There was a burst of gunfire and continuous firelight on the coast, and the pirate ship was shattered. The pirates fled miserably, crying: "What are you doing! How can people from such a small country have such powerful weapons?!"
On the shore, the soldiers carried the new rocket launcher designed by Dr. Kuleha and looked at the pirates fleeing in panic on the sea, and they all smiled.
"Don't mess with doctors, you little thieves." Kureha smiled and pushed her glasses to the top of her head.
During the battle, Kuleha's handbag placed aside was knocked over by the impact, and the documents and medical supplies inside were scattered on the floor.
King Dalton put down the rocket launcher and took the initiative to squat down to pick up things for Kuleha. Suddenly he saw the words written on one of the pages and was stunned.
"'Depression', 'survivor guilt'..."
Dalton was half puzzled and half shocked, "Dr. Kuleha, are these..."
"Boy!"
Kuleha glanced at him, picked up the things one by one and put them away in her handbag, looking at the wreckage and fire of the pirate ship on the sea, "Don't mess around with the doctor's things..."
…
〖Upside down on the top of the mountain〗
"What it looks like now is essentially what it was when we were still in the Kingdom of Flowers ten years ago, separated from Lynch at that time..."
Robin's flower clone sat on the top of the mountain, gently stroking the row of square Chinese characters on the rough red earth with one hand, and murmured to himself, "I sometimes feel that it's like he was left behind ten years ago.
A reflection of..."
The sea breeze blew, ruffling the black and tulip-gold hair of the flower clone.
"..."
Tulips are facing the wind, looking at the foot of Upside Down Mountain from a distance.
The Merry pirate ship has docked at the Twin Capes Lighthouse, and the Straw Hat Pirates are landing one after another, including Robin's body.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Chopper and others soon met the lighthouse keeper Kurokas, and soon started laughing in front of the old ship doctor who already had a bit of a cold sense of humor.
They were in a group, laughing and joking in a joyful atmosphere.
However, Robin's body always seemed to be wandering on the edge of that happy group, just like the black ghost walking beside her, becoming a wandering ghost.
"I just found it on the boat."
Tulip crossed her arms and spoke softly, turning to look at the side face of her princess who was sitting with her knees crossed, "Luffy and the others were so excited and happy on the ship... but I didn't see a trace of it on your face.
Smile."
"..." The flower clone stared blankly at the Straw Hat Pirates chatting animatedly with the old ship's doctor over at Twin Capes.
"How long has it been since you really laughed?"
"..."
The flower clone touched his cheek.
"If you are not happy," Tulip sighed softly and sat down next to the flower clone, "why are you still following that ship? Hancock must miss you very much..."
"Not happy...Yeah..." The flower clone's black hair was fluttering in the wind, and he murmured to himself, "But, it's the same everywhere..."
"You..." Tulip's eyes narrowed.
"I don't want to make myself happy at all..." the flower clone said to himself, "Wherever I go, I seem to be able to see his face and hear his voice... No matter where I go, I can think of us.
The days we experienced together..." A line of tears quietly flowed down her fair cheeks, "If I am the only one who feels happy... it would be like a betrayal of the past..."
"Silly boy……"
Tulip turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, opened her arms to take the flower clone into her arms, raised her hand and stroked the flower clone's head and long hair over and over again, "Do you think of this as your punishment for yourself?
You should understand that if Lynch knew what you were like now, he would definitely not be able to stand it."
"Then he should come here and find out..." The flower clone looked calm and stunned, biting his lips tightly, but tears continued to roll down, "It doesn't matter if you are disappointed in me, or you can't stand it, even if you want to ridicule me
, laugh at me, no matter what...as long as I can see him again..."
"well!"
Tulip was almost heartbroken, and shed two lines of clear tears. She closed her eyes and silently hugged the flower clone whose body was trembling slightly.
"tulip……"
The flower clone lowered his head, buried his head between his knees, and made a dull sound.
"I hate myself so much..."
…
White waves were crashing on the shore, and Robin stood on the shore, watching Kurokas briefly educate Nami and others on common sense such as the magnetic route of the Grand Line.
Nami was left to sort out the knowledge points, and Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, and Kurokas, who was wearing a floral shirt and wearing sandals, were constantly competing for the delicious seafood dinner that Sanji had just prepared.
Walk towards Robin.
Robin said: "Aren't you going to give them a recording pointer? As far as I know, the Navigator did not prepare a pointer."
"Don't you have it with you?" Kurokas shook his head and said, "They need me, not you who are already on the ship, to introduce the situation of the Grand Line. I am already surprised..."
"..." Robin nodded to Sanji, who was beckoning her to go to dinner with her. After thinking for a while, she said, "I think Luffy and the others would prefer a new, blank pointer. What do you think?"
Kurokas smiled, nodded and said, "Same feeling."
The boy in the straw hat gave him the same feeling... exactly as Roger did back then!
Robin walked over to eat.
On the spot, Kurokas suddenly said: "Although I am only a part-time doctor, I have to say...her mental condition may not be very good."
"..." Next to "B.I.B", he looked away at the figure of the former Snake Lady on the top of the upside down mountain. His narrow eyes flashed with a faint light, "I thought you really didn't know how to see and hear things!"
"Such details are not important." Kurokas folded his arms and said calmly.
"Were you tricking me back then, or did you just want to hide and relax?"
"Ah?" Kurokas put his hand to his ear and asked doubtfully, "I'm a little confused! What were you talking about just now?"
"..." The black armor looked at Robin who was feeding Chopper with food, "I know. But... I am just an empty shell of armor after all. What can I do?"
"..." Kurokas remained silent, "Your body..."
"B.I.B" raised its hand, and the mecha palm covered with flame patterns solidified. It shook its head and said: "The accumulation is not enough... at least it is not enough to deal with our real enemies!"
Kurokas sighed and shook his head.
…
"Goodbye~! Thank you for your pointer! Uncle Hua, see you next time, it will be the end of our sailing circle! Hahaha..."
The Merrie set sail again and slowly sailed away from Twin Points Lighthouse.
Luffy waved and laughed: "If you encounter the whale that ran away from home, we will definitely say hello to you! Hehehe..."
"Okay!" Nami looked at the record pointer given by Kurokas on her wrist with high spirits, "Let's go straight to the first island we enter the Grand Line!"
"oh!!!"
On the deck, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Sanji all jumped up with excitement. Zoro yawned, lay down on the side of the ship with three knives in his arms, and quickly fell asleep.
Robin reminded Nami, "Be careful, during the initial flight segment, because the magnetic forces of multiple routes are mixed into a mess and affect each other, the weather will be extremely unstable before arriving at the first island..."
Before I finished speaking, the sky that had been clear just a moment ago suddenly started to snow heavily.
Nami immediately shivered from the cold!
"B.I.B" and Robin stretched out their hands, held a snowflake, and looked up at the snowy sky. Back then... when she and Lynch entered the Grand Line, they were flying directly on "B.I.B"'s Ghost Castle, so they started
In her memory, the changeable and extreme weather was not a thrilling impression, but rather romantic and beautiful like a fairy tale...
When Robin came to his senses again, he heard Luffy shouting in surprise: "It's an island! We've arrived at the first island!!!"
Usopp's curious eyes widened, "There is a huge cactus on the island! What a strange place!"
Nami approached Robin and asked curiously: "Sister Robin has been to the Grand Line before, right? Have you been to this island?"
Robin was startled and looked away in other directions. She had already recognized that this place was not too far from Kerra's hometown, the small island that had been deserted many years ago, because the landforms were all shaken by cactus.
He shook his head and said: "No. Because we used to take another route..."
"That's it!" Nami suddenly realized, and then laughed again, "It just so happens that Luffy definitely doesn't want to go to an island he's already visited, haha... I wonder how long it will take for this island to finish recording the magnetism?"
Over there, Luffy and others were curious about the first island they were about to land on. After the Merry passed through a layer of fog and entered the inland seaway of a small island with giant cacti, they were surprised to find that along both sides of the river,
A dense crowd gathered, setting off fireworks, waving colorful flags, and holding banners. The locals happily shouted to the pirate ship sailing into the island: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 'Welcome City' Whiskey Peak"
!!”
"Oh?" Luffy said excitedly, sitting on Merry's head, "Everyone welcomes us!"
How can ordinary residents be so enthusiastic about pirates? Sanji chewed his cigarette speechlessly, "What's going on... There must be something wrong with this!"
…
"Wow hahaha, yes, I am Knight Sanji. My biggest dream in this life is to protect the lovely ladies all over the world!!!"
At night, the moonlight was cold, and the tavern at Whiskey Peak was bustling with activity. Sanji was so happy surrounded by a group of girls, he excitedly drank one glass after another from the large wine glass that was handed to his mouth.
The local people of the Welcome City, under the call of the mayor named Ikarem, held a banquet in this tavern to entertain the Straw Hat Pirates.
Usopp felt that he had the best stage, and he was bragging while drinking. The best thing was that the audience around him was very supportive, and they kept exclaiming in admiration.
Sauron also enjoyed the drink and had already knocked down ten opponents.
Nami drank down twelve of them and continued amidst the cheers.
"One more plate!!" Luffy excitedly raised the empty plate. He had eaten it into a ball shape, and next to him lay the Mr. Chef, who was taking in less air and letting out more air. "I want more!!"
Noisy, cheerful, enthusiastic... It's like a scene of a family of bandits, which is confusing.
Of course, "B.I.B" is definitely not confusing.
It knew that these people in front of it were all bounty hunters disguised as ordinary residents, specializing in hunting novice pirates who were full of fighting spirit and broke into the Grand Line. After getting drunk, the next step was to sharpen their knives and kill pigs at night.
…
"The ice cream you asked for is here."
Robin looked back at Luffy who was full of food, took the tall cup of ice cream brought by the waitress, and handed it to Chopper, whose face was full of stars.
"I haven't been so happy for a long time~" The blue-haired waitress looked at these pirates who were eating and drinking without knowing what day it was, and couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes, "Hehehe..."
Are you schizophrenic, liberating your nature, or have you specially created a personality for your pirate identity? "B.I.B" looked closely at the waitress with a blue single ponytail.
Not surprisingly, this is actually the princess from the Kingdom of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi...
In order to investigate the cause of the domestic crisis in Alabasta, the young princess took the palace guard captain Ikarem and quietly undercover into the bounty hunter organization Baroque Walter, which is the killer organization established behind the scenes of King Shichibu Kaisha Crocodile.
only……
"B.I.B" is a bit confusing. In the comics, Vivi was able to infiltrate Baroque smoothly because Robin, the Sand Crocodile's deputy, deliberately let the situation slip or even guided her. Now that there is no Robin secretly pushing her, how did the little princess sneak in?
If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it.
"B.I.B" didn't take it to heart. Not to mention these bounty hunter killers from Baroque Co., even the big boss behind them, Sand Crocodile, in its eyes, it was just that!
You are just an elite monster, there is no need to pay special attention to it...
Soon, the excitement came to an end, the lights in the tavern were turned off, and it fell into darkness, with snoring coming and going...
〖The sky is slightly bright, inside the Telephone Bug Castle〗
Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu...
Robin was awakened by Xiao Lu's urging voice, and slowly opened his sleepy eyes. In front of his bedside was Xiao Lu's clone in the castle, like an alarm clock.
"Someone called me outside?"
Robin put on a coat, left the empty bedroom, walked towards the castle door, and saw a beautiful and innocent big eye close to the door.
"Nami?" she asked.
With a sudden movement, Nami entered the Telephone Bug Castle. She had been searching for a long time in the tavern that was messed up by Luffy before she found the Castle Telephone Bug on the bar that almost blended into the color of the table.
Robin regained consciousness and asked, "Are you leaving so early?"
Sister Robin has been sleeping in the castle...
Nami shook her head, "A lot of things happened last night," and nodded, "But, um, we're going to leave!"
"Okay, you sit down for a moment while I change my clothes."
Robin nodded and went back to the bedroom. Nami sat down on the sofa, thinking about something while turning her head to look around. Suddenly, a dark helmet appeared in the air, "Looking for me?"
Nami's narrow eyes glowed with a cold white light, and Nami complained: "Don't show up suddenly! Hey, why have you changed? It's not just the visor, but the entire helmet!"
The orange-haired girl clicked her tongue in wonder at the black helmet in the air.
"What's wrong?" Robin changed his clothes and walked out, "Let's go, tell me what I missed..."
As he spoke, Robin and Nami left the Telephone Bug Castle portal. The black helmets turned from real to imaginary, like a dark ghost, and followed them out.
