Nico Robin's Journey Through Time (3/4)
Alubarna.
This is the capital of the Alabasta Kingdom, the residence of the royal family.
As evening fell, Robin sat under the eaves, watching the sky gradually darken, feeling lonely and isolated.
She felt that her life, like the afterglow of the setting sun, was being stripped away by the night.
Betraying Baroque Works did not provoke Crocodile's furious retaliation.
Standing behind Princess Vivi, existing as a shadow, she no longer needed to worry about the Navy's continued pursuit.
For Robin, who had adapted to a fast-paced and intense lifestyle, this void was fatal.
She stared blankly at the setting sun, glare forming on her beautiful eyes, tears slowly streaming down her cheeks.
"Vivi is right, history is always written by the victors..."
Does the true text of history really exist?
Most people die in their twenties or thirties. After that age, they are merely shadows of themselves, spending the rest of their lives imitating themselves, day after day.
They simply repeat their past actions, thoughts, loves, and hates in a more mechanical and pretentious way.
Robin was such a pitiful woman.
Under the Buster Call, Ohara was destroyed, and for many years afterward, she lingered in a hell of betrayal and betrayal, unable to escape.
This is the cage Robin built for himself.
She has always wanted to find the Poneglyph and discover the truth hidden for a hundred years.
This pursuit is essentially the mission she has given herself.
Now, Robin, whose ideals are beginning to waver, is imprisoned in his own cage, unable to break free.
To break through this constraint, a little external force is needed.
A figure descended beside Robin.
Black hair, black eyes, a fitted white trench coat, and the epaulettes of Vice Admiral.
Robin's pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like shapes, a chill ran through him, and his blood began to circulate, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
She took a few steps back, her hands loosely clasped together, her fingers icy cold. "Who!"
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."
Wang Yan smiled gently and reached out to pat the air in front of him.
Robin felt like a stray cat whose head had been patted, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Devil Fruit user?"
This the Dark Lord who arrived suddenly put too much pressure on her.
The other party did not show any hostility; in fact, they appeared relaxed and at ease.
But the more this happened, the more terrified Robin became.
CP9? Or even the legendary CP0?
Wrong...
She felt a pressure from Wang Yan that far surpassed that of Crocodile and Aokiji.
Robin reacted instinctively, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and adopted an aggressive stance.
Seeing this, Wang Yan chuckled softly.
"Melancholy stems from incompetence."
"Trouble arises from unfulfilled desires."
"Hospitality is a sign of cowardice."
"To put it bluntly, I can help you."
Wang Yan said in Youyou voice, his eyes clear, "You now face a choice—to accept or to refuse."
Changing a person's fate is really not a big deal for him.
For example, Nami.
Without spending a single Reward Points, he simply created a "God-tier Tycoon System" that was essentially a "Blessing" system, which completely changed the girl's fate.
Wang Yan would not hesitate to take action against those who evoke his pity.
Moreover, this is not simply a grant; it is also an experiment that benefits the improvement of one's overall strength.
If Robin refuses, he immediately turns and leaves.
"I..."
The highly vigilant girl instinctively wanted the other person to leave.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she hesitated.
Suppressing his hostility for the time being, Robin remained silent for a long time before, almost as if possessed, asking, "If I accept your help, will you help me realize my dream?"
"Dream."
Wang Yan repeated the two words, seemingly savoring them slowly for a moment, before chuckling. "Your dream is naive and laughable, it has no value in being realized, and it's far inferior to Chopper's ideal."
In his view, if Robin doesn't change her values, her greatest value in life will probably be serving as the official mouthpiece for the Revolutionary Army and digging up the dark history of the World Government.
She only pursued the truth, but had no thoughts of her own.
Even if the Revolutionary Army later called her a "guiding light," in essence, she was just a tabloid reporter.
Robin didn't know who Chopper was.
But she wouldn't allow her dream to be tarnished like that.
That's the foundation that has kept her alive until now!
Nico Robin was about to get angry when she found herself unable to move.
He was like a marble sculpture; even his heartbeat and breathing stopped.
This feeling is strange.
She can see, hear, and feel, and doesn't even show many signs of discomfort.
"A paranoid girl..."
"Even if I talk until my throat is White Fang, you probably still won't understand."
Wang Yan glanced at her indifferently, his tone cold. "Go and see for yourself, and you'll understand."
After he finished speaking, he snapped his the Snap.
Something amazing happened.
Robin's body gradually Hollowfication and disappeared, as if merging into the air.
She regained her ability to move, only to find herself transformed into a spirit-like being.
Unable to communicate with people or directly touch anything.
"I can't send your physical body back with me right now, but I can still do it with just your soul and a bit of the Devil Fruit's power."
Wang Yan spoke, he waved his hand.
As the winds rose and the clouds shifted, Robin's soul, imbued with the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, was cast into the reverse flow of the River of Time.
"All history is contemporary history."
"Go and experience it for yourself, and you'll realize how boring your so-called dreams are."
As the vortex of time surged, Robin felt that everything before her eyes had changed.
A clever young girl arrived in a strange place.
Unable to communicate with others, she can still use her current "invisibility" to easily gather intelligence.
"This is... nine hundred years ago!"
Robin's pupils Vivi, and her breathing became rapid.
Humanities, geography, customs...
These are definitely not things that can be faked by human hands.
She clearly realized that she had traveled through time and returned to nine hundred years ago.
A hundred years that have vanished from history!
Robin even discovered that although she couldn't directly influence external things, she could access some things through the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit.
Realizing this, Robin 'Vivi lips curled up slightly, and he became highly motivated.
She witnessed history, she touched history, she changed history!
Time is a fascinating toy.
In reality, it was only a blink of an eye before Robin fell out of the void and returned to his original form.
But in Robin's view, she traveled through history, fought battles, and spent a long time.
She was clearly much older than before, and her former girlish demeanor had transformed into a mature charm.
Robin's eyes were filled with the marks of time and hardship.
Even though she was already in an invincible position, she still couldn't reverse everything.
She tried her best and fought hard, but one person's strength was not enough to change the entire battle situation.
Tell me, what did you see?
Wang Yan teased.
"Everything is boring."
Robin sighed, "History always repeats itself."
"Vivi is right. It's just the old story of the victor writing everything. I couldn't change anything."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan Vivi's lips curled into a slight smile.
No, she did change something.
These changes were noticed by Wang Yan, which enhanced his understanding of the Space Law and increased his overall combat power by 12.3%.
In addition to these, there are some more far-reaching changes...
