Chapter 92: First Encounter with Nicole Robin
Mu Chong and his group sat in the Jin Yuan BMW, chatting and laughing. Although the yellow sand was still swirling in the air, their occasional bursts of laughter made the dry air seem less oppressive.
After walking for a while, through the light filtering through the yellow sand and dust, a dark dot could be vaguely seen ahead. As it drew closer, the dark dot gradually emerged from the ground.
"A town! Finally, a town! I can't stand this damn desert any longer!"
Slad put his hand on his forehead, craned his neck to look at the faintly visible buildings ahead, and said happily.
Click!
"Hmm? It seems we'll have to wait a little longer before we can go in, Slade!"
Enel, sitting next to him, took a bite of his apple, glanced ahead, and casually said...
"what happened?"
Slad looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.
"Look, there's someone up ahead, it looks like they're waiting for us!"
Aisha raised her hand and pointed forward, answering Slade's question.
"Huh? What's wrong with you guys... Tch, so what if you have a wide range of Observation Haki? Just wait and see!"
Slad was taken aback at first, then deflated. He was helpless; his mastery of Observation Haki was no match for Slad's.
At this moment, Mu Chong, who was sitting cross-legged at the front, stretched comfortably and slowly stood up.
"You all walk slowly, I'll go check ahead!"
After Mu Chong finished speaking, he lightly stepped forward, raised his hand to press down on the hat on his head, and his body soared into the air. His white robe fluttered in the wind, making him incredibly handsome.
"Hey guys, I bet our captain knows that guy over there!"
Watching Mu Chong disappear into the distance, Slad's face revealed an all-knowing expression, and he said mysteriously.
Is it strange that the captain knows that person?
Baku, sitting in the back, replied in a muffled voice, which he considered perfectly normal.
"Yeah! I feel like the captain knows everything. It's not surprising that he knows that guy from the front!"
Elsa leaned against the white cat Mumu, a look of complete entitlement on her face.
"Meow!!!"
The white cat, Mumu, looked sincerely at Slard, nodding its big head a few times with a panting sound, clearly agreeing as well.
"Hey, you guys... Hey, Enel, wake up, what do you think?"
Seeing no useful information, Slade turned to look at Enel, who was lying there with his eyes half-closed.
"Tch, what does it have to do with me? Call me when the fighting starts! You gossipy navigator!"
……
"gallant?"
"Nicole Robin!"
The man was handsome and dashing, the woman beautiful and elegant. They met for the first time in the desert and greeted each other politely.
Wearing a white cowboy hat, with long, straight, jet-black hair cascading down her back, she was tall and poised. A long white fur coat covered her entire body, down to her white knee-high boots, but even with the coat buttoned up tightly, it couldn't conceal her magnificent figure.
As Nicole Robin flew down from Mu Chong, she had been observing the man. He wore a white hat, had a sharply defined face, was tall, wore flowing white robes, and had a sword at his waist. In her mind, only a chivalrous hero deserved this appearance. So, the moment Mu Chong landed, Robin immediately uttered the words "chivalrous hero."
Mu Chong also gazed at the graceful beauty before him, who was like a sunflower blooming in an endless desert, instantly refreshing and delightful.
However, compared to Mu Chong's nonchalant attitude, Robin was somewhat surprised. It was indeed their first meeting, so why was this chivalrous man able to call him by name so readily?
"Hero, do you recognize me?"
Facing the smiling Mu Chong, Robin still asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Yes, I have heard of your name, but this is the first time I've met you in person!"
Mu Chong was already nearly 1.9 meters tall, but Robin was almost the same height as him. While marveling at Robin's height, he still politely replied...
"Oh? Then, in the eyes of a chivalrous hero, what am I really like?"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Robin paused slightly, then a smile appeared on her face. She gently tossed her long hair with her hand and spoke in a soft tone.
Seeing this, Mu Chong's lips curled into a slight smile. Amidst Robin's panicked gaze, he suddenly took a step forward, his strong arms encircling Robin's slender waist.
"Your beauty surpasses that of the past and present, even the lotus flower blushes with shame! I was deeply attracted to you at our first meeting, but..."
At this point, Mu Chong suddenly released Robin's slender waist, took a step back, and continued speaking with a smile.
"Right now, you're like a rose with thorns—incredibly beautiful, yet aloof and unapproachable. Perhaps you'll only be your true self when you feel secure enough! Hahaha! Don't worry, I mean you no harm!"
After Mu Chong finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed to the two palms that had appeared on the back of his neck.
Seeing Mu Chong's gesture, Robin calmly lowered his arms, which had been crossed in front of his chest, but a faint blush appeared on his face.
"A chivalrous hero... truly extraordinary!"
In a moment, Robin regained her aloof demeanor; the cunning older sister was back in action.
"Isn't this chivalrous behavior risky? This is the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If I remember correctly, this chivalrous person is a key target of the World Government!"
Robin tightened his long, furry coat, crossed his arms in front of him, and calmly looked at Mu Chong, saying...
"Hahaha! It seems that meeting you here is no accident, Robin. Crocodile must have received orders from the World Government to arrange for you to wait for me here. Let me think..."
Mu Chong spoke casually, completely ignoring Robin's expression, which gradually turned to surprise.
"Given the size of this island, it wouldn't be difficult to pinpoint exactly which direction I landed from. However, it's possible I changed my course, so there must be people guarding other directions as well. Crocodile's decision to spread his men out so widely suggests that he's not trying to stop me from fighting him. Therefore, there's only one other purpose: to make contact with me and probe my intentions!"
As Mu Chong finished speaking, he looked into Robin's eyes again, and seeing the surprise in her gaze, he smiled slightly.
"Hmm, it seems I guessed right. Well then, I'll leave the rest of my schedule to you, Miss Robin!"
Mu Chong raised his hand, removed his hat from his head, and placed it in front of his chest. Then, he bent forward slightly, displaying a gentlemanly gesture.
"Pfft, hehehehe! This humble woman is deeply honored to serve as a guide for the chivalrous hero!"
Robin was amused by Mu Chong's last action and covered her mouth to laugh. She then suppressed her surprise, glanced behind Mu Chong, and said with composure,
"I imagine you must be tired from your journey and a bit hungry. How about I take you into town to have some food first, and then we can make our plans?"
"Haha! We'll follow your lead, Miss Robin. Please make your arrangements as you see fit. We're just here to replenish our food supplies!"
Seeing Robin's actions, Mu Chong knew that Slad and the others had arrived. He replied to Robin, then turned and jumped into the golden horse carriage.
"captain!!"
As soon as Mu Chong arrived, a gossipy face loomed over him, looking as lewd as could be.
"Captain, I saw you hug her just now..."
boom!
Before Slad could finish speaking, he was sent flying, landing hard on his backside behind the carriage.
Then Mu Chong turned his head and glanced around at the other people in the carriage. They quickly stopped their gossiping and avoided Mu Chong's gaze.
"Tch, one by one..."
Mu Chong was speechless at everyone's ulterior motives; he never imagined that gossiping would be so popular everywhere.
Just then, the carriage pulled up beside Robin and stopped.
"Come on up, Robin. We're still a while from town. If you don't mind, we can walk together?"
Mu Chong shouted down to Robin below.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the carriage consciously made room in front of it, a gesture that made Mu Chong so embarrassed that he scratched his toes.
"Hehehe, okay!"
Robin agreed, and the next moment, she crossed her arms over her chest, whispered something, and arms began to grow from the ground until a ladder appeared beside the carriage. Then, to everyone's astonishment, Robin smiled and climbed the ladder, sitting down next to Mu Chong.
"The Flower Fruit is really useful!"
"Wow! This hero knows quite a lot!"
Hahaha!! What do you think?
The golden chariot then continued towards the town ahead.
"Hey, Captain, wait for me!!!"
