Capítulo 51: Victor's Bounty:
Gran Tesoro:
Stella and Baccarat were stunned as they looked at the huge pile of shiny gold and precious jewels excavated from the ruins of Mexica with Tesoro's ability. The entire wealth of a warmongering and plundering civilization had collecting dust for all these years untouched by greedy pirates and tomb raiders.
"Amazing!! It's an entire treasury of a country at our disposal," Baccarat took off her glasses and watched with wide eyes. Stella and Nutella also had similar expressions as their eyes started to shine with $ symbols. The little kid went as far as to try to dive into the pile of gold if not for Victor was holding her like a kitten.
"Miss Baccarat, please help me look for the most valuable relics in this pile. Stella will help to sort out the precious jewels." Robin said with a smile after clapping her hands to draw everyone's attention.
"I feel like I can do this all day!!" Stella jumped into action happily like a child who found her favorite toys.
"Kuhehaha! You are really amazing Mrs. Robin, truly a beauty with brains." Tsoro gave genuine praise. He had often wondered why Victor valued her so highly, now he understands the value of knowledge. Robin had really hit a jackpot this time with everyone's help, even he was impressed by the vast amount of riches she got in one go. If he had to give a rough estimate, it would be worth a minimum of 15 Billion or more if melted into gold bars completely disregarding the historical and artistic value.
"Is that so?? I guess I earned quite a lot after such troubles." Robin smiled meaningfully as she tenderly hugged Victor's arm.
"What are you planning to do with all this money Miss Robin," Tesoro asked curiously which also drew other's attention to her. Tesoro continued with passion as he spoke like a true capitalist, "I know you pursue intellect but let me honestly tell you from my experience. Money is like a tool and weapon as it helps save the most important thing in life, time. Miss Robin, you shouldn't frown upon wealth but use it as it was meant to be."
Robin nodded thoughtfully at his words, even though she agreed with some of them it's not just about the money for her; it's about preserving history and knowledge. These relics hold stories, cultures, and lessons that shouldn't be lost. "I intend to establish a foundation dedicated to the preservation and study of historical artifacts. Victor, are you looking for investors in your business? I would also like to buy some shares in your company dear."
Victor Moriarty raised an eyebrow, surprised by Robin's unexpected proposal. His eyes met hers, and he saw the genuine interest in her gaze.
"A foundation for the preservation of history, eh?" Tesoro grinned, intrigued. "That's a noble cause, Mrs. Robin. Count me in as a supporter. As for my friend Victor, I'm sure we can work out something isn't it?" Tesoro said with a hearty laugh as he supported Robin.
Victor smirked playfully and gave a nod of approval. "Well, well, you keep surprising me dear. Looks like we'll have to make some adjustments to accommodate our new investor. I have a feeling that the boardroom meetings would be more exciting, Madam Robin."
"I'll look forward to it Mr. Moriaty, I hope I get satisfactory returns on my investments!" She said formally as she extended her hand for a handshake like a seasoned businesswoman. "While we are at it, let me take you out for dinner sometimes."
CP9 HQ:
Spandine, the chief of CP9 looked at a file with greed in his eyes. Spandine had a square jaw, with a slight beard on it. His hair was combed neatly, but with the back flowing. He was wearing a black suit with a peach-hued shirt underneath, and a striped coat over it. He led the "investigation" in Ohara and was responsible for summoning the Buster Call.
It has been thirteen years since that day and he has been riding on that accomplishment to climb higher in the World Government's ranks. But recently he has been diagnosed with an incurable disease due to which his political power within the World Government is weakening.
But this file will surely solve all his problems and also make Gorosei recognize his importance. His incurable disease might get a chance to be cured if the Gorosei gave him a second chance.
[Confidential]
[Devil Child Nico Robin is currently in BlackRock islands, West Blue]
"Lashkey, prepare to head to West Blue while I go and meet with the Gorosei" He ordered his right-hand man, the father of future CP9 agent Khalifa.

BlackRock Island, The Spiders Cafe
The night was unnaturally dark as heavy rains accompanied by strong winds blew over the city. The streets were quite empty as people rushed into the safety of their homes, a few cars and bikes were visible occasionally as they too rushed to find shelter.
Inside a well-designed cafe in the main business street with glowing neon lights, many civilians, pirates, and men dressed as mafia sat harmoniously as they engaged in conversations along with some drinks. On a huge television screen, a woman dressed like a modern-day reporter was presenting a live broadcast.
[This is an emergency broadcast!! A sudden storm with wind speed around 80Kmph has suddenly originated over BlackRock, the wether science department has issued a warning to all citizens to find shelter until the storm passes]
Suddenly, the glass door of the cafe opened as a tall hooded man calmly entered the store. His steps were slow but steady as he walked to the counter and took a seat. Others didn't pay too much attention to this man as if it was nothing new to encounter such a character. As a neutral zone, all kinds of people come to this island to do business. Bounty Hunters, Pirates, thieves, chefs, artisans, businessmen, etc some of them liked to keep their identities a secret.
"Welcome to Spiders Cafe, I see that you had a pleasant stroll In BlackRocks. What would you like to have traveler?" Zala Sabini asked from the other side of the counter, donning yellow crystal square glasses and a diamond-patterned bandanna that combines a variety of pink, turquoise, white, and purple tones. She is also wearing a purple tank top with pink embroideries drawn across it and green ornaments. She was also wearing dark brown low-riding pants, and platform sandals, and had her long, dark blue hair tied back in a ponytail.'
She looked at the newcomer with squinted eyes, something was telling her that this man had a story, even after walking in such heavy rain and storm his cloak was so dry as if he was taking a stroll on a sunny day.
"What's the best your establishment has to offer?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Of course it is me," Zala said proudly.
"I meant for drinks!" The hooded figure had to explain.
"Ohhh! Then you should try our new item on our menu, the Oreo Shake. Price: 200 $"
"For one!"
Zala nodded as she started to prepare the drink, meanwhile, the hooded man looked at the screen of the wall.
[For our next show, Straight Factxx Talks with your favorite host Byron. Today we have a very special guest in our studio, the fan-favorite head of the Police Department, our friendly neighborhood polar bear, Bepo Moriarty!!!!"
*Loud claps and cheers*
"Hello everyone!! I am Bepo Moriarty." The camera slowly moved towards Little Bepo who was only 13 years old. He greeted the viewers cutely with a little nervousness causing all the women in the cafe to shriek crazily in joy startling the hooded figure who just received his drink.

The Syndicate HQ, Rosemary Islands
On the top floor of a huge building that was the home base of the Syndicate, Maria dressed like a secretary carrying a tablet stood in a huge luxurious office. She had been informing Sofia about the current operations of the organization.
"Miss Sofia!! The Underworld Emperor Umit has been very impressed with our ships and has ordered a bulk order of 20 cargo ships." She informed Sofia before closing the device.
"Hmmm!" She answered absentmindedly as she looked at an old bounty poster. On the poster was a white-haired man with a devilish handsome face. He looked quite intimidating but this was the only picture anyone had of him available publically.
[WANTED

"I also received an invitation from the BlackRock. Law said Victor wants to see you and it's urgent." Maria said as she pushed her glasses on her nose.
"Victor!" Sofia who was absentminded a moment ago immediately regained the shine in her eyes. "Why are you telling me this now?"
"You didn't ask," Maria said playfully. "I have already prepared the airship for your journey Miss Sanchez."
"Maria, 20 pushups right now for insubordination!" She ordered with a pout. 'How dare she mess with me?
