Who was Nico Robin?
She was the sole survivor of the Ohara Incident, the only person in the world who could read the Ancient Script, and the key to unraveling the mystery of that lost century!
The World Government had placed a bounty of 79 million Beli on her when she was just eight years old. That alone showed how much it feared her existence. In a sense, that was no less remarkable than the ten-billion-Beli bounty Loa now commanded!
And now Ice Dragon Loa was with her. Did that mean he had taken an interest in the Poneglyphs too?
For any organization or faction, that was bad news.
The factions guarding Poneglyphs in particular had swiftly drawn in their forces after hearing the news, hoping to keep Loa from seizing them. Deep down, they knew it would only give them peace of mind.
As it happened, their guess was right.
But Loa had the advantage of knowing the story's original plot, so he had no intention of stealing anyone else's Poneglyphs. That would be too troublesome, and it didn't suit him. Instead, he was after the Poneglyphs that had appeared in the original story but whose locations remained unknown, such as the one on Sky Island...
The original story had made it clear that it recorded the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. Robin, however, knew nothing about that.
He was going to search anyway, so why not take a look?
Besides, there was all that gold on Sky Island to bring back!
Being dead didn't mean they had no need for money. Armor was one thing; if an arm broke off, Crocodile or Loa could reattach it. Weapons, though, cost cold, hard cash.
Turtle Island was also undergoing massive development. Ratchet needed a great deal of Beli to
