Chapter 268
On the surface of the sea, everyone was shocked when they saw the appearance of Robin. But compared to the two, Lin Tian gradually calmed down after experiencing a brief shock, but revealed an indescribable smile.
When the two saw Nico Robin’s appearance, their faces were covered with fear, and the tremors all over their bodies became more violent, as if they had already seen death.
Tremblingly asked: “Miss All Sunday, are you here to solve us on the order of boss because of our failure?”
Although the Baroque Works Organization is very mysterious, even the members in it are not necessarily allies of each other as Lin Tian had expected.
Although, they have never seen the legendary president, but they have been an errand under the mysterious president for a long time, and they understand clearly about his general rules of conduct.
The president is very strict with his subordinates. Even if the task is completed, but the president is still not satisfied, he will give extremely severe punishment.
If your mission fails, it will be more serious, and it will be your life that is lost.
“Is it their turn today?”
Nico Robin slowly sat up, resting her chin with one hand, and an extremely warm smile appeared on her face. “Relax, I didn’t come here for you two. You two might have failed the mission, but in the hands of the president, even if the president wants to kill the two of you, he would not send me here.”
Upon hearing this, the two sighed in relief, although they were not sure what the president would do in the future, but at least they’re not dead now.
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but twitched his mouth, and his heart suddenly became depressed. Could it be that because he had not been on the Grand Line for half a year, his reputation had dropped so much, that these two was even more scared for Crocodile?
He couldn’t help but say: “You two seem to have forgotten, but your life is in my hands.”
In fact, Lin Tian didn’t think about it too much. Only the real powerhouses of the Grand Line would understand the things Lin Tian did.
How could a small trash fish like Mr.5 would truly understand the state of the matter? They just know that Lin Tian’s reputation is nothing more than a folk circus.
Either through the newspapers, most of them are just hearsay.
As for Crocodile, although they did not know his identity, they were often in contact with him.
What……
Hearing this devil calmly threatened their lives, Mr.5’s hands and feet instantly chilled. He almost forgot, there was a fiend who was more dangerous than the president watching from behind.
“Ha ha ha…” Robin suddenly laughed while resting her chin on her hand. The beautiful face and the noble qualities exuding from the whole body really complemented each other and added to its charm. “When did the famous killer Lin Tian actually care about such puny people?”
Hey…… With a slight sigh, Lin Tian waved his hands, and said helplessly: “This is different from the past. I used to be a Vice Admiral with the World Government behind me. Now I’ve offended the World Government and being hunted down by the World Government. It cannot be compared with the past. However, since these two are small characters, then you will do, Nico Robin, who has been famous more than 20 years ago.”
Regarding Lin Tian’s words, Nico Robin didn’t have any extra expressions on her face, still supporting her chin with one hand, with a faint smile on her face.
“Oh, my. But how powerful are you doesn’t reflect your reputation on the Grand Line nor the bounty of one billion Berry nor the target of the World Nobles.”
Since the farewell on Secon Island that year, it can be said that Lin Tian and Robin have officially started to be together, especially the gift Lin Tian gave her at that time. To a certain extent, the relationship of the two had stepped up.
In the following years, due to the Poneglyph and other reasons, the two have a deep understanding of each other, and they are very familiar with each other in terms of temper and personality. Partners for nearly ten years are not in vain.
“Nico Robin”, Mr.5 listened quietly to the two opponents and whispered: “It seems that Miss All Sunday’s real name is Nico Robin.”
The woman also nodded gently and agreed: “Moreover, from this situation, this Nico Robin and the Killing God Lin Tian are very familiar to each other, but I haven’t heard of any famous deeds related to the name Nico Robin.”
After scanning carefully, Nico Robin had indeed changed a lot compared with the past, but the noble temperament and beauty that radiated from her whole body still remained.
Pursing his lips, Lin Tian smiled and said, “Robin, I haven’t heard from you for more than a year, but I didn’t expect you to go to work under that Crocodile.”
After a pause, Robin said silently: “I’m just a widowed person wandering alone. Dreams are my only living belief. If I can realize my dreams, I will go wherever I go.”
Hehehe… Lin Tian suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and said in a strange tone: “Didn’t I tell you? Just stay with me. There should be no one but me in the world who can realize your dream.”
Suddenly speaking such words, Robin’s face which was always smiling, has a very obvious blush on the wheat-colored skin. She can’t help but remember. It messed with Robin’s heart.
It took more than ten seconds before she calmed down, and the blush on her face began to disappear, but there was still no previous calmness in her behavior.
Then she said: “Lin Tian, I have already stated my answer earlier. We still don’t need to say about this matter. We are just normal partners.”
“Hey…” Lin Tian scratched his head helplessly. “Robin, why do you have to lie to me with the same reason every time.”
After trying to calm herself to the hardest, Robin’s heart calmed down and said blankly: “That is not a lie. I am just telling a fact. Nothing will change in the future.”
Hearing what she said, Lin Tian knew that he shouldn’t keep talking. Too much conversation was not good for this matter. Anyway, he was not in a hurry.
He helplessly said: “From the direction you just came, you must have seen them.”
“Yeah”, Robin answered ambiguously. The two people have worked together so many times, that they didn’t need to say much.
Robin could understand what it meant without Lin Tian to elaborate. Her face was still covered with a faint smile, and she said with great interest.
“They are all very interesting. The captain is not like any other captains I have seen, and the crew is not like any normal crew. The Straw Hat Luffy is especially very interesting. It really fits your style on that kind of ship.”
Lin Tian smiled. His figure flashed, and he reappeared next to Robin. Not minding politeness, he sat down directly next to her, as if he were not an outsider.
“Of course, our captain is going to be the Pirate King. We all don’t have the same goal on board. We all have our own ambitions, not as a whole. But in fact, everyone is working hard in secret to realize the captain’s dream.”
“Ambition, dream, giggle…” Robin covered her mouth and chuckled for some reason, “I didn’t expect that kind of thing would ever come out of your mouth.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback, with a wry smile on his face, “Is there anyone else who has ever described me that way? Besides, why can’t I say this?”
After gently pouring a cup of coffee, Robin said calmly: “It’s just that I feel that you have changed a lot from the past. Your appearance might have not changed, but your heart has changed.”
“No, my heart has not changed, but my position has changed. Of course, some things have to change, but some things have not changed.” Lin Tian showed a wicked smile on his face and stared at Robin closely.
As if turning a blind eye, Robin gently placed the coffee cup, took a sip of her own cup, and said: “This time, I joined the Baroque Works mainly for the whereabouts of a piece of Poneglyph.”
Lin Tian was about to put the coffee to his mouth, and his face showed a hint of surprise. He didn’t expect that the Crocodile was actually going after the Poneglyph. It seems that he also knows a lot of things.
After taking a sip, Lin Tian asked, “Do you know what is recorded in the Poneglyph this time?”
“Yes, the whereabouts of Pluton of the Ancient Weapons. If there are no mistakes, it’s on the piece of Poneglyph.”
In an instant, Lin Tian’s face was full of surprises. He had found a lot of Poneglyph in his lifetime, but there were only a few, still intermittent, and sometimes, he could not see anything, it was of no particular use.
Unexpectedly, what he encountered this time was the Poneglyph about Pluton, which was one of the three mysterious weapons capable of destroying the world. The legendary Pluton is a ship that can destroy an island with a single shot.
TL note: While Pluton has yet to appear in the story, it has been referred to as an ancient ship capable of massive damage and destruction. It was built on the island of Water 7 sometime during the Void Century, and the shipwrights kept the blueprints as a safety measure. In the event that Pluton fell into the wrong hands, another one can be built to fight the existing one. Fortunately, the ship was lost to history before that could happen. The blueprints were passed down through the generations, and ten years prior to the main storyline were held by the fish-man carpenter, Tom, of Tom’s Workers.
After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Tian said, “Let’s talk about it. What to do and where to go. Just talk, I’m already yours anyway.”
Robin has become accustomed to Lin Tian’s verocity, and her expression doesn’t fluctuate much. She gently put down the coffee cup in her hand and looked at Lin Tian with a faint smile.
Lin Tian’s hair immediately became straight. There was a bad premonition in his heart. Before a second had passed, Lin Tian’s premonition had become reality.
More than a dozen hands emerged from various places, grabbing Lin Tian tightly, and then throwing Lin Tian down.
When he fell on the boat, Lin Tian shouted to Robin, who was already in the background, “Nico Robin, you actually threw me down… Just you wait next time.”
However, the only thing left for Lin Tian was Robin’s slender hand swaying goodbye to Lin Tian.
Seeing Robin’s back disappear, Lin Tian retracted his gaze and slowly put his right hand on the hilt of the Chasing Wind behind him, with blood flashing in his eyes.
