Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Ah, that's what the sea kings said."

Luffy laughed, "I didn't expect there to be Poneglyphs here too."

"Brother Luffy, you know this too?" Jinbe was stunned.

Currently, Robin is probably the only person who knows the Poneglyphs.

"I taught him."

"It's all thanks to Robin's excellent teaching."

The two spoke in unison.

Jinbe: "..."

Is it possible for someone to learn something just by being taught? If that were the case, Robin wouldn't be the only one in the world who knows how to translate the Poneglyphs.

"This is an apology."

Robin said softly, "It's an apology letter that Joy Boy wrote to the mermaid princess eight hundred years ago."

Luffy glanced at it.

The text above describes the promise between Joy Boy and the Little Mermaid.

They originally planned to build a giant ship, Noah, to carry all the fish-men and mermaids to live on land, but the plan failed.

In the article, Joy Boy expressed his apology and promised that one day someone would fulfill this promise.

"It's a promise."

Luffy sat down cross-legged. "That sounds similar to the agreement between me and Laboon."

"really."

Robin smiled. "History always repeats itself."

......

Deep within the Sea Forest, a massive red historical inscription stone stands silently, surrounded by swaying, glowing seaweed and coral reefs.

Jinbe and Nika had already left, leaving only Luffy and Robin.

Collecting the Poneglyphs was Robin's wish, so after learning that the Sea Kings said there were Poneglyphs here, Luffy brought Robin over.

However, while Robin was watching, Luffy lay listlessly on the soft seaweed beside him, his hands behind his head and his eyes closed.

Now, regarding fruit development.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Nika Fruit have clearly been developed to their fullest potential.

Earthquake. World.

Nika form.

These are the techniques used when two Devil Fruits awaken.

What else can be developed?

Luffy didn't know either, so he could only keep thinking. In any case, the time for developing his Devil Fruit was a rare period of rest for him.

The water in the Sea Forest flows gently, and the light refracts through the seawater to create a dazzling array of colors. The environment is so quiet that it makes you want to drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, Luffy felt an itch on his face, as if something soft was gently brushing against it.

He opened his eyes groggily, only to be plunged into darkness, when a pair of warm hands covered his eyes.

"Have you finished watching?" Luffy paused for a moment, then asked instinctively.

"Ah."

Robin's voice came from the side, with a hint of a smile.

Luffy wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Robin's breathing seemed very close, her warm breath brushing against his ear.

Then, a certain part of his body reacted rather uncooperatively.

“Robin, that…”

"Ara, Nami is right, you really are a pervert."

The covered eyes were opened, revealing that it was just Robin's Flower Flower Fruit.

Ahead, Robin stood with his arms crossed, squinting as he sized him up.

Today, she wore her signature purple dress, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, looking exceptionally beautiful in the shimmering light of the seabed.

That was a complete entrapment operation.

"You were the first one!" Luffy retorted.

"Then let's give it a try."

Robin remained noncommittal, but simply reached out and gently took Luffy's wrist.

"Try what?"

Before Luffy could react, Robin pulled him deeper into the Sea Forest.

This inexplicable sense of déjà vu made him involuntarily shudder.

After passing through a shimmering coral reef, the two arrived at a relatively secluded clearing. Tall coral trees formed a natural barrier around them, with only a few rays of light filtering through the gaps.

Robin released Luffy's hand, sat down naturally, and then began to take off her shoes, slowly untying the straps to reveal her slender feet encased in black stockings.

The stockings shimmered faintly in the underwater light, and the curves of the ankles were so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

What are you standing there for?

Robin looked up at him with a smile. "Want to come closer and take a look? Foot fetish."

"This must be what Nami said."

Luffy felt that his reputation had been tarnished, but he had no way to refute it.

Two years ago, when I first went into the forest with Robin, all our clothes were torn to shreds.

You can't exactly say he tore it up when he was in a fit of rage.

It's a case of the smaller head controlling the larger head.

"That historical text isn't what I'm looking for either."

"I see. We'll definitely find it eventually."

"Actually, I have something I want to do more than finding out the history of this world."

"What?" Luffy didn't quite understand.

Robin smiled, not answering directly, but instead reaching out and gently touching Luffy's cheek: "Just like now."

"Robin, you....."

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Robin leaned in and kissed his lips.

Gentle and brief, Robin quickly stepped back, but Luffy could sense that her breathing was somewhat rapid.

"Hey, what are you doing with your hands right now?" Robin asked Luffy with a smile.

"Isn't this a natural reaction?" Luffy had one hand on Robin's black stockings, while his other hand had involuntarily wrapped around Robin's waist.

Robin sensed the disturbance and smiled indulgently.

Once you've tasted the sweetness, you'll crave more; it's something you can't control.

Anyway, whenever she has time, she drags Luffy here. She's already made an appointment with Nami, so it'll be once for each of them.

Before anyone else joined.

For example, Vivi.

The relationship between the two developed naturally and naturally, and Robin was quite open-minded about what would happen to Luffy in the future.

That's just how pirates are.

She wants to go on an adventure with Luffy and see him become the Pirate King.

As for what will happen next?

Luffy will definitely be running around everywhere and can't stand being alone, so she'll probably follow him around the whole time.

Traveling and adventuring around the world is also a good thing.

Even after a long time, the warmth remained.

Robin tied up Luffy's loose hair and helped him stand up.

"That's about it,"

She tidied her slightly messy hair. "If we stay any longer, Nami will start to get suspicious."

"What do you suspect?"

Luffy hadn't fully recovered from the excitement he'd just been feeling.

Robin gave him a meaningful look: "What do you think?"

Luffy touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly.

The two straightened their clothes and walked out of the coral reef one after the other.

.......

It was already quite late when we got back to the Sunny.

The ship is anchored near Fishman Island, and will officially set sail for the New World tomorrow.

As soon as Luffy boarded the ship, he went straight to the training room.

Physical training really can't be relaxed for a moment.

Otherwise, Nami and Robin could really teach him a lesson in certain aspects.

After getting used to exercising, it feels really great to work up a sweat every day.

This is what Zoro saw when he pushed the door open and came in.

"No, are you practicing this late?"
