Nico Robin.
Born on Ohara, the archaeological island in the West Blue, she was an Ohara survivor with a bounty of tens of millions at the tender age of 8. She is a Flower-Flower Fruit ability user and a future member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
No wonder she disliked the Marine; in her early years, Nico Robin's family and companions died under Marine cannon fire, establishing an enmity with the World Government.
He hadn't expected his wife, Rona, to be the famous Demon Child Nico Robin.
How did that saying go? "One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because one is in the mountain."
Lost in love, he hadn't considered this possibility.
There was no helping it; the difference between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional real person was too great.
However, based on the timeline, Nico Robin was exactly eighteen this year, likely in a period of wandering and fleeing, so he indeed had a chance to meet the young Nico Robin.
He figured Nico Robin was in hiding due to the bounty, and he didn't mind her concealing her real name.
Isn't this a coincidence?
In the vast sea of people, just by looking at each other one more time, their eyes met.
He had initially found her knowledgeable, intellectual, and Elegant, with a scholarly and refined demeanor that drew him in, which led him to pursue her with all his might.
Sometimes, fate is just that wonderful!
...
Looking at the textual information about Nico Robin in the book, he was even more pleasantly surprised.
No wonder he felt his body strengthening in all aspects; it must be the "blessing" from Nico Robin's own attributes.
It seemed that as long as that act was performed well and Nico Robin showed satisfaction, he could receive an excellent evaluation and produce Devil Fruit Power, which was the key to activating Senbonzakura's Shikai.
Looking at his slightly panting little wife, he suddenly felt that Nico Robin held a great treasure waiting to be developed, emitting a dazzling golden glow all over her body.
She was simply too beautiful!
Wait.
If marrying one wife brought such benefits, then if he married several powerful wives, wouldn't he be soaring to the heavens?
One must know that in the current Pirate World, female powerhouses were not few; he had heard of several female pirates alone.
And there were also a few female generals in the Marine with impressive strength and looks.
For example, Empress Boa Hancock, Hina, Kalifa, and so on.
If he were to marry all of them, it would simply be... cough cough, quite difficult.
One must know that most countries in the Pirate World practiced monogamy, and polygamy was not popular.
Not popular does not mean non-existent.
Martin suddenly remembered something: his deceased father was a citizen of the Alabasta Kingdom, and he naturally held that nationality too.
Alabasta is a member of the World Government and a typical desert country, producing gems and gold, making it very wealthy.
The men there were the legendary ones who wore a cloth on their heads and felt they were the richest in the world.
According to the Alabasta Kingdom's law, male citizens had no restrictions on the number of wives they could marry, as long as their financial resources and wives permitted it.
Hmm, it seems he had great potential for a large family of wives and concubines!
Cough cough, it's better not to be greedy and look for more, lest his kidneys explode.
Nico Robin was very strong and also very pitiful, now only able to live under an assumed name. Since she didn't want to expose her identity, he shouldn't reveal it either; he would just treat her as Rona.
He only hoped she could stay with him for a long time and live happily ever after their marriage.
"Rona, you know I am a citizen of the Alabasta Kingdom, and in our country, one can marry several wives..."
Martin looked at his beloved wife, teasing her intentionally.
"My dear, do you have any other girls you like? If you want to marry other girls... Rona will not object, and will support you..."
As Nico Robin spoke, tears welled up in her sparkling eyes.
"Don't cry, I was just joking, understand?"
"Baby, you are the only one in my heart."
Martin immediately cupped her pretty face and kissed her eyes, making the tears disappear.
[Evaluation: Normal]
[Obtained: Slight increase in Affection, slight increase in Forging Experience]
Uh!
By the way, are there any five-star ratings or something?
...
Hiss! Gulp, gulp...
At noon, the seafood handmade noodles Nico Robin had personally prepared on the dining table were devoured by Martin in a few bites, along with the large shrimp and abalone, which were chewed up and swallowed. In just one minute, he had finished the entire bowl of noodles, including the soup.
He casually stacked the empty bowl to the side, seeing that there were already over 10 empty bowls on the table. Before Martin could speak, a new bowl of noodles was brought before him by Nico Robin's slender, jade-like hands.
"My dear, you've already eaten 12 bowls of noodles!" Nico Robin reminded him with a smile and a blush on her face.
"12 bowls? That's one more than yesterday, huh."
Martin nodded somewhat indistinctly: "Wife, your cooking is amazing!"
To have a good honeymoon experience, Martin took a honeymoon vacation. He had originally planned to go out to sea and have fun, but the East Blue had not been very peaceful recently, with signs of sea monster activity.
So he simply didn't go anywhere, staying at home with Rona, not stepping out, enjoying their two-person world during the honeymoon, rolling in bed, and whispering sweet nothings.
At most, he would go with Rona to the nearby Green Mountain to enjoy the scenery and take a walk.
It could be said that throughout the honeymoon, Martin, apart from eating, sleeping, and showing affection, spent the rest of his time on forging.
Such a balance of work and rest was truly refreshing, allowing him to experience the comfort and sweetness of a married man.
At this moment, Martin felt the happiness of being a man.
The benefits were also obvious.
As Nico Robin's affection continuously increased, his forging experience grew daily. Besides that, there was a continuous stream of Devil Fruit Power.
Although the evaluation was mostly normal, he could feel his skills constantly improving, and he was getting more and more excellent reviews from Nico Robin. With four or five acts of affection a day, he could on average get one excellent evaluation per day.
Calculating this way, he had already accumulated 32 points of Devil Fruit Power, still two-thirds short of the 100 points required for Shikai.
There were also drawbacks, which was the daily labor, lasting for almost a month, after all, he was already forty.
If it weren't for the physical enhancement, he probably would have had kidney failure in about ten days.
Perhaps to compensate for his stamina, Martin also became extremely fond of eating, with his appetite increasing several times over.
Just as he was about to prepare another bowl, Nico Robin, wearing only an apron, pouted: "My dear, there's no more rice or flour at home, not even meat, and only a few dried seafood items left."
Martin let out a long breath. He had been eating too much lately, and running out of household supplies was to be expected.
Now that the honeymoon vacation was about to end, it was time to buy some food and sell the blades he had forged.
As he thought about it, the red book reappeared before his eyes and opened to his wife Nico Robin's page.
[Wife: Nico Robin]
[Ability: Flower-Flower Fruit ability user]
[Affection: Love 95.6%, additional blessing +2]
[Blessing: Physique +9, Spirit +11, Perception +8, all attributes additional +2]
[Output: Forging Experience, Devil Fruit Power]
"Nico Robin's affection is getting higher and higher, and she's become much more beautiful, like a different person."
Martin stretched, observing his radiant little wife.
Honestly, physical intimacy was indeed captivating. Nico Robin became increasingly radiant and alluring, much more beautiful and enticing than before, and her eyes became even more captivating.
Uh...
This must be from his nourishment.
Putting on casual clothes and slippers, kissing his little wife goodbye, and taking Senbonzakura and his tools, Martin left the house, planning to first buy some groceries and supplies, and then forge two swords in his spare time while selling his wares.
