One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 372 Saving Robin (6K in )

Ricardo Islands in the Western Sea:

“Hahahahaha, I heard that Nico Robin, the daughter of the devil, has come to our island. This is a big deal worth 7900 million berries. I don’t know if I’ll be lucky enough to meet her. If I can, I’ll make a fortune!”

"You know what, I saw her a few days ago, but unfortunately, I don't know what happened, she slipped away, and now I can't find her no matter how hard I try. What a pity!"

"This demon child is just a little kid, but the Navy is offering such a high reward for Bailey. What on earth has she done wrong?"

"Who knows? These are none of our business. We just need to catch her and take her to the navy to exchange for a reward!"

"Speaking of this makes me angry. I heard that 90% of the damn naval branches in the West Sea have been destroyed. Now I don't even know where to find a naval branch!"

"."

Many people in the West Sea bar were talking about Robin, but they didn't expect that the real Robin dressed herself up to look like a boy and then went to the bar's kitchen to cook.

"Grrrrrr!!!"

However, making a fire while hungry and smelling the aroma of food made Robin's stomach growl involuntarily, and he became hungrier and hungrier.

"Boy, this is your dinner for today, eat it and get out of here!"

I finally made it to dinner time, but the dinner I got was just leftovers from other people in the bar. The most important thing was that there was no meat, and not even a full bowl!

“Woohoo!!”

After eating the leftovers, Robin came to the leaky woodshed and lay in the corner crying silently. He didn't even dare to cry out loud, for fear that others would know that there was someone hiding and sleeping in the woodshed.

"Mom, Dr. Clover, where are you? Robin misses you so much!"

Robin had been escaping from O'Hara for more than two months. He had seen a lot of darkness outside and lived in fear every day.

They were either afraid of being captured and sold for a bounty, or afraid of being captured and sold by slave traders, or they were afraid of going hungry every day.

Now she misses her life in O'Hara very much. Although the people there hate her, at least she doesn't have to worry about being caught. Although she often doesn't have enough to eat, at least the doctors and others will help her. She can also go to find wild fruits to eat, and read her favorite history books every day. She also met a giant companion.

But the unforgettable O'Hara had been destroyed by the navy's gunfire. Her mother, her giant companions, and Dr. Clover were all dead, and she was the only one left in the entire O'Hara!
In this lonely and cold night, Robin shed tears, missed the past, and gradually fell asleep crying!
"We can't stay here any longer. We have to move to another place. If we continue to stay here, that fire chef will become suspicious!"

Robin, who was cooking in the bar kitchen, decisively chose to leave after six days. After two months of fleeing, she could roughly tell whether others doubted her.

"Go to the port and see if there is a chance to leave this island!"

While making a fire in the bar's kitchen, Robin occasionally went outside the bar to eavesdrop on what people were talking about. Many people were talking about their own affairs, so Robin developed a huge sense of crisis and wanted to leave the island as soon as possible!

However, just as Robin was running from the path to the port, he saw two people at a bend.

One was a beautiful sister in a blue dress, and the other was a tall and intimidating man. She also felt that this man looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere!

"The world's greatest swordsman, the world's strongest man, Li Yuan!"

When he took a second look, Robin finally knew who the man in front of him was. At this moment, Robin's heart suddenly felt like thunder exploding. Even the man who was known as the strongest man in the world was going to find him, the son of the devil?

"Little guy, don't let your imagination run wild. Your bounty of 7900 million berries is nothing compared to mine!"

The moment he saw Robin, Li Yuan knew what she was thinking. After all, he was the strongest man in the world, so why did it seem like money was the only thing that mattered to this little girl?
"Well, since everything is alright, I'll leave first!

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Robin suddenly remembered that with Li Yuan's identity, how could he come to find her, the son of the devil? Maybe she was simply dispensable in his eyes. As she said that, Robin just wanted to leave here quickly and get out of this man's sight!
"You're leaving like this, don't you want to meet Dr. Shamrock and the others from O'Hara? They're still alive now."

The moment Robin turned around, Li Yuan's light words suddenly caused a crack in Robin's already frozen heart!
"You, you mean, Dr. Clover and the others are not dead? They are all still alive?"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Robin immediately turned around and looked at Li Yuan with endless expectations in his eyes.

For the past two months, she had been fantasizing every moment that Dr. Clover and the others were still alive, but that was all fantasy. She even knew that it was impossible. But now that these words came out of Li Yuan's mouth, even if it was just a lie, she hoped it was true!
"That's right. They are not dead yet. We rescued them when O'Hara was destroyed. They are now living in seclusion somewhere. If you want to see them, come with us!"

Li Yuan nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan and Xia Qi walked towards a room next door.

When Robin heard Li Yuan's words, his body involuntarily followed Li Yuan.

Even though her mind told her that this was most likely a lie by Li Yuan, her body was completely out of control.

When Robin followed Li Yuan and the others into the room, his eyes suddenly went dark and he was hypnotized and fell asleep in an instant.

"Husband, you are so cautious. She is just a child!"

Seeing Robin was hypnotized and about to fall to the ground, Xia Qi picked Robin up, and then they walked into the mirror together and came directly to the sky island where the O'Hara scholars lived.

"Captain Li Yuan, why are you here?"

After seeing Li Yuan and Xia Qi, Dr. Clover was very surprised. Although Dr. Clover knew that it was the Wuji Pirates who saved them, it was Li Yuan's first time here.

"I just happened to meet your little doctor from O'Hara who was wandering outside, so I sent her back!"

Li Yuan said calmly.

"This is Nico Robin, she is in your care!"

Xia Qi handed the sleeping Robin to Dr. Clover.

"Robin, it's really this kid Robin!"

Dr. Clover said excitedly after seeing the Robin that Xia Qi handed over.

"Captain, it's fine for us scholars to live here, but Robin is still young. Can we let her live in the sea?"

But after the excitement, Dr. Clover became worried about Robin's future. In his opinion, all of them scholars were already dead, and it was nothing to live in seclusion on the Sky Island. But Robin was still young, and her future should be on the sea, not on this small Sky Island!
"Okay, I will take her to live in the Wuji Sea in half a month, but the prerequisite is that she wants to go. If she doesn't want to go, I won't force her!"

Li Yuan nodded.

Robin will be a talented person in the future, so he will naturally not refuse such a request. Anyway, Li Yuan thinks that the more talents like this the better.

O'Hara was destroyed before, just when Li Yuan was preparing to hunt down the Five Elder Stars Maz Saint. Xia Qi only rescued those scholars and did not directly rescue Robin.

First, he didn't want the World Government to know that the Infinite Pirates were connected to O'Hara, and he didn't want the World Government to think that the Infinite Pirates were also looking for the blank hundred years, which would arouse Im's suspicion.

The second is that he did not want any mistakes to occur at the critical moment of hunting the Five Elders, which would alert the Five Elders.

That's why Li Yuan didn't directly ask the Wuji Pirates to rescue Robin.

"Thank you Captain!"

After getting Li Yuan's reply, Dr. Clover said happily that it can be said that Robin is the successor of their O'Hara and will continue to walk on the sea on behalf of their O'Hara!

"Dr. Clover? Am I dreaming?"

After Li Yuan left, Robin woke up from hypnosis. Looking at the familiar Dr. Clover in front of him, Robin looked confused and helpless!
"Robin, you are not dreaming, come and see, everyone is here!"

"We were rescued by members of the Wuji Pirates and have been living in seclusion here ever since."

Dr. Clover told Robin what happened and how it turned out.

"Wow, wow, wow, Dr. Clover, it's really you, you're really not dead, Robin missed you so much!!"

After Dr. Clover's explanation, Robin's tears suddenly flowed down, and then she cried loudly and unrestrainedly all the grievances of the past few days. She fell asleep while crying. She had been through too much hardship in the past few days. After her nerves relaxed, she fell asleep. This was the only time that Robin did not have a nightmare and slept very deeply!
When Robin woke up, he saw many familiar doctors and scholars, looked at the huge library and numerous books, and he felt like he was still in a dream.

During this half month, Robin lived a happier life than before.

"Robin, how have you been feeling these days?"

Dr. Clover asked gently.

"Yeah, Dr. Clover, I feel really good. I really like life here. It's like a dream."

Robin said happily. After all, compared with the previous two months of wandering and fleeing, life here was much happier than her life on O'Hara, because the scholars and Dr. Clover here cared about her very much.

"Robin, half a month has passed, it's time for you to leave here. I've told Captain Li Yuan that he will take you to live in the sea below. If you join the Wuji Pirates, you don't have to worry about being caught by the navy or other pirates, because the Wuji Pirates will protect you!"

Dr. Clover said.

"Doctor, can I not join the Promise Pirates? I don't want to leave Doctor Clover, I don't want to leave everyone!"

After finally reuniting with Dr. Clover and the others, young Robin didn't want to leave.

"Robin, Sky Island is too small. Your future should be a wider ocean, not being trapped here forever."

"Whether for the sake of O'Hara's inheritance or for yourself, you shouldn't be trapped here forever. The Promise Pirates are very powerful, so powerful that you don't have to fear the navy. So in the Promise Pirates, as long as you don't betray Captain Li Yuan, you can live a very good life. You can find companions of your age and go on adventures with them."

Dr. Clover patiently counseled Robin.

"Yeah, Dr. Clover, I get it!"

In the end, Robin was persuaded by Dr. Clover.

Not long after, Li Yuan and Xia Qi came here again and took Robin away!
"Dad, you're back!"

"Lord Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan brought Robin to his daughter Asuna. Xia Li was also there. When they saw Li Yuan, they immediately ran over.

"Charlie, Asuna, I brought you a good friend, her name is Robin!"

Li Yuan would not take care of a little girl like Robin, so he just threw her to Asuna and Xia Li, who were also children like Robin, and asked them to play together. After all, they were all children, all little girls, so they should be able to play together.

"Robin, my name is Asuna, you will play with me from now on!"

"And me, and me, my name is Xia Li, I will play with you from now on!"

Asuna and Xia Li were naturally very happy to see the new friends that Li Yuan brought to them.

"My name is Robin, please give me your guidance!"

It was the first time that Robin saw a child of her age willing to play with her, so she was naturally very happy.

Soon, the three little guys were playing together and having a lot of fun. "By the way, Asuna and Shirley, didn't you always want to go to Elbaf to see the Titans? Esdeath and Barrett will be going to Elbaf in a few days, so you can go with them then."

"And Robin, you will go with them when the time comes. There is someone you know there, and I will arrange for you to meet him!"

Just when Asuna and her three little ones were having a great time, Li Yuan readily agreed to let them go to Elbaf.

"Really, Dad? Can I finally go to that country full of giants? You're so kind, Dad!"

When Asuna heard Li Yuan's words, she jumped up with joy!

"Giant, is it very big?"

Shirley asked doubtfully. Although there were giants in the Infinite Pirates, Shirley had not been to many places since she came to the Infinite Sea, so naturally she had never seen a giant.

"Of course they are big, very big. One of their fingers is bigger than Charlie's!"

Asuna said happily.

"Wow, that's really big. Charlie wants to see the giant too!"

Shirley said in surprise after hearing Asuna's description.

"Giant, could it be him, is he still alive?"

After hearing Li Yuan’s words, Robin immediately remembered Salon who was frozen in order to protect her!
Three days later, Asuna, Shirley, Robin, and Perona, who came back from playing with Akame, the four little ones happily boarded the big ship where Esdeath was.

"Sister, I missed you so much. You didn't even come to see Asuna!"

When Asuna saw Esdeath, she immediately ran over and hugged Esdeath's thighs.

"Big sister misses Asuna too. Isn't big sister going to take Asuna to Elbaf to see the Titans?"

Esdeath bent down and gently picked up Asuna, smiling.

Although Esdeath is very cold-blooded and decisive in front of outsiders, she is also gentler than ever before when facing her younger brothers and sisters. All her coldness is directed to the outside world, not to herself.

"Sister, they are all my friends. Her name is Xia Li, she is a fortune teller. Her name is Perona, she was brought back by my second sister, she can release ghosts. Her name is Robin, she was brought back by my father, she is amazing, she is a doctor!"

Asuna happily introduced her friends to Esdeath.

"Hello, I'm Asuna's elder sister Esdeath, nice to meet you.

Esdeath said with a smile.

"Hello, Sister Esdeath!"

Robin and the other three little ones greeted Esdeath very politely.

Esdeath did not continue playing with these little guys. After all, it was impossible for her to play with the children.

After Esdeath left, Asuna and the other little ones ran around on this giant steel ship excitedly. It was their first time to ride on such a steel battleship.

After arriving at Elbaf, Esdeath took Robin and the other little ones off the boat and came to a village in Elbaf.

"Wow, it's so big!!"

"Giant, so tall!"

"It's amazing, what a huge giant. How many Peronas would it take to be as tall as the giant?"

"."

Along the way, Asuna and the other little ones would exclaim every time they saw a giant. Except for Robin, it was the first time for the other three little ones to see a giant.

“Hehehe, isn’t this Li Yuan’s daughter Esdeath? The little girl back then has grown up so much!”

Dongli looked at Esdeath and the others as they came over and greeted them warmly.

"Uncle Dongli, next time could you please remove the words 'Li Yuan's daughter' and just call me Esdeath!"

Esdeath said speechlessly.

"Hehehehe, no problem, no problem. I'll remember next time. Did you come alone this time? Is Li Yuan here?"

Donli asked curiously.

"My father didn't come, but Uncle Barrett is here. He lost to the Giant King last time, but this time he has become stronger and is here to challenge the Giant King. If you rush over now, you should still be able to see their duel!"

Esdeath shook her head.

"Is the Giant King going to duel with Barrett? Great, I'll go over right away. I want to challenge Barrett before the Giant King and Barrett duel. I can't let the Giant King get there first!!"

After hearing what Esdeath said, Dongli immediately ran out of the village.

After Dongli left, Esdeath led Robin and the others to continue walking into the village, and Robin soon saw the giant that she was very familiar with, Haguvar D. Sauro!!

"Saron!!!"

After seeing Haguvar D. Sauro, Robin shouted excitedly.

"Hehehe, Robin, I'm so glad you're okay!!"

After hearing Robin's voice, Sauro immediately turned around and saw the little girl who had become his friend on O'Hara Island.

After he was frozen unconscious by Kuzan, when he woke up again, he saw his giant companions taking him back to Elbaf.

And because of this incident, Sauro was confined to Elbaf and could no longer go out to sea.

He thought they would never see each other again, but he didn't expect that more than two months later, he saw Robin again!

"Saron!!!!"

Robin rushed over with the water running, saved Salon's fingers and started crying.

During these days, she met Dr. Clover who was not dead, met some friends in the Infinite Pirates, and now she met her former giant partner Salon.

Robin felt that she was so happy and so cheerful!

"Let's go first and call them after dinner!"

Esdeath took Asuna and the other two away, leaving the space for Robin and Salon.

New World Erickson Islands:
On the wasteland at the edge of the island, three people were fighting fiercely. One of them was Doflamingo. This Erikson Island was the one that Yadina introduced to Doflamingo as a suitable territory for Doflamingo's New World base.

It has to be said that after Doflamingo came here and observed the island, he found that the island was quite large, and because it was located in the front of the New World, it was still very prosperous, so many pirates were eyeing this island.

After arriving here, Doflamingo, like a dragon crossing the river, defeated Kulik, one of the three major pirates entrenched here.

He originally wanted to deal with the other powerful pirate in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that after the two pirates heard about Doflamingo's affairs, they joined forces to attack Doflamingo first!
If they were fighting alone, Doflamingo would definitely not be afraid of them, but after these two guys joined forces, they suppressed Doflamingo!
"Hahahahaha, Doflamingo, weren't you very arrogant before? Why do you only know how to defend yourself now and don't even dare to fight back?"

Rausch Abbott slashed Doflamingo's head from the side.

Doflamingo stretched out his hand and created a thick spider web-like barrier covered with armed color domineering to block the knife.

"Five colored thread!"

Doflamingo was extremely angry at Abbot's words. He suddenly swung his other hand like a sharp claw, and five thin wires of five colors pierced Abbot's heart like five sharp iron needles.

"Don't use such tricks to embarrass yourself, Doflamingo!"

Abbott snorted coldly, turned around and chopped horizontally, chopping the five-colored line directly away.

Just as Doflamingo was dealing with Abbott, another pirate, Costadin Ali, swung a black mace covered with armed color domineering and smashed it towards the back of Doflamingo's head.

"cobweb!"

At the critical moment, a thick spider web covered with armed color domineering blocked Doflamingo.

Although the huge force of the mace did not break the spider web's defense, it deformed the spider web. The mace hit Doflamingo's head directly through the spider web, knocking him half-kneeling on the ground.

"asshole!!"

"razor!"

Doflamingo was extremely angry at being beaten by these two unsportsmanlike guys who teamed up to beat him up. Seeing that the situation was not right, Doflamingo rushed forward, using his shaving skills and the thin wires arranged in the air to fly into the sky, flying directly towards the port.

There is no way he can beat these two guys together by himself, so now he can only escape first and make plans later!
"Damn you Costadin and Abbott, just wait, I will definitely twist your heads off next time!"

Doflamingo touched the back of his head and found that it was bleeding. He felt his own blood flowing, and a feeling of frustration weighed on his heart.

He had vowed before that he could take over the island without the help of the Wuji Pirates, but now after arriving here, he discovered that the pirates in the New World are so strong.

Even though these two pirates don't have a big background, their combined strength has surpassed his. If they continue to fight, the chances of him losing are extremely high.

"This guy can actually fly, what a trouble!"

Watching Doflamingo fly away, Costadin and the other guy didn't continue chasing him. After all, neither of them could fly.

"We have agreed in advance that Macao Aram's territory will be divided equally between the two of us!"

Costadin said.

Machao Aram was the unlucky guy who was killed first by Doflamingo, and he was also the weakest among the three of them.

"No problem. I think the new guy will most likely come back. Then we will join forces again. It would be best if we can kill him directly to prevent him from spying on our territory again!"

Abbott said.

"He's just a stray dog. No matter how many times he comes, we can defeat him!"

Costadin didn't care.
