The Pirate Garen - #496 - Chapter 490: A Gift for Robin
While Galen led the alliance fighters to liberate Mary Joa and capture the nobles of the world alive, Robin also followed Galen to this place.
She is considered a non-combatant, and rushing to Maryjoa was not to avenge the Tianlong people, but to obtain the historical knowledge heritage passed down by the Tianlong people for 800 years, and to find the puzzle of the historical truth in the depths of Maryjoa.
As soon as Robin entered Mariejoia, he went straight to Pongle Castle, the power center of the world government, and went alone into the underground secret room that even ordinary Tianlong people could not set foot in.
After a long time, Robin finally walked out of Pongle Castle.
At this time, the sky was dark, night fell, and the gunpowder smoke in the city had dispersed.
Although the nobles in the city have been wiped out, the prosperity of the city has never been due to the birth of a handful of nobles, but is maintained entirely by the grassroots who can only kneel on both sides of the street to greet them.
With no nobles left, Marie Gioia’s night became brighter and brighter.
Looking around from Pongle Castle, Robin could see Mary Joan’s nighttime city of lights as bright as a sea of stars.
And at this time, Galen appeared.
He seemed to have been waiting at the gate of the castle, and when he saw Robin appearing, he couldn’t wait to come up and say hello:
“Robin, you’re finally out.”
“kindness?”
Robin looked at Galen with slightly surprised eyes, and asked curiously:
“Are you waiting for me here?”
“Why, are you suddenly interested in historical truth?”
Although Galen supported Robin’s historical research results and collected historical texts for Robin that were too much to use as ballast stones, he himself never asked about Robin’s research results.
Not only that, but he also helped Robin invent many “research results” in turn.
“Hahaha”
Galen laughed at himself and said:
“Of course I didn’t come here to ask you to learn history.”
“I’m here just to give you a gift.”
“I found it when Marie Gioia was cleaning the battlefield after I captured the Tianlongren. I think you will be interested, so I sent it here for you.”
“Give me a gift?”
There was a hint of panic in Robin’s eyes.
The “notorious” Galen wanted to give a girl a gift, obviously out of kindness.
Although she had been mentally prepared, when Galen’s “claws” reached out to her, this mature, indifferent, elegant, and knowledgeable woman was inevitably at a loss.
Unlike archeology, she doesn’t have much experience in love at all.
However, for some reason, Robin couldn’t help but feel an expectation:
“What gift do you want to give me?”
“It’s right there.”
Galen smiled and pointed in one direction.
“kindness?”
Robin looked along Galen’s fingers in some puzzlement, and saw the bustling city of lights in Marie Gioia again, as well as the equally bright sky full of stars.
Then, the next instant:
In an instant, fireworks exploded in the sky above Marie Gioia.
Gold, silver, purple.
The colorful fireworks bloom in the ink-like night, just like the blooming epiphyllum, blooming a kind of fleeting beauty.
“you”
Robin looked a little crazy.
She had been wandering since she was a child, and she hadn’t lived a single day of peace until she met Galen.
It’s not that Robin has never seen fireworks, but she has never been able to hide alone in the dark corners of the city, quietly catching a glimmer of light in the sky filled with fireworks.
But now, there was someone who lit up the entire sky for her.
“fireworks.”
Robin pursed his lips subconsciously, and said stiffly:
“Galen, the way you lie to girls is really old-fashioned.”
Having said that, a seductive blush has already appeared on her cheeks.
“ah?”
Galen was slightly taken aback:
“Fireworks? Er.”
The fireworks were not a gift he had prepared for Robin at all, but a large-scale fireworks display celebrating the victory of the People’s Liberation and Just War of Mary Gioia.
“Cough cough.”
After a moment of hesitation, Galen also reacted immediately.
Without changing his face, he responded to the affection quietly rising in Robin’s eyes, and said solemnly:
“A firework is just a small gift from me.”
“Besides this, I have prepared something more important for you.”
With that said, Galen stretched out his finger again to show Robin the way.
He pointed a little lower this time, and pointed directly at a stretcher randomly placed on the ground in the distance, and there was still a half-dead person lying on the stretcher.
Beside that guy, there were several alliance soldiers standing guard closely.
“What?”
Robin’s face suddenly became strange:
“Is this a gift from you?”
Then, she couldn’t help but look more carefully:
The guy lying on the stretcher fell into a deep sleep, his face had been beaten beyond recognition, and it was swollen like a pig’s head.
“Who is this?”
Robin couldn’t help asking.
She could never have imagined that Galen would give her such a curious gift.
“Spandyne.”
Galen uttered a name that was unforgettable to Robin:
“I found him when we were cleaning up the relics of one of our sacrificed comrades.”
“He was tied up like a pig and stuffed into a box, and almost suffocated to death.”
“What?”
Robin’s expression froze, and his gaze at the unconscious man suddenly became complicated.
Im and the five old stars are the chief culprits of O’Hara’s demise, and Spandain is the executioner who directly killed her family and friends.
She has never forgotten this name.
“Spandyne.”
Robin’s dark memories buried in her heart resurfaced again, causing her body to tremble slightly.
However, Robin quickly returned to normal and let out a long sigh of relief:
“Thanks.”
“Galen, I like this gift very much.”
“I accept this gift, but this guy should still be put on trial according to the league’s rules, and let him pay for his crimes.”
“oh?”
“Aren’t you going to take revenge yourself?”
Galen asked a little puzzled.
“It’s not necessary.”
Robin shook his head and said in a relieved tone:
“Now I don’t need to live in darkness and hatred anymore.”
“and”
She glanced at Spandyne, who had obviously been beaten terribly and was still unconscious until now, and there was an unspeakable smile on her lips:
“My revenge, you also helped me avenge it.”
“Forehead”
Galen hesitated.
In fact, Spandain was not played by him.
When he found Spandyne, Spandyne had already been beaten into a pig-headed vegetative state.
According to Galen’s speculation, this should all be the masterpiece of that Comrade Spandam.
In order to break with the reactionary and decadent feudal aristocratic family, and to devote himself wholeheartedly to the wave of revolution and uprising, he has indeed done an admirable “great cause”.
However, these are not important.
After thinking for a while, Galen simply confessed the crime of torturing prisoners of war in front of Robin:
“I am very sure of that!”
“This scumbag made you suffer so badly back then, of course I have to teach him a good lesson.”
“.”
Looking at Galen who was proudly showing off his “Wuwei” in front of him, Robin couldn’t help but feel a move in his heart.
The gift from Galen was indeed useful.
At least, she felt as if she had been tricked.
Robin didn’t speak any more, just stared blankly at Galen, his eyes becoming more and more complicated in the silence.
Galen also stopped talking knowingly, but looked at him quietly.
The atmosphere became more and more ambiguous.
Just when Robin, an older young woman, was about to open her heart completely, and when Galen was about to succeed, Robin finally reacted.
“Cough cough.”
She blushed a little out of composure, and looked away from Galen with guilt.
Then, Robin changed the subject incoherently:
“Galen, you.”
“Are you really not interested in historical truth?”
As he talked, Robin, who was far more mature than Nami and other young girls, and not as easy to deceive as Hancock of the same age, immediately regained his normal state of mind by virtue of his love for archeology:
“I have deciphered the historical text that you helped me retrieve, and had a detailed discussion with Shanks, and now I have fully grasped the historical truth passed down by the Tianlong people.”
“I have found the last piece of the puzzle that has been blank for a hundred years.”
“Even if you want to know the one piece that tens of millions of people pursue, I can tell you directly now.”
“one piece?”
Galen was slightly taken aback.
He knew Robin was changing the subject.
But as a princess killer who is determined to achieve the ending of “I want it all”, he is now an old expert who is proficient in this way after years of experience.
Galen knew it was not a good time to press too hard, so he simply followed Robin’s words and said solemnly:
“You don’t need to tell me, I actually know what a onepiece is.”
“kindness?”
Robin’s face froze, she smelled the familiar breath of a historical inventor.
Galen lowered his face and said in the tone of the news anchor of the recently established Alliance TV station:
“The so-called OnePiece, as the name suggests, means ‘one piece’.”
“It’s a guiding ideology that aims to unite people all over the world and connect seas of separation.”
“To this end, the alliance will completely eliminate all reactionary forces such as pirates, warlords, and fallen nobles in the great waterway, so that the great waterway will be full of vitality and build a great waterway global economic belt.”
“At the same time, in order to connect the four seas and the great shipping lanes, the alliance will also build eight vertical and eight horizontal sea railways around the world.”
“This is the core value of onepiece, which refers to the ‘One Belt, One Road’ plan to build a community with a shared future for mankind.”
These are actually the future construction plans of the alliance.
Because of Galen’s strong request, this fantasy of connecting the sea with a developed transportation network has been included in the alliance’s nation-building strategy from the very beginning.
Before the battle at the Navy Headquarters started, scientists from the Ministry of Communications had already surveyed the terrain near the Red Earth Continent, making preparations for the construction of the future cross-sea tunnel for vehicles and ships.
“.”
Hearing this onepiece interpretation full of positive energy, Robin could no longer speak.
Galen loosened his tight face and said to Robin with a smile:
“I’m talking about the ‘onepiece’ of the new age.”
“As for the real onepiece, let’s talk about it!”
“never mind.”
Robin shook his head after a short silence, with a relieved smile on his face:
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“The one piece you mentioned is perfect enough.”
“Ha ha.”
Galen smiled, but his tone became somewhat meaningful:
“Don’t look at me inventing history like this all the time, but I’m actually quite interested in the truth of history.”
“However, in order not to affect the effect of propaganda, it is inconvenient to tell the historical truth in public.”
“Robin, how about”
“We will slowly learn history at home in the future?”
Hearing this, Robin couldn’t help giving Galen a blank look.
Then, in a mysterious way, she replied:
“good.”
