Looking at the retreating figures of the two, Crocodile got a location.
Water 7, Iceburg, President of Galley-La Company, Mayor of Water 7.
"Ah hahahahaha!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Crocodile let out a crazy laugh.
If he obtained Pluton, one of the three ancient weapons, who in this sea would be his opponent?
...
Ye Fan, this time, did not choose to use the Flying Thunder God Technique but instead directly flew back with Robin in his arms.
How could he miss such a good opportunity? Not taking advantage of a good deal was foolish.
It had to be said, she was really light, without much weight.
All these years of hiding had led to poor development; she only gained weight after two years of good nutrition.
"Thank you, Captain."
Returning to his ship very quickly, Robin expressed her gratitude.
"Who is this?"
Nami and Nojiko, hearing the commotion, came out and saw Ye Fan had brought back a new member, asking out of curiosity.
They were all scrutinizing each other.
Ye Fan stepped forward to introduce them: "This is Nico Robin, an archaeologist. From now on, she will be a member of our Emperor Pirates. We are all family."
"This beautiful girl with orange hair is Nami, our Navigator, and this is Nojiko, the ship's cook."
Robin was surprised by Nojiko's beauty. Her temperament was similar to Ye Fan's. Could she also be an Ostrovsky?
"Hello, Navigator and Cook!"
From her words, Ye Fan knew she still had a strong sense of caution.
It was all due to her childhood experiences; her heart hadn't fully opened up. It would get better with time.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Although they didn't know why Ye Fan had brought her back, since she had greeted them first, they couldn't be impolite.
"Perfect, I just finished cooking. Let's all eat together!"
Nojiko invited Robin to eat with them.
She knew what kind of person Ye Fan actually was.
In the evening, he would change things up, never repeating himself. He was truly a...
Given her slender figure, if Ye Fan brought her back without any intentions, Nojiko wouldn't believe it for a second.
If he could accept her so readily, could he also accept her?
Nojiko harbored such a thought.
You can never guess a woman's thoughts; that's why many girls like their partners to understand them.
"Thank you!"
Having been on the run since childhood, Robin was able to read people's expressions.
This beautiful cook welcomed her, while the navigator was indifferent, but with a hint of not being entirely welcome.
"We're all family, so no need for thanks. Nojiko cooks wonderfully, and there's a very delicious fish, Robin, you should try it."
She was still too sensitive, Ye Fan could understand.
He had snatched away Straw Hat Luffy's historian, so what could he do?
Ye Fan didn't consider these problems; he would deal with them however they came.
The Emperor was quite large.
The dining room wasn't small, just not exquisitely decorated. When they reached Water 7, they could give it a good renovation.
Isn't living all about enjoyment?
There were many rooms, but at night, it wasn't as easy.
Robin's vigilance, developed over years of evading pursuit, was extremely high.
This made Ye Fan quite frustrated. He would have to wait until CP9 appeared to capture her heart.
To stand against the government, what woman could withstand such a test?
They would be moved to tears.
Sometimes, some of Luffy's actions, Ye Fan found quite useful.
Punching Charlos Saint, and then making Shalulia Palace his slave, he didn't believe Empress Boa Hancock could withstand such a test.
Luffy: "Good, good, good..."
Night fell.
The sea at night shimmered, and the gentle breeze caressed the sails, producing soft sounds.
Scattered starlight sprinkled upon the sea, illuminating the ship's course, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.
Nico Robin stood at the bow, her black hair dancing in the gentle breeze, like a soft and elegant black curtain.
Every strand of hair swayed with the wind, exuding a mysterious charm that complemented the night.
"Can't sleep?"
Ye Fan had originally intended to go find Nojiko, but after coming out, he saw Nico Robin at the bow.
The night made vampires even stronger, their vision better; they were inherently darlings of the night.
She turned to look at Ye Fan, her black hair flowing elegantly in the breeze, every strand dancing in the air, like black banners fluttering in the night sky.
His noble and handsome face, with firm and deep eyes, wore a smile.
"Captain."
"Actually, when I can't sleep at night, I lie there and count the stars in the sky. There's a saying in my hometown."
"After loved ones pass away, they turn into stars and continue to watch over you."
Looking up at the sky, the night sky was filled with stars, like a magnificent canvas of the cosmos.
Twinkling stars, shining with faint light, illuminated the entire night sky, presenting a beautiful scene that inspired endless imagination.
Robin also looked at the myriad stars. This number truly was as many as the people who perished on Ohara Island.
Are they protecting me?
She involuntarily reached out her hand, wanting to touch the twinkling stars in the sky.
"The sea is vast, and you will eventually meet companions who are willing to protect you."
Robin never forgot the words Jaguar D. Saul told her.
However, over the years, she had been betrayed by countless 'companions,' making it truly difficult for her to open her heart again.
Ye Fan, observing Robin's actions, knew that deep down, she truly missed her happy life in Ohara when she was little.
"Thank you, Captain."
After an unknown amount of time, Robin saw Ye Fan still accompanying her.
After saying that, she turned and left, returning to her room, leaving Ye Fan alone to gaze at the boundless night.
Indeed, trying to win her over couldn't be rushed; it had to be one step at a time.
He, too, should begin his true nightlife.
He had already noticed that in Nojiko's room, she was getting impatient, pacing back and forth.
Outside the room, at some unknown point, dark clouds completely obscured the remaining Moonlight.
