"As the last survivor of O'Hara, the 'son of the devil' in the words of the World Government, I am regarded as a thorn in the Navy's side..."
"What is your purpose?"
"I need to make a final decision based on your answer..."
"Even now I need to seek a reliable asylum again, but if you try to get the whereabouts of ancient weapons from me, perhaps Crocodile's fate will happen again, but by then your role will be completely different... . ”
The more we understand darkness, the more we yearn for light.
The long-term pain and the tragedy of the Demon-Slaying Order did not defeat this strong woman.
There are many people in this world who want to change the status quo, such as Dragon who single-handedly established the revolutionary army, Roger who sacrificed his own life in exchange for the opening of a new era, Bear who did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, Shanks who has his own plans, Garp and others who stick to their beliefs and don't want to be dogs for the Celestial Dragons...
Perhaps we should also add a historian who is trying to uncover the missing century-old history and return the truth to people all over the world, O'Hara's last survivor-Nicole Robin!
What fills Robin is not hatred, but the belief and wish of all the innocent people who died under the demon-slaying order!
This is also the biggest difference between her and others in terms of consciousness!
A truly admirable woman!
It is precisely because Luo Qing understands her better than Robin imagined that he understands the meaning of what Robin asked at this time!
If he came for the ancient weapons, then perhaps Robin would follow him out to sea, succumbing to his force or temporary protection.
But as Robin said, there is no difference between him and Crocodile. Sooner or later, the day will come when the two of them will part ways or even turn against each other!
Just like in the original work, it wasn't until Luffy and the others stood on the Judiciary Island, in front of the desperate Robin, and shouted out the sentence: "Say you want to live!" that Robin shed tears. With tears in my eyes, I really let go of my guard and shouted "I want to live!" in response!
This kind of bond, this kind of trust, this kind of belief and strength that you can sacrifice everything for your partners has nothing to do with the strong or the weak!
So although Luo Qing has the confidence that one day he will be able to stand at the top of the world and overlook everything, he still needs such a companion to share his joy or sorrow!
Otherwise, what if we get everything
In the end, he still ended up alone, and Luo Qing didn't want it!
This is the real reason why he invites one companion after another to go to sea together!
Even though it is difficult to gain Robin's recognition and trust, he is still willing to give it a try. Time will tell in the end.
"If we talk about the purpose, I really need you to help me translate the historical text, but the only thing that interests me is the four red road signs that record the 'Final Island' historical text..."
“And you’ve got half of it on one of those four red road signs of historical text.”
"Come to sea with me..."
"When I stand on top of this world, everything will change!"
"... Just need some reliable companions to share this with, that's all."
Perhaps feeling the sincerity in Luo Qing's words, Robin looked at him deeply and then fell into deep thought.
During the time Robin was thinking about it, even Nami and the others seemed to have gotten to know him again. They heard him say his true thoughts for the first time, and felt for this man for the first time. Inner... loneliness.
It turned out that unconsciously, the bond between them had gradually deepened.
Maybe everyone has a past that is unknown or even unwilling to be mentioned, but as the understanding gradually deepens, and with the comfort of companions, sooner or later one can tease each other, ridicule oneself, and laugh together as a funny thing after drinking. , take a closer look, there are tears in the smile...
But at that time, the tears of sadness turned into joyful calmness.
Maybe it's still too early for the bond between people like Luo Qing to reach that level, but it's an indisputable fact that everyone is slowly changing.
Everything is so desirable!
so...
"Please take good care of me in the future... Captain!"
Robin raised her head with a smile. At least at this moment, she was willing to give one point out of ten to choose to believe it once.
Even if you don't agree with your ideals or feel deceived in the future, there is still room for change. After all, betrayal... this is not the first time!
Robin thought bitterly and self-deprecatingly...
So it’s so heart-wrenching to laugh!
This scene was also noticed by Luo Qing, but he didn't say anything, just smiled happily.
Because now he is not qualified to comfort Robin, nor is he qualified to dictate her life.
And he still prefers to prove it with practical actions than boring promises.
Since Robin's defenses can be opened, why can't that person be him
Their story has just begun, right
Robin's story has already been told by Luo Qing, so Nami and others are very happy for Robin's joining.
After all, I have been able to live alone in such a terrible world for many years. On the one hand, I need to carefully avoid the pursuit of the navy, and on the other hand, I have to deal with all kinds of people with bad intentions. At the same time, I have to inquire about the historical text. In terms of interpersonal communication, It’s impossible without a second!
Moreover, Robin's unique temperament belonging to a mature woman also gives her a lot of points.
So within a few minutes, Robin successfully got along with Nami and others, filling the road with laughter.
Even fake lolita like Xiao Xueqiu, who looks like a lolita but actually has the soul of a tough old woman inside, is impressed by Robin's temperament and how well-behaved she is!
As for Kebi, this bastard, he has long forgotten the existence of his teacher. He is walking around Robin who has a 'mom smile', and his nose is so beautiful... It's really so beautiful!
Mudd! Isolated!
Luo Qing walked alone at the front, feeling particularly disappointed.
I don’t know what topic they are talking about, but I am embarrassed to join in with a shy face, so I can only quietly prick up my ears...
After a while, Luo Qing became petty, and a Devil Fruit on the Infinity Gauntlet quietly lit up...
(Eh? Why can’t I hear you all of a sudden?) by: Nami
(What are you talking about? Are you playing pantomime?) by: Little Snowball
(Woooo~Sister Robin, I’m deaf, what should I do!) by: Kebi
(...) by: Robin
Then Robin walked up quickly and poked Luo Qing twice who was grinning evilly.
(It’s your fault!)
"..." Luo Qing's smile froze on his face.
