Alabasta Royal Tomb, Great Hall of Offerings.
Nico Robin buried her head in Sephiroth's chest. Only after quite a while did she realize how improper she was being and hurriedly pull away from his embrace.
Nico Robin raised her right hand and gently wiped away the tears welling in her eyes. She smiled and said,
"Now that the historical Poneglyph of the Alabasta Kingdom has been found, it seems my partnership with Crocodile should come to an end..."
"Would you like to work for me from now on?" Sephiroth asked with a smile.
If Nico Robin agreed, he planned to have her help him consolidate Umbrella Corporation's intelligence network...
That way, it would neither delay her search for historical Poneglyphs nor waste her talents, while allowing her to work for him. It would benefit both sides.
After all, if she wanted to gather the remaining two Road Poneglyphs, she would need an enormously vast intelligence network as well...
Upon hearing this, Nico Robin was somewhat tempted, but she still instinctively asked,
"Aren't you afraid the World Government will target you?"
Back then, a major reason Sephiroth had not taken her in was the threat posed by the World Government.
Over these years, Nico Robin had also fully experienced just how desperately the World Government wanted to capture her, an Ohara survivor capable of reading ancient writing!
For more than ten years, she had been investigating the whereabouts of the historical Poneglyphs, while the CP Organization had relentlessly pursued her.
The organizations and forces she had once joined would be noticed by the World Government within a year or two and then suffer devastating blows...
Therefore, Nico Robin had come to fully understand just how troublesome her existence was, so she did not want to cause trouble for Sephiroth, her benefactor.
