Chapter 320

~7 min read 1,383 words

Because of the cover of the festival clothes and masks, Luo Bin didn't notice the two, and the distance grew closer and closer.

Looking at Nico Luo Bin from afar, Su Xiao noticed her gaze scanning the surrounding crowd inadvertently. Being pursued by the World Government since childhood made Luo Bin maintain vigilance wherever she went.

Luo Bin had a tall figure, healthy wheat-colored skin, and soft long hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a black tight-fitting dress, highlighting her S-shaped figure.

"Mr. Ship Doctor."

Luo Bin hadn't fully integrated into the Straw Hat Pirates yet, and her address for Chopper was slightly distant.

"Hmm?" Chopper, in his four-hoofed reindeer form, looked up at Luo Bin. Chopper was originally a reindeer who had eaten the Human-Human Fruit, and his intelligence was no different from a human's.

"There's a bookstore over there."

Luo Bin pointed to a bookstore in the distance.

"Really?"

Chopper darted out with a 'whoosh.' Medical books had an irresistible temptation for Chopper.

This scene left the steady Luo Bin somewhat dazed, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The Straw Hat Pirates gave her a different feeling than other pirate crews. If possible......

Luo Bin shook her head. She couldn't stay with the Straw Hat Pirates. After arriving at Water 7, she prepared to part ways with them.

Although she was somewhat reluctant, it had to be this way; she didn't want to harm those companions.

That's right, for the current Luo Bin, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates were already true companions.

Chopper darted to the front of the bookstore, tilted his head to look at Luo Bin, and asked cutely, "Can I take a look on the way?"

Luo Bin chuckled, looking at Chopper with a smile in her eyes.

"Of course, let's go together."

"Great!" Chopper cheered.

Just at this moment, two figures wearing festival clothes passed by Luo Bin from left and right. At this moment, the noise of the street disappeared in Luo Bin's ears.

"We are CP9."

Blueno's low voice came. Luo Bin's body stiffened, her mouth slightly agape, and a breeze blew through Luo Bin's jet-black long hair.

"Take that reindeer with you." Su Xiao spoke.

"No."

Luo Bin's head hung low, her shoulders trembling.

"You don't have the right to choose. Blueno, you go. Leave Nico Luo Bin to me."

Blueno responded and was about to turn around.

Luo Bin gritted her silver teeth, and a dagger slid out from her sleeve. Luo Bin whispered, "Do you want to take back my corpse?"

Blueno's footsteps stopped.

"Luo Bin, I'm going into the bookstore first!"

A cute shout came from afar; it was Chopper.

Luo Bin tried hard to show a smile, avoiding having Chopper discover anything unusual.

"Hmm, I'll go buy a mask over there first. If we get separated, go back to the ship and find me."

Chopper's steps into the bookstore were somewhat hesitant. For some reason, it suddenly didn't want to part with Luo Bin. It didn't know why either; it seemed that if they parted now, it would never see Luo Bin again.

"Then... then I won't go."

Luo Bin's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "It's okay. Remember to help me see if there are any history books in the bookstore. I'll come find you in a few minutes."

With that, Chopper felt relieved and ran happily into the bookstore. But Chopper didn't see that inside the sleeve of the arm Luo Bin held in front of her chest, there was a gleaming dagger—it was this dagger that protected Chopper.

For Blueno, Luo Bin couldn't die, and the same went for Su Xiao. He had a side mission on him; if Luo Bin died before arriving at Enies Lobby, he would be forcibly teleported back to Reincarnation Paradise, which would be a huge loss.

If Su Xiao could make a fortune in this high-martial world, his strength would be greatly improved.

Seeing Chopper enter the bookstore safely, Luo Bin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to follow behind Su Xiao.

Luo Bin had already thought of her subsequent fate. Being approached by CP9 agents, she knew she had no possibility of escaping.

Luo Bin looked at Su Xiao's back with lifeless eyes. For some reason, Luo Bin suddenly felt very tired. Since she was a few years old, she had been hiding and dodging, and being betrayed or sold had become a daily routine.

Since when did she learn to live cunningly, using others to protect herself, and forcing those people to face the enemy when she had no other choice?

Luo Bin understood ancient texts; no pirate crew would refuse her. After all, Roger's legend was inseparable from the Poneglyphs.

"How stupid."

Following behind Su Xiao, Luo Bin murmured. She was mocking herself. If she could have been ruthless and used the Straw Hat Pirates, she would never be in her current situation. But she couldn't be that ruthless; she couldn't imagine those who had become her companions lying in a pool of blood.

Su Xiao took Luo Bin to an abandoned factory. After walking into the abandoned factory, Su Xiao took off the heavy mask on his head and untied the cumbersome robe.

"What are you doing?"

Su Xiao's actions shocked Blueno.

"It's fine."

Blueno soon understood Su Xiao's meaning and nodded.

Luo Bin saw Su Xiao take off his mask. She hugged her chest with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

She had seen the faces of the CP9 members. Luo Bin knew what this meant: the other party didn't intend to let her live, so it didn't matter if she saw their faces.

"Nico Luo Bin, you are under arrest."

Blueno spoke. He hadn't taken off his mask, so his voice was somewhat muffled.

"I can go with you, but I have demands."

Luo Bin's trembling body relaxed. She suddenly felt that living was very tiring and would constantly cause others to fall into misfortune. At this very moment, she didn't want to live anymore, so a smile appeared on her face, and the pressure on her body was swept away.

"You don't have the right to make demands."

Blueno decisively refused Luo Bin.

"No, I do. The knowledge in my brain is what the World Government craves—not just the Poneglyphs, but other knowledge as well. This is also the reason why the World Government hasn't killed me all this time."

Luo Bin pressed the dagger against her delicate neck, and a smear of blood appeared. This represented her determination to stab down.

Blueno's expression changed; the situation was not good.

"Little trick."

The wire reel on Su Xiao's wrist tightened.

*Zzz~*, the sound of metal wire contracting came, and Luo Bin's body and arms were entangled by the Boundary Line.

"Blueno, do you know how to stop bleeding?"

Su Xiao's words left Blueno somewhat puzzled.

"You want to?"

"If only a live captive is needed, then just cut off her limbs and take her back."

Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, Luo Bin's throat felt dry, and the arm holding the dagger trembled.

Blueno looked at Su Xiao in surprise. He had a feeling that the other party might have worked in a job similar to an agent—no, it should be an even more brutal department.

The facts were similar; Su Xiao could even pretend to be an Anbu, let alone an agent. One had to know that the Anbu of some ancient empires were far more ruthless than agents.

*Snap. *

A crisp sound came from Luo Bin's mouth, and a wisp of blue liquid flowed down from the corner of her lips.

"You can control my body, but you cannot stop my swallowing action. My mouth is now full of deadly poison."

Luo Bin actually had such a method. Considering she had been evading the World Government's pursuit since she was a child, this was not surprising.

There were two poison capsules in Luo Bin's mouth. The shells of the capsules were very sturdy, so it wouldn't matter even if she accidentally swallowed them.

But if she bit the poison capsules, the deadly poison inside would flow out. Luo Bin would die within tens of seconds after swallowing this poison. This was Luo Bin's last resort.
