One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Deep in the jungle of Ohara Island.

"There's no mistake, it's definitely around here!"

Emilia trudged through the weeds and thorns, her skin cut and bleeding, her legs weak from tension and exhaustion, but her pace did not slow down at all.

The battle at the beach is far away, and no one has yet noticed that she has disappeared from the warship, but she is unsure how long this situation will last and must seize every second!

Finally, she let out a soft cry, and a smile bloomed on her dark face.

"Found it!"

Before her lay a crystal-clear lake.

Hidden by large trees, the setting sun casts its glow on the lake, and a breeze sweeps across the surface, carrying the fragrance of flowers.

Emilia stood blankly by the lake, recalling the time she and her mother had swum there many years ago.

"Mother."

Two streams of tears welled up in her eyes, washing away the darkness on her face and revealing her snow-white skin underneath.

She quickly wiped her face; now was not the time for sentimentality, she had to find the thing immediately!

Why isn't it there?!

Emilia nervously observed the bottom of the lake and found only sand, pebbles, and small fish; nothing else.

She jumped into the water with a splash and didn't swim back up for several minutes.

"Whoosh!"

Emilia let out a sigh of relief, swam dejectedly to the shore, sat down, and stared blankly at the lake.

The black ash she had smeared on her body was washed away, and the lake reflected a face with delicate features. Although her eyebrows and eyes were still very young, she had a mature temperament that far exceeded that of her peers.

"Oh, there really isn't one."

Nico Robin wrung out her wet, long hair, and the white dye she had specially made for it faded completely, returning it to its original jet black.

She shook her head, recalled her plans along the way, and sighed deeply.

Years ago, Robin escaped from the Buster Call. Before leaving, she saw Dr. Clover directing the scholars to dump all the documents into the lake.

Dr. Clover had anticipated the World Government's move and had waterproofed these precious documents beforehand, hiding them in the lake once the Navy launched the Buster Call.

This lake is secluded, and the documents can be hidden inside without being destroyed by fire; it is indeed a good place.

Robin has been in exile for eight years and has been thinking about going back to Ohara to see if these documents are still there, but the Navy goes to Ohara from time to time to check if any have escaped, so she has never had the chance.

Until he met Uriel Sith.

She lied to Sith, saying she had never encountered any ghost ship. She had simply joined the pirate crew, working as a cook while looking for an opportunity to go to Ohara. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to this kind of life.

Unexpectedly, Sith came and wiped out the pirate crew. When she heard that Sith was looking for some kind of ghost ship, she had a flash of inspiration and made up a story about the "Ghost of Ohara" to entice Sith to come to Ohara to investigate.

Once the Sith reaches Ohara, she will have the opportunity to search for the documents!

Even if the Sith discovers that there are no ghosts in Ohara, it doesn't matter; it's just a legend, and it's not her fault.

This plan was undoubtedly quite risky, but Robin was too eager to return to his hometown to find the documents.

The result was far beyond her expectations. The "ghost ship" was actually in Ohara, and it was even a member of the Big Mom Pirates!

This was very advantageous to her, and Robin took advantage of the fighting between the two sides to secretly disembark and run to find the documents.

Unfortunately, despite all her efforts to get this far, she was still disappointed.

"Ha, it was taken over by the World Government a long time ago. I was so stupid."

Robin raised his hand to his forehead and gave a silent, bitter smile.

Dr. Clover's book-collecting plan was a last resort, so it's normal that it was discovered by the World Government. She was just trying her luck.

With a light breath, Robin quickly composed himself.

Eight years of exile had long since calmed her mind, and this setback was nothing to her.

Regardless of whether there are documents or not, she will carry out historical investigations to the end!

As she was figuring out how to escape unnoticed, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from above.

Robin looked up sharply and saw a fat man wearing a yellow coat and several iron chains wrapped around his body floating in mid-air.

No, it's not floating. The guy's hair is combed into a propeller shape and is spinning rapidly, carrying him through the air.

"Hahaha, it's Nico Robin! What a pleasant surprise!"

When the fat man saw Robin, he opened his mouth wide and laughed out loud.

Robin was filled with remorse. He had jumped into the lake in his excitement, washing away his disguise and clearly being recognized.

She didn't know this guy, but if Sith were standing here, she would recognize him instantly—

Buffalo, a combatant of the Donquixote Family and a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Spin-Spin Fruit ability!

He was the one who was secretly monitoring the Sith from the air just now.

Not long ago, Donquixote Doflamingo received a commission from an intermediary, who said that the Navy wanted him to find the Revolutionary Army's giant and clown. After asking for a large sum of money, he readily agreed and, after some investigation, suspected that it was the Sith.

Of course, Dover wouldn't openly confront the Sith. Instead, he would find out the Sith's whereabouts and then have Buffalo fly behind the Sith to observe his every move.

At this moment, Buffalo's clothes were ripped in several places, the work of Katakuri earlier; if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been gone.

"Capturing you back is a success in itself; the young master might even be able to become a Shichibukai because of it!"

He stared at Robin with great excitement.

He was originally planning to run away, but his Observation Haki suddenly detected someone below, and he immediately spotted Robin revealing her true face.

He knew very well how valuable this woman was. His young master had previously accepted the task of finding Robin, but had not succeeded.

If we capture Robin and bring her back, we won't get scolded!

Robin looked up at him and calmly said:

"If you want money, I can give it to you, I guarantee it will be more than the bounty on the poster."

She felt that the other person was just like the others who wanted to capture her, only after money.

Buffalo was taken aback, and asked expectantly:

"Really?!"

Robin nodded and smiled:

"I won't lie to you, I'll give it to you once you get down."

As expected, Buffalo obediently lowered his altitude. Robin secretly prepared to activate the Flower Flower Fruit, waiting for him to enter her attack range before delivering a fatal blow!

To everyone's surprise, Buffalo suddenly chuckled:

"Don't think I'm an idiot, Ei!"

He suddenly pulled out several bombs, spun around at high speed, and threw them at Robin.

"Rotating Projectile Cannon!"

Boom—

On the shore, Katakuri blasted Sith away with a Mochi Blade Bullet. Sith's body crashed into the sea like a cannonball, sending up waves seven or eight meters high.

Katakuri stared at the sea, panting heavily. This young navy officer was far more troublesome than he had imagined!

He had been fighting Sith for almost half an hour. In fact, with his powerful Devil Fruit and rich combat experience, he was much stronger than Sith. Logically, the fight should have ended long ago.

But that guy's physique was too outrageous. Many of Katakuri's attacks were completely ineffective. A few times he did manage to draw blood from Sith, but the opponent was able to recover quickly, while Katakuri himself suffered quite a few injuries.

Fortunately, he finally seized the opportunity to knock Sith into the sea. He concluded that Sith must have eaten a Devil Fruit, otherwise how could he have such a strange ability?

Just as Katakuri breathed a sigh of relief, his Observation Haki suddenly began to issue a warning.

At the same time, a voice sounded from behind:

"I'm here."

He instantly gripped the trident and thrust it backward, but Sith had already dodged it, and then unleashed a fist wreathed in flames.

boom!

Katakuri's face was struck hard, flames and explosions erupted simultaneously, blood gushed out, and he even lost two front teeth.

He covered his face and knelt on the ground, glancing at Sith's wounds, which had healed in several places.

【Ocean Dragon Soul: Dealing damage to enemies slightly restores health】

"I can talk to you all day long."

Sith crossed his arms, full of confidence.

He used Night Hunt to become invisible, then secretly climbed ashore from another spot and circled around to ambush Katakuri from behind.

He could use many similar tricks if he wanted to.

Katakuri finally showed a conflicted expression. After all, they had come from afar. If they continued to drag this out, something might happen to Daifuku, or Whitebeard and Kaido might hear the news and take advantage of the situation, which would cause a lot of trouble.

He was torn between his inner turmoil and his body was trembling slightly.

"We're retreating."

He uttered those words helplessly.
