One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 290 Prequel to the O'Hara Incident (Part )
I don't know how many times the coffee in the cup has been refilled. Dr. Clover finally explained Robin's situation. It must be said that Dr. Clover is worthy of being a master of liberal arts. The story he told is vivid. However, this excellent story did not make Barrett happy. After all, the protagonist of this story was lying on the side, and his injuries also doomed this story to not have a happy process.

"Then why doesn't the child's mother leave her to you to take care of? You obviously treat her better." Barrett frowned and asked in confusion.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at us, but we can't even take care of the children. Sometimes we even need Robin to take care of us here." Dr. Clover's face flushed. They were typical giants in academics but dwarfs in life. They had to go outside even to make instant noodles to avoid accidentally setting the Tree of All-Knowledge on fire. There was no kitchen in the entire Tree of All-Knowledge because after Olbia left, they blew up the kitchen the first time they cooked. Fortunately, they didn't set the house on fire.

"We can't just ignore the child like this!" Looking at Robin lying on the small bed next to him, Barrett couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He himself was a person who had no childhood. He still remembered a book he had read saying that some people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while some people use their whole life to heal their childhood. He felt that he was the latter. And because of this, he actually didn't want to see anyone like him, because healing childhood felt really painful.

"Alas, we also tried to persuade Olbia that she didn't need to lead the team. After all, Robin was so young at that time. But you know, sometimes women are more stubborn than men. We couldn't persuade her at that time. Maybe it has something to do with her husband. Olbia's husband was a genius back then, but maybe God is jealous of geniuses. He was diagnosed with a terminal illness when Robin was one year old and died within a few months. Since then, Olbia has devoted herself to her husband's research like a madman, and no one can persuade her." Dr. Clover had a helpless look on his face. Robin's father was once his student. His pain for the death of this genius was no less than Olbia's.

"What is she studying?" Barrett asked.

In response to his question, Dr. Clover fell silent for a moment, just staring at Barrett's face, half of which was covered by the cloak, in deep thought, as if hesitating.

Seeing Dr. Clover like this, Barrett no longer hid. He tore off his cloak and revealed his face.

"Dr. Clover, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Douglas Barrett, a former member of the Roger Pirates. I am here to tell you on Captain Roger's behalf that he has seen those stone tablets." Barrett said.

"You, you, you!" Faced with Barrett's sudden confession, Dr. Clover almost couldn't breathe. He knew what domineering was. The powerful domineering color on Barrett had already told him that Barrett's identity was not simple, but he didn't expect that he was actually a member of Roger's pirate group back then.

Dr. Clover knew Roger a long time ago, before Barrett boarded the ship and Roger started looking for the final island. When Roger and others landed on the island, they caused quite a bit of chaos. The scholars of the Tree of Omniscience thought they were here to rob.

However, in a later conversation, Dr. Clover, who had just become the leader of the Tree of All-Knowing, discovered that Roger was a very different pirate. Although he looked unreliable, he was indeed a man of great wisdom. Roger knew the importance of wisdom. When Roger left, Dr. Clover said half-jokingly, "If you see the original text of history at sea and find someone who can translate it, please tell me."

What Dr. Clover didn't expect was that his half-joking remark was actually remembered by Roger, and he told him the result a few years after Roger's death.

"Have you found it? Have you found everything? What's recorded in it?" Dr. Clover looked at Barrett with shining eyes. He is an expert in historical research, and his life goal is to study the historical text.

"You can say that, but I don't know everything. Only Captain Roger knows everything, but he doesn't want to tell us. Obviously, he thinks the things above are not suitable for public disclosure for the time being." Barrett did not mention anything about Kozuki Oden. In fact, he has always looked down on Kozuki Oden. Barrett is always a decisive person who does whatever he wants. He really looks down on indecisive guys like Kozuki Oden.

"Is that so? That's such a pity." Dr. Clover sighed, his face full of disappointment, but he couldn't force it. After all, he was just saying it casually at the time.

"So, this research is the main text of history?" Barrett was not stupid. He instantly deduced the result from Dr. Clover's expression.

"Yes, our research is mainly about the historical texts." Dr. Clover nodded and said. "Nonsense! Are you crazy? Don't you know that this is expressly prohibited by the World Government? With what you have here, if the World Government finds out, they will not let you go!" Barrett's face changed instantly. He knew how dangerous this thing was. During the last voyage, the Roger Pirates began to look for the historical texts. Since the news of their search for the historical texts reached the ears of the World Government, the World Government's pursuit of them has increased exponentially. Isn't the Roger Pirates strong enough? In this situation, they also survived a narrow escape, and they escaped several times because of luck.

And now, all the people in O'Hara combined are not enough for me to fight with one hand, and they dare to study this thing? These old pedants are desperate!
"But this is the most important history, and it is mankind's hope for the future!" Dr. Clover stood up and said.

"Bullshit! What's the point of talking about the future when everyone is dead? What's the point of history without a future? Save your life first! Think about other things after you save your life!" Barrett also stood up. He felt much more oppressive than Dr. Clover, but Dr. Clover came from a liberal arts background after all. He started arguing with Barrett, citing all kinds of classics. Just when the two were arguing, Barrett glanced and found that Robin, who was lying next to him, moved his eyelids.

"Wait, the kid is awake." Barrett waved his hand to interrupt Dr. Clover and turned to look at Robin. Dr. Clover was also very considerate. When he heard Barrett say that Robin was awake, he immediately turned around and looked over.

Robin slowly opened her eyes. The light in the room made her feel a little dazzling. Her mind was a mess. She only remembered giving directions to a tall strange man who was knocking on the decorated door. Then, for some reason, some purple aura seemed to appear on the man's body. Then she heard the voice of Dr. Clover. Her memory ended here.

"Are you awake, Robin? Do you feel unwell?" Dr. Clover walked quickly forward, squatted beside the cot and asked.

"Doc? What happened?" Robin's voice was filled with a hint of a baby who had just woken up. Such soft words made people feel adorable, but also made Barrett feel a little distressed. The child was eight years old, but his height and appearance were only that of a five or six-year-old. It was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition. When he was eight years old, he was already a boy soldier. Although his life was hard and he could die at any time, at least he could eat enough and his body was strong. After all, a child who was too weak could not carry explosives.

"It's okay, kid. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Dr. Clover said in a soft voice, as if he was afraid of scaring Robin, because the child was too smart and too strong. He rarely saw Robin so weak, which made him often forget Robin's condition. What a poor child.

"I'm not hungry, and I'm not thirsty." Robin shook her head. She regained some energy and saw Barrett standing aside. The smart Robin instantly understood that Dr. Clover had a guest and it was inappropriate for her to stay here at this time. She wanted to get up and leave quickly, so even though her stomach was growling with hunger and her throat was almost smoking, she still insisted that she was fine.

"Don't hold on. Your lips are chapped. Have a glass of water." Barrett frowned at Robin's expression, took an empty cup from the side, filled a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to Robin. Robin reached out to take it, but was stopped by Barrett.

"Use your left hand. You have medicine on your right hand, so you can't move it." Barrett said. At this time, Robin also felt a coolness on her right arm. She nodded immediately and stretched out her left hand to take the cup. However, she did not drink it immediately. Instead, she said to Barrett, "Thank you, uncle." Then she raised the glass and drank.

"After you finish drinking, I'll take you to eat something. Doctor Clover, I reserve my opinion. I think you should stop your research immediately before you find someone who can protect you. You are playing with your life."

Looking at the well-behaved Robin, Barrett sighed helplessly. He never knew he was so compassionate. However, he still insisted on expressing his opinion to Dr. Clover.

"I'll consider it." Dr. Clover nodded, but as to whether he would really consider it, only God knows.
