Chapter 78
Title: Robin in denial... Again?
….
–Robin Pov–
Sitting at the food table, I was lost in thought ...
Seeing Luci wearing an engagement ring and chatting with the girl named Vivi, I felt a little strange. Should I have this feeling? Is it a good thing to feel that way?
I'm not sure about this myself. But I can't hate him for this, it would be hypocrisy. After all, I was the one who suggested that..Wait, why would I suggest that?
I've forgotten? It was strange, but I guess I drank too much after suggesting it was natural for me to forget a few things. I'm ridiculous…
Sigh, I digress day by day.
"God..." Rubbing my temples, I take a glass of wine from the table... But before I could take a sip, I was forced to put it down because of the glare coming from it.
She's worried... I feel good.

–Pov General–
After the engagement, the Skypieans stayed in Alabasta for a few more days. Skypiea received recognition as the government of the underworld of an independent state. It was thanks to Amon's words, which almost everyone thought happened because Cobra asked him to do it. Actually, it was Amon's plan all along.
Meanwhile, Amon and Vivi are getting more and more familiar. Although Vivi soon realizes that they will get married in the future, she does not act rebellious as Cobra had expected. Instead, he acted meekly and shyly around Amon.
Raki sometimes tries to fight, but she is also easily dealt with by Amon.
Meanwhile, Robin can also approach Raki, as well as Isa and Aisa. She was happy to meet her mother figure, she was happy during the Skypieans stay here.

[A few days later]
"Hey, give me the ball!"
"No, it's mine!"
It was night time. Raki and Vivi are scrambling for basketball, while Amon sits on a chair chatting about official work with Robin sitting opposite him.
"By the way, do you think it's a good idea to let the blonde girl 'kick'?" Robin asked about Miss Valentine, Mikita. He was worried about the little girl. "She was a little stubborn, despite being afraid of her life as well. Maybe we should finish him off."
Robin said the last two words lightly as only Amon heard them. They have secret conversations that children should not understand.
Amon tapped on the table with his finger staring at him. "No, it's okay. I've done a lot with him .. he won't betray us, his family is held like a chicken."
Only Robin understood what Amon meant when he nodded. "I understand." He nodded and was silent for a moment. "Alright, should I present what happened today?"
"No, it's okay. You worked too hard even though I asked you not to ..." Amon sighed at his suggestion.
"OK..." Robin was silent. Day after day, he walked more towards the socially awkward side. "Then what now...? How do we move? What's the plan now?"
Amon leaned forward towards his face while putting his hand on his shoulder. "Plan?" whispered Amon. "Calm down, don't be too professional all the time. Rest, I need it too."
Amon crossed his arms over his shoulder. "I need to sleep. Will you help me sleep?... We'll talk tomorrow. Sleep with me~, or I'll have another nightmare."
While Raki stopped playing with Vivi hearing Amon, Robin sighed.
......
Right now, it was night and cold. The desert is very quiet at night, and feels very comfortable in a warm room. Amon still has trouble trying to sleep...
"Yawning ..." He yawns lightly while looking at the ceiling ...
'According to the spy on Fish-Man island, the queen left more than a week ago.' Amon has planted several spies in some parts of this world. With its tones mixed with the towers on Skypiea, as well as Whiskey Peak and many other Kingdoms in the world, Amon has a handy network service.
"I think it's time." He's leaving for Fishman Island soon. He plans to get closer to them and the easiest way for that to happen is Amon to act cliche, become a hero!
He had planned a lot and decided to take Robin, Cricket, and Raki there as well. He will take Robin to the Poneglyph, while Raki and Cricket to act in an emergency that may come at any time to the devil fruit user a thousand meters underwater.
'I sent Cricket to Saobody, only me, Raki and Robin left... Vaporize.'
Drowning in thought, Amon slowly fell asleep.
"Hi,"
...Or so he wants.
Amon opened his eyes while sighing and looking to the side. "How now? Robin, you can't sleep with me just because I asked..."
Robin did not answer and just looked into his eyes. "That's your fault. Who asked you to tell me about the Poneglyph in Skypiea. After hearing that, I couldn't sleep at all."
Robin had heard of it before, but this time after hearing about the Golden Belfry attached to her from Isa, she became restless.
"Yawning ..." Amon rubbed his eyes because he could not sleep. "Rooobin, I'm sleepy. You either sleep, or I'll attack you–Ouh!"
Robin hit him on the head. "Don't joke with that ..."
While Amon rubbed his head, Robin sighed. "But I guess... You're right, still, it's kind of hard to sleep. I've been trying for hours now."
Remaining silent for a minute or two, Amon then turned to her from the side with sleepy eyes. "Okay, okay. I'm gonna take you to the sky now."
While Robin blinks, Amon moves…
"Don't yell."
"Huh? Hey, wai–AAH!"
Amon passed electricity all over his body and moved quickly with Robin in his arms. He shouted, but Amon did not stop and reached Skypiea in less than 10 minutes.
Amon headed straight for the Poneglyph while Robin was surprised to see the Golden Belfry. As Robin begins to examine her, Amon decides to visit Nola.
–
It was a restless night in the sky. Tonight, the weather was very bad and small drops of rain fell. In the darkest sky, a single woman was sitting on a cloud of separate islands around the height of the Giant Jack.
"It's amazing."
The night-clothed woman, Robin had wide eyes looking at the golden Belfry in front of her.
It was huge, and the bell in the middle, which Wyper had cleaned for the past two years shone even on this dark, moonless night. Robin was a little scared, but she was curious to cover her heart.
As he tried to approach the bell, the main shock of the trip flashed in his eyes. It was the dark blue stone stone he was familiar with, which claimed the lives of his people indirectly. It was a Poneglyph!
Robin moved by himself as he walked towards the rock with a gaped expression! It was beautiful to him, it was one of the things that could keep him awake all night even if he was tired.
With a strange interested expression, he walked towards the Poneglyph. In this timeline, this is his 2nd Poneglyph.
"It's incredible…."
Robin muttered those words with a strange smile on his face.
"Who would have thought this Poneglyph held ancient info about Ancient weapons!" said Robin lightly. "In this way... we can—YA!"
Robin was happy, happy like he never was! This would look strange to his anime counterpart.
'Yes! We got one! Our first Ancient Weapon! Luci will succeed, Luci will not die!' His breathing grew rougher as he read the name of the weapon. 'Mermaid princess? You will be the first–wait..Wait..Wait..Wait...is this true? Is it okay for me to do this?'
It's thundering!
As the rain began to fall, Robin lost herself. 'Did I do it right?'
Did he do it right? Doing the opposite of what he promised himself that day? In order to protect history, would he really use that history for selfish reasons?
Suddenly, he was thrown into a dilemma. A question kept running through his mind. 'Should I... lie to him?'
Another thunder broke in the sky.
'I mean, it doesn't matter if he dies, I'll die with him! Yes, that way we lose nothing! I have to hide the contents, yes like it would be better. I shouldn't have broken that promise. I shouldn't have done what we Ohara residents were framed for... I shouldn't have–'
"Hey, Robin are you okay?"
"Ah, fucking rain. Don't worry, I've stopped it."
Suddenly, she was brought out of her dark little word in a sweet voice. He looked back as his world became bright. Bright with moonlight.
….
With his wet wings shining under the moonlight, Amon quickly walked towards him and touched his forehead with his wings. His nose also touched his nose, but he did not react.
"Wow, not only is your body shaking but your body is also burning...are you a Wyper?" Testing his body temperature, Amon tries to retreat but Robin holds him back. "Mr..."
"Stay like this .. for a while."
Remaining silent for a while, Amon's face could not be seen even under the bright moonlight. Immediately after, he simply smiled and massaged his back.
"As you wish my queen."

The next day, the Skypieans were on a large ship, preparing to leave. Today is the day they will go to heaven. They would use the Summit of the High West to travel to the Sky. Amon had enough knowledge about the place to know that it was safe in that place.
"Good guys, see you a month from now."
Amon, in disguise, waved his hand at the drifting ship. Everyone from the Skypiea team except Raki and Amon left.
'In my army, they are the strongest group beside Birkan. He'll be safe, I guess.' Amon looked at the ship that was barely visible to normal eyes. Shaking his head, he then looked to the side.
The King Cobra was beside her with Vivi peeking out from behind her.
Raki turns her face away from Vivi while the disguised Robin giggles. The wind blew and the early sunlight fell on these bunches. It's a peaceful sight. People saw this with smiles on their faces from around the place.
"Amon." Cobra put his hand on Amon's shoulder. He had revealed his name, but Cobra should only have called him this while he was undercover. "Faith, Fish-Man Island hates humans as far as I can tell."
Amon nodded lightly. "Don't worry. I know, I'll be careful. Anyhow..." Amon crouched down and raised his hand to Vivi's face. "I have a new person in my life to take care of, I will return safely."
While Cobra laughed lightly, Vivi hid behind him again. Raki grumbled from behind, but Robin patted his head. Robin is also undercover and a little confused as to how they would move on the sea without a ship.
'Wait.' Recalling the trip last night, he gulped in his heart. 'Oh no.'
Among them, they looked away from Vivi and looked towards Raki. "Don't put on a face like that and prepare yourself." While Raki replied with 'Huh?' Robin's body is shaking.
"H-Hey, can't we change the way we travel?" He asked with a trembling voice. "Like boats? Or ships? Let's get on the Guild Jet-ship!"
"Pff! No, lol." Amon showed his tongue as he frowned.
"...Good. Not that I'm afraid." Eliminating his fear, Robin stared intensely at Raki. While Raki flinched, Robin tied her up using her extra hand.
"Mmmm! Mmffffff!"
While Vivi laughed seeing him in this position, Robin piled him in her arms. Meanwhile, Amon comes forward and takes Robin with a daughter's sling. While Cobra looked at the scene in astonishment, Amon shot it out and disappeared from its place with a flash of light.
"YYYYYY!"
The only thing they heard was a scream.

"So this is the ship you want to be coated?"
The man with gray hair and beard asked as he took a sip from his whisky bottle.
He was a sailor named Rayleigh. I can't find a free boatman all over Saobody next to this old man.
He looks unreliable, but how else. Let's see ... I may also have to buy another ship and let it be coated to another shipbuilder–
The man interrupted me with laughter. "no need. Your ship will be ready in 2 days."
"Haahhh, all right, old man. Don't mess up, my boss will scold me if you do."
Sighing with a shake of my head, I walked away. I guess I'll enjoy some food.
"Haha, enjoy yourself. Careful."
I think I should…

[Same Time| Fish-Man Island]
On the other hand, the self-proclaimed pirate leader of New Fishman, Hordey Jones is a remote building on the outskirts of Fishman Island.
"Haaahs... Otohime's acting out of control, yeah." He grinned with his teeth that were like a shining shark. "Let's wait until you get back, this time I'll send you. Get to heaven! Ahaha!"
