"Want to go to sea with me?"
Rob looked at Robin.
With a serious expression, Rob sought her opinion.
Ohara is where Robin grew up. She is in the process of learning and making friends with other scholars. Although Rob has a strong desire to take Robin away, he can't just ignore her thoughts and take her forcibly.
Of course, even if Robin doesn't leave, Rob will.
After Ohara is destroyed, he will find Robin again and let her grow up under his protection.
Right now, he can't afford to mess with the huge World Government! Acting recklessly would be foolish, and Rob is not a fool.
He has the guts and courage to face any enemy, but that doesn't mean he can match any enemy at this moment.
Rob isn't weak, but he isn't that powerful yet!
There was a long silence.
Robin looked up at Rob and asked, "Is it possible? If I go out to sea with Oni-chan, won't I become a burden? I... am very weak! And can I really see my mother? The sea is so big, is it really that easy to find her?"
Rob nodded, his eyes serious.
"It's definitely possible! The sea is big, but it's also very small! We will find your mother somewhere out there! And, Oni-chan never thinks Robin is weak!"
"How could a brother dislike his cute sister?"
As he spoke, Rob reached out and rubbed Robin's little head.
"Want to go to sea with me?"
Robin's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Rob and nodded vigorously.
"Okay! I'll go to sea with Oni-chan!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Rob finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing Robin agree.
He had told a lie. Robin's mother might be in the midst of the World Government's agents and Marine's pursuit. Whether they will find her is unknown, but to take Robin away, he had to tell this lie.
Most likely, he will miss the appointment. But since he promised Robin to take her to meet her mother, Robin would naturally try to work hard and be happy if they found her. If not, she could eventually forget about it.
Robin chose to leave Ohara with Rob.
Rob's long-awaited plan to go to sea officially began.
Three days later, while preparing the ship and nautical supplies, Rob spent almost all of the 7 million berries saved over the past year. He and Robin then went to Dr. Clover's home, the director of the Ohara Library and Robin's teacher.
They stood in front of Dr. Clover with his distinctive hairstyle and beard.
Robin looked respectful.
"Mr. Clover, thank you for the past two years."
At the same time, Rob bowed and saluted.
"Dr. Clover, Robin appreciates your guidance."
Dr. Clover looked at the two children, both only eight years old. Robin, as his best archeology student and the daughter of Nico Olvia, naturally held a special place in his heart. As for Rob, Dr. Clover had also been in contact with him over the past two years. Although Rob had the image of a child, he never acted like one.
Rob was mature, quite planned, and autonomous. And Rob was strong. Dr. Clover knew about Rob's previous battle with the giant bear, the king of the forest, and how he hunted Sea Kings and sea beasts to sell their meat in town. This was enough to show Rob's power.
Now, Rob was ready to go to sea, and Robin seemed to be leaving with him. Even though Dr. Clover didn't approve of the two going to sea at such a young age, he knew that with Rob's character, it was impossible to persuade him otherwise. And in Robin's heart, Rob already had an irreplaceable position. So, after thinking about it, Dr. Clover knew he could only wish the two children smooth sailing.
"The sea is indeed vast, full of dreams and wonders!" Dr. Clover said seriously. "But the sea is also moody and dangerous! If you two want to go out to sea, you must be careful and pay attention to safety!"
While speaking, Dr. Clover took out a special white paper from his pocket that was shaking and solemnly handed it to Robin.
"Robin, take this piece of paper. It will guide you and your mother to meet somewhere in the sea."
Rob's eyes flashed, understanding what this piece of paper was. It was likely the Vivre card left by Robin's mother, Olvia. In the Tree of Knowledge library, there were various books from all over the world that recorded the production method of the Vivre card. For scholars, mastering this should be normal.
Robin accepted the Vivre card, thanking Dr. Clover.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Dr. Clover reached out and rubbed Robin's head, smiling.
"When you see your mother, say hi to her for me!"
He then turned to Rob. After hesitating for a while, Dr. Clover took out a small notebook and handed it to Rob.

It never occurred to Rob that he would receive a gift.
After taking the old notebook, Rob looked at Dr. Clover suspiciously.
"What is this?"
Stroking his beard, Dr. Clover showed emotion on his face.
"When I was young, I also went to sea to explore various ancient ruins and had some adventures! This is something I got from an archaeological dig in a sunken ship. It's not a history book, just a practice handbook left by a strong man. We scholars aren't interested in these things, but since it's a handed-down handbook, we kept it."
Dr. Clover looked at Rob seriously.
"I know you've been practicing and seem to be very powerful! So, this practice handbook, which is useless to us, is given to you! Consider it the old man's way of passing it down. Boy, I won't stop you from going to sea with Robin, but you must promise me that you'll protect her!"
Looking at the practice handbook in his hand, Rob felt it was something he needed, so he accepted it directly. Then he looked at Dr. Clover seriously.
"I'll accept the gift! Thank you, doctor! But regarding the protection of Robin, it's not because you gave me this handbook that I'll protect her. I will protect her because I want to!"
Rob was clear that protecting Robin wasn't about benefits; it was because he genuinely wanted to.
After saying this, Rob took Robin, bowed to Dr. Clover, and then left.
Dr. Clover watched the two little figures leave, a bit dazed and unsure how to respond. The reason he gave Rob the practice handbook, which is precious to some, was to make Rob stronger and better able to protect Robin.
...
A small sailboat, 15 meters long and 12 meters high, equipped with a cannon, sailed forward on the calm sea of West Blue. On deck, Robin looked at the Vivre card fluttering forward in her hand, joy evident on her face.
"So there really is such a magical paper as Vivre card! With this, can we find our mother in the sea, Oni-chan?"
Hearing Robin's expectant question, Rob nodded with a smile.
"Hmm! With the guidance of the Vivre card, we will definitely find Aunt Olvia on the sea!"
After getting an affirmative answer, Robin looked at the life card with anticipation, running around the small sailboat excitedly. Rob, controlling the rudder, had a doting smile on his face.
Even his care couldn't replace Robin's longing for maternal love. As the day of meeting her mother approached, Robin's heart was naturally filled with happiness.
And having the Vivre card to meet Olvia on the sea was an inevitable event. This way, he didn't have to feel guilty about possibly missing the appointment with Robin, which was a good thing!
Speaking of which, Nico Olvia is also a mature beauty! A grown-up silver-haired Robin...
Silver hair.
At this point, it aligns with some of Rob's unique tastes. If possible, he would persuade Olvia to join his crew. It wasn't any dirty idea, but simply because of Robin. He wanted to save her mother!
The premise is that it wouldn't cause him too much trouble.
Suppressing his thoughts about Olvia, Rob looked at the endless sea ahead with anticipation. Finally, he was out to sea. While his time in Ohara was fulfilling—getting stronger, practicing, and strengthening his relationship with Robin—he couldn't deny that he often felt like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net.
"Get out of Ohara!"
Looking at the vast sea, Rob felt elated. He felt like his heart had expanded:
"I'm like a bird in the blue sky, and a fish in the sea! I'm not bound anymore! Hahaha..."
While speaking, a familiar voice echoed in Rob's mind:
[You went to sea! You have unlocked your third talent - learn and know!]
"Hm?"
Hearing the voice in his head, the smile on Rob's face grew wider:
"The system with a very weak sense of existence is finally bubbling up again! The third talent - learn and know? It should be a talent that enhances learning ability, but I wonder if it affects any learning!" (T/N: How I wish I had that talent)
After pondering the system for a moment, Rob took out the inheritance given to him by Dr. Clover from his pocket, flipped through it a few times, and, unable to understand the words, put it away again. Robin had mentioned that this inheritance handbook came from a swordsman in the Grand Line, from a small country destroyed by natural disasters. It contained some information about the Grand Line and his extinct homeland.
Half of it was a copy of the swordsman's swordsmanship inheritance. After repeated confirmation, the general swordsmanship inheritance contained information about cutting steel and flying slashes, but there was no record of the sound of all things breathing. With this, Rob could confirm that this inheritance of sword skills, left by an ordinary swordsman, wasn't exceptionally powerful.
Touching his chin, Rob murmured:
"I should learn the characters of this world with Robin. It's better to learn the knowledge of ancient characters. I'm very interested in the Poneglyphs. It won't be a problem to learn about them!"
Robin, running around the boat, came to Rob's side. After hearing his words, she looked expectant:
"Will Oni-chan study with me? I'll teach Oni-chan seriously!"
Hearing this, Rob smiled and touched Robin's little head:
"Then please."
Enjoying Rob's caress, Robin smiled and narrowed her eyes. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that as long as Rob wanted to learn, she would teach him everything she knew, and what she didn't know, she would find out.
After all, this was the first time Oni-chan asked her for help!
