New Student, Deity, Small Talk

Admissions Office.

"All your assets?"

Perona blinked, sensing that the other person was being somewhat unreasonable.

However, normal academies wouldn't teach such advanced techniques as Haki.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. "Take it all if you want! I must become stronger so that Lord Moria can recover!"

Upon hearing Ghost Princess's words, Robin's lips curled into a Vivi smile.

If the dean heard this, he would probably like this girl very much, right?

Wang Yan was a strange and unpredictable person who acted on a whim, but after spending some time with him, Robin finally managed to grasp some of his likes and dislikes.

After saying a few words to the Crystal, Nico Robin looked up and smiled, "Congratulations on officially becoming a member of the Protagonist Academy."

"It's that simple?"

Perona floated in the air, hands on her hips, her black and white striped stockings gleaming in the sunlight, highlighting her long, beautiful legs.

"You're not a scammer, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Robin covered half of his face with one hand and sighed.

Are little girls these days so wary?

Her slender hands were covered in a dark purple Armament Haki coating, and with a single reach, she grabbed the Ghost Princess's ankle.

"It's time for class."

"You arrived late and are lagging far behind the other students. You need extra tutoring."

Robin dragged Perona into the classroom like he was carrying a human balloon doll.

Ghost Princess's plush pet Kumashi followed after her, sweating profusely.

"Hey! Let go!"

"You should call me Teacher Robin."

"Is the Protagonist Academy really that short-staffed?"

"Hehe..."

And so, Perona, Nami, and Natasha became the three students of the first class at the Protagonist Academy.

The first half of the Grand Line.

Alabasta, a desert country.

The royal capital, Alubarna.

At this moment, Queen Vivi received Smoker, the White Hunter, and his assistant Tashigi.

Smoker had a cigar dangling from his mouth, looking rather cocky.

Tashigi, who was promoted from Sergeant Major to Lieutenant Marine Headquarters, took on the task of requesting reinforcements. "The Straw Hat Pirates are powerful and cunning, making them difficult to capture."

"For the sake of justice, we need your help, Your Majesty!"

Vivi looked at the glint in Tashigi's eyes, the tall, slender figure from the depths of her memory resurfaced.

She could never forget who had saved him from that Red Hair devil.

Nico Robin, the Flower-Flower Person with the legendary strongest power.

She could save others, but she couldn't save herself.

A solitary figure, standing alone, utterly forlorn.

She cannot trust anyone, nor can she accept the trust of others.

This is truly heartbreaking.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Robin's position in Vivi's heart had even surpassed that of her Gaara Koza.

Realizing the other person seemed somewhat lost in thought, Tashigi pouted and childishly uttered the other person's name. "Your Her Majesty the Queen Nefertari Vivi?"

Vivi, lost in memories of Robin, suddenly awoke, her consciousness returning from fantasy to reality.

She forced a smile and said, "It's alright, I understand what you mean."

"Suppressing pirate crews and maintaining order and peace in the kingdom is my duty."

"Speaking of which, we owe a lot to Major General Nami for the previous turmoil in Alabasta."

"You've really worked hard."

Upon hearing this, Smoker's cigar suddenly fell to the ground.

He lit another cigarette for himself, expressionless.

According to reliable sources, Major General Nami barely made a move at the time.

It was only three of her generals who forced Crocodile to disband Baroque Works and voluntarily withdraw from the Shichibukai.

Blood Wolf Logan, Black Tortoise Steve Rogers, and Black Widow Natasha.

Smoker understands the power of the Shichibukai better than anyone else.

That's not just strength on a purely physical level, but strength in every aspect!

Power, financial resources, manpower, and military strength!

He couldn't imagine how those three guys, who were just like him and only colonels, could have achieved this!

That's good.

Smoker regained his composure and turned to leave.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry!"

Tashigi, the bespectacled girl carrying a sword, bowed to Queen Vivi and immediately left the palace.

Vivi looked around blankly.

Palace maids, guards, attendants...

People came and went, but she felt somewhat lonely.

Where is the person she cares about right now?

Vivi was a little worried about Robin.

The legend of the strongest Flower-Flower Fruit has always circulated along the Grand Line.

What if someone attacks her out of jealousy?

What if Robin Devil Fruit Awakening her Devil Fruit powers and, like the Flower Flower Devil Fruit User from hundreds of years ago, erases her own existence?

She wanted to Dao Yi the other person in person.

"You want to see Nico Robin, right?"

A gentle male voice sounded in Vivi's ear.

"Who!"

Vivi's pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like shapes, and Vivi spine hunched over, gathering power like Slingshot.

Her slender, not-so-strong body instantly sprang several meters.

Inside the palace, all the guards, maids, and ministers lowered their heads, as if they had seen and heard nothing.

"Has everyone been bribed?"

Vivi felt a chill in her heart, but she pulled out a self-defense dagger from beside her leather boots and looked defiantly at the other party.

Her ascension to the throne was not smooth sailing.

Before becoming queen, she infiltrated Baroque Works as an undercover agent and bounty hunter for a period of time.

Stubbornness is etched into every drop of Vivi's blood.

She got a clear look at the other person's face.

With long, jet-black hair, dark, gem-like pupils, and soft, flowing hair, he looked like a gentle, sunny, and handsome older brother next door.

But Vivi felt something was strange.

Despite her outstanding appearance, she forgot what the other person looked like the moment she closed her eyes.

She was too weak to remember the other person's appearance—this thought flashed through Vivi's mind in an instant.

Queen Vivi knew very well that this idea was illogical and had no basis whatsoever, but that was exactly what she thought.

This is like a form of self-protection for the brain and memory.

"Don't be too nervous."

Wang Yan smiled gently, his words like a gentle stream, soothing the soul. "I know where Nico Robin is."

Upon hearing Robin's name, Vivi's hostility lessened considerably.

She reversed the blade of the dagger that Quasi-King and sheathed it. "Who exactly are you?"

"Even though you may have a hard time understanding, I'll still explain it to you briefly."

Wang Yan spoke calmly.

Like a historian chanting, he said Youyou, "At first, I was just World Peeker."

"Then, I became Cosmic Observer."

"As for now..."

"I am a Plane Guide."

"I control destiny, I twist cause and effect, and I change the future."

Vivi felt a chill between her fingers and got goosebumps all over her body.

Based on the other person's description, she could only imagine a divine being devoid of emotional fluctuations.

If what Wang Yan said is true, perhaps...

He is the true god.

So, the problem arises.

What is he going to do?

What aspects of myself are worth utilizing?
