Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 129 The Question Before Leaving

Upon hearing that Vegapunk already possessed the technology to copy Devil Fruits, Suzuki's eyes deepened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

He then continued chatting casually with the two of them as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, let's stop being so down!"

"Let's go thank our benefactor!"

After a short while, the group of scholars from Ohara finally managed to recover from their grief.

Dr. Clover led them here, and the group of scholars began to express their gratitude to Suzuki for saving their lives.

……

Near the Tree of Omniscience.

After a long while, the crowd's expressions of gratitude finally subsided.

Suzuki looked at Robin and the group of scholars, pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision.

Suzuki turned to Monkey D. Dragon and said:

"Mr. Long, these scholars are already criminals."

"Furthermore, the World Government doesn't know they're still alive. What if the World Government finds out?"

"These scholars, who are powerless to even kill a chicken, probably have no power to resist. I can't just stand by and watch the people I finally managed to save face the threat of death again."

"But I simply don't have the ability to take good care of them."

"So, Mr. Long, didn't you say you were planning to start your own organization?"

"Could we bring these scholars along?"

Suzuki had no interest in these scholars.

While some of these scholars are quite capable, most are simply a burden, a liability.

Besides, he has already boarded Vegapunk's ship, which is the greatest use these Ohara scholars can currently offer.

Therefore, Suzuki planned to throw Little Robin and the scholars to Monkey D. Dragon.

After all, from any perspective, this monster-level powerhouse who is about to create the Revolutionary Army is the best candidate to take in students and Robin.

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, Monkey D. Dragon was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy.

He looked at Suzuki and said gratefully again:

"Okay, no problem!"

"Thank you, Suzuki. The arrival of these scholars has been a lifesaver!"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them!"

Monkey D. Dragon's Revolutionary Army, which he is about to establish, aims to overthrow the World Government.

These scholars who understood ancient scripts were very important and helpful to him.

Suzuki smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Then, he looked at the Ohara scholars standing to the side and said gently:

"Gentlemen, how about you all follow Mr. Long from now on?"

"Mr. Long is very strong, at least much stronger than me right now. Under his protection, I don't need to worry about safety."

"Moreover, Mr. Long's dream, and what he is about to do, will probably lead to the same goal as yours, albeit by different means."

"Helping the weak and uncovering the truth—the root of all these conflicts lies in the world government that launched the Buster Call against Ohara without any mercy."

"As I just said, you have already died in the open as criminals."

"We need to be careful when conducting research in the future, so that the world government doesn't discover it."

"They say that you learn a lot when you die. Don't be so stubborn in the future. Although Mr. Dragon is powerful, he is not capable of confronting the World Government head-on."

These scholars from Ohara used to be very stubborn, ignoring several stern warnings from the World Government and continuing to do as they pleased.

Therefore, Suzuki made it clear in advance that he hoped these people would cause less trouble for Monkey D. Dragon in the future, so as not to accidentally implicate Robin again.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Absolutely not! Don't worry!"

"I will never forget what happened in O'Hara, and it will always serve as a reminder to me..."

"Thanks!!"

"Thanks!!"

Upon hearing Suzuki's warning and reminder, the scholars of Ohara nodded hurriedly, their expressions filled with determination.

At the same time, Dr. Clover came over, shook Suzuki's hand, and thanked him:

"Thank you, Suzuki!"

"I know Dragon, and I'm also on good terms with Vegapunk."

"Don't worry, we'll never do anything foolish again, and we won't let you down for saving our lives!"

At this moment, Robin, who had just overheard the conversation, quickly ran over and grabbed Suzuki's trouser leg, raising her little face and saying reluctantly:

"Suzuki-nii-san, are you leaving already?"

Suzuki gently patted Robin's head and said with a smile:

"Yes, don't worry, Mr. Long is a very nice person."

"From now on, you, your mother, and Dr. Clover will probably never be separated again."

Because of Suzuki's arrival, Robin's tragic fate has been completely rewritten in this Ohara incident!

Her mother, Nicole Olbia, did not die in front of her.

My dearest Dr. Clover is still alive and well, and many of the scholarly elders I know in Ohara are still around.

In fact, Robin had never even encountered Admiral Aokiji!

The little girl who was originally destined to suffer the pain of losing her family and friends, and who was wanted by the World Government but had to live in fear and anxiety every day in order to carry on the legacy of Ohara, has embarked on a completely new path.

If nothing unexpected happens, Robin will grow up happily at Monkey D. Dragon's base, accompanied by her mother and Professor Clover.

Never again will I have to go through those twenty years of hiding...

"Waaaaah... Suzuki-nii-san..."

"I can't bear to part with you..."

Looking at little Robin, who buried his face in his trouser leg again and cried while clinging to his leg, I could feel his reluctance.

Suzuki took a bag of candy from his pocket, put it in her hand, and continued gently:

"Don't cry, we'll meet again someday on the high seas."

"We should learn from the scholars and listen to Dr. Clover."

"Also, didn't you eat a Devil Fruit? Remember to ask Mr. Dragon for advice more often in the future."

"Only by possessing great power can one better protect what one wants to safeguard."

"Strive to become a scholar who is both capable and knowledgeable."

"Go for it, Robin!"

After saying that, Suzuki picked up little Robin and handed her to her mother, Nico Olvia.

Looking at the group of scholars from Ohara, as well as Monkey D. Dragon and Vegapunk, Suzuki waved to them, smiling gently as he said goodbye:

Goodbye, everyone.

Then, he turned slightly...

However, just as Monkey D. Dragon and Vegapunk were about to say goodbye...

Suzuki seemed to have remembered something.

He suddenly turned back and looked at Vegapunk standing to the side.

Suzuki asked earnestly:

"Mr. Vegapunk, I've heard you mention your research on artificial Devil Fruits before. I never knew they could be made artificially! That's truly amazing!"

"I've never even heard of this technology before!"

"Could I have a copy of that Devil Fruit replication technology?"

"..."

Upon hearing Suzuki's request, Vegapunk looked somewhat taken aback.

Although he had a fairly good impression of Suzuki, this kind of technology shouldn't be given away so easily, right?

Vegapunk turned to look at Monkey D. Dragon beside him.

The future leader of the revolutionary army looked somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Suzuki to make such a request just as he was about to leave...

It must be said that the timing was very clever.

Suzuki had just entrusted the scholars to him, which would be a great help to his future plans!

and……

The people from Ohara who were rescued are now watching from the sidelines.

Monkey D. Dragon's face showed a conflicted expression, indicating some hesitation.

However, after glancing at the many scholars standing nearby, their faces full of gratitude, he finally nodded to Vegapunk.

Seeing this, Vegapunk made his decision.
