Chapter 125 Come Be My Partner! (44)

Chapter 125 Come be my partner! (4/4)

"Nicole Robin!?"

Hearing this name with a special meaning, Smoker behind the Straw Hat Pirates suddenly changed his expression and his eyes became serious

Nicole Robin! ?

Isn't that the son of the devil wanted by the World Government! ?

Smoker clearly remembered that when he was taking cultural classes in the boot camp...

Their teacher at that time gave them a course to introduce dangerous people in the world.

Among them, the name of Nicole Robin can be listed together with the Four Emperors Pirate Group and revolutionary cadres and other big figures who are enough to endanger the world!

If such a terrifying guy stays on the ship, won't the future of the Straw Hat Pirates become very dangerous! ?

Smoker became worried instantly.

But the next second, he was stunned.

That's not right! ?

Why should I worry about a group of pirates! ?

Isn't it a good thing for the sea if they are caught by the World Government! ?

For a moment, Smoker, who was in a complicated mood, looked around and found that the eyes of the people around him were all focused on Robin, so he sighed.

Forget it.

What does the World Government's must-capture list have to do with me, a navy! ?

...

...

Just like that, after a lot of trouble.

Robin, who was suppressed by seastone, successfully became a prisoner of the Straw Hat Pirates.

At Sanji's strong request, they tied Robin to a chair.

Except for the weakness brought by seastone, she did not suffer any other crimes.

"So..."

"What should we do? Kill her?"

Zoro, who seemed to be unfriendly to every prisoner, once again made a cruel suggestion.

Then, of course, Sanji gave him a flying kick!

Clang! ! !

The long sword with the color of armed forces instantly confronted the leather shoes with the color of armed forces.

Sanji bit his cigarette holder and threatened Zoro fiercely:

"Asshole! Don't be so rude to women!"

"You bastard!"

Zoro grinned angrily, and the power of thunder suddenly flashed on his body. Obviously, he wanted to teach this pervert who was kind to the enemy a lesson.

Sanji was not to be outdone, and flames burst out of his body.

The two of them started to practice on the deck of the Merry in a blink of an eye.

But for the love-hate relationship between the two of them, not to mention the Straw Hats, even the non-staff members Vivi and Smoker were already familiar with it.

No one took it seriously.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the daily brain of the Straw Hats-Red.

But this time, Red unexpectedly chose to stand on Sanji's side.

He just nodded and smiled: "Haha, Zoro, this time this woman, you really can't touch it~!"

"Huh!?"

Red's words successfully interrupted the confrontation between Zoro and Sanji, and they all looked at him with curious eyes.

At this time, Red walked to Robin's side and turned his eyes to Luffy.

He chuckled:

"Luffy, do you remember the way to become the Pirate King that I told you about two years ago?!"

"What? The way to become the Pirate King?"

Luffy scratched his head in a daze, as if thinking, as if recalling, and then suddenly slammed his palm, saying righteously:

"I forgot!"

"…………"

"…………"

After a moment of silence, Red smiled with relief:

"Well, this is not surprising!"

As the person who has been with Luffy the longest on the Merry, he has long passed the age of getting angry because of these trivialities.

Although it is somewhat outrageous that Luffy can forget such an important thing!

Two years ago, Red, who was not prepared to go on an adventure with Luffy, did a lot of homework for him.

But it is obvious that his lost tongue in those years has long been eaten by Luffy with his meal.

"Forget it~"

Red sighed, then raised his head and scanned the Straw Hats.

"In that case, I'll take this opportunity to explain it to everyone again."

"Although there is still a long way to go, it is something that will happen sooner or later..."

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone and Robin, he talked about the news about the historical text and the red coordinate historical text.

And by the way, he pointed out Robin's identity as a historian who can interpret ancient characters.

Half an hour later.

Everyone looked at Robin with a different look.

"Wait, wait..." Nami interrupted Red in surprise, "In other words... If Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, we must take this woman with us to sail?"

"What is this!? Our captive? Or our partner?"

Red smiled slightly, but did not answer, but gave the decision to the real master:

"Luffy, what do you think?"

"Hmm..."

Luffy tilted his mouth and looked embarrassed.

"What a hassle~"

"Are we going to sail with a bad guy who came to assassinate Vivi!?"

"Bad guy!?" Red smiled, "That's not the case."

He then explained to Luffy:

"Although Nico Robin is not a good person, she is definitely not a bad person!"

"After all, there are many people in this world who are worse than her!"

"Besides, we are pirates, and we are not good people."

Red smiled slightly.

Of course, he knew that the "bad guy" Luffy mentioned was not the bad one, but Robin who wanted to assassinate their friends.

So he continued:

"And... I think she didn't intend to complete the assassination mission from the beginning, right?"

"Otherwise, how could someone rashly board the opponent's ship when they knew they were no match for the opponent?"

"Nicole Robin is not a fool!"

Red was not defending Robin on this point.

After all, with Robin's fruit ability, as long as she saw Vivi from a distance, she could twist Vivi's head off in an instant.

Of course...

The premise is that Vivi is still the same as before, and has not turned into Red's Pokémon.

"..."

Under Red's eyes that seemed to see through everything, the captured Robin remained silent and had no intention of speaking at all.

After hearing this, Vivi hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually, if you put it that way... this woman does seem a little strange."

"Because the information about Baroque Works and Crocodile was revealed to me by this woman!"

"I originally thought she had a bigger conspiracy, but now it seems..."

"Perhaps, she is really not a bad person as Akane said!"

"I see~"

Luffy, who was very obedient, nodded in understanding, and then he immediately made a decision:

"Then, since we can't become the Pirate King without her..."

"Then let her be our partner!"

Luffy made the final decision, and then laughed directly at Robin:

"Your name is Robin, right?!"

"Come be my partner!!!"

Simple and clear, this is Luffy's style of doing things!

This scene made Nami and Usopp next to him speechless instantly.

But since Akane's words seemed to reveal the idea of ​​inviting Robin to be a partner, they naturally wouldn't say much.

It's just...

The enemy in the last second, the partner in the next moment.

This bizarre change of identity really made their reactions completely unpredictable.

"Wait...you want to invite this woman to be your companion!?"

At this moment, Smoker, who had been invisible and silent, finally couldn't stand it anymore and reminded the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Do you know the situation of that woman!?"

"She is a wanted person by the World Government!"

"If you have anything to do with her, you will be hunted down by the World Government!?"

"Ah? So what?" Luffy looked at him indifferently.

After practicing together for so long, he didn't completely ignore Smoker's words.

Smoker was still shocked:

"What? So what? That's the World Government!"

"If you are related to Nico Robin, you are no longer ordinary pirates in the eyes of the World Government!"

"But..." Luffy scratched his cheek in confusion: "We are not ordinary pirates!?"

"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

"Isn't it normal to be hunted by the World Government!?"

"Uh..."

Smoker was speechless for a moment.

But at this time, Robin suddenly spoke up and added for him:

"That gentleman is right!"

Even though she was captured, her expression was still unusually calm, and she didn't care about life and death.

Although she was indeed frightened by the omniscient Red before.

"If you get involved with me, you won't have a good ending!"

"Not just the Shichibukai Crocodile..."

"If the World Government knew that I was on your ship, they would definitely take strict precautions against you and make it difficult for you to move!"

"After all, the World Government will not let me, who can interpret the text of history, continue to live in this world."

Robin said calmly, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

In fact, as Red said, she had indeed investigated the situation of the Straw Hat Pirates a long time ago.

Even including their destruction of the Dragon Pirates and the Navy Base 16 in the East China Sea, they became great heroes in the eyes of many East China Sea people!

That's why she took the initiative to show up and said those words about assassinating Vivi.

Although she has been trying to live, Robin's heart has long been scarred.

Now she is neither happy because of being alive nor afraid of death.

Everything is just going with the flow and taking things as they come.

Even if she really died in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, it can be said to be part of her plan.

However, after hearing her words, Luffy continued to show a puzzled expression, and asked in confusion:

"So... so what!?"

"Huh!?"

Robin looked up suddenly and saw the expression on Luffy's face that didn't seem fake.

Luffy said:

"Being an enemy of the World Government... wasn't that prepared when we set out to sea!?"

"So why would I not let you become my partner just because of the World Government!?"

"After all, even Red said..."

"Without you, it would be hard for me to become the Pirate King!"
