“As the last survivor of O’Hara, the ‘Devil Child’ as the world government calls me, and a thorn in the side of the Navy…”

“What kind of purpose do you have?”

“I need to make a final decision based on your answer…”

“Even if I need to seek a reliable refuge again if I am targeted again for the whereabouts of the ancient weapons, perhaps what happened to Crocodile will happen again, only then you will play a very different role…”

The more you understand the darkness, the more you yearn for the light. .

The long-suffering, the tragedy of the Buster Call did not defeat this strong woman.

In this world, there are many characters who want to change the status quo. Just like the Dragon who built the revolutionary army, Roger, who did not hesitate to die in the public eyes to open a new Era. Kuma who sacrifices himself, And Garp and others who stick to their beliefs and do not want to become dogs for the World Noble.

Perhaps we should also add a historian who is trying to uncover the lost century of history and give the world the truth, the last survivor of O’Hara – Nico Robin!

It is not hatred that fills Robin’s entire being, but the belief and wish of all the innocents who died under the Buster Call!

This is also the biggest difference between her and others in terms of awareness!

A woman truly to be admired!

Just because Will knew herself better than Robin thought, he understood better the meaning of what Robin was asking!

If he had come for the ancient weapons, then perhaps yielding to his force or brief shelter, Robin would have followed him to sea.

But as Robin said, there was no difference between him and Crocodile if he did that, and sooner or later the day would come when the two would part ways or even turn against each other!

Just like in the original book, Robin didn’t open her heart until all the members of Luffy crew stood on the island of Justice, standing in front of Robin who was already desperate, and shouting out the sentence: “Say you want to live!” With tears, I really put down my guard and shouted “I want to live!” in response!

This bond, this trust, this belief that you can sacrifice everything for your partner has nothing to do with strength or weakness!

So although Will has the confidence that one day he will be able to stand at the top of the world and look down on everything, he still needs to have such a companion to share his joy or sorrow!

Otherwise, what can you do if you get everything when you’re alone?

In the end, it still ends up being a lonely man, and Will doesn’t want it!

That’s the real reason why he invites companion after companion to sail with him!

Even though it was difficult to gain Robin’s approval and trust, he was willing to try, and in the end, time would tell.

“If it’s for a purpose, I do need you to help me translate the history text, but the only thing that interests me is those four pieces of colour red Poneglyph that record the location of the ‘Final Island’…”

“And you’ve already got half of one of those four pieces of red Poneglyphs.”

“Come to sea with me…”

“When I stand on top of this world, everything will change with me!”

“… As I need some reliable companions to share all this with me, nothing more.”

Perhaps it was because she felt the sincerity of Will’s words, which made Robin take a deep look at him and then fell into deep thought.

During the time that Robin was considering, even Nami and the others got to know him a little better, and for the first time since the start of their journey, they heard him say what he was really thinking. It was the first time that they felt the loneliness of this man’s heart.

It turned out that, unconsciously, the bond between them was already deepening.

Perhaps everyone has an unknown past that they don’t even want to talk about, but as their understanding slowly deepens, and with the comfort of their companions, sooner or later they will be able to ridicule each other as fun things to do after drinking.

Just at that time, the tears of sadness turn into cheerful ease.

Maybe Will’s bonds with them are too early to reach that level, but it’s an indisputable fact that everyone is slowly changing.

Everything is so desirable!

And so…

“Please take care of me… Captain!”

Robin lifted her head with a smile, at least for this moment she was willing to give one out of ten to choose to believe him for once.

Even if they didn’t get along or felt cheated, later on, there was still room to work it out. After all, betrayal is not the first time for her…

Robin thought bitterly and self-deprecatingly …

That’s why her laugh is so heartbreaking!

This scene was also noticed by Will, but he didn’t say anything, and just smiled happily.

Because now he was not in a position to comfort Robin, nor was he in a position to dictate to her what to do with her life.

And he still preferred to prove it with actions than with silly promises.

If Robin’s defences could be opened in the anime, then why couldn’t that person be him?

Their story is just beginning, isn’t it?

Robin’s story had already been told by Will, so Nami and the others were very happy that Robin had joined them.

After all, to live alone in such a terrible world for many years, while carefully avoiding the navy, and at the same time having to deal with all sorts of distasteful people, as well as inquiring about the history of the text, it was impossible not to have good survival skills.

And Robin’s unique qualities that belonged to a mature woman also gave her a lot of points.

So within a few minutes, Robin managed to mingle with Nami and others, filling the road with laughter.

Even Snow, a fake loli who looks like a loli on the outside but has a ‘tough old woman’ soul living inside, was impressed by Robin’s temperament and was so well-behaved!

As for Koby, this kid had already forgotten his teacher’s existence and was hanging around Robin with his ‘mommy smile’!

Damn! I got isolated!

Will walked alone at the front, feeling particularly lost.

He didn’t know what they were talking about, but he was too embarrassed to join in, so he could only eavesdrop quietly…

After a while, Will’s childishness kicked in, and the devil fruit on his infinity gauntlet quietly lit up…

Nami: (Huh?) (Why can’t I hear you all of a sudden?)

Little Snow: (What are you talking about?) (Are you playing pantomime?)

Koby: (Oooooh~ Sister Robin, I’m deaf, what to do!) 

Robin: (…)

Then Robin quickly stepped forward and nudged Will twice, who was laughing hard.

(It’s you, isn’t it?!)

“…”
