Pirates: Kaido's brother Kaisa in the opening ghost island

A few days later, Shuangyue Village.

After experiencing brutal killings, Luffy no longer felt comfortable placing Nami, Chopper, Nokigao and others in Cocoa West Village.

So, he and Sauron took the remaining villagers and drove the pirate ship floating on the sea to Shuangyue Village.

After handing over the villagers to Koushiro for resettlement, Luffy stayed at Zoro's cabin.

"Luffy, would you like to eat something?"

At the door, Robin appeared with a food box.

She looked at the haggard and expressionless Luffy in the wooden house, and felt extremely distressed in her heart.

For several days, Luffy hadn't had a drop of water or even a grain of rice.

He had been sitting so sluggishly.

Robin saw that Luffy was the only one in the room, but he didn't see Zoro.

Thinking of all the strange behaviors Sauron showed after he brought them back to Frosty Moon Village, Robin felt a chill welling up from deep in his heart.

She knew that Zoro was still the same Zoro as before.

He is still a man who is not good at words, but is always the first to rush out when something happens!

But Zoro always talks to himself in the air around him at night.

Or a person is sitting on the beach blowing the wind, turning his head from time to time to talk and laugh in the air beside him, as if there is someone sitting there whom Robin cannot see.

"Friends, everything has changed since Wano Country."

This was Robin's idea.

She walked to the wooden bed, put down the food box, sat next to Luffy, and took him into her arms.

Robin patted Luffy's back gently, and suddenly remembered the memory that he could barely remember when he was very young.

She follows her mother, Olvia, as she struggles to survive in the dark forest.

At that time, just like Luffy at this time, my heart was filled with emptiness, despair, pain and numbness.

"Luffy, stay strong... No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."

Robin whispered softly, patting Luffy's back and saying some comforting words.

As she was talking, she suddenly hummed a ballad softly.

It was a lullaby that my mother used to sing when I was little.

"Little butterfly, little butterfly."

"Fly lightly, fly lightly."

"Flying over green meadows,"

"Flying through the flowers."

"The breeze ruffles the fine leaves,"

"Butterflies lying on flower buds."

"Good baby, go to sleep quickly."

"Good baby, go to sleep quickly..."

Robin's singing voice is ethereal and ethereal, containing her sincere feelings for Luffy.

Amid her pats and songs, Luffy gradually relaxed and fell asleep in her arms.

Looking at the haggard-looking young man in his arms, the love in Robin's heart expanded infinitely.

In fact, Robin sometimes doesn't know if he really loves Luffy?

It’s impossible to say I don’t love you.

When she first boarded Luffy's ship, she simply wanted a new place to live.

She has been a wanderer since she was a child and has experienced countless darkness.

When Robin saw the innocence and kindness of Luffy's group in Alabasta, he boarded Luffy's ship uninvited with a little trepidation.

The following journey made Robin truly fall in love with this pirate group.

Every companion on the ship is worth Robin's life.

Here, she found a friendship she had never found before.

When Luffy and others collided with CP9 and shouted to her from the rooftop: "Robin, say it louder, you want to live!" Robin's heart palpitated like never before.

In the final journey, she followed Luffy through ups and downs, battles and adventures.

This simple boy longs for unfettered freedom.

Although the idea is naive, the partners all support it unreservedly.

Only Robin, who has experienced darkness, can't help but worry about Luffy's character in the dead of night.

She was afraid that one day, Luffy's reckless and domineering personality would bring about an unbearable disaster for him.

That day, in the country of Wano, what Robin was worried about finally broke out.

Barbarossa Caesar, an unprecedented enemy.

surpassing any previous opponents.

It was a terrifying creature that would lose its will to fight just by looking at it from a distance.

If Luffy still wants to become the unfettered Pirate King, this terrifying creature will be the most difficult hurdle for him to overcome on his way to becoming the king!

She really wanted to persuade Luffy to give up and give up fighting Kesar.

But Robin knew deep down that Luffy would never give up on avenging his companions.

If he really gave up, Luffy would live in pain for the rest of his life.

"No matter what the future holds, no matter whether it is light or darkness, heaven or hell, Luffy, I will accompany you."

Outside the wooden house, Nami was in a daze as she listened to the singing coming from the house.

......

Two days later, on a certain sea surface in the East China Sea, a small boat sailed through the wind and waves.

There were only two people on the deck, Luffy and Zoro.

"Luffy, have you cheered up?" Zoro was wearing a black robe, the sleeves of his left arm were blowing in the wind, and he was holding a wine bottle in his right hand.

"what!"

Luffy stood side by side with him, looking at the vast sea in front of him. The salty sea breeze blew in his face, blowing his hair in the wind.

"Pitying yourself won't solve any problems. I will use my own way to atone for the sins I caused. Starting from the East China Sea!"

Zoro took a sip of wine and smiled: "We are pirates, do we have to go to the sea to seek justice? Think about it carefully, along the way, we have been saving the weak everywhere, hahaha , if we had joined the navy, we might all have become admirals now."

Luffy also smiled and extended his hand towards Zoro.

Zoro was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and handed over the wine bottle in his hand.

Luffy took the bottle and drank a few sips of the wine.

Throwing the bottle back, Luffy wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile:

"That's right! Fighting Bucky saved Orange Town, fighting Aaron saved Cocoa West Village, fighting Cloro saved Xiluobu Village, fighting Creek saved Barati, and fighting Sand Crocodile saved Alabasta. , The purpose of fighting Enero is to save Bika and Sky Island, fighting Moria is actually to protect oneself, fighting Ming Ge is to save Dressrosa, and fighting Kaido is to save the country of Wan.

Alas, I obviously wanted to take risks, but in the end, I was saving this and that along the way. This is really what a righteous navy would do.

My grandfather has wanted me to join the navy since he was a child. If it is as you said, he will probably be extremely happy until his death, right? "

"So you don't want to be the Pirate King now and want to seek justice?" Zoro drank the wine in the bottle and threw the bottle into the sea.

Luffy shook his head:

"Being the Pirate King is my dream, and this will not change. But before that, I want to live with a clear conscience. Just like the things we have done along the way. What I pursue is not lawless freedom, It is unfettered freedom.

I made a mistake by releasing so many prisoners in order to save Ace.

There are also those pirates who went to sea because they worshiped me and caused turmoil on the sea. I will deal with them one by one!

Only in this way will I have the courage to say those words again! "

"And that time is when I set foot in the new world again and face Caesar!"
