Under the Light of the Pirate

Chapter 4 No matter what you face, you must face it with a smile

Robin, who was sitting by the window, looked at the magnificent sea, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Thinking about Murphys back then, he was really an idiot.
-
The year 1502 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Under the order of the world government, the navy launched a demon-slaying order against O'Hara in the West Sea.The only survivor on O'Hara Island was Nicole Robin, who was released by Vice Admiral Aokiji Kuzan.

When Nicole Robin escaped from O'Hara Island, she didn't know where she should go, so she could only drift along the sea.

Fortunately, Nicole Robin met Murphys on the first island he landed after escaping from O'Hara.
-
"I'm really lucky to have met you."

Looking at the sea, Robin, whose eyes were a little blurred, murmured subconsciously.
-
"Hey, who are you?"

"Why are you hiding in my house?"

In a "wooden house" far away from the town, eight-year-old Murphys looked at eight-year-old Nicole Robin and asked curiously.

"what?"

"This, is this your home?"

"I am so sorry!"

"I'm leaving right away."

Facing the question of eight-year-old Murphys, eight-year-old Nicole Robin was flustered.

Although the "wooden house" is simply surrounded by a few boards, the eight-year-old Robin is still terrified when he thinks that he has broken into someone else's house without the permission of the owner of the "wooden house".

At this time, Robin just wanted to hide, to a place where no one could find her.

"Wait."

Murphys stopped Robin who was about to run away.

"Here, eat this first before leaving."

"It looks like you came to this island after escaping from the pirates, right?"

While talking, Murphys took out a big apple from nowhere and handed it to Robin.

Looking at the brightly colored apple in front of her, Robin swallowed, she really wanted to refuse.

However, she was really hungry.

Click.

"Delicious, really fragrant."

Looking at Robin who was gnawing on the apple, Murphys smirked.

"Hey, that's an apple that I took a lot of effort to get from the tree. It must be delicious."

"I'm usually not very willing to eat, after all, the tree is too tall."

"If it weren't for seeing you as a girl, I wouldn't even give it to you."

"Wait... are you a girl?"

"Looking at your hair and hearing your voice, I think you should be a girl."

"Yeah, sure, if you're not a girl, I'll beat you up!"

The eight-year-old little Robin was really hungry, and completely ignored the nagging little Murphys, gnawing on the big apple in his hand with a focused expression.

After Morpheus talked there for a long time, he found that Robin was just gnawing on the apple, and ignored him, not embarrassed at all.

After Robin finished eating an apple, Murphys handed over another one.

"Here, seeing how hungry you are, I'll give you another one."

"When you finish eating, you must tell me if you are a girl."

"If it is, it's fine."

"If not, you should have some strength after eating two apples. If we have a fight, this matter will be over."

Robin took the second apple and held it in his hand and continued to gnaw on it, while Murphys also continued to stand aside and babbled.

Finally, after eating two apples, Robin felt less hungry.

"Thanks for the hospitality! Thank you very much!"

Robin bowed to Murphys and planned to leave.Since there are people here, she should leave.Otherwise, if someone chases here, it will bring danger to this kind-hearted boy who is naughty and talkative.

Seeing that Robin was leaving, eight-year-old Murphys quit.

You're going to leave after eating my apple?
Why do you have to talk to me before you go?

"Hey, are you being rude?"

"How can you come to the host's house as a guest and leave after eating?"

"Why don't you report your name, and then talk to the master before leaving?"

Seeing that Robin was leaving, Murphys quit, and his tone of voice became "angry".Of course, rather than "anger", it would be more appropriate to say helplessness.

"Why don't you talk to me, I...I..."

After hesitating for a while, little Murphys gritted his teeth cruelly, turned around and lifted the "bed board".

There is a small hole under the "bed board", and there is something wrapped in a large leaf in the hole.

Murphys opened the "package" and handed the contents to Robin.

"Here, this is for you, you won't be hungry after eating."

"But you have to talk to me before leaving."

"If it's not enough, I'll add two more apples."

Eight-year-old Nicole Robin swallowed her saliva as she watched the half-cooled baked rabbit and two big red apples handed over by the little boy in front of her.

Although the roasted rabbit has been completely cooled, it looks delicious and I really want to eat it.

Gudong!

Robin felt that he should go. It would be bad if he brought danger to this very gentle boy who was naughty and naughty.

but--

Seeing the pleading look in the boy's eyes, only eight-year-old Nicole Robin hesitated.

Yes!

Robin was moved by the prayer and sincerity in Murphys' eyes, so she took half a roasted rabbit and two big red apples from Murphys' hands, not because she was too hungry.

Absolutely not! ! !

Seeing Robin take the food he handed over, Murphys was very happy and smirked again.

"Let me tell you, although the roasted rabbit is cold, it's still delicious."

"After all, that's my baked rabbit."

"..."

Listening to Murphys standing there and babbling endlessly, Robin suddenly felt very happy.

But not long after she was happy, Robin's tears came down.

"..."

"Hey, hey, don't cry."

"Is it because my baked rabbit is too unpalatable?"

"Why don't you stop eating the baked rabbit and eat the apple first."

"Then you wait here for me for a while, and I'll see if I can catch another rabbit and bake it for you."

"Don't cry, okay?"

Originally, Murphys was happy talking by himself, but when he suddenly saw the little girl in front of him crying, he was in a hurry and didn't know what to say.

Is it because the roast rabbit you made yourself was too unpalatable, and then you cried?

"No, the roasted rabbit is delicious."

"It's my problem. I suddenly thought of my mother."

"terribly sorry."

Eight-year-old Nicole Robin looked at the bewildered boy in front of her, feeling very embarrassed.

"Ah...it's okay."

"Did your mother be killed by pirates?"

Regarding Murphys' question, the eight-year-old little Robin was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"very pitiful."

Although Murphy's voice was very small, Robin still heard it, but Robin didn't say anything.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet?"

"Hathaway."

"Huh?" Murphys said he didn't hear clearly.

"Hathaway." Robin's voice was louder this time.But Robin didn't dare to tell her real name, she was afraid... So, Robin could only silently say "I'm sorry" to the little boy in front of him.

"Hathaway? It's a nice name." Murphys nodded to Robin, pretending to be very mature, and gave a very irregular gentleman's salute to Robin. "Hello, Ms. Hathaway, my name is Murphys, Helet Murphys."

"Just call me Murphy."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Murphys and Robin suddenly fell into an embarrassment of confusion.

Robin quietly ate the cool roasted rabbit meat, not knowing what to say.

Murphys watched Robin nibble on the roasted rabbit meat, not knowing what to say.

Finally, it was Murphys who broke the silence first.

"Then do you have any relatives to go to?"

Hearing what Murphys said, Robin stopped eating, fell silent for a while, shook his head, and his voice was low.

"Nothing."

After hearing Robin's answer, although Murphys sympathized with Robin's experience, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Or you can stay."

People are most afraid of being alone.

"stay?"

Robin admitted that for a moment, she was moved.but……

"No! I cannot stay."

"If I stay, the sea... the pirates will come after me."

Although there was such a momentary heartbeat, Robin quickly denied her own thoughts. She didn't want to bring trouble to the handsome and gentle boy in front of her who was talkative and aggressive.

After all, it wasn't some pirate who chased her down.It is the navy and world government that are thousands or tens of thousands of times more terrifying than pirates.

But Murphys didn't know what Robin was thinking.

Murphys saw Robin's desire to stay.then……

"Hey, Hathaway, let me tell you a secret~"

"What?" Robin was at a loss, wondering why Murphys suddenly wanted to tell himself a secret.

"Hehe~"

"Hathaway, have you heard of the secret treasure of the sea, the devil fruit?"

"?"

As a superhuman devil fruit, the ability user of Huahua fruit, Robin certainly knows what a devil fruit is.But she didn't understand why Murphys suddenly brought up the devil fruit.

"I'm a Devil Fruit user. Although I can't swim, I will become very powerful in the future."

"When I become stronger, I will go and avenge you."

"So, you stay here, okay?"

After hearing what Murphys said, Robin didn't know what to say for a while.
