She was filled with suspicion, wondering if this mysterious powerful figure was World Government intelligence agency or a top-tier pursuer sent by the Navy to capture her!
Seeing Robin's alarmed and frightened expression, Uchiha Xin's smile deepened.
He made no attempt to conceal his identity and openly revealed it.
He made no attempt to conceal his identity and openly revealed the name Uchiha Xin.
The moment those four simple words were uttered, the air seemed to freeze instantly.
Uchiha Xin looked directly into Robin's wary eyes and stated his attitude bluntly.
"Don't be so nervous. I am neither a member of the Navy nor a lackey of the World Government."
I have absolutely no interest in your paltry bounty of 79 million Beli.
He slowly took a step forward, his eyes domineering and resolute, extending a straightforward invitation to this genius intelligence strategist who had been in exile for twenty years.
I've come to see you today for only one purpose.
"Follow me."
Uchiha Xin's voice was calm, yet it exuded an absolute confidence that transcended all things in the world, and he made a promise on the spot.
"Be my subordinate, and manage intelligence and shipping routes for me."
"In return, I promise to protect you. From this day forward, on this vast ocean, neither the World Government nor the Marine Headquarters will be able to lay a finger on you."
This extremely domineering recruitment and promise echoed slowly in the silent canyon.
Upon hearing this, Robin was struck dumb, standing there in utter astonishment.
Upon hearing this, Robin was struck dumb, standing frozen in shock, and exclaimed in disbelief that the other person was Uchiha Xin.
She had already heard of its formidable reputation for recently creating towering waves on the sea!
This is the man before us who seized Hawk Eyes's Black Blade Yoru, in the Florian Triangle and single-handedly killed Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai!
Just a few days ago, it even swiftly defeated Admiral Chaton, a candidate for Admiral, in the East Blue.
It intimidated the entire Marine Headquarters, leaving Fleet Admiral Sengoku with no choice but to compromise and back down!
Robin knew that the seemingly young man before him was undoubtedly the most mysterious and terrifying supreme powerhouse in this vast ocean recently!
However, after the initial shock, a deep sense of wariness and distance still lingered in Robin's beautiful eyes.
She spent twenty years in exile on this cannibalistic sea, starting when Ohara was destroyed when she was eight.
She had witnessed too many false promises and experienced countless betrayals and treachery. By nature cautious and suspicious, she was accustomed to arming herself with indifference and defensiveness.
Despite the sudden offer of recruitment from the strongest being on the high seas, she still politely declined, unwilling to easily submit to others.
Thank you for your high regard.
Robin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding and fear in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and answered in a calm but firm tone.
"It's just that I'm used to being free and easy, and I'm doing very well at Baroque Works right now, so I have no plans to move elsewhere and live under someone else's roof."
She rejected the temptation that could have protected her for life, unwilling to surrender her final fate.
They're betting on a mysterious powerhouse whose strength is despair-inducing and whose personality is completely unknown.
Faced with Robin's tactful yet firm refusal...
Uchiha Xin did not get angry, nor did he force the issue.
He simply stopped and gave her a deep, penetrating look.
That gaze seemed to pierce through all of Robin's pretense and vulnerability over the past twenty years, carrying an air of calm control over the entire situation.
You'll change your mind.
Uchiha Xin smiled and asserted with absolute certainty.
"Sooner or later, you will come to me willingly and agree to follow me."
After saying that, he didn't utter another unnecessary word.
Uchiha Xin turned around, his purple and gold robes fluttering in the sea breeze.
Then his figure transformed into a streak of light, and he turned and left with great ease.
Robin was left standing there, filled with doubt and confusion.
Whiskey Peak, the backyard of a secluded, dilapidated pub.
Princess Nefertari Vivi of Alabasta, who was using the alias Miss Wednesday, sat on a wooden crate with a worried expression.
Standing beside her was Igaram, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, who was also disguised as a bounty hunter.
The two were whispering and plotting how to obtain more information about Mr. 0, the owner of Baroque Works.
Just then...
A calm yet absolutely confident voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them, advising them not to waste their energy investigating.
A calm yet absolutely confident voice rang out behind the two of them without warning.
Vivi and Igaram shuddered violently, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Like cats whose tails had been stepped on, the two sprang up instantly, quickly turned around, and stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.
A young man dressed in a purple-gold imperial robe, with his hands casually in his pockets, was standing in the center of the backyard.
Uchiha Xin looked down at the girl with long, light blue hair and directly exposed her biggest secret.
Uchiha Xin looked down at the girl with long, light blue hair in front of him, directly revealing her identity as Princess Nefertari Vivi of Alabasta, and proposed a deal.
These words struck them like a bolt from the blue.
Vivi was shocked and took several steps back, questioning the other person about their identity and how they knew her background.
Igaram was on high alert, instantly pulling out a weapon hidden in his clothes and shielding Vivi tightly behind him, staring at Uchiha Xin with a wary expression.
Uchiha Xin completely ignored Igaram's hostility.
He looked directly at Vivi, his tone calm, yet he offered her a bait that Vivi simply couldn't refuse.
"I can help you completely eliminate that so-called Mr. 0, who is Crocodile."
"And while you're at it, completely quell that man-made Drought crisis in your Alabasta."
In exchange, you only need to pay the corresponding compensation.
Upon hearing this, Vivi was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with disbelief.
"Defeat Crocodile? Are you kidding me!" Vivi retorted loudly, her voice filled with deep despair and doubt.
"He's Shichibukai! He's a Logia Sand-Sand Fruit user!"
On this vast ocean, he is an invincible monster! No one can easily defeat him!
Having infiltrated Baroque Works for so long, Vivi is all too aware of Crocodile's terrifying strength.
The man before her, of unknown origin, dared to boast that he would completely eliminate the Crocodile, which sounded like a complete fantasy to her.
Faced with Vivi's questioning, Uchiha Xin didn't even bother to offer a single pointless explanation.
He slowly raised his right hand.
The Black Blade Yoru hanging at his waist was instantly drawn!
With a whoosh,
A chilling glint of light, like the shadows of night, suddenly flashed in the dilapidated backyard.
