One Piece: My Spirit

Half a day later, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Albana.

In a room on the second floor of a hotel in Albana, after changing into a long robe, Shire looked out the window at the still bustling street even after nightfall. Marilou beside her was in much better condition than before. At the same time, she also had a large water bottle hanging around her neck, as if to keep herself hydrated all the time.

At this time, there was a regular knock on the door, and Marilou walked to the edge of the door with a large swaying kettle, jumped up hard and opened the door.

"Lilu! Lilu!"

And it was Robin who appeared outside the door at this time, wearing a white coat on the outside, a purple top and a short skirt on the inside.

Robin, who was expressionless, glanced at Marilou next to him, and then his eyes fell on Charles who was standing by the window with a lazy look.

After closing the door of the room, Robin sat on the chair in the room, staring at Charles with his chin in his hands without saying a word.

Charles didn't feel strange because of being stared at by Robin. Instead, he slowly poured himself a glass of water, took two sips, and then said:
"By the way, do you want to drink water? Alabasta's climate is really uncomfortable. If you don't drink more water, you may suffer from heat stroke."

Robin couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that Charles was talking about some irrelevant things, but he still didn't speak first, as if he didn't want to lose the upper hand in the confrontation between the two.

And Charles seemed to have guessed Robin's thoughts and smiled: "It seems that our lady 'Devil's Son' doesn't want to talk about these things. If that's the case, let's talk about other things."

When Robin heard that Ciel called her the 'son of the devil', he looked at Ciel with a sharper look in his eyes.

"Hehe. But before that, I was still very curious. Why didn't you choose to do it in the end? I was injured so badly at the time, and it was obviously such a good opportunity."

Charles didn't seem to notice Robin's strangeness, but instead waited for Robin's answer with a smile on his face.

But this time Robin did not remain silent, but looked seriously into Charles' eyes and said, "Because I know you were lying!"

"why?"

Charles was even more curious about how Robin saw it?

After thinking for a moment, Robin looked into Charles' eyes and smiled lightly:

"Oh, a woman's intuition."

"Uh"

For a while, what Charles said just now was blocked by Robin's 'female intuition', and finally Charles shrugged helplessly: "Okay, then I also talk about the deal, shall I?
Robin's face turned serious after hearing what Charles said about the 'deal'. At this moment, Robin still remembered what the man in front of him said to himself in front of the half-destroyed town half a day ago.
"Don't you... don't you want to do something?"

"For example. Kill me!"

At that time, Charles, who seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, said so nakedly to Robin, and Robin did indeed have murderous intentions in that instant!
The CP members who knew their identities and whereabouts at the scene were all dead, and the only one who knew was the lieutenant commander. As long as he killed Shire, he could indeed solve the problem of his exposure.

And all this seemed so beautiful, but soon Robin calmed down. Although Shire looked shaky at this time, it always gave Robin a very dangerous feeling. He was not a hunter, and the other party was not the prey to be slaughtered. On the contrary, Robin felt that he was the prey, and the other party was the hunter!

The identities of the hunter and the prey are all in one thought, he is waiting for me to take the bait!

This was Robin's truest thought at the time, and it was just like what Robin said just now about the 'female intuition'. In the end, Robin still chose to leave without making any preparations.

But when Robin was about to leave again, Charles who was not far away suddenly laughed:
"Since... you won't kill me, then... do you want to make a deal?"

"Example. I've never met you."

When hearing Shire's last words, Robin couldn't help but frowned and looked at the lieutenant commander in front of him again.

in the hotel room
"How do you think about it? I can guarantee that I have never met Nicole Robin, so you don't have to worry about your identity and whereabouts being known by the world government and CP."

Charles poured himself a glass of water, then poured another glass of water and pushed it in front of Robin, waiting for her answer.

And Marilou sat on the bed obediently, looking curiously at Charles and Robin who were talking with her big eyes.

Robin stared into Shire's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Aren't you a navy? Are you not afraid of being exposed when you cooperate with a wanted criminal like me? And what is your purpose?!"

Charles seemed to have expected that Robin would ask this question, and then he smiled and said, "Of course I don't want to be exposed, not to mention that the world government itself has set up a bad example of 'Shichibukai', so why do you think the navy can't cooperate with wanted criminals?

But to explain it in another way, I am instigating against the enemy's internal high-level and disintegrating the enemy from within, how about it?Want to do Infernal Affairs? "

For Ciel, cooperating with Robin can bring more explicit or covert benefits to Ciel, which is far more useful than handing her over to the World Government, and now that Ciel has also turned against CP, it is naturally impossible to do such a thing as an enemy.

Most of the time, the means are just the means to achieve the ultimate goal. Just like the method used to establish a set of "hidden rules" for pirates in Rogge Town, there is no absolute right or wrong.

Since there are benefits, there will also be hidden dangers, but Shire will try to reduce these hidden dangers as much as possible instead of completely eliminating them, and what Shire does has his own set of moral judgment standards, and will not exceed his own set of moral standards.

Do something and don't do something, once you break through your inner moral standard, you will only become another person like a colonel mouse in the end.

On the contrary, Robin looked at Shire, the lieutenant commander of the navy, in a little surprise. This was very different from the navy she had encountered. In one sentence, it was "a navy that was not like a navy", but Robin also probably knew what Shire wanted.

"You want information about Baroque Works?"

"That's right, and at the same time I want more information about the underground world."
