Chapter 13: Lucky Find, Nico Robin 2
" Nico Robin, I want to invite you to be in my crew as an archaeologist."
Narmi said to Robin causing her hear shook. Never in her runaway life had someone invite her. Usually people want to take advantage of her by giving info to the Marines. This young man in front of her invite her to be in his crew.
Nevertheless, Robin still maintain her vigilance and asked him. " What is your purpose of inviting me? I don't believe you didn't have any ulterior motive."
Hearing her, Narmi couldn't help but scratched the back of his head in embarassment. He understand that living on the run, hiding from the world had make her lost some trust in people. So, he replied to her about what he knew of her circumstances.
" I don't have any for real. I knew that you are not the murderer of O'Hara. The O'Hara has been annihilated by Marines itself, when the Buster Call is initiated. Also, I knew O'Hara been annihilated due to their research on the Void Century"
Narmi's statement once again make Robin's face full of shock. How did this man knew about the O'Hara's Research on Void Century? Did he knew something about Void Century too?
" How did you know? Only the World Government and Marines knew that we O'Hara research on the Void Century."
" Well, you can say I have some prior knowledge about it. But, most importantly right now, is whether you want to join my crew? If you want, I promise with my life that I will protect you and also I will bring you to some places that have Road Poneglyph. Aren't you curious about Void Century?"
His offer made Robin's heart fluttered as this man promise to protect her. Besides, it looks like this man knew about Road Poneglyph too. My dream is still to discover about the Void Century, the continuation of the O'Haran people dreams.
With a resolute expression, she replied " Alright, I will join your crew."
Narmi leaped up from his seat in joy as Robin accepted his offer but quickly regain his composure and made a fake cough. " Ahem , then Welcome to Grand King Pirates. "
Seeing he acted like that, Robin chuckled a bit and replied to him with a smile. " Thank you, captain. I'm counting on you."
Out of the blue, a shout can be heard from outside the restaurant.
" NICO ROBIN, BOUNTY OF 79 MILLIONS BERRY. COME OUT AND SURRENDER YOURSELF. WE HAVE THIS BLOCK SURROUNDED. YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY THIS TIME."

" NICO ROBIN, BOUNTY OF 79 MILLIONS BERRY. COME OUT AND SURRENDER YOURSELF. WE HAVE THIS BLOCK SURROUNDED. YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY THIS TIME."
Robin's faced pale when she heard the shout. Due to this, she thought that she had made some inconvenience to Narmi, since she just join his crew.
She turned to look at Narmi and stunned, when she saw the aura of dominance seem to be getting stronger when he heard the shout.

'Hehe. This System is really generous. I love you System. Now let me show them how strong I am with you help.'
" It's time to prove myself. Watch how I fulfill my promise to you." Narmi said while he woke up from the seat.
Robin tried to stop him but before she could, Narmi had put his hand on her head and said. " Sit tight, I will be right back. No one will ever dare to disturb you again. As you are my precious crewmates."
Robin couldn't help but blushed when she heard that word. She then turned and saw Narmi had walked until the door and opened it. In her sight, that thin-build of him looks incredibly large this time, making her feel secure for the first time.

The Marine's Captain waited until the door of the restaurant open. Instead of a young lady, a young man that came out from the restaurant.
"Oya oya, Marines' Captain. Who are you and to what do I owe the pleasure?" Narmi asked although he knew who is the man in front of him.
" I am Captain Smoker. My purpose is to catch the notorious Devil's Child Nico Robin. I knew she is inside."
" Ohh, I'm sorry captain but unfortunately, I can't allow that. You see she is my crew. Anyone dare to touch her will die. "
" You dare to threathen the Marines?! I guess I can capture you also in the time being. A pirates is a scum of the society. Charge, Marines."
" Huh.. I guess you guys really need to get a beating. Let me show you how big of gap between you guys and me."
