Uh... eh?
The two women stared blankly at Ron's expression.
This isn't the only secret... Could there be an even bigger one?
Who exactly is our captain?
Facing the gazes of Nico Robin and Connie, Ron crossed his arms and said seriously, "The reason I'm telling you in advance is so that you won't be too surprised no matter what I do in the future."
"Now that we've said everything we needed to say, let's go back and rest for the night. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
“Ron, wait a minute, that Poneglyph…”
Robin called out to Ron, who was walking into the house.
Ron waved his hand with his back to her: "Don't worry, I've got it. We'll see when we get on the ship. Let's rest tonight."
Robin breathed a sigh of relief.
……
At dawn the next morning.
The three of them left the Alabasta capital together and headed towards the Green City they had come from.
on the way.
Nico Robin and Connie gradually became closer.
She, like Ron, gave Connie a lot of advice regarding the development of her Devil Fruit ability.
During the ten-odd days of crossing the desert.
Connie gradually developed two moves.
Wings of Steel and Dance of Blades.
Wings of Steel.
Although Connie has wings on her back, they are just decorations and cannot move or fly. However, by controlling steel, a pair of steel wings can be formed on her back, and by riding the steel, she can achieve flight.
It can also flap its steel wings in the air and shoot out a large number of sharp iron pieces downwards, like a rainstorm, with considerable power.
The Dance of the Blades involves controlling steel to form several freely changing blades that swirl around the body and are controlled by the mind. It combines offense and defense, enabling both close combat and short-to-medium range attacks.
Currently, she can only control three blades at will, all of which are palm-sized, resembling daggers, with a maximum speed roughly the same as a lead bullet.
However, as she further develops her Iron-Iron Fruit abilities, the quantity and size she can control will inevitably see a qualitative improvement in speed.
……
Not long after passing through the Green City, the Voyager came into view, docked on the inland coast.
That's our ship.
Ron pointed at the ship and laughed at Robin.
"A nice ship."
Robin looked at the ship and praised it.
Having changed her appearance, with her long blonde hair cascading down to her waist and wrapped in a white robe, Connie looked even more like a pure and beautiful angel. When she saw the Voyager ship, which was completely intact, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
During her time in the desert, her biggest worry was this ship.
Fortunately, it's okay.
The three approached the side of the boat.
Immediately, there was movement on the water's surface.
A dozen small figures emerged from the water and blocked the way for the ship.
"Mmm!"
It was the Kung Fu Manatee that Ron and his friends encountered when they arrived here.
After the lead kung fu manatee clearly saw Ron's appearance...
Its wary little eyes instantly lit up, filled with surprise and excitement.
With a flick of its tail, the little tail pounced to Ron's feet, hugged his legs, and rubbed against him vigorously.
"Mmm... (Master, you're finally back!)"
"This is……?"
Robin looked at the kung fu manatee clinging to Ron's leg, then glanced at Conis beside him.
Connie laughed and told her the whole story.
After hearing this, Robin covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched Ron's retreating figure.
He actually took a kung fu manatee as his disciple and even wanted to take it out to sea with him. He's truly an unpredictable fellow...
Ron patted its head:
"Indeed, you did complete the task I assigned you before I left. Alright, from today onwards you are my disciple. If you are willing, you can board my ship and sail with me."
"Mmm!! (Great! I'm in!)"
The kung fu manatee was incredibly excited and thrilled by his words, its tail swishing so fast it almost created a phantom.
"Don't be so happy. If you neglect your martial arts in the future, I will expel you from the sect."
"Mmm...uh...uh...uh...(I promise I won't!!)"
"Okay. From today onwards, you will be called Xiao Qi."
"Oh oh oh!!"
The Kungfu Manatee gazed at Ron with shining, adoring eyes.
They seem quite satisfied with the name.
"Let's go."
"Mmm!!"
Watching the man and the manatee communicate fluently in their different languages as they walked toward the ship, Robin and Connie exchanged a smile and followed.
The Voyager raised its sails, turned around, and slowly left the island.
……

98. Deciphering the Poneglyphs: Robin's Shock (1/4, Customization Requested!)
With its sails hoisted, the Voyager cuts through the waves and sails on the vast blue sea.
A sea breeze blows, and the sunlight is warm.
After removing the small wings from her back, Connie, with her flowing blonde hair and sweat-drenched face, stood on the deck, diligently manipulating the three steel blades floating around her to practice attack and defense.
Not far from her.
The kung fu manatee, nicknamed Xiao Qi, wore a steel vest and practiced its boxing techniques diligently, sweating profusely, but its small eyes shone brightly.
Under a few small fruit trees in one corner of the deck.
Cloud Fox Sisi was having a great time playing with a ball of yarn.
……
The library is fairly spacious.
Robin was shocked, surprised, and even more excited as he looked at the three huge stone tablets in front of him.
"This is?"
"The first piece was found in the burial temple of the Alabasta Kingdom, the second piece was found in a mysterious deep pit in the Alabasta desert, and the third piece was found on the Sky Island."
Ron leaned back in his chair and smiled at her, who was looking excited.
"Shall we try to decipher it?"
He didn't need to say it.
Excited, Nicole Robin stepped forward and touched the first stone tablet.
She stared at the ancient characters for a long time, her pupils flickering slightly.
Noticing the change in her emotions, Ron watched her retreating figure and said:
"Is that the ancient weapon Hades recorded on it?"
Robin hummed in agreement.
Then she turned to look at Ron:
"This document records that Pluto was a super warship designed and built by the shipwrights of Water Seven. Its power was terrifying; a single shot was enough to destroy an island. It was an ultimate weapon capable of destroying the world."
“Ron, if possible, I hope you can allow me to keep its location from you for the time being. Such a weapon... really should not appear on the sea again.”
Listening to Robin's words and looking at her serious expression, Ron smiled.
