Chapter 288: Turning Point of the O'Hara Incident

"Where is this? O'Hara Island?" Barrett, who was following the naval warship, looked at the island in the distance through the periscope. It was obviously the Tree of Omniscience. There could be no other answer. Adam was not like this.

In fact, Barrett had just left this island not long ago, only about two months ago. When he arrived on this island, the old professor with a strange hairstyle almost went crazy. He recognized his identity as a Pirate King crew member at a glance and pulled him to ask questions. However, Barrett felt that he was a little uneducated. He had heard every word that came out of the old professor's mouth, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they meant.

"Has the fact that I've been here been discovered?" Barrett's first reaction was that this was related to him. After all, he was one of the most restless members of Roger's pirate group. Apart from Shanks and Buggy, who were now wandering around the world as newcomers to the sea, he was the most active one.

But then he thought again, it didn't make sense. If it was because of him, the navy's target shouldn't be O'Hara. After all, after he left O'Hara, he appeared in Carnival Island and Eternal Night Island successively. Even according to the time, the navy should be heading to Eternal Night Island, not here.

"It looks like something has happened." Barrett muttered softly, then steered the catapult towards a hidden small dock. It was an excellent landing spot he discovered when he left, but when he drove the catapult closer to there, he found something wrong. There was a simple dock built of wood, and an absurdly large wooden boat docked here.

"Swish--boom!" Just when Barrett was still wondering what was going on, suddenly a cannonball hit the branch of the Tree of Omniscience. Even though the fire from the explosion was far away, Barrett could see it at a glance, and this was obviously a test firing. Immediately afterwards, continuous cannonballs poured towards the entire O'Hara Island like crazy, and almost instantly, this small island was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

"Damn it, this is the Demon Killing Order!" Although he had never experienced it before, Barrett had heard of this name from Roger. Only the admirals of the navy have the right to launch it, which involves dispatching five vice admirals of the headquarters and ten of the most advanced battleships, one of the navy's ultimate means to physically wipe out an island.

"What's wrong with the navy! They actually issued a demon-killing order against such an island!" Barrett immediately controlled the catapult to surface, and then rushed to the island in one step. If he didn't know, it would be fine. But since he knew, he couldn't let the navy act so recklessly, not to mention that he also met an interesting little guy on this island!
At the same time, Spandine looked at the flames around him with horror on his face.

"What the hell is going on with these navy bastards! We haven't evacuated yet!" Spandine couldn't help but curse as he looked at the shells falling nearby and the flames that almost burned his cloak.

"Sir, once the order to kill demons is issued, they will not stop no matter what else is on the island!" said a CP member beside Spandine.

"Damn it, evacuate quickly! Don't worry about that woman! She will definitely die here anyway!" Spandine said to Olbia who was kneeling on the ground next to him.

"Yes!" The CPs responded in unison. Not to mention that Spandine didn't want to take Olbia with him, even they themselves didn't want to. The most important thing at this time was to run away quickly. The Demon Slayer Order was one of the ultimate means of the Navy. Its powerful force made them not want to run into bad luck here. What if they were hit by a cannonball by accident?
All of a sudden, these CPs stopped caring about anything else and quickly protected Spandine and ran towards the evacuation ship that had been prepared long ago. Little Robin finally walked to his mother and held her hand.

"mom!"

"Robin!" Olbia could not suppress her emotions and hugged Robin in her arms. She was not a competent mother, leaving her young child alone on the island. She had been gone for so many years and when she finally came back, what she brought was not gifts and comfort, but gunfire and disaster.

"I'm sorry, I really missed you." Robin said chokingly, leaning on Olbia's shoulder.

"No, I'm sorry, Robin. I didn't expect you to have learned so much. It really surprised me. You must have worked very hard. This is not something that everyone can do. Robin, you are really amazing." Olbia touched Robin's head, and her words made Robin cry even harder.

"Fortunately, only the official just now knew this." Dr. Clover gasped. His lungs were pierced by bullets, and it was a bit difficult for him to speak, but he still gathered all his strength and shouted to Olbia and Robin:
"Don't waste time here! Olbia! Take Robin and run away! Find a way to get Robin onto the refugee ship! Escape from the island!"

"Robin! You're here! It took me so long to find you!" At the same time, Sauro also arrived, and his loud voice completely drowned out Dr. Clover's words.

"Sauro? Why are you here?" Olbia was very surprised when he saw the giant in front of him. "Maybe this is fate. I was shipwrecked and when I woke up I was already here. Don't worry about it for now, just come with me!" Sauro said.

Olbia looked at Sauro, then looked at Dr. Clover and the other scholars who were putting out the fire and moving books behind her, then looked down at Robin. As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and said to Sauro:
"Robin, please, please take my daughter out."

"Ah... No, mom, I don't want to go! I just met you, I don't want to go!" Robin grabbed Olbia's clothes tightly, tears streaming from his eyes.

"Robin, as a scholar of O'Hara, you should know that history is the wealth of mankind and can illuminate the future. However, the history handed down from the past will gradually die out if it cannot continue to the next era. That is the loss of all mankind. O'Hara does not want to reveal any history, but only hopes to protect the voice of the past. Our research cannot continue, but even if O'Hara perishes, we cannot give up hope for the future!" Olbia said, touching Robin's head.

"Mom, I don't understand." Robin was still wiping her tears. Indeed, even if she was a genius, it was still a bit difficult for an eight-year-old child like Robin to understand such a profound truth. After all, to understand this sentence, one needs not only knowledge but also experience.

"You will understand one day." Olbia stood up and looked at Robin who was crying while hugging her legs. In fact, Olbia was more heartbroken than anyone else. It was not that she didn't want to leave with Robin, but if she took Robin with her, she would not be able to escape the pursuit of the navy, and Robin was still young. She hoped that the World Government would not notice her.

"Take her—"

"What the hell are you doing!" Just when Olbia wanted Sauro to take Robin away, Barrett arrived. He looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, the crying Robin and the woman who looked 90% like Robin, the tall giant and Dr. Clover with bleeding chest, and asked questions unconsciously.

"It's you!" Dr. Clover shouted at Barrett.

"Douglas Barrett!" Sauro looked at the person who came with shock on his face.

"Uncle Barrett!" Robin shouted in surprise.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why did the navy suddenly go crazy and issue the Demon-Slaying Order?" Barrett was in no mood to look at the expressions of the few people. He turned around and punched. The shock wave directly blew up several shells flying towards this side, and then he asked about the situation of the few people present.

"The World Government has learned about our research on the historical text." Dr. Clover came back to his senses from the pain in his chest and said while gasping.

"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you not to continue researching this kind of thing? At least find a backer before researching. Did you take what I said at that time as bullshit?" Barrett's mind was full of lawsuits when he heard this. He had expected this to be the reason. He had warned these scholars the last time he came. Did these scholars have donkey hair in their ears? They couldn't understand such a simple truth?
"Uncle Barrett, please save my mother and Dr. Clover." Robin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hugged Barrett's trouser legs and shouted.

"Bang bang bang!" Another round of artillery fire was approaching.
