What Kind of Person Would Even Think That?
[So many Poneglyph... They must be hoping to be deciphered, right?]
[Listen... it's the sound of the Poneglyph weeping...]
The flow of knowledge itself is meaningful!
From Robin's shadow came a constant stream of muttered murmurs.
However, Robin remained unmoved and resolutely refused to look at the Poneglyph in her mind!
Although Sig's focus has now shifted to the Magnet-Magnet Fruit and the Heavy-Heavy Fruit, he is still curious about the Poneglyph.
Part of it should verify the "Sun's Harmony" theory, another part will reveal other ancient secrets, and more importantly, there's the Poneglyph of Bilca —which should explain why the Moon person came to Earth, their plans to return to the Moon, and possibly even reveal the Moon person's stance eight hundred years ago...
However, Robin doesn't trust Sig now and refuses to look at the Poneglyph because she knows Sig can read her thoughts from her dreams, so she'd rather refrain from looking at them herself!
Sig isn't exactly a reasonable person; even if Robin doesn't want to watch, Sig could hypnotize her, right?
Even if Robin finds out later, it doesn't matter. As long as the Poneglyph are translated, the deed is done. What can Robin do if she knows she was hypnotized?
However, when Sig tried to hypnotize Robin, he unexpectedly discovered the strangeness of Robin's Devil Fruit ability...
The Flower-Flower Fruit, Paramecia Devil Fruit, is one that Robin happened to eat when she was a child. Because she was too young at the time, she doesn't remember the specifics of what happened.
The names of Flower-Flower Fruit are also the type that are difficult to interpret from their names.
The name was chosen because it borrows the extended meaning of "flower," suggesting that a "Flower person" can "branch out" like a flower or a plant, meaning they can grow extra organs...
Robin's development method involves growing multiple arms within sight, enabling her to easily capture opponents.
In the later stages of the original work, Robin's development still revolved around her "hands." When she was spying, eyes would grow from the palms of her extra hands. As for her wings, they were also made up of countless hands.
However, when eavesdropping, she can also sprout "ears," and in the Wano Country arc, she displayed a special move that directly "bloomed" into a gigantic "Giant Robin." In the end, Giant Robin even sprouted Devil features that shouldn't have appeared, such as bat wings and ram horns.
In other words, Robin most often uses her arms, but she can't only grow arms!
Passing by Sig's White Tower, which allowed him to revisit his memories, he recalled an SBS in the original work where Oda, in answering reader questions, mentioned something about the "Flower-Flower Fruit"—if a user of the Flower-Flower Fruit needed to urinate in the classroom, they didn't need to go to the toilet; they could simply bloom "that" in the toilet and urinate...
The power of the Flower person is evident from this—the organs that bloom still retain their original functions!
Just as Sig was about to hypnotize Robin "opened" an extra brain...
Sig:???
When Sig Oldest One discovered this scene, he was quite surprised, but Robin herself was unaware and seemed not to have done anything. Later, Sig also realized that this was not Robin intentionally activating her Devil Fruit ability, but more like an instinctive reaction!
The ability of the Flower person is to instinctively block, control, and alter Robin's thinking.
With an extra brain, Sig's hypnosis also landed on this blank brain, rendering it completely meaningless.
Even now, Sig's perception of Robin's extra emotions is very vague—the extra "brain" that has been generated is like a substitute, confusing Sig's perception.
Afterwards, Sig realized he had no chance to hypnotize her for the time being, and the Flower-Flower Fruit was more useful than he had imagined, especially... it was also a bit strange! So he took the opportunity to cling to Robin's shadow and more directly lured her to look at the ancient Poneglyph!
However, Robin's resolve was clearly much stronger than Sig had imagined; once she said she wouldn't watch, she simply wouldn't.
Seeing that Robin had already dressed and left the hot spring, heading straight back to her room as if she was going to rest.
Hey, can't you see me swaying? This isn't how your shadow should look!
[The Poneglyph inscription is within your consciousness; you can see it whenever you want...]
Robin completely ignored his own shadow, which was baring its teeth and claws, as if it were just an ordinary evening, like yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before that... just like when he had soaked in the hot spring and was preparing to rest!
Sig was at his wits' end with Robin's complete lack of persuasion.
After all, whether from a standpoint of position or from a personal grudge perspective, Robin was not Sig's enemy. Therefore, Sig did not want to use threats or other methods. After failing to hypnotize her, he kept trying to entice her.
But even if Robin is asleep, it won't help...
Robin had just closed her eyes and was keeping a close eye on her surroundings, sensed something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she found herself surrounded by Poneglyph —it seemed she was still in the room, but this was a dream, and the dream was filled with Poneglyph!
However, Robin ignored him, turned over and went back to sleep, only to find herself in another dream world, still filled with Poneglyph...
Robin simply lay down on the spot and continued sleeping...
One dream within another, but Robin just kept sleeping soundly. Sig had no choice but to appear in Robin's ninth dream, just as she was about to fall asleep again.
"Let's talk this over again, Devil Child," Sig said helplessly.
"Oh? What do you want to talk about, Demon Child?" Robin calmly retorted.
Sig:???
Upon realizing Robin's thoughts, Sig immediately corrected her, "Wait, are you misunderstanding something? Shadows don't have 'eyes.' My vision in the shadows comes from your vision!"
After a pause, Sig added, "And I didn't specifically connect with your vision until you were fully dressed!"
So she always thought he was taking advantage of her?
Sig was furious. Who on earth would think such a thing?!
Although she didn't understand what Sig was saying, Robin believed him to some extent because of his confident demeanor, and felt a little apologetic.
"You can read the Poneglyph, I have the Poneglyph, and we both want to know the Poneglyph ... so it's mutually beneficial, isn't it?" Sig wanted to renegotiate with Robin.
"However... dangerous knowledge should not fall into the hands of dangerous people," Robin emphasized.
"No, no, no, knowledge is innocent."
But you are not.
Sig:...
