Pirate: I am King Luffy

Robin touched the stone gently with his hand, feeling its antiquity and indestructible hardness.

She took out a flashlight from her bosom and turned it on. Although it was night, there was still plenty of light outside, but once she entered the underground secret room, it was much dimmer.

Robin scanned the ancient text on the stone line by line.

She gradually felt lost in her heart, but her face remained as calm as ever.

"Hey, are these all the secrets this country hides? Nothing else?"

Robin looked at Weiwei and asked curiously.

"That's all we have. It's not easy to move and preserve something this big. You're with us, and we don't have time for such a thing."

Luffy said.

"Well... I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Crocodile."

Robin said.

"This stone doesn't record what we want."

"The calendar is the Celestial Calendar. Kashira conquered Alabasta on the day of the 239th year of the Celestial Calendar... In the year 260, Tieyima took control of the Bitin Dynasty. In the year 306, Emmaru built the cathedral..."

Robin was talking about the history of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and Luffy looked at her strangely - why was she lying?

In the plot, Robin also told a lie, but Luffy forgot why.

Robin should have no reason to lie now, because she has already told Crocodile the whereabouts of Pluto. She only needs to read the records in the text and then tell Crocodile that Pluto is in Wano Country. That should be enough.

What was her motive for lying?

"Hey, hey, hey..." Crocodile frowned and interrupted Robin's narration irritably.

He glanced at Luffy again.

One of these two people told a lie.

Because of his rage and impatience, veins on Crocodile's forehead were bulging.

"Is this what we want to know?!"

"I am not interested in the history of this country at all. Please tell me the whereabouts of the most evil ancient weapon in the world!!!"

In a rage, he stretched out his hands and clenched them into a clawing gesture.

Robin raised the corner of his mouth, turned his head with a purple hat and said easily, "There is no record here. It only records the history of this country, and there is not a single word mentioning Pluto."

"..."

There is no need for Luffy to lie. He is also trying hard to protect the country for the sake of his so-called childhood sweetheart.

So what about Robin?

The Witch of Betrayal...

Crocodile's mood gradually calmed down.

"Ha ha……"

"is it?"

"That's a shame... Although you're an excellent partner, I have to kill you here!!"

294.

2023-11-28

I am going to kill you!

Crocodile looked at Robin calmly, and then said something that would decide her life or death. In the world of the strong, this era of slavery and war, destroying life is as easy as crushing an ant.

"..."

Robin took a step back, "What..."

Luffy noticed that there was some sweat on her forehead. Obviously, Crocodile's decision made Robin show a little fear and surprise.

Luffy didn't know why she lied, so he tried to put himself in Robin's shoes.

Luffy stretched his hands behind his back, then hugged his head, and watched them with the eyes and posture of a bystander, standing slightly in front of Vivi, with his little finger on the hilt of the sword, his body completely relaxed.

Robin hates people from the World Government. She hates even ordinary navy soldiers like Tashigi from the bottom of her heart.

After all, he has been hunted for eight years, so Luffy feels it is normal to have such emotions. If he were in his place, he would explode too.

But why lie?

Think about it the other way around, if no one lies, everyone will reach a perfect solution.

Crocodile chose to fulfill Luffy's promise and leave Alabasta. Luffy restored peace in Alabasta and used the list given by Crocodile to deal with the criminals of Baroque Works.

This is the perfect ending Luffy wanted...

No, it’s not perfect. He only considered the interests of himself and Crocodile. So what about Robin?

What will happen to the people who have been hunted after the "ending"?

Ah, lack of trust, I can only continue to choose to escape.

So that's how it is. After the ending of Alabasta, the Straw Hat Pirates took the initiative to embark on the pirate route and look for their next place to live.

Now it's Luffy on the Marine line. Even though Luffy and the others didn't do anything to Robin, how should she trust them?

Luffy never announced what he did with Robin.

From Robin's perspective, Luffy did not attack her because of her status as a Shichibukai. If he lost the protection of the Shichibukai, nothing could be certain.

The hero Luffy confirmed her identity as a criminal.

……

"The contract signed two years ago has come to an end!!"

Crocodile spread his hands towards Robin.

"Didn't we agree at the beginning that I would take you to the location of the original historical text and you would tell me the information about the [weapon]..."

"You have been by my side for the past two years... You have a cool head and first-rate command ability. For me, this is enough... You are a woman who can be used..."

Crocodile said as he slowly approached Robin, his golden hook flashing with cold light.

"But, you still broke the agreement in the end... The original history of this country did not provide any clues about Pluto..."

Crocodile is planning to attack Robin.

Luffy thought, what about himself?

Should he take action? If he fights with Crocodile, it will affect the tranquility of this underground palace. If the noise is too loud, his plan will not be perfect.

If I fight Crocodile, Robin will run away and my plan will not be perfect.

The multiple-choice question is now placed in front of Luffy.

"That's really too much... What do you mean I broke the agreement... Do you want me to make something up that's not written on the stone?"

Robin slowly backed away, leaning against the stone of the historical text.

Weiwei didn't expect things to turn out like this. The enemy seemed to be caught in a civil war. What should she do?

She retreated silently, and being on the same ship with Luffy and others for a year made her clearly understand the unreasonable fighting power of the strong ones.

Luffy has the power to destroy an entire pirate ship and topple a tall building with his bare hands, and his speed is so fast that it is difficult for ordinary people to capture it with their vision.

At this time, you can only retreat.

"Whatever you say, you are the only one in this world who can understand ancient characters... Nico Robin, I want to tell you something..."

Before Crocodile could finish his words, several arms grew out of his body and blasted Crocodile's body to pieces, turning it into a lot of sand. Robin then moved his legs, trying to take advantage of the moment when Crocodile's body was blown up to step around him and escape to the exit.

However, the Natural System is directly immune to such attacks.

Crocodile used his remaining eye to stare indifferently at Robin who passed by.

A streak of sand swayed and formed an arm, an arm with a golden hook.

Clang——

Luffy was still thinking, but his body had already moved. While his brain was still hesitating, his body had already given feedback.

With a pull of his little finger, the broadsword flew upward and was held in his hand.

Then he pushed forward and caught Crocodile's golden hook.

Two huge forces collided with each other, and Robin, who was close at hand, was knocked over by the impact and fell to the ground.

The woman rolled over and stood up on her knees, with a little dust on her clothes.

Crocodile rolled his eyes and looked at the young marine who was wrestling with him.

"Ah…what are you…doing? Marine hero?"

"We agreed to be quiet and not make any noise. I told you the answer, and then Robin will test it."

"So, now, what should we do about our agreement..."

Luffy asked.

This golden hook blocked the edge of the sword.

"Well... the agreement between you and me will continue... If I stay in Alabasta, I will be in danger. The identity of Shichibukai is still useful to me. Now, I just want to kill this woman who betrayed me and has lost her usefulness!"

Crocodile raised his hand, blocked Luffy's sword, and then turned into a sandstorm and attacked Robin.

Robin subconsciously covered his face with his hands, waiting for the sandstorm to cut him.

Crocodile's upper body becomes solid and he is about to strike Robin, but a sword pierces his heart.

Then the entire body collapsed into sand and gathered together again in the distance.

Although the weapon was used, it didn't have the substance to penetrate the flesh, so I transformed it into an element in advance to dodge it.

Luffy thought about the early elemental power he had demonstrated when he was with Kizaru.

"What do you mean?"

Crocodile clenched his hands.

"If the agreement continues, this woman, the demon of O'Hara, shall also be my prey, and shall be left to me to dispose of."

"Ok?"

"I did say that I would leave Baroque's social work to you, but this woman is not my subordinate yet. We are just partners."

Crocodile said slowly.

"How heartless, Crocodile. I have been working for you for two years..."

Robin stood up from the ground, brushing the dust off his coat.

Crocodile ignored the woman because in his eyes, Robin was already dead.

He stared at the navy kid in front of him strangely.

"That's weird... As far as stances are concerned, I'm on your side, Marine Hero... If you want to capture Robin and claim the reward, then it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, right?"

"The World Government would be happier if Nico Robin died."

"What should I say?" Luffy adjusted his sword-holding hand.

"From a compassionate point of view, I hope this woman is alive. Isn't this world always treasuring rare treasures? Is this the only survivor of O'Hara in the world?"

"This is a very valuable thing." Luffy looked at the king sword in his hand.

The blade reflected Luffy's face.

The hands were trembling slightly.

During that brief collision with Crocodile, a powerful force hit Luffy, almost knocking the sword out of his hand.

This guy is really strong.

"Sympathy? Guhahaha..."
