Chapter 338: Nico Robin

The world of One Piece.

Grand Line.

A girl of eleven or twelve was running down a dark alley, holding in each hand a large bag filled with vegetables, meat and other ingredients, as well as some fruit.

She ran to one of the doors, opened it and hurried inside.

The lights were on inside.

Walking down the hallway, she entered a clean and tidy living room.

A man was sitting on the couch in the living room, a book in his hand.

This man with silver hair and blue pupils looked to be in his early twenties.

He was so beautiful that he could knock down countless girls at a glance.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Yeruashi lowered his hand and looked at the panting girl.

He accidentally 'picked up' this eleven year old girl when she came into this world.

You could say that this delicate little body was more valuable than gold.

Yes.

This may sound a little strange, but it really is.

Because this girl is Nico Robin!

Demon Girl, Nico Robin!

Currently, the World Government is putting a 79 million Belli bounty on her head!

Even in the first half of Grand Line, few people have such a high bounty!

So it's fair to say that with such a small body and such a high bounty, every inch of her body is worth thousands or tens of thousands of belli.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Eleven-year-old Robin put down the bags and sighed deeply, at the same time saying, "I ran into some strays..."

He met Yeruashi about half a year ago.

At that time, the employer revealed Robin's true identity and betrayed her, intending to hand her over to the Navy in exchange for the bounty.

Upon learning of this, Robin immediately escaped, but was injured during the escape, ran into a house in a panic and lost consciousness.

When she awoke, she was in bed.

The wounds on her body were completely healed and the bloodstained clothes were replaced by a new white shirt.

When she came out of the room, she saw Yeruashi.

Robin concluded that Yeruashi did not recognize her identity as 'Demon Girl' and healed her wounds. Realizing that he must be a good person, Robin immediately declared that she was a homeless orphan and began begging to let her stay with him, saying that she could do any job, even cooking well.

Yeruashi, of course, immediately realized that Robin thought he did not recognize her identity.

He found this quite interesting.

So he agreed to take her in, and so half a year passed.

"Stray dogs?"

Yeruashi smiled at Robin's explanation.

Of course there are no stray dogs, that was just an excuse made up by Robin.

The truth is that during a shopping trip, someone noticed that she looked like the 'Demon Girl' on the steering wheel and secretly followed her, intending to confirm it.

Realizing this, she made several circles through the tangled alleys of the city, pushing her pursuers away and quickly returned home.

But Yeruashi said nothing about it.

He put the book down in his hand, looked at Robin and said with a hint of reproach, "Why was it necessary to carry all this? The next time you come across something like this, throw it all away, although I can certainly heal you, but you will inevitably suffer some pain."

Yeruashi's words touched Robin's heart.

She bit her lip and smiled tightly, "Doctor, how can I give up my duties? I ran so fast, these stray dogs couldn't catch up with me."

She dared not reveal her identity.

In fact, she had met such nice people many times before, who were willing to take her in and give her a job so she could survive.

But...

Once these people knew her true identity, the situation would change dramatically immediately.

79 million belli.

The vast majority of people will not be able to earn this amount in their lifetime.

Even the capital of most of the small rich people does not reach such a sum!

People can easily betray for the sake of wealth.

The good people who were once ready to accept it changed dramatically at once, becoming ugly and evil.

They all wanted to hand her over to the Navy in exchange for a large reward.

Yeruashi has been kind to her now, like so many people before, but she doesn't know how long she can continue to hide her identity.

Maybe in a day...

Yeruashi will accidentally see the flyer and notice that it looks like the 'Demon Girl', and then somehow secretly confirm it and become 'evil' like the rest of the people before him.

But, fortunately, Yeruashi rarely goes out.

Although she reads newspapers regularly, she has not been mentioned in the papers lately.

Under such circumstances, her identity should not be revealed any time soon.

"It's just food, there's nothing wrong with feeding stray dogs, just buy it back."

Yeruashi reached out, patted Robin's head and said with a smile.

Robin blushed a little and lowered her eyes, "I'll go cook."

After saying that, she took the bags and went to the kitchen.

Yeruashi is different from everyone she has met so far.

With a beautiful face and blue eyes like the vast starry sky, he was like a character from a fairy tale.

Had she not survived the Ohara incident and the many dark events that followed, including the incessant running away and betrayal, she might not have been able to resist Yeruashi's charm.

But even now.

Robin did not let her guard down by looking at the kind and gentle Yeruashi.

At times like this, Robin reminded herself that she was not an ordinary eleven-year-old girl, but a 'Demon Girl', wanted by the World Government.

She can't afford to live like a normal person.

"..."

Yeruashi smiled as he watched little Robin enter the kitchen.

He turned his head to look at the coffee table in front of him and, at the same time, a sky blue glow shone in his eyes, forming a clear pattern.

"Finally fully recovered..."

Yeruashi sighed in relief as he realized the changes that had taken place in his body.

This transition did not affect the illusionary clock at all, as before, Yeruashi could use four time-type abilities, but the Chakra Fruit power obtained in Naruto's world was in an extremely repressed state, as it did not correspond to this world.

But over time, the Chakra Fruit power was gradually integrated into this world and the suppression weakened.

After half a year, he finally stopped feeling discomfort.

The blue pattern in Yeruashi's eyes slowly rotated.

The cup rose into the air and landed gently in Yeruashi's hand.

He took a sip of his tea and smiled.
