Finding Robin

"..."

Seemingly surprised that Aokiji would suddenly say such a thing, Nico Olvia was also stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, she smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

However, I felt relieved.

Since the Marine Admiral in front of us has said so...

That means Robin is at least not in danger.

Nico Olvia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So... how is she now?"

"Well, things haven't been going very well, and this started when Ohara was destroyed."

Aokiji sighed.

There was no intention to hide anything.

He directly told Nico Olvia about Robin's experiences over the years. Even as her protector who existed in the shadows, he didn't know the details very well, but he had a general idea.

Nico Olvia's face was full of sadness.

Especially after hearing that Robin had encountered danger several times and almost lost her life, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.

Nico Olvia remained stunned for a long time after Aokiji finished explaining.

After a while.

Under Aokiji's somewhat surprised gaze, Nico Olvia nodded at him.

Thank you so much.

"No."

Aokiji immediately shook his head; he dared not accept Nico Olvia's gratitude so readily, after all...

"I have no reason to be thanked by you, after all, I was Marine Vice Admiral when the Buster Call was launched."

Aokiji said this in silence.

What happened next needs no explanation.

He was also one of the executors of the destruction of Ohara!

Even though Nico Robin has been spared, and it is now known that the scholars of Ohara are still alive, this does not mean that the past can be wiped clean.

Aokiji was fully aware of this.

"..."

Nico Olvia also fell silent.

This is probably an unsolvable problem.

Soon enough, the clever woman stopped talking about the topic and turned her attention to Lin Yan.

"So you've come to find me now to take me with you to find Robin, right?"

Nico Olvia asked with some anticipation.

Although she seemed to try her best to keep her tone calm, the longing and joy in her voice were impossible to hide.

This is only natural.

God knows how long she had been waiting for this day.

When Lin Yan left, she said that if she didn't do this, Robin might not be safe, so Nico Olvia forced herself to keep her promise despite her longing.

But we don't need to anymore, right?

That is indeed the case.

Facing Nico Olvia's expectant gaze, Lin Yan smiled and nodded.

"That's right, that's why we're here. After all, you've heard it yourself, Robin is very wary of everyone now. Even if I reveal my identity, she probably won't believe me."

Lin Yan said with a hint of helplessness.

Then he looked straight at Nico Olvia in front of him.

"But if you were to step in, Robin would definitely believe you."

"I understand, I'll go with you!"

For Nico Olvia, this was probably a question that didn't even need to be considered, so the woman nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation.

Even if her daughter resents her after they meet, she doesn't care.

Nico Olvia was already prepared for this.

"That's good, and then..."

Seeing the determined look in Nico Olvia's eyes, Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction. Just as she was about to say something more, the door was pushed open.

Dr. Clover looked delighted.

He had already led a large group of scholars to stand outside the door.

Seeing that all three people in the room were looking over, Dr. Clover smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh... did I interrupt your conversation? I couldn't stop you..."

Dr. Clover smiled wryly.

As an old man, he ultimately underestimated the extent of these scholars' admiration for Lin Yan.

Upon hearing that the important person had returned, everyone abandoned their jobs without hesitation and rushed over.

There's no way to stop it!

"That sir is the fifth emperor!"

"So that's how it is! No wonder they were able to save us!"

"Reasonable!"

"Thank you so much, otherwise we would probably all be dead..."

"Lady Lin Yan, I want to have your babies!"

The scholars looked at Lin Yan with fervent admiration, their eyes filled with worship.

This is only natural.

Lin Yan is like a benefactor to Ohara, something everyone understands from the bottom of their hearts, so their current fervor is only natural.

But could something strange have gotten mixed in?

Never mind... it's not important.

Looking at the large group of scholars in front of her, Lin Yan stood up helplessly, having finally managed to calm down these enthusiastic fans.

However, when they looked back, Aokiji and Nico Olvia had already left.

It seems they've gone to exchange information about Robin.

Lin Yan also expressed her understanding.

After all, Nico Olvia hadn't seen Robin for a long time, so it's understandable that she was a little anxious.

As for Aokiji...

That guy was simply atoning for his sins.

Thinking it over, Lin Yan didn't intend to disturb them and simply went back to rest on her own.

Then evening came quickly.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yan walked out of Dr. Clover's room, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Nico Olvia sitting on the rocks by the sea, lost in thought.

"..."

After a slight hesitation, Lin Yan slowly walked forward and, just like before, sat down next to Nico Olvia.

What are you thinking about?

"Isn't this just common sense...?"

Nico Olvia sighed softly.

"I heard from Kuzan that Robin has had a very hard time these past few years, much harder than I imagined... Do you think she'll hate me if she sees me again?"

Nico Olvia said this with a touch of sadness.

After all, she had already pushed Robin away twice.

Lin Yan pulled him back one time.

The other instance has continued to this day.

It was a last resort.

But Nico Olvia was still filled with guilt and disappointment.

However, seeing Nico Olvia like this, Lin Yan smiled gently and patted the woman's shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't worry, Robin will understand you after she knows the truth... After all, you're the person she loves most."
