September of One Piece

The next day, the news that Espagu was assassinated spread throughout the City of Seven Waters, and the murderer pointed directly at the Straw Hat Pirates.

Sanji and Chopper, who were looking for Robin in the city of water, accidentally discovered Robin who had been missing all this time, and the three of them looked at each other across the water.

"I... will not come back to you again! I will bid farewell to you in this city!" Robin said calmly, but no one knew the emptiness in her heart after she said this.

"What are you talking about? Miss Robin! Ah! That's right! It's because of what the newspaper said, right?!" Sanji yelled at Robin, and now Esper is being reported everywhere in the city of water Gu was assassinated by Robin: "You don't need to take that kind of thing to heart! None of us would believe it! Pirates are often wronged!"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry for bringing you into this! But...the reports about me are all true. Last night, the person who broke into the mayor's room was indeed me! I have a darkness that you don't know, and that darkness always It will destroy you one day!" Robin said this calmly, as if talking about other people's affairs.

At this moment, Robin saw that Sanji and Chopper standing on the opposite bank suddenly changed their expressions, staring at her behind and pointing at her, without making a sound for a long time.

"Miss Robin, be careful!!" It took Sanji a while to shout this sentence, but it was too late for Robin to react.

"I found you, Nico Robin." A deep male voice came out from behind the mask. The black robe instantly surrounded Robin who hadn't reacted yet. When it was lifted again, Robin was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Robin!"

"Robin!"

Sanji and Chopper immediately took up a fighting posture, but across the shore, it was impossible for them to rush to rescue Robin.

"The truth has always been hidden under justice... Go find it." Sanji and others only heard the man say such an inexplicable sentence, and then disappeared from their sight.

"That man... who the hell..." Sanji frowned, already sure that they lost Robin's trace again, but through the man's words, Sanji thought, there might be a huge conspiracy behind this incident. "Hidden under justice...what the hell does it mean..."

------

Robin was carried high into the sky by the wind, and now he was suspended above the sky. The City of Seven Waters has become very small.

Robin frowned, and quietly looked at the masked man in front of her. The huge black robe covered his entire body, but the only part that could see his face was blocked by a mask. After a while, Robin lightly Opening his lips, he said with a trembling tone: "Why are you here, Mr. Mage."

After being pointed out by Robin, a cheerful laugh came from behind the mask, and the mask was completely removed with a hand with white gloves: "It seems that you have indeed discovered it."

Jiuyue looked at Robin with a smile. At this moment, he actually looked much older than usual. His waist-length dark blue hair did not make Jiuyue look feminine at all, but had an unruly temperament on the contrary. .

"You?!" Robin looked at the obviously more mature and stable September in shock, expressing surprise.

"Ah, it's changed a little bit. After all, they can't be recognized by Luffy right away. I came to you mainly because I have something very important to ask you." Jiuyue put a finger on her lips and silenced gesture.

"I'm afraid I can't help you, I've already quit..." Robin said quickly, not caring what the CP9 people would think of her disappearing for so long, but she was interrupted by September before she finished speaking.

"I know, I'm really grateful that you sacrificed yourself to protect us. Although I don't care about slaughtering demons, it's good to have one thing less. However, if this kind of protection is based on the need to abandon yourself Partner, with all due respect, if they knew the truth, they would definitely not agree." September's words were like a thunderbolt hitting Robin's head.

"You...you know..."

"Why don't you know?" September said with a smile

Robin fell silent under September's rhetorical question.Yes, why don't you know?Jiuyue once asked her if she wanted to know the future or go back to the past. Although she would not really put in practice, she also revealed enough information, didn't she...

"I'm very happy. You are thinking of your partner. Why not just take advantage of this time to declare war on the world? Why not declare war for the sake of your partner." Jiuyue said plainly enough to shock Luo. Bin seldom cried out.

"I don't want you to save me at all! I don't have the desire to live anymore, this is enough, what I do is my freedom! Don't wishful thinking!"

"Okay, okay, what you say is what you say, ah, yes, I just said that an experiment is needed, and if this experiment is successful, it will be able to seal the ability of the capable person." Jiuyue didn't care about the roaring Luo at all. Robin changed the subject without haste, causing Robin to choke in his throat what he wanted to say next.

"...You want to seal the Devil Fruit?!" After a long silence, Robin followed Jiuyue's words.

"That's what it means. This incident is just right. Are you with CP9 now? There are also many capable people among them, so they will be good experimental materials." Jiu Yue said.

"..." Robin bit her lip, for a while she didn't know what to answer Jiu Yue, who knew more than she imagined.

"I'm a little annoyed at letting Luffy and the others take the blame, but if you did it, I can understand it. This distrust has always been with you, so it's better to just end this incident." Nine Yue said so, and then put the mask back on his face: "I need to know who is in CP9, will you help me? Robin, we are partners, even if you don't think so."

"I've already quit the straw hat gang..." Robin gritted his teeth and shouted at Jiuyue, but Jiuyue's fingers pressed her lips, preventing her from saying another sentence.

"I know, I know, what the Demon Slaughter Order means to you, but... let's make a bet, Luffy's heart for their partners, even if they want to be enemies of the world, they will take you away Robin, as you said at the beginning, become our partner, and this incident cannot be an excuse to break away from our partner."

Robin looked at September's smiling mask, as if seeing September's confident smile behind the mask. He wanted to say a thousand words, but was dumbfounded by September's see-through eyes. .

"Come on, Robin, let's make a bet." September repeated again, the clear voice passed through the mask, although the tone was completely changed, it still impressed Robin deeply.

In silence, Robin nodded slightly.

"I'm looking forward to the new you joining." After speaking in September, Robin suddenly discovered that she had returned to the place where she had talked with Sanji and Chopper, but Sanji and the others who were on the other side had already leave.

Robin narrowed her eyes slightly, collected her emotions within a few seconds, turned around and walked towards the meeting point that CP9 told her.

--------

After learning most of the information about CP9 from Robin, September returned to the Meili. At this moment, there is no one else here except it. Luffy and the others have already left. It seems that the decisive choice is still finalized Yet.

Thick fog began to fill around the ship, September shed the black robe and mask made of elements, and returned to its original appearance.

"Is the keel broken..." Jiuyue said softly.

'I really want to...keep sailing...'

"I know..." Listening to the heartfelt voice from the depths of the Meili, Jiuyue supported the hull with one hand, and the backtracking was constantly exerting, but the ripples on the ship would bounce back backtracking, and it was impossible to move Meili away. No. Repair "Obviously, even death can be restored... But even the hull cannot be restored." Continuous backtracking did not have any effect at all.

Jiuyue knows what the Meili means to everyone. For him, the Meili is not just a ship, but also a partner. It has been with them all the time.

"Who are you! Get your hands off the Meili!!" A roar mixed with anger sounded from behind Jiuyue.

The dense fog gradually cleared, and it was only in September that he could see who was coming. It turned out to be Usopp, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body.

"September?!" Usopp put down the slingshot in his hand, seemingly surprised, but his expression became quite complicated.

"It's completely broken..." September continued.

"Shut up! The Merry is still sailing! I'll fix it!"

September listened to Usopp's unwilling roar, and soon, there was a strong wind blowing around him, and even the Mei Li was whining in the wind, and the first deck was hung by the wind in a blink of an eye, and surrounded by Mei Li. Lihao's side was spinning with the wind.

"Stop it! September! Do you want to dismantle the Merry!" Usopp rushed towards September, and the Merry began to fall into the sea in the strong wind.

September looked at Usopp calmly, without any intention of stopping, and even directly trapped Usopp, who wanted to rush forward to stop him, with an earthen coffin.

Usopp roared as he watched the Mei Li being tilted 180 degrees by September's strong wind, until... the keel of the bottom of the ship was exposed.

The strong wind stagnated in an instant, and the whole ship fell into the sea water.

The obvious traces of repairs on the keel were completely exposed at this moment. Usopp, who was still struggling, no longer struggled seeing this scene. September untied Usopp from the shackles, and saw Usopp stumbling towards May Li Hao, looking at its damaged keel, instantly burst into tears.

"If it's not hopeless, we don't want to give up on the Meili." September's voice came out faintly.

Usopp broke down in tears: "It...can... sail again...it will be fine..."

"Don't lie to yourself! It can't! Keep sailing, it will only sink it in the sea..." September's cruel words interrupted Usopp, causing Usopp to growl angrily.

"Shut up! It can! It's a ship that has even been to the sky!! Aren't you a mage who claims to be able to control everything! You can't even repair a ship! Just like this, you can still be called a mage Huh!" Usopp snarled, almost pulling September's collar to question him.

"Yeah, manipulating everything, this sentence doesn't really match the name." September turned the boat over again, and sat on the side of the boat, watching Usopp sobbing on the Merry.

"In fact, you already know that the Meili is no longer able to sail. The Meili told me that it wants to continue sailing, and I want it to continue sailing, even if it uses magic to protect its hull and force it to continue sailing." That's fine, but... it's really enough, let it, just dock here." September's voice, even the strong wind hanging from the sea, couldn't hide it, but Usopp didn't seem to notice it, he turned and went He took the ship repair tools and planned to continue repairing the ship: "Usopp, do you know the ship spirit?"

Usopp, who was in silence, just raised his head because of September's words. Although the tears on his face have not been wiped away, he has obvious detection.

"The boat elf is an elf created by the crew caring for each other and cherishing the hull of the ship. In order to repay the favor, the ship will turn into a 'person' who is like a crew member holding a mallet and wearing a raincoat. In order for Meili to continue sailing with everyone , insisting until now, can you understand? Usopp."

Hearing this, Usopp has been crying for a long time, and he knew that the figure he saw at night on Sky Island... I am afraid that one of them is the Merry!As for another obviously taller figure, it should be September.

But even so, Usopp still stubbornly wants to repair the Merry, and it is precisely because of hearing this information that the Merry needs to be repaired even more. Usopp thinks so, as the hammer keeps beating Hull, September stood up.

"I'm just telling you this information. After all, the elf of this ship comes from your love. I know you have quit the Straw Hat Pirates." September's words made Usopp's hammer mess up. Angle, also more and more sobbing, I don't know if it's because of the ship or because of quitting the Straw Hat Pirates.

September continued: "Luffy just did what a captain should do. What he needs to consider is the entire Straw Hat Pirates. No matter how reluctant he is, this is the only choice he can make. I can’t even understand it, so it’s understandable to withdraw. In addition, CP9 used the demon-slaying order to put pressure on Robin. Robin handed himself over to the government in order to keep us. This includes you, Usopp... ...The situation she is facing now may be more difficult than ours, you have to be careful of the government, after all, you were one of us."

Jiuyue said that a mask made of condensed elements was put on his face again, covered by a dark robe, and gradually disappeared on the Meili, leaving Usopp standing still in place, thinking about something.
