One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House

Chapter 290 Prequel to the O'Hara Incident (Part 2)

The coffee in the cup has been refilled several times. Dr. Clover finally explained Robin's situation. It must be said that Dr. Clover is worthy of being a master of liberal arts. The story he told is vivid, but this excellent story did not make Barrett happy at all. After all, the protagonist of this story is lying on the side, and the injuries also doomed this story to have no happy process.

"Why didn't the child's mother give her to you to take care of? Obviously you treat her better." Barrett frowned and asked in confusion.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at us. Let alone taking care of children, we sometimes need Robin to take care of us here." Dr. Clover's face flushed. They are typical academic giants and dwarfs in life. They have to go outdoors to make noodles to prevent accidentally setting the Tree of All-Knowledge on fire. There is no kitchen in the entire Tree of All-Knowledge because after Olbia left, they blew up the kitchen the first time they cooked. Fortunately, they didn't set the house on fire.

"You can't just ignore the child!" Looking at Robin lying on the small bed next to him, Barrett felt a little distressed. He himself was a person without a childhood. He still remembered that a book he had read said that some people use their childhood to heal their whole life, and some people use their whole life to heal their childhood. He felt that he was the latter. Because of this, he actually didn't want to see anyone like him, because healing childhood was really painful.

"Alas, we also persuaded Olbia that she didn't need to lead the team. After all, Robin was so young at the time, but you know that sometimes women are more stubborn than men. We couldn't persuade her at that time. Maybe it was related to her husband. Olbia's husband was a genius at the time, but maybe God was jealous of geniuses. When Robin was one year old, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died of illness in a few months. Since then, Olbia has been like a madman and devoted to her husband's research at the time. No one can persuade him." Dr. Clover looked helpless. Robin's father was once his student. For the fall of this genius, his pain was no less than Olbia's.

"What is she studying?" Barrett asked.

In the face of his question, Dr. Clover fell silent for a moment, just staring at Barrett's half-face covered by the cloak in thought, as if he was hesitating.

Seeing Dr. Clover like this, Barrett no longer hid, pulled off his cloak and revealed his face.

"Dr. Clover, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Douglas Barrett, a former member of the Roger Pirates. I came here to help Captain Roger tell you that he has seen those stone tablets." Barrett said.

"You, you, you!" Faced with Barrett's sudden confession, Dr. Clover almost couldn't breathe. He knew what domineering was. The tyrannical domineering color on Barrett's body had told him that Barrett's identity was not simple, but he didn't expect that he was actually a member of Roger's pirate group back then.

Dr. Clover knew Roger a long time ago. At that time, Barrett had not yet boarded the ship, and Roger had not yet started looking for the final island. When Roger and others landed on the island, they caused a lot of chaos. At that time, the scholars of the Tree of All-Knowing thought they were here to rob.

However, in the subsequent conversation, Dr. Clover, who had just become the leader of the Tree of All-Knowing, found that Roger was a very different pirate. Although he looked unreliable, he was indeed a man of great wisdom. Roger knew the importance of wisdom. When Roger left, Dr. Clover half-jokingly said, "If you see the historical text at sea and find someone who can translate it, please tell me."

What Dr. Clover did not expect was that his half-joking words at that time actually made Roger remember, and told him the result a few years after Roger's death.

"Did you find it? Did you find it all? What is recorded on it?" Dr. Clover looked at Barrett with shining eyes. He is an expert in historical research, and his lifelong goal is to study the historical text.

"You can say that, but I don't know everything. Only Captain Roger knows everything, but he doesn't want to tell us. Obviously, he thinks that the above things are not suitable for public disclosure for the time being." Barrett didn't talk about Kozuki Oden. In fact, he has always looked down on Kozuki Oden. Barrett is always a man who does whatever he wants. He really looks down on indecisive guys like Kozuki Oden.

"Is that so? That's a pity." Dr. Clover sighed, his face full of disappointment, but he couldn't force it. After all, he just said it casually at the time.

"So, this research is the historical text?" Barrett is not stupid. He instantly deduced the result from Dr. Clover's face.

"Yes, our research is mainly the historical text." Dr. Clover nodded and said.

"Nonsense! Are you crazy? Don't you know that this is expressly prohibited by the World Government? With what you have here, if the World Government finds out, they will not let you go!" Barrett's face changed instantly. He knew how dangerous this thing was. During the last voyage, the Roger Pirates began to search for the historical text. Since the news of their search for the historical text reached the ears of the World Government, the World Government's pursuit of them has increased exponentially. Isn't the Roger Pirates strong enough? In this situation, they also survived a narrow escape, and they escaped several times by luck.

And now, all the people in O'Hara combined are not enough for me to beat with one hand, and they dare to study this thing? These old pedants are going to die!

"But this is the most important history, and it is the hope for mankind to move towards the future!" Dr. Clover stood up and said.

"Bullshit! What's the future if people are dead? What's the history if there is no future? Save your life first! Think about other things after you have your life!" Barrett also stood up. His sense of oppression was much stronger than Dr. Clover, but Dr. Clover was a liberal arts graduate after all, and he quarreled with Barrett with all kinds of classics. Just when the two were quarreling happily, Barrett glanced and found that Robin, who was lying next to him, had moved his eyelids.

"Wait, the child is awake." Barrett waved his hand to interrupt Dr. Clover's words, turned his head and looked at Robin. Dr. Clover was also very respectful. When he heard Barrett say Robin was awake, he immediately turned around and looked over.

Robin slowly opened her eyes. The light in the room made her feel a little dazzling. She was confused now. She only remembered that she gave directions to a tall strange man who was knocking on the decorative door. Then, for some reason, some purple aura seemed to appear on the man. Then, she heard the voice of Dr. Clover. The memory ended here.

"Are you awake? Robin? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Dr. Clover walked forward quickly and squatted beside the crib and asked.

"Doctor? What happened?" Robin's voice was filled with a hint of a baby voice. This soft word made people feel cute, but also made Barrett feel a little distressed. The child was eight years old, but the height and appearance were only five or six years old. It was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition. When she was eight years old, she was already a young soldier. Although her life was very hard and she might die at any time, she could at least eat enough and was very strong. After all, a child who was too weak could not carry explosives.

"It's okay, kid. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Dr. Clover said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring Robin, because the child was too smart and too strong. He rarely saw Robin so weak, which made him often forget Robin's situation. This is a poor child.

"Not hungry, not thirsty." Robin shook her head. She recovered a little and saw Barrett standing aside. Smart Robin instantly understood that Dr. Clover had a guest. It was not appropriate for her to stay here at this time. She wanted to get up and leave quickly, so although her stomach was growling with hunger and her throat was about to smoke, she still insisted that she was fine.

"Don't hold on, your lips are chapped, drink a glass of water." Barrett frowned at Robin's appearance, took an empty cup from the side, and took a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to Robin. Robin reached out to take it, but was stopped by Barrett.

"Use your left hand. You have applied medicine on your right hand. You can't move it casually." Barrett said. At this time, Robin also felt a coolness on her right arm. She nodded immediately and stretched out her left hand to take the cup. However, she did not drink it immediately. Instead, she said to Barrett, "Thank you, uncle." Then she raised the cup and drank it.

"After drinking, I will take you to eat something. Dr. Clover, I reserve my opinion. I think you should stop your research immediately before you find a backer who can protect you. You are playing with your life."

Looking at the well-behaved Robin, Barrett sighed helplessly. He never knew that he was so sympathetic, but he still insisted on expressing his opinion to Dr. Clover.

"I will consider it." Dr. Clover nodded. As for whether he would really consider it, God knows.
