Robin is a very intellectual woman, even when she smiles. This woman has a strong bookish atmosphere, and her smile can easily arouse people's favor. Teana Ww
The same is true for Ian. After he sat down, he looked at this big sister who was full of temperament, and couldn't help but scrutinize him for a while.
Robin is still wearing her cowboy hat, under the brim, is a black and beautiful shoulder-length hair, she has a pair of deep black eyes and exquisite facial features, perhaps because of the constant escape, betrayal, and upheaval years ago Living a wandering life, Nicole Robin looks quite mature, she knows how to get along with others, when Ian looked at her, she was not restrained, but smiled calmly and looked at her in the same way. ian.
What Ian didn't know was that while he was looking at Robin, Robin was also looking at him.
If you want to describe the state of the two of them at the moment, then perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "a long-time friendship".
Ian knew of Robin's existence, her past, and where she was, but before that, Ian had never seen Robin, and Robin was the same, she had never seen Ian before, but I have been following Ian in newspapers and news.
Because the process of Ian becoming the Qibuhai is very different from other members of the Qiwuhai, such as Crocodile and Doflamingo, they are purely because they did a lot of evil when they were pirates, and they were finally killed. The world government recruited him, but Ian has always been against the world government. The world government had nothing to do with him, so he became Qibuhai's.
The World Government, Demon Slaying Order, Admiral, these words are all nightmares that filled Robin's childhood. The destruction of O'Hara was the darkest scene in her heart, but she never thought about the power of the World Government. I feel fear in my heart.
However, this man, Ian, directly set fire to the manor of the Tianlong people in Mary Joya, where the world government is located, and rescued those slaves. This can be said to be directly on the opposite side of the world government. , absolutely cannot escape the pursuit of the world government, but Ian survived, and even forced the world government to admit his identity as Shichibukai.
People are like this, when they are unable to face the things they fear, they will secretly worship another person who can resist their fears as a role model...
Yes, what Ian doesn't know is that Robin actually admires Ian in her heart, which is why she has been paying attention to Ian.
After the two looked at each other silently for a while, Ian suddenly smiled and asked Robin, "You were the one who spoke in the crowd before! Your voice is very distinctive, and I recognized it right away. "
Robin smiled and said, "I hope you don't mind if I reveal your identity."
Ian shook his head. In fact, after he entered Albana, he never thought about hiding his identity. It would be better to be recognized. In this way, Crocodile can find himself.
It's just... Ian stroked his chin, looked at Robin and said, "Why are you here? Where's Crocodile?"
While the two were talking, the waiter in the tavern had already poured the wine and left quietly. This tavern is actually under the name of the Baroque studio. After getting the order from Crocodile, Robin chose this place. He planned to meet and talk with Ian, which was why there were no other guests in the tavern, so even if Ian directly said Crocodile's name, no one else would hear it.
The corner of Robin's mouth curled up, and he took a sip from the wine glass in front of him, and said, "You really know the real identity of the boss, I'm curious, does Qiwuhai have first-class intelligence capabilities? "
"Ha!" Ian smiled, knowing that Robin had misunderstood, so he said: "Don't worry about how I know, these are small problems."
"Indeed!" Robin nodded, and said, "The boss has some doubts about your intentions, so let me come and get in touch with you first."
Hearing Robin's answer, Ian couldn't help curling his lips. Crocodile is really cautious, but then again, this kind of cautiousness is normal. No one is a fool if he can become a member of Qiwuhai Woolen cloth.
But it's a pity, that guy Crocodile would never have thought that his real purpose in coming to Alabasta was not to find him, but to find Robin. He was cautious and let Robin come to contact him first, which would be better. It saved Ian a lot of time.
Therefore, Ian didn't say anything, and said directly: "Actually, I am not looking for Crocodile this time, but for you!"
Robin blinked and asked curiously, "Looking for me?"
"Yeah!" Ian nodded, and suddenly said: "missa11sunday, this shouldn't be your name, it's just a code name, right? Can you tell me your real name?"
Robin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Is my name that important?"
"Of course!" Ian said with a smile, "Because what I'm looking for is not missa11sunday, but a woman named Nicole Robin!"
Robin looked puzzled and said: "Nicole Robin? Who are you talking about? I don't know him, Mr. Ian, you must have made a mistake, right?"
Although Robin concealed it well, when Ian said her name, she still caught a trace of panic in her eyes.
Ian can understand her reluctance to admit her real name. If I remember correctly, in fact, Robin's arrest warrant is still the picture of her when she was a child. After she escaped from O'Hara, all these years She has been hiding in hiding all the time, and as she grows up, her appearance is somewhat different from the photos when she was a child at that time, so as for her real name, she conceals it as much as she can.
Ever since she followed Crocodile, she has been using the code name missa11sunday, and has been lurking in the Baroque studio. She didn't expect to be called by Ian's name, of course she was a little flustered.
"Don't get me wrong!" Ian smiled and said, "I won't do anything to you. You know, Crocodile knows your true identity. I have no reason not to know, right?"
Robin also understood that what Ian said was reasonable, but the smile on her face was still gone. She gently pressed the brim of her hat to cover her bangs, and said, "Okay, I'm Nicole Luo Bin, why are you looking for me?"
Seeing her action, Ian felt a little helpless. Ian knew very well that Robin's action was actually a manifestation of her inner defense against herself, so she did it subconsciously.
Over the years, Robin has been used to seeing the ugliness of people's hearts, so he is also very defensive towards others.
Ian knew that calling her by her real name would arouse her guard, but there was no way, as he said before, what he was looking for was Nicole Robin, not anyone else, if Robin didn't admit his Identity, it will be difficult to communicate later.
You know, Ian asked Robin to translate the main text of history...
Ian rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches, and felt that he had to let Robin let go of his defenses, so after thinking about it, Ian thought about his words and said, "Robin, is it okay for me to call you that?"
"Whatever you want, you are Shichibukai-sama, I can't change how you call me!" Robin said lightly.
Hearing Robin's faint tone, Ian breathed a sigh of relief, and said to her seriously: "I said, although I know your past and who you are, I never thought of harming you or It doesn’t matter if you believe in using you or not, but if you continue like this, we won’t be able to communicate.”
Robin looked at Ian with a slight surprise in her eyes. Ian said this with a very serious expression, which indeed had some effect. She finally nodded and said: "Okay..."
Ian looked at her, and after confirming that she was really willing to listen to him, he said again: "I know you are a survivor of O'Hara back then, and you were hunted down by the world government because you could read ancient characters. I deeply sympathize with O'Hara's experience, but neither you nor I can do anything about the past, what you have to do is to continue to live a good life!"
Robin raised her head and looked at Ian in some surprise. She never expected that after so many years, she would hear someone tell her again, asking her to live a good life!
After listening to Ian's words, Robin finally realized that Ian, the Shichibukai, seemed to have many differences from Crocodile.
Sincerity is an emotion that can infect others. This is how Ian pulled Fujitora onto the boat at the beginning. This is what makes him different from many pirates. Now, Robin also feels his difference. Same.
Smiling, Ian said to Robin: "You are a historian, I know that very well, but how much do you really know about the text of history?"
This sentence completely stunned Robin.
"You also know the main text of history?" Robin whispered in surprise.
Ian spread his hands, shrugged and said, "You know a lot more than you imagined. In fact, when you enter the new world, you will understand that the text of history is not a secret."
"Yes... Really!" Robin stared blankly at Ian.
Ian said: "There are a total of 30 pieces of historical texts, four of which are red road sign historical texts. If you guessed correctly, what O'Hara got back then was a stone tablet that truly recorded history..."
He told Robin Barabara what he had learned about the historical text stele. Obviously, this was the first time Robin had heard this knowledge, so she stared at Ian intently. , but desperately remembering what Ian said in his ears.
Although Robin has been in a life of ups and downs, she still wants to continue to pursue the historical text in her heart, because this is what her mother pursued back then, and Robin also wants to fulfill this dream.
However, she is alone and does not have much self-protection ability, so she can only rely on the name of a strong man like Crocodile, and rely on the power of Crocodile to realize her dream.
Therefore, even if she can understand ancient characters, she has never seen the real historical text, and even what Ian said is something she has never heard of before...
