The Pirate: Throne of Bones

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."

After taking the ice-cold rum brought by Robin, Villes glanced at Robin who was trying to stay calm, and comforted Robin with a smile.

however…

How could a "prey" like Robin, who had a bounty of 900 million Baileys, not be nervous in front of the world's most powerful bounty hunter like Villes?

"I, I will try my best."

At this time, Robin was still relatively immature, both in terms of strength and mental quality.

Facing the pressure brought by Villes, he was still able to speak, all relying on the support of his desire to survive.

"..."

In the quiet room, Villes sat on the sofa and drank the rum in his hand very relaxedly.

Robin, who was sitting on the sofa near Villes, put his legs together, his upper body straight, and his hands folded in front of his lower abdomen.

"The wine is good."

“Although it’s not the top rum, it’s still at the top of the list.”

"Originally, I thought that given your situation, even if there was rum stored at home, it would be of such low quality that it would be hard to swallow."

"Now it seems…"

"Your living conditions are still very good~"

Velez's casual ridicule made Robin break out in a cold sweat.

"My...living conditions...this..."

God knows what Robin had imagined, so much so that after hearing Villes's teasing, Robin was so nervous that he had no idea what he was talking about.

Seeing Robin almost exploding on the spot in front of him, Villes immediately burst into laughter.

"Relax, I'm here to chat with you."

"Of course, the premise of this chat is..."

"You're not a pirate yet!"

After hearing Villes' words, under the influence of the desire for survival in his heart, Robin gave the answer almost the moment Villes finished speaking, "Don't worry, I'm not a pirate."

"I just changed a fake name and identity to avoid being chased by the outside world in this pirate alliance."

"I-I definitely didn't become a pirate!"

When he told Verless that he was not a pirate, but was just hiding from the outside world in the "Pirate Alliance" of the Western Sea, Robin's face turned pale with anxiety.

"Isn't he a pirate?"

Glancing at Robin who was nodding wildly to show that he was not a pirate, Villes smiled and pointed at Robin, "Okay!"

"Remember what you said, you, Nico Robin, are not a pirate."

"If you become a pirate one day, what will you do for..."

Before Villes could finish speaking, Robin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will never become a pirate."

"With, with, with..."

"By O'Hara's Tree of Knowledge—"

"I, Nico Robin, will never become a pirate!"

Robin, who passed the doctoral examination at the age of eight and became an archaeologist with perfect scores, has absolutely no problem with his IQ.

Therefore, no matter how nervous Robin was, he could still tell from Villes's words that the other party intended to let him go.

In order to continue to survive, Robin swore an oath in the name of the Tree of Omniscientity without hesitation, swearing that he was not a pirate now and would never become a pirate in the future.

In fact, Robin really has no intention of becoming a pirate now.

Hidden in the "Pirate Alliance" in the West Sea, dealing with the major pirate groups in the West Sea, this is Robin's way of survival, but it does not mean that Robin is already a pirate.

What's more, when dealing with these pirates, Robin used fake names and identities.

What does what XXX does have to do with me, Nicole Robin?

"Well…"

Villes, who could see Robin's thoughts at a glance, didn't say much. He just pondered for a moment before speaking again, "Okay, I'll trust you once."

As he said that, Villeless raised his hand and plucked out a piece of hair from Robin's head under Robin's stiff gaze.

"Have you ever heard of life cards?"

Facing Robin's increasingly stiff face, Velez shook the long hair in his hand, "I will use this hair of yours to make a life card that belongs to you."

"If you become a pirate someday in the future..."

"I will follow the guidance of this life card and end your life with my own hands."

Later, with Robin's face full of disbelief, Villeless put away Robin's hair.

Robin couldn't understand why Velez's attitude towards him was so... strange?

When he first met Verles, Robin thought that Verles, the world's number one bounty hunter, was here to hunt him down.

But looking at Villes' next behavior, he seemed to be planning to let himself go.

Now, the other party has taken another piece of his hair and wants to make it into a life card so that he can kill him when he becomes a pirate in the future.

why?

No matter how hard Robin thought, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Velez doing this.

After putting away Robin's hair, Villes seemed to notice Robin's confusion. After thinking about it, he finally explained his behavior, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."

"At least, not before you became a pirate."

As he spoke, Velez took out his wallet from his jacket pocket.

Opening his wallet, Velez took out a photo from his wallet and placed it in front of Robin.

"Your mother, Nicole Olvia, was my partner for a while."

"At that time, I was looking for the location of a treasure, and I happened to meet your mother."

"even though…"

"Even without your mother's participation, I can still find the location of the treasure."

"But having your mother, Nicole Olvia, join in, has really saved me a lot of time."

"At this point, I am personally grateful to your mother, Nicole Olvia."

Looking at the woman with long white hair in the photo in front of him, Robin shed tears uncontrollably.

In the photo, with Warspite as the background, Villeless, Milena and Nicole Olvia stood in a row, each with a happy smile on their face.

"After that treasure hunt, I invited your mother to join my bounty hunter organization, but your mother did not agree."

"By the time I hear any more news about your mother, Nicole Olvia, it will be time for O'Hara to be destroyed by the Demon-Slaying Order."

With the photos in front of him as proof, Robin did not doubt what Velez said.

After all, in the photo in front of Robin, Nicole Olvia smiled so happily.

At the same time, another doubt in Robin's mind was instantly solved.

[No wonder the other party found me...]

【yes! 】

[I have been friends with my mother for a while, so how could I not recognize myself when I grow up? 】
