Let’s go get some water together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I want to make a cup of coffee and read while I drink it. What’s wrong? Don't you want to go? You’re the one who spilled the water bucket, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper scratched the back of his head: \"Oh, alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the two left the cabin, a resounding... \"Caw!\" came from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw-caw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper quickly put down the bucket and looked at the sky vigilantly: \"What was that sound? It sounds Move Move Like it’s saying it found something? Found what? Is it us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Robin looked up at the sky. After looking for a long time, she asked strangely: \"There’s nothing there! Did you hear wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No way, my hearing is much more sensitive than a normal person’s. It’s just, this sound, it seems somewhat familiar...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did you find them?\" Karl’s mouth curled upward as he patted the Raven’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Go down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Merry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper was still watching the sky vigilantly until he saw a black dot that was gradually getting larger. As the dot approached, Chopper couldn't help but open his mouth wide and shout loudly: \"Help! It’s a giant white bird!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper could see it, and Robin could naturally see it too. To protect Chopper, Robin quickly used her powers to shield him behind her, watching the sky cautiously, wondering if she should call for rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Flap, flap, flap~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Raven flapped its wings, slowing down while shrinking its form, because the Merry was too small to fit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Thump.*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl landed lightly on the deck of the Merry, looking at Robin with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw-caw~ (Hey, talking reindeer, do you still remember me?)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper, hiding behind Robin’s legs, rubbed his eyes in disbelief: \"Raven! Mr. Karl!!! How did you get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper felt a sense of relief, but Robin didn't think so; she even had an urge to run away immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because that was a Marine hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Chopper. I heard you’re a pirate now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper’s face stiffened. Only then did he remember that a sad barrier had grown between him and Karl: Marines and pirates, natural enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Child of the Devil, Nico Robin. I really didn't expect that a survivor of the Ohara incident could still be alive until now. Should I say you’re lucky, or that the Marines tracking you are too incompetent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Girls really do change in eighteen years,\" it wasn't just a saying. If he hadn't confirmed that Robin was the little beggar, Karl would have been completely unable to associate the little beggar with Robin. Uh, it seemed he was about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>18 years ago, he hadn't been as handsome as he was now; he only became handsome when he hit his growth spurt at 15, 16, or 17. It was no wonder Robin didn't recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robin clenched her fists, looking at Karl with unwillingness: \"Are you here to capture me? Marine hero, Karl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl smiled lightly and said nothing, but the Raven had already turned into a long sword, which he held in his palm. Karl held the sword in one hand and walked slowly toward Robin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper stood out from behind Robin’s legs, blocking her, and shouted excitedly: \"Don't, Mr. Karl! Robin, Robin is not a bad person!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl glanced at Chopper faintly, gently brushed the blade of the Raven with his left hand, and said lightly: \"Chopper, you’d better stay away from her. This woman will only bring disaster to you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Didn't she tell you? The reason she has been drifting is that every organization or group she stays in for a period of time will be destroyed, and she has to look for the next one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How long do you think the Straw Hat Pirates can last? Her existence will only bring calamity to you. Because she is the Child of the Devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you don't want your pirate career to end so abruptly, then you’d better not protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listening to these heart-piercing words, Robin shouted excitedly: \"Stop it!!! Kill me! You’ve wanted to do this for a long time anyway, haven't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are tired of living, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Swish~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tip of the Raven pointed at Robin’s throat, lifting her chin: \"Are you ready to die? Criminal, Nico Robin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Karl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl looked down at Chopper, his gaze sharpening. Chopper’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Robin seemed to have given up resistance, closing her eyes and waiting quietly for death to arrive, because she couldn't possibly escape from the hands of a Marine hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s just that after waiting for a long time, Robin didn't feel Karl’s next move, so she couldn't help but open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She saw Karl looking at her with a smile, and he said: \"Little beggar, don't you recognize me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little beggar?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robin couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring fixedly at Karl’s face. Sealed memories instantly flooded her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The smile of the little boy in her memory gradually merged with Karl’s smile. Tears welled up in the corners of Robin’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yeah! I couldn't recognize you at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl laughed, put the Raven away, walked to Robin, picked up the necklace on her chest, and said slowly: \"If I hadn't seen my mother’s keepsake, I wouldn't have recognized you either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh~ I never expected that the dirty little beggar from back then would be the famous Child of the Devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled with relief: \"I didn't expect that the boy who said he wanted to join the Marines back then would become a world-renowned Marine hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two stared at each other for a long time without speaking. Perhaps they just didn't know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Have you been doing well all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head with a smile: \"I’ve probably had it better than you. After all, I’m a Marine, I don't have to hide and flee Move Move Like you. But you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"To be able to protect yourself under the pursuit of the Marines and the World Government, you are truly remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robin smiled bitterly: \"I just didn't want to die Move Move Like that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then why were you acting Move Move Like you were ready for a heroic sacrifice just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What else could I do? You’re a Marine hero! Could a weak woman Move Move Like me escape from your hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So, have you decided to join the Straw Hat crew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Robin shook her head: \"No, just resting for a while. If my appearance brings them danger, I will leave immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmph~ you don't need to worry about that. The partners you’ve found this time are more reliable than you imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Robin remembered Chopper’s move to block her just now and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yeah~ they are indeed very reliable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a9cda9ca65afd52bf5ed4019ba4d557284ea0ea74dd96e9c356df47a871aecd2","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-249","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-247",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
