Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Crash..."

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky.

A medium-sized warship was moving slowly on the sea.

A tall, energetic young figure lay lazily on the beach chair at the bow of the ship.

Behind him, there was a parasol erected.

"Gah..." 

A News Coo flew down on the warship while holding a newspaper.

"Oh? Today's newspaper?"

Luke opened his eyes, yawned lazily, and said nonchalantly: "If nothing else happens, the two of us should be on the headlines, right?"

Because there is no rush to meet up with Perona, Hogback, and others.

He also brought along Robin, who was still considering and did not immediately give an answer about whether she was willing to follow him, so he had a temporary vacation.

He didn't want to wrong himself anymore, as he had done before when he flew on the entire journey.

Instead, he took the stolen warship and traveled slowly and leisurely.

After all, why not be alone with a beauty like Robin?

It's just a treasure; there's no rush to get it.

There's no need to push himself so hard.

Luke naturally knows.

Take Robin's past experiences as an example.

Being so hesitant and not directly agreeing to join his team is enough to prove a point.

She never wanted to take advantage of him, Obask Luke!

Otherwise, she has been struggling and surviving alone in the underworld for these years, constantly joining those ambitious forces, and when those forces encountered crises, she betrayed and left without hesitation.

"After all, you killed the base commander of the G-2 branch; it's not an ordinary Vice-Admiral..."

Robin, wearing a denim outfit and sexy, threw a coin and caught the newspaper thrown by the News Coo.

Glancing at the two bounties sandwiched inside, she looked at Luke in surprise with her jewel-like eyes: "Ah, your bounty has more than doubled; it became 500 million Belly!"

She saw Luke's bounty first.

The photo has been changed, and she doesn't know who took it.

The background looked like it was on Lanka Island, and his handsome face was clearly photographed.

The amount above is even more jaw-dropping, a total of 500 million Belly, regardless of life or death.

"Um?"

Turning to the second bounty sheet.

Robin's eyes narrowed, and she felt helpless: "My bounty actually became 100 million Belly..."

She has always deliberately kept a low profile and is unwilling to attract the attention of the world government.

As a result, the bounty inevitably increased.

Now, she can't even think about living in peace.

"What's so strange about this..."

Luke shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I guess the strength you showed yesterday has attracted Marine's attention..."

"And don't forget, you are now with an ambitious and wanton criminal like me. In the eyes of the World Government and Marine, the level of danger has obviously increased by more than one level!"

"To be honest, I'm curious…"

Looking at Luke's handsome face.

There was a smile on Robin's beautiful face.

She blinked and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly betray the world government?"

Although she doesn't know what the future holds.

But she still decided to stay with him for the time being.

But they only got along for less than a day.

Robin found that instead of feeling uncomfortable, she felt surprisingly at ease.

This little man, who was full of mystery and several years younger than herself, gave her an indescribable sense of security.

She can only sigh secretly.

Humans are, after all, social creatures.

Even when she thinks she can no longer trust others easily.

In her heart, she still longs for a friend she can truly trust completely.

"Actually, I have never thought about staying in the World Government and being a dog to those Celestial Dragons…"

Luke didn't mean to hide it and said directly: 

"The reason why I stay in CP quitely is just to learn physical skills and Haki so that I can become stronger quickly!"

"Yeah?"

Robin was surprised.

After thinking of something, she asked curiously: "Haki? Is it the power you used to stun those Marines just with a glare?"

"That is Conqueror Haki. It is an innate power that cannot be obtained through practice... It is a qualification of a king that only a few people among countless people can possess!"

"Qualifications of a king?"

Robin raised an eyebrow.

But thinking about the scenes yesterday on Lanka Island, Luke could easily stun thousands of battle-hardened and well-trained Marines with just a glare from the rooftop.

Compared to such a shocking performance, this description is quite appropriate.

"This is just one of the functions of Conqueror Haki..."

"In this sea, there are only a few strong people who can truly master it perfectly and exert greater power... Including me now, I am still figuring it out!"

While saying that, Luke took the opportunity to popularize science about Haki.

He also briefly introduced Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

"I see... In addition to Devil Fruit, there is such a magical power in this sea."

After listening to Luke's introduction, Robin was amazed.

She really didn't expect that in addition to the Devil Fruit, there's also such power as Haki that can rival it.

"If you are interested, I will teach you how to use Armament and Observation Haki."

Luke said with a smile.

He already knows Robin's current strength.

She has mastered the five physical skills of Shave, Moonwalk, Tempest Kick, Paper Arts, and Finger Pistol, among the six superhuman fighting skills.

The only thing missing is "Iron Body," which she hasn't mastered yet.

But she's already qualified to practice Haki…

"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now..."

Seeing Robin was very curious, and Luke didn't mind resolving her doubts and continued: "I didn't plan to betray the World Government so soon, but as the top executive of CP9, Spandam wants me to be an undercover agent… it may take several years, I don't want to waste time, so I refuse!"

"But he didn't agree, so you just killed him?" Robin asked with a smile.

"No, originally he agreed…"

Luke shrugged and said with a sneer: "But unfortunately, his father happened to come over to Enies Lobby and saw that his son had to give in because of the opinions of a subordinate."

"He directly vetoed my opinion and tried to threaten me..."

Robin suddenly realized.

In this situation, based on the other person's character.

On the premise of having the ability to protect himself, it's not surprising that he made such a decision.

Luke spread his arms and said nonchalantly: "So, I turned around and killed the father and son, grabbed the two Devil Fruits that were to be transported to Mary Geoise, and defected directly!

Speaking of which.

He thought of something; he looked at Robin in front of him and added unhurriedly: "However, you should be happy. To a certain extent, I helped you get revenge!"

"Help me take revenge?"

Robin blinked.

Does it mean that she is often hunted by CP?

"Maybe you don't know, right? Spandam's father, Spandine, was the former CP9 chief, and your mother, Olvia, was arrested by him... Your hometown, Ohara."

"He was also the one responsible for summoning the Buster Call at that time!"

Like thunder, it exploded in Robin's ears.

She couldn't help being completely shocked, and her jewel-like eyes were wide open.

She looks at Luke in disbelief, unable to calm down: "You… are you telling the truth?"

Her voice was already a little choked, and tears were accumulating in her eyes.

Memories of scenes from the past inevitably came to her mind again.

"Well, but Spandine is only a small player. The real culprits of Ohara's destruction must be those who control the highest power of the World… or from the root, it is the World government!"

Although looking at it from his perspective.

Those scholars in Ohara are indeed seeking death.

But I'm sorry, the butt determines the head.

He is not on the side of world government now.

Of course, he prefers Robin, the beautiful, intellectual big sister.

As my chief enemy, the world government is evil, corrupt, and cruel.

He said it!

No one can change it!

Future history books will also say the same thing!
