Pirate's Swordsman

The slim figure in front of him, at the edge of the half-dark light, had a mysterious intellectual temperament. After the initial slight panic, the pair of eyes had regained their composure and looked at him quietly.

"Finally found you, Nico...Robin."

Xia Nuo also looked at her quietly. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "Why, it seems like you don't hit me?"

"Why are you afraid?"

Robin smiled slightly, "Krokdal died in your hands. In a sense, you saved me. I should thank you."

"rescue?"

Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, "You think so? If you were on the street just now, you should have known that I came here to ask for you. The reason for asking you is similar to Crocodile. You are not afraid of what I just said." Once you gain freedom, will you fall into the clutches of an even more terrifying enemy?"

"What could be worse than being in a place like this?"

Robin asked with a smile.

"maybe."

Xia Nuo shrugged, and then laughed heartily: "Okay, I won't scare you anymore, let's get to know each other, this is the first time we meet, I am Xia Nuo."

"The reason why I came to you is to ask you to help decipher the historical text I have there. Once the decipherment is completed, you can leave at any time. I will never force you to stay."

"Is that really the case..."

Robin murmured softly, his expression still as usual.

As smart and astute as she is, she had guessed this possibility as early as the moment Xia Nuo appeared.

"Lord Xia Nuo's self-introduction is unnecessary. Who among the pirates who are qualified to set foot on the Grand Route has not heard of the name of the Four Emperors?"

She raised her head and stared into Xia Nuo's eyes, and suddenly smiled: "But Master Xia Nuo was wrong about one thing. This is not the first time we have met."

"Ok?"

Xia Nuo was slightly startled, looked at Robin in confusion, and frowned.

He couldn't remember where he had seen Robin. After all, this was his first time coming to the Kingdom of Alabasta, and when he was still on the Grand Line, he also took a completely different route from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Logically speaking, there should be no chance of any interaction with Robin.

"That happened a long time ago. It's normal for Sir Xia Nuo not to remember."

Robin had a smile in his eyes: "Whiskey Peak, when you fought against Vice Admiral Kanser of the Navy Branch, I, as a leader of the Iron Sword Pirates, was at the scene."

Is there such a thing?

“Whiskey Peak…”

Xia Nuo was a little surprised. He thought carefully about the scene before and after the hard battle. They flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and finally settled on a certain frame.

The cloak of justice fluttering in the wind, the smiling blue-haired girl, the shattered ancient bell tower, and the mysterious black shadow that retreats far away.

"So it turns out that the one driven away from the bell tower by Kanser was you..."

Xia Nuo touched the stubble on his chin and said with great interest: "That's quite a coincidence, hmm... So what does this mean, a reunion of old friends after six or seven years?"

"It's certainly better if you think so."

Robin chuckled lightly, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, "After all, you will be my new boss from now on. Let's establish a good relationship first, and then my life will be better."

You can live a more comfortable life, right? "

"Whatever you want."

Xia Nuo smiled. Robin's emotional intelligence and temperament were indeed to his liking. This kind of attitude that was just right between vigilance and overzealousness satisfied him quite a bit.

He never expected that as soon as he showed up, he would be able to make Robina bow to him with his illustrious reputation. After all, he had a domineering aura, not a domineering aura.

It is enough not to be hostile and maintain a superficial friendly relationship. First, take Robin back to the Isle of Winds. Getting her to heart-to-heart is a long-term matter. If you can't rush it now, there is no need to rush.

…………

It was early in the morning when he found Robin, and before the sun had climbed too high, Xia Nuo had already left the royal capital and embarked on a journey back to his territory.

Before leaving, Xia Nuo gave Robin some time to pack her things and took a copy of the historical text that Crocodile found with her.

As for the state affairs of Alabasta, Xiano did not pay too much attention to it. He did not have the time and did not think it was necessary.

The two masterminds behind the chaos in the kingdom, Crocodile and Moonlight Moria, had both died in his hands, and the scene of the two colluding and joining forces was witnessed by countless people.

The situation can be said to have reversed in an instant. If Kobra, as the king, is so incompetent that he cannot seize such a good opportunity, then the position of the Neferutali royal family must indeed be changed.

…………

The journey back was smoother than when it came, with almost no decent storms. It took less than three days for Xiano and Robin to return to the waters of Totland.

It's interesting to say that when Robin first sat on the eagle's back, Xiao Luo expressed strong opposition and dissatisfaction, and even almost threw Robin out of the sky.

After all, this guy has the blood of a noble king flowing in his bones. Although he is usually kicked around by Xia Nuo for nothing, he actually has a very high self-esteem.

Except for the first group of old crew members who got along well with each other, the rest of the cadres under Xia Nuo, let alone sitting on it, even touching a feather, might be beaten by Xiao Luo so fat that they would not even recognize their parents.

Ace is the representative figure among them. After accidentally seeing Kidd leaning on Xiao Luo's back to bask in the sun, he was full of envy and followed suit. As a result, Xiao Luo was awakened and flapped his wings as soon as he woke up. After entering the sea, he was fished out by the Spade Pirates a few hours later.

It didn't matter if he was beaten by Xia Nuo, but if he was beaten by a bird, no one would be convinced. So, as soon as Ace woke up, he started trying to die again.

As a result, after trying dozens of times and being beaten all over the head every time, he finally sadly discovered that the bounty amount announced by the Navy Headquarters still had reference value. The bounty of more than 500 million Baileys was really just for him. He is not the opponent of Ronaldinho who is worth 7.8 billion Baileys.

Sometimes, the truth is so cruel, the gap between people and birds is wider than the gap between people.

……

However, this kind of thing did not happen to Robin.

Although Xiao Luo was reluctant at first under Xia Nuo's order, he could only barely tolerate Robin getting on his back.

But in the next few days of getting along with each other, Xia Nuo discovered that this guy had gradually become intimate with Robin. Even after entering the new world, when Robin stroked its back, he would squint his eyes and show a comfortable expression. expression.

Even Xia Nuo didn't expect this situation. After thinking about it, he could only shrug and attribute it to Robin's personal charm.
