Luffy asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"It's alright. Seeing this person wearing a mask, I thought they were here to assassinate me again... I hope not?"

Iceberg's expression returned to normal as he spoke.

Bai Yun gestured for Luffy to come down, and replied.

"Oh, I see. No, I'm a wishing fairy."

"However, I can satisfy you if you need it."

Iceberg was silent for a few seconds, wondering if he had misheard.

"That's not necessary."

"Let's get back to business. You wanted to talk to me about something?"

"That's right, I'm here to find out the truth!!"

Luffy immediately replied.

"the truth?"

"I did see Nico Robin last night. Is she your partner?"

"This is true."

"real?!"

Luffy still refused to believe it.

Iceberg pulled a pistol directly from behind his pillow. "Stop making excuses. I let you in because I need to ask you for a favor."

Is this how you beg for something? You kneel down, and I'll ask you for a favor?

Bai Yun silently complained to himself.

But the reality is quite serious.

"Now, let me see Nico Robin one more time."

"I can't do that, because I don't know where she is right now."

Luffy answered decisively.

Iceberg could tell from his expression that he wasn't lying, so he sighed and lowered the gun.

"You can leave now. Believe it or not, the person I saw last night was definitely Nico Robin!"

Chapter 449 You betrayed me!!

Backstreet of Water City.

Inside the recessed corner of the beverage shop.

Robin and Bai Yun were both there. The person opposite them was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly from a distance, but Bai Yun and Robin could see him clearly.

It's that guy, Lucci.

"You guys did a good job last night."

"Oh dear, I didn't do anything, it was all thanks to Sister Robin."

Bai Yun said, and Robin raised an eyebrow. Was he mocking me?

"This is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."

"Yes, but the most important thing is that tonight, we will enter Iceberg's room again. We need to prepare for the worst. At that time, it won't matter if we destroy all the evidence."

"Of the original owner of that thing, Tom's, only Iceberg is still alive. No matter how much they pretend to be stupid, tonight, in the name of CP9, we must get that thing!!"

"Remember, this is a just cause!"

Lucci's words about justice and righteousness came from the bottom of his heart and didn't need to be expressed through ventriloquism.

Bai Yun appeared unfazed, but inwardly he found it amusing. "Justice? This is just overflowing with justice."

"A just action!"

"Yes, for the sake of justice in our hearts."

"In order to acquire that power to carry out justice."

Bai Yun replied, but Lu Qi did not answer, and it was impossible to tell whether he was being sarcastic.

"No matter what, see you tonight. I believe you won't be absent."

After saying that, Lucci got up, pushed Bruno aside, and went inside, returning to the dock.

The door closed, Bruno returned to his physical form, glanced at his watch, and said, "I'm going to run the tavern now."

"Make yourselves at home. As Lucci said, we'll see you tonight."

After saying that, he left too.

Bai Yun was still drinking his coffee, waiting for Robin to speak.

After finishing his coffee and reading the newspaper, Robin finally couldn't help but speak.

"If you come with me tonight, it's a one-way trip."

“Now that I know their plans and what they look like, it’s too late to back out, Robin.”

"Stop talking, just don't forget our bet."

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to them? I'll go with you."

Bai Yun had a kind and understanding appearance.

Robin, however, felt extremely awkward. She didn't mind herself, but she felt uncomfortable involving others.

.........

"Hey! Sister Robin!!"

On the street, Sanji and Chopper in his deer form are searching for Robin. Even after learning that Robin is the one who assassinated Iceberg, Sanji still shouts Robin's name at the top of his lungs.

Fortunately, it is currently the time when the tsunami is approaching, and the residents are busy moving their valuables. Many people have already reached higher ground to avoid the disaster. Otherwise, hearing him act so blatantly, they would definitely think he was an accomplice in the assassination.

At that moment, Chopper suddenly smelled a familiar scent, looked across the river, and froze instantly.

"What's wrong, Chopper?"

Seeing that Chopper was silent, Sanji asked, and following his gaze, he saw Robin and Bai Yun on the other side of the river.

"Sister Robin!!!"

Sanji immediately shouted.

Bai Yun protested, "Hey, can't you see me?!"

Sanji continues to choose to ignore it.

"Robin, Forest Mask has already told us about your situation!! No matter what, we're partners!! Come back."

Bai Yun never expected this, Sanji, you betrayed me!

Robin's gaze swept over, but Bai Yun simply tilted his head back and whistled—a classic example of feigning ignorance in the world of One Piece, and anyone who uses it knows what I mean.

"A buddy?"

"I am truly happy to meet you all."

"And then what, do you let you meet Aokiji again? If Aokiji hadn't held back, you might all be in Water Seven by now."

"I'm sorry, I will never go back to you."

"I know you consider me a partner, so I beg you, please don't come looking for me anymore!"

"I'm saying goodbye to you all in this city!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Sister Robin?!"

"Luffy won't agree, and neither will we!!"

"You should also try to persuade Sister Robin!! Bai Yun!!"

Sanji shouted.

Bai Yun ignored everything and continued whistling, thinking, "Who told you to betray me earlier?"

"enough."

"Stop talking."

"Although our time together was short, I probably won't see each other again after today. Please give my regards to the others. You've all been very kind to me, thank you."

After saying that, Robin turned around without hesitation. This decisiveness was not out of heartlessness, but out of her protection for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Goodbye."

Upon hearing the words "Goodbye," Sanji plunged straight into the river.

"Stop joking!!"

Chopper, who was on the shore, couldn't possibly dive into the water, and watched Robin drift further away.

"Wait!! Robin!!"

Wait a minute!!!

Unfortunately, Robin and Bai Yun still ended up in the alley, and by the time Sanji arrived, the alley was empty.

"She's gone."

Chopper crossed the bridge to the other side of the river and spoke to Sanji, who was sitting by the river.

"Ah."

Sanji was soaking wet, his shirt was off and wrung out, but the cigarette in his mouth was still burning.

"Chopper, go find Luffy and the others and tell them what Robin said."

"Ah, okay, Sanji, what about you?"

Chopper agreed and then asked a question in return.

Bai Yun did give us some information earlier. Sanji recalled the lip-reading Bai Yun uttered when he turned around; it was just two words.
