Chapter 216: The Belonging of the Light of the Revolution! The Tacit Understanding of Needing Only One Room
As the heavy wooden door slowly pushed open.
Tatsuya, Dragon, and Sabo concluded their in-depth discussion about the future situation of the world in the secret room.
The three of them walked out of the room side by side with steady steps.
In the underground corridor outside the door, the light was slightly dim.
Robin was standing by the wall, chatting happily with a young girl wearing a newsboy cap and a sweet smile.
That girl was none other than the Revolutionary Army cadre, Koala.
There seemed to be a natural sense of closeness between the two women, and the atmosphere at this moment was very harmonious.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Koala immediately turned her head.
When her gaze fell upon Tatsuya, her clear, large eyes instantly flashed with undisguised surprise and deep admiration.
"It's truly unbelievable."
Koala looked up and down at the tall, upright, black-haired man in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"The guy who dared to send a Celestial Dragon flying in public actually appeared alive and well in our headquarters base."
"To be honest, I even admire you a little!"
Sabo, following behind Dragon, heard this generous praise and immediately burst into hearty laughter.
He took a few steps forward and joked unceremoniously:
"Hahaha, Koala, if you admire him, you might as well admire me! You can admire me more too!"
"Stop being so full of yourself, Sabo!" Koala rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
The two of them immediately started bickering back and forth in the corridor without restraint, just like countless times before, adding a bit of lively energy to this serious underground base.
Dragon was long used to the daily bickering of the two young cadres beside him.
He completely ignored their bickering and instead turned his deep, majestic gaze toward Robin.
This supreme leader of the Revolutionary Army had a solemn expression, his tone gentle yet extremely serious as he extended an invitation to her:
"How about it, Nico Robin?"
"Are you willing to join our Revolutionary Army?"
Facing this heavy invitation that could completely change the trajectory of her life, Robin did not immediately nod in response.
She turned slightly to the side, and her beautiful eyes, which always revealed reason and composure, were now filled with an imperceptible anticipation.
She turned her head and looked quietly at Tatsuya beside her.
For Robin, the Revolutionary Army's grand blueprint was certainly tempting.
But the will of this Vice Captain was the priority that would always come first in her heart.
Keenly sensing the gaze Robin cast toward him, the corners of Tatsuya's mouth slowly curled into a gentle smile.
He met her gaze, his eyes full of indulgence, and gently winked at her.
That was the tacit understanding unique to the two of them, a signal of unreserved permission.
After receiving Tatsuya's confirmation, the smile on the corners of Robin's mouth instantly rippled out.
She immediately turned her head and nodded solemnly at Dragon with a smile, indicating her willingness to join.
Seeing this, a sincere joy finally appeared on Dragon's stern face.
He let out a hearty and deep laugh, feeling incredibly happy about the official joining of this "Light of the Revolution."
As his laughter subsided, Dragon turned his head and instructed Koala, who was still undermining Sabo nearby:
"Alright, Koala. Take these two distinguished guests to a room to rest."
"After experiencing so many things, they must be very tired now."
"Yes!" Koala just wanted to stand up straight to accept the order.
However, before she could fully turn around.
Robin took a step forward and interrupted her with an elegant and composed smile:
"Miss Koala, sorry to trouble you."
Robin paused, and added in a soft yet clear tone.
"However... we only need one room."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the corridor seemed to stagnate for a second.
Koala was suddenly stunned in place.
She subconsciously reached out both hands and covered her mouth tightly.
Her large, lively brown eyes scanned back and forth between Tatsuya's calm face and Robin's smiling countenance, and a thick soul of gossip instantly ignited in the depths of her eyes.
After a brief shock, a sly smile appeared on Koala's face.
She mischievously winked at the two of them frantically, giving them a look that said, "I totally understand."
Then she turned around and briskly signaled for the two to follow her steps.
Tatsuya looked at the black-bellied and unreservedly proactive mature woman beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly.
Robin completely ignored the gazes of others, very naturally stretched out her fair arm, and intimately linked her arm with Tatsuya's.
The two were intimate in posture, shoulder to shoulder, following leisurely behind Koala as they walked toward the rest area.
In the long and quiet corridor leading to the underground rest area, only the footsteps of the few echoed.
Koala, walking in front, finally could not suppress the curiosity churning in her heart.
She slowed her pace slightly and turned her head to ask the two behind her:
"Speaking of which, I'm really very curious."
"How exactly did you provoke that group of high-and-mighty, arrogant Celestial Dragons in a place like Sabaody Archipelago?"
Hearing this question, Robin tightened her grip on Tatsuya's arm slightly.
She used her unique, calm, and rational tone to recount the events that happened on Sabaody Archipelago.
From the conflict at the auction, saving the mermaid Camie, to the whole process of how Tatsuya and Luffy, in a fit of rage, unhesitatingly beat up Saint Charlos, she narrated it all without reservation.
After listening to this turbulent account, the mischievous expression on Koala's face completely vanished.
She nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with a heavy sense of gravity and deep, heartfelt admiration.
As someone who had once been cruelly enslaved by the Celestial Dragons.
Koala knew better than anyone else in this world what kind of irresistible, terrifying power the Celestial Dragons represented.
Facing such absolute privilege, daring to throw an angry fist—how precious this courage truly was.
Unknowingly, the three of them had arrived at the rest area.
Koala stopped in front of a thick wooden door, took out a key, and opened the door.
As a secret underground base, Baltigo naturally could not boast of any luxurious amenities.
The layout inside the room was very simple, but every spot was cleaned very neatly and tidily, exuding a sense of reassuring warmth.
Koala turned her head and politely asked if they were satisfied with this guest room.
Tatsuya and Robin looked around the room and nodded with a smile.
Afterward, the two walked side by side into this private space that belonged to them.
Standing outside the door, Koala looked at this man and woman who were incredibly well-matched in both appearance and temperament, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again.
She mischievously winked her large, lively eyes again.
She covered her mouth with her hands crossed, deliberately elongated the tail of her sentence, and left a final farewell in a very ambiguous tone:
"Well then, you two, have a good rest~"
With a crisp "click," Koala thoughtfully closed the door for them from the outside.
In the world outside the door, the wind and sand were still howling in the desolate night sky of Baltigo.
And inside this tightly closed wooden door, all the clamor was completely isolated, and the private time belonging to the Vice Captain and the archaeologist officially began.
