Chapter 22: Date with Nico Robin 2

"So, will you be my girlfriend?"

His question dropped like a bomb towards Nico Robin. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Usually, people will took the time and choose the most pleasing words for the girl.

Yet, here he is, with such a straightforward approach. He used the most plain words but those plain words manage to melt Robin's heart. But she still wanted a confirmation, so he inquired him.

"Did you really want me to be your girlfriend? You do know that Marines and the World Government hunting for me. Right now, I am like a burden towards you. I didn't want to increase the burden on you by being in a close relationship with you."

Narmi just guffawed loudly with her questions. He then proceed to answer her.

"Robin, Marines or World Government, nobody will dare to touch you as long as I am here to protect you. You are not a burden towards me, but you are my responsibility. Rather if you are here with me, even if the 5 Elders came to captured you, I will not allowed them as you are my source of strength."

Her face flushed with his words. Tears began to welled up in her eyes. For how many years she had been on the run, right now she had truly felt freedom.

Not only that, but he who was the one that had gave her the freedom, had also said that he wanted to protect her. Tears of happiness started to trickle down her fair cheeks.

Narmi who saw her tears started to drop down, woke up from his kneeling and hugged her in a hurry. He tried to calmed her down thinking that maybe this is too much for her and he got rejected.

But much to his bewilderment, Robin reciprocated his act by hugging him tightly as if she doesn't want to let him go. He who was 195cm tall look towards her. Feeling his gaze, she also look towards him and their eyes meet with each other.

After a bout of stares, they started kissing in front of everyone. The crowd of onlookers cheered when they saw the scene unfolding towards a happy ending. Never could they expect, a ruthless man was so sweet to her woman. Nami who had watched from before, also cheered loudly showing her supports towards their relationship.

After a few seconds, their lips parted and just lowered their head in embarrassment when the crowds cheered for them. Robin who was unfamiliar with the attention given towards her, move closer towards Narmi.

Noticing her uneasiness, he swiftly pick her up in a princess carry, and left the area. Nami just grinned watching them, as she found something that she could tease the both of them later.

With Narmi and Robin's departure, the crowd started to disperse.

Somewhere around Whiskey Peak.

A middle-aged man sitting in a seat with his right hand holding a beer bottle. In front of him, a young man with face full of scar giving him a report.

"Boss, we found a big catch. Narmi Amsi, bounty of 150 Million Berry."

"A newcomer from East Blue right? I heard he had massacred the Loguetown Marine Base. Shouldn't be easy to deal with"

"That's why I'm reporting to you about him. Apparently, he just hooked up with someone in his crew. It was a hot information that had been caught by our boys."

"Who is the girl?" "'Devil's Child' Nico Robin"

The Boss spurted out his beer. Heaven. This is a chance for him to kill two birds with one stone.

"It looks like luck is on our side. Her price in underground intelligence had been raised towards 100 Million Berry and wanted alive."

"Wow such a high price. So what's the call boss?"

"Gather our men. We are going to catch Nico Robin and bait that boy, Narmi Amsi. Surely he won't intend to put her in a dangerous situation."

The Boss ordered the young man, oblivious to the fact that their conversation had been heard by the passing Trafalgar Law.

'Interesting, he dared to touch captain's woman. He shouldn't had planned that. Surely, he will not stand by'

Law then used his Den Den Mushi and called for Narmi. He reported to him what that he had heard only to received an evil laugher from him. Never had he felt such an ominous laugh before. But before he cut the call, he heard a word of sincere gratitude from him.

Afterwards, he slid the Den Den Mushi in his jacket pocket and said to himself.

"Haih.. You guys shouldn't have planned that. It wasn't luck that you got, but a curse instead. A wild beast had been awakened, and you can't stop him. No one will be left alive when he rampaged"

Although he just met Narmi, but he could guess what will happen if he truly rampaged around. That young man's appearance truly can tricked people about him.

Only an expert could notice in that thin-build of his, lies a dominant power. He wasn't someone that you should dare to provoke casually.

——————————————————

Narmi who just received the call from Law frowned a bit but in a swift, return to his smiling expression. Right now, he is in a bliss as he had just confessed to Robin and she accepted him.

Originally, he wanted to continue flirting with her but he need to put that on hold. The reason his flirting was cut short was the report from Law. Apparently, they really thought I am an easy-to-bully pirates. They dared to planned on using Robin to capture me.

Motherf**ker. This time I'm going to prove them my dominance. I'm going to show them that if they dared to touch on my crew and my loved ones, they have a hell to pay.

He then called Nami and Henry to went back towards their ship. He ordered them to stick around with Robin and never left her side as he got something to do that night. Nami and Henry just nodded their head and Robin just blushed with his protectiveness.

When he left the ship, his atmosphere change from an affable young man to a ferocious wild beast.

Tonight was the night his dominance be made known. The night that the nickname 'Devil King' was created.

LET THE WILD BEAST RELEASE.
