Chapter 277 Arrangement of x work

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands?" Nicole Robin asked in surprise.

She was a little panicked and wanted to run away immediately.

In the past year, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has become a household name throughout the West Sea.

At first, people were shocked by its ability to defeat the pirate coalition.

Then, I was shocked by its wealth that rivaled that of a country.

Even though Nico Robin was busy on the run, she had heard of the name of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a member of the World Government. Nicole Robin would never have thought that the Kingdom of the Netherlands would dare to recruit her, the "son of the devil", without telling the World Government.

"Yes!" Xia Jieren introduced again: "The force you will join in the future is the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"Aren't you going to hand me over to the World Government?" Nico Robin asked warily.

"Haha~" Xia Jieren burst out laughing.

He said sarcastically, "What is the World Government? Why should we work for it?"

Then, he said to Nico Robin: "You may have a misunderstanding about the relationship between the member countries and the World Government."

“The relationship between us is similar to the relationship between the Mafia and the shops.”

"We pay protection fees, and the World Government promises not to come to my territory to cause trouble."

Xia Jieren's words clearly revealed the relationship between the member states and the World Government.

"Really?" Nico Robin looked puzzled.

Xia Jieren asked with a smile: "Have you ever come into contact with the underground world during your escape?"

"I have come into contact with it." Nico Robin said honestly.

Not only had she come into contact with it, but she had also gained a lot of valuable intelligence from the underground world.

Who makes her Hana-Hana Fruit so advantageous in gathering intelligence?

"Is it the ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit?" Xia Jieren smiled.

Nico Robin remained silent.

Xia Jieren didn't care at all and continued to ask, "How does the underground world evaluate our Kingdom of the Netherlands?"

Nicole Robin paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Powerful, wealthy, and mysterious."

"Haha, mysterious? Indeed it is." Xia Jieren chuckled twice.

He asked again: "Do you know where this mystery came from?"

"I heard that many forces wanted to send spies into the Kingdom of the Netherlands but failed, and instead suffered heavy losses." Nicole Robin said, recalling the complaints she heard in the underground world.

"Not many, but all forces." Xia Jieren refuted, and then said confidently: "You will understand in the future. As long as you stay in the Netherlands Kingdom, the World Government will not be able to know your location."

Then, he suppressed his laughter and said, "Besides, I believe that few people can recognize you in your current appearance."

"Haha~"

"Cough! Cough!"

Xia Jieren tried hard to hold back his laughter until he coughed.

The corners of Nico Robin's mouth twitched, but she pretended not to care.

But a little devil had already appeared in her heart, and she remembered it clearly: on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, she was ridiculed by Xia Jieren because of her dress.

Just as Nico Robin was secretly thinking about how to take revenge on Xia Jieren, Xia Jieren said, "Even if the World Government finds out that you are in the Netherlands Kingdom, it won't matter."

"As long as our Kingdom of the Netherlands protects you and pays a little bit of benefits, they will turn a blind eye."

"Impossible?" Nicole Robin stared at Xia Jieren and said in disbelief.

Xia Jieren paused, turned his head and looked at Nico Robin, and said seriously: "Nothing is impossible."

Nico Robin was still puzzled and said, "I am a wanted criminal by the World Government. How could they let me go so easily?"

Xia Jieren asked back: "Why is the World Government hunting you? Is it because you sank six warships?"

"Stop kidding, anyone with a normal brain knows this is fake."

"The main reason the World Government is after you is because they don't want anyone studying history from eight hundred years ago."

"Because you might pursue that history, the World Government will not let you go easily. They want to kill you as a warning to others."

Xia Jieren continued to walk forward, and Nico Robin lowered her head and followed Xia Jieren's footsteps.

Suddenly, Xia Jieren sighed and said, "It's such a pity for those doctors at O'Hara."

Thinking of the tree of omniscience that had been burned down, Xia Jieren looked regretful.

"Do you think it's right to pursue history?" Nicole Robin asked confusedly.

Xia Jieren glanced at the confused Nico Robin and said with a smile: "It's certainly right to pursue history."

"Then..." Nico Robin hadn't finished her words yet.

Xia Jieren then continued, "But the premise is to ensure your own safety."

"I don't agree with what Dr. O'Hara and his colleagues are doing."

"The World Government has strictly prohibited it. They have neither the strength nor the protection. If they continue the research, wouldn't that be a stepping stone for the World Government to establish its authority?"

"Until we have the power to fight against the World Government, we should just stay calm and do our research."

"If the world government is overthrown one day, then no one will care what historians and archaeologists do with their research."

Nico Robin lowered her head in thought.

After a long moment, she raised her head, stared at Xia Jieren, and said, "You may be right, but I will never give up the pursuit of history."

"Haha~, whatever you say." Xia Jieren smiled and thought to himself, "This is more like you, Nico Robin."

After exchanging a few words with Nicole Robin, Xia Jieren said this time: "I have been talking for so long, but I haven't taken you to the place where you will work in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, a space portal appeared out of thin air.

Under Nico Robin's surprised gaze, Xia Jieren stepped in.

"Let's go!" Xia Jieren urged Nicole Robin who was standing there.

"Okay!" Nico Robin quickly followed.

In a flash, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

Nico Robin looked around curiously and asked, "Is this the palace?"

Xia Jieren nodded slightly and walked straight to the palace library with Nico Robin.

On the way, Nico Robin couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Was that a devil fruit ability just now?"

"That's right! That's the ability of the superhuman Door-Door Fruit. It can open a door anywhere." Xia Jieren briefly explained the ability of the Door-Door Fruit.

While chatting, they soon arrived at the library of the palace.

The palace library is antique and full of charm.

At the same time, the library has a large collection of books, but they are all books of little value.

"This is where you will be working from now on." Xia Jieren introduced: "If you need an assistant, you can ask the maids for help."

"Okay!" Nicole Robin nodded. She kept looking at the library full of books, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"If O'Hara were still here, I would be reading a book in the Tree of All-Knowing by now." Nicole Robin thought.
