~"
Robin raised his head in confusion, his eyes were still a little hazy, and when he woke up from his daze, he couldn't help but blush when he saw himself lying on top of Hades, and quickly sat up straight and tidied up his clothes.
"I see."
"I've asked Dadia where to buy supplies at the docks, and the supply depot is built by the sea, and I'll just drive there alone. With the rest of the money, you can go to the market again and buy some daily necessities, we still have a long way to go. ”
Hades redistributed the 200,000 Baileys and decided to split up.
"Hmm." Robin sensibly took the money and was not polite, because she knew that taking care of herself was the greatest help to Hades.
"I asked Grandpa Berkefu, there is no navy stationed on the island, don't run back this time, I will wait for you at the supply depot."
Hades said a few more words, and after watching the girl's back disappear into the town, he got on the ship and set off, driving the Hades to the supply station at the docks to buy fresh water and emergency food.
The purchasing power of Pele in the One Piece world...... It should be similar to the yen, Hades remembers not knowing who he had heard such a thing at the beginning, whether it was true or not, in short, he had experienced it firsthand.
The 100,000 Bailey in hand bought him and Robin enough fresh water and food to last for two months, and after watching the workers carry buckets and boxes of food onto the ship, Hades waited for Robin boredly.
It didn't take long for Robin to return.
The girl went to the market with 100,000 Bailey, and when she returned, most of the money in her hand was still unspent.
I bought only a few changes of clothes, five books as thick as a dictionary, and ...... A toilet bowl......
Robin blushed and put away her books and clothes, then got on the boat and hid her toilet.
It seems that the incident of floating on the sea and squatting on the plank to relieve her hands left a deep shadow on her. But...... In fact, as long as everything is on the ship, it will automatically be recognized as his property, so ...... Hades can actually still sense it, of course, this time he will never be stupid again, and must pretend that he is completely unaware.
