Ace's Sims

Chapter 162 Something More Important Than Life
Looking at this childish boy, Robin couldn't connect him with the big pirate with a bounty of one billion.

Ace in front of him was just a big boy with freckles on his face and a hearty smile.

The big pirate with a bounty of one billion is one of the few existences in this sea.

But it happened that such a big boy defeated Crocodile in Alabasta without any effort.

"Nice to meet you too, Nicole Robin."

Ace grinned and said, "But should I call you Devil's Son, or Miss. Eternal Sunday?"

As soon as these words came out, Robin's expression changed immediately.

Whether it's the former or the latter, where did this guy Ace know?

Although the arrest warrant for the Devil's Son was issued more than ten years ago, thanks to her years of hiding, the photos that led to the arrest warrant have always been her childhood photos.

Therefore, there are very few people who can know her true identity now.

As for the code name of Eternal Sunday, compared with the Devil's Son, it is irrelevant.

Judging from the fact that Ace only killed Crocodile in Alabasta, he is actually not very interested in the other members of the Baroque Works.

"What do you mean?"

Robin forced himself to calm down and asked.

Ace just shook his head with a smile and didn't reply.

When Robin saw this, his face blushed, and he suddenly realized.

It seems that from the very beginning, she took the initiative to find Ace.

"Tell me, Nicole Robin, what do you want from me?"

Ace asked proactively.

Robin didn't speak at this time, but shook his head slightly.

To be honest, even she herself didn't know why she came to Ace. It was a coincidence that she rushed to the capital of water overnight, and then wanted to meet Ace.

But now she is quite confused about her future.

Ever since the O'Hara incident when she was eight years old, she has been hiding in the underground world, and she has done a lot of dirty things to survive.

Now I finally found a fairly stable and not so dirty job with Crocodile, but not long after that, Crocodile and his baroque work agency collapsed, and she became a Rootless duckweed.

Robin's shaking of the head was obviously beyond Ace's expectation.

He knew how dangerous Robin's identity as the Devil's Son was. Once it was revealed, the danger he would face would be no less than himself.

So, when he just received the note, he thought that Nicole Robin had something important to see him.

If it weren't for Robin being Luffy's partner, Ace wouldn't mind taking Robin on board and becoming his partner.

Anyway, on his ship, there are people who are not recognized by the world, and one more Robin is not a big deal.

But precisely because of Luffy's partner, Ace has no way to send out this invitation.

"So, Nicole Robin, why did you follow Crocodile?"

Ace asked suddenly.

He was rather curious about this.

It's not surprising that a guy like Crocodile takes in Robin, but there must be a reason, right?

"Did you know about the O'Hara incident 17 years ago?"

Robin suddenly raised an irrelevant question and asked.

"The O'Hara incident..."

Ace's face darkened.

Of course he knows about this, or rather, who among the top forces in the world doesn't know about this?
Before the O'Hara incident 17 years ago, O'Hara was a world-renowned archaeological site, just like the cultural kingdom of Stadi and the barbecue site Rost Island, which are known to the whole world.

But on this island, because of the order of the Tianlong people of the world government, a brutal and terrifying incident happened.

Demon slaying order.

A huge combat force composed of five lieutenant generals and ten warships bombarded O'Hara wantonly, turning that peaceful and peaceful island into a purgatory on earth.

And Robin is the only survivor among them.

It was also after the O'Hara incident that Robin was on the wanted warrant and won a reward of 7900 million as a little girl.

"As the only survivor of O'Hara Island, I must inherit the mission of the teachers and bring the truth of history back to reality."

Robin looked firmly and said, "I agreed to be Crocodile's collaborator only because in the tomb of the Neferutali family, there is a historical text that records the historical truth 800 years ago."

"Crocodile thought that the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Pluto was recorded there, but it was not. It was only a record of the truth."

No wonder.

Hearing this, Ace suddenly realized.

No wonder Crocodile swore to himself that he was fooled to get the ancient weapon Pluto.

It’s just pity for those ordinary people in the Kingdom of Alabasta. Just because of an illusory rumor, they suddenly encountered disaster, and there was no rain in March.

If it didn't happen that Crocodile provoked himself, then this drought would probably continue until three years later, when Luffy went to sea to start his story.

But what Ace cares more about is not Crocodile, but Robin's firm gaze.

He couldn't understand, was the truth of history important to them?

For that little thing 800 years ago, the entire O'Hara Island was buried with it, and I don't know how many people died.

Now Robin, as the only survivor, is desperately trying to get in touch with all of this.

Maybe one day in the future, Robin may actually unravel all this and make it public.

But Ace felt that not many people would care about these, right?
Ambitious pirates, all they want is chaos.

On the side of the world government, they will only try their best to cover up everything, and then slaughter more people.

As for the navy, they are the ones who execute the Demon Slaying Order.

"Is this really worth it?"

Ace moved his mouth, and after several times of hesitating to speak, he sighed slightly and asked.

"There is always something more important than life, isn't it?"

Robin smiled slightly and said.

Is that right?

Hearing this, Ace understood.

Yes, there are always some things that are more important than life.

For me, the bonds of my companions, and the love of Luffy, these things are more important than life.

For Robin, what is more important than life is the truth of history.

As she said, as the only survivor of O'Hara, she has the obligation to inherit the responsibility of those archaeologists and return the truth to the public.

Whether people care or not, it doesn't matter to them.

As historians and archaeologists, it is their job and obligation to restore the truth of history.

What's more, if even Robin gave up on this matter, wouldn't the sacrifices of those in the O'Hara incident be completely meaningless?
