Chapter 159 - Chapter 161 (1/2)

On the Grand Line, on the desert island, inside the Alabasta kingdom, Robin was walking down the dry and sandy roads leading to Crocodile's casino. She walked like royalty and she held her head high, looking down on anyone crossing her path. After meeting with Amell, she realized her identity once again. She was the granddaughter of the Enigmatic emperor. The strongest emperor, no doubt. After their meeting, she started to pay attention to how she carried herself and how she talked to people. Her entire aura had changed and you could see a mini version of an emperor growing inside of her.

From nowhere, Minerva appeared and snatched her away from her current path. They appeared on a random rooftop almost like teleportation. Robin had to take a step to steady herself. ”Minerva, what did I say about doing that!” Her tone was audible and domineering, nothing like the previous her. But if you paid close attention you could still hear that timid and laid back personality through her tone, since she wasn't quite used to acting like Amell yet.

”Apologise, lady Robin, but I thought this was quite exciting news, so I got carried away.” Minerva gave Robin a newspaper and Robin looked at the page Minerva had already pulled up.

”W-What!? A war? Is Grandpa okay?” Robin asked urgently after reading the first words on the page. Minerva nodded, ”Keep reading!” she said impatiently.

”H-He killed Kaido? Grandpa!” Robin said and fell on her butt. She let go of the newspaper and closed her eyes.

”Isn't it awesome!” Minerva was almost bouncing around in excitement.

”No! It is not awesome!” Robin raised her voice and glared at Minerva. ”Grandpa is all I got, and I just got him back! I don't wanna lose him again to some stupid war.” Robin fully believes Amell was the strongest in the world, so it wasn't that she doubted his strength.

”But you didn't lose him, didn't you read the rest. Kaido lost big time. It was a complete slaughter.”

Robin looked up at her and sighed, ”Yeah, I know. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to worry about him. Losing focus for one second is all it takes to die in a war, it doesn't matter if he is the strongest in the world I still don't want him starting wars around the world. Especially not wars with emperors.” Robin breathed in and out, trying to calm her beating heart.

”If you're worried about him, train and join him on the battlefield so you can look after him yourself,” Minerva said and sat down next to her on the ground.

”Do I look like someone that belongs on the battlefield?”

”Not really, then the way I see it, you only have one option.”

”And what's that?” Robin asked curiously.

”Believe in him. No one can hurt him. Believe that!” Minerva threw her arm around Robin's shoulders.

”You say that now until I am the one crying at his funeral.” Robin laughed a little to herself. She felt a little pathetic for not being able to believe in her grandpa.

”That will never happen. I am serious when I say that I think the captain is immortal or something. The stories I've heard about him, I don't know how people survive things like that if they're not immortal.” Minerva laughed out loud. She hit Robin on the back and stood up.

”If you say so,”

”Damn right I do! Now cheer up kiddo, you can't have that gloomy attitude when meeting with Crocodile.” Minerva grabbed hold of her and they both disappeared and reappeared on the street again.

”Damn it, Minerva, stop doing that! I am gonna throw up!” Robin had to start breathing deeply and calmly so she wouldn't throw up.
