After a moment, Robin finally spoke and asked:

"In other words, you don't want other forces to know the contents of the Poneglyph, so I, as a historian, must be under your control."

"That's right. Even if I don't need those so-called Ancient Weapon, I don't want my enemies to obtain them, and you are one of the keys to unlocking those Ancient Weapon."

"I understand, but I'd like to know, wouldn't it be safer to just kill them and cover it up?"

Noah smiled and shook his head, "You think too highly of yourself. You're not the only one who knows history. Most of Roger Pirates learned about the past at Laugh Tale, but they chose to wait for the so-called Child of Destiny. I'm not willing to wait. I've never believed in the so-called Child of Destiny."

"I see, Laugh Tale contains all of history." Robin Satori.

"You're wrong again. The history of Laugh Tale is just Joy Boy's perspective. People like to selectively write in their diaries, so this history is merely Joy Boy's viewpoint."

Noah flipped through the planetarium on his desk again. "The past is already set in stone, but the future holds infinite possibilities. If I accept the so-called chosen one, then wouldn't all my efforts be meaningless?"

"..." For the first time, Robin felt the terrifying aura emanating from Noah, especially his ambition and determination to change the world.

"If you want to overturn the entire world, what kind of world do you intend to create?"

Noah took out the " Five Volumes on Slaying Dragons " and some other books. "This is the world I envisioned. Even if I am shattered to pieces, my will will be forever imprinted on the history of civilization in this world."

After saying that, Noah waved his hand and said, " Kuro, arrange a room for Miss Robin."

"Leave it to me, Lord Noah." Kuro nodded respectfully.

Despite having a lot of questions, Robin still left with a large pile of Kuro.

After settling Robin into her cabin, Kuro gave her some clothes and personal items, then left.

Inside the room.

After hastily eating a bento box, Robin couldn't wait to open the books Noah had given her, especially the set called " The Five Volumes on Slaying Dragons ".

Night fell before we knew it.

However, Robin was still reading late into the night in her room. After finishing two books, she was deeply moved.

Early the next morning, Kuro brought over a breakfast.

"Miss Robin, while studying is important, you still need to take care of your health."

" Kuro." Robin, sporting panda eyes, looked exhausted, but her eyes shone brightly.

Kuro knew the other person hadn't listened, but he didn't continue speaking. Instead, he quietly took his leave.

Five days later.

The Prosperity returned to its secret base on York Island.

Robin, who had just disembarked from the ship, had undergone a tremendous change in spirit. If she had been filled with confusion and fear before, she now seemed to have seen through the strange and wonderful world.

When they met Noah again.

Robin's previous anxiety had vanished, replaced by admiration. "Mr. Noah, York Island seems to be the Capone Family's stronghold, right?"

"Yes, I've already modified him."

"It's been modified?"

"It's just the application of a Devil Fruit ability. For those who are notorious but also quite powerful, I'll transform them into Card Apostle, like this one..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Apostle Shiki transformed from his card form into his human form.

Robin's gaze sharpened. " Golden Lion Shiki?"

"Young lady, I am Golden Lion Shiki, and also Apostle of my lord. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Looking at the legendary pirate before her, Robin finally understood why Noah had such an ideal of overthrowing the world. "I'm increasingly looking forward to Mr. Noah's New World."

"You will see it, but you are too weak. The enemies we will face in the future are very powerful. If you are not strong enough, you may fall before Dawn," Noah warned.

Robin nodded. "I understand. Then please train me, Mr. Noah!"

If it were the old her, she definitely wouldn't be so keen on improving her strength, because the Poneglyph were her obsession, and Aokiji had left her with an insurmountable shadow.

However, she is now much less obsessed with the Poneglyph and no longer fears the Navy and the World Government. She believes that increasing her strength is absolutely necessary.

" Kuro will teach you physical skills for a while, and I will guide you to rethink the development of your Devil Fruit."

"Developing Devil Fruit?" Robin knew that her fruit was the Flower-Flower Fruit, and its potential was very weak.

Seeing her expression, Noah knew that Robin thought his Devil Fruit ability was mediocre, "Although you have a wealth of knowledge, your development of Devil Fruit abilities is quite average, a waste of this fruit."

"Uh... I'm really sorry then," Robin said, half-jokingly.

" The Flower-Flower Fruit's power is a combination of superpower and superhuman ability. You can create flower organs outside your body, and these external organs are connected to your senses, right?"

"Yes." Robin nodded.

"Then why did you expose your identity so easily?"

"What?" Robin was completely baffled by Noah's sudden question.

"That's why I said you've wasted this fruit. You could bloom on your own face, using the skin of the flower to change your appearance, even your body shape."

After hearing this, Robin tried it out, and sure enough, after covering his face with a layer of skin, his appearance changed somewhat.

Noah released a full-length mirror. "You can sculpt a completely new face."

In no time, Robin's face changed completely; unless a stranger was very familiar with her figure, it would be difficult to see through this disguise.

"Disguise is just a small application of the Flower-Flower Fruit. The Flower-Flower Fruit grants you the ability to create flower organs from a distance. If your physical strength and martial arts skills are strong enough, like this..."

Noah's fingers, now jet black, instantly plunged into the rock in front of him.

"As long as your physical skills and Haki are strong enough, any target that appears within your Observation Haki range will find it difficult to escape your assassination."

Robin poked the rock in front of him with his finger and found that his finger was a little sore.

"The next application area is the third one, and it's the foundation of your future strength: exoskeleton development."

"You need to mimic the exoskeleton of insects, creating an exoskeleton and specialized organs on your body surface, thereby altering the physiological weaknesses of women."

Under Noah's guidance, Robin tried, albeit haltingly.

Initially, the exoskeleton she generated was bizarre and not only failed to increase her strength, but also restricted her physical movement.

However, Noah reminded her that combining the exoskeleton structure of insects with the structure of the human body was crucial for the rapid progress of its development.

She quickly developed her first exoskeleton armor: Ant King 1.0.

This is the result of Robin dissecting hundreds of ants under a microscope.

After entering Ant King Mode, her power increased dozens of times, but the duration was very short, only about ten minutes.

Noah knew that this was the result of Robin rigidly imitating the structure of ants, and that she would definitely need to make continuous adjustments based on her own body in order to achieve a long-term exoskeleton mode.
