Nami frowned, looking at Roland, then at Robin, instinctively feeling that things were not simple.
A mature and alluring big sister like Robin would definitely have a huge impact on men.
Nami couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
"That's… Binky the sea turtle and Miss All Sunday!!"
Princess Vivi's pupils constricted as she recognized Robin's identity.
"Vivi, do you know who she is?" Miss Tohru asked.
"Hmm, she's also a high-ranking agent of Baroque Works, and she's Crocodile's partner. Before Crocodile's identity was exposed, she was always the one who contacted all the members on behalf of the boss. It's just that she didn't seem to appear that day?" Vivi frowned deeply.
"What? Crocodile's partner? Isn't that a super dangerous person? We must eliminate her!" Nami said righteously.
"Wait a minute," Vivi's mind seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
She remembered what Roland had just said.
Furthermore...
Anyone who knew Crocodile's detailed battle plan must have been close to him.
Everything suddenly became clear.
"Miss All Sunday, you are the mysterious person who secretly helped me!" Vivi's beautiful eyes widened, and her voice rose by more than eight octaves.
"My name is Nico Robin, Miss Wednesday, or rather, Princess Vivi!" Robin smiled slightly, not denying it.
"Nico… Robin, you… as Crocodile's partner, why did you help me?" Vivi pursed her lips and asked.
"You can just consider it my conscience awakening!" Robin shrugged, offering no explanation, nor taking any credit.
After a while...
"No matter what, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met everyone, and the capital incident would have resulted in an unknown number of casualties!" Vivi bowed solemnly in thanks.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first!" With that, Vivi turned and returned to her own room.
Nami and the others did not stop her.
An enemy suddenly becoming someone who helps you.
Anyone would be confused by this.
Vivi needed time to calm down now.
As for repelling the enemy and resisting outsiders, that could only be left to me.
Nami nodded, secretly cheering herself on.
"Why are you here today? To ask for a reward?" Nami asked, full of hostility.
"No." Robin sat down at the table familiarly, propping her chin with one hand, smiling as she looked at everyone.
"Baroque Works has been destroyed, and now I have nowhere to go…"
"Ah? You want to join the crew too?" Before Robin could finish, Nami had already understood her meaning.
"Yes indeed~" Robin nodded slightly.
"Are you kidding me? Even if you had a change of heart and helped Vivi and us in the end, it doesn't negate what you did for Crocodile before. And you betrayed him once, how do we know… how do we know…" Nami's righteous questioning suddenly stalled, her big eyes staring fixedly, finally turning into the shape of money.
"Miss Nami, this is a small welcome gift I prepared for you, please don't dislike it!" Robin smiled and pushed a bag of gems in front of Nami.
"I don't dislike it~ I don't dislike it~" Nami, blinded by money, was already won over.
Kuina: "…"
Looks like I'm the only one left to rely on!
"Kuina-chan, this is something I obtained by chance, it should be one of the Great Grade Swords of the Twenty-One O Wazamono series!" Robin used her Flower-Flower Fruit ability to magically present a famous sword to Kuina.
"Wow~" Even though she already owned many famous swords, Kuina's eyes still lit up.
Ever since Roland handed over all the swords he fished up to her for safekeeping, Kuina had unknowingly developed a hobby of collecting famous swords.
"Brother, I…" Kuina stole a glance at Roland, and after receiving an affirmative nod, she happily accepted it.
"Miss Tohru, this is a special perfume I found in something. It not only enhances feminine charm, but also…" Robin leaned in and whispered softly into Miss Tohru's ear.
Miss Tohru's eyes visibly lit up.
"Really?"
"Mm!" Robin nodded slightly.
"Then thank you~" Miss Tohru also accepted it.
At this point, all three defensive lines on the ship were breached by Robin.
Just as Robin thought only Roland remained, "Hey, little girl, where's my gift? You didn't prepare one for me… Ah ah ah!" Teapot Shukaku was kicked out by Roland before he could finish speaking, falling into the sea.
"That just now was…" Robin's eyebrow twitched sharply.
She thought she had figured out all the hobbies of Roland's group.
She didn't expect the pet in that teapot to actually speak.
This team truly always gives surprises.
"Come with me, Miss Robin!" Roland smiled slightly and led Robin to the captain's cabin on the second deck.
Before Robin could say anything, Roland casually threw a scroll over.
Robin subconsciously caught it, opened it, and glanced roughly, her pupils instantly constricting.
Others might not recognize it, but she knew it all too well: this was a rubbing of a Poneglyph.
And it was highly likely to be the one she had spent years diligently searching for in Alabasta.
"You gave my girls so many gifts, I should return one!" Roland said with a faint smile.
Thump~
Thump-thump~
At this moment, looking at the spring-like smile on Roland's face, Robin's heart, which had always been as still as an ancient well, like a thousand-year-old deep pool, began to beat uncontrollably.
Handsome!
Mysterious!
Powerful!
Gentle!
Omnipotent!
At this moment, Roland's image in Robin's eyes grew infinitely grand.
Robin had always scoffed at love.
Believing that even if it existed, it would never happen to her.
However…
At this very moment,
For the first time in her life, she felt what it meant to… have her heart stirred.
"Whew." After a long while, Robin let out a breath, suppressing her restless heart.
"How is it, Miss Robin? How do you feel about this gift of mine?" Roland asked with a smile.
"Mr. Roland is truly a special person~" Robin smiled charmingly.
"Speaking of which, back at the palace, Mr. Roland once said he owed me a favor and that I could ask you for help!"
"Mm!" Roland nodded, thinking that Robin probably wanted him to help collect Poneglyphs and uncover the Void Century.
However…
The development of events was completely different from what Roland had imagined.
"Hmm, I do have an urgent matter now that requires Mr. Roland's help!" Robin nodded seriously.
"Just say it!" Roland made a gesture of invitation, a look of everything-in-control on his face.
"I want to be the mother of your child!" Robin said.
"Hmm, but…" Roland subconsciously was about to agree.
The next second, the word 'to' got stuck in his throat.
Wait a minute!
Something strange seems to have been mixed in?
Meeting Roland's bewildered gaze, Robin smiled generously and spoke again, enunciating each word clearly.
"I…want…to…have…your…baby!!!"
