Chapter 48: Spiders Cafe
Don't Forget to Review!!!
Noir and Mr. 2 calmed down after being reprimanded by Robin.
Robin sighed, finally able to calm down and read.
As she lowered her head, she noticed an object on Noir's person.
It was a pendant that had accompanied Noir as he grew up, engraved with his name.
Robin's mind suddenly jerked; she seemed to have seen a similar pendant somewhere before.
When was that?
Oh, right, before Ohara was destroyed, she seemed to have seen it in a book.
Robin asked hastily, "Excuse me, Mr. Noir, what is your full name?"
Noir, caught off guard by the question, instinctively replied, "Kyros D. Noir.
Robin delved into her childhood memories, and the names Kyros and D matched the key words from the book she read as a child.
Noir looked at Robin in confusion, but she seemed lost in thought and said nothing.
With no other choice, Noir followed Mr. 2 back to the ship for a meal.
It was a long time before Robin regained her composure, a slight smile tugging at her lips.
If things were as she thought, Noir might actually be a lot like her.
With thoughts occupying her mind, Noir didn't chat much with Robin during the next few days of their journey.
Soon Mr. 2 accompanied Noir to the borders of Alabasta.
In the vast desert of yellow sand, Noir changed into desert travel clothes.
In both this life and his previous one, this was Noir's first time in a desert.
Noir sneaked up to Robin and asked curiously, "Dear Robin-chan, is Crocodile really going to reveal his identity to meet me in person?"
Robin frowned and said, "Of course not. He'll communicate with you through a transponder snail."
"And can you stop calling me that?"
Noir thought for a moment and said cautiously:
"Beautiful lady?"
"I know, change it."
"Sweetie?"
"Change it!"
"Nico-chan?"
Robin glared at Noir and then said helplessly, "Just use my code name here. Knowing my identity won't do you any good."
Noir shrugged indifferently and said, "No problem, I'm not afraid of the Shichibukai."
Robin nodded weakly, no longer wanting to explain the power of the Shichibukai. Maybe it really was that strong...
Noir's eyes followed her again...
Robin couldn't help but roll her eyes.
When Paula was out of sight, Noir finally sat up straight, took a sip of coffee and remarked, "This coffee is really good..."
Robin ignored him and, after finishing her coffee, walked over to Paula and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to contact the boss. Keep an eye on him."
Paula nodded and smiled, "No problem."
After giving instructions, Robin turned and entered a secret room at the back of the cafe.
The secret room was quite simple, with a large table filled with various Den Den Mushi.
Several blue regular snails, black eavesdropping snails, and white anti-eavesdropping snails...
Robin expertly picked up a snail marked "0" and dialed out. The snail immediately changed to the face of a sinister middle-aged man.
"Have you brought the person?"
The snail, now with the expression of a crocodile, spoke.
"He's at the Spider Cafe."
Robin's voice was flat as she said, "His strength is much greater than a senior agent. He's a Logia user."
"Logia?"
The snail's expression showed surprise that quickly turned to joy, "I am very pleased with this subordinate."
Robin scoffed inwardly and said, "He is very confident in his abilities. He probably won't become your subordinate easily."
Crocodile's voice was disdainful as he said, "Relying on the luck of eating a Logia fruit, that's how bold he is."
"I'll make him understand that not all ability users are the same."
Robin remained silent as Crocodile continued, "Bring him in. I'll have a talk with him."
Putting the snail down, Robin went outside to fetch Noir.
Noir, engrossed in watching "Bouncing," quickly followed.
Returning to the secret room, Noir picked up the snail and called, "Moshi Moshi?"
After a moment, Crocodile's voice came through, "Is that Noir?"
"Oh, Sandman, why are you talking like a heartthrob?" Noir replied cheekily.
