Chapter 213: Emergency Landing on the Island of Wind! The Vice Captain and the Deterrence of Six Hundred Million
The scenes of the battlefield on the Sabaody Archipelago, where tragedy and brilliance were intertwined, flashed rapidly through the mind.
High in the air, the transparent paw-shaped bubble swiped out by the Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma emitted a crisp popping sound and instantly vanished into thin air.
Having lost the wrapping and support of the bubble, Tatsuya and Robin began to plummet rapidly toward the unknown ground below.
A frantic hurricane howled shrilly in their ears, violently whipping their clothes and hair.
Faced with this sudden and intense sensation of weightlessness that had come without any warning.
Even Robin, who had experienced countless storms and was always calm and composed, could not help but feel a sliver of instinctive shock and fear at this moment.
Driven by the survival instinct of falling from a great height.
Robin's long, straight legs instantly wrapped tightly around Tatsuya's sturdy waist and abdomen, and her slender arms clung desperately to his neck, attaching herself completely to this man.
Feeling the soft, fragrant warmth in his arms and that tight dependence, Tatsuya did not panic because of the fall.
He took the opportunity to extend his powerful arms, firmly cradling the stunning curves of Robin's waist and hips, protecting her tightly against his broad chest.
Seeing that there was less than a few meters left to the ground, the kinetic energy of the fall had reached its peak.
Tatsuya's eyes narrowed.
In the final second before impact, he precisely mobilized the Chakra within his body.
"Hum—"
Accompanied by a low-pitched energy resonance, a layer of miniature "Susanoo" skeleton emitting a dark purple ghostly light instantly condensed and formed around them.
These incredibly sturdy Chakra ribs acted as the perfect cushion, keeping Robin firmly protected in absolute safety inside.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the two landed steadily on a desolate land filled with wind and sand.
After perfectly absorbing all the impact of the fall, the Susanoo skeleton quietly dissipated into points of light.
Leaving only a shallow crater on the ground.
With her feet finally touching solid ground, Robin finally recovered from that intense dizziness and sensation of weightlessness.
She left Tatsuya's embrace and looked around.
What met her eyes were only the wind and yellow sand that blocked out the sky, and the strange white soil under her feet that seemed to have no end.
Looking at this completely unfamiliar and harsh environment.
Robin's first reaction was not to worry about her own situation, but to immediately think of her companions who had been forced to separate after encountering the Admiral and Pacifista on the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Luffy and the others... I wonder how everyone is doing now."
The look of worry in Robin's eyes was hard to hide, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Tatsuya reached out with his broad, warm hand and gently patted Robin's shoulder.
Tatsuya narrowed his deep black eyes slightly, carefully examining the surrounding sky full of yellow sand and the unique white soil landscape.
He then turned his head to look at Nico Robin, who was beside him, wanted by the World Government and known as the "Light of the Revolution."
As a transmigrator who knew the trajectory of the world line.
Tatsuya's brain instantly sorted out all the links behind Kuma's actions just now.
The true identity of Bartholomew Kuma was a high-ranking officer of the Revolutionary Army.
He used the overbearing spatial ability of the Paw-Paw Fruit to send Robin, who possessed the ability to decipher the poneglyph and had been sought after by the Revolutionary Army for years.
Precisely to the place in this world most suitable for her and the safest.
The main base of the Revolutionary Army, the Island of White Soil, Baltigo.
Having figured all this out, a relaxed and comfortable smile slowly curled up on the corner of Tatsuya's mouth.
He secretly admired Kuma's impeccable and perfect arrangement in his heart.
This was not only the best destination and safe haven for Robin.
For Tatsuya, who had just gone through consecutive high-intensity bloody battles and had consumed a huge amount of ocular power, it was an excellent treasure ground for "secluded cultivation and leveling up."
On this secret island that even the World Government's intelligence agencies could not find.
He could settle his strength without any outside interference and deeply develop the exclusive ocular power that had just awakened in his right eye.
Tatsuya naturally took Robin's slightly cool hand, their fingers interlacing:
"Don't worry. That guy Kuma is very calculating."
"Luffy and the others will also, like us, go to the places in this world most suitable for their respective growth."
Tatsuya looked up, his gaze piercing through the raging wind and sand, looking at the vague outlines of buildings in the distance:
"As for us... let's just consider it a visit to an 'old acquaintance'."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen vague figures suddenly emerged from the rolling wind and sand ahead.
A fully armed, well-trained elite patrol unit of the Revolutionary Army appeared rapidly from behind the sand dunes like ghosts.
They formed a semi-enclosed tactical formation, tightly surrounding Tatsuya and Robin in the center.
"Click!"
The sound of weapons being unsheathed and muskets being loaded in unison was exceptionally clear in the wind and sand.
The patrol members stared vigilantly at these two intruders who seemed to have appeared out of thin air, as if facing a formidable enemy.
In stark contrast to the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere of the Revolutionary Army.
Tatsuya stood in the center of the encirclement, showing absolutely no killing intent or hostility at all.
He even had the leisure to raise one hand and greeted them in a relaxed manner:
"Yo, everyone, don't be so nervous."
"May I ask, is Dragon at home?"
Hearing this completely unfamiliar young man dare to address their supreme leader by name in such a familiar tone.
The members of the patrol team were stunned, their brains experiencing a brief shutdown.
Immediately after, a member with excellent eyesight in the team took advantage of the brief gap when the wind and sand weakened to see Tatsuya's appearance clearly.
Iconic pure black short hair, deep abyss-like black pupils.
And the famous sword "Shusui" with dark red chaotic blade patterns worn at his waist.
Then, thinking of the urgent, extra-large wanted poster that had just been spread all over the world by countless News Coos this morning...
The member's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle point, and a chill went straight to his skull.
His hand holding the gun trembled violently, and he shouted hoarsely:
"Wait, wait! Everyone, fall back!"
"This guy... this guy is a great pirate! The Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"He's the monster mentioned in this morning's newspaper headlines, the one who beat up the Celestial Dragons on the Sabaody Archipelago and even dared to go head-to-head with the Admiral Kizaru—'Crimson Lotus Victor'!"
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and added desperately: "His latest bounty... is a full six hundred million Berries!"
When the two titles of "six hundred million Berries" and "beating up the Celestial Dragons," which were like bombshells, exploded in the crowd.
The nerves of the entire patrol team instantly tightened to the limit where they could snap at any moment.
Even these Revolutionary Army soldiers who were used to life and death and had firm beliefs.
At this moment, facing a lawless person with a bounty as high as six hundred million who dared to rub world nobles on the ground, they also felt a sense of oppression.
All the gun barrels and sharp cold weapons were aimed firmly at Tatsuya's brow and vital parts at this moment.
Cold sweat broke out on the captain of the patrol team's forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the dry white soil.
He gripped his rifle with both hands and roared at Tatsuya as if facing a formidable enemy:
"Stand still and don't move! Put your hands where we can see them clearly immediately!"
"As long as you dare to make any suspicious moves, we will definitely open fire immediately!"
Faced with the countless dark gun barrels around him, Tatsuya sighed helplessly and shrugged casually.
He very cooperatively raised his arms slowly, spread his slender hands, and signaled to this group of overly nervous soldiers that he had no hostility and no hidden weapons on his body.
While holding his hands up, Tatsuya also happened to turn his head and winked at Robin beside him, cracking a joke:
"It seems that my photo in the World Economic News today didn't turn out very well; my image doesn't seem very approachable."
Standing on the side, Robin saw these people actually daring to point cold gun barrels at her boyfriend.
Her originally gentle eyes instantly turned cold, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Subsequently, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, her fingertips already prepared to activate the "Hana Hana no Mi" ability.
As long as these people dared to pull the trigger, she would instantly break all of their necks.
Just as the patrol team was highly nervous, Robin was ready to act, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.
From the depths of the howling wind and sand, a steady sound of footsteps suddenly came.
As the footsteps became clearer, a young male voice with a bit of unruliness and a strong sense of curiosity floated over leisurely:
"Oh? The great pirate rumored to have a bounty of six hundred million Berries and who turned the Sabaody Archipelago upside down."
"Facing a few ordinary muskets, you would actually be so cooperative?"
"This is really, quite unexpected."
