Chapter 12: Lucky Find, Nico Robin 1

Robin quickly want to run away when she heard him called her. She thought that man is probably a bounty hunter who in pursuit of her.

Unfortunately, before she could make her move, Narmi had reached in front of her. " Hey there, young lady. Please be at ease. I'm not what you think I am. Let's have a talk."

Hearing that he want to have a talk with her, she quickly regain her composure, but still maintaining a level of vigilance towards him. This is in case if the man had meant to harm her, she can quickly escaped.

" What do you want from me? Usually, people who knows me are bounty hunter or Marines."

" Let's find a place to have a talk. Coincidentally, I had found a place that is suitable for us to have a nice friendly chat. Follow me."

Narmi started to walked towards Henry's Restaurant but suddenly halt his steps when he remembered about the task he had given Nami.

" Nami, did you had buy the Log Pose?" Narmi asked her. " Yeah, I had. It is pretty cheap isn't it."

Nami answered him oblivious to the fact that he knows about her nature.

" Really? Great. Where is the 10 Million berry I gave you?" His question made Nami very shocked to the core, but still tried to answer innocently. " What do you mean 10 Million? There is none, I have use it to bought the Log Pose."

" Bah, you little girl. Do you think I don't know you stole it from the shop? Return me 5 million only and the rest, you can use it for yourself."

Knowing that she can't outsmart her captain, she just return the 5 million to him. After he received the money from her, he gave a signal for Robin to follow him.

Robin who saw the weird exchange between this man and the little girl, felt confused about them. She then thought that thinking anymore couldn't help her, so she quickly chased Narmi that had walked a distance away from her.

At a Marine Base in Loguetown.

Den Den Mushi is ringing in a Captain's Office. The captain quickly received the Den Den Mushi caller.

" Report sir. 'Devil Child' Nico Robin is spotted with a young man heading towards Logue Restaurant. What should we do sir?"

The Captain huffed a puff of smoke from his two cigars and replied " Follow her. I will gather the men. Report to me later when she is alone. This time we will not let her escape. "

" Roger, Captain."

'Nico Robin, I will not let you escape from here' the Captain vowed while rushed to gather his men.

Meanwhile, Narmi and Robin had arrived at the restaurant. Robin look inside the restaurant and noticed that there is no one in here. She quickly calculated her escape path for safety purpose.

" Oooh brother Narmi. Why are you here? I'm currently preparing myself for the journey. Don't say that you are impatient for me hahaha."

" It's not like that. You see I have something to talk with this young lady. So, may I use this place for a moment?"

"Haha just use it. There is no one coming after all."

Narmi then quickly sat on an empty seat and beckon Robin to take a seat as well. Robin watched her surrounding in vigilance.

" Just sit, I want to talk about an offer."

Finally, Robin take her seat across Narmi. Robin stared at the man in front of him curiously. Who is he? How did the man notice her spying in the alley? What is the offer that the man is talking about?

" I know there is many things in your head so ask me any questions that you might have. But first let me introduce myself. I am Narmi Amsi, Captain of Grand King Pirates. That girl you see at the alley is called Nami, the crew navigator. While this restaurant's owner going to be my crew's cook."

Narmi's quickly introduce himself and his crew. Robin who heard his introduction, relaxed her vigilance a bit as she knows the man in front of him was not your usual pirate. She could feel an aura of dominance emanating from him.

But before she could respond to his introduction, Narmi's dropped a bomb that made Robin's face full of shock.

" Nico Robin, I want to invite you to be in my crew as an archaeologist."
