Chapter 47 : Inviting Robin
Don't Forget to Review!!
On the gently breezing deck, a handsome man and a beautiful woman stood gazing at each other in the twilight, seeming to make a rather fitting couple.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Robin inwardly wished she could stab Noir with a knife.
After many years of lurking in the dark world, she had long since developed a cold and hard heart.
But never before had she felt such a strong urge to kill as she did today.
Robin couldn't understand why a man she had just met could reveal all of her personal information.
To her, the best way to protect herself was to eliminate the person who knew her secrets.
Seeing the growing wariness in Robin's eyes, Noir sighed and said with a wry smile, "Stop staring. You can't kill me."
Of course, she knew she couldn't handle Noir.
If she could, she would have killed him already for her own safety.
Robin smiled again, but this time her smile was unfamiliar and hostile.
She said quietly, "You know so much, you must have an ulterior motive."
"Why are you looking for Crocodile? Or... are you looking for me?"
Facing Robin's probing, Noir said bluntly, "There's no need for pretense. I'm here for you."
"But don't worry. I know you can read ancient texts, but I have no interest in them."
Noir was telling the truth; he had no curiosity about the poneglyphs or the hundred years of lost history.
Apart from the World Government, only conspirators and ambitious people cared about Robin's identity.
But Robin did not believe him.
Having experienced countless betrayals and counter-betrayals, Robin would never believe Noir's empty words.
But she did not show her doubts. Instead, she feigned confusion and asked, "If it's not for that, then what is it?"
Noir straightened, looked into Robin's beautiful eyes and said, "I want you to be my mate.
Looking into his inky black eyes, Robin was surprised to see his sincerity.
... And gentleness?
For some reason, Robin began to believe him a little. Hesitantly, she asked, "What's in it for you? What do I get out of it?"
"You should know that I'm very safe hiding under Crocodile's protection."
Noir shook his head and said, "It's not your own safety you care about."
"You're working with Crocodile because he's also looking for a Poneglyph, and your goals happen to coincide."
Hearing that, Robin fell silent. In a way, Noir was right.
Hmm...
Even if it didn't affect Robin's beauty, a smooth skin might add some points, right?
While he was hesitating whether to give it to Robin, Mr. 2 suddenly appeared, breaking the strange atmosphere between them.
"Oh! Little Noir, what are you two doing?" Mr. 2 asked in a high-pitched voice, doing a ballet twirl.
Hearing his voice, Noir's eyes lit up. Right, there was something else he had to do.
Noir ran over to Mr. 2, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Nothing much, just chatting.
With his arm around Mr. 2's shoulder, Noir quietly took the copy card out of the system and discreetly stuck it on him.
Blue Talent, Devil's Host - Copied!
Noir was satisfied as he pulled his hand back.
Some Devil Fruits might have poor offensive abilities, but their utility was incredibly valuable.
For example, the Imitation Fruit. Even though it had no offensive power, it was extremely useful for assassination, infiltration, deception, and spying on bathing women...
Ahem... Forget that last one.
Using it for these purposes was like having holy help.
The more Noir thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally he burst out laughing.
Mr. 2, who had his shoulder around Noir, asked confusedly, "Little Noir, why are you laughing?
Noir stifled his laughter and lied, "I'm just glad to have met you, my friend!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. 2 was also pleased. He shyly shook his hand and laughed, "Oh, my friend! Hahaha!"
And so, for some reason, the two of them found themselves standing on the deck in broad daylight, laughing like mad.
Robin watched them in silence, then commented blankly, "Like a couple of laughing monkeys.
"Ha...haha...hic..."
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Noir and Mr.2 froze.
