Chapter 96: The gentlest man eats the coldest fruit

[Nico Robin: "Luffy, you should leave me alone, you will not be the opponent of the CP9."]

[Monkey D. Luffy: "You are my companion, Robin! How could I just watch you die!"]

[Nico Robin: "Luffy...."]

Seeing Luffy's answer made Robin's heart feel warm.

At this time, it is impossible for her to say that Luffy's heart is not right!

Because Luffy was going to save her.

But it is tantamount to declaring war on the World Government!

Robin never thought about it.

One day, she will be so valued by others!!!

[Nami: "Wait for us, Robin, we will definitely rescue you!]

[Monkey D. Dragon: "The hateful World government CP9 organization, dare to hurt my daughter-in-law, you pay dearly for it!!!"]

[Marco the Phoenix: "The World government is really damned, it doesn't even let a girl go, as for killing them all like this?"]

[Sakazuki: "Nico Robin, is the remnant of Ohara, existence like this should be wiped out!!!"]

[Kaidou of the Beasts: "Heck,...you are afraid of us pirates, and you will study the truth that has been blank for a hundred years, right? But the hidden history will be announced sooner or later."]

[Monkey D. Garp: "Although this old man is not interested in the Void Century, Nico Robin is already my granddaughter-in-law. Even if someone from the government hurts her, I won't just sit back and watch!"]

While everyone was discussing in the chat room.

The frozen picture also continued to play.

Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and others marched on the sea all the way.

They comes to the Enies Lobby.

They stand on a high platform.

Stare at Robin who sits under the government banner.

Looking at this group of companions who are desperately trying to save her.

Robin was lost in memory.

When she was a child, she lived carefree in Ohara.

In an accident, she met Vice-Admiral Jaguar D. Saul, and the two also became good friends.

But it didn't take long before the CP9 agency came to investigate the Oharan archaeologists.

After discovering that the archaeologists were studying the forbidden Poneglyphs and the Void Century, they relied the information to the government.

The World Government ordered the island's destruction via the Buster Call.

Olvia was able to return to Ohara and briefly reunite with her daughter with the help of Jaguar D. Saul.

Olvia entrusts Robin to Saul's care. Saul promised Olvia to protect her daughter and then carried Robin to the shore of the island, but the Marine ships spotted him and opened fire.

Saul put Robin down and angrily retaliated, picking up one ship and throwing it into another.

While attacking other ships, Saul told Robin to go to the evacuation ship.

When Spandine refused to allow her aboard, Saul charged at the CP9 ship, but Kuzan intercepted him. 

Their argument about Justice was interrupted by the evacuation ship exploding.

Saul attempted to escape with Robin, but Kuzan froze him in place.

Before being completely encased in ice, Saul laughed and encouraged Robin to escape the island and to find friends out at sea.

Saul, lying on the ground, yelled to Robin: "Go Robin."

"But, Saul, your injury." Robin said with tears in the corner of his eyes.

"I can't escape, you run away Robin." Saul warned.

"I don't want it. I don't know anyone." Robin cried.

"Listen up, Robin."

"Although you are alone now, you will find a companion one day!" Saul said earnestly.

"Companion?" Robin was taken aback.

"That's right, the sea is very vast. One day, there will be a companion who can protect you. In this world, you will never be alone all the time!!!"

After finishing speaking, Saul caught a glimpse of Kuzan approaching him and continued: "Go Robin, don't look back. "

Hearing Saul's words, Robin fled with sadness and tears.

When Robin fled to the shore.

Seeing that Kuzan was sitting on the stake, he glanced at Robin and said in a deep voice, "Thorough justice can sometimes turn people into murder weapons. I decided to let you leave this island. I want to see the seed Saul guarded with his life. What will it look like!"

"And remember this: I am not your ally... If you do anything, I'm the 'enemy' that will be the first to catch you."

He helped Robin to escape via the use of his Devil Fruit powers, by freezing a trail in the ocean for her boat to sail safely through.

Accompanied by this video playback.

Countless barrages emerged.

'The gentlest man eats the coldest fruit.'

'The coldest person eats the hottest fruit, this is the gap. '

'It's a good thing Robin met Kuzan, otherwise it would be over.'

'So that's how Robin was saved.'

'I feel that Kuzan wants to have a lolita, but this one belong to Luffy.'

'Hiss...Thinking about it is terrifying!'

'It seems to be quite reasonable.'

'Poor Kuzan, the loli he has been raised for so many years was taken by Luffy. '

[Sakazuki: "I said how did this remnant of Ohara escape, and you let go of your feelings Kuzan? Is it possible that you bastard is really like what the barrage said, and you want to play with a loli?"]

[Kuzan: "Arara... You misunderstood me, Sakazuki, I'm not interested in that."]

[Sakazuki: "That's not what I'm asking you! What I'm asking you is, why did you let Robin go!"]

[Kuzan: "I'm a little sleepy, let me get some sleep..."]

[Sakazuki: "You!!!"]

[Monkey D. Garp: "Bwahaha... As expected of my big apprentice, Kuzan, I did not train you for nothing, but let you save my granddaughter-in-law!!!"]

[Kuzan: "Too much credit to Mr. Garp."]

[Sakazuki: "Aren't you sleeping Kuzan?"]

[Kuzan: "Take another look before going to bed."]

[Monkey D. Dragon: "Kuzan, do you want to join our revolutionary army? I don't think you really want to stay in Marine, right. You just happen to be my daughter-in-law's savior. If you come to the Revolutionary Army, I will give you a good position."]

[Sengoku the Buddha: "Shut up Dragon! You actually want to poach our Marines Admiral!"]

[Kuzan: "Arara... Join the Revolutionary Army? It seems to be quite interesting!"]

[Sakazuki: "Kuzan you bastard!"]

[Sabo: "You Marine people are really cruel enough to bombard refugees! Those people are obviously not scholars at all, they are innocent!"]

[Sakazuki: "What do you know? What if there are scholars on that refugee ship?"]

[Portgas D. Ace: "Couldn't you Marines go on board the refugee boat and have a good look? As for involving all those innocent people?"]

[Sengoku the Buddha: "Should I say it or not, you did go too far in this matter, Sakazuki, but if you send someone on the refugee ship to investigate carefully, even if there are hidden scholars who are killed, it will be fine if innocent people are involved. This is not to anger the justice concept that belongs to our Marine!"]

[Fujitora: "As Kuzan Admiral said, Thorough justice will turn people into a murder weapon. I don't agree with this kind of justice."]

[Sakazuki: "You guys...!"]

[Nami: "So Robin you have such a tragic past, I didn't even know."]

[Monkey D. Luffy: "Sorry Robin, I didn't know you shouldered so much."]

[Nico Robin: "No need to apologize, this is all in the past, now I have you guys as my companions, I am already very happy, even if you failed to save me in the end, I am satisfied."]

[Monkey D. Luffy: "No! I will save you, Robin! Absolutely!"]

[Nico Robin: "Luffy...."]

While everyone was discussing in the chat room.

The originally frozen scene also continued to play.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates stood on the high platform.

"I now understand well the identity of Robin's enemy."

 Luffy glanced at the flag representing the World government hanging on the top of the building, and ordered Usopp beside him: "Sogeking, shoot through that flag."

"Roger."

"This is my new weapon, a huge slingshot... named Kabuto! Have a good look at it's power!"

Declared Sogeking as he stretches his slingshot and fires " Special attack... Firebird Star!"

Directly shot through the government flag hanging on the top of the building.

"Mission accomplished."

"Are you insane? Don't think that you'll be able to survive, after making the entire world your enemy!" Spandam exclaimed.

"Bring it on!!!" Luffy roared.

After saying that, Luffy put his eyes on Robin and shouted: "Robin! We still haven't heard you say it! Say you want to live!!!"

Hearing what Luffy said, the tears in the corners of Robin's eyes couldn't stop.

It came back in her mind.

What countless people have said to her over the years.

'You shouldn't be allowed to live in this world, Robin!'

'Your existence itself is a huge crime, Robin!!

I thought it was something I dared not wish for.

No one ever let me wish for it.

If... it's really okay for me to utter my wish for once...

I...

" I want to Live!"

"Take me to the sea with you!" Robin cried bitterly.

Hearing Robin's answer.

Luffy and the others also had smiles on their faces.

"Let's Go!!!" Luffy ordered.
