Chapter 22

The entire island of Baltigo was filled with white soil, giving it a sort of pristine look. Robin was then lead to what seemed to be the living quarters of the revolutionaries. On her way to the living quarters she saw a man, who seemed to be a cross between Japanese SoldierFish and a human, training kids who seemed to her age in basic martial arts. Robin wondered if they were the kids of revolutionaries or orphans that were kidnapped and brainwashed. On her way to the quarters there were many curious gazes following her , she paid no attention to it. The escorts then requested Robin to freshen up while they went and informed their superiors about their arrival.

Just as Robin finished freshening up, a knock was heard on her door. On opening a woman who had half white and half orange hair and wore half white half orange robe aligning with her hair,she was holding a wine glass, greeted her. Robin then invited her in. She then introduced herself " I am Inazuma, an officer in the revolutionary army. I am here to escort you to our leader when you are ready."

Robin had already freshened up so decided to change into clothes prepared for her.

When she was about remove her old clothes, Inazuma spoke " If you don't massage them regularly, they won't grow bigger dear! Maybe I should introduce you to my queen she can help you in that department." while staring at her relatively flat chest.

As soon as Robin realized what she was talking about she sent a stare filled with killing intent towards Inazuma. Inazuma then quickly replied "Feisty one aren't ya, I'll just wait outside" while going outside.

Robin quickly got dressed and followed Inazuma to meet with the leader of revolutionaries.

Inazuma also didn't tease Robin as just a stare had sent a chill down her spine, and quickly led Robin to their leader, Monkey D. Dragon.

Robin was led into a huge room that had a large dining table, there tons of different delicacies kept on it. There were quite a few people who were seated , she recognized the fish-human hybrid instructor, then there was a weird man dressed in what looked like woman's clothes, a large man wearing a cute bear hat and many more. It looked like there was a banquet prepared, she was seated opposite to the head the of the table. As soon as she sat down the person who was sitting in head's position got up, he was tall dark man with shaggy spiky hair, and very unique face tattoo, it was the same man who was on the ship and ordered for Robin's protection, raising the glass he spoke " This banquet is in honor of light of revolution Nico Robin" immediately downing the content he sat down and the atmosphere turned boisterous signalling the start of banquet, many people small talked with Robin during the banquet but Robin was more into eating than responding, as all she had till now just roasted meat. Seeing others did not get offended but rather amused and kept sending different dishes her way, soon the amusement turned to surprise then to shock as Robin kept devouring food at a high pace with no signs of slowing down. Robin ignored the shocked surprised gazes directed towards her and ate her fill. As soon as she finished, the leader signalled the end of banquet, soon most of them left, only people left in the room along with Robin were the leader , the instructor, Inazuma, the cute bear hat guy, and the guy wearing a crown, heavy make up and woman's clothes.

The leader spoke "Let me welcome you once again to the headquarters of revolutionary army, Miss Nico Robin , I am Monkey D. Dragon, I believe you have already met Inazuma, this is Hack, Bartholomew Kuma and finally Ivankov" while pointing at the fish person, bear hat guy and cross dressed dude.

Robin then spoke " Nice to meet you Mr. Dragon, let's cut the chase and get to point what is it that you want from me?"

Slightly surprised by the little girl's straight forward attitude Dragon replied "Miss Robin you may not know this but your little adventure in Ohara hasn't gone unnoticed, especially the fact that you can read the ancient script and decipher the poneglyph. They have even given instructions to CP 0 and CP 9 to prioritize any leads regarding you and even increased your bounty. Although they believe you have a mysterious backer and might exercise a little more caution before confronting you, you are not safe on your own. So join us and help us decipher the poneglyphs and over throw the world government and we will keep you safe."

Robin hearing this chuckled and replied " So let me get this straight you want me to be imprisoned here for my "protection" while I help you find the three ancient weapons so that you can cause death and mayhem all in the name of revolution and ending tyranny. I will have to decline the offer, and you guys protecting me, please don't make me laugh" She got up to leave. But as soon she got up a strong breeze came towards her as if to make her stay but due to her observation Haki she already knew it was incoming and quickly channeled her air Qi to redirect the breeze back to it's owner but with much stronger force and a the fork that she had used during the dinner.

Dragon was caught off guard by the reflex and power displayed by the little girl and he knew she had used even lesser power than him yet her attack was much more stronger than his.

With the help of his observation Haki he dodged the fork yet he was a little slow and it grazed his cheek and beads of blood could be seen coming from the wound.

Before Robin exit the dining room, Dragon once again spoke " Miss Robin I think we got off on the wrong foot, although it was a bit petty of me to use force on you I just wanted you show you there were more powerful people and not to get confident just because you defeated those agents in Ohara, but clearly it was me who under estimated you by a long shot. Please read this letter before you make a decision".

Saying this Dragon sent the letter across the room to Robin. Robin caught the letter and read it.

The content greatly surprised Robin
