Chapter 466 Enel is going to set sail!
Boring, so incredibly boring.
On the Sky Island, Enel sat on his throne, resting his chin on his hand, idly eavesdropping on the voices of everyone on the island.
He had always thought this was the life he wanted.
But once he actually got it, he found that life was far less exciting than he had imagined.
Especially when he wanted to have some fun, there was always some awful woman who would stop him with all sorts of excuses.
But he didn't dare do anything to this woman.
This was simply because the woman was the boss's 'housekeeper' sent to assist and supervise him.
"Enel, come here for a moment, the boss has sent a message."
Suddenly, Enel heard someone call his name.
On the entire floating island, only that woman dared to call him by his name.
He was about to pretend he hadn't heard, but then his boss messaged him.
Enel instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.
Somewhere on a sky island, Robin, who has just finished a day's work, is waiting for someone to arrive.
Then a bolt of lightning struck in front of her, transforming into Enel's appearance.
"What message did the boss send?"
"The boss has arrived at Jaya Island below. Let's go there."
"Go down there, that's good. My body feels a bit rusty lately, so it would be best if I could find some fun."
Robin had already entered a box, which was wrapped in insulating rubber to prevent electric shock.
Enel then immediately elementalized, enveloping the box and transforming into a bolt of lightning before flying away.
Before long, the two arrived at Jaya Island below from the Sky Island.
Enel used his 'Mind Network' to scan and immediately locked onto Abel's location, then landed instantly.
"Boss, we are here."
Enel always acted arrogantly towards others, but he was very well-behaved and polite only when facing Abel.
Then Robin came out of the box and greeted Abel.
Abel didn't waste any words and handed a stack of rubbings to Robin.
"This is……"
Although Robin had already guessed it, she was still extremely surprised.
Because this quantity seems to be different from what was agreed upon before.
It's not that there's too little, it's that there's too much!
"This is the full rubbing of the previous historical text. You can tell whether it's real or fake at a glance."
Robin quickly replied, "I'm not doubting its authenticity, I just want to know why they gave it all to me at once? After all, the agreed-upon 'reward' wasn't this much, was it?"
She was worried that the other party would use these extra 'rewards' to force her to do things she didn't want to do.
That's why she feels both excited and nervous right now.
In truth, she had a very comfortable time on the Sky Island.
The people there were kind and simple, and none of them knew her or her past.
There, she didn't need to hide or pretend; she could live like a normal, ordinary person and laugh.
The daily work is supposed to be managing the country, but it's really just dealing with trivial daily matters.
Unfortunately, the entire Sky Island isn't very large, and its population is limited.
Furthermore, with Enel being the only designated true god of Skypiea at present, the deterrent power is simply off the charts.
So much so that Robin's most troublesome task every day was persuading Enel not to cause trouble.
It really makes me cry.
But this life is hundreds of times better than before, so she likes it very much and doesn't want any changes.
But she knew that was impossible; she couldn't live such a peaceful life hiding on the sky island forever.
Sooner or later, she will return to that familiar ocean and continue as Nico Robin.
"Do you remember what I said? If you work hard for me, you will receive extra rewards in addition to your due compensation."
"You've managed Skypiea well, and most importantly, you haven't let Enel run rampant. You've done an excellent job in that regard."
"So besides next year's salary, the rest is extra rewards for you."
"In addition, I have found two more historical texts during this period, which should be more than enough to pay you for working for me for the next few years."
"If you want to see it sooner, then give it your all and work even harder for me."
"I'm never stingy with my own people."
As Abel spoke, he took out two more rubbings and deliberately showed them to Robin.
Then, just as Robin's eyes lit up, he decisively put it away.
He was far too adept at using the tactic of making empty promises.
With no worries, Robin, realizing she had been overthinking things, immediately smiled brightly. "Please rest assured, boss, I will always be your most loyal employee."
Abel nodded slightly, of course, he could just take those words with a grain of salt and didn't need to believe them.
The only people he truly trusts now are the three who signed the "Contract to Dominate Demons".
As for the rest... he was unwilling to test people's hearts.
Because the human heart is the most vulnerable thing to temptation.
"Very good, I've remembered what you said today."
"Enel, did you tell me last time that you didn't want to stay on Skypiea anymore?"
Enel nodded hesitantly, then said, "Actually, I want to build the Ark Maxim and go to the Infinite Land to take a look."
Damn it, I knew it.
This guy got tired of being in space and started thinking about going to the moon.
Do I need you to go to the moon and become king?
Abel immediately straightened his face and said, "It's not the right time yet. When the time is right, I will go with you to see the infinite land."
Enel seemed to know that his boss was unlikely to agree, so he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Then can I form a pirate crew and set sail?"
"reason."
"I'm getting a little bored, but I can't seem to find anything to have fun with..."
Enel glared at Robin with some resentment, then continued, "And while you're at it, go steal some gold. You need a lot of gold to build the Ark Maxim, but you've taken all the gold from Skypiea."
By the end, Enel's tone even carried a hint of resentment.
Abel coughed twice, interrupting Enel's complaints.
“Okay, I agree. But Robin must stay by your side. You can make your own decisions most of the time, but if Robin stops you from doing something, you must obey. Her orders are my orders.”
"Either stay on the Sky Island and be your native god, or do it this way. The choice is yours."
Given Enel's arrogant nature, he needs to be put in some kind of restraint, otherwise he'll cause a huge mess in no time.
Abel didn't want to suddenly see shocking news in the newspaper that this guy had killed several Celestial Dragons.
Robin, on the other hand, is different. Although she is still young, she has experienced a lot and is very mature and reliable.
Abel could rest assured with her watching over Enel.
Chapter 467 The Desperate Martian Cockroach
After much deliberation, Enel decided to set sail.
Since he's going to be under Robin's control anyway, instead of living a boring life on the Sky Island every day, he might as well go out to sea to find some fun for himself and collect some gold so that he can use it to build the Ark Maxim later.
Besides, didn't the boss say that normally he makes the decisions?
Surely that wretched woman Robin wouldn't completely forbid him from doing anything?
Having worked together for so long, Enel has also discovered that although this woman is somewhat detestable, she has always been very measured in her actions.
Otherwise, Enel would have already lost his temper, and he wouldn't have kept saying that Robin was an annoying woman, yet never asked Abel to find someone else.
This shows that the two have developed a certain level of understanding.
For example, when should we step in to stop him, and when should we let him vent?
It was precisely because Abel saw this that he had Robin continue to watch over Enel to prevent him from causing any major trouble.
Even if they really wanted to fight the Celestial Dragons, it wouldn't be at this stage where they were completely unprepared.
Although Robin sighed inwardly, knowing that her peaceful days were gone forever, she didn't say anything and readily agreed.
After all, as an employee, one should have the mindset of being a worker.
The boss has already assigned her new work, and she has to do it even if she's a hundred times unwilling, unless she doesn't want to work there anymore.
But here's the problem: she currently feels quite relaxed and happy being in Abel's 'startup team,' and there aren't any messy or chaotic things going on.
Since she needed a powerful ally to protect her no matter what, she wasn't planning to jump ship and escape before the ship sank.
Because she and Abel had also established a certain foundation of trust.
Not to mention that Abel had many Poneglyphs that she needed.
