Chapter 459 Is a Naval Hero a Capable Person? 【Triple】

There was a moment of silence in the cafe, but most people were frightened by Luffy's suddenly extended arms, after all, there are not so many devil fruit abilities.

Especially in the rare and peaceful place of the great waterway like San Pobla, the number of pirates who come here is rare, and among the pirates, not every pirate group has devil fruit ability users.

Therefore, it is normal for them to be shocked. After all, in this kind of town, devil fruit ability users are like urban legends. Everyone says they exist, but no one has seen them.

However, Garp and Skyler subconsciously looked at Robin. Almost at the same time, both of them narrowed their eyes, carefully identifying Robin.

After escaping from Auraha, Robin felt that death was so close to him for the first time. In the past, even those pirates, mafia, and bounty hunters put knives or guns on him, and there was no such thing as death. Feel.

But Cap and Skyler, with just one look, did it.

‘It’s simply not a level of life! '

Robin suddenly had this feeling. If those who threatened his life with knives and guns in the past were people of his own kind, then Skyler and Garp at this moment are like gods!

Just being watched, there is a feeling that life is in their hands. It's not that Robin doesn't want to escape, but she knows that in front of these two people, running away can only make her death more indecent.

Suddenly, Robin thought of the vice admiral who saved his life more than ten years ago. At that time, the powerless self didn't have such a sense of powerlessness, right?

She even blamed the boy who ate her own cake and even pulled off part of her disguise. After all, she doesn't feel magical about things like devil fruits.

Because she is also one of the devil fruit abilities.

"Dah~"

Skyler stood up suddenly, Robin took half a step back subconsciously, Garp also put his hand on Skyler's left hand that was still on the table in an instant.

Robin didn't understand why Garp did this, because Skyler's appearance clearly recognized him. As a navy, seeing O'Hara's remnants, what needs to be done should be to capture or behead him. !

Garp seemed to have no reason to stop Skyler at all. Skyler turned to look at Garp. Garp put away his expression at this time, looked at Skyler calmly, and then shook his head.

Skyler was silent for a second, then nodded, without any communication, but Garp withdrew his hand, and Skyler walked towards Robin.

Robin, who had just stepped back half a step, didn't know why, and didn't dare to retreat anymore, but stood there dumbly. The experience of escaping from death countless times in the past ten years was completely useless at this time. use.

The existence of Skyler and Garp made her seem to have returned to the childhood when she had no power, struggling and escaping should be completely meaningless at this time.

Skyler walked towards Robin, stopped when passing Luffy who was lying down, bent slightly, lifted Luffy up, and took the cowboy hat from his rebounded hand.

I reached out and patted the cowboy hat, and there was no smoke, but if something fell on the ground, it was a polite thing to pick it up and wipe it, or pat it a few times before returning it to someone else.

Skyler continued to walk, and kept approaching Robin. Robin felt that she could hear her own heartbeat at this moment. After all, this might be the last sound of her life.

"Sorry for dirtying your hat, if you don't mind, please wait a moment, your cake was eaten by my nephew."

Skyler handed the cowboy hat to Robin, but Robin didn't reach out to take it, and she didn't even understand what Skyler said and wrote for the first time.

She heard every word Skyler said, but... her brain just couldn't process it.

"Um?"

Skyler passed the cowboy hat forward and made a questioning voice. Robin then reacted, took his own cowboy hat quickly, and said, "No need."

"It must. Not only for the money you spend, but also for the education of your children."

Skyler's tone was not harsh, even so flat that there were not many ups and downs in tone, but that kind of firm tone was like reciting the truth, which made it impossible to refute.

"Luffy, apologize, and pay."

After talking to Robin, Skyler looked back at Luffy again. After hearing Skyler's words, Luffy also realized that he had made a mistake. He walked to the bar honestly and took out 10,000 Baileys. , said:

"Please give this sister a piece of cake."

The shop owner took the money, but before he had time to change it, Luffy walked up to Robin with his head down, bowed deeply, and said, "Sorry, if you're still angry, you can beat me up!"

Contrary to Skyler's calmness, Luffy's tone was full of emotion. Just by saying it, people around him felt his sincerity. Robin waved his hand quickly and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding."

Her voice was getting quieter, because she knew that Skyler was watching her, even through the sunglasses, but as a Robin who hadn't lived a safe day in more than ten years, she was very sensitive to other people's gaze.

Although it has been judged that Skyler and Garp should have recognized her identity just now, Robin does not feel at ease that the two did not make a move.

After all maybe Skyler and Cap haven't decided yet? If there is no confirmation, it seems that it will hurt the navy's face if you make a rash move. After all, every word and deed of these two people can easily make the headlines of the World Economic News.

Robin kept praying at this point that Skyler and Cap would just feel like Nicole Robin instead of identifying themselves as Nicole Robin.

After all, if it was the former, she should still have a chance to survive.

"Robin."

But when Robin was praying, Skyler called out her name accurately. In an instant, Nicole Robin's blood rushed towards the heart and the main organs of the trunk, and her hands and feet became cold.

The caramel-like skin actually looked a little pale at this moment.

Seeing Robin like this, Skyler showed a smile, it was a smile when the prank was successful, and said:

"Kuzan and I are not friends, but we do have some friendship, and the one in it will have a deeper friendship."

Skyler's words did not relieve Robin's tension. After all, Skyler's seemingly relieved words showed her familiarity with the O'Hara incident back then.

So familiar that even the little girl Aokiji let Robin know.

Robin couldn't even figure out why that general Kuzan chose to let him go at that time, let alone Skyler and Karp who are now separated by another layer.

At this time, the store owner packed a piece of cake and put it on the counter, but he didn't dare to call Robin or Skyler, after all, Robin looked very panicked now.

And Skyler's aura is too strong. Although she didn't take the initiative to release the slightest bit, her identity is the best aura support for these civilians.

However, the shop owner didn't say anything, and Skyler had already heard it. She turned around, picked up the box containing the cake from the counter, and handed it to Robin.

Robin immediately reached out to pick it up, but found that he was still holding the hat in his hand. After putting the hat on, he reached out again and took the cake box from Skyler.

"Sorry, Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm going to take a step first. I don't know what you said just now. You may have admitted the wrong person."

After Robin finished speaking, she finally turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she could no longer calm down and ran quickly. Skyler looked at Luffy who was still bowing his head, waiting for Robin to hit him.

"Duang~"

Robin doesn't fight, it doesn't mean that Luffy's behavior today can be reversed like this. Skyler directly punched him on the head. Considering that this is someone else's shop, Skyler didn't use too much strength. It is a small punishment and a big warning.

Back at the round table, Karp said with a smile: "That kid Kuzan, although he behaved like an idiot all day long, he has his own ideas, and the old man doesn't want to spoil his choice casually."

As early as when Nicole Robin's reward order came out, Karp had already seen it clearly. After all, with Kuzan's ability, even if he was still a little lacking at the time, it was impossible to be so negligent in dealing with O'Hara.

How could it be possible to accidentally let go of a "scholar" who has the ability to decipher ancient texts? And that O'Hara incident wasn't the only accident.

So the conclusion is self-evident, that is, this Nicole Robin was let go by Kuzan on purpose. Although I don’t know his real thoughts, but... as a former officer, Karp doesn’t mind respecting Kuzan’s choice.

However, after Skyler recognized Robin's identity, he did not take any action, which surprised Karp. After sitting down, Skyler said with a smile:

"I don't have much contact with General Aokiji, but we are life and death comrades anyway."

Skyler said this with a clear conscience. After all, she did go through life and death with Aokiji. She had just become the captain of the detachment that year. Before she sailed as a captain for the first time, she met Red Earl Redfield.

In that encounter, Aokiji saved her, and she also saved Aokiji, it is not an exaggeration to say that life and death are comrades in arms.

After hearing what Skyler said, Karp smiled even wider. He did not forget that incident, because it was the beginning of Kuzan's turning point.

If there hadn't been that incident, maybe there would be no current general Aokiji, and if the Red Earl didn't come that day, maybe Kuzan would really have gone back to his hometown with the ticket Karp gave him.

And for her daughter in front of her, that battle was also a huge turning point.

Not only was Skyler's first battle experienced as a detachment leader, but that battle was also the first time that the top level of the world government noticed Skyler's existence.

The truth of the ancient imperial work that is still full of doubts has not yet been revealed.

Garp will never forget these things, but he is also happy to hear that Skyler remembers the same.

After all, many people will forget or even deny the incompetent and helpless self after they are successful, but they are very happy that their daughter is not such a person.

At this time, the owner of the cafe finally sifted the coffee beans and ground them into powder, and brought the powder and other utensils, as well as twice the milk of Enilo and Luffy, and some food.

The small round table was filled up in an instant, but just as the shop owner was about to propose to build a table for them, he found that the food on the table was constantly disappearing.

The four of them seemed to be chewing something, but where did their hands go? In less than ten seconds, the food on the table instantly returned to zero, and the hands of the four people reappeared.

"Gulu~"

The shop owner swallowed, and quickly said without Skyler's explanation: "I'll clear the plate for you, and the rest will be served soon."

"Thanks."

Skyler showed an elegant smile, whispered to the shop owner, and then put the two hot water pots on the small charcoal stove brought together, waiting to boil the water.

However, the two cups of milk of Luffy and Enilo have already been emptied.

Enilo's glass of milk was drunk by Luffy, and Luffy's glass of milk was drunk by Garp. Now Enilo is full of lawsuits and angry, but he doesn't know what to say.

After all, he didn't pay, and spent all his food and drink at Luffy's money, so even if his glass of milk was robbed by Luffy, he didn't dare to say it outright.

Although he now has one million Baileys on him, according to the consumption level of the "tourist group" he followed, one million Baileys won't last long.

You can't let yourself lose the attitude of God for a moment of enthusiasm.

While Anilu was waiting for his new milk to be served, the two hot water jugs also made some sharp beeps, and Skyler skillfully moved the two jugs of water out of the charcoal stove.

For a swordsman who has been fighting with two black knives all year round, it is easy to control two pots of hot water at the same time. She preheated the cup skillfully.

Then put in coffee powder, two coffee powders, but each coffee powder contains double the amount.

It's not that Skyler wants to drink more coffee, but a technique of brewing coffee, that is, more coffee grounds and less coffee liquid.

In this way, the concentration of the coffee liquid will be very high, and finally these high-concentration coffee liquids are mixed with water to make a cup of fairly good coffee. This technique has a name called "by pass".

Simply put, it is to use more than 1 part of coffee powder to brew less than 1 part of coffee liquid, and then mix it into 1 part of coffee.

It seems a bit wasteful, but it is a good way to deal with not-so-good-quality coffee. After all, if it is extracted according to the routine, a lot of bad flavors will be extracted in the later stage.

Instead of drinking a whole cup of coffee, it is better to extract only the front end, which is a little thin, but has a decent taste.

Add powder, spread powder, wait until the hot water reaches the appropriate temperature, pour water and steam, wait for the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder to be released, and extract a small amount of coffee liquid directly with a knife.

Mixed water, then poured it from the sharing pot into the coffee cups, two cups of coffee, one was handed to Karp with a suspicious face, and one cup was placed in front of him.

Garp doesn't like drinking coffee, after all, it's easy to get hungry after drinking it, and he doesn't think coffee is delicious.

But he couldn't refuse Skyler, so he had to take a sip, and then he felt as bitter as ever.

No, it's sour and bitter!

Seeing Karp drinking the whole cup of coffee as if wearing a mask of pain, Skyler laughed. People who love coffee and people who don't like coffee have very different feelings about the taste of coffee. of.

Just like people who love coriander, coriander is "fragrant", and people who hate coriander, it is a "smelly" dish in their eyes, which is normal.

"tasty."

Although wearing a painful mask, Garp still praised him, then picked up the water bottle and said, "It's just too little, it doesn't quench your thirst at all!"

As he said that, he poured water into the colander, and Skyler didn't bother to stop him, not to mention whether Garp knew what a gold cup was, but the first cup just now was not in the proportion of a gold cup.

Therefore, it is good to drink as you like, to be free.

When the sharing jug was filled to the brim, Karp poured himself a glass and took a sip.

Boy, this time the sour taste is gone, it's all bitter.

Seeing the painful mask appearing on Garp's face again, Skyler leaned forward and backward with a smile. Sure enough, true happiness has to be built on the pain of others.

At this time, the shop owner finally brought up the second round of desserts and two glasses of milk.

Garp kept moving his hands, stuffing high-sugar desserts that were not suitable for breakfast into his mouth, but he still couldn't suppress the bitter taste, so he picked up Luffy's milk and drank tons of it.

Seeing this, Luffy was about to stop him, but his mouth was also full of desserts. When he moved at this moment, he was choked. He subconsciously picked up Enilo's milk and drank it tons of times.

Enel: (σ-`д)

The customers around looked at this table, and they still couldn't believe that this would be a gathering of two naval heroes and two unknown people, after all...it didn't match what they had imagined.

Shouldn't a high-ranking existence like the vice admiral always have a rigid face, with deep frowns, eyes full of wisdom and a sense of the story of seeing all the vicissitudes of life?

Are these two lunatics sure they are vice admirals? Are you sure it's a naval hero?

But they were just shocked and puzzled, the shop owner was different, he was still in pain.

As the owner of a cafe, this should be a very easy job, especially when there are two helpers. Moreover, the slow pace should be the main theme of the cafe, right?

The shop owner never thought that one day, he would be more tired from work than when he was young. If he knew that being a boss would be so tiring, why did he resign and work alone? !

Even if it was high-sugar food, a group of four people had to eat for more than two hours before they felt that breakfast should be over. It was not that they could eat too much. Of course, this was one of the aspects.

More importantly, as a cafe that has never served customers like Karp and Skyler, the efficiency of serving food is really too slow, resulting in at least two hours of empty windows out of more than two hours.

After the few of them left a huge sum of money and left, the store owner squatted down leaning against the wall, tired. Endlessly tired, he had experienced the difficulty of being a porter today.

At this time, at the platform of Santa Pobla, Robin was holding a ticket and hiding in a corner, looking even more tired than the cafe owner at this time.

She just came to the Great Channel, and since entering the Great Channel, she has never rested, and has been trying to escape the pirate group she was in, and after escaping, she kept avoiding their pursuit.

It wasn't because she was really in such a high spirits that she showed up at the coffee shop so early in the morning, but because she was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it.

But obviously that cup of coffee didn't have much effect. Although she was refreshed in the morning, after being "safe", the excitement quickly faded away, and now she was so tired that she couldn't even stand up.

But she didn't dare to sleep, not to mention that she was not completely sure of her safety, even if the pirates stopped chasing her, Skyler and Garp stopped attacking her, and Robin couldn't sleep.

Because for her, this sea is not free. She, a duckweed wanderer, should be able to adapt to this kind of life, but Robin just can't fit in here.

The sea brought her only one danger after another, and she always betrayed others first, because she knew that if she didn't, she would die a miserable death than anyone else.

Although she was out of danger for a short time now, she was very at a loss and didn't know where to go next. Although the next target was just to use each other, she knew that that person discovered her identity later.

Then either I betrayed first as always, or it was my first mistake, and I was betrayed in turn, ushering in my own death.

After seeing Skyler and Garp today, what Skyler said to her made her unable to sleep even though she was extremely tired.

Because she couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand why the vice admiral let her go seventeen years ago, and couldn't figure out why they still chose to let her go after seventeen years.

Even if Aokiji and Skyler, like the pirates and mafia she has worked with in the past, let her complete some seemingly impossible tasks.

Why... let her go, but didn't give her any instructions?

Or do they just want to watch themselves survive, and struggle to survive?

But between them, the number of times they have seen her with one hand can be counted. Even if you want to watch her struggle, there is no need to stay so far away, right?

Just when Robin kept thinking, but got no results at all, there seemed to be some movement in the distant port.

"Pirates! Pirates are coming!!!"

"Run!"

"Run that way! I saw Lieutenant General Cap and Skyler this morning! They're in that direction!"

The civilians around the port dispersed in a hurry, and the noisy voice quickly passed through the air and entered Robin's ears. She turned around wearily, and when she saw the pirate ship, she felt extremely complicated.

The Red String Pirates was also the last pirate she betrayed.

"Can you still catch up? Sure enough, have you made more than one piece of my life paper?"

Robin leaned on the railing wearily, and stood up. If the Red String Pirates really had their own life paper, then it would be useless to run away blindly.

"We still have to deal with the trouble."

Whispering, Robin jumped over the railing and fell downwards. Just as she was about to hit the ground, a row of arms appeared on the wall, constantly slowing her down.

After landing safely on the ground, Robin quickly rushed towards the port.

There are still a few hours before the train arrives, maybe... I can solve the trouble myself, and then leave calmly.

Just when she came near the port and was about to lurk on the pirate ship, a deep and powerful voice rang through the small town.

"Which bastard dares to disturb the old man's vacation?!"

The sound was like thunder, no. Robin looked at the sky, and found that the sky was still extremely clear just now, but now it was covered with dark clouds, and countless thunder snakes were piercing through the clouds.

"I've never heard of it! The naval hero Karp is actually a capable person?!"
