As for myself...
Anyway, I haven't wanted to live for a long time, I've been unable to go on...
Nico Robin closed her eyes, a hint of relief slowly appearing on her face. After twenty years of betrayal and being betrayed, she'd had enough of this kind of life...
Nico Robin took a deep breath, her fingers gradually clenched into a fist, and suddenly she opened her eyes, full of resolve and determination!
Bluru bluru...
The sound of the Radio Snail rang out.
Akihara Kagura casually picked up the Radio Snail in her hand, looking with interest as its face turned into a familiar shape.
"This is Kuzan."
The voice of Admiral Aokiji came from the Radio Snail.
"!!!"
Nico Robin suddenly raised her head.
"Shh..."
Akihara Kagura signaled Nico Robin to be quiet before asking, "Does Admiral Aokiji have any business? I'm busy here arresting pirates..."
"There's not really anything..."
Aokiji's voice opened lazily, "Speaking of which, I heard you guys arrested Nico Robin over there?"
This Navy Admiral...
It seems he really has been consistently paying attention to Nico Robin.
Even though the Navy and CP9 over at Water Seven had only captured Nico Robin recently, Aokiji had already received the news from the Navy, probably someone stationed at Water Seven had informed him.
Unfortunately...
Due to unrest among the Revolutionary Army and affiliated countries in the Four Seas, Navy resources are extremely scarce, and Admiral Aokiji has been dispatched for inspection, currently not in the Grand Line.
"Is Admiral Aokiji currently inspecting in the North Sea?"
Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly, showing interest in asking a few more questions, "How do you have time to pay attention to the trivial matters of Water Seven? The World Government wants to use Nico Robin to expose that Alabasta's history is false, hoping she will state as the last archaeologist of O'Hara's, in the true history, the World Government is the symbol of justice..."
"Ah la?"
Aokiji seemed unimpressed by such behavior, carelessly slandering the World Government's conduct, "This kind of deception can be seen through at a glance, right?"
"Those who can see through it are ultimately few..."
Akihara Kagura picked up the Radio Snail and spoke slowly, "The World Government is trying to deceive the majority, there will always be people willing to whitewash for them, the rule of eight hundred years cannot be overthrown overnight..."
"What about Nico Robin?"
Aokiji straightforwardly brought up Nico Robin's name, apparently not knowing the specifics on this side, started mumbling lightly, "Forget it, no need to say much, I don't have time to make it over from the North Sea, can you do me a favor?"
"Please speak."
Akihara Kagura's voice was very gentle.
"Don't let Nico Robin die."
The voice from the Radio Snail startled Nico Robin, changing her expression suddenly.
Aokiji didn't seem to know that Nico Robin was also listening in, continued mumbling slowly, "Back then, my friend Saul requested me to let her escape from the destruction of O'Hara, I've been observing her for about twenty years, but inexplicably felt that when she joined Crocodile, she seemed to have suicidal intent..."
"Yes."
"I had the same feeling just now."
Akihara Kagura smiled lightly holding the Radio Snail, his gaze falling on Nico Robin's face opposite him, "It seems she probably doesn't want to live anymore..."
"It's really troublesome..."
Aokiji's voice seemed a bit sad, he spoke softly, "You should have a way to keep her alive, I don't want Saul's will to vanish..."
"Then... the cost?"
Akihara Kagura's smile grew more pronounced.
"Just be straightforward..."
Aokiji didn't care if there would be trouble, thinking he could afford this cost.
"I want to become a Navy Admiral."
Akihara Kagura laughed, decisively revealing his ambition, "There are only three positions for the Three Great Admirals, and one Admiral will need to be removed in the future, but all of you seem to be in your prime..."
"..."
This time, it was Aokiji's turn to remain silent.
Because Aokiji is well aware of the current naval situation. Theoretically, the Navy leadership has almost all colluded with the Konoha Pirates, only Akainu has not been ousted...
It looks like...
Akihara Kagura might want to kick Admiral Akainu out.
"Alright."
"I'll handle this matter for you first."
Akihara Kagura didn't wait for Aokiji's agreement, unilaterally decided on this deal, "As for my matter, you can think it over slowly..."
After speaking, Akihara Kagura handed the Radio Snail to Nico Robin, saying, "Have a brief chat with Admiral Aokiji, Miss Robin..."
"..."
Nico Robin trembled as she took the Radio Snail, her hand shaking as she asked her first question, "Aokiji, Saul... is your friend?"
For a long time...
Nico Robin has deeply resented Aokiji.
Aokiji killed her friend Saul right in front of her, has secretly chased down those who sheltered her, making Nico Robin once feel that her life couldn't escape Aokiji's shadow.
Now...
Aokiji says...
Saul is his friend?
"Correct."
"Back then, I followed Saul's will to release you from that island, I've had an obligation to observe your life, so for the past twenty years I've been watching over you..."
"Never mind that."
"Live well."
Aokiji didn't want to say much more, he only gave a final instruction, "Now, listen to Akihara Kagura's arrangements, that guy is smart, I've entrusted him with the matter, he surely won't let anything happen to you."
