Looking at the dozen or so marines in front of him who were tearing apart barbecue as if they were reincarnations of starving ghosts, Robin sitting aside was in a state of confusion almost the entire time.
Is it such a miserable life to be in the navy now? How many days have you not eaten decent food?
"Little girl, what's your name? Since you said you are a resident of this island, you must be quite familiar with the island's terrain.
We want to ask you to do a favor, and we will pay you a satisfactory salary after the task is completed, what do you think?"
Looking at the barbecue that Wood handed to him, Robin declined politely, and then showed a harmless smile.
"Brother Navy, just call me Robin. I'm not particularly familiar with the terrain on this island, but I have been to many places because I have to collect medicine every day.
No matter where you are looking for, I think I can help."
When she heard Wood's inquiry, Robin showed a friendly smile, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was still thinking about how she should offer help if Wood didn't ask for help.
Russ and others on the side also smiled happily when they heard Robin's words. If there were local people to help, the difficulty of finding the treasure location would be greatly reduced.
Of course, not everyone present had a happy expression at this moment. For example, a man who was feasting on food did not close his mouth after hearing the girl's name. He even dropped the barbecue in his hand.
Self-aware.
"What did you just say your name was?"
Wood looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with a look of surprise on his face. He finally understood why he always felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar before. She was one of the protagonists in the future!
"My name is Robin..."
Looking at the excited young navy in front of him, Robin felt a little uncomfortable.
Nico Robin, the son of the devil, is a dangerous person who was offered a bounty of 79 million Baileys by the Navy when he was only eight years old.
However, several years have passed, and Robin's appearance has changed significantly from what was mentioned in the wanted poster, and without giving her full name, almost no one can associate her with being the son of the devil.
After all, the sea is so vast, and there are countless people named Robin. Normal people would not regard a seemingly harmless person like her as a big shot with a bounty of 79 million Baileys.
But looking at the emotional Wood in front of him, Robin felt something bad in his heart. Even after the other person said the next sentence, Robin jumped back like a frightened wild cat and distanced himself from Wood.
"Robin? Nico Robin, the son of the devil, the last survivor of O'Hara?"
After hearing Wood's accurate explanation of his origin, Robin gave up the last bit of chance and turned around to run into the forest.
At the moment, Robin can no longer care about what the "One-Eyed Pirates" will do to her if she fails to complete the mission.
These people in front of me are marines, and they also recognize me. If they are caught by the other party, I will only die.
Ruth and the others have naturally heard of the name of Nico Robin, the son of the devil. In order to show the danger of the other party, the World Government said that it would bring harm to the entire world, and was fined 79 million at the age of eight.
Bounty.
Their captain Wood, a former navy lieutenant colonel, first released hundreds of Impel Down prisoners, and then forced back the Golden Lion Shiki and the Navy Rear Admiral Gion, with a bounty of only 50 million beli.
In other words, the kid in front of them is a more dangerous guy than their captain.
Almost out of professional instinct, after hearing that the opponent was the son of the devil who would bring harm to the world, and that the opponent was preparing to escape at this moment, Russ and a former navy corporal in the team rushed over.
"Four rounds of flowers blooming!"
As an ordinary girl, Robin's physical abilities are naturally not comparable to those of naval officers like Ruth.
Seeing that the situation was in danger, Robin did not care about hiding his abilities and directly used his superhuman devil fruit "Flower Fruit" ability.
Two slender arms suddenly appeared at the feet of Russ and the corporal, and attempted to trip them both down.
However, for the navy captains and corporals of the headquarters, such resistance was obviously too weak.
Under the absolute suppression of their physical abilities, the arms that bound their legs were easily broken free and turned into petals and disappeared.
Seeing that the fists and kicks were about to cover him, Robin instinctively squatted down and protected his head with both hands.
She has done this posture frequently in the past few years, and it has even become an instinct.
For a girl who has been wandering in the sea since she was eight years old, resistance is obviously meaningless. In order to survive, she must learn to be constantly tolerant and parasitic on the strong.
Seeing the girl who suddenly held her head and crouched in defense, Ruth and the others instinctively wanted to stop, but found that the fists they threw out could no longer stop the car.
"shave------!"
And just when Russ and the others were about to touch the girl with their fists, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Russ and the others.
And one punch and one kick came first and hit Russ and the others on the face, sending them both flying out together.
"Do you guys still have any humanity? You actually want to hit a little girl so cruelly!"
Robin, who had his eyes closed tightly, opened his eyes in confusion but fear because he felt no pain and heard the sound close at hand.
What caught his eye was the unfamiliar back figure. Just like when he encountered a beast before, the other party saved him for the second time, and this time he knew his true identity.
"But Captain, this guy is the son of the devil and a wanted criminal by the World Government. It is said that she will bring disaster to the entire world."
Russ got up from the ground after being punched by Wood. Because Wood had just held back his hand, the opponent was not seriously hurt at the moment. He just wondered why Wood wanted to protect the legendary son of the devil.
"God is the son of the devil. She is just an ordinary child in her teens. Can you believe the nonsense of those guys in the World Government?"
Besides, we are no longer a navy, do we still need to be the lackeys of the World Government?
I just saw you two gentlemen being cruel to a teenage girl. As your boss, I feel ashamed for you."
Robin, who was squatting on the ground, was stunned when he heard Wood reprimanding Ruth and the others. Although what Wood just said was not much, the amount of information contained was huge.
First of all, the young navy lieutenant commander in front of him, unlike others, seemed to have no obvious ill intentions towards him.
Secondly, these navies here are actually not real navies. No, it should be said that they were just navies!
