Chapter 25: Mature older sisters are indeed difficult to deal with.
In the corridor, west Yan led Nico Robin from room to room searching for CP9's whereabouts, but unfortunately, they seemed to be afraid of west Yan and did not appear at all, which made west Yan somewhat helpless.
"It seems they're all afraid of you," Nico Robin said with a smile.
"Still laughing."
west Yan rolled his eyes at Nico Robin and said, "How can I free you if we don't catch them sooner?"
This mature woman is really calm, as if she's not the one being restrained by the sea stone handcuffs.
"But there's nothing you can do about these things if you rush them," Nico Robin said. "They won't just come to you willingly and let you beat them up."
"You're really calm; you become obedient when danger strikes."
"Isn't Mr. Ninja protecting me?" Nico Robin winked playfully. "You won't let me get hurt, right?"
At this moment, Nico Robin was no longer the person who had been terrified of the Buster Call; she was now strolling around like she was in a backyard.
"That's true," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "However, in that case, you might not be able to see for yourself how I stopped the Demon-Slaying Order."
"Then let's catch them as soon as possible," Nico Robin said.
Yeah, serious face.
Now that she had decided to trust Xiyan, Nico Robin wanted to see with her own eyes how Xiyan would stop the Buster Call.
At the same time... she also hoped that she could be of help.
She's not some useless vase that needs protection; once the sea stone handcuffs on her hands are removed, she can become a formidable fighting force!
As partners, how could we just stand by and watch our partners risk their lives for her without doing anything in return?
"You, you." west Yan chuckled helplessly, then opened the door beside him and said, "Let's hope we run into those guys soon."
"Squeak~"
As the door opened, the scene inside came into view.
The room was empty, containing only a few pieces of wooden furniture and nothing else.
"Looks like I didn't win," Nico Robin said.
"Hmm, I need to think of a way..." west Yan pondered.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came from above, accompanied by a huge shaking, as if something powerful was attacking the tower itself.
"That's quite a commotion," west Yan said.
"It seems everyone is fighting hard..." Nico Robin said, clenching her fists.
She longed to join the fight, but there was nothing she could do; she was just a burden, bound by sea stone handcuffs.
If west Yan hadn't been protecting her closely, she could have been taken away at any moment by that guy with the Door-Door Fruit.
That wouldn't help your friends at all; in fact, it would only cause them trouble. After all... west Yan went to great lengths to get her back!
Upon hearing this, west Yan glanced at Nico Robin. Judging from her demeanor, her true feelings were not what she had said.
west Yan pondered that Nico Robin was probably also very anxious, but she didn't want her anxiety to affect him, which was why she deliberately said those lighthearted words.
In that case... let's give it a try!
"Robin, do you believe me?"
"What are you saying, sir ninja..." Nico Robin smiled, then said with a very serious expression, "west Yan, I believe in you, I trust you one hundred percent!"
"Do whatever you want, don't worry about me."
Although west Yan was just a newcomer to the Straw Hat Pirates, and it was the first time she had ever met him.
But... the other party's actions have completely won her trust!
Moreover, this man was willing to face the Demon-Slaying Order for her sake... what reason did she have not to trust west Yan?
It's safe to say that even if Xi Yan pointed a gun at Nico Robin now, Nico Robin would still think that there was an enemy behind her!
This is the trust that west Yan has earned through his actions during this period!
Seeing Nico Robin's very serious expression, west Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
"What are you planning to do?" Nico Robin asked curiously. "How can I cooperate with you?"
"Wait a moment."
west Yan first went into the room next door, and after a few seconds came out and said, "Here, keep this with you."
Looking at the scroll-like object in west Yan's hand, Nico Robin asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's just a scroll."
"oh."
Nico Robin nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
"Where should I put it?" west Yan asked, looking Nico Robin up and down.
"Put it in my arms," Nico Robin said. "This outfit is the only one I can put in my arms."
"In my arms..."
Seeing Nico Robin leaning closer, west Yan hesitated for a moment. It seemed like she was wearing... a dress!
Seeing west Yan's expression, Nico Robin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You carried me all the way here, and now you're shy?"
"But Mr. Ninja looks really funny~"
"Giggle giggle~"
Nico Robin laughed heartily; she really hadn't expected this man who dared to challenge the Buster Call to perform like this.
west Yan: ......
Was I being teased by the older sister?
"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do," Nico Robin said. "My hands are tied right now, so I can't cooperate with you. You'll have to do it yourself."
"Don't make things sound so strange!!"
After quickly shoving the reel into Nico Robin's arms, west Yan said, "Okay, don't drop it."
"You've stuffed it so tight, I can't get it out even if I wanted to..."
west Yan looked away; mature older women were indeed not easy to deal with.
"What are you going to do?" Nico Robin asked curiously.
west Yan didn't answer. Instead, he glanced around and, seeing nothing unusual, whispered to Nico Robin, "I'll put you in the room first, and then I'll come back for you after I've taken care of the enemy."
Although Nico Robin was puzzled, she nodded and said, "I understand."
Since Xi Yan might have some kind of battle plan, and CP9 members might be nearby, Nico Robin had no intention of asking.
She would understand everything after the battle was over.
Reaching a room, west Yan used the same trick again to open it, and this time it was empty.
west Yan pushed Nico Robin inside and said, "Wait for me here."
"I need to take down at least one CP9 member before the Buster Call arrives."
"Remember, don't run around!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll wait for you here obediently," Nico Robin replied cooperatively.
west Yan nodded, then closed the door.
After glancing around and finding no trace of enemies, he ran towards the stairs in the distance.
......
A moment later, in Nico Robin's room.
A peculiar door gradually opened through the air, and a hand reached out from inside, followed by a head that looked like a bull!
"To do something like that is really stupid," Bruno said.
Upon hearing Bruno's voice, Nico Robin's pupils contracted instantly. Turning around, she saw a tall figure standing in the air portal, staring at her expressionlessly.
"It's you..."
"Didn't you tell him that I'm a Door-Door Fruit user?"
"Nicole Robin".
