One Piece: Under the Throne

Back to 4 days ago, Robin finally became a scholar after unremitting efforts. Dr. Cloba called all the scholars to hold a warm celebration ceremony. Robin was very happy to be recognized by others through his own efforts. So he proposed to Dr. Cloba that he wanted to join the work of historical text research.

"Doctor, I have become an archaeologist. Please allow me to join the research of historical texts."

"Ah? How did you know? Did that little bastard Leo tell you secretly?"

"No, Leo and everyone else think they can hide it from me, but I have already discovered the laboratory in the basement." Upon hearing this, Dr. Kloba thought to himself that he was careless and forgot that Robin was a person with special abilities.

Dr. Kroba's expression became extremely serious. He solemnly rejected Robin's request and told her to keep the secret, otherwise she would be forbidden to come to the All-Knowing Tree Library again. The reaction of the doctor and the scholars made Robin very frustrated. The little girl returned home disappointed and locked herself in the room until the fourth day.

After four days of self-venting, Robin was no longer so angry. She began to admire Leo again. She was bored to death after only staying in the small room for four days, but Leo could stay at home for several months.

"Humph! I don't miss him at all. The dead turtle must be hiding there again and has forgotten me a long time ago!"

Thinking of Leo's smirking face, Robin became angry again for no reason, and her walking route subconsciously came to the forest.

Alas! It seems that I really can't change my habit. I randomly found a small hillside, sat on the top of the hill with my legs hugged, and looked at the sea. "Mom, I miss you so much. When will you come back? And Leo, what are you doing now? Do you miss me?"

Just as the girl was staring at the sea in a trance, a huge explosion interrupted her thoughts. Looking in the direction of the explosion, Robin's eyes widened instantly.

The flames enveloped the All-Knowing Tree, and also burned Robin's nerves. The little girl rushed down the hillside towards the All-Knowing Tree. Before leaving, she left a metal plate engraved with a teleportation rune in the forest.

Since receiving this gift, Robin has fallen in love with this way of moving, and even uses teleportation to go home after going out to buy things. Robin knows that this is the life-saving trump card that Leo left for her, and now it comes in handy at this moment.

The town was in chaos because Leo had detonated the bomb in advance, scaring everyone into running for their lives. Robin desperately ran forward against the flow of people, and finally squeezed out of the crowd, but was blocked by several shells. The strong shock wave blew Robin backwards. In this hellish scene, the girl's figure looked so weak and helpless, like a flower in a fire.

The navy's artillery fire became more and more fierce. The town was basically destroyed, with thick smoke and broken buildings everywhere. Robin walked through the ruins and endured the discomfort in her throat. Now she felt a burning pain in her lungs with every breath.

"Doctor and everyone, I hope nothing happens to you." Robin prayed silently.

As she walked, Robin found herself trapped in a burning town. She hid behind a half-broken wall, trying to use it to relieve the burning pain. Suddenly, Robin remembered that there was a path in the forest that led to the All-Knowing Tree.

So Robin immediately took out the teleportation metal plate, but after adjusting the angle for a long time, she failed to teleport successfully. The thick smoke blocked Robin's vision and she could no longer tell the direction of the forest.

Robin could only continue to try again and again, and despair slowly rose from his heart. Several shells happened to fly towards Robin's hiding place, but the little girl seemed to be unaware of the danger approaching and kept turning the direction of the metal plate. Boom, the town was completely reduced to ruins in the violent explosion.

Whoosh! Robin's figure appeared out of nowhere in the forest. Not far away was the small hill where she had rested before. At the critical moment, Robin finally guessed the right direction and activated the teleportation array.

But before she could catch her breath, another battle was about to begin. Sauro threw a warship away with his bare hands, and the navy also collectively turned their guns around. The dense shells forced Sauro to retreat step by step, and Robin was unfortunately dragged into the battlefield here again.

The shock wave of the shell blew Robin away again. The huge force made her body slide far on the ground. At this time, Robin's hands and feet were covered with scratches. The little girl was in pain and tears kept welling up in her eyes.

The girl's exclamation attracted the attention of the giant. He turned around and looked at Sauro, who secretly said, "Oh no, how could a little girl appear here?" At this time, Sauro didn't care about blocking the navy's artillery fire. He ran to Robin, held her in his hands, and then used his back to block the impact of the shells for her.

In order to protect Robin, Sauro had to give up blocking the warship and turned to escape into the depths of the jungle.

Sauro asked as he ran, "Little girl, why didn't you go to the refugee ship? It's too dangerous here. I'll take you to a safe place first."

"Please send me back to the library. I am also a scholar. I want to be with everyone."

Sauro was shocked when he heard this and quickly stopped Robin from continuing: "Don't talk nonsense! How can you be a scholar at such a young age? The library is even more dangerous. I can't send you there."

"Uncle Giant, what I said is true. I can't abandon everyone and run away alone."

"If you were a scholar, Leo should have taken you away long ago. Why are you still here?"

"Leo? Uncle, do you know Leo? He is my brother. Is he also in the Tree of All-Knowing? Please send me back. Even if I die, I want to die beside him."

"Don't give up. Your family will be very sad if you die. I'd better take you to a safe place first."

Hearing the word "family" that Robin longed for but was unfamiliar with, the little girl couldn't help but shed a few tears: "I don't have any family. My mother went to sea when I was very young and has never come back."

Robin's words reminded Sauro of the O'Hara archaeological team, so he subconsciously asked, "What's your mother's name?"

"Nicole Olivia. Nicole Olivia is my mother's name."

"What? You are Olivia's child. Your mother should have returned to O'Hara a long time ago. Oh! I see. She didn't want the people of the World Government to know about your existence, so she deliberately hid from you."

Robin didn't expect that the giant in front of him actually knew his mother. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, he was interrupted by a figure who suddenly jumped out from behind him.

【Ice Cube·Two Thorns】

Two ice spears brushed past Sauro's calves and penetrated the ground. Although they didn't hit him immediately, they made Sauro's calves lose consciousness instantly. His huge body tilted forward due to the inertia of the forward rush, directly smashing a big hole in the ground.

"Ah la la la, it would be too embarrassing if the Demon Slayer Order was stopped by a former vice admiral like this."

Sauro struggled to get up and shouted angrily to Kuzan: "Attacking a group of scholars, what is there to be proud of? You should know that this is simply a massacre."

"For the sake of the normal development of the world in the future, this can't be helped. The scholars did break the law. Justice changes depending on one's standpoint. I won't blame your justice, but if you want to hinder us, I won't sit idly by."

Just as the two were confronting each other, the refugee ship carrying some residents was suddenly sunk, and the one who ordered the firing was another vice admiral, Sakaski.

That bastard! Kuzan looked at the wreckage of the refugee ship in shock, and cursed Sakaski countless times in his heart.

At the same time, Sauro roared at Kuzan: "Is this what you call justice? How can you feel at ease seeing this situation?" Before he finished speaking, Sauro punched Kuzan.

Kuzan was also extremely angry at this time, but even if he disagreed with Sakaski's approach, he would not criticize the justice of the navy in front of outsiders: "Stop talking nonsense, Sauro, you should pay the price for your actions."

Sauro broke the ice on his calf, held Robin in his arms and turned to run away: "Damn, that guy is really powerful, I can't get entangled with him here."

However, Kuzan's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. He would not give Sauro any chance to escape. A gust of cold wind blew past, and Kuzan appeared in the air. He stretched out his hand and shook it from a distance at Sauro.

【Frozen Time Capsule】

In an instant, the ice spread gradually upwards along Sauro's calves, and in a few breaths, the giant's huge body was frozen to the ground.
