Chapter 164 Nico Robin's Daily Life

Under Logie's fierce gaze, Robin entered the simple room in front of him.

He quickly walked to the sink and washed the dishes that had been piled there for several days.

"Instead of caring about these pirates, you might as well learn how to make money and repay us for raising you, Robin!" said Roger, entering the room with a newspaper.

Sitting in the house in front of the fire chair next to Uncle Robin Oran.

He casually placed the newspaper in his hand on the edge of the stove.

"What is this?" Orlan reached out and picked up the newspaper in front of him and took a look: "O'Hara Expedition..."

Seeing these words, Olang recalled the instructions given by Olbia to him when he left O'Hara about six years ago.

He turned to look at Robin, who was standing on a stool in front of the kitchen sink, washing dishes.

An irrepressible feeling surged into his mind.

I seem to remember that I promised to take good care of Robin or something...

But he gradually became annoyed with the life of raising a wife and daughter on an island like O'Hara, where wages were extremely low.

He began to vent his dissatisfaction in life on Robin together with Roger.

From then on, I habitually used this niece as a tool to vent my anger...

In the newspaper, there is a rumor that Golden Lion, one of the Four Emperors, has gone into seclusion and has begun researching biotechnology.

Beehive Island is constantly invaded by pirates, who seem to want to take over Beehive Island by force, but they are stopped by Wang Zhi and Silver Axe.

"This man... has been appearing in newspapers since he was a teenager. Every time there is an incident involving him, it makes the headlines." Orlan said while looking at the newspaper.

Robin, who was washing dishes nearby, listened quietly and became very interested in Arthur's photo on the headline of the newspaper.

About ten minutes later.

Robin activated the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit devil fruit and finished all the housework in the Oran household.

When the messy room became clean and tidy, she came to Aolan, put her hands in front of her stomach, lowered her head and said:

"Uncle, now that I have finished my chores, can I have something to eat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Robin's stomach made a "gurgling" sound of hunger.

Olang, who was in front of the stove, heard it and put aside his serious expression to look at her: "Okay, since you have finished your housework."

"Thank you, uncle!" Robin immediately became happy when he heard that he could eat.

This made Luo Ji, who was standing by, feel a little uncomfortable. He thought, "You are so happy after just one meal. If I starve you for a few more meals...wouldn't you be happier?"

An evil thought began to grow in Roger's mind.

Aolang brought a bowl of rice and a bowl of pickled vegetables to Robin and said, "Robin, eat. You can continue to work only when you are full."

"Uncle..." Robin hurriedly took the food, stared at Orlan with wide eyes and asked, "Is that the expedition team in the newspaper the one that the mothers went out with six years ago?"

"I don't know either. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing." Aolan said to her, "You just need to come back in the afternoon and finish your housework, and your uncle will prepare a meal for you."

Robin squatted in the corner of the house with the meal in his hand, put the pickled mustard on the ground and started to eat with satisfaction.

A meal is a very rare supply for her now.

"But mom..."

"Robin! Olbia abandoned you. I took great pains to raise you. You will serve our family for the rest of your life. Do you understand?!"

Robin wanted to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by Oran, who suddenly raised his voice.

"Oh..." Robin was helpless. Now he had no ability to support himself, so he could only pretend to accept this treatment with pleasure.

In front of Roger's smile and Orlan's serious expression, she buried her head in eating the only food she had for the day.

"Obviously, my uncle wasn't like this at the beginning..." She began to think, "Why is he so strict with me now... Am I a burden?"

A pessimistic attitude gradually filled her heart.

As night fell, Robin returned to his own hut without even a blanket, holding a newspaper. He sat on the dirty boat with his legs folded, looking out the window at the moonlit sky.

"What is it like beyond the sea? Is it really as beautiful as the doctors said?" Robin said as he picked up a newspaper beside him.

Staring at Arthur's bloody face through the moonlight, he asked, "But...why does this pirate always look so miserable every time he appears in the news headlines?"

"Does he have any friends? What does he go through in a day? Why are there so many injuries? Is it from the battle?"

Curious about external things, and extremely curious about Arthur who frequently appears in newspapers.

"He is in the same situation as I am now... Is it miserable?" When Robin thought of this, tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily.

He lay on his side, hugged his legs, and cried softly in his little room.

She fell asleep while crying.

The next morning.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Robin was awakened by the cold air and hurriedly got up and went to the river in the town to wash his face.

She scooped up water from the O'Hara canal that connected it to the sea and poured it over her face.

The cool and refreshing feeling also made her stare at her reflection in the water.

"monster!"

"Get out of O'Hara, you multi-armed weirdo!"

Robin, who was immersed in his own world, was suddenly hit on the back of his head by a stone.

She covered the back of her head and turned around, and saw a group of children throwing stones at her.

“…” Robin ran away with his head in his hands, unable to understand why he was treated like this.

At 7 o'clock on the dot, she came to the All-Knowing Tree wearing her usual dirty and thin jumpsuit.

Dr. Clover was standing at the agreed location waiting for her to arrive.

"Doctor!" Robin saw Clover Kroba, smiled widely and ran towards him and asked, "What are we learning today?"

"History, history, history! Robin, we only study history!" As usual, Kloba picked her up and put her on his shoulders and walked into the All-Knowing Tree.

He was very confident in her learning talent and even thought she was a literary monster.

"Hey, Doctor, I actually want to know about the history of the Survival War."

"Then I will tell you today about the Ruskena Ruins Kingdom that Wufeng brought with him."

"Ruskaina?"

"About four hundred years ago, there was a powerful country on that island, but an accidental natural disaster befell that island, causing severe climate changes every day."

"Extreme cold, extreme heat, sulfuric acid, windstorms, sandstorms, hail and other 48 extreme climates..."

Cloba told Robin the history of an island overseas.

Robin listened very carefully, and soon got over his miserable daily life and focused on studying wholeheartedly.

After studying for a whole morning, she returned to the plains outside the town after class at the All-Knowing Tree.

Looking up at the sky with satisfaction, I found a large group of seagulls flying towards me.

"It seems that it is because of our arrival that seagulls appear here more frequently every day, little girl." Captain Tianzheng of the Naval Search Bureau said while standing beside Robin.

Robin turned his head to look at him warily, and found that he was looking up at the sky with a smile on his face.

The newspapers were quickly dropped from the newspaper delivery seagulls.

She and Tianzheng each picked up one.

When he opened the newspaper, he found that the headline was about Arthur defeating a modern supernova pirate with a bounty of over 100 million.

“Is this true… You’re really too much of a troublemaker, Arthur.” Tian Zheng narrowed his eyes seriously and commented.

Seeing the other party's tone, Robin seemed to know Arthur, so he asked:

"Do you know him, uncle?"

Hearing this, Tianzheng was stunned.

He looked down at the little Robin and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Interest... no... intuition tells me that you have seen him in person, right?" Robin is very confident in his observation ability.

Such words surprised Tianzheng a little.

The other party could actually detect and analyze from the tone of voice that he had met Arthur?

Tian Zheng didn't know if it was an illusion, so he asked again: "Little girl, are you interested in this man?"

Robin nodded: "Yeah!"

"Why?" Tian Zheng wanted to know what Robin's interest in Arthur was.

"He appears in newspapers very often, and each time he appears with a miserable and indifferent look. What on earth does he go through every day?" Robin said with great curiosity.

“Haha, maybe after the battle, he is recovering from his injuries.” Tian Zheng laughed, “After recovering, he is looking for battle again…”

"Does he like fighting so much?" Robin asked doubtfully.

"No..." Tian Zheng's tone became serious, and he answered Robin: "He had no choice. To be precise, he is not a good person, nor a bad person. He is a pitiful person with a completely closed heart."

Poor guy...

When Robin heard this, he thought about his own life and asked, "Am I as pitiful as you?"

"Ah... little girl, is your life miserable?" Tian Zheng was amused by Robin's words.

"Don't laugh! I... don't understand why I am always alone and everyone hates me. How long will it take for this kind of life to end?" Robin wanted to complain.

But considering the other person's emotions, he was unwilling to share his negative emotions with Tianzheng.

"If you compare this experience with his..." Tian Zheng held his chin and thought, then said casually: "It's like a small witch meeting a big witch."

"What do you mean?" Robin didn't understand.

"To put it in a metaphor, compared to him, you live in a fairyland." Tian Zheng explained to her patiently.

Robin couldn't believe it and looked at her worn-out dress: "Wonderland?"

"Yes."

"What about him?"

"A world more terrifying than hell." After saying this, Tianzheng walked towards the town.

As he watched Amanemasa walk away, Robin tried to absorb the knowledge from the conversation.

"Sister!" A beautifully dressed little girl threw a small stone at Robin who was absorbing knowledge.

The stone hit Robin's left cheek, causing her to cover her face in pain and look at the man: "Miziila, why did you attack me?"

"Attack? This is a reward, sister. As long as you take good care of me, you can eat delicious food at mother's house every day." Miziila said to her in a condescending manner.

Around her, there were many friends who played with her, and they laughed at Robin together with Yoneira.

Yoneira is Robin's cousin and the biological daughter of Logie and Oran.

"We... can obviously get along well and be friends, why do you treat me like this...?" Robin was a little unwilling and yelled at Miziila and her friends.

"Huh? Who wants to be friends with a monster like you?"

"What on earth are you with so many hands? Are you human?"

Hearing these words, Robin took the newspaper and ran to a remote place where no one was around.

Endless grievances and confusion appeared in her heart.

It was not until sunset that she was hungry and unable to return to the doorstep of her home in the small town of Orlan.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I smelled the delicious food.

"Robin, you're back?" Roger saw Robin standing outside the door, and he seemed to be in a good mood today.

He hurriedly let her into the house, gave her a bowl of food as usual, and asked her to eat in the corner.

It was like Oran, Roger, and Miziila at the dinner table were from two completely different worlds.

"Mom, do you want to enroll my sister in school as well?" Miziila asked in a hypocritical manner.

Seeing his daughter so kind, Aolang put down his chopsticks and said, "You are so kind. Where does our family get the money to send her to school, Miziyila?"

"That's right, we don't have money to support her, and just feeding her is just one more mouth to feed!" Orlang's wife Roger added.

This made Robin, who was already somewhat unwilling, stand up suddenly and walk towards his dirty little room with the food.

While crying, she ate rice and pickles to maintain her body functions.

Living this kind of life for many years has resulted in her body being able to sustain a day's activities with just this little food.

Considering nutrition, Robin would also go to the wild to find some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger.

As the countdown to O'Hara's demise approaches, Robin continues to live a miserable childhood filled with tears day after day.

……

The first half of the Grand Line: Paradise.

On the endless dark sea, the majestic waves are rolling like dragons in the storm.

On the deck of the small boat Arthur was on, several captured sailors were manning the sails and rudders in the storm, supervised by Cooper.

Inside the cabin, the oil lamp flickered continuously. Arthur sat on the bed wrapped in animal skins and stared out the window:

"Whoever dares to be lazy will be kicked down to feed the fish, Cooper."

"No, we don't want to die!" The sailors wailed, not daring to resist at all.

They all looked towards the roof of the cabin. There were already several human-shaped ice sculptures of marines nailed on it as decorations.

Cooper supervised them, his sharp eyes looking out over the dark sea.

A woman wearing a light white coat and long straight white hair was found floating in the sea.

It seemed to know that person, the woman who had saved it and Arthur several years ago.

I think her name is Olbia? Cooper has a very good memory and quickly determined that the floating white-haired woman is her.

"Cooper?" (Arthur, there is a woman in the sea far away, do you want to save her?)

"Let her die instead of saving her. Why should I save someone I don't know?" Arthur's voice came from the cabin.

"Cooper..." (But that woman seemed to have saved our lives several years ago, her name seemed to be Olbia or something)

Hearing the name, Arthur sat up in bed: "Olbia?"

boom!

The hatch was opened by Arthur, who was wrapped in bright red bandages. He looked out at the dark sea with Cooper.

"Major!" Seeing Arthur coming out, the soldiers who were captured by Arthur and forced to do hard labor saluted him, trying to please him.

Whoosh!

After hearing this, Arthur quickly swung his knife and the head of a marine who took the lead in trying to please him was cut off.

"Ah——!" The soldiers screamed upon seeing this and hurried back to work.

No one expected that such an attitude would not please Arthur, but would instead bring about fatal disaster.

"Throw the body down and rescue the woman." Arthur stroked Cooper's wet eagle head.

"Is the O'Hara tragedy about to happen?" he thought to himself, wondering what it would mean to meet Nicole Olbia at this time.

However, the other party had saved him before, so he should repay the favor.
