In comparison...
Straw Hat Luffy is just a simple little pirate.
Nico Robin glanced at everyone present and continued softly, "Perhaps it's still not too late to leave now; the World Government may send people to destroy Alabasta. Crocodile, who opened the Golden Underground Palace for his ambition, is surely doomed..."
"What do you mean?"
Luffy looked at Nico Robin with some surprise.
"The hundred years of blank history is an absolute secret."
Nico Robin recalled her hometown and continued solemnly, "There used to be a place called O'Hara, the All-Knowing Island, which was destroyed by the World Government just because it studied that history. All scholars who had researched that history were killed, and there were even some refugees..."
"Alabasta..."
"Perhaps not an exception either..."
"All who are present today and have heard that history in the Golden Underground Palace will certainly be hunted by the World Government. They will use fierce means to kill all who know..."
"Now..."
"We must leave here quickly!"
So...
Whether it's her...
or Straw Hat Luffy, they must escape quickly!
If the World Government kills to conceal secrets, they won't care how many people they kill. They won't care whether it's pirates or civilians they kill!
Even though the King of Alabasta contributed to creating the World Government eight hundred years ago, this kingdom is still very likely to be destroyed by the World Government...
Besides, the group of pirates before them must know the truth...
At least...
They are already implicated in the history of eight hundred years ago!
They certainly must become prime targets for the World Government's elimination!
The Konoha Pirates, Buggy Pirates, Crocodile, Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and even herself, who researches Poneglyphs!
The World Government...
Will definitely not let go of those present!
Only by escaping quickly, before the news spreads, while others will attract the World Government's attention in the future!
Nico Robin is very smart; she knows well how to use others and understands that this is the best opportunity for them to escape!
"Knowing some things are very dangerous yet still getting involved..."
A lazy voice appeared behind Nico Robin, a tall shadow enveloped her like darkness, "If you want to escape now, isn't it a bit late, Nico Robin..."
At the last part, the voice's owner spoke with a slightly cold, ruthless tone, as if ready to kill at any moment...
"You are..."
Luffy looked at the tall man appearing behind Nico Robin, panic appeared in his eyes as he remembered that tall man who had captured Ace on the Golden Merry!
"Aokiji..."
Nico Robin's voice trembled as she spoke the Navy code of the person behind her, her lips trembling as she opened her mouth, "You're actually here..."
After many years.
When Aokiji appeared, the fear of O'Hara resurfaced in Nico Robin's mind like a nightmare, reminding her of that tragic day.
Since that day...
Her life plunged into a dark abyss.
"It's not just me..."
Aokiji also didn't act immediately, but his gaze deepened as he looked towards an elderly Vice Admiral appearing behind Straw Hat Luffy.
"Luffy..."
A familiar voice appeared at Luffy's ear.
"Grand... Grandfather..."
Luffy's teeth couldn't help but chatter.
"You still remember me..."
Garp, the old Navy veteran, was straightforward, directly punching Luffy on the head, sending his own grandson flying, his face filled with anger, "You brat actually went to become a pirate and dared to stay in Alabasta at this time!"
"I'm not!"
Straw Hat Luffy's body directly flew out!
This stubborn new pirate, holding his head, endured Garp's punch, grumbled unhappily, "I want to become the Pirate King!"
"Shut up!"
Garp directly swung his fist, hammering Luffy's body into the desert!
Grandfather and grandson reunited after years...
Upon reunion, they became adversaries!
Luckily...
This time, Garp wasn't in the mood to continue educating his grandson; he even pulled Luffy out of the desert and casually threw him to the ground, "I don't have time to babble with you now, I'll deal with you after I've dealt with these troublesome guys..."
This grandson is important...
The other grandson is also important.
After speaking, Garp's figure no longer stayed!
The old Navy veteran, fearless of death, directly charged into the battlefield between Uchiha Madara and Ace, landing a punch on Fire Fist Ace's head, sending the Fire Fist Ace, who wanted to use flames against Uchiha Madara, flying!
"Ace!"
"Why are you here too!"
"I was quite upset when I heard you went to sea to become a pirate..."
Garp looked at Fire Fist Ace who was thrown out, his eyes shadowed, "You, brat, actually joined Whitebeard's pirate crew..."
"This damn old man..."
Fire Fist Ace cursed angrily, holding his forehead without daring to move, refusing to back down, "I want to make Dad the Pirate King!"
"You dare say..."
Garp had no intention of breaking the opponent's fighting resolve, and flew towards Fire Fist Ace, intending to punch him again!
"Alright."
A steady voice stopped Vice Admiral Garp's act of beating two pirate grandsons.
Admiral Sengoku, draped in a Navy cloak, with Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Kizaru, slowly walked over, and a Navy Lieutenant and Navy Squad Leader followed him.
Sengoku's gaze glanced at Fire Fist Ace, then at Straw Hat Luffy, these two little guys were the reverse scales for Garp, the old geezer...
The friendship between Sengoku and Garp spanned decades, knowing his old friend's temperament well, and he didn't want these two troublesome kids to affect the upcoming battle, because the upcoming duel with the Konoha Pirates demand undivided attention from Garp...
This was also Sengoku's wisdom.
He knew capturing Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace was impossible right now.
If by chance he captured them now, Garp certainly would divide his attention during the battle...
However...
The Konoha Pirates' strength is incredibly formidable!
If Garp couldn't focus enough, he might not be a match!
Sengoku wanted to turn a blind eye, to let Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace go, and even Buggy and Crocodile, lest their interaction with the Konoha Pirates become more widely known...
In this way...
Perhaps even his own people need to be driven away.
Sengoku slowly took off his Navy cloak, tossing it on the sand, as he watched the Konoha Pirates gradually gather together, his voice becoming steady and powerful, "All members below Navy Headquarters Colonel leave..."
"The upcoming battle is not something you can partake in..."
"If not careful, the aftermath could kill you..."
"Yes."
Akihara Kagura chose to follow suit.
After all, Sengoku's statement was too targeted, and only he and Karin were below the rank of Navy Colonel present.
"..."
Aokiji and Kizaru both fell silent to Sengoku's order.
Especially Admiral Aokiji...
Aokiji intended to utilize this intense battle to secretly kill Akihara Kagura, lest Akihara Kagura, as a Konoha Pirates spy, achieves higher status with the Natural Type Rumble-Rumble Fruit...
Unfortunately...
This plan was thwarted by Marshal Sengoku's statement.
