"Now that it's just the two of us, want to take a walk? We can call it a date. I assume you don't mind going on a date with me, Captain Arton."
Robin turned to Arton with a smile as she said it, then casually pulled his arm right into her cleavage.
For a moment, Arton found himself once again appreciating that astonishing softness.
Galette: "There goes Robin again, pulling the same move."
Whitey Bay: "Robin really is good at this. She always finds a chance to get close to Arton."
Vinsmoke Reiju: "At this rate, Arton really is going to get hooked on Nico Robin 's body."
Viola: "And once that happens, she'll have plenty of chances to farm points through Arton. Ugh… so jealous. I could do that too."
Stussy: "This just makes me want to find Arton even faster."
"Um… I'm still here, you know."
Gan Fall pointed at himself as he spoke.
"A respectable old gentleman should know when to give young people a little more time and space," Robin said with a smile as she turned toward him.
That smile, however, sent a chill through Gan Fall.
It was as if something very bad would happen if he insisted on staying.
"Ahem. You two talk. I'm leaving."
Gan Fall had more or less figured it out—this was the perfect time for him to get out of the way.
"Hold on. You can't leave yet," Arton said, stopping him.
"Uh… is there something else?" Gan Fall asked.
"Before you go, tell me where the Poneglyph is."
"The Poneglyph? You mean that stone the Blue Sea man named Roger left his mark on?"
"So that's what you mean."
Now Gan Fall finally understood what Arton was looking for.
"But why do you know Roger? Is he a relative of yours?" Gan Fall asked curiously.
"No. I just happen to know about him," Arton replied.
Gan Fall could tell Arton had no intention of talking more about it.
So he pointed out the path to the Poneglyph, then left.
He had no desire to stay there any longer and ruin Arton and Robin's date.
"Now that we know where it is, can we go, my dear Captain Arton?"
Holding both of Arton's arms, Robin smiled and asked.
"We can, but the Poneglyph there doesn't contain what you're looking for. It's just the Poneglyph that points to the location of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon."
Arton felt it was only fair to tell Robin that beforehand.
That way, she wouldn't get her hopes up only to be disappointed.
"Even so, I still want to see it. Don't you want to know where the Ancient Weapon is, Captain Arton?" Robin asked.
"Even without reading the Poneglyph, I already know where the Ancient Weapon is."
Arton shrugged.
"Of course you do. Captain, you really do seem to know all sorts of things," Robin said with a smile.
Arton nodded, then started walking forward with Robin at his side, shutting off the diary video recording at the same time.
As far as he was concerned, there was no need to record a Poneglyph on video just for this.
What he didn't know was that the diary-copy holders were extremely eager to know what was written on the Poneglyph.
The moment Arton cut the video, they were all left frustrated.
Everyone except Nico Robin , of course.
Now I get to be alone with Captain Arton again.Should I use my body a little more?
The corner of Nico Robin's mouth curved upward as she thought it.
Chapter 613: Can You Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Robin ?
Smoothie: "So it really wasn't going to be that easy to see the Poneglyph that mentions the Ancient Weapon."
Cinnamon: "What a shame. If we could've seen it, we could've forced ourselves to memorize it first and then found someone to translate it later."
Kujaku: "That man—why'd he have to cut the livestream right then? No, actually… information about an Ancient Weapon really shouldn't be exposed to too many people, especially pirates."
Stussy: "If a diary-copy holder who's genuinely loyal to the World Government learned where the Ancient Weapon was, that would be a disaster."
Kalifa: "If this were before, I probably would've wanted to know and report it to the World Government. But now? Heh…"
Koala: "Thank God, thank God. Good thing Arton turned the stream off."
Belo Betty: "No need to worry that much, Koala. Even if Arton hadn't cut the stream, Robin probably would've found some way to distract him."
Whitey Bay: "Nico Robin 's sharp. Even though she hasn't been in Arton's crew for very long, she's already redirected his attention at key moments more than once and kept him from letting too much information slip. If he really was about to reveal something about an Ancient Weapon, she definitely would've stepped in."
Makino: "Would she really do it the same way she does in Arton's stories? That's honestly so embarrassing."
"Come on, Captain Arton, let's go."
Robin smiled at Arton, hooked herself around his arm, and started walking in the direction Gan Fall had pointed out.
"We can go, sure, but do you really have to cling to me this tight? It's not like I forgot how to walk."
Arton shot back.
"But you like walking like this, don't you? Or is it because I'm not wearing that qipao with the open chest today, so you don't want me hugging your arm like this?"
Robin said it with a smile.
"I never said that—wait, what are you doing?"
Arton's eyes widened as he watched Robin undo the buttons on her leather jacket.
"So I can get a little closer to you, Captain."
With that, Robin pulled his arm back into her embrace.
Only this time, it was different.
Arton could directly feel her body heat—and the soft, bare press of her tits around his arm.
"You really are… We should hurry up."
"If the others come back and catch you acting this shameless out here, that's going to be a problem."
As he said that, Arton picked up the pace toward the Poneglyph.
Robin smiled softly. From what she knew of Arton, he simply didn't want anyone else seeing her like this.
And Robin was more than happy with that.
Partly because she really did want to see the Poneglyph as soon as possible.
But also because, besides Arton, she didn't want any other man seeing her in this state.
Because while she acted bold in front of Arton, the truth was, she wasn't nearly that uninhibited on the inside.
The only reason she acted this forward was because she wanted to do everything she could to stay by Arton's side.
After all, in the beginning, Arton really had been suspicious of her.
"I'm serious—if we're just walking, can you keep your hands to yourself?"
Arton complained on the way there.
At first, it had been fine. Robin's hand was only resting on his chest.
But as time went on, Arton realized her hand was starting to slide lower and lower.
That was where he started losing it.
Come on, woman—we're outside right now.
What the hell kind of stunt are you trying to pull?
