"Are you... now with Straw Hat Luffy?!"

Robin looked at Crocodile and said coldly.

"Didn't you say you've never trusted me?"

"So, you have no right to accuse me of betrayal, do you?"

Crocodile, upon hearing this, not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed.

"Guhahahaha..."

“You’re right, Nico Robin!”

"We are both people who don't trust anyone, so neither of us has the right to accuse the other of betrayal!"

As he spoke, Crocodile suddenly ignored Robin and looked at Luffy, saying with a cold smile.

"You know him, Straw Hat Boy?"

"This woman has been a wanted criminal by the world's governments since she was eight years old."

"From that time on, she relied on joining other people's pirate crews to survive."

Upon hearing Crocodile suddenly speak these words, Robin 4.1's pupils constricted, and she roared with all her might.

"Shut up!"

Seeing Robin's angry and panicked expression, Crocodile's smile only deepened, and he continued speaking with great interest.

"This woman has joined countless pirate crews."

"And the ultimate fate of every pirate crew is destruction."

Robin's eyes were now completely filled with rage, and he roared with extreme fury, his mouth agape.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?!"

As she spoke, Robin picked up the water and dagger again, preparing to charge at Crocodile.

However, this time, Luffy once again spoke up to stop Robin.

"Stop, Robin!"

"Let him say it!"

Robin stared blankly at Luffy with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with reluctance and despair.

She knew that if Luffy knew about her past, she would be cut off from his pirate crew.

That's why they're working so hard to stop Crocodile.

She really liked the atmosphere of Luffy's pirate crew and enjoyed the feeling of being trusted.

So... she doesn't want to lose it.

But now... she was stopped by Luffy's voice.

This completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Robin's heart.

Despair filled her eyes, her gaze was vacant, and she collapsed to the ground, completely powerless.

In an instant, she seemed to have lost all hope in this world.

She lived her life searching for true history and always sought a trustworthy partner.

This time, however, she approached Crocodile with high hopes.

I thought this was the closest I'd ever come to truly knowing history, but the stone only contained information about Hades.

If Robin hadn't met Luffy and his crew, she might have lost all will to live the moment she saw that rock.

However, Crocodile has now extinguished her last shred of hope that kept her alive.

Seeing Robin's desperate, helpless, and hopeless state, Crocodile burst into laughter.

"Guhahahaha..."

"Straw Hat Boy, do you know why every pirate crew that accepts this woman ends up destroyed?"

"That's because...she's a...demon!"

"She survived those pirate crews by betraying them time and time again."

"And those pirate crews that she betrayed all ultimately met their demise without exception."

"This woman... will absolutely lead your pirate crew to destruction!"

"Anyone who accepts this woman... will ultimately meet the same fate: death!"

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile laughed loudly, his eyes filled with the pleasure of crushing Robin's hope.

This gave him more pleasure than killing Robin with his own hands.

As Robin listened to Crocodile's words and his laughter, she completely lost all hope of living.

She has been pursuing something since she was eight years old, but it has never come true.

They lived a life of constant fear, barely surviving amidst betrayal and being betrayed.

She was tired of living like this.

She no longer had any desire to live.

Just die here...!

Robin made this decision in despair.

She slowly tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand...

However, at that moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

"so what?"

Crocodile paused, stopped laughing, and looked at Luffy, who had said those words, with a puzzled expression.

"What did you say?"

Robin also looked puzzled, her hand holding the knife paused in mid-air, and she turned to look at Luffy.

Then she saw Luffy's face darken as he spoke angrily, word by word.

"I said..."

"What was Robin like in the past...?"

"What's it to me?!"

For a moment, both Robin and Crocodile were stunned.

Crocodile looked at Luffy with a confused expression and said...

"Straw Hat!"

Didn't you hear what I said?

"This woman..."

Crocodile was interrupted by Luffy halfway through his sentence.

24 Luffy ignored Crocodile and called out to Robin.

"Robin!"

Robin stared blankly at Luffy upon hearing this, her eyes filled with tears.

Then she heard Luffy speak seriously.

I don't care what you were like before!

"Since I said I would let you join my ship, then you are our partner."

"We will trust you unconditionally."

"so..."

Luffy paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Robin, whose eyes were now blurred with tears, and said angrily.

"Give me your life!!!"

Don't do such a stupid thing!!!

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Robin's body trembled uncontrollably, and even her heart seemed to tremble.

Tears welled up in my eyes instantly.

She never imagined that Luffy would disregard her past and trust her completely.

They might even say things like, "I'd give my life to him."

At that moment, she deeply understood what it felt like to be trusted!

It was at this moment that she suddenly felt a sense of hope and motivation to live.

when!

With a crisp sound, the knife in Robin's hand fell to the ground.

In an instant, she could no longer control herself, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes, her body trembling violently from crying.

Through her teary eyes, she watched Luffy's figure, her heart filled with immense emotion and excitement, yet she couldn't utter a word, only murmuring Luffy's name.

"Luffy..."

Upon seeing this, Crocodile's expression suddenly turned cold.

Hearing Luffy talking about trust here made him extremely unhappy.

He frowned, his eyes filled with disdain, and sneered.

"Hmph! Utterly boring!"

"Anyone who talks a lot about trust... is a hopeless idiot!"

Unable to find the thrill of watching others despair with Robin, Crocodile turned his attention to Vivi, who was currently tending to Cobra's wounds.

He noticed Vivi the moment Luffy appeared.

At that time, he had doubts in his mind.

At that time, however, he was engrossed in watching Robin's despair.

Now that Robin has emerged from despair, he has set his sights on Vivi.

Crocodile looked at Vivi with disdain in his eyes and a smile on his lips, and said in a cold voice.

"That's exactly what I was going to ask you, Princess Vivi!"

"Why did you come here with Straw Hat Boy instead of stopping the war?"

"And I even repeatedly told Mr. 1 and his men to keep a close watch on you and prevent you from entering Albana!"

"If you show up here, then all my plans will have been for nothing?"

Despite saying this, Crocodile did not show any disappointment on his face. Instead, his smile deepened as he spoke each word clearly.

"Princess Vivi, do you also have given up hope of stopping this war?!"

“Those rebels are utterly foolish. They get easily provoked and, in a fit of rage, launch an attack on the royal palace.”

"The royal army was leaderless and could not even fight without the king. The rebel army easily captured the town."

"Between these two teams, stopping either one seems like a hopeless endeavor!"

"Guhahahaha..."

While Crocodile was laughing, Vivi just gritted her teeth angrily and tended to Cobra's wounds; this was her biggest concern at the moment.

At that moment, Luffy casually said something.

"The war is over!"

Upon hearing this, not only Crocodile, but also the citizens of Rapeseed Flower who were watching the live broadcast were all stunned for a moment.
