Ohara:
A radiant light shone in the teleportation room as Rob and Bella appeared out of nowhere.
After their brief journey to the East Blue, Bell-mère felt as though a part of her soul had remained there. After all, she now knew everything about Nami and Nojiko and their current circumstances.
In the manga, these circumstances were unknown to Marine soldier Bell-mère, who chose to retire after meeting Nami and Nojiko. She gave up her life as a Marine to become their foster mother, embracing the role after the girls had lost their families and wandered alone in the darkness without hope. A two-year-old girl carrying a newborn, just beginning their journey together...
But in this world, she wasn't a Marine, nor was there any threat of a pirate invasion of the Kingdom of Oykot. That scene from the manga was impossible to recreate in reality.
Bell-mère had lost the specific conditions that allowed her to be the true and sole mother to Nami and Nojiko.
Yet, she had gained so much in return. She cast a sideways glance at the man who meant everything to her, smiling warmly at her.
Rob had given her the choice. With a snap of his fingers, he could turn the impossible into reality, perform miracles, change destinies, even make her belly swell as if by magic... It was something incredible, a feat only the gods could achieve.
But to her, her husband was a god, so she wasn't too shocked by his powers.
Unlike her godlike husband, she was simply human.
Humans are bound by emotions, circumstances, and their nature. If she chose to take Nojiko and Nami as her own, Bell-mère knew she would no longer be the same.
"Nojiko will be born in three months. By then, we'll visit Novak and Elen personally, and we'll celebrate her birth together. I bet it'll be the surprise of a lifetime for their little family."
Rob smiled as he said this.
He patted Bell-mère on the shoulder and left. He could see the small heads of Robin and Yamato peeking around the corner, spying on him.
He caught them easily, appearing behind them without warning.
"Haha! Spying on your dad again, are you?"
Both Robin and Yamato felt deeply embarrassed at being caught once again.
"Dad left without taking us along! That's so unfair."
Robin puffed out her cheeks, playfully showing her annoyance. But the next moment, she remembered a specific manga scene and exclaimed with an excited expression.
"Dad! I can't believe my counterpart is training under Dragon! That means she'll become a member of the Revolutionary Army, right?"
"Wasn't that already obvious? Kuma sent Robin to that place to meet the Revolutionary Army in the first place."
Yamato teased Robin, showing that she had known this all along.
"Hehe~ It's impossible for Robin to trust anyone outside of her crew, so joining a group was unlikely for her. Returning to the Sabaody Archipelago was her top priority!" Robin said, looking at Yamato with a triumphant smile.
"That was before Luffy sent his coded message, and this applies to all the crew members, really. Robin is no exception!"
Yamato refused to back down from the discussion either.
Seeing this familiar scene, Rob shook his head in resignation and set them both down. "Alright, let's read the manga together."

"Please come inside, Robin-san! You'll catch a cold out here..."
"Yohohoho! I bet he'll blow it up too!"
Brook laughed, predicting that this lab would also be destroyed like the first one.
"Well, if he blows up this lab, he won't have anywhere else to learn and develop himself... even fixing himself back to normal will be a challenge," Vegapunk said, anticipating the future.
"Fufu~ The time for laughs is over... his captain gave him two years to develop... if he's careless again, he doesn't deserve to be part of the Straw Hat crew," Doflamingo sneered.
"What do we have here... I left plenty of blueprints that I sketched during my free time... they'll be invaluable for Franky... there are also plenty of rare metals and equipment available. If he's a bit careful, he'll gain a lot from Baltimore."
Vegapunk was confident in his words.
"I look forward to seeing what he'll become in two years; it seems we have a shared destiny."
