Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Ignoring his boss's new request, Robin ran towards the golden bell the moment he landed.

In the decade or so since escaping O'Hara.

Robin went through countless hardships, but only saw one piece of the Poneglyph.

But that was several years ago...

After Robin left the West Blue and entered the Grand Line.

Crocodile learned that she possessed the ability to decipher historical texts, so he recruited her into his ranks.

However, Crocodile did not provide Robin with the Ancient History Texts...

According to Crocodile, there is definitely a hidden Poneglyph in Alabasta.

The Neferutari family, the royal family of Alabasta, has guarded the Poneglyph for generations.

To obtain that historical text, we must plan carefully and proceed gradually.

He fought off pirates as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and became a hero of Alabasta.

At the same time, he secretly instigated chaos in the country, leading to the downfall of the king;

Finally, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he seized the throne and became the new king of Alabasta!

Robin admits that Crocodile's "plan to steal the country" is very detailed and comprehensive.

however.

This "plan to steal the country" had not yet been fully launched.

Then the white dragon arrived...

Robin ultimately did not get to witness the Poneglyph that the Alabasta royal family had guarded for generations, which was in Crocodile's mouth.

She thought she would miss a rare opportunity to access the historical text.

Unexpectedly, a golden bell actually exists on the Sky Island!

This is a piece of ancient historical text!

Robin walked firmly to the front of the Golden Bell.

Beneath the base of the Golden Bell stands a massive stone monument, imbued with the weight of time.

This is the original historical text!

Robin unleashes the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, gently brushing away the thick moss covering the Poneglyphs.

The ancient historical texts revealed their true form before her.

Robin recalled how to read ancient texts and began reading the contents of the ancient historical records word by word.

"An ancient weapon bearing the name of a god, the location of Poseidon, the sea god..."

"…| Hidden in the deepest part of the ocean, ten thousand meters below the surface, lies Fishman Island…"

Ancient weapon, Poseidon, the sea god!

As Robin gazed at the text recorded on the ancient historical text before her, her pupils instantly contracted to a single point.

This ancient historical text located on the sky island actually records important information about ancient weapons!

And it's not even the [Pluto] that Crocodile had been pursuing.

It is another ancient weapon that also possesses the title of "god" - [Poseidon]!

Robin imprinted the information recorded in the ancient historical texts deep into his mind.

Just then, Ian's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"So, are you satisfied with this ancient historical text?"

"Satisfied? Of course I'm satisfied!"

Robin was startled and turned to look at Ian, who had appeared beside her at some point.

"Boss, is this why you brought me to Sky Island?"

"Yes."

Ian stared at the ancient historical text before him, oblivious to the change in Robin's expression beside him.

The moment the word "yes" came out of Ian's mouth.

The brilliance hidden deep in Robin's eyes dimmed considerably in an instant.

So it turns out that the White Dragon, like the Sand Crocodile, was only after my "knowledge," and the legendary "Ancient Weapon"...

But Ian hadn't finished speaking. He stared at the ancient historical text in front of him and said to himself.

"To be honest, I wasn't planning on recruiting you, Nicole Robin."

I don't care about the history of this world either.

(Regarding Zhao's) "What 'blank century,' what 'great kingdom,' what 'the D clan,' what 'ancient weapon'..."

"This history has no dates; on each page, written crookedly, are the words 'God saves the world.'"

"The more you learn about history, the more disgusting it becomes."

"The so-called ancient history is really just two words written between the lines—"

"Nika!"

When he said the last two words, Ian seemed to grit his teeth.

He once naively believed that "the Pirate King is the freest man on this sea."

The results of it?

Ah.

Robin, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

She knew that her new boss possessed many secrets about the ocean.

For example, there's the "little secret of the sand crocodile" that she's never mentioned but has been secretly keeping an eye on.

For example… news she had never heard of about Haguwar D. Sauro's survival.

But no matter what...

This "Void Century", "Great Kingdom", "D Clan", "Ancient Weapons"...

There was even "Nika," someone she had never heard of before...

These ancient secrets.

Let alone Robin.

Even the other archaeologists at Ohara back then didn't study it to this extent!

Robin stared blankly at Ian.

Who exactly is the archaeologist?

Chapter 98 So, Nico Robin, do you like this 'gift'?

"Nico Robin!"

Ian suddenly turned his head and looked at Robin.

Do you believe in God?

"Reporting to the boss."

Robin was intimidated by the aura that Ian was exuding at this moment, and answered honestly.

"I don't believe in God."

If God truly exists in the world.

So why didn't the "gods" appear when she was living under someone else's roof and suffering all kinds of disdain?

Why didn't the "gods" appear when the navy massacred O'Hara and bombarded the refugee ships?

Why didn't the "gods" appear when she was wandering in the Western Sea, abandoned and betrayed by all sorts of people?

Nicole Robin doesn't believe in God!

"Very good, remember what you said today."

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

“I already have a complete idiot among my men who’s obsessed with ‘Nika,’ so don’t you dare follow that example.”

"Boss, that 'idiot' you mentioned..."

Robin recalled Edward Teach, whom she had just met and who had mysteriously disappeared, and asked cautiously.

"Could it be Mr. Edward?"

“Teach? No.”

Ian shook his head and said simply.

"He is a 'tyrant'."

Bartholomew the Bear?

Robin, who enjoys reading newspapers, immediately recalled the "tyrant's" real name and general appearance.

That man with the really cute bear ears?

Is he a follower and worshipper of that so-called "spirit Nika"?

It's hard to imagine that a man with such a terrifying title could be a believer in God...

Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but ask again.

"Boss, who is 'Nika'?"

"The sun god who saves people from suffering, the savior destined by heaven."

Ian praised her in an extremely sarcastic tone.

"The moment he awakened, the entire ocean called out his name—Nika!"

"sound……"

Robin pondered Ian's words for a moment, then shook his head and commented sharply.

"It's kind of ridiculous."

“Excellent, you have captured the essence of ‘Sun God Nika’.”

Ian was about to applaud Robin's words—and in fact, he did just that.

"If someone can fight in front of the enemy while laughing maniacally in front of the corpse of their friend, then that person is Nika!"

"Is this a god?"

Robin couldn't help but rub her arms. She briefly imagined the scene and immediately got goosebumps all over her body.

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Hahaha!"

Ian laughed.

This was the first time Robin had ever seen this man smile so happily.

“That’s right, Nikas are all crazy.”

Ian applauded Robin's speech again.

"And those who believe in Nika are all fools!"

Robin had a feeling that Ian's words were a bit too much.

Because the other party had just mentioned that the "tyrant" was a follower of Nika...

what?

Ian just said that the "Tyrant" is a complete idiot?
