Chapter 37: Robin
Ah, Crocodile Saitamas curiosity was piqued as he inquired, Is this guy as tough as they say?
Princess Vivis expression turned grave as she explained, Crocodile may be known as the revered guardian deity of Alabasta, but beneath that facade, hes the notorious mastermind behind the nefarious Baroque Works
80 million berries! That was his bounty even before he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Vivi continued, her voice tinged with awe. And its not just his bounty thats fearsome. Crocodile possesses a rare and formidable Logia-type Devil Fruit power, making him nearly invulnerable!
Saitamas eyes widened with intrigue. So, hes practically unbeatable?
Vivi nodded solemnly. Exactly. Regular marines stand no chance against him. Thats why Im counting on you, Mr. Marine! Please help us contact
Ah, I see!
Saitama interrupted with a grin, his eyes gleaming with determination as he turned to face Vivi. I will confront Crocodile and verify the truth. If hes truly guilty, Ill take care of him myself. You can trust me.
Uhh!
Vivis concern etched across her face as she interjected urgently, But do you realize how mighty Crocodile is? Going alone is suicide!
Saitamas demeanor remained calm, radiating unshakable confidence. Dont worry. Im more powerful than him.
His words carried an air of absolute certainty, despite his unassuming appearance.
However
Vivi couldnt shake off her doubts. How could this seemingly ordinary man with his lanky frame and unremarkable looks possibly defeat the fearsome Crocodile?
After a moment of contemplation, Princess Vivi bid Igaram farewell and resolved to keep a close eye on Saitama, determined to intervene if needed.
Sir!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Vivi pulled her hair back into a sleek ponytail, her determined gaze matching Saitamas stride. Allow me to join you on this quest, please! I can be of invaluable aid. If we need evidence against Crocodile, I can confront him directly.
Saitama nodded, impressed by Vivis determination. Very well, youre in.
Vivi took a deep breath, her royal upbringing giving her composure. Then, allow me to introduce myself properly. I am Vivi, Princess of Alabasta. And may I inquire about your name?
Oh! Im Saitama, Saitama grinned, exuding a sense of calm confidence. Once a renowned hero, now a Rear Admiral in the Navy. But I still believe in doing whats right. Pleasure to meet you, Princess.
Onboard the warship,
Tashigi had taken the duo into custody and locked them up with seastone handcuffs.
The protocol dictated that they should be taken to Enies Lobby for a trial, but Tashigi couldnt shake off the feeling that something was off. What if there was another one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea lurking on board?
Win or lose, it didnt matter to her.
Her plan was to lure Crocodile into attacking the Marines, so that the monstrous powerhouses from Marine Headquarters would have to intervene and deal with the rogue Warlord who dared to defy their authority.
Then, she would finally break free from his grasp, liberated from his influence once and for all.
However, she could have never anticipated the overwhelming aura of power emanating from the man standing before her now It struck her with a sense of awe and terror, as if he were a fearsome behemoth in human form, surpassing all expectations.
A bald and mighty figure Is that?!
Whispers of a Marine guard in Loguetown who had recently been promoted and left the East Blue.
Could this be the legendary Bald-Devil!!
Please, do not misunderstand, Mr. Saitama, Miss All Sunday said, pausing to assess the man standing before her. Isnt that so? Her voice carried a tinge of excitement as she locked her sharp gaze on the man before her. Ive heard tales of your legendary reputation, and your sudden seriousness is quite impressive. She couldnt help but feel a sense of intrigue as she assessed Saitamas stoic expression. It seems Princess Vivi has found herself a reliable ally. Her words were laced with a mischievous grin, knowing well that Saitama was not known for displaying a wide range of emotions.
Saitamas brow furrowed, his curiosity piqued as he gazed at the woman before him. And who might you be? he inquired.
I am Miss All Sunday, partner of Crocodile, she replied confidently.
Saitamas brows furrowed as he fixed his gaze upon her. What kind of name is that? Miss All Sunday? Thats a day of the week, not a name. I demand your real name. Im tired of this constant game-playing! First, there was someone named after a number, then someone named after an event, and now a day of the week. Enough is enough! So, for the last time who are you? His tone was stern and unwavering, leaving no room for evasion.
The girl hesitated, caught between the desire to conceal her identity and the danger of making an enemy of Saitama. But finally, she spoke. Robin. Nico Robin, she said, her voice soft but steady.
Saitama scratched his chin thoughtfully. Hmm, thats a good name. You should use it.
Relief and a hint of amusement flickered across Robins face as she chuckled. Hehe, thank you. So, Mr. Saitama, do you have any intention of joining our Baroque Works studio? she asked, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Saitama thought seriously for a moment before shaking his head. No, I am not good at promoting newspapers, so Id better pass.
Robin smiled intelligently. But Baroque Works is not a newspaper company. Lets talk about the real matter at hand, shall we, Rear Admiral?
