One Piece: My Spirit

Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Benefits

Robin didn't have too many emotional fluctuations when facing Shire's "this is for you". Instead, he replied lightly, because Robin knew that this was Shire's deliberate teasing, and this kind of situation is not uncommon.

Seeing that Robin was not fooled, Charles shrugged his shoulders and stopped struggling, and then explained to Robin: "This may be an opportunity to obtain the text of Alabasta's history."

"Alabasta? Chance?"

The text of Alabasta's history has always been hidden by the Naferutali royal family, and this is also the target that Crocodile has been searching for these years.

It was also because of this piece of historical text that Robin joined the Baroque Work Club, and then there was a series of things that followed.

It's just that because of Shire's insertion, Robin and Crocodile broke up early. At this time, Robin did not find the historical text of Alabasta that was hidden in the plot of the original book.

However, Shire knows that the information recorded in the historical text of Alabasta is very important, so Shire has always kept an eye on this historical text that records the ancient weapon 'Pluto'.

It’s just that, just like what Shire said to Robin back then, Shire didn’t want to help Alabasta in order to seek this piece of history. Whether it was Shire’s strength at the time, or his status as a navy and other factors, he didn’t support Shire’s doing so, but it’s different now

When Robin heard Shire mentioning 'Alabasta, the main text of history', she contacted Shire's conversation with Hamedas and others before. She guessed what Shire should have planned, and Robin vaguely grasped the key.

"Do you want to use Visalia's meteorological technology?" Robin thought for a moment and looked at Charles with a 'proof' eyes.

"That's right."

Shire nodded, confirming Robin's guess. Shire wanted to make a deal with the royal family of Naferutali with the help of Hamedas and others' Visalia weather technology!

At this time, although the domestic situation in Alabasta is not as precarious as when Luffy and others met in the original plot, it is already in a state of desperation at this time, and it also gives Charles enough room to negotiate a deal.

At this time, Alabasta is falling into the predicament of drought in most areas, and a small number of deserted towns have begun to appear in the inland areas due to lack of rainfall.

At the same time, because of Shire and Robin, Crocodile has a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, this year, Crocodile's penetration and destruction of Alabasta came earlier and more tyrannically than in the original book. Almost every month, it will always be attacked by sandstorms four to five times, and the collapse of Alabasta is rapidly intensifying!

But Visalia's weather technology is Crocodile's nemesis!

Visalia's meteorological technology can wipe out the "natural disaster" artificially created by Crocodile. Once the "natural disaster" in Alabasta is eliminated, Alabasta will also get a chance to breathe. Facing the life and death of the country, Charles is confident that he can get what he wants from the Neferutali royal family!

Robin has also figured out the stakes between them, so he has to lament that Charles's chess move is so good!Because of the situation created by Crocodile's careful planning, it is very likely that he will try to make a wedding dress for others at this time!

"Although there are suspicions of taking advantage of the fire, this is the reality."

Shire knew that doing this was really meant to take advantage of the fire and coerce, but the reality is that there is no such thing as right or wrong in the adult world, only gains and losses.

Just like before, Ciel will not help Alabasta to expose Crocodile's conspiracy for no reason, because it is meaningless to Ciel, and it will only make him fall into it.

The strong save themselves, the saint saves others!

It is unrealistic to blindly wait for the so-called "savior" to appear to save everyone. People must learn to save themselves. Only oneself can save themselves. Putting all hopes on the thoughts of others is not advisable in Charles' view.

Charles knows that he is not a saint, and he does not have enough ability to selflessly see one and save another. All he can do is to ensure that he has enough ability to protect himself and the people he cares about.

"Robin, do you think it's too utilitarian for me to do this? It makes people feel ruthless to calculate gains and losses in everything?" Charles suddenly asked Robin.

Robin seemed to be looking at Charles in surprise, Robin shook his head and denied what Charles said without thinking too much.

"I don't think so, if it's like what you said, then you wouldn't have come when you were in Alabasta, and you wouldn't have defied the Celestial Dragons when you faced the Celestial Dragons in the Chambord Islands, so... I don't think that you, Charles, are really a utilitarian person."

Sometimes Shire's actions do have a strong purpose, but Robin knows that this is only on the surface. In essence, Shire is not a complete utilitarian, and Robin does not think that Shire's approach is wrong. Robin himself has experienced a lot of darkness and suffering, and he understands Shire's approach and considerations.

"In fact, I think that sometimes the transaction relationship established by the two parties is stronger than the so-called 'relationship'. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to maintain the relationship between the two parties by relying on the so-called pure 'friendship' for a long time. The most suitable and strongest relationship is both 'friendship' and 'interest'."

Robin's views are largely due to the dark experience of running away for more than ten years. She has also passed the age of helping others as soon as she thinks about it.

"Although that's what I said, sometimes I myself have a hot-headed impulse." Sometimes Robin himself is more emotional than rational, so Robin can't help but cover his face halfway here.

"Then what is the relationship between me and you?" Charles suddenly asked Robin, is the relationship between the two 'interests'?Or is it 'friendship'?Or is it both?

Robin looked at Charles with a slight upward smile and said, "Guess?"

"Uh"

After seeing Robin's half-smile expression, Charles couldn't figure out what was going on in Robin's mind for a while.

When Charles was talking with Robin, a large sea of ​​white clouds appeared in the sky not far away, and that was the White Sea, which also meant that the sky island was very close.
