Chapter 241: 2 years later... Monkey D. Luffy!
A few days after the Rogue Town incident.
Arthur took Robin back to the West Sea.
On the boundless sea.
“Tell me, why did you wander off on your own when I told you to stay with Bucky?”
On the deck of a brand new boat, Arthur grabbed Robin by the collar and questioned her.
Hearing Arthur finally speak after being silent for a few days, Robin also hurriedly responded to him:
"I...I...that person said he would take me to see the truth with my own eyes. When I saw that it was you who killed my mother in the video, I lost consciousness..."
"Have you found the truth...?"
"I have no idea…"
Having seen the Navy's video footage with her own eyes, she was unable to give Arthur a direct answer.
When Arthur heard this, he threw her violently in front of him onto the deck.
"Ugh... cough... cough cough!" Robin fell and covered his chest and coughed violently.
"Then go and look for the so-called truth. After experiencing countless cruel beatings from reality, keep looking for what you believe." Arthur turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Robin didn't care about the discomfort, and hurriedly got up and ran to the side of the boat, crawled to him and stretched out his hand, shouting heartbreakingly:
"Don't abandon me, Arthur! Please! You said you would protect me...!"
She pleaded with Arthur in an almost choking voice.
However, Arthur did not turn around to look at her.
Bang! Arthur left at a speed of one hundred meters per step, and with every step, blood on his body dripped into the sea.
What he experienced this month made him feel dazed, as if it had been centuries since he last experienced it.
The knife handle at the waist no longer has the suction force, and there is no furry down eagle by his side anymore.
Arthur's experience in Rogue Town made him realize firsthand that even someone as strong as Roger would be hunted down.
It turns out that no pirate group or demon group can survive with that kind of lineup.
New World, Egghead.
In Vegapunk's laboratory, Arthur was wearing a cloak, standing next to an experimental bed, gently squeezing Cooper's neck.
On the stage lay the seriously injured Cooper, his eyes never leaving Arthur's sight, crying out in pain:
"Cooper..." (Arthur, I'm so scared... I can't move...)
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to watch over you." Arthur spoke to comfort it.
"Cooper...?" (Will I die... Will you forget me after I die...?)
"No, you won't die. I will never forget you."
"Cooper." (I want to fly in the endless forest and return to the natural life I used to live.)
Cooper groaned unwillingly, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Arthur, I never thought you would come to see me." Vegapunk, dressed in white, stood next to Arthur and looked at him in disbelief.
"You owe me one, Vegapunk, save it."
"Arthur, just inject your bloodline factor into it, and the injury will naturally heal."
"Then do it."
"Just lie down on the dissection bed next to him, and cooperate with me in the rest of the operation."
Arthur didn't think at all to save Cooper.
Let Vegapunk insert the needle into the body, extract active blood, and create bloodline factors.
"Arthur, after extracting the active cells, you must leave Egghead."
"I won't hold you back, but you better keep it alive."
"I can guarantee that."
……
It took a year to hide from the world government and try every possible means to avoid being hunted down.
He used his own powerful strength to deal with the highest combat power of the government and destroyed all the life cards in the government and navy that possessed his life cards.
He then spent eight years wandering the sea, and his active reputation gradually disappeared in every corner of the ocean.
It became an amazing legend that people often talked about when they were drunk.
Decades later.
It is the middle of 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar.
New world, Kingdom of Dressrosa.
Outside the outdoor swimming pool in the Royal Palace, Doflamingo was lying on a bench reading the latest World Economic Newspaper:
"Monkey D. Luffy, bounty of 3 million? D...?"
Doflamingo was quite interested in some pirate news from the East China Sea.
The word "Monkey" made a deep impression on him.
……
In the Kingdom of Alabasta, inside the office of Baroque Works under the command of the Ice Blade.
28-year-old Robin brought the newspaper to the president Crocodile.
"Monkey... D? A super rookie." Crocodile looked at the little character in the newspaper:
"Do you pay much attention to him, Missall Sunday?"
"Well, it's hard not to pay attention to this name."
"Compared to what you care about, I care more about whether the man who protected you is dead or not."
Hearing this question, the mature Robin behaved very naturally. She had experienced all kinds of life after leaving Arthur.
"All the forces and people I have contacted have disappeared, miss 0." Robin responded to his question.
"Forget it, that happened 20 years ago." Crocodile looked at her with disdain, lit a cigarette for himself, and picked up the newspaper:
"This is a brand new era, and the remnants of the old era are doomed to perish."
Robin agreed with this statement.
Today's three admirals of the navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea are much stronger than those of the previous era.
Later, Kaido challenged various major forces, defeated big pirates such as Wang Zhi and Silver Axe, and won the title of the strongest creature.
Among them, the most dazzling Red Hair Pirates challenged the Golden Lion Pirates and were promoted to become the new Four Emperors.
During these twenty years, the supernovas of twenty years ago have become the maritime overlords of the new world.
Famous.
"But why was the organization called Ice Blade established?" Robin thought to himself, very surprised.
Arthur disappeared for twenty years, twenty whole years.
Not only all the major dark forces in the West Sea are members.
Even the New World and many non-member countries, as well as the Four Emperors, are secretly trading with the Ice Blade organization for the sake of profit.
The Baroque Works Society is one of the branches of the assassination organization.
When she thought of Arthur, endless guilt suddenly flooded into her heart.
Suddenly, Robin saw a white-headed eagle with its wings spread outside the window behind Crocodile, landing on a coconut tree outside the house, staying there for a few seconds and then flying away.
Robin's eyes widened, and he hurried out of the house, saying goodbye to Crocodile:
"I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll take my leave, miss 0."
……
North Sea, extremely cold port.
"D?" The captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law, was checking the latest daily newspaper.
"What are you doing?" At this time, a very beautiful woman suddenly bent down and approached his neck to ask:
"Monkey D. Luffy, a bounty of thirty million Baileys?"
Her face was very close to Luo's, which made Luo angry and blushing as he cursed at her:
"Hey...! Hongye, can you please keep some distance from me?"
"What's wrong?" Luo's words made Hongye even more complacent.
"Oh! I'm not a child anymore, you bastard, Hongye!" Luo stood up and yelled at her:
"How come you have remained the same in the past twenty years? You have only aged a little bit, just a little bit!"
He used his fingertips to indicate Hongye's aging appearance.
Compared to when they met again on Minien Island twenty years ago, she just looked less girlish.
To Luo, Hongye is now a mature big sister.
"I'm well maintained." Hongye replied, lifting her hair.
"You are already a middle-aged grandmother of 45...46 years old, right? Damn it... don't come near me!" Luo's face flushed and he quickly pushed her away.
It's snowing heavily in Arctic Harbor, and the climate has not changed in decades.
"Hahahaha, the deputy captain and the captain have a really good relationship." A white bear laughed under the pirate ship.
He was walking towards the boat with supplies in his arms.
Hongye turned to look at him after hearing it: "Bebo, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm really sorry, Captain!" Hearing Hongye's question, Bepo naturally put down the wooden box in his hand and bowed to her to apologize.
"Don't bully Bepo, Hongye." Luo put down the newspaper and talked about business:
"Doflamingo asked us to go back to Dressrosa."
"I'm afraid I can't go. I have to leave the Heart Pirates, Law."
"Ah?!" Luo was shocked when he heard the news: "Why? Just because you were treated as a maid, the navy didn't put a bounty on you?"
"No, I'm old now, and I want to live a stable life with a man."
"Ah?" Luo exclaimed again.
His eyes scanned her entire body.
She has a beautiful and curvy figure and a gorgeous face. She looks so young, how can she be old at all?
"After taking care of you for twenty years, Master Luo, I have to retire."
"But why is it so sudden, Hongye... You left me unprepared."
This sudden farewell made Luo very reluctant.
He has been eating the other person's cooking for twenty years and has been together for twenty years. If the other person suddenly leaves, he will be very uncomfortable.
"What? Are you reluctant to let me leave, little boy?" Hongye smiled sinisterly and teased him.
"Of course... everyone will be reluctant to let go." Luo said sincerely.
He still takes this problem very seriously.
"But you want to pursue your dreams, right?" Hongye said to him again:
"I can only cook and clean. I have no fighting ability at all. I will become a burden to you."
"I will continue to protect you!" Luo interrupted her hastily and shouted:
"I don't mind."
"Okay, but you can't give me what I want, Xiao Luo." Hongye patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"In my mind, you are just a child."
Every time he was patted on the head like this, Luo would feel inexplicably comfortable and happy.
"I've already told you I'm all grown up! Stop treating me like a little brat, you bastard!"
In order to save face, Luo bared his teeth and cursed at Hongye.
He has a special feeling for Hongye, but there is a huge gap between them in terms of relationship and seniority.
Make it difficult for him to overcome.
"Then show that you are not a child anymore?" Hongye stopped stroking his head, grabbed his hand, placed it on her chest and stared at him:
"Like, for me?"
All the members of the Heart Pirates were startled, and all showed expectant expressions, quietly looking at them from a distance.
"This is not the first or second time that the deputy captain has made such a joke."
"Hehehe, I really hope she teases me like that, it's so beautiful."
"Well, didn't you guys notice that?" Bepo suddenly interrupted everyone:
"Every time the deputy captain smiles, it's scary."
