Chapter 63: Kidnapping Robin, Crocodile’S Fury
"Now that you're on my ship, you can't leave without my consent!"
After hearing this, Robin looked at Luffy with curiosity in his eyes and said.
"I know you, Monkey D. Luffy!"
"You are the pirate known as the [Worst Rookie], with a bounty of 60 million Baileys.
"It's amazing, this bounty."
"It's really impressive for a newbie pirate."
"But unfortunately, your opponent is Baroque Studio."
"You picked the wrong opponent, Monkey D. Luffy!"
Luffy smiled and said as if he didn't care.
"It's just a Shichibukai."
"Rather than that, what I care about now is that I want to keep you as my crew member."
When everyone on the boat heard what Luffy said, everyone immediately exclaimed.
"Luffy, what are you talking about? That guy is an enemy!"
"Yes, Luffy. Icarem was killed by her. How can such a person be a partner?"
"Luffy, Ms. - All Sunday is Mr. 0, Crocodile's partner, who persecutes this country with Crocodile.
The last words were spoken by Vivi in tears.
She tried her best to dissuade Luffy. Such people would definitely destroy Luffy and his gang.
Faced with everyone's dissuasion, Luffy just smiled and said.
"I don't think she's a bad person."
"Vivi, didn't I believe you the same way at that time?"
After Luffy finished speaking, the others were stunned.
Vivi's expression was even more dull, recalling the way Luffy trusted her when he first met her.
but...
Looking at the guy in front of her who persecuted Alabasta and killed Ikarem, Vivi still couldn't bear it.
Luffy continued.
"Besides, didn't you say she was Crocodile's partner?"
"Then if she joins us, wouldn't we be able to learn a lot of information about Crocodile, which would make it easier to save your country?"
At these words, the rest of the Straw Hats couldn't help but nod their heads.
"That makes sense! If that were the case, it would be easier for us to deal with Crocodile."
"Although this woman is an enemy, if Luffy believes her, then there shouldn't be much of a problem!"
"But can she join us so easily?"
Seeing how easily the Straw Hats changed their pervert just because of Luffy's words, Vivi looked puzzled again and said in confusion.
"Why? Why did everyone suddenly accept it?"
"You were obviously against it just a second ago!"
Vivi was very puzzled by this. She couldn't understand this team.
She also doesn't understand why everyone in this pirate group trusts Luffy so much.
Seemingly sensing Vivi's thoughts, Nami suddenly came over and hugged Vivi, and said with a smile.
"Hehe... Vivi, you will know after you sail with us for a while."
"Although Luffy is a bit stupid, he is still very reliable."
"I was just like you before, I didn't believe him at first."
"But after he saved my village, I have been relying on him."
"Vivi, as long as he is here, your country will be safe."
Vivi looked at Nami with tears in her eyes.
Then he looked at Luffy again, asking himself.
"Can Luffy...really save my country?"
"..."
At this moment, Robin suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled, looked at Luffy with a smile, and said with curiosity and interest in his eyes.
"You are really a trustworthy captain, Mr. Luffy."
"But, should I say that you, the captain, are stupid, or that all of you are stupid?"
"Don't you understand yet?"
"Your opponent is Sir Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a pirate recognized by the world government!"
"Before he became Seven Warlords of the Sea, the bounty on his head had already reached 81 million beli."
"Moreover, after becoming Seven Warlords of the Sea, this bounty will be fixed."
"In other words, if he were not Seven Warlords of the Sea now, the bounty would only be higher than 81 million Baileys."
"Mr. Luffy, even so, do you still think you can beat him?"
Luffy didn't want to explain, it was useless to just talk, so he just said.
"Won't you know when you see it with your own eyes?"
Then, with a smile on his face, he looked at Robin and asked.
"What do you think? Do you want to agree to join us directly, or do you want me to force you to stay here~"?
Robin looked at Luffy quietly, and she saw infinite confidence in his eyes.
But he still couldn't hide his curiosity and asked.
"Why would you want me to join you?"
"You don't know me at all, right?"
"Besides, we are still enemies."
"Isn't that weird?"
Luffy replied.
"No reason."
"I just feel that you should be on my ship, so I want to keep you."
Robin was stunned when he heard Luffy's answer.
No reason?
It feels like it should be on this ship?
What are these weird ideas?
Robin laughed again.
"You are really interesting, Mr. Luffy."
"But I'm sorry, I can't agree to your invitation."
"In this case, I will be killed by Crocodile as a betrayal.
"If you want to keep me, just rely on your own ability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Robin crossed his arms and made a strange gesture.
"The second round of flowers blooms!"
With a soft shout, everyone on the boat saw two arms suddenly growing out of Luffy's back, grabbing his head tightly from behind and pulling him back, making a strangulation gesture.
“This………………..what is this?”
"Devil Fruit?"
"What a strange ability! It actually grows hands from the body."
Robin looked at Luffy whose neck was about to be broken backwards, smiled softly, and said.
"With such strength, you can't keep me, Captain Luffy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chuan Yi's eyes suddenly showed shock.
She saw in disbelief that Luffy's neck, which was tightly held by her, suddenly stretched out and broke free from her restraints.
Then he wandered to the second floor and wrapped her whole body up like a rice dumpling.
Then, Luffy put his head in front of Robin, looked at her and smiled.
"It seems like I've defeated you!"
"Your abilities are completely useless to me."
"How is it? Do you want to continue to do it?"
Robin's forehead was sweating now. She really didn't expect Luffy's ability to be like this.
Her main attack ability is to break people's joints, but Luffy is a rubber man, and it won't work if you twist his head ten times.
"...""
Robin exhaled, feeling helpless, looking at Luffy and said.
"It looks like I have to stay here."
Luffy was delighted when he heard this, and then let go of her.
Then he looked at Robin and asked.
"What's your real name?"
For Luffy, Robin felt no malice, and even felt that the other party seemed to trust her, and there was a vague feeling that she was a partner.
This strange feeling made Robin feel an inexplicable trust in Luffy, and he spoke.
"Nico Robin!"
After hearing this, Luffy suddenly yelled on the deck.
"Guys, let's have a party!"
“Welcome Vivi and Robin to join us!”
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Gah!"
Turning his head to look, he found Vivi's mount and pet Karu looking at him, as if saying he had forgotten about it.
Luffy smiled and added another sentence.
"And Karu!"
"Gah!"
Karu shouted again, with a look of joy in his eyes.
"Luffy, didn't you just attend a party?"
Nami said helplessly.
"That's different. This time it's to welcome new members, so of course there will be a banquet.
Luffy explained.
"Yes, yes! Who told you to be the captain?!"
Nami responded.
Then, the rest of the Straw Hats went to prepare for the banquet.
Vivi looked at all this with worry and helplessness in her eyes, and thought to herself
"Is it time for the banquet now?"
Robin kept looking at Luffy and the pirate group curiously, his eyes growing more and more interested.
"What a strange group of people!"
The morning sun rises in the east, dyeing the place where the sea and sky meet in the distance red.
On the sparkling sea, a sheep-headed sailboat slowly moved forward in the direction of the rising red sun.
On the deck, a bunch of people were lying in various places, snoring constantly.
The messy plates and wine glasses around it all indicate that a happy and joyful moment was spent here not long ago.
"Ouch! Sea Kings, punch my brave sea warrior Usopp!"
In his sleep, Usopp suddenly stood up, punched the air, and lay down again.
"Oh! Beautiful lady, don't leave me, just stay together like this!"
Sanji looked happy and twisted around holding a wooden barrel.
Luffy, on the other hand, was drooling and kept shouting incomprehensibly.
"*............"
Everyone's face is filled with happy expressions.
Vivi stood on the second floor, looking at the group of people on the deck below with a complicated expression.
“What an interesting group of people!”
"Really, Princess Vivi?"
A voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Vivi turned her head suddenly, with a flash of anger in her eyes.
"Ms. All Sunday!"
she snapped.
"Don't come near me!"
"Even if Luffy and the others accept you, I will never forgive you.
"You killed Icarim, Alabasta was also killed because of you and Crocodile..."
As she spoke, Vivi's eyes were filled with tears again, and she clenched her fists tightly, with hatred in her eyes.
Robin sat on the fence, crossed his legs, supported his chin with his hand, looked at the red sun in the distance, and said leisurely.
"Mr.8 is still alive!"
"Eh?"
Vivi was suddenly startled when she heard this, stopped crying, and looked at Robin in confusion.
Then he asked again.
"You're not lying to me, are you? I clearly saw his ship explode in the sea."
Robin turned his head, looked into Vivi's angry eyes, and said.
"I'm not interested in killing you."
"And I didn't receive an order to kill you when I came this time. I came here on my own."
Vivi was confused.
"Why? Then why did you blow up his ship?"
Robin looked at Chaoyang again and said calmly.
"Princess Vivi, you are too naive
"If Mr. 8 were allowed to go back so obviously alone, he would definitely die on the road."
"I just let him die early to dispel the idea of other Baroque Studio personnel chasing him."
Vivi was stunned when she heard this, looked at Robin in confusion, and asked.
"Why? Why do you do this?"
"Don't you want Alabasta to perish? Why are you helping us?"
"...~At that time...it was only after we followed you that we found out that Mr. 0's identity was actually Crocodile."
"That's what you deliberately let us know, right?"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Facing Vivi's question, Robin just looked at the sea quietly and said with a slightly confused tone.
"I don't know either!"
"Why would I help you?"
"Probably... I want to see if you are so hard-working and serious, can you change anything?"
"Probably...that's it!"
For Robin, she has been living a life on the run.
So she was very confused about the future.
Sometimes she doesn't know why she does things she does.
Just follow your heart and do it.
Vivi looked at Robin with tears in her eyes, and she saw the confusion in his eyes.
In an instant, her hatred for Robin disappeared a little bit.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
"Puff, puff, puff..."
On the way to the next island, a phone bug suddenly rang on the ship.
Everyone on the boat heard the sound and saw Robin taking out a phone bug from his arms and looking at Luffy quietly.
That seemed to be asking for Luffy's opinion.
After all, judging from the current situation, Robin was forcibly kidnapped by Luffy and brought to the ship.
Luffy came to Robin and answered the phone bug.
Soon, a slightly angry voice came from over there.
"Where have you been, Ms. All Sunday?"
"The Unlucky Duo reported to me that Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine, whom I sent to hunt down Vivi and Ikarem, were defeated by a group of people, and that group also knew the secret of my identity and planned to escort them. Vivi returns to Alabasta.”
"Among those people, there was a guy wearing a straw hat."
"That guy is the pirate with a bounty of 60 million Baileys, Monkey D. Luffy!"
"I want you to come back immediately and send me someone to intercept them halfway."
"We must not let them bring Vivi back to China and ruin my plan."
After these words fell, the air fell into a brief silence.
Seeing no reply, the voice on the other end of the phone became even angrier.
"Hey! Answer me, Ms. All Sunday."
On the other side of the phone, Crocodile was biting a cilantro, his whole face trembling with anger.
There was a reward list in front of him and a phone bug in his hand.
Looking at the guy wearing the straw hat in the reward list was enough, but even Ms. Quan Sunday, who usually answered all his questions, didn't reply today, which made Crockwall even more angry. Come somewhere.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!"
A voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
Suddenly, Crocodile looked stunned and stared at the phone bug, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, Crocodile frowned, his face became extremely gloomy, he bit his cigar fiercely, with murderous intent and anger in his eyes, and asked in an extremely low and cold voice.
"Ms. Where's All Sunday?"
Robin's voice came from over there.
"I fought with Straw Hat Luffy and lost to him. Now I am forced to stay on their ship."
Click!
The cigar in Crocodile's mouth was bitten off and dropped, and Crocodile's heavy breathing and anger could be heard on the other end of the phone.
"What do you want...?"
Luffy listened to Crocodile's extremely angry and cold voice and just said lightly.
"Kick you away!"
The phone bug fell silent.
F-P….
"Guha... Guhahahaha..."
Crocodile laughed in anger.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and Crocodile said harshly in an extremely angry and deep voice.
"Straw Hat, you've pissed me off.
"Aren't you coming to Alabasta?"
"Then come on!"
"I will personally... bury you in hell."
"I'm going to make you pay for your stupidity and let you know that you and I...are not the same class of pirate nephews!"
After Crocodile finished speaking.
Then, he heard Luffy's deep voice.
"You and I are indeed not the same class of pirates!"
Crocodile raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, with pride and pride in his eyes.
F-…
"You... are not worthy to be compared with me!".
