A Natural Monster, Starting With Dark Fruit

Among the crowd, Robin quickened his pace.

She never expected that she would be recognized today after entering the Grand Line yesterday.

You know, the photos on Nico Robin's reward order are still of her eight years old.

And her current age is already twenty-three years old.

Since coming of age, Robin has rarely been recognized in West Blue.

Even so, in order to prevent being discovered by the all-pervasive CP organization, Robin will still use a cloak to disguise himself in crowded places.

Unexpectedly, he was still recognized.

Is this the Grand Line?

Fortunately, Robin's psychological quality was relatively strong, and his steps did not stop when he heard his name.

But I can't stay in this place for long.

From a quick glance just now, Robin was very sure that he didn't recognize the man.

It was precisely because they didn't know each other that Robin left in a hurry.

After all...mystery means danger!

Unfortunately, Robin had just left the city and was about to head to the pier to leave while it was dark.

That unfamiliar voice reached my ears again.

"Dark Water!"

As the voice fell, Robin suddenly lost control of his body.

The irresistible gravity turned into an invisible hand, grabbing Robin's body off the ground and flying quickly in a certain direction.

Robin turned his head and looked in the direction where his body was flying.

I saw three figures walking out of the night, one man and two women.

The leading man was the one who recognized her on the street before.

"Hakkawa!"

Seeing that it was Xia Yan, Robin didn't hesitate at all. He immediately crossed his hands on his majestic chest and used the ability of Paramecia Flower-Flower Fruit.

Petals appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Xia Yan's body. Eight arms as white as jade grew out of different locations on her body.

These arms grabbed Xia Yan's neck, arms and feet respectively, trying to bend Xia Yan's body backward and break her back bones.

Once the back bone is broken, the opponent will twitch all over and lose the ability to fight and move instantly.

Ever since he grew up, Robin has always used this move to deal with enemies who are targeting him, with no disadvantages.

It's a pity that those who are chasing her are all West Blue's minions.

So, when she tried to break Xia Yan's back bones just like she did with those little minions in West Blue, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

The eight hands on Xia Yan's body were just like a child trying to bend a steel pipe. Not only could they not bend it at all, but due to the excessive use of force, they turned into a large number of petals and disappeared, just like being attacked. .

At the same time that the petals disappeared, Robin also flew in front of Xia Yan, and was grabbed by Xia Yan's shoulder with one hand.

In an instant, Robin's face filled with horror suddenly turned pale.

Because she discovered that she had lost the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit.

"How can it be?!"

Robin looked at Xia Yan in disbelief.

Both Carina and Nami could see emotions of disbelief, fear, and even despair in this big sister's face and her beautiful eyes.

Nami was very puzzled by this.

Why is this big sister so afraid of the Master?

Carina, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

The other party seemed to be afraid of being recognized or caught. Could he be a criminal with a reward on his head?

"I didn't expect to meet the person I've been looking for in Grand Line. It seems I'm very lucky and don't need to go to West Blue."

Xia Yan first grinned, and then said very domineeringly and forcefully: "Become my subordinate, Nico Robin."

Hearing this, Robin, who was originally full of powerlessness and fear, felt relieved.

Fortunately, it was not the CP organization or Marine, nor the bounty hunter who was eyeing his 79 million Bailey bounty, but the 'ambitious man' who wanted to get his hands on him.

An ambitious man who wanted to get the son of the devil and make a name for himself in the world, Robin had encountered too many encounters during his more than ten years on the run.

But in the end, these people were either forced by Marine to abandon Robin, or were abandoned by Robin on his own initiative.

Robin is used to it.

So, Robin quickly calmed down, with a mask-like smile on his face, and said, "No problem, I'm willing to join you."

"Hahaha... You are very sensible. You are worthy of being the son of a devil who was offered a bounty of 79 million beli at the age of eight."

Xia Yan laughed happily, grabbing Robin's shoulder and changing it to a gentle patting motion.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Carina, Nami, and Robin changed slightly.

Carina and Nami looked at Robin like they were looking at a monster, full of disbelief.

You're lying, right? A bounty of 79 million beli was placed on your head at the age of eight?

The bounty on the evil dragon is only 20 million beli. When this eldest sister was eight years old, the bounty was almost four times that of the evil dragon?

At this moment, Carina and Nami, who did not understand the Ohara incident, could not help but feel afraid of Robin.

As for the change in Robin's expression, it was not because Xia Yan brought back memories.

Instead, she discovered that after the man released his grip on her shoulders, the disappeared fruit ability came back.

Just like Carina and the two girls looked at her, Robin looked at Xia Yan as if he was looking at a monster.

Who is this person?

Why can his ability seal other people's fruit abilities? !

But soon, Robin calmed down his turbulent emotions and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Captain."

"Hahaha... You are indeed the person I like. I appreciate you even more."

Looking at Robin, who was obviously upset but still trying to remain calm on the outside, Xia Yan seemed to be satisfied with her bad taste and couldn't help but laugh again.

So Xia Yan, who was in an extremely happy mood, waved her hand and said: "Let's go, celebrate the joining of the new companions, let's go back and have a banquet!"

Yes, Xia Yan is in a very good mood now, even better than picking up a top-notch Devil Fruit on the road.

Just as Xia Yan said, Robin is the person he has always wanted to find.

If it weren't for Paramecia Barrier Fruit and Logia Mera-mera Fruit, Xia Yan's first stop would definitely not be East Blue, but West Blue.

Because he wants to take Robin under his wing before Crocodile does.

As a time traveler, Xia Yan's narrative layer is higher than that of countless people. He knows most of the secrets of this world.

But as mentioned above, Xia Yan only knows most of the world's secrets, not all of the world's secrets.

Because when Xia Yan traveled through time, the One Piece manga was not finished yet.

The great secret treasure, the blank hundred years, Im's ability, the destructive power of the Ancient Weapon, etc... Xia Yan didn't even know.

But what is certain is that these secrets will be revealed in the final chapter.

And Robin is one of the most important puzzle pieces in the final chapter.
