Nami felt lightheaded after hearing Robin's preach. It feels like sunshine and a rainbow for some reason.
Seeing Nami like this, Robin couldn't help but nod. "As expected of Sister Ying'er, the speaking skill she shared with me is unmatched."
"Nami! As a fellow crewmate, I can't watch you keep living in ignorance. I will tell you more about the awesomeness of Yuhaonism with you!"
If Huo Yuhao knew what Robin was doing with Nami, he'd come and stop her immediately. No, no, no. Qianye Ying'er alone is enough.
He couldn't afford another cult-making woman in his harem.
Well, it was too late.
"Yuhao-sama is amazing. He will save you from darkness and pull you to the light, giving you happiness and a peaceful heart." Nami whispered and held her hands together.
"Believe in Yuhao-sama, and you shall receive..."
"Good, you're going on the right path, girl." Robin placed down a book for Nami. She also gave her the reunion gift and spatial ring with 30m cubic space to store them all.
"How unfortunate. I can't awaken your Martial Souls. I'm dying to see what Martial Soul you had."
"But we must wait for Yuhao-sama for that."
"If I awakened your Martial Soul, the effect will be subpar."
Nami snapped from her daze and looked at the thick book before her with a puzzled look. "What is this?"
"My gift for you." Robin smiled.
Nami blinked in confusion before being drawn into a particular piece of jewelry, "O-Okay... Wow, what a beautiful pendant!"
"Robin, this pendant, where do you buy it?"
"Yuhao-sama made it. It's just one of Yuhao-sama's sub-par creations, but it possesses a powerful effect to strengthen one's physique and mental power once worn." Robin answered honestly.
"Yuhao-sama? Are you talking about the great leader, Yuhao-sama? THAT YUHAO-SAMA!" Nami's eyes lit up in excitement.
While Robin preaches, she also shares the story of her journey in another world, like how she fought demons and gods in Draconic Deus and other exciting things.
"Yes." Robin nodded calmly.
"Wow, tell me more, please~!" Nami has completely fallen into a trap.
"Sure."
(A/N: Oh, no~! Just kidding! Oh, Yes~!)
As Robin and Nami chatted, a unique laugh echoed in the street, making them smile because they recognized it.
"YOHOHOHOHO~! Are, are, what happened here?" A skeleton with big afro hair, wearing a black suit, long beach pants, and a golden top hat with a crown, walking on the street.
Robin's head poked out from the lonely cafe as she waved her hand excitedly, "Brook-san, come here!"
"Oh? Robin-san, is that you? You have become more beautiful, like a Goddess!" Brook's empty skeleton socket couldn't help but reveal a charmed look.
"Can I see your panties?"
Robin chuckled, "You can't. I'm engaged to a man now, Brook-san. So please don't ask such a question anymore."
"We are friends, so I don't mind the offense. But my man wouldn't take it easily."
"I'm afraid for your well-being, Brook-san."
"Yohohoho~! Then, I will stop doing it." Brook nodded, taking Robin's words seriously.
Robin isn't the type who likes to joke around.
When Brook entered the cave, he also saw Nami.
"Ah, Nami-san! Can I see your panties?"
"Nope!" Nami replied flatly. She giggled, used to this skeleton's antic.
"Aaw, too bad then." Brook was helpless while taking a chair.
Robin picked a cane and guitar from her spatial storage, "Brook-san, this is for you. The cane is an artifact with a Soul-Freezing Blade inside, and the guitar has a sonic attack attached. Your strength will grow if you use them."
"Wow!" Brook graciously accepted the gift, praising the guitar more than the cane. "This guitar is much better than the one I had."
"Hmm, let me try..."
Brook's skeleton fingers pricked the guitar's line, playing a rock riff with such a passion.
Dum!
Crack! Boom!
"What?" Brook and Nami watched the thick wooden wall nearby crack and become sawdust instantly.
"R-Robin-san, isn't this guitar a bit too strong? Are you sure this isn't a tool that has eaten Devil Fruit?" Brook stared at Robin solemnly.
Nami also glanced at her pendant, feeling it might be more extraordinary than she thought. After all, it was one of Yuhao-sama's creations despite being the lowest grade.
"Just some artifacts. I can still afford them to give to my friends." Robin waved her hand, feeling like those 'rich' young ladies now. She never thought flaunting wealth would be this satisfying.
"..." Nami.
"..." Brook.
Brook caressed the guitar lovingly, "I will take good care of it."
"By the way, what's the matter with those people in the sky?"
Robin shared what she had done, leaving Brook speechless.
"They are Celestial Dragons? Back then, Captain Luffy only smacked one on the face once, and we got intercepted by the Admiral right after."
"Robin, is it okay to be this reckless?"
Robin poured herself a cup of tea and answered casually. "It's alright. I'm actually planning to destroy the World Government and their loyal goons."
"Before that, Brook-san. I wanted to invite you to my organization."
"Don't worry, the organization won't restrict your freedom. You will only have to follow my lead."
"Oh? Tell me more." To Brook, Robin's confidence must be with reason.
These artifacts aren't something one could obtain easily. Yet Robin took them out like a bunch of candies.
...
...
Back to District 27.
Luffy and Kuina are walking side to side. They are unaware of the chaos in District 1 and even bought more street foods on their journey.
"I see, I see. So, you're Zoro's childhood friend!" Luffy said after hearing Kuina's brief backstory. "But that's weird... Zoro never mentions you before."
Kuina's eyes flashed with hesitation before replying, "Maybe because he thought I was dead."
"Hmm... But you look alive, though?" Luffy was confused.
He ate his roasted squid with gusto and squinted his eyes. No matter how dumb Luffy was, he could see Kuina was breathing and moving.
Kuina rolled her eyes, "Of course, I'm alive, you idiot. I said Zoro thought I was dead. I never died, obviously! I was going to train with my Master!"
"Owh..." Luffy nodded, not understanding one bit. He only knew Kuina was alive, and everything was good to him.
Kuina frowned and glanced at District 1's direction. "Huh? Robin is doing something..."
"Oh, Robin? Robin is here, where?" Luffy looked around, using his free hand as a cover for his eyes to see further.
Kuina pointed her finger and replied, "There. It's chaotic, though. I can see people running around in panic."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go look for Robin!" Luffy grabbed Kuina by her robe and ran toward District 1.
"Damn it! You idiot, Don't grab my robe! It is my Master's gift!" Kuina was helpless.
Unknown to Luffy and Kuina, they missed their target by a few seconds.
At one of the ships in the port, a green-haired man in a green robe yawned, awakened from his nap.
He looked around and rubbed his eyes, "Where am I? Did I get lost again?"
"Oh, well. I will ask for directions later."
The green-haired man patted the three swords on his hip, "I wonder if Luffy and others have become stronger."
"Wait, what is that?"
"What's Marines' Warship doing here???" He stared at the giant ship approaching his location.
At the warship's haul, Fujitora stared at Zoro and narrowed his head a little, "You're..."
"Pirate Hunter, Zoro! Admiral, he's from Strawhat Pirate!" shouted Fujitora's attendant.
Zoro grabbed the hilt of his katana, "Old Man, you have some dangerous aura around you..."
"What about due-!"
Fujitora chuckled, "Haha, challenging an Admiral, you have guts. I like to teach you a lesson, but I'm in a hurry."
"We will see if we can meet again later, young man."
After saying that, Fujitora floated away from the warship, charging at the District One.
"..." Zoro watched the blind Admiral disappear into black dots dumbly.
Did I just get rejected?
