Chapter -47 - 22: Date with Nico Robin 2 (1/2)

”So, will you be my girlfriend?”

His question dropped like a bomb towards Nico Robin. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Usually, people will took the time and choose the most pleasing words for the girl.

Yet, here he is, with such a straightforward approach. He used the most plain words but those plain words manage to melt Robin's heart. But she still wanted a confirmation, so he inquired him.

”Did you really want me to be your girlfriend? You do know that Marines and the World Government hunting for me. Right now, I am like a burden towards you. I didn't want to increase the burden on you by being in a close relationship with you.”

Narmi just guffawed loudly with her questions. He then proceed to answer her.

”Robin, Marines or World Government, nobody will dare to touch you as long as I am here to protect you. You are not a burden towards me, but you are my responsibility. Rather if you are here with me, even if the 5 Elders came to captured you, I will not allowed them as you are my source of strength.”

Her face flushed with his words. Tears began to welled up in her eyes. For how many years she had been on the run, right now she had truly felt freedom.

Not only that, but he who was the one that had gave her the freedom, had also said that he wanted to protect her. Tears of happiness started to trickle down her fair cheeks.

Narmi who saw her tears started to drop down, woke up from his kneeling and hugged her in a hurry. He tried to calmed her down thinking that maybe this is too much for her and he got rejected.

But much to his bewilderment, Robin reciprocated his act by hugging him tightly as if she doesn't want to let him go. He who was 195cm tall look towards her. Feeling his gaze, she also look towards him and their eyes meet with each other.

After a bout of stares, they started kissing in front of everyone. The crowd of onlookers cheered when they saw the scene unfolding towards a happy ending. Never could they expect, a ruthless man was so sweet to her woman. Nami who had watched from before, also cheered loudly showing her supports towards their relationship.

After a few seconds, their lips parted and just lowered their head in embarrassment when the crowds cheered for them. Robin who was unfamiliar with the attention given towards her, move closer towards Narmi.

Noticing her uneasiness, he swiftly pick her up in a princess carry, and left the area. Nami just grinned watching them, as she found something that she could tease the both of them later.

With Narmi and Robin's departure, the crowd started to disperse.
