Chapter 336 - 338 (1/2)
The world of Van Pease.
Grand Line.
A girl of eleven or twelve was running down a dark alley, holding in each hand a large bag filled with herbs, meat, and other ingredients, as well as some fruits.
She ran to one of the doors, opened it, and quickly went inside.
The lights were on inside.
Walking down the hall, she entered a clean and tidy living room.
A man was sitting on the sofa in the living room, a book in his hand.
This man with silver-white hair and blue pupils looked to be in his early twenties.
He was so beautiful that he could strike down countless girls at a glance.
”Why did you run so fast?»
He accidentally 'picked up' this eleven-year-old girl when he came to this world.
It could be said that this small and delicate body was more valuable than gold.
Yes.
This may sound a little strange, but it really is.
Because this girl is Nico Robin!
Devil's child, Nico Robin!
Currently, the World Government is giving a bounty of 79 million Belli for her head!
Even in the first half of the Grand Line, few people have such a high reward!
So it's only fitting to say that with such a small body and such a high reward, every inch of her body is worth thousands or tens of thousands of belli.
”Ah ... ah...»
Eleven-year-old Robin put down the bags and sighed heavily, at the same time saying, ”I ran into some stray dogs...»
She met Yeruashi about half a year ago.
At that time, the employer revealed Robin's true identity and betrayed her, intending to hand her over to the Marine Patrol for a reward.
Upon learning of this, Robin immediately ran away, but was injured during the escape, ran into a house in a panic and lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she was in bed.
The wounds were completely healed, and the bloodstained clothes were replaced with a new white shirt.
When she left the room, she saw Yeruashi.
Robin came to the conclusion that Yeruashi did not recognize her as a Child of the Devil and healed her wounds. Realizing that he must be a good person, Robin immediately declared that she was a homeless orphan and began to beg to leave her, saying that she was able to do any job, including cooking well.
Yeruashi, of course, immediately realized that Robin thought he didn't recognize her identity.
Half a year has already passed since that moment.
”Stray dogs?»
Yeruashi smiled at Robin's explanation.
Of course there are no stray dogs, that was just an excuse made up by Robin.
The truth is that during a shopping trip, someone noticed that she looked like the Devil's Child from the flyer and secretly followed her, intending to confirm it.
Noticing this, she made several circles through the tangled alleys of the city, throwing off her pursuers, and quickly returned home.
But Yeruashi didn't say anything about it.
He put the book down and looked at Robin guiltily: ”Why was it necessary to carry all this? The next time you encounter something like this, just throw it all away, although I can certainly cure the bites, but don't waste the pain...»
Yeruashi's words touched Robin's heart.
