MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 55 Different Ways

In fact, Xie Wen was a little confused at the beginning. With Nicole Robin's ability, it was not that difficult to hide incognito. Or, to say the least, she could just disguise herself and change her identity. It’s also a very simple thing…

  After all, this is a magical world where you can hide yourself from many people just by wearing a fake beard.

 But Xie Wen soon figured out that it wasn’t that Robin couldn’t do this, but that she didn’t want to do it.

"...If Robin just wanted to avoid being hunted by CP agents and the Navy, she could have found a remote island to hide, but she has chosen to move among the major forces over the years, without even hiding her identity. , which shows that in addition to avoiding pursuit, she also has other needs."

Xie Wen stroked the two cats and explained to them patiently.

As for what the specific demand was, Xie Wen certainly knew it, but he couldn't say it directly in front of Robin, so he made a speculative look and said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe he wants to use those The forces seek revenge against the CP and the Navy, perhaps... because they want to complete O'Hara's unfinished business. In short, if they want Robin to hide obediently on our ship without attracting the attention of the World Government, she probably won't agree... I That’s right?”

"That's right." Robin didn't hide his purpose. "I want to inherit O'Hara's legacy and find and decipher all historical texts. This will definitely arouse the hostility of the world government, so I can't stay on your ship. …”

A firm but sad smile appeared on her face. She did not use her powers, but stretched out her original two arms and touched Keli and Sanji respectively. "I appreciate your kindness, but, I I don’t want you to be implicated by me and put in danger.”

Sanji-nya was relatively calm when it didn't involve Elma's big sister. Although he was a little reluctant, he still nodded silently.

 But Kelimiao is different. The little puppet has a relatively simple mind. She thinks Nico Robin is a good person, so she wants to protect her.

So, Keli Miao, who was shrinking in Xie Wen's arms, straightened up, stretched out her arms and began to pat Xie Wen's face with her little paws, and continued to ask without giving up: "There is no other way. Meow? Brother Xie Wen is the blue star meow!"

 Do you really think of the Blue Star as a universal wishing machine?

Xie Wen rolled his eyes, leaned back, avoided Kelimiao's little claws, and said: "Unless Robin is willing to give up interpreting the historical text for the time being, we will reconsider this matter when we have enough ability to protect her." matter."

 This was the bottom line for him to keep Robin on the ship, but he also knew that Robin would not agree to this condition.

Sure enough, Robin refused without hesitation: "It's impossible. Uncovering the buried history is the only meaning of my life in this world."

 “Ha!” Even though he had already guessed the other party’s choice, Xie Wen still couldn’t help laughing.

 In his opinion, all the scholars and archaeologists in O'Hara, including Nicole Robin, are all a bunch of deadheads, otherwise O'Hara would not have been destroyed by the Demon-Slaying Order.

Although it is regrettable that O'Hara was destroyed, a large part of the reason was caused by them. They knew clearly that the world government would not see this, and they did not have enough strength to fight against the world government, and they still desperately searched for history all over the world. text…

Even if they find a force that can protect them first, it would be better!

As a result, not only did the ambition go unfulfilled, but other residents on O'Hara Island also suffered, and the precious books and materials were burned to the ground.

Although Xie Wen also understands that they are worried that by joining other forces, they will become an accomplice of the other party's excavation of ancient weapons, but you can't save your own lives. Are you worried that you can't distinguish the priorities?

If restoring the historical truth is really so important, we should find a way to preserve ourselves. We want to fight against the largest force in the world, but also want to maintain our weak autonomy... How can it be so Good thing?

O'Hara's group of naive scholars really vividly interpreted the sayings such as "a scholar's rebellion will last three years" and "a scholar who is useless is a scholar."

"Why are you laughing?" Because Xie Wen's mockery was too obvious, Nicole Robin frowned sullenly.

"Of course I'm laughing at you, and the scholars at O'Hara." Xie Wen was not polite at all, and stated his opinions and evaluations of Robin and the others very directly.

After listening to Xie Wen's words, Robin pursed his lips tightly. Although he did not refute, his expression looked unconvinced, but it was also mixed with a little regret and sadness. I just say these guys are stupid...

Xie Wen curled his lips. People in the pirate world, at best, believe that dreams are king. At worst, they are a group of die-hard die-hards who don’t know how to adapt at all.

Those O'Hara scholars may not know what Xie Wen said, but in order not to tarnish their dreams and prevent their dreams from being mixed with factors such as the struggle for power and profit, they chose the most difficult path wholeheartedly. the way.

 And Nicole Robin, the only survivor of O'Hara, still has no intention of changing after experiencing these things.

 Hence, her partners can only be the Straw Hats who act recklessly and have no interest in ancient weapons...

Xie Wen sighed, shook his head, and said: "My words may be a bit harsh, but if you really want to dig out the hidden historical truth alive, then the first thing you have to do is to ensure your own life safety. After all, , you are the only one who can decipher ancient texts."

In fact, if the scholars of O'Hara ignored it, they could have chosen to hand over the dictionary for translating ancient texts to the big pirates in the New World, or even simply spread it to all parts of the world.

In this way, anyone who is ambitious about the Great Secret Treasure will learn the translation of ancient texts. By then, the World Government will be too busy dealing with these ambitious people and will not have time to take care of the scholars in O'Hara.

It’s just that if you do this, far more people will die than those on O’Hara Island, so from this perspective, the stubbornness of that group of scholars is actually a good thing.

Nicole Robin naturally knew that Xie Wen's words were actually thinking about herself. However, the long years of escape and a future with almost no hope had gradually caused her to develop some self-destructive tendencies. She suppressed "Ra's legacy" and didn't show it much. It wasn't until she joined the Straw Hat Pirates and gained hope and bonds that her desire to survive gradually recovered.

At this time, Robin did not see much hope from Xie Wen and the others, so she continued to remain silent, obviously not intending to listen to the advice.

After Xie Wen gave some advice, he had no intention of continuing. He was not good at these things either.

"Sister Robin really can't stay, meow?" Keli Meow put her paws on Xie Wen's arm and looked pitifully at Nicole Robin opposite, "Is that historical text really that important, meow? "

"Sorry, Kelly." Robin did not use her powers this time, but leaned over and rubbed her little head, "This is a dream shared by me, my mother, and the scholars at O'Hara. , it’s impossible for me to give up.”

"Okay then..." Kelimiao drooped her ears and listlessly accepted the fact that Robin was leaving, but she soon cheered up again, "Then Keli, during this time, do more for Sister Robin. A bomb for self-defense, meow!"

　　　…”

Huh? Suddenly I'm a little worried about the future sand crocodile. What's going on?

I’m actually not very interested in tricking the original characters onto the ship. Of course, if you really want to see it, you can arrange it later, but at least now Robin will not stay on the ship.

As mentioned in the article, the only people who can truly make Robin regard her as a companion are Luffy's group of people who are willing to risk their lives to protect her regardless of the consequences. Otherwise, even if you are strong enough to protect her, you will not be able to do anything to her. It's just a more useful shield.

Robin has been on the run since she was 8 years old and has been on the run for 20 years. She is not someone who can be easily trusted by just saying a few truths and empty words. Moreover, she has her own "dream", and the world of pirates It is a place where "dreams" are greater than anything else, so the protagonist's code of conduct conflicts with her from the beginning.

If the cats provoke the Celestial Dragons in the future, and Xie Wen cannot coexist peacefully with the navy, then she will not be much, but at least for now, the two sides are not on the same side.

　　…

Last night I suddenly received a box of chocolates by express delivery. After asking around, I didn’t know who sent it...
