Chapter 682: Are you Mr. 2 in disguise?
[Chapter Serialization·Heart Pirates 38·『The Submarine is Finished!』] [Another two years later. Inventor Wolfe shouted excitedly. In the background, there was a white bear playing with Xiaocao, and Trafalgar Law, who was wearing a striped soft hat, sitting on a wooden block and twirling his fingers. In the air around him, rockets, bullets, and gunshots fired by Xiaocao were flying around, shifting back and forth in the huge spherical space, constantly flashing...]——
When "BIB" and Robin followed Sanji to find the others...
Luffy was already exhausted and lying on the floor of the palace with wounds all over his body, snoring. He was accidentally stepped on by Nami, who kept bringing Chopper the medicine box, bandages and hot water, but he showed no sign of waking up.
"Sister Robin!" Nami looked at the two people who pushed the door open with surprise.
Sanji twisted his body to get past him, "Ms. Nami, let me help you with this."
"Thank you." Nami wiped the sweat from her forehead, walked over quickly, lowered her head and hugged Robin.
Nami was actually also seriously injured, but fortunately, Chopper shared a lot of the pressure when fighting with those Baroque people. The reindeer was so powerful that when he couldn't hold on any longer, he took out a special pill called "Senzu Bean" and ate it, and his strength suddenly increased... Of course, the result was that half an hour later, he was as weak as a deflated ball. He lay on the golden flying carpet and rested for a long time before he barely recovered the strength to treat his companions.
"What's wrong?" Robin hugged Nami back, noticing that the girl was in a bad mood.
"Sister Robin..." Nami whispered in her ear, "I wish I could be as good as you..."
Seeing Chopper taking a special pill to protect himself, and then going berserk and fighting with the enemy on the spot... Nami felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"..." Robin patted Nami's back gently and watched the chef help Chopper treat the other people. The sniper was lying with bloody bandages all over his body. It was hard to see his expression or whether he was awake or unconscious. Luffy was sleeping soundly while being tortured by Chopper and Sanji. He had no intention of moving and let them do whatever they wanted. The swordsman was sitting against the wall with bloody bandages all over his body. Even when he closed his eyes to rest, he was still holding his three knives.
Suddenly, Zoro raised his face with many cuts on it, turned his head to look to the side, and smiled, "You are right next to me, right?"
"oh?"
As expected, a pitch-black helmet appeared in the air nearby. He turned his head and stared at the green-haired swordsman with his narrow eyes shining faintly. "It seems that you have awakened your domineering aura..."
Clang, Zoro slightly unsheathed the Wado Ichimonji and said with a smile: "I prefer to call it the 'iron-slashing realm', because I can feel the breath of everything, so my sword can follow those breaths and cut them off - but yes, I think that's what you and Robin call 'armament Haki' and 'observation Haki'!" He looked at his smiling face reflected on the blade, "But I'm still very unskilled. When I can truly master it, I should be able to fully enter the realm of 'iron-slashing'."
Isn't that nonsense? Learning Ryuo right from the start is too difficult. 『BIB』 thought, if the Sky Island boss Enelu was given to Zoro, would he be able to fully awaken his Haki and kill Enelu, who was easily defeated?
Soon, "BIB" shook his head. Enelu's devil fruit level was not bad, and the beginner's Haki might not be able to withstand the thunder god bombardment of the Thunder Fruit...
"In this case, the only person left who won't be domineering is a certain lecherous cook..." Zoro rubbed his chin and grinned.
"Huh?" A certain lecherous cook raised his ears and turned back angrily, "What did you say? Idiot green algae head?! Watch out or I'll kick you!"
"Why, did I say something wrong?"
"Even if you don't have Armament Haki or Observation Haki, I can still crush you with my feet!"
"Okay! Come and give it a try if you have the guts! Don't think I can't cut through the gold!"
Seeing these two people arguing fiercely, "BIB" found it interesting. It was obvious that Zoro wanted to remind Sanji not to let down his guard, and Sanji also clearly understood Zoro's warning, but these two people just wanted to argue with each other, as if they couldn't chat without arguing...
Robin let go of Nami, and Nami remembered something and returned the hidden little green to Robin.
Robin took the little green and put it in his bag, then asked, "Where's Princess Vivi?"
"She and her father, along with several leaders of the rebels," Nami wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled, "went to the navy to find Crocodile... They said they wanted to get to know everything face to face!"
『BIB』 then opened his memory bank and flipped through the comics.
Well, in the comics, Lao Sha really blew himself up and admitted to the rebel leader Kosha that he had done some conspiracy...
These villains are really interesting.
"BIB" was speechless.
I guess if Weiwei and the others go to Smoker's place and confront the imprisoned Crocodile face to face, given Crocodile's tolerance, he will probably admit it directly. He has nothing to lose...
～～～～～～～～～～～ Luffy slept for a whole day and night and only woke up in the afternoon of the next day.
"I~want~to~eat~meat~!!!"
As soon as he woke up, the whole palace seemed to be filled with his roar, and the chefs in the palace began to get busy...
Robin watched all this.
Vivi, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Usopp... as well as the maids and guards of the palace, the falcon Bell, the jackal Jaka, and the king Cobra, all chatted and laughed with Luffy who had just woken up and was eating a lot to replenish his energy. They told him what happened during the day and night he was unconscious, what happened to the rebels, what happened to Crocodile, etc. Although Luffy was only focused on eating and didn't listen at all...
"Haha, Sister Robin, let's drink together—" Nami looked over with a smile while holding up her wine glass. Seeing her lowering her head to wipe her eyes, she asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"Nothing..." Robin shook his head and said softly, "I just remembered some things from the past..."
After a pause, she murmured, "They really look so similar..."
The scene before her reminded her of the same situation after Lin Qi defeated Hai Yina. He ate so much that the chefs in the Xikaial Palace were so busy that they couldn't keep up...
What is like? Like what? Nami tilted her head in confusion, watching Robin leave the bustling restaurant alone, and couldn't help but wonder.
Until everyone took a relaxing bath together in the evening, Nami still didn't see Robin.
…
〖Night falls——〗
A Den Den Mushi that almost blends in with the environment lies on the roof of the palace.
“…”
Robin changed his clothes, hugged his knees and sat at the gate of the castle, looking up at the stars in the night sky. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there or looking at them.
Suddenly, she looked back.
In the bright castle living room, in the empty air, a pitch-black mecha helmet slowly emerged, as if it was drawn out of thin air by a very talented painter. The helmet spread downwards little by little, and to the left behind the neck, first the pitch-black right shoulder mecha, and then the left arm armor covered with blue flame patterns, all the way to the right hand at the end. In this way, a pitch-black armor helmet and an arm armor covered with blue flame patterns took shape in the air; however, the materialization of "BIB" did not stop there. The edge of the pitch-black flame spread to the right shoulder again, and little by little, as if a pitch-black fire was burning, a right arm armor covered with red flame patterns was burned out from the seemingly non-existent void.
Bang! 『BIB』clenched his right fist tightly, and it became completely solid.
A pitch-black mecha helmet was suspended in the air, with two mecha arms covered in red and blue flame patterns hanging from the left and right below...
Robin turned around and continued to look up at the night sky, counting the stars one by one.
…
That night, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Vivi, Chopper, Robin and "BIB" gathered in a room specially set aside for the Straw Hats to rest.
"Leaving tonight?" Vivi looked at Nami in surprise.
Nami said: "That's right!"
"I also think it's better to leave early," Zoro said with his arms crossed, "We are pirates after all, and it would be rude to stay here."
Sanji agreed, "That's right. And the navy's movements are a bit worrying."
Usopp said: "Let Luffy decide!"
"Okay!" Luffy nodded seriously, "Let's eat Alabasta's delicacies again and leave--"
Bang! Nami punched him directly, "Eat your head! Leave now!"
"But..." Weiwei opened her mouth, wanting to say a thousand words, but not knowing how to start. At this time, Robin walked towards her and asked, "Can we talk alone?"
Weiwei was startled, "Okay."
…
Robin took Vivi to the next room and told her about the information recorded on the historical stone tablet that the Nefertari family had guarded for generations. The Alabasta royal family had the responsibility to protect the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Pluto...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Weiwei listened quietly, and the originally hesitant look in her eyes gradually became firm.
And next door...
"BIB" came through the wall and saw Luffy angrily yelling at Den Den Mushi: "Are you kidding me?!"
"...Anyway, I'm on your ship now!" The Den Den Mushi said with the goose voice of Mr. 2, the swan shemale Von Clay, "In order to get rid of that navy colonel Gui Kanchou, I worked very hard - Wow! Why is that guy here again!?"
Smoker went to deal with the Merry? "BIB" was moved. I wonder if this guy will reveal that Robin is mixed in with the Straw Hats...
…
Weiwei opened the door and followed Robin out.
Seeing Luffy, Nami and others standing at the door ready to go, although Vivi had made up her mind, tears still welled up in her eyes.
It's time to say goodbye...
"I really want to go on adventures with you guys regardless of everything and be a free pirate."
Weiwei, along with her pet running duck Kalu, accompanied everyone out of the palace through the secret passage. Her long, smooth blue hair fluttered in the night wind. She choked up and refused to wipe away her tears. "But... I love my country more! I... As a princess who grew up protected by everyone in this country, I also have the obligation to fulfill my responsibilities as a princess..."
Weiwei looked at the figures in front of her who seemed a little blurry through her tears and asked in a trembling voice: "Next time we meet, are you still willing to call me partner?"
Luffy was carrying a large bag of meat and asked curiously, "Weiwei, are you that Mr. 2 in disguise?"
“……?!” Weiwei was stunned with tears in her eyes.
"If not, prove it!" Luffy chuckled, "How many people are there on our ship?"
Tears rolled down uncontrollably. Vivi glanced at the grinning Luffy, the smiling Zoro, the cigarette-lighting Sanji, the chuckling Usopp, the tearful Chopper, the melancholy-smiling Nami, the distant Robin, and the invisible ghost lingering in the air... She couldn't hold it in any longer and cried, "Ten!!!"
"That's right!" Luffy grinned and held out his palms together.
"Gah!" Kalu raised his wings and wrapped them around Luffy's palms. Vivi also excitedly stretched out her ten fingers and covered Luffy's palms.
Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Nami followed suit, but Chopper looked at his two deer hooves at a loss. He suddenly remembered that he could transform into a human with fingers, so he transformed immediately. "And me!"
At this moment, flower petals emerged from the top of the overlapping palms of the crowd and an arm grew out.
Under the puzzled gazes of Nami, Luffy and the others, he raised a finger and pointed at the entrance of the palace passage. On the other side came Robin's voice, who was not far away, "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave..."
Luffy and the others looked over and immediately saw the guards of the Alabasta Palace chasing after them in a hurry. They probably thought their princess had been kidnapped! "Guys~~"
Luffy held down the straw hat on his head, leaped out laughing, chased after Robin in front of him, and shouted under the night sky, "Run~~!!!"
～～～～～～～～～～～ The sky was getting light. When Robin and others found the Merry, they found a note nailed to the mast on the deck.
"This time I am just repaying the favor you showed me ten years ago. I won't pretend I didn't see it next time."
"Who left this?" Usopp peeled off the note in confusion.
Zoro asked, "Is that Mr. 2?"
Sanji said: "Maybe it's that marine?"
"Navy?!" Chopper was shocked.
"How is that possible?" Nami said without taking it seriously. "Anyway, let's set sail as soon as possible!"
"BIB" floated behind and wondered, was the shemale Von Clay... arrested by Smoker yesterday? Indeed, Smoker, who had mastered Haki many years in advance and had the Sin-Kan-Kan Fruit, seemed to have no problem catching Von Clay who was just imitating the fruit... Speaking of which, in the comics, Von Clay was originally arrested and imprisoned by Hina, who had the Sin-Kan-Kan Fruit.
The way things are going has changed, but it hasn’t changed completely. This is really a philosophy.
When "BIB" was thinking to himself, he came to his senses and found that it was already dawn. Boom, boom, boom, boom - the hull of the Merry shook and was pierced by more than a dozen thick black iron spears, instantly becoming tattered.
Looking at the sea behind, a warship was chasing closely.
In front of the warship, a pink-haired female navy officer whose body was made of smoke was issuing a righteous rebuke, while Luffy and Zoro were rubbing their hands together, while one drew out his double swords and said with a grin, "Is it also a natural system? It's a good opportunity to try out the armament color that I just mastered, to see if it still works..."
Shaking his head, "BIB" flew back to Robin's side. Of course, they didn't care much about this level of pursuit by the navy...
Just like that, in the chase between "justice" and "evil", "evil" temporarily gained the upper hand and sailed away arrogantly.
only……
Robin was standing by the boat, enjoying the sea breeze and gazing at the boundless sea, when he suddenly felt a shadow pressing down upon him.
"Hey, hey, hey, am I seeing things?!" Usopp's horrified voice came from behind.
Robin raised his head and his eyes slowly widened in surprise.
A huge shadow fell from the sky and completely covered the Merry. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, Chopper, and Nami looked up in the shadow and stared in amazement...
"BIB" raised his narrow eyes with a gleam in them, and looked coldly at the old, dilapidated pirate ship that was dozens of times the size of the Merry, falling upside down in the sky... from a height of ten thousand meters above.
