Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 126 Saul Who Couldn't Find Robin

"Um!"

Little Robin, with candy in his mouth, nodded vigorously, and pearly tears streamed down his face.

Immediately afterwards, she buried her face deeply in Suzuki's thighs, as if this could slightly conceal her intense unease.

"Hehe~"

Suzuki smiled, glanced calmly at CP9 and Nico Olvia who were still in shock not far away, then picked up little Robin and walked over there.

"Traveler…Master Traveler..."

"Master Traveler!!"

Spandam and the CP9 members appeared somewhat flustered upon seeing Suzuki's arrival.

Spandam, in particular, had an extremely clear look of fear on his face.

He had just personally shot Dr. Clover, though he didn't know why the old man's body had turned into a cloud of white mist.

But he attacked Suzuki's friend!

Moreover, it seems that he was witnessed by his own eyes. Even though Suzuki had previously instructed them to continue as usual, Spandam still could not hide the fear in his heart.

Suzuki glanced at them casually, his expression completely unmoved.

That Dr. Clover was a fake; it was just a shadow clone of him.

Not only Dr. Clover, but everyone present, except for CP9, Robin's mother Nico Olvia, and little Robin being held by Suzuki, are all shadow clones of Suzuki!

Therefore, this scene appears incredibly tragic in the original storyline.

In Suzuki's eyes now, it's nothing more than a pre-rehearsed drama.

Of course, he couldn't possibly be angry; everyone present could be considered one of his own.

Apart from

Suzuki looked at Robin's mother, Nico Olvia, the famous archaeologist of Ohara.

This woman looks very similar to Robin when she grows up, except that Robin has black hair while hers is silver-white.

At this moment, Nicole Olvia looked quite disheveled, with dust and bloodstains clinging to her body, face, and even her silver-white hair.

She bit her lip, looking excitedly at little Robin in Suzuki's arms, and recognized her long-lost daughter at a glance.

However, Nicole Olvia didn't dare to come over, fearing that her criminal status would implicate innocent little Robin.

Suzuki glanced at the excited archaeologist and gently put little Robin down from his arms.

He gently patted Robin's head, pointed at the disheveled Nico Olvia, and said with a smile:

"Little Robin, that's your mom~"

"Go ahead, these scholars are all fake, and those seemingly vicious bad guys are all my men."

"Don't be afraid, go and talk to your mother."

As he spoke, Suzuki gently pushed Robin's back.

"Mother……"

Little Robin bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and then stumbled towards Nico Olvia.

"Mother--"

The archaeologist who had abandoned young Robin to search for the Poneglyphs suddenly forgot about his criminal status and hugged his daughter tightly.

"Robin~ My Robin, waaaaah..."

"..."

Suzuki wasn't particularly interested in the touching scene of the mother and daughter reuniting.

He beckoned to Spandam, signaling the CP9 officer to come over.

Spandam walked over nervously, his heart filled with unease.

However, Suzuki did not blame him, nor did he activate the seal to sever the root of tongue calamity. Instead, he calmly gave the order:

"You have the Golden Den Den Mushi, don't you?"

"You can press it now."

"..."

Spandam looked astonished, not understanding why Suzuki knew that the Golden Den Den Mushi was in his possession.

But soon, the CP9 officer recovered and bowed respectfully to Suzuki.

"Yes, traveler!"

Spandam pulled a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket and pressed the button on top of the shell.

Meanwhile, on a warship anchored in the waters near Ohara.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

The current Navy Admiral candidate, Akainu Sakazuki, smiled slightly after hearing the bell ring to activate the Buster Call.

Sakazuki's expression was filled with determination and ruthlessness. He immediately gave orders to the naval soldiers beside him:

"fire!"

"Sir, but those civilians haven't left yet..."

Sakazuki frowned, looking at the naval soldier who had spoken, his eyes icy cold:

"I said, fire!"

"……."

"yes!!"

The sailors on the warships sprang into action instantly, aiming their cannons at Ohara Island.

next moment……

Boom boom boom!!!

Suddenly, the sound of artillery fire erupted!

The naval warships that surrounded Ohara Island fired their cannons almost simultaneously!

The once towering canopy of the Tree of Omniscience was instantly shattered into fragments by this sudden and fierce bombardment!

Countless leaves were burned to ashes by the high-temperature flames before they could even fall.

Numerous houses were destroyed, hills were blown away, and countless flying rocks and glass shards were scattered wildly in all directions.

Many tourists and local residents of Ohara who had not yet boarded the rescue ship watched in panic as shells continued to rain down on them.

"don't want--"

"Navy! We haven't left yet, why are you firing?!"

"etc……"

"No, waaaah, I haven't boarded the ship yet!"

"Get out of my way! Don't block my path, let me go up first. I have money, I'll give you ten million Berries!"

"Run! Run!"

"Brother, brother, please have mercy! Please get off the boat and let my child board! He's only nineteen!"

"There's no more room! We're going to sink if we come any closer! Go find another rescue boat!"

"Wait, wait! Don't go!"

"Where am I supposed to look?"

"ah--"

The shells bombarded the island fiercely, and some civilians who hadn't had time to leave were instantly blasted into bloody splatter by the artillery fire.

Before the few survivors could even show a look of relief, they were instantly engulfed by the flying debris and flames!

Raging flames spread across the entire island of Ohara!

The once bustling streets, which were full of life not long ago, are now ruins, resembling a living hell!

Meanwhile, near the Tree of Omniscience.

Suzuki waved to his shadow clones, who had transformed into scholars, signaling them to hurry and rescue the books in the library.

Then they had Spandam and the members of CP9 leave the place.

"Ah, the Tree of Omniscience is on fire!"

"Oh no! Quick, protect those books!"

"..."

After reciting a few lines in a very professional manner, the shadow clones all ran towards the Tree of Omniscience.

Boom boom boom!!!

The sound of artillery fire continued incessantly, as if it would never stop.

"ah--"

Along with the bombing, painful screams and cries could be heard from time to time.

"boom……"

The artillery fire intensified, with much of it even reaching the vicinity of the Tree of Omniscience.

Suzuki stood still, his expression calm and composed, as the flying pebbles were easily blown away by the wind-blowing shells that appeared on his body.

He reminded Robin and Nico Olvia, who were crying tears of joy:

"Let's stop reminiscing, we should go."

Seeing the intense bombardment that was already upon them, little Robin nodded hastily, somewhat frightened.

"Okay! Okay! Suzuki-nii-san!"

After saying that, she took her mother Nicole Olbia's hand tightly and walked over.

"Go inside the box, you'll be fine in a little while."

Suzuki opened his mouth and spat out a large box, intending to put the mother and daughter inside and take them away.

"Thank you, Suzuki-nii-san!"

Little Robin trusted Suzuki completely and without hesitation, quickly pulled his mother into the box.

Suzuki smiled, opened his mouth, and swallowed the box again.

Boom boom boom!!!

Amidst the explosions that echoed all around, Suzuki walked calmly toward the Tree of Omniscience.

……

On the other side, the coast of Ohara Island.

Former Vice Admiral of the Navy, now a wanted criminal by the World Government—the giant Jaguar D. Saul—is anxiously searching everywhere for Robin.

"No…."

Still nothing...

"Robin, where have you gone...?"

Saul's face was full of anxiety, and he was extremely worried about Robin's safety.

"Robin—"

He ran across the island, calling out his best friend's name.

The giants are characterized by their enormous bodies, which are not only tall but also powerful, and they run like human tanks.

Moreover, Sauro's every step covered an extremely long distance, and each step seemed to generate a stronger vibration in the ground than a cannonball.

however……

"Sauro!"

"Come back with me, and I'll plead for you."

The voice of Admiral Candidate Aokiji Kuzan rang out, and his figure appeared unnoticed in front of the giant vice admiral.

"Kuzan!"

"Could you please not stop me? I'll go back and turn myself in after I find my friend, okay?"

Saul's steps abruptly halted; Aokiji's strength was far beyond his ability to resist.

Therefore, he looked at his former friend with a pleading expression, hoping that Aokiji would let him leave.

"No!"

"You should have known what the consequences would be when you let that scholar go without permission."

Aokiji shook his head.

Although he didn't know what friends Sauro had on Ohara Island, letting him go was out of the question.

Regardless, Saul has now defected from the Navy and is a criminal.

"Kuzan!"

"Are you proud of this attack? You've got it backwards."

"This is too strange. You should know that this is a warning to others, and the government is willing to wipe out the entire Ohara for this purpose..."

Upon hearing this, Sauro roared in anger.

Aokiji answered patiently with a calm expression:

"For the sake of the world's future development, there's no other way!"

"The world government has given those scholars many chances long ago, and has consistently warned them sternly not to conduct any more research!"

"Those scholars did break the law, didn't they?"
