Vol. 02 Ch. 10 – Mother's love

Previously …

Maria: "Arthur, why are we stopping? With that speed, Sebas said that we would arrive in 5 hours. "

Arthur: "Athena can use the jet dial system for 6 hours before the jet dial shell wall starts to crack and it takes 6 hours to be able to use it again. I saved the last hour for emergencies. "

…

Arthur: "Good, take care of your health. And for your question, I just crossed the Calm Belt. Regarding Robin, she is probably on the Papaya island, northeast of Ohara. And it takes me about 5 hours to get there. You'd better stay at Thriller Bark, I'll take Robin there tomorrow. Papaya is the headquarters of one of the five west blue mafia families. "

…

After tying their boat, Sebas followed Arthur, who walked towards the crowd of the market. When Arthur wanted to take out his compass, Arthur saw a hand emerge from the fruit shop stall next to the alley between buildings. The hand took some fruit and threw the fruit into the alley.

Arthur: "I'm really lucky, maybe the use of this compass will decrease. And who says she has to hide away from the crowd if she easily hides in the crowd despite having a bounty. "

------------------- ^_^ -------------------

Arthur: "There's no mistaking Robin as an intellectual genius girl."

Sebas: "I think so too, young master Arthur."

What makes Arthur and Sebas think that Robin is a genius because Robin's mindset is not fixed on the rail. If you see an apple thrown into the alley between the two buildings, surely those who see it think that someone received the fruit in the alley. But that does not apply to Robin. If it wasn't for his Kenboshoku Haki, Arthur would not have known that Robin was hiding in the topmost empty room of the building and not in the alley.

Arthur: "Geppo!"

Robin: "Eh ... Who? If you are a thief, there are no valuables here so you should just try the next room. "

Arthur: "Nice to meet you, my name is Phantasm D Arthur, I'm here to pick you up. And I'm not part of this island mafia or marine. Even though your face and body language look calm, you can still hear a little anxiety from your tone of voice, Nico Robin."

Robin: "I didn't do anything, but it was the marines that destroyed Ohara." *sob* *sob*

Arthur: "I know that so don't worry, and I'm here to pick you up. Your mother is waiting for you at Thriller Bark. "

Robin: "I don't believe, [Seis Fleur]. I won't hurt you but don't follow me again. " With the power of her devil fruit, Robin creates six hands that bind both Arthur's hands.

Arthur: "Flower-flower devil fruit, the part of the body that you create will be the same as your own body. So if your enemy's strength exceeds your strength, this is what will happen. " With his strength, Arthur broke free from Robin's arm. And these arms disappear into flower petals.

Robin: "Please ..." *sob* *sob*

Arthur: *sigh* "I already told you that I want to help you. So use this and follow me, you are safe. "

Arthur pulled out a jacket with a hood for Robin. Of course, Robin was surprised but what she felt most was confusion. Arthur could enter through the fifth-floor window without Robin realizing, Arthur's strength also clearly exceeded the power she had. Robin's hope which has disappeared now appears again, is it true that Arthur will help her?

Arthur: "Sebas, what about the marines and mafia members on this island?"

Sebas: "Both parties are equally seeking the young lady Robin, and avoiding direct contact between each other."

Arthur: "My mother must have waited for a long time, let's go back to the ship. And Robin, please use your hood so that no one will recognize you. "

Robin: "But this is too big for me."

Arthur: "That's the purpose, [Omni Art]."

With the power of his devil fruit, Arthur easily transforms the little Robin into an adult Robin who looks like when she working with Crocodile. Robin was very surprised when her body suddenly changed, she felt her position of vision became higher. But what Robin knows is that she will be safe with this new look.

Robin: *sob* "Derisiisisisi derisiisisisi."

Arthur: "I know that you are happy, but please, don't laugh like that especially with your appearance now."

Robin: *sob* "Why didn't you come earlier, maybe the other at Ohara could also escape and be safe?" * sob *

Arthur: "I'm sorry for being late, at least I can save you and your mother. Now follow me to the ship and leave this place. "

Robin: *sob* "Hm" Robin nodded his head and followed Arthur and Sebas towards the harbor.

Arthur and Sebas walked quietly to the harbor, but Robin was still a little afraid of walking right behind Arthur. Arthur who saw Robin like that immediately smiled. How come? This week, this 7-year-old girl is always alone and is being chased by many people because of her bounty. Right after passing through the port's entrance gate, the steps of the three of them were stopped by the marine who was on guard looking for Robin who may want to escape from the island.

Arthur: "Don't worry." Arthur whispered to Robin.

Marine: "Please open your hoods for us to examine. If there are no problems, you can continue your journey. Please cooperate!"

Arthur: "Are there cases of kidnappings, Mr marine?" Arthur asked and opened his hood followed by Sebas and Robin.

Marine: "Only routine checks. Is your luggage only the backpacks you carry? "

Sebas: "Yes, we have sold our first harvest to this island."

Sebas provided proof of buying and selling paper. Of course, Sebas had prepared everything and he also indeed sold a lot of crops as their guise. After making sure all the files are authentic, Arthur, Sebas, and Robin successfully passed the examination. Robin sighed and they made it back to Athena.

Maria: "Arthur, why are you taking so long? Where is Robin? Didn't you find her? Do I need to call the old man to search the whole island? "

Arthur: "Calm down, mom. [Liberty Art]. Mother, I introduce to you, Nico Robin, daughter of Nico Olvia. And Robin, I introduce you to my mother, Maria. "

Robin: "Hello ..." Robin nodded doubtfully about this situation.

Maria: "Kya ... you are so sweet. Will she grow beautiful like that, Arthur? " Maria immediately hugged and carried Robin, making Robin surprised.

Arthur: "Maybe, but certainly she will grow beautiful."

Maria; "You are safe, my child. My son, Arthur will protect you. Sebas, prepare the bathroom and lunch. Robin, come on in, I'll show this ship which builds by my son, Arthur. "

Robin: "Hm." Robin could only nod not knowing what to do with this situation

Maria: "And Arthur, later we need to talk about your clothes which different now."

Arthur: "Eh ...?"

Maria carries Robin in and shows all the facilities in Athena while waiting for the bathroom to soak in hot water. Yes, Maria wants to take a bath together with Robin to deepen their relationship. Robin also began to lower her vigilance after being with Maria. Seeing Robin who began to smile sincerely, Arthur headed to the control room to contact Olvia with den-den mushi.

* Purupuru Purupuru Gacha *

Arthur: "Good afternoon, mother-in-law, Olvia. How was your day?"

Olvia: "Good afternoon, everything is still safe and no one knows our identity. How about Robin, have you found her? "

Arthur: "Ah, she's fine even though she's still in the hands ..."

Olvia: "Was Robin caught by the marine? Or is the mafia family there? "

Arthur: "Please calm down, Robin is still in my mother's hands, in the real mean. I think you know about my mother's character. "

Olvia: "Thank god, when will you get to Thriller Bark?"

Arthur: "With normal speed, we will arrive tomorrow morning. Do you want to talk to Robin? "

Olvia: "No need, I will meet her tomorrow and I need to prepare my heart to meet her. Just say that I miss her and love her. See you tomorrow."

Arthur: "Certainly. Did you hear that, Robin? "

Olvia & Robin: "Eh?"

Arthur: "See you tomorrow, Olvia."

* Gacha *

Robin, who at the tour of Athena's facilities together with Maria, used the power of her devil fruit to leave several ears. And one of them is under the navigation table, Robin who was still in the bathroom with Maria heard all the conversation between Arthur and Olvia in den-den mushi.

Robin: He knows it. Since when? What is the real talk?

Maria: "You don't need to be afraid and be too vigilant. You are safe. "

Maria who saw Robin's facial expression naturally knew what she was thinking. She immediately hugged Robin and stroked Robin's hair with great affection. Robin who felt the warmth of Maria immediately cried all her emotions over this.
