In general reason—
After the War on Jaya Island, based on the Marine's attitude at that time, the possibility that the four of Rob will be rewarded is extremely high!
Rob even guessed that his own bounty, when the first bounty was offered, could reach more than one billion berries.
However
"No?"
Looking at the stack of bounty posters in his hand, Rob didn't find his own bounty poster at all, not to mention Robin, Uta, and Makino if he doesn't have one.
For a while.
After repeatedly confirming this information, Rob had a strange look on his face:
"It's done to that extent! Why hasn't a bounty poster been issued yet? Five Elders or Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do they think that if there is no bounty, I won't be the enemy of the World Government and Marines for the time being?"
If they really think so, then Rob can only say that their thinking is really too simple.
Not to mention that they are still looking for the Poneglyphs, and are still studying the historical truth that has been blank for a hundred years. In the future, he will not let Robin give up her dream that is already within reach.
Just the Poneglyph information they have obtained now, after being combined, can already reveal a lot of historical truths that have been covered up by the World Government and Marines.
Once the information of these Poneglyphs is published, it will definitely detonate an extremely terrible storm all over the world!
In other words——
The four of them, together with the World Government and its henchman - the Marines, are destined to become incompatible enemies.
The Marines' current behavior is just pushing back the time when the conflict between the two parties breaks out.
It's even in disguise, giving them more time to find more Poneglyphs!
"Or----"
Rob touched his chin, his eyes full of thought:
"What other calculations do they have?"
Honestly--
From the very beginning, Rob did not dare to underestimate Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, who are known as "The Resourceful General" and "Great Adviser", famous for their tricks and strategies.
Although he is a time traveler and has a plot memory similar to "God's perspective," when it comes to real strategic ability, Rob doesn't think he will be on par with those "superior IQ" guys who rely on this aspect to make a living!
Whether it's a pirate or a Marine, they are formidable too!
These famous bosses, unless they are like "BIG MOM" Charlotte Linlin, who are purely mentally deficient and have brain problems, it is impossible for them to be real fools.
Even the most reckless "beast" Kaido, and guys with a reckless image like Garp are the same!
Everyone is a stratigist!
Apart from underestimating Charlotte Linlin's IQ, it's better to pay attention to other people's IQ.
"Oni-chan!"
Just when Rob was thinking about the intention of this wave of World Government and Marine operations, Robin jumped down from the training room above the main mast, wearing training tights, and flew directly toward Rob.
Throwing away the bounty posters in his hand, Rob opened his arms and caught Robin firmly. He then held her like a princess, spinning her around for a moment before setting her down with a doting smile.
Gently touching Robin's brow, Rob said, "Be careful! What if I fail to catch you? If you're unprepared, you might get injured!"
This world is very strange—
Some people suffer horrific injuries during battle and still live well, while someone climbing a staircase and falling might die. So if she jump down and he doesn't catch her, she could really get hurt!
Standing in front of Rob, Robin, with her hands behind her back, had a sweet smile on her face. She smiled and asked him, "Onii-chan, won't you catch me every time?"
Rob shook his head, his eyes calm and firm, with a smirk, "What do you think?"
Hearing Rob's answer, Robin's face lit up with a stunning smile. She then jumped onto Rob's back, hugging him tightly, not caring about her ample chest pressing against his broad back.
Feeling the soft touch from his back, Rob's heartbeat inevitably quickened, and both heads felt a little congested. But he didn't refuse to carry Robin like a gentleman; on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much and even wanted Robin to hold on tighter!
Today's Robin is 1.75 meters tall, with fair skin, long legs, and a youthful and invincible figure. Just looking at her, Rob could feel full.
He's a man who faces his inner desires.
If Robin took the initiative to ask him how he feels about her, Rob would definitely tell her in a more euphemistic way without hesitation: Waiting for you to be eighteen, let you experience my hidden sword!
Of course, Robin has never asked about this kind of thing, so it's naturally impossible for Rob to take the initiative to tell her. Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that he's desperate?
He's just a pervert, not a predator!
Quickly, Robin, who was playful in front of Rob, fussed on his back for a while. After Makino and Uta, who were also practicing in the training room, came to the deck, Robin got off Rob's back.
Now on the boat, there is an eighteen-year-old Makino, and Robin doesn't dare to provoke her Onii-chan's blood too much, making him full of firepower, and then let Makino, who has reached the standard of her Onii-chan, take the lead.
Although Robin doesn't mind having an extra Makino for her Onii-chan, if possible, Robin still wants to be the first to experience everything with her Onii-chan!
After all—
She came first! She came first! She came first!
Important things should be said three times!
"Today's newspaper?"
Picking up the newspaper that Rob put on the ground, Robin spread it out and began to read it. While she was engrossed in the news, Makino and Uta were searching for their bounty posters. For the past two days, the four of them had thought that they would all be rewarded together.
Watching Makino and Uta in action, Rob's said:
"Without our bounty posters, in the news reports this time—the World Government has hidden a lot of things and at the same time forged a lot of news. It seems they won't target us for the time being!"
Hearing Rob's words, Makino looked stunned:
"Eh?! Can it still be like this? Shouldn't news reports be based on facts? How can there be fake news?"
Rob smiled, reached out, and rubbed Makino's dazed, gentle face. He said:
"Don't be so shocked! This kind of thing is very normal! Manipulating public opinion is just a small trick for those in power! Any person in power would do it!"
"In the future, when you have learned a lot, you will be able to understand! The contents of the news reports need to be carefully screened by yourself before you can extract the information you need. Don't be fooled!"
"News reports seeking truth from facts? This phrase—from the day newspapers appeared, was just a joke or a hopeful prospect!"
Getting her face rubbed by Rob, Makino rolled her eyes playfully and let Rob do whatever he wanted with grace. She asked:
"Since we are not wanted, does it mean that we don't need to worry about Marine attacks for the time being?"
Before Rob could respond, Robin, still reading the newspaper, answered directly:
"No, Makino! The current situation is only because the strength of Onii-chan has exceeded the expectations of Naval Headquarters and the World Government. They are worried that putting bounties on us directly will cause Onii-chan's crazy revenge!"
"After all, Onii-chan still has the title of 'Crazy Avenger' on the sea, so the Marines will also fear his crazy revenge."
"Even if there's no way to deal with strong players like Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku, those weaker Marine branches and generals are not a match for Onii-chan!"
"It's almost inevitable that they'll face heavy losses! To prevent such a thing from happening, Naval Headquarters and the World Government are only temporarily compromising with us!"
Snap—
Closing the newspaper in her hand, Robin's face turned serious:
"This compromise will allow the Marines to prepare more adequately for their next attack. They will strike only when they can completely eliminate us!"
"Safety is only temporary, and we must not relax our vigilance!"
Snap—
After Robin finished speaking, Rob, who was standing, snapped his fingers:
"That's it! Robin's analysis is completely correct! When the World Government has absolute power, they will get rid of us without hesitation!"
"So don't be careless! We all have to remember—the Marines and the World Government will never let us go, and we will be together because of their 'justice'!"
There was a pause.
Rob picked up Uta beside him and put a smile on his face:
"Of course! We are not evil, and we will not be willing to become pirates! We are who we are, be it the past, present, and future. We haven't changed much."
"If we have to talk about justice, then our justice is - family is supreme, family affection is supreme! The justice we implement is like this!"
Hearing Rob's words, both Robin and Uta showed expressions of approval and then smiled happily.
After feeling the mutual support and understanding, Makino also nodded in agreement. She was very grateful for Rob's words and kept them in her heart.
Rob, Robin, Uta, and Makino are actually orphans, so the members of this small family can be said to be each other's whole world.
So for each other—
All things are allowed!
