Chapter 102
Why is Nico Robin appearing there?!
Crocodile's eyes suddenly shrink.
At the same time, people around the world who are watching the live broadcast also see the woman appearing in the QnA Live Broadcast room.
They vaguely feel that her face is familiar, but they can't recall who she is at the moment.
However, at the Marineford, when someone like Sengoku, Aokiji, and Akainu see Robin's face, their face change.
Others may not recognize her, but they cannot forget her. This is Nico Robin, the woman with a 79 million berry bounty on her head, wanted by them personally.
When Nico Robin was first wanted, she was only eight years old. Now, twenty years have passed, and the girl who was once eight years old is now twenty-eight.
In the live broadcast, besides Nico Robin, there is Luke. Could it be that Nico Robin is the only participant in this QnA show?
What kind of questions does Luke have for her this time?
Sengoku's face darkens, but he doesn't notice that Aokiji, who is standing beside him, has a slight change in expression upon seeing Robin. He has a sense of foreboding.
As for Akainu, his face is cold. Allowing that brat to escape back then was a major failure in his life.
At the same time, in the East Blue, Dragon, who returned to his stronghold after parting ways with Luffy, also sees Robin. The Revolutionary Army had been searching for this flame of revolution, and he unexpectedly saw here there.
At this moment, Nico Robin, who has been hiding and concealing her identity, unexpectedly appears openly in front of people from all over the world in a way she couldn't have imagined before.
"To all the viewers around the world, hello everyone. It has been a long time since we last met for the QnA Live Broadcast.
This time, our contestant for the QnA Live Broadcast is the lady in front of me. I believe everyone is not unfamiliar with her. She is Nico Robin, who gained the title of Devil Child and had a bounty of 79 million berries placed on her by the Marines when she was only eight years old.
"Welcome to you." Luke smiles and nods at Robin.
Robin immediately returns the gesture politely, although she has no idea how she ended up in this place and what this place is.
But she knows that the man in front of her is not an ordinary person. He is even more dangerous and crazy than her current boss, Crocodile.
This man caused trouble in Mariejois not long ago, even making the Five Elders temporarily back down in front of him.
Such a man must not be provoked. Even the World Government can't take handle him. To provoke him would mean death.
However, she now understands her situation.
She has entered the QnA Live Broadcast, and now she is being watched by people from all over the world.
At the thought of her wanted status being exposed to the public, even Robin, who has been through countless storms, can't help but feel a slight nervousness and insecure.
But soon, she realizes that this is an opportunity.
Because every time during the QnA Live Broadcast, Luke would give many magical reward.
In the previous QnA, Luke give out life potions, constitution potions, spiritual potions, and healing potions.
He even brought people back from the dead.
Bringing the dead back to life... Robin suddenly feels a bit excited. Many faces flash through her mind, including those who took care of her in Ohara, like Dr. Clover and the scholars, her mother Olvia, and even her childhood giant friend, Vice Admiral Saul of the Marines.
If she could bring them back to life, then she wouldn't be alone anymore.
Ever since Ohara was destroyed and Robin was targeted by the World Government, she has been wandering alone, trying to survive while evading the enemies attracted by her bounty.
Until now, she has been on her own, without any reliable companions. Even her current boss, Crocodile, only uses her for his own gain.
She is incredibly lonely.
Luke notices a flicker of loneliness on Robin's face, and he recognizes the familiar emotion—loneliness.
He has experienced it himself. Suddenly appearing in this place fiction place, sealed away, alone and left to amuse himself, only observing the world of pirates and participating in QnA shows to find some entertainment.
But Luke quickly suppresses his emotions and returns to the main topic. It's time for the QnA Live Broadcast, and there are so many viewers around the world watching. He cannot disappoint the audience.
"Our contestant for this round is Nico Robin. I wonder what interesting Question that will be asked? If you want to know the answers, don't miss the upcoming QnA show. Now I announce that the QnA Live Broadcast officially begins."
Luke looks at Robin and says, "There will be a total of ten questions in this QnA. Based on the number of correct answers, you will receive corresponding rewards. Now, let's start with the first question. 1st Question: Why is Nico Robin referred to as the Devil's Child? One minute on the clock, and the timer starts."
Upon hearing the question posed by Luke, Robin hasn't answered yet, but Crocodile, who is far away in Alabasta, breathes a sigh of relief.
He was worried that Luke might ask questions related to his activities in Alabasta, exposing all the effort he had put in for several years.
His concern is not yet been dealt with. In fact, many people have noticed certain patterns after analyzing the previous QnA shows.
For example, the questions asked by Luke are closely related to the QnA participants themselves.
In the first QnA, the Whitebeard Pirates were asked questions closely related to Ace and the Summit War they would participate in.
In the second QnA, the questions for the Straw Hat Pirates, Captain Nezumi, and the Arlong Pirate were directly related to Luffy, Arlong respectively.
The later QnA featuring the Five Elder exposed the secrets of the World Government and Imu.
It's evident that the questions are closely tied to the QnA participants.
Furthermore, upon closer analysis, some of these questions are about the participants' past experiences, while others maybe their future events...
Answering questions about past experiences is relatively straightforward and guarantees points. It seems that Luke's goal with these questions is to expose certain things.
However, questions about the future require thought and deduction. They are relatively difficult but provide an opportunity for the entire world to learn about upcoming events.
So when Crocodile sees Robin appearing on the QnA Live Broadcast, he becomes anxious.
If the questions are related to Robin, it's possible that his own activities might be included in the questions as well.
If he's exposed during the QnA Live Broadcast, all the effort he has put in over the years would be in vain.
Crocodile nervously watches the live broadcast, praying that no questions related to him will be asked.
After the first question is revealed, he breathes a slight sigh of relief since it's unrelated to him. However, he still can't completely relax because there are nine more questions to come... nine questions... Crocodile feels his heart pounding.
At this moment, Crocodile suddenly realizes that his current situation is somewhat similar to the individuals in the previous QnA shows. The like of Captain Nezumi or Sengoku
He used to smirk while watching those individuals in the QnA Live Broadcast, but he didn't expect it would be his turn so soon.
He hopes that he won't end up like those two guys.
No way... Crocodile nervously looks at the live broadcast.
...
Meanwhile, the members of the Marine frown upon hearing Luke's question. What is Luke trying to do?
What's the purpose of asking Nico Robin this question at this moment?
Suddenly, they remember Nico Robin's identity and the event that led to her being wanted.
Instantly, the expression on their faces turns grim. This question is related to the information that the World Government has been concealing, the information that directly led to the destruction of Ohara. At that time, almost no one survived the incident, except for Nico Robin, the person currently on the live broadcast.
And it was he who give the order to carry out the Buster Call on Ohara.
Back then, Akainu, Kizaru, and the other admirals were only vice admirals, Zephyr was semi-retired, and Garp had always refused this kind of action. This left a vacant position among the three admirals, which was empty.
In reality, there was only him, as an admiral, on standby at the time.
And the Buster Call could only be initiated by an admiral. So, under the orders of the Five Elder, he granted the authority to Spandine, who then initiated the Buster Call on Ohara, resulting in the destruction of Ohara and the loss of lives, except for Nico Robin.
And the biggest mistake in that operation was sending certain man among the vice admirals involved.
Sengoku glances at Admiral Akainu by his side.
With these thoughts, Sengoku already has a faint idea of what will happen next.
The Marines and the World Government are about to be humiliated in front of the entire world... Sengoku shakes his head, feeling nothing but helplessness. These are the sins they once committed.
