Chapter 1278
About ten minutes later, the wooden door was gently pushed open, and the young Robin came out rubbing his eyes.
Xuan turned his head with a smile and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"
Robin shook his head and said, "I wake up at this time every day. If I get up late, I will be beaten by my aunt."
Xuan said silently, "No one will beat you here."
Robin showed a bright smile, "Brother Xuan, you are really a good person."
Touching his own face, Xuan didn't feel the joy of being praised at all, "Really, I was issued a good person card again for no reason."
"Okay, a new day has begun, come and have breakfast, Robin. Also, have you decided to stay here?" Xuan asked as he walked into the house.
With a serious look on Robin's face, he nodded heavily, "Let me stay, I won't live in vain, I can do housework, I can cook, and I can learn other things. Pay the corresponding labor."
Xuan turned back and smiled at her, "Equivalent exchange is a good habit, but here, you don't need it yet."
The first chapter forty-one constant melody
"Can you fish with a straight hook?" On the beach, Robin looked at the fishing rod in Xuan's hand suspiciously. She had clearly seen that the fishhook that Xuan threw out was a straight hook.
The sea is calm, Xuan smiled and said, "Don't think too much about the fish's IQ, do you want to try it?"
"Can I?" Robin blinked, and this is what she said the most since she came here.
Xuan didn't answer, stood up with a smile, and made a gesture of please.
Robin carefully sat in the position Xuan just held, holding the fishing rod in surprise, but at this moment she still doubted whether she could catch the fish.
Xuan pointed to her with a smile on the side, "You must be quiet, don't have distracting thoughts, listen to the sounds of the sea and nature, and blend in with the surroundings. I believe you can do it."
"It always feels so difficult!" Robin cried.
...
The days that followed were probably the happiest period of Robin’s life so far. Xuan built a small house for her next to his own wooden house. Robin also showed great enthusiasm for the magical scenes where the wood and stones moved by themselves. Because of some surprises, her peers clamored for Xuan to teach her this magical ability.
Xuan just smiled and asked her to catch the fish first, but she immediately put on a bitter face and stopped talking. At this time, she felt the same thoughts as Hawkeye did back then, thinking that Xuan must be playing tricks on herself.
But the child's temper is to forget in the blink of an eye. When Xuan asked several flowers to transform into human forms to play with her, all the unhappiness was forgotten in the blink of an eye.
From that day on, Robin never went back to his uncle's house. Under the healthy diet and happiness, the previous hunger and thinness quickly disappeared, and the embryonic form of a beautiful woman appeared.
Originally, Robin's genes were pretty good, and she had a beautiful mother, but because of the hard life in the past, depression and malnutrition, she looked like an ugly girl.
Even in the original book, before meeting Luffy, she lived a life of hiding in Tibet, and her daily life was not good, so she had a wheat-colored skin, which was proof of running around.
Later, in the two years after the war, she lived with peace of mind, and her skin naturally regained its whiteness and tenderness.
For Robin's disappearance, the people in the town didn't react at all. Even her uncle only complained a few words, or worried about how her sister would explain when she came back.
However, there was no news of his younger sister for so many years, and he had already tacitly accepted that Robin's mother had died in the sea, not to mention that he had never been kind to that younger sister, otherwise he would not have treated Robin like this.
Xuan also gave Robin the right to freely enter and exit the sea fog, all he needed to do was add a blessing to her, without any pressure at all. And the arrival of Robin did bring a brilliance to his life.
Sometimes Robin would go out to read in the library of the Tree of Omniscience, most of the time Xuan would not go with her, anyway, there is no danger on the island now, not to mention that with Xuan’s blessing, the whole pirate world collapsed She may be the only lucky one who survived.
Robin's talent for historical texts also showed, which immediately shocked the old man in the library, and tried every means to draw Robin into the archaeological world.
Xuan did not stop this, he always believed that people have the right to choose their own life path, since Robin likes it, he naturally has no reason to stop it. However, she also needs to face all kinds of difficulties in her future life because of this choice.
"Very well, after these few months, your heart has begun to calm down, maybe you will be able to catch fish in the near future." By the shore, Xuan smiled at Robin who was sitting in a state of tranquility.
Slightly sticking out his tongue, the fishing line felt the vibration and immediately swayed slightly, and the fish that had surrounded him immediately dissipated and scattered in all directions.
Robin doesn't care, this has happened countless times, and she usually just treats this kind of fishing as a game.
"Speaking of which, what's the use of this kind of fishing? If I want to eat fish, I can just grab it with my hands." Robin said, throwing the fishing rod aside.
After getting in touch with Xuan, she began to understand that her ability to have many arms is not a curse of the devil, but a devil fruit ability, which is very common in the sea.
Under Xuan's admonition, she also began to exercise this ability intentionally, and she was no longer afraid of showing strangeness as before.
"It's not as simple as fishing." Xuan smiled lightly and raised his hand, the fishing rod naturally flew into his hand, and by the way, a plump sea fish flew up with a straight hook, took the fish off and threw it behind him, A sunflower walking like a human quickly caught it, and quickly ran towards the wooden house not far away.
"Any power, if you want to fully control and exert it, you need corresponding control. There are many ways to improve your control, but the most useful is to cultivate your mind. You are doing a kind of practice now. When you grow up and meet When you are in danger, you will naturally understand." Xuan explained with a smile, the fishing rod had disappeared in his hand.
Robin showed a puzzled expression, "Will you encounter danger when you are around Nissan?"
Xuan shrugged, "I won't be by your side forever, Robin, you have to remember that there are many truths in this world, but there is only one, that is, you have to rely on yourself at all times, and there is nothing to be afraid of."
She showed a half-understanding expression, and quickly followed Xuan's figure.
...
During the time when Xuan lived in seclusion in O'Hara, the sea was not calm. The forces of all parties are on the bright side and in the dark, and the struggle will always be the same theme.
At the same time, the archaeologists in O'Hara were researching the lost hundred-year history and the world government found evidence. For such things, the world government has always preferred to kill the wrong one.
It's just that it hasn't reached the necessary time yet, but some orders have already begun to be issued secretly.
For the government in charge of the entire world, this is just a trivial matter, and their main target now is still the group of people from the Revolutionary Army. After previous contests, instead of suppressing the momentum of the revolutionary army, they made them expand even more.
On the other side, there is a new gathering place for pirates on the great waterway, where some newborn powerhouses appear.
Chapter 142: The Island of Chaos
Since the naval raid before Roger surrendered himself, the stubborn pirate gathering places such as Sin Island were wiped out in one fell swoop, which made it extremely difficult for pirates to find their own ports in the next two years.
However, this world has its own objective laws, as long as there is a demand, there will inevitably be a corresponding place.
Especially after the opening of the Great Channel, with the increase in the number of pirates, some ambitious pirates always want to make a career at sea, so new pirate ports reappear.
It's just that the size of the port this time can't be compared with that of the original Sin Island, and there is not only one place. In the past few years, several scattered new gathering places have established their reputations, attracting pirates who want to roam the sea. go.
The Island of Chaos is the most famous of the newly emerging islands.
Because it occupies the position in front of the great channel, it naturally has unique advantages. After arriving at the great channel, many pirates will naturally choose to come here to replenish and recruit new crew members.
Of course, there is no "island owner" here yet, nor does it belong to the sphere of influence of any big pirate. Chaos will inevitably arise, fists are the only way to reason, as long as you can prove your strength, you can become the most respected existence here.
However, there are not only pirates here, because of the lack of management, all kinds of characters can go to the island, bounty hunters, wanted criminals, notorious villains, revolutionary troops who hide their identities, and even navy spies or world government agents. Spies, as long as the existence you can imagine can be found here.
And just today, a small boat wobbled towards the shore. The boat looked very tattered. There were many water leaks in the wobble in the sea, and it kept sinking as it approached the port.
But the person standing at the bow didn't feel any anxiety at all. Instead, he looked at the island in front of him with a smile on his face, standing on the broken sail of the boat, half of the hull was filled with sea water below.
The boat docked, just enough to submerge the entire hull, and the red-haired young man straightened his straw hat and stepped onto the deck. Looking up at the chaotic island, he grinned with a heartfelt smile.
