Pirates: I was born to be a king

"I'm OK!"

"Dragon tendons should be a good ingredient. I want to try it!"

"I can't wait to slay the dragon!"

"Dragon? Humph! He is just a loach covered with fur and scales. How can he compare to me, Suzaku!"

……

Everyone was talking at once with an air of shamelessness, as if Kaido was a dish that could be chopped up and served on the table in a minute.

Noah lowered his eyes and looked at the women in silence, but he knew that they did not underestimate Kaido.

It’s just “despise the opponent strategically and take the opponent seriously tactically”.

It can also be said that it is to cheer themselves up. After all, it has not been long since they first saw Kaido's powerful domineering aura, and the impact of that domineering aura still makes them frightened.

There is also a cautious one among them, and that is the new member Robin.

Robin looked at the girls chattering and clamoring to pull out Kaido's tendons and bones, and fry, stir-fry, stew, steam, deep-fry, and boil him. Anyway, they had already started thinking about the variety of dishes.

This scene made Robin wonder if she had boarded the wrong ship, but when she turned her head and saw Noah's expression, she felt slightly relieved.

Although Noah's expression was a little speechless at this time, the smile on his face did not change.

Different from the dignified and elegant smile on Robin's face as he grew up, Noah's smile was more calm, even more domineering, as if everything in front of him was nothing.

Although Robin's smile had been through baptism and seemed calm, that was just because he was prepared, ready to die at any time.

Ten years of struggle had left her physically and mentally exhausted, and the only thing that reminded her of this hell was the history of the doctor and her mother, for whom she had given their lives.

She wants to preserve this history for everyone!

In addition, death was more of a relief for Robin, because this road was too dark and too long, and she couldn't see where the end was at a glance.

"Why do you always smile?"

Robin couldn't help but ask.

Since she met Noah, she rarely saw him angry, and he always had a smile on his face.

This made her, who also kept smiling for years, curious.

Her smile was actually more of a fake one, mainly because her experience taught her that smiling could bring strangers closer together, but it was also a weak disguise that could make most people let down their guard against her.

And what about Noah? A man this powerful shouldn't need to disguise himself, so... is this smile real?

While Robin was lost in thought, Noah was stunned by Robin's question, then he murmured, "Smile?"

Noah lowered his eyes as if he had thought of something, "Actually, it's not like I like her. It's just that I once had a proud subordinate who loved to laugh, so I unconsciously fell in love with her."

“Plus, I really don’t have any powerful opponents. They are all just ordinary cultivators. Although being invincible is lonely, I am not someone who can’t stand loneliness. Hahahahaha!”

Robin looked at Noah who was laughing. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she found that there was a complex look between Noah's brows when he talked about his subordinates.

She opened her mouth to ask, but didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Noah stopped laughing and joked to Robin, "And according to our proud doctor Vanessa, people who smile often can extend their life by 4 years compared to those who don't like to smile. Don't you agree, Vanessa?"

Noah turned around and asked Vanessa with a smile.

Vanessa was slashing at Irene's little head with a knife, and said in a calm voice like a smiling demon: "You can't do it, little Irene, your injury is the most serious, and it's not healed yet. You need to rest for three days. Don't even think about it tomorrow!"

Irene became anxious when she heard this, because she had finally become a great swordsman before Sibel and the others (she didn't know that Elena had already become a great swordsman). It was like a person who got a new toy and always liked to show it off.

Irene was no exception, but now she was vetoed by Vanessa.

"Sister Vanessa, I, I can do it, look!"

As Irene was about to move her body to signal, Vanessa's attention had already been attracted by Noah.

After hearing Noah's argument, Vanessa was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right! But..."

Vanessa frowned and said as if recalling something: "I shouldn't have told anyone about this research finding. How did Lord Noah know about it?"

Vanessa looked at Noah curiously, and with hope in her eyes, she leaned forward and said, "Is there any other book that records this kind of research discovery? Where is it? Which doctor is it?"

Noah's forehead was slightly sweaty, his body leaned back slightly, and he stammered with a wry smile: "Ah, that..."

This is indeed Vanessa's research, or to be more precise, her previous life's research - Carter.

After all, apart from her, probably no one would do this research.

The reason is that it’s boring!

And Carter is such a boring person, or it should be said that he is a very patient person, or a very loving person.

She studied this not for any other reason but because...

"I chose this topic because although this research is boring, it is the easiest to promote and will bring benefits to everyone. Prolonging life is just the most insignificant research result in my opinion. The most important thing is that smiling can reduce the stress of life and find hope from despair. In addition, there are various benefits..."

Vanessa started talking about a lot of benefits such as "Smiling can stimulate the immune system", "Smiling can promote the secretion of serotonin", "Smiling is good for blood circulation", etc. Simply put, "Smiling is the cheapest medicine."

Even the poorest civilians will be able to turn things around as long as they can keep smiling.

Noah did not interrupt, but just looked at Vanessa's gentle and excited smile, but thought to himself:

You haven't changed at all, Carter, you're still as saintly as ever.

"I plan to release it to the ocean after this incident is over. So, Mr. Noah, is there anyone else doing this research besides me? I really want to read this doctor's thesis."

Vanessa's eyes flickered as she looked at Noah, hoping to know his name, and preferably the book he belonged to.

Robin pinched his chin and smiled reservedly: "I've heard of this research!"

"Really?!"

Vanessa immediately turned away from Noah and fixed her flickering eyes on Robin.

Robin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Really, the medical scientist's name is - Carter!"

"Well, unfortunately the doctor doesn't seem to have a last name, and the book was already very old when I found it."

Robin's dark green eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Smiling Sukunamika."

"The author is Carter!"

"It was written in the year 711 of the Haiyuan calendar, which is exactly the period of the blank hundred years."

That's right, apart from history books, the only things that could attract Robin's attention were the works from the blank hundred years.

She longed to get a glimpse of what had happened in the past hundred years from the works that had survived from those hundred years.

Otherwise, why would she, a historical archaeologist, bother reading this seemingly useless medical book?

"In addition to my friends, this book has had a great impact on me. Even if it does not contain any records about the blank 100 years of history, I am still glad that I can read this doctor's research."

Robin crossed his legs, took a sip of coffee and said seriously, "She is a very respectable woman."

"There is a sentence in the book: Maybe many people think my research is boring. After all, there are too many factors that affect health in this world. They think that my time should not be wasted on such useless topics, but I still think this research is the one I am most proud of among all my research, because its significance lies not only in medicine, but also in all aspects of life. Even the poor can still find hope from it, sinners can be redeemed from it, strangers can build friendships from it, and wars and hatred can be eliminated."

“Whether rich or poor, noble or humble, everyone can benefit from it both physically and mentally. This is the pride of a medical practitioner.”

Robin also found hope and the courage to survive the darkness, just like a blade of grass, looking forward to sunshine in the wind and rain.

All the women fell into silence. Even Lingling, who had been eating, stopped what she was doing. She began to admire this woman whom she had never met, just like the Virgin Mary of the past.

"Waaaaaah, please! Robin-chan! Please give me this book!"

Vanessa held Robin's hand tightly with anticipation in her eyes, without any trace of her usual calmness or the dark jokes she usually made towards Robin.

Robin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in embarrassment: "But Vanessa, you also know my previous situation. I can only take away my daily notes, and I can't take other books with me."

Vanessa's whole face suddenly turned gloomy. She suddenly remembered that when she first met Robin, Robin brought a package with her. There was nothing else in it except a few thick notebooks.

"Why is this..."

Vanessa slid to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Everyone's mouths twitched in silence, except for two people who quietly picked up their camera-phones and started snapping pictures.

It was Luo Lan and Li Ya.

"It's rare, it's rare, take some pictures quickly."

"Wow, next time I can use this photo to blackmail Sister Vanessa for some research materials."

"Huh? My film is gone!"

"I have it here, change it quickly, and remember to give me half."

"OK, OK, hehehe!"

……

The py transactions between them did not attract anyone's attention.

"But I have a good memory. If you don't mind, I can write it down for you!"

Robin said with a smile.

Her strong memory was the weapon that enabled her to become a scholar at the age of eight, so she would write down every book she read, in order to one day reproduce the glory of the Tree of All-Knowing. Although it was very slim, she still held on to this unrealistic dream.

No matter what Robin thought, Vanessa resurrected right away, held Robin's hand tightly again, and said sincerely:

"Please take care of me!"

"Ok!"
