Chapter 65 (1/2)

Grandline, Paradise, Water 7

”You are hereby put under arrest, 'Devil child' - Nico Robin! If you resist we will respond in kind!” A man, clothed in a white marine coat for higher ranked members, loudly spoke across the small street while a small batallion of his subordinates shuffled into rows upon rows of orderly ranks, guns pointing at their target, who tensed after hearing those words. All the civilians that sat inside the caffee, the duo were eating in, began to panic and some even started to scream due to being in the same direction the marines pointed their guns in, and who could blame them. Most of those people probably had never even seen a gun before, let alone end up at gunpoint.

As Robin tensed in preperation already ingrained into her from her past experiences, her still halfway rational mind made her turn her head to check for Azul's reaction, calming her instantly as the young man kept on eating his enourmous slice of cake, which he had to specially order since his body size was simply not satisfied by the normal portions anymore, a calm smile on his face.

Breathing out, Robin let the tensing of her body receed and a calm look came upon her face in succession.

The captain that had kept a vigilant eye on their target frowned heavily. Why was she relaxing? She had a whole batallion of marines against her!

Mulling it over the captain looked over to her companion and something came to his mind after seeing the young mans face, though he couldn't put his finger onto it.

Keeping a vigilant mind, the captain switched his gaze back onto their original target, though not forgetting her partner, until the silence between the two fronts was once more interrupted by a yelled greeting.

”Roooobiiiiinnnnn deeeeeeeeaaaar, you look so dashing this beautiful morning. May I accompany you through the city my love?” a young blond man with curled eyebrows and eyes shaped like pulsating pink hearts wirled onto the scene, making the batallion of marines sweatdrop in exesperation while the tablepartner of Robin grew a tick mark on his forhead while the right side of his mouth ticked up and down as if in a spasm.

Robin on the other hand smiled at the new arrival, not sure how else she should react.

Her smile made the blonde mans heart jump out of his c.h.e.s.t, while he wirled around Robin, battering her with proclamations of his love and offering her deserts that seemed to appear out of nowhere all of a sudden.

”Enough with this nonsense! Are you coming with us now or do we need to use force?!” The marine captain yelled out in annoyance, making Sanji stop in place and glare at the batallion, before he jumped into action immediately, attacking the marines without warning with wirling kicks that send soldiers flying left and right, stunning the captain momentarily, until he decided to step in and attack the blonde man, transforming his arm into a whip due to having eaten the whip-whip fruit, making it crack in the air, before he pelted the blond man with harsh slashes, ripping the mans jacket at some places, until the man decided to counterattack, forcing the captain into the defense.
