Chapter 420: Two People About to Meet

"Hoo~" Recalling the past, Karl couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental. At that time, he just thought the little beggar was pitiful; how could he have known the little beggar was Luo Bin?

What's more, Luo Bin was already very vigilant at that time and never said her name from beginning to end. Plus, she was disheveled and dirty—how could Karl have recognized her?

"Heh, I even thought that little beggar had died! Tsk tsk, I never expected her to be Luo Bin..."

To be honest, if he hadn't seen the necklace on Luo Bin's neck, he really wouldn't have recognized that Luo Bin was the little beggar from back then, let alone associate the little beggar with Luo Bin.

So that means, when he went to Alabasta last time for a friendly negotiation with Crocodile, he had a chance to see Luo Bin?

No, no, no, there shouldn't have been a chance. Crocodile would never let the Child of the Devil be exposed to the Marines; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cover it up even if he had ten lives.

"Luo Bin probably doesn't recognize me now, right? Otherwise... well, I only knew her for less than a month, and 18 years have passed now."

Karl put Luo Bin's photo into the system space, looked up at the distant sea, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly upward.

Meanwhile, the Going Merry.

Luo Bin supported her chin with one hand and kneaded the necklace on her chest with the other, looking at Luffy and saying: "I have nowhere else to go, so, just let me stay on the ship!"

Luffy nodded thoughtfully: "What's this? So that's how it is. Well, there's no helping it then. You can stay!"

The others: "Luffy!!!"

Luffy turned his head and grinned: "Don't worry! This person isn't a bad person."

Everyone else present was speechless, except for Sanji, who swayed his body happily and shouted like a lovesick fool: "Big sister! Big sister!"

The crew, led by Nami and Usopp, were still uneasy about Luo Bin and specifically set up an interrogation table, preparing to give Luo Bin a good questioning.

Watching Luo Bin continuously use her powers to tease Luffy and Chopper, Usopp slammed the table: "Don't look around, answer my questions honestly."

"I'll ask one more time, what is your name?" Then Usopp froze. It seemed better to state his own name before asking for someone else's.

"Uh, well, my name is Usopp. Please treat me well."

"Nico Luo Bin."

"Very well, Nico Luo Bin. What is your profession?"

"Archaeologist."

Usopp looked at Luo Bin in shock: "Archaeologist?"

That sounds so high-class!

"That's right. The family I was born into has been like this for generations. So that's it, that kind of family background. And then?"

"I became an archaeologist, and I was wanted by the World Government when I was 8 years old. For the 20 years since then, I have lived in hiding."

"You started at 8? Have you always been alone?"

Luo Bin tucked her long black hair behind her ear and smiled slightly: "Although I say that, a child alone at sea wouldn't survive, right?" ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
