"Caesar! You're back! I missed you so much!"
As soon as Caesar returned to the General's residence, a white figure rushed towards him, giving him a face full of affection.
Seeing the two-meter-tall Ogre Girl before her, Baby 5 was slightly taken aback.
Although she knew Caesar already had a girlfriend, the other party's height was clearly beyond her expectations.
"Huh? You are..."
"Nice... nice to meet you, Sister. I'm Baby 5, Caesar's personal maid."
Baby 5 looked somewhat uneasy.
Is this the Sister?
So tall!
But so beautiful!
What if she doesn't accept me?
At this thought, a scene involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Yamato looked down at her with a gloomy expression: "Baby 5? Who's that? Someone who dares to compete with me for my husband's affection? Such a person is unnecessary!"
Caesar nodded heavily beside her: "You're right, I must have been bewitched by this woman! Baby 5, get lost! I don't need you anymore!"
Ahhh, no!
Being unwanted, absolutely not!
For a moment, Baby 5's heart was pounding with nervousness.
"Hmm? A personal maid? So, she's his new woman, right?"
Yamato smiled brightly and let go of Caesar: "Then, let's get along well from now on! I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Yamato, Caesar's lover!"
"Lover..."
Baby 5 gently covered her mouth, her eyes filled with even more worry.
Why is she emphasizing this so much?
Is it... a show of strength? Asserting her dominance?
"Ara, what a cute little maid."
Beside Yamato, Robin was also smiling as she looked at Baby 5.
"This is Viola, also Caesar's lover!" Yamato quickly introduced.
"I..."
Robin didn't know how to refute for a moment, so she could only smile awkwardly, ignoring Caesar's teasing gaze.
"But Caesar, you're really a playboy!"
Yamato looked at Caesar with some distress: "If this continues, won't you really grow tired of the old and love the new in the future?"
"How could that be?"
Caesar laughed awkwardly, also feeling a bit embarrassed by Yamato's words.
"Actually, Baby 5 is quite pitiful. She was abandoned since childhood, which caused her psychological trauma. She always feels unwanted. I just wanted to give her a home."
"Eh? Is that so? Caesar, you're the best!"
Yamato looked at Baby 5 in surprise: "If that's the case, then we're family from now on. We all need you!"
"Okay~ Sister~"
Hearing that she was needed, Baby 5's face lit up with joy, and she threw herself into Yamato's arms.
Ahhh, I'm needed by the beautiful and tall Sister!
Indeed, how could such a beautiful person be bad?
I'm really... so happy!
"Two women who are so easily appeased have appeared..."
Seeing this scene, Robin couldn't help but sigh, turning to look at Caesar: "Boss, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Actually, I'm telling the truth."
Caesar spread his hands, seemingly helpless but with a hint of pride: "I wouldn't deceive Yamato about this."
"Is that so..."
Robin nodded, understanding Caesar's meaning.
For a simple girl like Yamato, there's indeed no need to deceive.
"The boss has a soft spot for naive girls."
"Who said that?"
Caesar shook his head slightly: "Are you stupid?"
Robin chuckled, her smile carrying a faint sense of detachment: "Are you setting your sights on me now?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"Comparatively, I prefer men who are a bit more devoted."
"I'm devoted to all of you equally!"
"..."
Robin fell silent. This guy had no shame, and if this conversation continued, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
Caesar, however, pressed on, smiling as he leaned closer to Robin: "How about having dinner together tonight? We can talk about history."
"I remember the boss isn't interested in history, is he?"
"Life isn't just about history, right?"
Hearing Caesar's words, Robin couldn't help but pause for a moment.
"My life is only about history now."
"I don't think that's necessarily true."
Caesar shook his head slightly: "You know, that Marine Admiral Kuzan, who's been chasing you for years… he's good friends with Saul."
Robin was slightly stunned, looking at Caesar with disbelief.
"Surprised, aren't you?"
Caesar chuckled: "Although their focuses are different, Marine Admirals and the Four Emperors are essentially on the same level in terms of combat power. Now that you've started training in Observation Haki, haven't you ever wondered how you've managed to evade such a powerful figure for so many years? Someone of that caliber, wouldn't they know whether the person they froze is actually dead or not?"
"What… are you trying to say?" Robin's voice trembled slightly.
"What I'm saying is, your existence hasn't gone unnoticed, whether it's by Saul or Kuzan."
As Caesar spoke, he tilted his head slightly toward Yamato, who was chatting animatedly with Baby 5: "Or even by us."
Robin let out a self-deprecating laugh: "So, you're saying all this just to sleep with a woman wanted by the World Government?"
"Actually, I'm more inclined to start with a romantic relationship."
Caesar smiled gently: "And compared to all that lovey-dovey talk, I'd rather hear you say—you want to live. After all, who's interested in a dead person?"
"Live…"
Robin was momentarily stunned.
She found it hard to believe that she was hearing these words from Caesar.
"Yeah, you know Yamato's personality. If you were in danger, she'd dive straight into hell after you."
Caesar nodded with a troubled expression: "As for me… although I'd like to say something noble, like friendship or bonds, the truth is, I do have some rather strong ulterior motives toward you. So—"
"Give me a chance?"
Seeing the sly smile on Caesar's lips, Robin couldn't help but laugh: "This is equivalent to making an enemy of the entire world. Even if you have strength comparable to the Four Emperors…"
"Forgive my bluntness, but aside from the Ancient Weapons, there's nothing in this world that can threaten someone at that level."
Caesar interrupted Robin, then furrowed his brow: "Wait, making an enemy of the entire world… isn't that what I was already planning to do?"
"So, you think Yamato's passion for you is fake? That I'm joking about having the Road Poneglyph leading to Laugh Tale? Just to see you take it seriously and then laugh at you mercilessly?"
"Honestly… I'd rather it was you lying to me."
Robin pursed her lips, her eyes slightly reddened, and the smile on her face grew increasingly bitter and forced.
The situation Caesar mentioned had played out more than once in her past life.
"People will die..."
"I don't understand..."
Caesar furrowed his brow, looking down at Robin. Then he tentatively reached out, gently pinching her chin. Robin slightly raised her head, ultimately not dodging, allowing Caesar's fingertips to lightly caress her smooth cheek.
"I'm only eighteen, with at least several hundred years left to live. Even if I die—how is it a disgrace to die with me?"
Hearing this, Robin suddenly broke into a smile, her laughter appearing on her face before her tears. It felt as if a massive boulder in her heart had crumbled, causing her heart to beat fiercely!
"So... the boss really prefers the older sister type?"
"If it's you, even better."
"What a terrible and promiscuous guy."
"So—hmm?"
"Then... it depends on your performance."
Unconsciously, the distance between the two grew closer, to the point where they could clearly feel each other's breath.
Suddenly, Robin tilted her head slightly and planted a gentle kiss on Caesar's cheek. Then, like an elegant spirit cat, she quietly stepped back, escaping from Caesar's arms that were about to close around her...
