Chapter 338

The world of Van Pease.

Grand Line.

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

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

The lights were on inside.

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

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

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

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

"Why did you run so fast?»

Yeruashi lowered his hand and looked at the panting girl.

He accidentally 'picked up' this eleven-year-old girl when he came to this world.

It could be said that this small and delicate body was more valuable than gold.

Yes.

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

Because this girl is Nico Robin!

Devil's child, Nico Robin!

Currently, the World Government is giving a bounty of 79 million Belli for her head!

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

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

"Ah ... ah...»

Eleven-year-old Robin put down the bags and sighed heavily, at the same time saying, "I ran into some stray dogs...»

She 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 Marine Patrol for a reward.

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

When she woke up, she was in bed.

The wounds were completely healed, and the bloodstained clothes were replaced with a new white shirt.

When she left the room, she saw Yeruashi.

Robin came to the conclusion that Yeruashi did not recognize her as a Child of the Devil and healed her wounds. Realizing that he must be a good person, Robin immediately declared that she was a homeless orphan and began to beg to leave her, saying that she was able to do any job, including cooking well.

Yeruashi, of course, immediately realized that Robin thought he didn't recognize her identity.

This seemed rather interesting to him.

Half a year has already passed since that moment.

"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 Devil's Child from the flyer and secretly followed her, intending to confirm it.

Noticing this, she made several circles through the tangled alleys of the city, throwing off her pursuers, and quickly returned home.

But Yeruashi didn't say anything about it.

He put the book down and looked at Robin guiltily: "Why was it necessary to carry all this? The next time you encounter something like this, just throw it all away, although I can certainly cure the bites, but don't waste the 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 very fast, these stray dogs couldn't catch up with me.»

She didn't dare reveal her identity.

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

But.

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

79 million Belli.

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

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

People can easily betray for the sake of wealth.

The good people who were previously ready to accept her immediately changed dramatically, becoming ugly and evil.

They all wanted to hand her over to the Sea Patrol for a big 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 one day...

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

But fortunately, Yeruashi rarely goes outside.

Although he reads the papers regularly, there has been no mention of her in the papers lately.

Under such circumstances, her identity shouldn't be revealed anytime soon.

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

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

Robin blushed slightly and lowered her eyes: "I went to cook.»

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

Yeruashi is different from everyone she has encountered so far.

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

If she hadn't survived the Ohara Incident and the many dark events that followed, including the incessant flight and betrayal, she might not have been able to resist Yeruashi's charm.

But even now.

Robin didn't let her guard down by looking at the kind and gentle Yeruashi.

At times like this, Robin reminded herself that she was no ordinary eleven-year-old girl, but a Child of the Devil, wanted by the World Government.

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

«...»

Yeruashi smiled as he watched little Robin walk into 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 flashed in his eyes, forming a clear pattern.

"Finally fully recovered...»

Yeruashi breathed a sigh of relief as he took in the changes that had taken place in his body.

This transition did not affect the illusory clock at all, as before, Yeruashi could use four time-type abilities, but the power of the Chakra Fruit gained in the world of Naruto was in an extremely depressed state, not corresponding to this world.

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

After half a year, he finally stopped feeling any discomfort.

The blue pattern in Yeruashi's eyes slowly rotated.

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

He took a sip of his tea and smiled.
