At night.
After dealing with his affairs, Robin left through the back door of the banquet as usual.
As the vice president of the Baroque Workshop, Robin's real name was known only to Krogdal. The others only knew her as Miss AllSunday.
Therefore, to avoid any problems with the plan, Robin rarely showed up even at the rain banquet. Only a few people could come into contact with her.
After leaving the banquet, she deliberately wore a purple veil on her face.
"Yo, Miss Robin, are you interested in a chat?”
However, on this day, just as Robin left the banquet as usual and was about to return to her residence in the rain, a voice suddenly entered her ears.
Before she could look in the direction of the voice, a hand had already been placed on her shoulder. A figure that was slightly shorter than her had unknowingly stood beside her. Even she, who was extremely vigilant, did not notice it.
Robin's pupils shrank slightly, and he crossed his arms in front of him without hesitation. It was unknown whether he was frightened by Carl's speed or by Carl calling out his real name."Eight-round Flower, Cramp!"
The petals appeared out of thin air and brushed against Carl's body.
Eight arms grew out of Carl's body, grabbing his neck, arms, and feet respectively, trying to bend his body backward and break his spine, making him unable to move.
But in the next second, Robin's expression under the veil changed again.
Because the feeling from her eight hands told her that she felt as if she was holding something harder than steel.
Even if she used all her strength, she wouldn't be able to move it at all, let alone break it completely.
"Can we talk now?"
Carl ignored Robin's attack and exerted a little force on Robin's shoulder. Robin seemed to have lost control of his body. He wanted to escape, but his feet were fixed by an invisible force and he couldn't take a step forward.
Realizing that he had met a powerful opponent that he could not fight back against, Robin carefully sized up Carl. Then, a hint of despair flashed across his eyes as he nodded with a bitter smile."Of course, Dragon Knight.”
"Amazing, you actually recognized me at a glance.”Karl praised from the bottom of his heart.
"After all, you've been on the World Report twice, a supernova in the bounty hunter world.”
Robin slowly said," When you first appeared on the World Report, our Baroque Workshop had already sent people to recruit you. Unfortunately, we couldn't find you. When we saw your news again, you were already at the Chambord Islands at the end of the first half of the great sea route. I wonder why you are here now?”
Was it because of her?
The possibility seems unlikely
Robin had calmed down and thought about it. She didn't think that her bounty of 79 million Bailey was worth it for Karl to come all the way from Chambord to capture her.
If his information wasn't wrong, the total bounty of the pirates that Karl hunted in Chambord was worth hundreds of millions of Bailey.
Then, why did he suddenly appear here, recognize her, and find her?
"I originally came here to do something.”
Carl didn't know what Robin was thinking, but after seeing how calm she was, he admired her even more. He smiled and said,""But now, I seem to have gained something new.”
Just as Robin thought that Carl had grabbed her casually and that she was just unlucky tonight, Carl suddenly said,"Become my companion, Nicole Robin!”
"Eh?"
Robin was stunned for a few seconds before a question mark popped up on his forehead.
Staring at Carl in a daze, Robin wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.
"Are you wondering why I, a bounty hunter, would recruit a wanted criminal like you?”
Karl asked with a smile, as if he had noticed Robin's confusion.
"Yes."
Robin, who had regained his senses, nodded.
"Because we're the same as you, the same kind of people.”Carl said meaningfully.
Us?
Was the other person the barrier fruit ability user?
Robin thought to himself as he recalled Karl's first appearance on the World Classics, but Carina stole the limelight.
"Then, what is your choice?”Carl didn't explain further and asked directly.
Robin looked at the palm on his shoulder and smiled bitterly."Do I have a choice?"
"Hahaha, no."
Carl laughed and hugged Robin.""Then, please guide me in the future, Sister Robin.”
" Please take care of me, captain's brother."
Robin got into character very quickly. This was an ability that she had trained through countless betrayals.
In her eyes, she had only betrayed Krokdal to save her own life.
If Krogdahl found out that she had betrayed him and chased after Carl to kill him, he would still be the vice president of Baroque Workshop.
As long as Carl didn't capture her to exchange for the bounty.
Betrayal and defection were just common occurrences for Robin.
Robin's life was so sad.
She had been treated as a monster since she was young, and everyone who had been good to her after she was eight years old had all died.
Compared to her, Nami, who had also started stealing at the age of eight, at least had an elder sister and villagers who silently cared for her.
Carl and Carina had each other.
And Robin had nothing.
Even Qing Zhi, who was silently watching her, was a nightmare that she woke up from countless nights.
Carl also knew that Robin was not sincere about joining his ship group, but he did not care.
Just like he said, they were the same kind of people as Robin.
As long as Robin boarded his ship, Carina and Nami would definitely resonate with her.
If she found her true companion, she would become the sister Robin who was willing to sacrifice herself for the Grass Hat Pirates.
It was only a matter of time before Robin joined Carl's fleet.
After completing the first goal, Carl brought Robin to the second destination-the capital, Alba.
