Today was a disastrous day for Nicole Robin.
She didn't expect to run into them at sea after a month since she betrayed the Big Axe Pirates!
Even in the vast ocean, she was still unable to escape from them.
On the seas, her little boat was no match for the big Pirate ship. As soon as they saw her trail, the Big Axe Pirates gave chase!
If the Big Axe Pirates had tried to capture her with all their might, their ship might have overtaken her small boat.
Although she still hadn't been caught, she was sure it would happen soon. When her stamina for rowing ran out, it would be her last moment.
Although she knew her chances of winning against them were slim, she had no other choice now.
Just as Robin was about to stop rowing to confront the Big Axe Pirates, she suddenly saw a luxury ship that had recently sprung up in every newspaper she had read.
She saw the famous Drake Pirate's Golden Hind!
Nicole Robin was well aware of the Drake Pirate's fame. Seeing the Golden Hind, Robin began rowing hard, hoping to gain protection from the Drake Pirate.
No one knew what kind of characters the members of the Drake Pirates were, but at least there was still hope for survival. If the Drake Pirates were interested in historical texts, then she could help them translate them for the price of protection.
*Boom!*
A cannon was fired; fortunately, the cannon missed and landed not far from her boat. Although not directly hit, the waves caused by the cannon immediately rolled Robin's ship; As a Devil Fruit user, Robin fell into the sea and drowned.
"Ah... am I going to die here?" Falling into the sea, Robin became increasingly desperate.
"I'm sorry, mother, I can't find and reveal the true history of the world." Robin shed tears.
Just as Robin was about to close her eyes, a golden-colored figure suddenly flashed before her eyes.
"Is it an angel?"
As Robin wondered in her heart, the golden glowing figure suddenly wrapped its arms around her waist and pulled her out of the sea in an instant.
Above sea level, Vermillion flew while carrying Robin.
"Cough, cough!" Robin coughed a few times, after which she looked at her benefactor.
"Thank you, Mr. Vermillion. As you can see, I'm being hunted by those pirates, I wanted to take refuge with you."
"Oh? Want to seek protection, Nico Robin?" Vermillion laughed lightly.
"Y-you know me?!"
"Of course, for a famous archaeologist like you, how can I forget it?"
"Since you know me, I am willing to interpret historical texts for you... as long as you can protect me."
"Interesting, I've recently become interested in the Void Century." Vermillion smiled, "It would be helpful if you were willing to translate those texts for me."
Turning his head towards Nico Robin's pursuing Pirate ship, Vermillion's body was suddenly enveloped in golden light, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared on the Big Axe Pirate ship.
All the Big Axe Pirates members were terrified and on guard when the figures of Vermillion and Robin appeared on their ship in an instant.
They recognized who the person who saved Robin was; he was none other than a Pirate worth several billion Belly!
How could the Big Axe Pirates not be scared? If the Bounties of all their members were added up, they were only worth one hundred million Belly!
"Welcome to our ship." Pirate Captain Big Axe greeted with a grimace. But Vermillion seemed to ignore him as she looked around the ship.
Looking at Robin, Vermillion asked as he handed her a handkerchief. "Can you tell me what kind of pirates they are?"
"These pirates like to prey on civilians. They rarely come into direct conflict with other pirates or the navy."
Robin did not refuse the handkerchief; after accepting it, Robin wiped her face while saying slowly.
"The bounty they get is not because of their strength, but the damage they have done to civilians."
