"Those navy guys have stopped chasing us!"
"Hmm..."*5
"Didn't we escape?"
"Hmm..."*5
"What do you mean by giving such a weak and listless reply?"
"I'm so lonely!" *5
"Stop crying and whining! If you're so reluctant to part with her, why don't you just force her onto the ship?"
"Barbarian!"
"Terrible!"
" Moss Head!"
" Three-Sword Style!"
"Wait! Luffy! 'Three-Sword Style' isn't an insult."
"Four-Sword Style!"
"Adding another cut won't change anything!"
Having escaped the navy's pursuit, the Going Merry no longer needs human control; it can simply sail along its course.
But without Vivi, a partner they'd spent some time with, apart from Zoro, who was the rational one, the other emotional people felt something was missing, and they had no motivation to do anything!
They were just feeling lonely, and were somewhat indifferent to what Zoro was saying. They were still stuck in their sadness and disappointment, and even Zoro's rational words sounded harsh to them, so they started cursing.
"Crunch"
"It seems we've finally left the island!"
"Um!"
Just as Zoro was about to leave, scratching his head in exasperation at these idiots, he heard the sound of a door opening and a woman's voice behind him.
Zoro subconsciously hummed in response. He hadn't yet realized that the person speaking wasn't his companion, and that the woman who had spoken was slowly walking out of the cabin.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Robin spoke again, and Zoro finally realized something was wrong. He turned around and his expression changed drastically. Wasn't this Crocodile's partner from the Seven Warlords of the Sea? What was he doing on the Going Merry?
Zoro instantly became alert, his hand already on the Wado Ichimonji, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the woman before him at any moment.
The others, who were a bit slow to react, also became excited upon seeing Robin's face. However, they all lost their composure and bumped their heads on the railings above the cabin. But they didn't care about the pain in their heads at that moment, and quickly pulled their heads away from the woman below.
"Are you seeking revenge for the organization? I'll be your opponent!"
Zoro gripped his sword, his face wary, as if he would Sword-Drawing Slash at her in the next instant if the woman's answer did not satisfy him.
Why are you here?
Nami clutched the large bump on her head, her face filled with fear as she asked, "Although Nami has some strength now, she wouldn't last a single round against Devil Fruit User like Robin. She could just have long arms binding you up like that! Who could stand that?"
Robin's appearance threw the Straw Hat Pirates into a frenzy for a moment, especially Chopper, who ran around in fear. However, the others quickly regained their composure and subtly surrounded the woman who had suddenly appeared.
Nami pulled out a stick from somewhere, and Zoro drew his sword, pointing it at the woman in front of him. Luffy also surrounded them, but didn't make any move to attack. Usopp, though trembling with fear, stood not far from Robin, forming an encirclement with the others.
Who is this?
"It doesn't matter who it is, you're such a beautiful older sister!"
Chopper had never actually met Robin; he just saw the others looking scared and started to feel scared too.
Sanji simply stood aside, not intending to intervene, and even admired Robin with hearts in his eyes, as if he was about to rush over and become Robin's dog at any moment.
"Don't point that dangerous thing at me! I already told you that!"
Robin took two steps, then activated the Flower-Flower Fruit's power, Nami and Zoro to each grow a hand from their chests. She knocked the weapons out of their hands and then gave them a soft warning.
When did you board the ship?
"I've been here the whole time! These are your clothes, right? Let me borrow them for a bit."
"What exactly do you want, Baroque Works?!"
Nami was very concerned about when Robin boarded the ship. They had been desperately trying to escape, and if Robin had intervened then, they would have been wiped out. This made her very scared.
I'm also puzzled as to why Robin is on the Going Merry. What exactly is the vice president of Baroque Works up to?
" Monkey D. Luffy! You haven't forgotten what happened between us, have you?"
"Hey! Luffy! What have you done to that pretty lady?! Tell me! I'm asking you what you've done, you bastard!"
Upon hearing Robin's words, Sanji immediately grabbed Luffy's collar, pounding his chest and looking heartbroken as he asked, "I hate that I'm the one who had something happen with Robin."
Robin's words were too ambiguous. Sanji looked furious and frustrated at being unable to take her place, Luffy looked completely bewildered. "What did I do to her? When did I do it? I can't remember at all!"
Regardless of what the two were thinking, Robin carried the folding chair and walked towards the foredeck of the pirate ship. So far, she had not shown any hostility, carried no weapons, or made any defensive gestures. She simply moved around the ship naturally, as if she were one of their own.
"Hey! Don't lie! I didn't do anything!"
Luffy said, somewhat aggrieved and angry, that he racked his brains but couldn't figure out what he had done. In his understanding, he hadn't done anything bad, so how did he become a bad person?
"Really? What happened between us needs some time to explain!"
"You're such an incomprehensible person! What do you want me to do?"
Let me be your partner!
Robin's words are still quite ambiguous, but if Luffy is smart enough, he'll understand what Robin meant.
But Sanji was even more enraged, grabbing Luffy and asking something with fiery eyes. Chopper, clinging to the mast, was extremely curious: who exactly was this human female creature sitting in the folding chair?
Usopp was still using a megaphone to tell Robin to disembark, but his voice wasn't very loud. When Luffy finally asked what he wanted to do with her, Robin took the opportunity to reveal her purpose.
Luffy knew he owed Robin two lives, and if there was anything Robin needed him to do, he would find it very difficult to refuse. When Robin expressed her thoughts, the entire Going Merry instantly fell silent!
Who is Robin? Putting aside her identity Devil Child, Straw Hat Pirates is unaware of, her status as the vice president of Baroque Works alone makes her a clear villain. Now, this villain wants to join the Straw Hat Pirates? That's simply a fantasy! Who would agree to such a request?
"You carried me out of the royal tomb, that's your crime. I have nowhere else to go, so let me stay on this ship!"
"What? I see. Well, then there's nothing we can do. Okay, fine!"
" Luffy!" *2
"Don't worry! This guy isn't a bad person!"
Robin had already prepared her explanation. Although it wasn't that she really had nowhere to go, she was more interested in the Straw Hat Pirates.
Luffy experienced many things in Alabasta that others had never experienced, so he naturally knew Robin's character and nature, and therefore agreed without hesitation.
However, Nami and Usopp, unaware of the hidden story, shouted his name directly, seemingly trying to awaken the last bit of truth, goodness, and beauty in Luffy's heart.
Zoro also looked at the two who were ignoring everyone else and continuing their conversation with a pained expression. He didn't know exactly what had happened between the two, but his intuition told him that the woman in front of him was dangerous and he absolutely couldn't let his guard down!
Sanji was overjoyed upon hearing Luffy's answer, practically bursting into champagne in celebration. With another beautiful young lady joining the crew, he almost thought All Blue was on the horizon!
Captain Luffy has made his decision, and no one else can change it. Captain Luffy is now on Robin's side; he acknowledges Robin!
She gave Chopper a gift and then teased her with the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, which completely won Chopper over. In addition, she tossed a bag of jewels to Nami, Nami soon started calling Robin" older sister."
Sanji doesn't need to do anything; he's even more steadfastly on Robin's side than Luffy. As for Zoro and Usopp, they're both relatively normal people and can't be dealt with in a short time, so we'll have to take it slow.
However, Robin has now officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates. Vic, who was invisible, showed a satisfied smile, then turned into Inazuma and left the Going Merry. He sensed another familiar face!
