Nico Robin

After ramming and destroying a ship, Xia Qiu swam away into the distance, circled around, and then accelerated towards the intact ship.

Now his power is so great that even ships that can withstand the storms of the Grand Line can be irreparably damaged by a single blow, and sink in two blows.

However, in Xia Qiu, when they were about to encounter the sea vessel.

Clang, clang, clang, clang.

Several sounds rang out, and crossbow bolts shot out from the ship's hull.

Puff, puff.

Two crossbow bolts struck the nearby ocean, embedding themselves in it, while the other two hit Xia Qiu's body.

One bullet hit his forehead, and another hit his side, grazing his body.

The next moment, the scale that was hit head-on was slightly dented, and fine cracks spread out from the dented area, but it was not broken. The scale that was hit from the side, however, was only left with a white mark.

During the battle between Xia Qiu and the Lionheart Pirates, he was shot by a fish crossbow, his scales exploded, his muscles were destroyed, leaving deep grooves.

At that time, Xia Qiu had devoured two pirate crews, fifty or sixty Hundred Million Elder, and several powerful individuals.

In the current Xia Qiu, after further strengthening, the impact toughness and fracture toughness of the scales exceed those of iron, and the hardness exceeds that of rock, but the rigidity is much less than that of rock.

However, while the muscles beneath the scales can absorb force, they are not strong enough to allow any single point on the scale to withstand excessively concentrated force.

This is enough to allow the scales to withstand the force of the crossbow bolts until it is neutralized, with only a few slight cracks appearing.

This injury had absolutely no effect on Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu crashed straight into the ship. With a deafening roar, the ship was smashed open, and seawater poured in.

"Drop the bomb! Drop the bomb!"

Bombs were dropped onto the sea and exploded as they approached the water.

Boom, boom, boom.

The bomb exploded violently, the shockwave traveling through the water. The water's resistance caused the Shockwave to bounce off, reducing its force.

The remaining force was no longer enough for Xia Qiu to break through the scales.

"It's no use."

On another ship, Robin stood on the deck, watching the Black Fish swim downstream after being hit by the bomb, his face extremely grim.

It's useless.

Neither crossbow bolts nor explosives seemed to have much effect.

Especially the fishing crossbow; after hitting the target, it didn't even break the skin.

The crossbow bolts used for fishing had such great impact that they could even pierce the skull of a sea monster.

"Unbeatable."

Robin saw his ability and instantly figured out the answer. Then she walked to the stern of the ship and stretched out her hands.

Arms appeared at the small boat and its stern, untied the ropes, and lowered the boat into the sea.

Swoosh.

Robin jumped off the stern and landed on the small boat. At this moment, some other people saw Robin's actions and knew that she was going to escape. They wanted to follow her and came to the side of the boat one by one, trying to jump on, but they all fell to the ground.

Robin ignored them, waved his arm again, and more than a dozen arms grew out, raising the sail on the central mast. Then he grabbed several oars and began to row the small boat.

With Robin's power, the small boat sailed away into the distance.

"We are very close to Alabasta from here."

Robin squinted and thought, "As long as they can hold off that Black Fish for a while, I can get ashore."

Robin thought to himself and increased the speed at which he rowed the oars, and the boat suddenly sped up.

"What is that?"

Xia Qiu circled around, intending to rush forward again, but at the same time, he suddenly caught a feedback sound wave signal.

"Trying to run?"

Xia Qiu noticed a small boat leaving the sea and having traveled some distance; it was behind another boat.

If the positions hadn't been misaligned, my own sound waves wouldn't have been able to detect it.

How could we possibly let you escape?

Those who manage to escape by small boat at this time are usually quite strong; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to seize a boat.

I can't let Mr. 2 Bon Clay escape like last time, losing so much energy in the process.

More importantly, Xia Qiu intends to wipe them out completely this time, leaving no one alive.

With that thought in mind, Xia Qiu changed direction and rushed towards the small boat.

"You're here?"

Robin saw a dark shadow looming in the distance, and a huge ramming horn appeared on the water's surface, its dorsal fin like a small sail, rapidly approaching.

Why would they attack me?

Robin felt a chill run through him. The ship hadn't sunk yet, and instead of continuing the attack, it attacked him first.

Robin tried to increase her speed, but her physical strength was limited, and the arms that grew out of the flower were not much different from her own arms.

There's no chance anymore.

Robin watched the Black Fish getting closer and closer, his heart filled with despair.

"Twenty-Round Flower, a giant tree."

Robin saw the Black Fish approach the small boat and suddenly waved his arm. The next moment, arms emerged from the stern of the boat, overlapping each other to form a giant arm.

boom.

A massive arm slammed down on the small boat.

Smack

The palm struck Xia Qiu's exposed ramming head on the water's surface, but immediately dispersed, turning into flower petals.

"What the hell?"

Xia Qiu felt a tremendous force come from him, which made him pause, but he was not injured.

Too weak.

Xia Qiu thought to himself, then swung his body again and charged forward, leaping forward and crashing directly into the small boat.

"Flowering."

The instant Xia Qiu rammed the small boat, arms grew out from the stern and pressed down on Xia Qiu's head.

Click, click.

The sound of bones cracking echoed repeatedly from his arm, and Robin's face grew increasingly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

But they held on.

Using the force of bending his arm, Robin neutralized Xia Qiu's forward momentum, and at the same time, the force of his arm pushing the boat forward propelled it a short distance.

It was blocked.

Xia Qiu was slightly taken aback, then rushed out again, this time using five-tenths of Xia Qiu strength.

Robin gritted his teeth, and this time, long, slender legs grew out of the ship, ending in long, fair, jade-like feet.

Clap clap clap.

Robin stepped on Xia Qiu's head, trying to block Xia Qiu's attack.

But the next moment, all the legs broke, and Xia Qiu crashed into the boat.

boom.

The small boat was smashed to pieces and slowly sank. Robin leaped backward, dodging Xia Qiu's impact, but landed in the water.

"It's over."

Feeling powerless in his body, Robin looked ashen-faced. He was in the water, powerless, and unable to even fight back.

Am I going to die?

He was about to die before he could fulfill his dream.

What's even more ridiculous is that he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of a sea fish.

What bad luck!

Robin's eyes flashed with resentment as his body fell limply downwards.

"Falling in a straight line? Is it because they can't swim? Devil Fruit User?"

Xia Qiu noticed that his body was falling straight down. She slowly backed away to create distance, opened her nictitating membrane, looked at the other person, and immediately froze.

She has a tall figure, long blue-black hair, fair skin, and a pair of red-black eyes that radiate a captivating light.

She has thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and sexy lips.

Especially her two long legs clad in boots, the exposed parts of which were rounded and slender.

It's not exactly beautiful, but it has a unique charm.

Robin.

Xia Qiu recognized her instantly. According to the timeline, she should have just joined Baroque Works and was now the Vice President of Baroque Works.

How could it be her?

Xia Qiu's gaze became complicated.

Should we eat her?

(In the manga, Robin's skin is white; in the first season of the anime, it's tanned, but in the second season, it's changed back to white. Also, in the original manga, Robin's eyes are red-black, while in the anime they are blue-black. For now, we'll follow the manga's description.)
