Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Why would you want me to join you?

You don't understand me at all, do you?

"Besides, we are enemies."

Isn't that strange?

Luffy replied.

There's no reason.

"I just felt that you should be on my ship, so I wanted to keep you here."

Robin was stunned by Luffy's answer.

No reason?

It seems like it should be on this ship?

What kind of strange ideas are these?

Robin laughed again.

"You really are interesting, Mr. Luffy."

"But I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation."

"If that happens, Crocodile will consider me a traitor and kill me."

"If you want me to stay, rely on your own abilities!"

After saying that, Robin crossed his arms and made a peculiar gesture.

"The second flower blooms!"

With a soft shout, everyone on the ship saw two arms suddenly grow from Luffy's back, grabbing his head tightly from behind and pulling it backward as if to strangle him.

"What...what is this?"

"Devil fruit?"

"What a strange ability! Hands actually grew out of my body."

Robin looked at Luffy, whose neck was about to be snapped backward, smiled slightly, and spoke.

"With strength like that, you can't keep me here, Captain Luffy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Robin's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

To her disbelief, Luffy's neck, which she had been tightly gripping, suddenly stretched out and broke free from her grasp.

Then, they spiraled up to the second floor and wrapped her up like a rice dumpling.

Then, Luffy leaned close to Robin, looked at her, and smiled.

"Looks like I'm your nemesis!"

"Your abilities are completely useless to me."

"So? Do you want to continue?"

Robin was sweating profusely; she truly hadn't expected Luffy's abilities to be like this.

Her main attack method is to break people's joints, but Luffy is a rubber man, so twisting his head ten times won't do any good.

"call..."

Robin sighed, feeling helpless, and looked at Luffy.

"It looks like I'll have no choice but to stay here."

Luffy was delighted to hear this and immediately released her.

Then he looked at Robin and asked.

What's your real name?

Robin sensed no malice from Luffy; in fact, she felt that he trusted her and regarded her as a partner.

This strange feeling gave Robin an inexplicable trust in Luffy, and she spoke up.

"Nico Robin!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy suddenly roared on the deck.

"Let's have a feast, everyone!"

"Welcome Vivi and Robin to our team!"

Just as Luffy finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Gah!"

Turning his head, he saw Vivi's mount and pet Karu looking at him, as if to say, "Forget about it."

Luffy smiled and then added a sentence.

"And Karu too!"

"Gah!"

Karu called out again, a look of joy in his eyes.

"Luffy, didn't you just attend a banquet?"

Nami said helplessly.

"That's different. This time it's to welcome the new members, so of course we're having a banquet."

Luffy explained.

"Yes, yes, yes! Who told you to be the captain?!"

Nami responded.

Then, the rest of the Straw Hat crew went to prepare for the banquet.

Weiwei watched all this with worry and helplessness in her eyes, and thought to herself...

Is now the time to hold a banquet?

Robin, on the other hand, kept curiously observing Luffy and the pirate crew, her interest growing stronger with each passing moment.

"What a strange bunch of people!"

...

As the sun rises in the east, it paints the distant horizon where the sea meets the sky a deep red.

On the shimmering sea, a ram-headed sailing ship slowly sails towards the rising sun.

On the deck, a bunch of people were lying haphazardly, snoring incessantly.

The scattered plates and glasses around the room indicated that a joyful and pleasant moment had recently taken place here.

"Whoa! Sea King, take this punch from the brave warrior of the sea, Usopp!"

Usopp suddenly sat up in his sleep, punched the air, and then lay down again.

"Oh! Beautiful lady, don't leave me, let's stay together like this forever!"

Sanji looked blissful, wiggling his body while hugging a wooden bucket.

Luffy, on the other hand, had drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and kept shouting incoherently.

"Meat...meat..."

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.

Weiwei stood on the second floor, looking at the group of people on the deck below, her expression complicated.

"What an interesting group of people!"

"Is that right, Princess Vivi?"

A voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Weiwei turned her head sharply, a look of anger flashing in her eyes.

"Ms. All Sunday!"

She said sternly.

"Don't come near me!"

Even if Luffy and his crew accept you, I will never forgive you.

"You killed Icarus, and Alabasta is ruined because of you and Crocodile..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Weiwei's eyes again, and she clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with hatred.

Robin sat on the railing, legs crossed, chin in hand, gazing at the distant red sun, and said leisurely.

"Mr. 8 is still alive!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Vivi suddenly paused, stopped crying, and looked at Robin with a puzzled expression.

Then he questioned her again.

"You're not kidding me, are you? I clearly saw his ship explode in the sea."

Robin turned his head and met Vivi's angry eyes, and said.

"I'm not interested in killing you."

"Besides, I didn't receive any orders to kill you this time; I came here on my own initiative."

Vivi was puzzled.

"Why? Then why did you blow up his ship?"

Robin looked at the rising sun again and said calmly.

"Princess Vivi, you are too naive."

“If Mr. 8 were to go back so obviously by himself, he would definitely die on the way.”

"I just wanted him to die early to deter the other Baroque Workshop staff from pursuing him."

Vivi was taken aback, looked at Robin with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"Why? Why did you do this?"

"Didn't you want Alabasta to perish? Why are you helping us?"

"Back then... we only discovered Mr. 0's true identity was Crocodile because we were following you."

"You deliberately let us know, didn't you?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Faced with Vivi's questioning, Robin simply gazed at the sea and said with a hint of bewilderment.

"I do not know either!"

Why would I help you?

"Maybe... they want to see if all this hard work and dedication can change anything?"

"That's probably... how it is!"

For Robin, life was always a life on the run.

Therefore, she was very confused about the future.

Sometimes she doesn't even know why she does the things she does.

I simply follow my heart.

Vivi looked at Robin with tears in her eyes, and she saw the confusion in his eyes.

For a moment, her hatred for Robin lessened slightly.

...

"Puff puff puff..."

"Puff puff puff..."
