Cautious Nico Robin, Human Nature Is Complex!

"Keep thinking."

Sanji stared at Caesar and said, "We need to know where he is."

Knowing that the other person hasn't taken their medication isn't enough; you also need to know where they are.

That way... they can go over there and check if the other person is dead or alive.

Upon hearing Kin'emon's smile faded, and he expressionlessly pushed the knife forward slightly.

His expression seemed to say: You better explain yourself clearly, or my knife won't be so sharp!

Caesar:!!!

Are all the people in Wano Country out of their minds?!

Can't we just talk things out? Why do we have to resort to violence?!

However, to avoid being shut down, Caesar chose to follow his heart.

Of course, this isn't cowardice; it's simply a necessary measure to survive!

After silently convincing himself of this idea, Caesar said, "I remember my men reported something."

After speaking, Caesar paused, recalling what the others had told him earlier, and said, "That brat named Momonosuke once sneaked into the secret room."

Upon hearing this, Kin'emon's eyes immediately lit up.

"So, he's in that room?!"

"No," Caesar shook his head and said, "There was no trace of him in that secret room. I checked it when I went to control the building later."

He was certain of that.

"No?" Kin'emon was taken aback, then snapped angrily, "Are you lying to me?"

Is this bastard planning to do something with Momonosuke's life?

"There are definitely no children in that place," Usopp said. "I've been there."

He had searched for Sea Stone in that place, so he knew exactly what the rooms there looked like, and could naturally confirm that there were no children there.

Kin'emon fell silent upon hearing Usopp's words. Nothing?

Does that mean...?

"Now you believe me, right?" Caesar said speechlessly.

Kin'emon didn't speak, but simply watched Caesar in silence.

Caesar, feeling a little uneasy under Kin'emon, immediately racked his brains before saying, "That's right, I've thought of a possibility!"

"Explain!"

"Although there's no trace of your son in the secret room, I've thought of a place," Caesar said.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope reappeared in Kin'emon's eyes.

Could we have found the young master?

"Where?"

"Scrapyard."

"Scrapyard?"

Kin'emon was taken aback. What Scrapyard?

Why did Momonosuke go to the Scrapyard?

"That's right, it's the Scrapyard." Caesar nodded and said, "There's a place in the secret room that leads directly to the underground Scrapyard of the research institute."

"If the Scrapyard remains intact, your son might survive."

Of course, it's only a possibility.

If you're unlucky, you'll still get blown up.

"Great!" Kin'emon exclaimed. "I'll go check out that Scrapyard right now!"

I just hope the young master is still alive...

No, the young master must still be alive!

As he pondered this, Kin'emon sheathed his sword.

Caesar breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wasn't threatened by this madman anymore...

"Hey, Straw Hat!" Caesar glanced at Luffy and said, "Keep this madman away from me!"

He didn't want to experience that feeling of being threatened again!

Unfortunately, Luffy ignored him completely, not even giving him a glance.

Caesar:...

Ignore...

That wretched Straw Hat!

"Yohohohoho~"

"I'll go with you," Brook said with a smile.

It's much easier for two people to search together than for one person to search alone.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Corpse."

"You're too kind, Mr. Kin'emon," Brook said with a smile.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, there's no harm in going out and helping out by looking for someone.

"Then let's take Merry with us," Sanji said. "With her there, you'll get to the research facility quickly, and her abilities will also help you lift the wreckage."

Merry's Wind Force is quite formidable, making her a perfect fit to go with Brook and the others to rescue people.

"That little girl?"

Turning his head to glance at Merry, who was floating in mid-air watching the children, Kin'emon said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

With that girl around, it would certainly be more convenient.

Sanji nodded, then called out to Merry in the distance, "Merry, come here for a second."

"Um?"

Merry, who was chatting with Mocha, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then flew over with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

After saying that, she glanced at Caesar again; that guy had been screaming terribly just now... Could it be because of him?

"There's something I need to ask you."

"Go ahead," Merry said with a smile, "What do you need me to do?"

She really enjoyed the feeling of being needed by her friends.

"We've obtained information on Kin'emon's son's location," Sanji said, pointing to the research institute behind them. "So we need you to take him and Brook over there to look for him."

"No problem."

Merry accepted Sanji's request without hesitation; it was not a difficult task for her.

"Let's go then," Kin'emon said quickly. "Get there as fast as you can!"

He desperately wants to see Momonosuke right now!

"No problem~"

Merry smiled, then used her power to lift the three of them up.

Seeing this, Nico Robin, who had been silent until now, thought for a moment, then turned to Zoro and said, "Zoro, please go with Merry and the others too."

"I?"

Zoro was taken aback. Why did he have to go along too?

"Kin'emon's condition just now was quite concerning," Nico Robin said.

Having lived in the Underworld for twenty years, I understand human nature very well.

If Kin'emon's son really dies, no one knows what he might do.

So... it would be best to have Zoro go along.

Zoro didn't answer, but instead turned to look at Kin'emon, recalling Kin'emon's previous state.

Then he said, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Zoro walked towards Merry, expressing to Merry that he wanted to go with her.

Merry wasn't surprised and easily used her ability to catch Zoro.

The three then quickly flew away into the distance.

Nico Robin watched the three leave, thinking to herself, 'Although the chances aren't high,... for my friends' safety, I can't gamble.'

After all... they weren't particularly familiar with this samurai, were they?

"Hopefully they can find that kid named Momonosuke," Usopp said. "Otherwise, Kin'emon might go crazy."

He remembered exactly how the other person had looked just now.

"Crazy?"

Caesar paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Then you absolutely cannot let him get near me again, or he will definitely kill me!"

Although he didn't directly attack the boy named Momonosuke, the boy had come here because of him.

Therefore... he has to be careful.

"Then you'd better pray he finds his son," Usopp scoffed.

Otherwise, that guy might actually have drawn his sword and killed Caesar.

Sanji, meanwhile, frowned and stared in the direction the others had gone.

'If Kin'emon's son really dies, then...'

As if he had just considered a possibility, Sanji sighed silently.

He didn't want to get into a conflict with this samurai if he could.

But... Caesar absolutely cannot die.

Forget about that for now, let's talk about it when he gets back.

After shaking his head, Sanji turned and walked to the side, saying, "Usopp, come and help."

"No problem!"

Usopp chuckled and followed Sanji to a pile of wood and ingredients, asking, "What can I do for you?"

"Help me..."

After glancing at the two who had started working, Luffy couldn't help but drool.

"Okama Cuisine..."

I don't even know what it tastes like.

Touching his rumbling stomach, Luffy's face lit up with anticipation.

This time, he's determined to eat his fill!

While thinking about this, Luffy moved closer to Sanji and squatted down to wait.

Sanji:???

"What are you doing?" Sanji looked at Luffy warily and said, "The food isn't ready yet, you can't steal any ingredients!"

Although Luffy can eat raw meat without any problems, it's not cooked food, so he won't allow Luffy to do that!

"Okay, okay, I won't steal any food."

"Slurp~"

Sanji:...

Could you please wipe your drool before saying that?

Forget it, I can't be bothered with this idiot.

After shaking his head, Sanji began to busy himself in front of the huge stove.

This time, he's going to let everyone taste the delicious Okama Cuisine!

"Where did those guys go?" Nami asked, staring in the direction Merry had gone.

"Maybe he went to find Kin'emon's son," Perona said uncertainly.

After all, that guy had been saying all along that he wanted to find his son.

"Looking for your son...?"

Nami suddenly realized, no wonder they went there.

But... after experiencing such a terrifying explosion, can that kid really survive?

Having thought of this, Nami revealed her thoughts.

"Who knows?" Xi Yan said, "But judging from their appearance, it seems like that's a possibility."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone straight to the research institute after interrogating Caesar.

This time, Nami simply nodded and said nothing more.

Then Nami said, "Once the treatment is over, these children will be free from the poison's control, right?"

Hearing Nami's words, Perona smiled, clearly happy for the children.

Luo simply said calmly, "As long as the surgery goes smoothly, there won't be any problems."

However, given his abilities, completing this surgery shouldn't be a problem.

"I understand," Nami nodded.

Chopper replied earnestly, "Let me assist you."

Although he didn't know how Luo planned to treat these children, as a doctor, he was sure he could help, so he decided to go in with him to take a look!

"No," Luo refused without hesitation, "No one is allowed to enter during my treatment!"

Chopper:???

Chopper looked at Law with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding why the other party had rejected him.

But Law had no intention of explaining to Chopper and turned to walk towards the huge house behind him, which infuriated Chopper.

"Damn it, why won't they let me go?" Chopper complained.

He's a doctor too!

"Perhaps Luo's treatment methods are rather unique," Xi Yan guessed.

As he spoke, Xi Yan recalled Law's Devil Fruit ability again, wondering if the other party planned to cut the children's bodies open first and then remove the toxins.

He felt that this possibility was not low, otherwise the other party would not have said such a thing.

Just then, Nami said, "Hey, you guys, look! What's that bird in the sky?"

"Bird?"

Chopper, who was still angry, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"It really is! There really is a big bird in the sky!"

Following the other person's gaze, Xi Yan frowned subconsciously and said, "That doesn't look like a bird at all..."

Sharinggan, activate!

The next moment, Xi Yan, whose perception had been greatly enhanced, immediately recognized what was in the sky.

"No, that's not a bird!" Xi Yan stared at Buffalo's appearance and said, "That's a person!"

"A person with a rotating object on their body!"

Upon hearing this, Luo immediately stopped in his tracks, then abruptly looked up at the sky and said, "Hey, Mr. Sunglasses, are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Xi Yan nodded and said.

After saying that, Xi Yan noticed Baby 5 standing behind Buffalo, and continued, "Oh, right, there's also a woman dressed as a maid standing behind that person."

"I think I know who they are."

"Who is it?" Perona asked quickly.

"They are the Joker's subordinates."

"So... these are the enemies!"

As if she had just remembered something, a smile appeared on Perona's face.

She was really angry just now.

Now I can finally vent!

"They are indeed enemies," Luo said, squinting. "You can handle them, right?"

"Of course, no problem."

Perona grinned and said, "Leave it to us."

"Good."

Luo nodded, then turned and continued walking towards the house, but stopped just before entering.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo said, "But remember to spare their lives."

"What's the meaning?"

"I'm planning to use them for something," Luo said.

"That depends on their luck," Perona said.

If you're unlucky enough to get blown up by her, don't blame her!

This time, Luo didn't say anything more, just nodded and left.

Perona didn't seem to care, and instead turned and walked away with a smile, clearly intending to meet those two guys.

Seeing this, Xi Yan followed, but when he saw that Nami and Chopper hadn't moved, he turned to look at them and said, "Aren't you two going?"

"Someone has to protect us here," Nami said.

"That's right."

Chopper nodded in agreement and said, "That's why I'm planning to stay too!"

Although Luo wouldn't let him go inside to see what was going on, there was no problem with him staying there to protect the house.

At the very least, he couldn't let the fighting interfere with Law's treatment.

Upon hearing their words, Xi Yan's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Aren't these two underestimating his Wood Style abilities?

You have to understand, he released a tremendous amount of Chakra when he built this house...

However, since these two insisted, he couldn't say anything more.

"Then you can stay here," Xi Yan said. "I'll go check out the situation."

"Profound!"
