Go Straight to Robin

"In the tavern up ahead." Spandine said, "I, Spandine, was afraid she might run, so I kept watch on her day and night without rest. That woman comes to this tavern every day and reads there with a book in hand, pretending she isn't interested in the news about the Poneglyphs we're guarding.

If I, Saint Sanming, tell her that her crimes can be forgiven, she'll obey me, won't she?"

Spandine's eyes lit up. Saint Sanming actually agreed with his son—this was truly a
