I Am Invincible, Do As You Please!

Mo Xingchen rubbed Robin's short hair. He had to admit, it felt quite nice. He said gently, "What did you call me on the raft today?"

"Brother?"

Robin replied, sobbing softly as she looked at Mo Xingchen.

"Exactly. Did you think I was joking? A brother protecting his sister is only natural. So, feel free to eat whatever you want, you won't lack money with your brother around!

Starting tomorrow, while I won't have you doing chores, I will supervise your training! You should have a deep understanding of what happened today. Without strength, you can't even protect what you want to protect, let alone chase your dreams.

So, can you stick with it?"

Robin slowly stopped crying and stared blankly at Mo Xingchen, nodding firmly.

"Mhm!"

"Secondly, Sauron was right. What you have is called a Devil Fruit ability. It's uncommon in the Four Seas, but it's quite common in the Grand Line and the New World.

These are further divided into three major categories: Logia Type fruits, like that cold, emotionless fool today, who has the Ice-Ice Fruit ability. Your situation falls under Paramecia Type fruits. There's also the Zoan Type fruit, which allows you to transform into various animals after eating it.

We won't go into detail about that today. You'll gradually learn about it during your training, so you don't have to be afraid of people looking at you like a monster. They might even envy you. Of course, your brother would never dislike you!"

"Mhm mhm!"

Seeing Robin's emotions gradually stabilize, Mo Xingchen felt relieved. He hated it most when sensible children cried; the more sensible they were, the more his heart ached. He got up, poured a glass of water for the little Robin, and handed it to her. Then, stroking his chin, he said, "Hmm~ Thirdly! Can't find your life goal? That's easy. In a few more years, your brother will probably be invincible worldwide! So, you can do as you please, live however you want!"

Robin held the cup of water, her bright eyes blinking, her small mouth open.

"Can I still research Poneglyphs in the future?"

"Of course! But you can't research them too conspicuously, and if anyone asks, you must say you can't understand them! Other than that, you can do whatever you want."

"Can I buy lots and lots of books in the future?"

"Of course!"

"Will anyone try to capture me in the future?"

"With your brother here, whoever comes will die!"

"Brother, how strong are you now?"

"There are probably only 7 or 8 people in the world I can't beat, and a few of them are even allies. Let me tell you a little secret. The first time that cold, poker-faced guy met your brother today, I beat him so badly he ended up in the hospital!"

"Wow! Brother! Can you go beat him up again for me?"

"Huh? Why? He was quite nice to you, wasn't he?"

"He killed my friend Sauron."

"Sigh~ This is a big secret, you absolutely cannot tell anyone. Actually, Kuzan just froze Sauron for a day. He'll probably wake up tomorrow. He's just sent him back to his giant homeland."

Over the past few days of sailing back, Robin gradually emerged from her sadness. The soldiers on the warship treated her very well. When she was training her Devil Fruit abilities, no one looked at her with fear or disgust; instead, they praised her for being amazing.

She finally displayed the innocence and romance befitting a child, and her cheerful laughter filled the entire warship.

Kuzan would come over every day to chat with Mo Xingchen, though he mostly came to see Robin. The two of them had become friends through their frequent interactions.

Mo Xingchen and Kuzan drank iced beer, lounging in chairs and watching Robin frolic on the ice rink Kuzan had created with his abilities. They clinked their glasses, revealing knowing smiles.

Upon finally arriving at Marineford, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the other Vice Admirals went to Admiral Sengoku's office to report. Mo Xingchen, however, decided to slack off. Since his report wouldn't be missed, he took little Robin and headed towards Dragon's house.

As soon as he entered, he found Garp and Dragon sitting on the sofa with grim expressions, a heavy atmosphere filling the entire living room.
