281.

2023-11-16

The Navy is a military organization created by the World Government. This nature also determines that there is a lack of information flow within the Navy.

Many secrets are blocked by military ranks.

At the Naval Academy, students were only exposed to the most basic information, and as for O'Hara, most of the Navy had no idea what was going on there.

Let me describe the rules of something like the Demon Slayer Order.

It was established by the Navy Headquarters authorized by the World Government and will carry out indiscriminate and destructive attacks on any area that sends a signal, regardless of the reason.

This is the rule of the Demon Slayer Order.

As long as the Demon-Slaying Order is issued, a destructive operation will be launched. Among the officers who carry out the operation, only naval officers of the rank of lieutenant general will know some of the secrets and have certain strength and rights to question the order.

Navy officers below the rank of vice admiral lived in a world where information was blocked. Even if the Demon Killing Order was aimed at the Judicial Island, the soldiers on the warships only issued the artillery fire order in hesitation.

For low-level soldiers like Tashigi, they live in a box world where information is blocked. Therefore, when they think of Robin, they will think of the introduction on the wanted poster: she destroyed six naval warships at the age of only eight and was a very powerful devil fruit user.

Dashigi subconsciously grasped the weapon.

In Tashigi's eyes, Robin is a real villain pirate, completely different from people like Uta who claim to be pirates. Moreover, she has never lived with Robin.

People like Tashigi are just ordinary navy members who grew up under the leadership of the World Government.

They will follow the orders of their superiors and not violate the rules too much. In addition, they will believe in the credibility of the World Government. Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Tashigi, thinks that although these guys are dangerous, they... will not do evil.

She didn't know why Luffy went to find the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile, and only Vivi guessed a little based on the clues from mind reading.

After all, they are the pirates who have been pacified by the World Government.

The [Seven Warlords of the Sea] are pirates who specialize in dealing with pirates. This is how the World Government promotes them.

With the power of "credibility" that has been maintained for eight hundred years, everyone believes this.

"Are you going to arrest me?"

Robin asked with a gentle smile, crossing his arms and ready to release his ability. A marine soldier of Tashigi's level could be knocked down in one round by Robin.

"Tashigi, put down your weapons. We can't attack the Shichibukai. Isn't that what the rules say?" Luffy said.

"She is... Crocodile's person?"

Tashigi realized it later. This was the first time she felt the conflict of rules. As a marine, she was allowed to arrest criminals who did evil, but she was not allowed to fight against the Shichibukai.

The two conflicting concepts intertwined in her mind for a moment, and she finally hesitated and let go of the hand that was touching the sword.

Because there are orders from superiors and there are also constraints of rules.

"Destroying a warship... I don't have that ability, Miss Diva." Robin replied to Uta.

"Indeed, no matter what, it's too exaggerated to destroy several warships at the age of eight. Even Shanks can't do it..." Uta nodded in agreement.

"You bastard navy, are you lying again?"

If Shanks can't do it, then no one else can do it either, because Shanks himself is one of the strongest people in the world, and those who can really accomplish such a feat are all in the first tier, and are as powerful as Shanks.

"Sha…x?"

Robin turned his eyes and looked at Uta in surprise. It was hard for him to believe that he heard the name of the Four Emperors from the mouth of this singer who was a private in the navy.

In this world where information is relatively closed, the soldiers in the front half of the headquarters should not reveal information about the emperors far away.

"Never done it?" Tashigi was a little confused and looked at Robin with half belief and half doubt.

"Compared to this, Dashiki, how did you recognize her? So amazing..." Uta asked Dashiki.

Nico Robin's information in the Navy's intelligence has not been updated for a long time. She is a missing person, and even the bounty order has not been updated. The photo above is also a photo of her childhood.

According to common sense, Dashigi should not remember this forgotten person.

"That's because... I got 100 million berries from the commander. I didn't do anything, but I got 100 million. So before I went to sleep, I reviewed the bounty list on the waterway." said Dashigi.

Only then did she think of Robin, otherwise she would not be able to remember Robin's information.

Not impressed at all.

"Give your men 100 million? That's impressive."

Robin looked at Dashigi calmly, "I haven't done anything I haven't done. My devil fruit ability doesn't have strong destructive power."

At the age of eight, he destroyed multiple warships... Luffy glanced at Uta. This guy got that movement and turned it into an island-level attack...

Tashigi was speechless for a moment. She thought about Robin's information and felt that it was somewhat strange and counterintuitive.

"Do you mean that there is something wrong with the navy's information?" Dashiqi asked subconsciously.

"Who knows? After all, you are a group of people who don't care about the truth." Robin sneered.

"What do you mean?" Dashiqi looked stern.

"You mean, there's something wrong with the Navy's intelligence. Did they lie?"

"That's for sure!" Uta said with deep conviction before Robin could answer.

"There must be something wrong with your navy's intelligence. Shanks is obviously a super good pirate!" Uta looked at Tashigi with his arms folded across his chest.

"Haven't I told you many times that Shanks is a great pirate who will protect the weak!"

"Dashigi is such an idiot. She doesn't even understand such a simple truth."

"I..." Tashigi was speechless for a moment. What happened between Uta and Shanks did make her doubtful about Shanks' information about the pirate group.

"Miss Diva...are you familiar with the emperor of the new world?"

Robin asked doubtfully, with such a strong tone and the use of a sentence structure like "you navy".

"That's Uta's father." Luffy said.

“Father…Father!!”

Robin looked at Uta even more puzzled, then at Luffy.

This was information she didn't know, and what kind of combination was this?

"Wait, Luffy, you shouted out information that cannot be said!" Nami looked at Luffy in shock.

"Ah, that's right. This is a difficult situation. Robin knows a secret that cannot be known to outsiders!"

Luffy slapped his palm in sudden realization.

"How to do it?"

Luffy looked at Robin, "Can you please forget what I just said?"

"I can't forget it, but I can help you keep it a secret," said Robin.

"After all, I'm a wanted criminal, and it's impossible for me to show up in public, so you can rest assured."

"This is the only way..." Nami held her forehead.

"So, why on earth were you put on the wanted list when you were eight years old?"

Uta looked at Robin sideways. Why was such a big sister, who was dressed so sexy and beautiful, wanted with a bounty at the age of eight?

Her voice... her voice... hid...

"Me..." Robin gently lifted her hair and looked at Uta, who was so simple and kind. Her soft voice was pleasant to the ear.

"This is something that cannot be said." Robin smiled.

"..." Uta looked into Robin's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Really? So that's it."

Uta subconsciously thought of Shanks. Shanks had many secrets that he never told out. He just guarded those secrets alone and never told anyone.

"Then I won't ask."

For some reason, Robin had the illusion that he was healed. This smile, a smile that bloomed at the most beautiful age...

"Gulu gulu..."

Luffy's stomach rumbled like thunder.

"Ah, I'm hungry..." Luffy touched his stomach, "Instead of discussing these trivial things, why don't you give me some fries."

"Tashigi, just remember some relaxing things. Anyway, we are at a stage where we don't have to do anything to Robin," Luffy said.

"That's true..." Tashigi nodded, even though she was very concerned about Robin's affairs.

"Next, I will have to ask Miss Robin to be our guide while we tour the city of Rainland," said Luffy.

"Guide? I want to play with all the gambling tools in the casino!" said Uta.

"Can I ask you for a favor, Robin-san?" Uta asked Robin.

"Well, I'd be happy to..."

Robin acted as Uta's guide and began to enjoy the things in the casino.

Nami was also very interested in playing with Uta. Luffy had no interest in the things in the casino, so he stayed in the room and watched Nojiko cook for him.

"fire."

Nojigo said to Luffy.

Luffy opened his hands, and a strong flame burst out from his palms.

Nojiko used Luffy's fire to make some simple food and handed it to Luffy. The semi-finished ingredients were easily processed by her and then thrown into Luffy's mouth.

"Delicious~" Luffy praised with satisfaction.

Noqi Gao quietly prepared food and then fed it to the fish, feeling a sense of satisfaction rising in his heart unconsciously.

Tashigi watched Uta playing with the gambling tools on the floor below through the window. Robin would accompany her to play. The woman seemed to like Uta very much, and there would be a faint, barely noticeable smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Lieutenant...is there really something wrong with the Navy's intelligence?" Tashigi asked Luffy.

"That's headquarters' information."

"Tashigi, is Uta a pirate?" Luffy asked her while eating.

"This……"

"If you feel like it." Luffy said.

"Uta...is a pirate by identity, but she has not committed any crime." said Tashigi.

"Right?" Luffy said.

"The Navy's intelligence only states that Robin's crime was destroying six Navy warships. However, I don't think she had that ability at the age of eight, so this intelligence is wrong."

"That's what I think." Luffy said.

"If the charge she's being wanted for is wrong, then we've been wanted for an innocent eight-year-old girl for eighteen years?" Dashigi asked in disbelief.

"Innocent... not really. If the World Government thinks she is guilty, then she is guilty. After all, they make the laws."

"Whoever makes the laws has the right to convict others, no matter how strange such laws are." Luffy said calmly.

……

"Ms. Diva..."

Robin watched Uta playing with the slot machine-like gambling equipment. The place was reserved by them, and since Robin was one of the persons in charge of the casino, it was easy for her to book the place.

"Don't use honorifics with me, I'm much younger than you!" Uta was a little uncomfortable with Robin's honorifics, and this person was her fan.

"Just call me Uta."

"So, excuse me, Uta,...why did you join the government?" Robin asked.

As the daughter of the Four Emperors, joining the government and becoming a navy was shocking news.

"Because this is a very cool thing, I'm a spy." Uta said proudly.

"Although I am also a marine, I am actually a pirate!"

"Wait, Uta, you can't say this kind of thing out loud!" Namei said, pulling Uta's clothes.

“I forgot!!!”

Uta covered her cheek in fear, "Because Robin is my fan, he said it right away!"

Faced with fans' questions, Uta immediately chose to answer.
