I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

Anyway, I still have quite a few on the train.

Seeing that Luffy agreed, the robin's expression softened considerably, and its impression of Luffy improved significantly.

"take it!"

Although it was still a little thirsty, the robin handed over the water bottle it was carrying.

The two little girls seemed a bit wary when they saw the water bottle being handed to them.

Another little girl cautiously approached the robin, quickly took the water bottle from her hand, and immediately returned to her companion who was holding the dagger.

Looking at the sweet, pure water in the kettle, the two couldn't help but swallow.

They each drank half, and soon the two little girls had drunk the water in the kettle completely empty.

"Little girls, what are you two doing here? Where is your mother?"

Perhaps because of the water, the two little girls were no longer as wary of Luffy and the robin as they had been at the beginning.

When asked about the robin, one of the little girls answered.

"We don't have a mother."

"What about Dad?"

"We don't have a father either."

Upon hearing this, the robin wished he could slap himself twice.

"Goo~"

At that moment, the two little girls' stomachs suddenly made a rumbling sound.

This made the robin look at Ruff with pleading eyes.

And Ruff, of course, understood what the robin meant.

No, as my own prisoner, can't you have some self-awareness? The way you're making me seem like I have no authority at all!

Despite thinking that way, Luffy still took out the dry rations he had prepared.

Book 1: Chapter 10 Sarah and Lily

"Wow, this bread is so delicious!"

"The jam inside is also sweet and sour!"

The two little girls wolfed down the bread that Luffy handed them.

Soon, half of the dry rations that Luffy brought were eaten by the two little girls.

"This is the most I've eaten in the past two days!"

"This is probably the only time we've eaten here in the last two days!"

Another little girl corrected her.

Hearing the two little girls' conversation, the robin frowned and asked a question.

"Haven't you had anything to eat these past two days? Didn't the company send people to distribute supplies?"

"A company? What's that?"

Upon hearing the robin's words, the two little girls looked puzzled.

"They came from the sky, and they looked like a group of cattle and horses!"

"How could a child possibly understand what you're saying!"

Upon hearing Luffy's description, the robin retorted.

To her surprise, the two children actually looked enlightened after hearing this.

"I know, a while ago another group of people came here in a spaceship and built a huge machine in that mountain in the distance. It makes strange noises all day long, which is very annoying!"

A little girl pointed to a tall mountain in the distance and said.

Looking from a distance, you can even see thick smoke billowing from the mountains.

"It was the arrival of that group of people that caused the fighting, which was supposed to stop, to resume!"

Another little girl said angrily.

"how so……"

The robin fell silent.

Although Robin knew the company had a bad reputation, she didn't expect it to be even more shameless than she thought.

It's obvious without even thinking that the company is now mining the ore they mentioned before in those high mountains.

"That's just how the company is. They want aid and supplies, but they always manage to get all the good things!"

Luffy remarked from the side.

The robin did not refute this.

"By the way, you two older brothers and sisters, you should leave here quickly too. There will be a war here soon, and everyone else has already left!"

Faced with the two kind people who offered water and food, the two little girls kindly reminded them.

"Then why didn't you leave?"

"Isn't this just to see if we can find any food?"

Due to the war, a considerable number of people have been displaced.

Normally, if someone finds food, there are a lot of people scrambling to get it.

The two children, of course, couldn't compete with the adults.

That's why I thought I'd take advantage of the fact that everyone else had left and come to search through these ruins.

Hearing what the two little girls said, the robin's face showed a hint of heartache.

"We'll be staying here for a while. Would you two like to come with us?"

Surprisingly, it was Ruff who said these words, which made the robin take another look at Ruff.

"May I?"

The two little girls' eyes lit up when they heard this.

Luffy smiled and nodded at this.

"Thank you so much, big brother! My name is Sarah!"

The slightly older, dark-haired girl introduced herself.

"And me, I'm Lily!"

The other, slightly smaller, blonde girl also quickly introduced herself.

"I'm……"

At this point, the robin hesitated slightly.

If I were to reveal my real name, it might cause quite a bit of trouble.

However, the robin couldn't think of a call for the moment.

Fortunately, at this moment, Luffy stepped in and solved the robin's problem.

"My name is Luffy, and as for the lady next to me, well, her name is Ash Blossom!"

Luffy didn't care and used his real name directly.

"Hello, Brother Luffy and Sister Ash Blossom!"

Upon hearing this, Sarah and Lily immediately greeted the two of them.

"Well, now's not the time to chat, Sarah Lily. Could you please take us to a safe place first?"

"Leave it to us!"

"We know this place very well!"

The two little girls sang in unison and then led the way.

"Mr. Luffy, is that your real name?"

While Sarah and Lily were leading the way, the robin also sidled up to Luffy and quietly asked.

"Of course, no one knows me anyway!"

Luffy said somewhat nonchalantly.

"Really? Does the name Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring have any meaning?"

"It's nothing, I think it suits you quite well. If you don't like it, you can just choose another one!"

Ghostly rabbit, bubble, illusion, concealment.

There's bound to be one that suits a robin.

"No need, I quite like this name. Besides, changing my name now would just tell the two kids that I used a fake name earlier."

The robin shook his head, refusing Ruff's request to change his name.

"Then I have another question: Why did Mr. Luffy help these two children?"

"Why? Because I'm a little girl, cough cough! My friend's grandma once said that children are the treasures of the world!"

Luffy coughed lightly, almost blurting out his true thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the robin's eyes lit up.

My feelings for Luffy have risen once again.

Yes, children are the treasures of this world.

But at this moment, Robin was also a little curious: why would Luffy, who didn't seem like a bad person, choose to become a space pirate?

There must be a reason for it!

At this moment, the robin subconsciously tried to exonerate Luffy.

Then Robin started chatting casually with Krof, during which Lily and Sarah joined in.

The four of them chatted and laughed all the way.

Fortunately, the group did not encounter any danger along the way. Led by Lily and Sarah, they arrived at a somewhat dilapidated-looking little house.

"We're here! This is our home!"

Sarah pointed to the cabin and said with some pride.

The hut was close to the battlefield, and the inhabitants were afraid of being drawn into the war.

Therefore, others dared not linger here for fear of being affected.

The two girls naturally and easily incorporated it into their territory.

Led by the two, Luffy and the robin also entered the cabin.

The small house was empty except for a somewhat dilapidated wooden table in the middle and two stools missing arms and legs.

This made Ruff even wonder if the stool would fall apart if he sat on it.

"Sorry, my home is a bit simple."

Looking at their own surroundings, Sarah and Lily scratched their cheeks a little embarrassedly.

"It's alright, I think this house is quite cozy!"

The robin gave a slight smile, showing no sign of disdain.

As a young bird, the robin was born in a place full of war, so it naturally knew how wonderful it would be to have a house that could shelter it from the wind and rain.

Upon hearing the robin's sincere praise, Sarah and Lily immediately became shy.
