Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Chapter 131 Nightmares of the Past

"This is terrifying. Is this what a Marine Admiral is like? He's practically a human-shaped natural disaster."

"That's right, look, my back is all wet. And this is just looking. If I went up there, I'm afraid I'd be dried up in no time."

"Tch~ So what if he's a Marine Admiral? He still lost to our captain. If the other guy hadn't run away so fast, the Navy would have lost a Marine Admiral today."

"Hahaha, that's right! What admiral? Our captain is invincible!"

'

The relaxed hunting party immediately erupted into a lively discussion.

Some were still shaken by the terrifying power Kuzan had displayed, but most were excited and cheering.

Kuzan disappeared, and Zane returned.

In the eyes of the members of the hunting party, this comparison undoubtedly showed that their captain had won the battle just now, forcing even the admiral to flee.

"Commander, you're amazing!"

Baby-5, her face flushed, ran over and leaped into Zain's arms, her two delicate arms tightly wrapped around Zain's neck.

"Boss!"

"Commander!"

Manlong, Nico Robin, Wapa, Bonis, and others also gathered around immediately.

Zain reached out and hugged Baby-5's waist, his gaze also fixed on the crowd.

It was clear that everyone was in high spirits, with excitement on their faces.

And the way they looked at him was with more respect and admiration than ever before.

"How was it? You all just witnessed the strength of the Admiral, right? We'll be facing many more opponents like him in the future." Zane pulled Baby-5 to his side and smiled at everyone.

"Boss, although I'm not strong enough to compete with an opponent like this right now, I will definitely train even harder and will never hold you back." Manlong took a deep breath and said loudly with determination.

"That's right. Such an opponent is terrifying to even think about, but I won't stand still. Sooner or later, I'll have to fight this guy." Wapa, who has always been brave, showed no fear and made a very passionate declaration.

"Captain, don't worry, I've already reached the basics of Armament Haki. Once I master it, I will definitely live up to the swordsmanship you taught me," Bonis said in a deep voice, showing no sign of weakness.

Others followed suit, showing that while Kuzan's appearance and the strength he displayed brought great pressure, they did not break everyone's will.

Seeing this, Zain was very satisfied.

He certainly didn't expect everyone in the hunting party to have the strength of Kuzan.

All he wanted to see was an attitude.

As long as their will is not crushed, then the other party is a subordinate worth cultivating.

Open the way with thunder.

The frozen New Wave-Riding Ship and its escort quickly sailed out of the ice-covered area along the passage and set sail again.

"Commander, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately, is that alright?"

The voyage resumed normally. As Zane returned to the cabin with Baby-5 in his arms, just as he was about to go into the room to celebrate, Nico Robin, who had been quiet until now, suddenly caught up with him.

"Okay, sure!"

Seeing Nico Robin's serious expression, Zane was surprised but did not refuse.

Nodding in agreement, he turned to look at Baby-5 beside him, who was pouting and glaring unhappily at Nico Robin.

"Okay, go take a shower first, I'll come find you in a bit!"

Zain chuckled and patted the other person's pert buttocks.

"...Alright then!"

After wiggling her bottom, Baby-5 reluctantly went to her room next door with a pout, thanks to Zane's comforting words.

"Come in!"

Zane opened the door and walked in first, with Nico Robin following behind. The two entered the room.

Click!

Upon entering the room, Zane casually walked towards the sofa, but the commotion behind him made him turn around in surprise.

Lock the door?

What kind of operation is this?

Nico Robin, who had just closed and locked the door, saw Zane turn to look at her and explained calmly, "What we're about to discuss is more important, and I was afraid of being disturbed."

Zain scrutinized the other person from head to toe.

really?

I do not believe.

Although he didn't believe it, Zain was still willing to be a considerate leader, so he obediently sat on the sofa and waited for the other party's next performance.

Seeing that Zane seemed to believe what she said, Nico Robin breathed a sigh of relief and then walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"Captain, you probably already know that I come from Ohara," Nico Robin said slowly after composing herself.

"Yes, I know!" Zain nodded slightly.

"Ohara, my hometown, was once a world-renowned archaeological site, and the island boasts the largest library in the world, known as the Tree of Knowledge..."

'

Nico Robin begins to describe what her hometown used to look like.

At first, she just wanted to ease her nervousness, but as she spoke, the sadness that had been hidden in her heart for a long time gradually surfaced.

Especially when she spoke of the day of Ohara's destruction, her voice grew increasingly somber, influenced by her depressed mood.

He was heavy, and tears gradually welled up in his eyes.

The destruction of Ohara was undoubtedly a nightmare that Nico Robin could never forget.

Just like the previous battle between Zane and Kuzan.

In the hunting party, Nico Robin seemed to be silent all the time, but in fact she was the most nervous one.

Kuzan was involved in the Buster Call that destroyed Ohara.

Even Saul died at the hands of the enemy.

Although in the end, for reasons unknown, the other party let her go.

"Captain, I'm really happy right now because you've shown me that even the Admirals aren't truly invincible."

As she finished speaking, Nico Robin raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and gave Zane a tearful smile.

Although there were still tear stains, the smile on Nico Robin's face at that moment clearly revealed her happiness.

The nightmare she once thought was invincible has now been defeated by the captain she respects. This exhilarating feat feels like a dream to Nico Robin.

It was precisely because she was so excited and happy that she couldn't help but approach Zain.

"There's no such thing as invincibility in this world. Even a Marine Admiral is just a slightly stronger person. There's no need to be too afraid. Besides, your captain here isn't someone to be trifled with either. From now on, you can stay by my side with peace of mind. I guarantee no one can take you away." Zane sat with his legs crossed, casually resting his arms on the armrests.

One of the main reasons he didn't force Kuzan to stay was that he knew very well that, given his own growth rate, surpassing him was only a matter of time.

At that time, he can deal with the other party however he wants.
