One Piece: Who still has dreams?

【系统背包（3/4）：海楼石x131000；游云x1；御厨子x1；（空）】

Life is getting better!

Two weapons, each taking up a backpack slot, that's incredibly extravagant!

[Remaining Essence: 7107]

The essence also made a fortune, over seven thousand, enough to replicate a perfectly intact Imperial Chef (6699 essence). Tsk tsk.

Reddio grinned sheepishly, admiring the rewards for a while before checking the prizes from the two missions.

……

[Extended Time Card (1 hour)]

[Description: Choose any of your abilities to use this item. That ability will last for a full hour without any side effects.]

[Note 1: Abilities unrelated to the overall strength evaluation are not recognized by the system, but this item can still be used.]

[Note 2: This item is a one-time consumable.]

[Note 3: This item cannot be duplicated.]

……

Any ability, no side effects, lasts for 1 hour?

[Mastered: Running (Proficient), Swimming (Skilled), Basic Physical Techniques (Skilled), Cloud-Wandering Staff Technique (Beginner), Six Styles of Shave (Beginner), Frost Moon Sword Technique (Initial Understanding)]

...I ask you, which of these abilities is one that I myself cannot use continuously for 1 hour?

However, if you could learn hypnosis and then use this tool to get a hypnotic aura that lasts for 1 hour, that would seem pretty amazing.

In short, it seems to be a useless little tool that's neither useful nor worth throwing away.

Redio left it alone for the time being, just like the Heaven and Tyrant, storing it in the mission log.

……

[Quest Scroll (Intermediate)]

[Description: This is a blank intermediate scroll. You can write your requirements for the task. The scroll will automatically search and match using the system's radar function.]

[Note 1: The more specific and stringent the requirements, the longer the automatic matching will take. For faster results, you can choose fuzzy matching.]

[Note 2: This item does not count towards the daily three system radar search opportunities.]

[Note 3: This item cannot be duplicated.]

……

This quest scroll is quite interesting.

Redio leaned against the balcony railing of the palace, enjoying the cool evening breeze of the desert oasis, quietly pondering the possible uses of this prop.

Not far away, a giant falcon flew out of the palace complex and headed towards the blood-red sunset in the west.

"Bell went to 'Rainy Land' to check if Crocodile was still there."

The graceful 13-year-old Princess Vivi walked briskly over, her bright blue hair dancing lightly in the wind. Gazing at the falcon reduced to a mere black dot in the western sunset, she said, "Please understand, this is not because my father doesn't trust you..."

Not only did Bel of the Falcon go to check on the crocodile, but Jackal Jakka also brought his men and, based on the information given by Robin, went to several hidden locations on the outskirts of the capital to search for the dancing powder that Baroque Works was smuggling and storing.

"It's alright. It's nothing."

Redio leaned against the antique-patterned stone fence. "Where are Robin and the others?"

"The king took them to visit the great library of the Alabasta royal family."

Vivi smiled and asked with curiosity in her bright eyes, "Aren't you amazing?"

Redio said, "It's just so-so."

"But you drove Crocodile away! Before he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his bounty was 8100 million Berries!"

Redio laughed, "I didn't chase him away; I tricked him."

Vivi's eyes widened in surprise: "He's so easy to fool?"

"Because I was telling him the truth."

"If it's the truth, why is it a lie?"

“I gave him a reason he couldn’t refuse,” Redio said, “but the place he was sent to had someone he couldn’t beat. I reckon he won’t be coming back.”

Vivi chuckled, "That's great. That's exactly what he deserves, being such a bad guy!"

"In any case, thank you very much." The young princess thanked Redio sincerely with great poise. "This country owes you a debt of gratitude."

“You people who took in Ohara have already thanked me.”

Redio stood up. "Let's go, take me to see how those nerds are doing."

Vivi smiled and led the way.

-----------------

[Albania Royal Palace, Royal Library]

How many unique books and precious documents are there in the royal library of an ancient civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years?

These scholars from Ohara, who arrived 17 years ago, felt a surge of happiness as they walked among the towering, mountain-like bookshelves.

King Cobra led the way, but the scholars who followed would often be so captivated by the titles of books on the shelves that they would stop and start reading.

As they walked, the scholars scattered books, reading with great interest, calling to each other, discussing excitedly, and gesturing wildly.

"I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself, Your Majesty," Dr. Clover said somewhat embarrassedly.

Olvia and Robin, mother and daughter, were whispering to each other nearby. Although they had crossed time and space, their ages were mismatched, and they looked more like sisters.

Just half a day ago, the 8-year-old Robin whom Olbia had just met was a little girl crying to her mother in distress, and in the blink of an eye, she had become the adult woman in front of her who had gone through so much hardship. Whenever she had the chance, she wanted to ask Robin more about her life over the years.

Robin tried to speak of her life over the past 17 years in a calm and simple manner. Her light purple eyes reflected her mother's self-reproachful expression, and she was also secretly worried: would her mother and the doctor really continue to exist forever?

Will such a good thing happen to me?

If they were real, living people, then why, no matter how hard I try to recall, the image of Ohara from 17 years ago in my mind is still that of a sea of ​​fire under the barrage of Buster Call cannons? And the image of Saul frozen by Aokiji seems to be right before my eyes as well?

Robin felt a deep melancholy. He turned his head and saw his mother, Olvia, standing close by. She had somehow turned into a humanoid ice sculpture, staring blankly at him, her mouth still opening and closing.

"Robin, are you alright?"

Olvia stroked Robin's trembling back, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, it's Mom's fault. I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore..."

Hallucination?

Robin's pupils dilated, and he shuddered. He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Mom, it's not because of you. It's okay."

"Before I left, something came to mind."

Just then, Redio walked over with Princess Vivi, seemingly out of nowhere.

He looked at Cobra, "Next year seems to be the World Conference, which happens every four years? I sincerely advise Your Majesty, you'd better not think about confronting the Five Elders or asking them about Queen Lily or about 'D'. You'll die."

Vivi nervously grabbed Cobra's arm.

Cobra said solemnly, "If I hadn't said what you said today, and hadn't seen these scholars of Ohara with my own eyes, perhaps one day I would have been unable to resist the doubts that had been building up in my heart for so many years and wanted to ask the Five Elders for clarification! But since I already suspect that the 'World Government' might be an enemy, I certainly won't act rashly. You can rest assured about that."

Redio nodded. The scholars from Ohara wanted to thank him, but he raised his hand to stop them: "Instead of saying that, think about how to hide yourselves well. That's your way of repaying me. First of all, Clover, do you really want to keep such an eye-catching hairstyle?"

"what?"

Dr. Clover never expected that all eyes would be on his hair.

So, a few minutes later, Dr. Clover was pushed into a chair by the laughing crowd and quickly shaved his head into a clean buzz cut. An O'Hara scholar, seeing Clover's new look which she had never seen before, laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

"It's chilly." Cloba touched his head; it felt prickly.

Cobra, Vivi, and Olbia couldn't help but chuckle. Robin smiled slightly, but when she turned her head, she found that Redio had already quietly walked away.

She whispered something to her mother and then followed.

……

This is the last time!

Reddio opened the system's mission interface, easily found Robin's 5-star mission, and planned to make one last... or second to last attempt.

If this doesn't work, don't force me to pin the stigma of Heaven and Tyrant on Olbia!

You have selected a delivery method.

……

Chapter 38...wait, what transformation??

[17 years ago, West Sea, Ohara]

Before the enormous Tree of Omniscience, the scholars were detained by agents in black suits. A thin, dark-haired little girl stepped forward and cried out to the white-haired woman who was being taken away:

Are you...my mother?

The little girl cried as if clinging to the last glimmer of hope, "It's me! It's Robin! I've grown up now, do you remember me? I've been waiting for you to come back... I've been studying very hard... Don't leave me all alone anymore..."

This time I was lucky; the item was randomly delivered to a very nearby location.
