Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Robin Appears, Is Luffy's Grandfather a Marine?
"It's still far away. A lot of time has passed, and I still haven't seen anything fly by."
In the sky, Su Yi was so bored that he fell asleep.
Although he is very fast in this form, it's still quite difficult to catch up to the Golden Merry.
"Wait, it seems there's something in the sea below."
Su Yi spotted a small target.
He lowered his altitude, but suddenly he was stunned.
"Nico Robin, it's her."
Yes, at this moment, floating in the sea was a very large turtle, and sitting on it was Nico Robin.
"Isn't it a bit early to meet? Well, Robin should be looking for Luffy and the others, and probably catching up before heading to Little Garden."
"Doesn't that mean you can catch up with Luffy and the others soon?"
Nico Robin is not someone who easily trusts others, much like Nami at first.
It would be difficult for her to blend in with the Straw Hat crew without going through the incident at Enies Lobby.
Su Yi didn't descend but continued flying in cloud form.
After a while, the Golden Merry appeared in front of him.
"Finally caught up."
As soon as he landed on the deck, a knife was placed against his neck.
At that moment, the surrounding maritime area was shrouded in dense fog, making it impossible to see who was on the other side.
"Who?!" A familiar voice came from behind.
"It's me," said Su Yi.
Upon hearing Su Yi's voice, Zoro finally felt relieved.
But then he wondered, "Didn't you stay at Whisky Peak to deal with the assassin?"
"I handled the assassin myself," Su Yi waved and yawned.
He was exhausted from the journey. For the first time, he had used two fruit abilities at the same time, and it had taken a long time.
It was a severe drain on his physical and mental strength.
And it was night again, and he hadn't slept almost all night.
"I'm going to bed first; by the way, there might be guests on board later, so you need to entertain them," said Su Yi as he entered the cabin.
After some time, there was a commotion outside.
Su Yi yawned and came out through the hatch.
Then he saw a figure sitting in front of him with the charm of a mature woman.
On the lower deck, Luffy and the others were waiting with all their might.
"Eh?"
Robin turned her head and saw Su Yi standing behind her, watching intently.
"It's not good to stare at a woman for too long."
Saying this, Su Yi suddenly felt several hands pulling at his body and was immediately thrown out through the hatch.
Is this the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit? I didn't expect hands to grow from my own body.
Su Yi flipped in the air and landed smoothly on the ground.
Robin smiled and looked at Su Yi and the others.
"It's a permanent indicator of an island next to Alabasta, one that even the organizers don't know exists."
She threw a Log Pose.
"This can help you go directly to Alabasta and save a lot of time."
"Don't do it!" Luffy suddenly broke the record pointer, "I'm the captain, and it's up to me to decide where to go!"
Nami started crying, "The other party might be a good person, and what's wrong with staying even if you don't need it?"
"I don't want it," Luffy said, throwing a tantrum.
"Alright, goodbye." Robin jumped off the Merry, got onto her turtle car, and quickly left.
Su Yi yawned and went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Yi had breakfast and read the newspaper.
Of course, he was reading the newspaper that Nami had read.
"Hey, Luffy, look here."
Su Yi suddenly pointed to a news article in the newspaper and said.
"What? Is it something funny?"
Luffy ran over and immediately saw a news item.
"Hero Garp walks through Reverse Mountain without changing his expression, but two of the Marine recruits are trembling in fear."
"Hoohoho, isn't that that kid Coby? He actually became a Marine!"
"Hey, doesn't that mean Garp is coming to the Grand Line?"
Su Yi recalled:
It seems this guy Luffy is really neurotic, even selectively ignoring the name of his grandfather.
—"The hero of the Marines, Garp?" Vivi leaned in.
Others also cast curious glances.
"Oh, he's my grandfather," Luffy casually dropped a shocking statement.
"Nani?!!!!!!!"
A group of people was immediately stunned.
A vice admiral of the Marines, second only to the admiral in status, turned out to be Luffy's grandfather?
"Hey! Luffy, are you an undercover agent put in by the Marines?" Zoro suddenly pulled out his knife and roared with cold sweat.
"What a joke, the old man and I have always disagreed. We only get the chance to fight!" Luffy said indifferently, picking his nose.
"Hey! It's too outrageous to say that. Your grandfather is a Marine, and a high-ranking Marine at that. Does it really matter? He shouldn't know that you're a pirate, right? Will he come to arrest you when he finds out? Damn it, we're in the spotlight of a vice admiral of the Marines..."
Usopp babbled on, and in the end, Luffy hit him without expression.
"Why did you hit me?" Usopp said, teary-eyed.
"I can't help it," said Luffy.
"Anyway, I'm the man who wants to become the King of the Pirates!" Luffy's firm tone finally snapped the group back to their senses.
"Ah, we believe you, but the news is just too shocking."
"Well, this guy, Coby, is actually with my grandfather. Has he also come to the Grand Line? I really hope to see him someday in the future," said Luffy with a smile.
