"...."
What could Robin say at that moment?
She wasn't stupid, and she was smart since if she weren't, then she couldn't become the youngest archaeologist on Ohara Island!
Her obsession with the lost history brought her more harm than good, especially toward her new family.
Yes, a family.
Robin had thought of them as family, and because of that, she didn't mind showing her face and exposing her lewd body in front of them.
More importantly, she was about to become a mother, so would she become like her mother, who left her alone on that island, miserable and painful.
Would her children have the same situation as her?
When Robin thought of that, her heart became firm, but when she was about to say something, Shinra said, "It doesn't matter, Stussy. I don't mind."
"But..."
"You have become my woman, so of course, I wish you to be happy, okay?"
Holding Robin's hand firmly, Shinra wished for her happiness since he knew that Robin couldn't let go of her obsession, as she had been entrusted by everyone who had died on the Ohara Island before.
Yes, probably, for others, this Robin's obsession might cause harm, but it didn't really matter for him since—
"Why are you so confident that we will be okay?"
"Because I am strong."
It was the key to his confidence since Shinra was strong, but because of that, he needed to become stronger, and he thought of going back to the world of Naruto.
Yes, after a long, hard work, finally, it was his time to go back to his hometown, ready to evolve his Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Some might say that it would have been better for him to gain a Logia-type Devil Fruit like the Goro Goro no Mi, the one that he sought when he returned to the first Grand Line, but at least, for now, he didn't need it, especially with the target of his opponents.
Danzo, Itachi, and Obito.
Shinra had thought that it was his target, and he couldn't wait to return, as it would be enough for him to go back to the world of Naruto, then return to the world of One Piece again.
Still, facing his arrogant words, Carina, Robin, and Stussy were speechless.
"Say, what is this Void History?" Carina asked with doubt as she knew nothing about this problem. Before, she didn't have much of an interest, thinking that it was just Robin's hobby, like how she liked to collect money, but it seemed this problem was deeper than that.
"It is history that was erased by the World Government around 900 to 800 years ago."
"What happened?"
"Well..." Shinra thought for a moment, wondering how to explain this problem.
"... Do you know what is happening, Shinra?"
Facing Robin's excitement and rough breathing, Shinra was at a loss, then sighed. "It's just my guess, okay?"
"It doesn't matter, tell me."
"Well, you should know that in the past, before the World Government, there was this big kingdom that controlled this world, right?"
"Yes."
It was written on the Poneglyph that a certain big kingdom that controlled this world existed in the past before the World Government.
While Stussy didn't want to listen, in the end, she sighed and asked, "Then, that big kingdom left the Poneglyph before it was destroyed."
"Yes."
"...that's it?"
"Well, yes, that's it."
What was it they sought from him?
In his mind, everything was as simple as the big kingdom was destroyed by the World Government, and before it was destroyed, it left the Poneglyph.
That's it. Nothing more.
"....."
Robin was speechless, but she asked, "But if that was the case, why did the World Government try to hide that Void History?"
"Well, probably, the World Government won by a dirty method? As it was a shame for such a fact to be known by the future generation, they decided to erase the history."
Even in modern times, many countries have distorted their history, erased the cruelty that their country had done, and just left the general history, and erased everything that would cause their country to crumble.
After all, people's belief and love toward their country had to be kept, or else, the country would fall since the core of the country, in the end, was the people.
When the people had no beliefs in their country, then their country, especially those who were in the ruler's position, would lose everything.
It was like how Aokiji, who lost his justice after seeing Ohara Island, was destroyed by the Marines. Watching how ugly and disgusting the World Government's practice was, he had become doubtful, as his trust and belief were tarnished and betrayed by the World Government, which he had believed had been on the side of justice.
Shinra also knew that, and because of that, he had always tried to make the World Government be on the side of justice, the one on the right, even if that wasn't the case at all.
"..."
Still, his words made them silent as they thought that Shinra's guess was more or less correct.
"Then, what is this big kingdom?"
"I don't know, but..." Shinra looked at the sky, watching the shining moon, and said softly, "But... I think they might come from the moon?"
"The moon?!" 3x
The three quickly looked at the window, watching the moon high in the sky.
"You mean... those from the big kingdom came from the moon?" Carina was dumbfounded. "How could people live on the moon?!"
"It isn't impossible to live in the mood." Shinra looked at Carina calmly and said, "If you want, do you want to take a trip to the moon after you have given birth?"
"...." 3x
"But, why the moon? Also, why did the people of the moon move to this land?" Robin hurriedly asked.
"Well, it was said that the big kingdom in the past had advanced technology that went beyond the current technology in this world, and probably, the Devil Fruit might be one of those technologies, too."
"....." 3x
"As for why those people on the moon moved to this land, it's probably because they had emptied all of their resources, so they decided to move to the land, bringing their technology, and as everyone was still living backward like barbarians, hunting or farming to live, this world was quickly taken control by those people of the moon."
Shinra looked at the moon and said, "Somehow, I am not even surprised if the first twenty members of the World Government were slaves in the eyes of that big kingdom, so if we looked at the fact that they might have such a low status in the eyes of big kingdom, then wasn't it normal for the World Government to wish to erase the archeologists, who wanted to learn about the history of the past?"
"...but... but... why? Why did they have to kill everyone? It was just the distance past, right? Shouldn't they forget about the past?"
"Well, those archaeologists tried to expose that painful past of the World Government, so..."
"...." Robin.
"Let's say that a stranger tried to see, stalk, and try to uncover all of your secrets, then exposed it to the world, can you accept it?"
Like the World Government, how could Shinra feel comfortable when others tried to sneak and uncover his past, which was hurtful, dirty, and even ugly?
"..." Robin.
What could she say at this moment?
While Robin didn't want to accept it, she felt like the deaths of everyone on Ohara Island were really deserved.
Still, she felt a soft touch on her head, which made Robin look up. "Shinra?"
"It doesn't matter. You just want to learn the past, right? I also want to learn it, too, since they have a lot of unique technologies."
Moreover, as Shinra wanted to colonize this planet, it was obvious that he wanted to make it more comfortable, since what could he do if this planet was filled with nothing but sea water?
