"They are Marines…"
Robin's eyes were filled with frost and hatred, then she said calmly, "You, too, are a Marine!"
"Lord Shaya once said, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent, right?"
Kizaru: "…"
How could this little girl be so eloquent? She truly lives up to her reputation as the big boss's secretary!
Kizaru said anxiously, "Miss Robin has really misunderstood. I actually greatly admire the scholars of Ohara. I've read all the books written by those masters, and I hold them in high esteem!"
"Oh? Can you tell me their names?"
Robin smiled playfully, reminding him, "Although I was young back then, I was eager to learn. I can recite all the masters' books by heart!"
Kizaru: "…"
Hey, hey, that's going too far!
How old were you back then? Are kids these days so fierce?
"Cough cough…"
After being seen through, Kizaru was helpless. He could only spread his hands and say with a bitter smile, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me!"
"But I beg you, don't insult me. I'm old, I can't take it."
He was caught!
Kizaru admitted that he was caught by Robin today.
Anyway, at most it would be a beating. As long as he didn't die, there would be opportunities.
Robin was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll tell you about one of Lord Shaya's plans…"
Hmm? Would she be so kind?
Kizaru was suspicious, but he made a show of listening intently.
"To be honest, your strength is not worth mentioning to Lord Shaya!"
"Not worth mentioning means mediocre, useless, not needed!"
Robin's words made Kizaru's heart pound. What did this mean?
That he could be killed without repercussions?
"Lord Shaya plans to bring in several million elites from Blue Star to expand the moon. There will be monthly assessments, and those who fail will be directly…"
Robin made a throat-slitting gesture, ignoring Kizaru's astonishment, and continued, "But unfortunately, Lord Shaya also said that unsealing your powers is meaningless to him, and he won't let you leave the moon."
"So, as a normal person, you are even more useless compared to several million elites. Therefore, at most in a month, after the assessment, you will be…"
This little girl is too terrifying!
Kizaru saw confidence and determination in Robin's eyes. What did this mean?
Even if there wasn't this plan, she would propose it to Shaya and start it.
After all, the moon was truly too desolate. Perhaps mediocre people wouldn't be directly killed, but their fate would definitely not be good!
And for Kizaru, who only wanted to clock in and out and live a leisurely life, mediocrity was unbearable, let alone the possibility of being killed.
But Kizaru also understood that Robin was just trying to scare him, and her purpose was naturally… "Miss Robin, actually, you don't need to say so much…"
After a long silence, Kizaru said with a sigh of relief, "I'm just like an ordinary person, I don't have any great ideals."
"I'm also afraid of death, I just got lucky and ate a Devil Fruit, lucky to be more talented than ordinary people, lucky not to have died on the way."
"Worshipping the strong is human nature. Submitting to Lord Shaya does not make me feel difficult."
These were Kizaru's true feelings!
Did he need any self-respect to submit to an existence stronger than himself?
Shouldn't mortals revere gods?
Watching Kizaru's changing expression, until it finally became as calm as still water,
Robin was stunned for a long time before she spoke, "Pirates at least don't have an upper hierarchy, but you betrayed the Marine, betrayed the World Government. Don't you have any shame?"
"That's nothing, just changing jobs, normal procedure!"
Kizaru shrugged. Was there anything wrong with what he said?
It's better to live than to die for pride. Wasn't he still serving under the World Government now?
Didn't he still listen to the Fleet Admiral's orders every day and run various errands?
Didn't he still often endure the insults of the Celestial Dragons?
Life as an Admiral was tough. It was better to follow Shaya!
It's just changing bosses, too simple!
Hmm, just pay my salary!
"You won, congratulations on recovering your strength, colleague!"
After saying that, Robin turned around and left.
Kizaru was too unrestrained, too free-spirited, which made Robin a little envious, but that was only her past self.
The current Robin no longer envies anyone!
"I'm about to change bosses, I wonder how much the salary will be?!"
Kizaru stroked his chin, his face full of longing!
To be honest, he wasn't short on money; every day, countless people brought him money.
However, there was no sense of accomplishment at all. Kizaru, of all people, had a deep obsession with salary!
Recalling the past, Sengoku once raised Kizaru's salary. On that very day, Kizaru, excited, charged into the New World,
slaughtering more than a dozen beings with bounties over 500 million before finally calming down.
If the salary was right, he, Kizaru, would dare to single-handedly invade a Four Emperors Pirate Group, killing his way in and out seven times!
"I, Kizaru, would rather give up all this ill-gotten wealth, but I long to become the number one wage earner in the world!"
Shaya: "..."
At Peak of Moon Jade, Shaya's eyelid almost twitched off!
He hadn't expected Kizaru to be such an oddball, not greedy for money, but greedy for salary?
Then if I double your salary, will you, with your salary in place, destroy the Four Emperors?!
"My Lord, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
While peeling fruit for Shaya, Vivi spoke softly, her face flushed. Why was My Lord's eyelid twitching so much? Was he sick?
"It's nothing, I'm thinking of subduing the Shichibukai again. I'm not sure which target to choose first."
Shaya was indeed preparing to go to sea again, after all, the Red Hair Pirates and Kizaru were about to submit.
Once these people submitted, and Shaya's strength merged, his external power would reach the five-star peak, or even quasi-six-star level, making him initially invincible!
But Shaya still needed to be extremely cautious, after all, there were too many kinds of abilities in this world!
Death curses! Space banishment! Time reversal, and so on! All were possible!
"Shichibukai?"
Vivi was not surprised by Shaya's subduing of powerful individuals. Blushing, she suggested, "My Lord, what about Empress? I heard she's the world's most beautiful woman, and..."
"And, she's an adult."
Hm?
Shaya raised an eyebrow. This little girl was quite thoughtful!
Shaya was indeed interested in the Pirate Empress. It was simple: he was a normal man... he coveted her body!
However, Shaya didn't like Hancock's personality—narcissistic, arrogant, and conceited... so a relationship was impossible. He could only take her as a maid, or rather, there was no woman in this world with enough talent to move Shaya's heart!
No, perhaps there could be feelings!
"Time" makes for feelings!
