Seeing Robin's slightly red eyes and the book he was clutching tightly in his arms,
A look of concern appeared on Saul's enormous face.
"What's wrong, little Robin? Did someone bully you again?"
Robin shook his head, then nodded slightly.
He walked over and sat down next to Saul, burying his face in his knees.
Saul awkwardly patted Robin's thin shoulder lightly with his huge fingers.
"Dere-shi-shi-shi, don't be sad, little Robin."
"You are different from them. You have remarkable abilities and a heart that seeks knowledge and truth."
In this world, many people are afraid of things they don't understand, but that doesn't mean they are wrong.
"But... they all say I'm a monster..." Robin's voice was muffled.
"Monster?"
Saul laughed.
"Little Robin, you're not a monster. Someone with this kind of ability..."
If this were on the open sea, it would be the envy of countless people!
"If you are a monster, then in their eyes, isn't I, this giant, also a monster?"
"Little Robin, the real monsters are those who hurt others with prejudice and violence."
It is those who want to erase history and truth in order to maintain so-called 'order'.
You, your mother, and the scholars in the Tree of Knowledge are doing something very brave and remarkable.
Robin's eyes dimmed slightly when his mother was mentioned.
Her mother, Nicole Olvia, sought the truth in the Poneglyph.
He's constantly traveling and has almost no time to spend with her.
She longed for maternal love, but also felt a hidden pride in her role as a mother.
Just as Saul was awkwardly comforting Robin,
As he tried to dispel the gloom in the little girl's heart with his limited vocabulary, an unexpected change occurred!
The distant horizon,
A dazzling rainbow of light, trailing a golden tail.
It streaked across the sky at unimaginable speed, hurtling towards Ohara!
"What is that?!"
Saul suddenly stood up, his massive body tensing, and looked warily at the sky.
Although his Observation Haki wasn't top-tier, he could still sense the immense energy contained within the rainbow light...
A sense of oppression that is both familiar and strange.
Robin looked up in surprise, forgetting her tears, and her eyes widened.
As the rainbow approached the sky above Ohara, its speed decreased sharply, and its radiance gradually diminished, revealing its true form.
"A... flying... ship?"
Saul gasped; he had fought on the seas for many years.
I've seen countless strange ships, but none quite like this one that can fly so smoothly and swiftly!
"Could it be... Golden Lion's power? No, something doesn't feel right..."
Under the astonished gazes of the two, the mysterious spaceship slowly adjusted its attitude and landed on the remote coastline where they were.
The hatch opened, and three figures jumped down in turn.
It was Roy, Tesoro, Bullet who had come from afar.
The three of them had just landed when
All eyes immediately fell on the dumbfounded Saul and Robin, who was hiding behind him, peeking out with only half her head showing.
Saul instantly shielded Robin behind him, his massive body leaning slightly forward in a defensive stance, his voice heavy and wary.
Who are you?! Why are you here?!
Although he was still recovering from his injuries, as a former Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, he still had good eyesight.
These three people,
The young man in black and the fierce-looking blond man, in particular, put him under immense pressure.
The burly man exuded an extremely fierce aura.
This is a lineup that no ordinary pirate group or force could possess.
Roy's gaze lingered for a moment on Saul's massive frame and distinctive features, a knowing glint in his eyes.
Then he looked at the little girl behind him, who was holding a book and had dark brown hair and bright eyes.
Nicole Robin is here, just as I expected.
Roy raised his hands in a harmless gesture and spoke calmly.
"Relax, sir, Giant Tribe. We mean no harm."
If I'm not mistaken, you are Haguval D. Saul, aren't you?
Saul's pupils contracted; the other person actually knew him?
His defection should still be classified!
Roy didn't wait for his answer and continued,
"We came to Ohara on someone's behalf; our purpose is to save people."
It seems we've arrived a little earlier than the expected 'guests'.
"Save them?"
Saul remains vigilant.
"Whom entrusted me with this task? Whom am I saving?"
"A friend who doesn't want the truth of history to be completely buried, nor does he want those who seek the truth to be ruthlessly erased."
Roy's answer was somewhat vague, but its direction was clear.
As for who to save...
"Naturally, it refers to the scholars on this island who are about to face annihilation."
Roy's gaze fell on little Robin again, his tone softening somewhat.
"Of course, that includes this child."
Robin trembled slightly upon hearing the words "scholar" and "catastrophic disaster," and clutched the book in his arms even tighter.
Saul's expression grew even more grim; Roy's words confirmed his worst fears—
World Government purge is likely imminent, and on a scale far exceeding his previous expectations!
Even such a group of mysterious and powerful individuals were alarmed and came to intervene?
"Who... who are you people?"
Saul asked in a deep voice, his hostility lessening slightly, but his doubts deepening.
Roy glanced at Bullet beside him, who was already fidgeting with his wrists with growing impatience.
Tesoro, who maintained his smile but whose eyes darted around, gave a concise reply.
" Roy Pirates. I'm Captain Roy."
" The Roy Pirates?!"
Saul's massive body jolted violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Although he had been hunting down Ohara's scholars abroad,
But as Vice Admiral,
I have heard of some events that shook the sea.
The rumors surrounding Sabaody, G-5 Base, the Enies Lobby incident, Impel Down all seem to point to this emerging pirate crew!
They actually showed up here?
And it was to save the scholars of Ohara?
Robin was somewhat frightened by the word "pirate crew" and shrank further behind Saul.
But her curiosity compelled her to secretly observe Roy and the other two.
They look... a bit different from the ruthless pirates in the stories?
"That's right."
Roy nodded, ignoring Saul's shock.
His Observation Haki had already faintly sensed some unusual commotion and anxiety coming from the direction of the island's center.
"Time is running out, Mr. Saul. The Navy... or rather, the World Government's fleet..."
It might arrive soon; we need to act immediately.
Roy looked at the little black boy, Robin.
"Little girl, has your mother, Nicole Olvia, returned to the island?"
