How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 220 Be my daughter!

at the same time.

Countless marines, from all over the city of Alabasta, gathered towards the palace, causing bursts of exclamations.

Kizaru, the commander-in-chief, had also been notified long ago.

He picked up the coat from the chair and put it on his shoulders, then prepared to go after Robin.

But he stopped because of a bounty placed on the table.

"Nicole-Robin..."

"If it really is this woman, things will be difficult."

Looking at the still young face on the bounty order, Kizaru's eyes were complicated.

What happened in O'Hara was no secret within the Navy, or among the Navy's top brass.

When Aokiji intended to let Robin go, it was suppressed by Sengoku himself. Otherwise, just this one mistake would have doomed Aokiji to never be able to take the position of admiral of the navy.

Kizaru naturally knew this very well.

"This really poses a problem for me. This is clearly the mess left by Kuzan~"

"Forget it. That guy was going to come here anyway, so I can just give him this hot potato. Besides..."

Kizaru pushed his glasses up, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes:
"Crocodile, Knight Gawain, and Golden Lion, if there is something that can attract these three to appear in Alabasta at the same time."

"A woman who can interpret the text of history should be enough, right?!"

"If this is the case, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Lord Porusalino!"

Sudden.

A serious voice interrupted Kizaru's thoughts and he turned around.

Then I saw a tall, serious-looking naval officer standing at the door with a serious look on his face.

"We have sealed off the Alabasta Palace. Please act quickly!"

"Ah la ah la~"

"Don't be so impatient~"

Huang Yuan sighed, and without staying any longer, he turned around and left quickly.

Squeak~!

The door is closed.

A breeze blew up the wanted poster on the table. Printed on the wanted poster was a picture of young Robin crying in the gunfire.

How could such a person have the ability to destroy O'Hara? !

……

Alabasta Palace.

The noise outside the window had already woken Robin up.

She raised her hand to pull out the IV tube from her body, barely propped herself up, and looked out through the gap in the window.

All that could be seen were the marines gathering in dense masses like a colony of ants.

They were dressed in pure white uniforms and held high the flag of justice, just like the so-called righteous Marines who burned O'Hara to death.

The familiar scene made Robin bite his lips subconsciously:
"Has this day finally come?"

"People like me, even if I just exist, will cause trouble for my companions around me?!"

At this moment, Robin felt a chill that penetrated deep into her bones, so much so that her body began to tremble slightly.

Her experiences in Alabasta during this period, whether it was Cobra's kindness or Gawain's sincere recruitment and care, seemed like a dream to her.

And now the dream is over.

Robin suddenly realized.

She was still alone, no different from the girl who desperately escaped from the channel that Aokiji had opened in the sea of ​​fire.

"How can someone like me have a true companion?!"

"Betrayal, escape, and finally die like a stray dog ​​in some unknown corner. Isn't that my final destination?!"

As Robin muttered to herself, she bit her lip subconsciously, and bright red blood flowed out.

After counting the breaths.

Robin's eyes gradually became firm:

"Alabasta has just recovered from its trauma and can no longer afford another injury. The captain still has the dream of creating an ideal place and cannot lose his status as a Shichibukai."

"If we want to solve the current problem, I have to do everything by myself--!"

boom--!
After a loud bang, the window of the ward suddenly shattered.

Robin closed his eyes subconsciously, but a familiar voice came to his ears:

"We can't stay in this crappy place anymore."

"Come with me!"

There was an air of unquestionability in the voice, and it even seemed particularly cold and hard.

But at this moment, Robin felt an inexplicable warmth.

Her heart was filled.

"captain?"

Robin slowly opened his eyes and saw Gao Wenzheng standing on the windowsill, looking at him calmly.

"This time it was my oversight."

"Your identity is sensitive. Once discovered by the navy, you will be hunted endlessly."

"We should withdraw."

"Captain, you..."

Robin opened his mouth and tried several times, but no sound came out. In the end, he could only stammer:

"If you take me in once we're discovered by the navy, I won't be able to keep my status as a Shichibukai, and even my Utopia will be gone..."

"What nonsense!"

Gao Wen curled his lips:

"Once you're on my ship, you're mine. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"I can't leave."

Robin shook his head.

She knew how great a risk Gawain took to come and save her this time.

He also knew that as long as he nodded at this moment, Gawain would definitely lead him out of the siege, and he would be able to find the place of sacrifice he had always hoped for.

You will have companions and your own destination.

But... what is the price? If Gawain withdraws at this point in time, it will undoubtedly confirm the fact that Gawain has taken him in.

Gawain will lose his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. With the combat power he has demonstrated now, it is not impossible that his bounty will soar to one billion or even two billion. Then, the next person to make a move on him will be the admiral of the navy.

The dream of building an utopia will also encounter resistance.

Alabasta, who had just been reborn from the crisis, would be imprisoned because of his involvement, and Cobra, who saved him regardless of past grudges, would also lose everything.

Relative to these.

Isn't sacrificing a person who deserves to die the most cost-effective option?
"The best solution now is for me to take all the responsibility."

The sound fell to the ground.

The ward was quiet for a moment, the only sound being the approaching footsteps of the marines, and the palace was gradually becoming chaotic.

In the ward, the two confronted each other.

Gawain's gaze fell on Robin, and as he watched her pretending to be strong, he sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, even if it is hidden well, it still has the tendency to self-destruct?
In the original work, Robin showed this trait when she chose to make a deal with the CP organization at the cost of herself in order to save the Straw Hat Pirates.

At this moment, Robin made the same decision again in order to save Gawain and the Alabasta royal family.

to be frank.

If this had happened before Robin nodded, Gawain would definitely have chosen to stand by and watch.

But now it is different. As the captain, Gawain absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch his crew encounter such a thing.

and.

Gawain knew better.

At this moment, what Robin really needs is someone who can stand firmly in front of her and tell her that I hope you can live.

This is also proven in the original work.

The increasingly agitated sounds outside the window made Gawain lose his patience. He pointed two fingers at Robin and said coldly:
"I'm giving you two choices now. Either you follow me now, or I knock you out and take you away by force."

"Captain, why would you go to such lengths for someone like me?"

Robin's voice was trembling at this moment.

Because the last person who had told him so firmly that he must live had already disappeared without a trace along with the O'Hara fire.

At this moment, two figures overlapped in front of Robin.

Alabasta also overlaps with O'Hara, which was burned in the fire.

She didn't want to experience that kind of tragedy again.

"What about Alabasta?!"

"I'll take you away. The Navy's target is naturally us. If Cobra has a bit of brains, he will know that it's time to put the blame on us..."

"Ahem—!"

Accompanied by a dry cough.

Cobra opened the door and walked in awkwardly.

Weiwei, who was standing next to him, turned her head and whistled, pretending to have no idea what was going on.

"Stop pretending."

Gao Wen directly exposed the two's disguise:
"That's what I just said for you guys to hear."

Cobra forced a smile, nodded at Robin and said:

"If you are willing to believe me, I have a way that can protect Robin and keep you from being targeted by the navy."

Robin's eyes fell on Gawain.

She had thought that since the destruction of O'Hara, no one would be so determined to keep herself alive, but Gawain was an exception.

At this moment.

If she had a choice, she would only want to live forever, stay with Gawain, and see what the utopia that Gawain promised would be like.

What she didn't notice was that her cheeks had turned red and her heart was beating frighteningly fast.

Gawain looked at Cobra and said calmly:
"Tell me."

"Be my daughter, Robin!"

Gao Wen was stunned:
"Do you think you are Whitebeard?!"

"Forehead……"

Cobra scratched his head awkwardly.

Gawain and Robin already understood what he meant. Robin hesitated:

“Is it possible?!”

Cobra nodded:
"If it's exposed..."

Halfway through his speech, he looked at Gawain:
"Then try to break through again, and I'll put the blame on you!"

"Forehead……"

……

A few minutes later.

Kizaru led a group of marines and forced open the door of the ward.

Everyone filed in.

Kizaru's accompanying adjutant walked quickly into the ward. He was about to read out Robin's crimes over the years.

"Nico Robin, you are under arrest..."

Halfway through.

The adjutant's voice became smaller and smaller, because Cobra was sitting in front of Robin's bed, feeding her with her own hands the medicine to regulate her body.

Snapped!
Cobra put down the medicine bowl in his hand, turned his head and looked at the marines with a cold expression:

"Can you explain to me what is going on?!"

"Even the navy cannot barge into the Alabasta palace at will."

"Although the Nefertari family did not take over Marijoa, the blood of God flows in our veins."

"If your explanation does not satisfy me, I will personally submit the complaint regarding this matter to the World Government, no, to the desks of those five people."

"Lord Cobra, I...I..."

Faced with Cobra's questioning, the adjutant was stunned on the spot, stammering when speaking, and even wanted to slap himself twice in his heart.

"Ah la~"

"You step back first."

Kizaru raised his hand and patted his adjutant on the shoulder. The latter hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned. Kizaru then turned to look at Cobra:
"Someone reported that Nico Robin is in the Alabasta Palace."
