I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

Night falls.

The second-floor shared bedroom for boys.

Everyone is gathered here.

But only Luffy and Robin were sleeping in the bed.

Others either leaned against the wall, lay on the ground, sat on the floor, or rested by the bed.

The Merry was relatively small, and each cabin had its own occupants, including two ladies and Bai Yun.

Originally, this large bedroom was Luffy's "captain's room," but it wasn't after Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji joined.

It's quiet at night.

All I could hear were the sounds of breathing, especially from Luffy, who was standing next to me with his mouth wide open and snot bubbling from his nose.

Robin couldn't sleep, not because of the sound of other people breathing.

I just... can't sleep.

Although the breathing sounds were numerous and varied, they actually made Robin feel at ease.

"Can't sleep, Robin?"

Bai Yun's voice suddenly drifted over, carrying a hint of gloom.

But Robin didn't seem scared at all.

"Oh dear, the scare tactic failed."

Bai Yun sat up. He had just been lying in the gap between Robin and Luffy's beds, in a spot where someone might get out of bed and step on him.

How are you feeling?

"Sister Robin?"

How about we go out for a walk?

Bai Yun asked with a smile.

Robin turned to look at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded.

........

The sea at night is beautiful, with the moon and stars reflected on its surface. It would be even more beautiful if mayflies and jellyfish swam by.

Looking out at the sea, Robin, wearing a coat, enjoyed the sea breeze on his face.

"Do you know a lot of things, Mr. Secretary?"

Bai Yun jokingly referred to himself as the captain's secretary, and Robin adopted that title.

Bai Yun accepted it, after all, it was much better than being called "Little Brother Bai Yun".

"Yes, I know much more than you think, Sister Robin."

Bai Yun didn't beat around the bush and admitted it directly.

"Who... exactly are you?"

Robin hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

"Is Robin worried that I'm from the Navy or the World Government?"

"Otherwise, why would Aokiji let Luffy and me go?"

Bai Yun countered with a smile.

Robin fell silent; perhaps she meant it, perhaps she didn't.

"I grew up with Luffy, that's a fact. It's impossible for me to have been an undercover agent since we were kids."

"As for why I know so much..."

Bai Yun paused at this point.

Robin turned his head to look over, and Bai Yun had already turned his head as well. The two looked at each other.

Bai Yun pointed his finger at his own eyes.

"Because of my eyes, which see the past and know the future (pure nonsense)."

"Seeing the eye of historical research?"

Robin repeated, adding one more piece of knowledge he didn't recognize.

There was no way Bai Yun could tell Robin that he was from another time and that Robin and the others were from the "two-dimensional" world.

Bai Yun nodded slightly and explained.

"I've already told Nami about this."

"These eyes can see other people's Devil Fruit abilities, the skills they have mastered, such as swordsmanship, cooking, and knowledge."

"This is basic. The most important thing is that you can see other people's past and their short-term future."

"It's innate, Robin. You can think of it as innate Observation Haki, but I call it the Eye of Observation Haki."

"You've probably heard of the innate Observation Haki."

"so..."

Robin pulled his coat tighter, somewhat incredulous. If that was the case, then he was completely transparent to Bai Yun.

"I did not do it on purpose."

Bai Yun said with a hint of apology.

"Furthermore, we can only see a few glimpses of the future. While we saw more of the past, it wasn't all of it, unless we trust it."

"trust?"

"Ah."

"How much of the past I can see depends on how much trust this person has in me."

“I’m so happy that Sister Robin trusts me.”

Bai Yun said with a smile, which was quite a bright smile.

Robin, infected as well, couldn't help but smile.

Do I trust you?

Bai Yun nodded.

"Not quite, but it's a matter of trust."

"And he was the person on the ship who trusted me the least."

"However, given that I had such a childhood experience, I am already very happy that they trust me like this."

Chapter 428 Tomorrow Will Be a Beautiful Day

Night falls.

Everyone else is asleep.

Bai Yun then sought out Robin on the deck for a heart-to-heart talk.

What happened next.

CP9 is a minor issue; the most important thing is to help Robin resolve her inner conflicts.

........

When Robin talked about his childhood, the smile on his face disappeared again.

"Feel sorry."

Bai Yun replied, "I am truly sorry, but I must say that Robin needs to let go of the past to resolve her inner conflict."

Although Bai Yun is speaking from a position of privilege, it's easy for someone to let go of such an experience, but if one doesn't let go, they will only be troubled by it for life.

“I’ll be frank with you, Sister Robin.”

"I know a lot."

“I know you’re from Ohara.”

"I know about the Ohara catastrophe."

Bai Yun spoke frankly, and Robin gripped his coat tighter again, but remained silent.

"I'm calling you out."

"The sea breeze can definitely help soothe your mood."

"Most importantly, I want to tell you, Sister Robin."

"Don't pay attention to what Aokiji is saying."

Even if what he said is true.

"You are wanted by the Navy and the World Government. Your existence is a threat to the World Government. This is your ability, not your fault. If you have a clear conscience, then you are not wrong."

"Of course, psychological distortion is an exception."

"And then there's the son of the devil."

"Isn't it a very impressive name?"

"Like me, long hair, Bai Yun?"

"If I ever get to see the Marines who drafted the pirate bounties, I'll kick them a couple of times."

"You've said so much."

Anyway, that's what I mean.

"Robin, you are now our partner, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and a member of Luffy's crew."

"Just as I told Aokiji."

"Let alone a Marine Admiral, even if a Marine Fleet Admiral or a Marine hero came, Luffy wouldn't allow himself to be taken away as a crewmate, even if he's currently weak and can't win, even if he might have to pay with his life."

"He will still take action."
