One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

At her own speed, she had no confidence that she could escape.

Moreover, if they try to escape, they will definitely be discovered, and the likely outcome of being discovered is death.

Hiding away actually increases the chances of survival.

The fighting outside stopped, and everything returned to calm.

The secretary seemed lost in thought, her mind replaying scenes of battles she couldn't even imagine.

"If someone with that kind of power were willing to protect me, wouldn't everything be different?"

This thought suddenly popped into her head.

But she immediately shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

Why?

Why should others protect you if you can't create enough value?

It's more likely that they'll hand her over directly to the Navy or the World Government, or perhaps they'll use her to unlock the Poneglyphs.

The latter seems acceptable, but in reality, if she encountered someone with malicious intentions, she would absolutely not become an accomplice to evil and let her knowledge bring disaster to the world.

Just as I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

The secretary was startled and huddled even more tightly, covering her mouth in self-deception.

But the door was still opened.

"Come out, I know you're hiding inside."

"Also, I have a bad temper, so... you know what I mean."

Soon, a commotion came from inside, and the secretary came out looking frightened.

"Please don't kill me. I don't know anything, I didn't see anything, please."

"Your acting is good, but let's put that aside and talk somewhere else, Ms. Nicole Robin."

It was discovered!

Once Nico Robin's true identity was exposed, her first instinct was to use the Flower Flower Fruit to attack her opponent and create an opportunity to escape.

But after recalling the warning she had received earlier, she forcibly suppressed the impulse.

Chapter 331 The Best Hiding Place

"Very good, it seems you listened to what I just said. I like smart people, and this has bought you a chance to survive."

Abel nodded with some approval.

Now that luck had brought him to this son of the devil, he certainly wouldn't let him go.

As a combatant, Robin might not be considered qualified.

However, jobs like secretary or housekeeper are also important and very suitable for her.

And Abel did indeed need such a helper.

Robin followed obediently behind him the whole way, seemingly having given up on escaping.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Having witnessed the opponent's monstrous strength, she knew that she had no other way out but to compromise.

The fact that the other party didn't kill her directly boils down to one of the two possibilities.

First, you must survive; only then can you have hope!

Robin, who had covered her face, kept reassuring herself.

Back on the ship, Abel first decided on the next destination, and then ordered the kitchen to get to work.

Then he went to see the son of the devil alone.

“Gustavus Abel, that’s my name. You can call me Abel or Boss.”

"I understand, boss."

Hearing this, Robin felt relieved and immediately called out "Boss" without hesitation.

Anyway, she's had so many bosses over the years, one more wouldn't matter.

As long as she isn't handed over to the Navy or the World Government, it's fine.

This is already a result that she can accept.

As for who she works for or what she is asked to do, she doesn't really care.

Abel didn't need to guess to know what the other person was thinking.

But he didn't care either.

Once the other person realizes that staying by his side can indeed provide protection, he probably won't leave even if you try to get rid of her.

Moreover, he also possessed what the other party wanted.

Perhaps he thought Robin was easier to control, so he didn't even intend to waste the last "Contract to Dominate Demons" on her.

That's right, using it would be a waste.

"Your identity is too sensitive. I will send you to a completely safe place where your job will be to assist a guy named Enel in managing a country."

"When the time is right, I will summon you again."

"Okay, boss."

Robin had no objections, only slightly surprised that the other party was actually in control of a country.

But this is good too. I don't have to do things against my conscience that I don't want to do, and I can hide my identity and live a peaceful life.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that following a boss like that might not be so bad.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party did not lie to her.

Abel suddenly took out a piece of cloth and placed it on the table. “This is your advance payment to build a foundation of trust. You can open it and take a look.”

Robin opened it with some confusion, then her pupils instantly contracted. This was... a piece of the Poneglyph?!

There's no mistake, she even often sees these words in her dreams.

But as she explained each point, her expression became increasingly serious.

Because it records the location of the ancient weapon, Poseidon!

Could this be their real purpose?!

Robin did not doubt the authenticity of the rubbing, because with the destruction of Ohara, there were almost no people in the world who could forge the contents of the Poneglyphs, except for herself.

Silence suddenly fell over the room.

Robin racked his brains, trying to fabricate a false statement: "It describes the customs and culture of a country that has long since disappeared..."

"Oh, really? I thought it would mention where the ancient weapon Poseidon was hidden."

Robin's body suddenly stiffened, but she still stubbornly insisted, "This part doesn't mention any information about the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. Perhaps it's hidden in other parts."

Abel couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that.

"Hahaha, although you're good at lying and have a good mentality, has anyone ever told you that your heart beats very fast when you lie?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. If you don't believe me, that's fine too."

Robin had no intention of telling the truth.

Abel stopped teasing her. "Fine, whatever you want. I don't care if this describes the customs and culture of some country or the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Sea King."

"Do you remember what I said before? This is your payment in advance. I'm not interested in the contents of this document, and you don't need to tell me anything about it."

"Oh, right, this is only a rubbing of one-third of the original historical text."

"As long as you work diligently for me, I will give you one-third of it every year as compensation."

"Furthermore, I also know the whereabouts of several other historical texts. Maybe one day when I'm in a good mood, I'll go and make rubbings of them."

"Of course, you can think I'm bragging, believe it or not."

He drew this huge pie directly for Robin.

As long as the other party still wants to find the historical texts, they will absolutely be unable to resist this temptation.

As for the Poneglyph on Skypiea, he had Enel move it to another location to ensure that no one could find it.

Sure enough, Robin couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"

Time will tell.

Robin nodded and said nothing more.

Regardless of whether it's a scheme or a trap, she's willing to take the risk.

After all, the historical texts she can see must be genuine.

And as long as she is unwilling to tell the truth, no one can get the real historical text from her.

This is also the source of her confidence.

Several days later, Abel and his crew returned from the West Blue to the first half of the Grand Line, and then arrived at Jaya Island.

After finding a secluded spot, Abel contacted Enel, who was staying on the Sky Island, and asked him to come down and pick him up.

A moment later, a bolt of lightning struck near them.

It was Enel, who had become the new god of Skypiea!

"This is my newly recruited butler, Nico Robin. She will assist you in managing the Sky Island from now on."

"This guy is called Enel. He likes to call himself a god. He usually lives on a sky island 10,000 meters above us. Almost no one there will know your identity. You can live there in peace."

Abel introduced the two to each other.

Enel was a little unhappy, but he couldn't refuse Abel's order.

Robin was shocked. There was an island 10,000 meters above the ground?
