The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

But since she was in front of Olvia, she still appeared serious on the surface and said:

"It is my honor to serve Your Highness!"

As for how much of what she said was true or false, perhaps even Gion herself didn't realize it.

On the other side, Olvia also looked at Luther with a complicated expression, not understanding why Luther would choose her.

Robin's actions, however, were somewhat unexpected by the other two:

"Bad uncle, if you ever have no one to play with, Robin will play with you!"

Even Luther was somewhat surprised to hear this naive yet unusually firm statement.

Seeing Robin's genuine expression, Luther roughly understood.

People with tragic pasts are always drawn to each other.

Robin's childhood was exceptionally tragic because Olvia was not around.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Robin dared to say such a thing.

"Robin, you'll have to stay by my side from now on."

Luther smiled and bent down to pat Robin's little head.

"Uh-huh!"

Robin nodded heavily a few times, smiled, and looked at Luther, as if they had made a promise to each other.

Sensing Robin's emotions, Luther laughed and lifted the little guy up, placing him on his shoulder.

"From today onwards, Robin belongs to the Don Quixote family, and no one but me can bully her!"

He could tell that Robin genuinely thought that way.

Faced with such sincerity, he doesn't need to think from a self-interested perspective; treating it with sincerity is the best way to reciprocate.

"Your Highness, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Olvia's expression was somewhat complicated.

Although Luther recounts the many misfortunes that befell the Don Quixote family.

However, it is undeniable that the Don Quixote family is one of the world's top families.

Even if Robin only enjoys the treatment of an unofficial staff member, it is still a million times better than before.

“This is a special treatment I’m giving Robin. If Olvia doesn’t mind, I can do the same,” Luther said with a smile.

"Your Highness, I think I'll pass. Thank you for your kind offer."

Although Olvia said that, her expression softened considerably.

Luther remained noncommittal; Olvia was merely an add-on.

However, there are some things he still needs to clarify:

“Robin has been taken into my family, and the other families won’t make things difficult for him, but your identity still needs to be changed.”

What do you need me to do?

Olvia remained unfazed; she had known this was a problem all along.

From Luther's story, we can see that Luther was not truly all-powerful.

At the very least, her existence is likely to lead to some negative consequences.

She believes this was also the reason for Luther's previous hesitation; allowing Robin to join the Don Quixote Family may have already put considerable pressure on Luther.

"Two choices. First, you can wear a mask and become my personal CP0, and I will declare to the outside world that you are dead. Second, you can have the Heavenly Dragon hoofprint engraved on you, and no one will make things difficult for you, nor will I ask you to do anything."

Luther held up two fingers, but what he said made everyone else present change color slightly.

Neither option sounds good.

One must abandon their former identity, while the other must live as a slave.

Only those who are valued by the Celestial Dragons and made into slaves will be marked with the Celestial Dragon hoofprint, symbolizing items that belong exclusively to the Celestial Dragons.

"uncle..."

Robin looked at Luther pleadingly, feeling that Luther must have a better solution.

"Alright, Robin, don't make things difficult for His Highness."

After Luther finished speaking, Olvia smiled broadly.

She would not choose to become a slave unless absolutely necessary.

So there's only one option left.

But if it's just loyalty, there's nothing wrong with that. At least you can watch your daughter grow up and maybe even stay by her side to protect her and clear away any trouble that might arise.

As for her previous idea of ​​studying history... after the Buster Call of Ohara, she put it after her daughter.

If the opportunity arises in the future, she will explore it to some extent, but she has no intention of making it public.

Given the strength the World Government demonstrated during the Buster Call, making it public would be extremely foolish.

She was both afraid and curious about the social experiment Luther described.

Even though she could roughly predict the ending, perhaps she still hoped for a kind outcome...

Having figured all this out, Olvia chuckled softly, gently tousled her long white hair, and tossed all the white strands behind her.

Now that I've figured it out, there's nothing left to hesitate about.

She mimicked how others she had seen bow to the Celestial Dragons, slowly kneeling on one knee, raising her head, her expression becoming incredibly solemn:

"Your Highness Luther, out of my admiration for you, I, Nicole Olvia, am willing to abandon my past and become your exclusive CP0, to explore the myriad secrets of the world for you, to clear every stumbling block in your path, to shed my blood and sweat for you, to overcome all obstacles for you, and to fight for you until the last moment of my life..."

As Luther listened to Olvia's solemn oath, he went from being satisfied at the beginning to even being slightly surprised at the end.

As expected of a historian, his words always sound pleasant.

Gion's gentle expression turned serious.

Just by listening to the oath, she suddenly understood what it was about this woman that Luther had taken a liking to.

At least in terms of literary talent, she couldn't match him even if she studied for another 10 years.

Chapter 19 Heavenly Gold

"Get up, Olvia."

Luther personally helped Olvia up.

He had initially considered Olvia a bonus, but now he felt he had struck gold.

As his gaze swept across the room and landed on the three women, Luther couldn't help but smile slightly.

With just one trip to Ohara, the team he had hoped for was almost complete.

Gion will be his future security guarantee and strongest combat personnel. If she can obtain a powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, her strength will definitely leap to the level of a top-tier Vice Admiral.

In a few years, she will be able to overcome the hurdle of becoming a general.

Olvia and Robin, on the other hand, are his future clerical staff, and their roles are more like those of butlers.

Luther didn't require them to be very powerful, as long as they could provide feedback in areas such as intelligence, politics, and economics.

The path he is taking is not the adventure of a pirate; having only combat personnel is not enough.

"Olvia, Gion."

At Luther's stern greeting, the two curiously approached.

The fact that Luther took it so seriously, especially since Olvia had just been sworn in, clearly indicated that it was a very important matter.

Even Robin, sitting on Luther's shoulders, expressed her curiosity. Seeing everyone working so hard, she also wanted to contribute her own strength.

"Since you are all willing to trust me, there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Seeing Gion and Olvia nod, Luther continued:

"Let me first talk about the structure of this world. As you should know, the world can be roughly divided into four parts."

"First and foremost are the four seas, which are the largest but also the most stable. The most powerful forces here are the various member states, who are the gateways to the world government and the main source of the celestial gold."

"What is Heavenly Gold?" Robin asked curiously.

The Omniscient Tree provides very vague information about the Heavenly Gold.

"Golden Heaven..." Luther asked with a half-smile, "Olvia, Gion, what do you think?"

"I heard that the navy's budget is part of this?" Gion asked uncertainly.

Given her position, she wouldn't know much.

As for the rumors about paying tribute to the Celestial Dragons, she didn't really believe them.

On the contrary, she now believes that all Celestial Dragons are elites, and even those Celestial Dragons who commit evil deeds may have some extraordinary abilities.

What if they, like Luther, suddenly erupt into violence?

“As far as I know, the World Government and the Navy’s expenses are covered by this part, while the rest is pocketed by the Celestial Dragons,” Olvia said.

"Olvia's answer is closer."

Luther smiled slightly and explained to the group:

“The amount of gold in the sky is an enormous number every year. Even I don’t know the exact number, but it’s at least this much.”

As he spoke, he held up two fingers.

"20 billion? That much?" Robin exclaimed.

Tens of thousands of peles are a number she can't even imagine.

“It’s not 20 billion, Robin, it’s at least 2000 billion,” Olvia exclaimed.

Based on her understanding of world governments, she could roughly calculate the specific figures.

"Yes, at least 2000 billion per year."

Luther glanced at Olvia with admiration. He realized that Olvia was truly a treasure, only lacking someone to discover her.
