" Nico Robin, I want to invite you to be in my crew as an archaeologist."
Narmi said to Robin causing her hear shook. Never in her runaway life had someone invite her. Usually people want to take advantage of her by giving info to the Marines. This young man in front of her invite her to be in his crew.
Nevertheless, Robin still maintain her vigilance and asked him. " What is your purpose of inviting me? I don't believe you didn't have any ulterior motive."
Hearing her, Narmi couldn't help but scratched the back of his head in embarassment. He understand that living on the run, hiding from the world had make her lost some trust in people. So, he replied to her about what he knew of her circumstances.
" I don't have any for real. I knew that you are not the murderer of O'Hara. The O'Hara has been annihilated by Marines itself, when the Buster Call is initiated. Also, I knew O'Hara been annihilated due to their research on the Void Century"
Narmi's statement once again make Robin's face full of shock. How did this man knew about the O'Hara's Research on Void Century? Did he knew something about Void Century too?
" How did you know? Only the World Government and Marines knew that we O'Hara research on the Void Century."
" Well, you can say I have some prior knowledge about it. But, most importantly right now, is whether you want to join my crew? If you want, I promise with my life that I will protect you and also I will bring you to some places that have Road Poneglyph. Aren't you curious about Void Century?"
His offer made Robin's heart fluttered as this man promise to protect her. Besides, it looks like this man knew about Road Poneglyph too. My dream is still to discover about the Void Century, the continuation of the O'Haran people dreams.
With a resolute expression, she replied " Alright, I will join your crew."
Narmi leaped up from his seat in joy as Robin accepted his offer but quickly regain his composure and made a fake cough. " Ahem , then Welcome to Grand King Pirates. "
Seeing he acted like that, Robin chuckled a bit and replied to him with a smile. " Thank you, captain. I'm counting on you."
Out of the blue, a shout can be heard from outside the restaurant.
" NICO ROBIN, BOUNTY OF 79 MILLIONS BERRY. COME OUT AND SURRENDER YOURSELF. WE HAVE THIS BLOCK SURROUNDED. YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY THIS TIME."

" NICO ROBIN, BOUNTY OF 79 MILLIONS BERRY. COME OUT AND SURRENDER YOURSELF. WE HAVE THIS BLOCK SURROUNDED. YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY THIS TIME."
Robin's faced pale when she heard the shout. Due to this, she thought that she had made some inconvenience to Narmi, since she just join his crew.
She turned to look at Narmi and stunned, when she saw the aura of dominance seem to be getting stronger when he heard the shout.
[ Quest: Protect Robin from the Marines! Reward: EXP +10000, Bonus Point +200, Trade Point +200000, Devil Fruit of Host's Choice]
'Hehe. This System is really generous. I love you System. Now let me show them how strong I am with you help.'
" It's time to prove myself. Watch how I fulfill my promise to you." Narmi said while he woke up from the seat.
Robin tried to stop him but before she could, Narmi had put his hand on her head and said. " Sit tight, I will be right back. No one will ever dare to disturb you again. As you are my precious crewmates."
Robin couldn't help but blushed when she heard that word. She then turned and saw Narmi had walked until the door and opened it. In her sight, that thin-build of him looks incredibly large this time, making her feel secure for the first time.
——————————————————
The Marine's Captain waited until the door of the restaurant open. Instead of a young lady, a young man that came out from the restaurant.
"Oya oya, Marines' Captain. Who are you and to what do I owe the pleasure?" Narmi asked although he knew who is the man in front of him.
" I am Captain Smoker. My purpose is to catch the notorious Devil's Child Nico Robin. I knew she is inside."
" Ohh, I'm sorry captain but unfortunately, I can't allow that. You see she is my crew. Anyone dare to touch her will die. "
" You dare to threathen the Marines?! I guess I can capture you also in the time being. A pirates is a scum of the society. Charge, Marines."
" Huh.. I guess you guys really need to get a beating. Let me show you how big of gap between you guys and me."
Keep reading my novel guys. Thank you for your supports.
All the Marines charged towards Narmi under Smoker's command. Narmi, the target himself, stood there and release his Conqueror's Haki.
When the effect of Conqueror's Haki reached towards them, all the Marines stop in their track. Their eyes are all white. Suddenly, one by one, the Marines collapsed before they even reached Narmi.
Smoker who saw this were very shocked, as he didn't expected the young man in front of him will have 'that'. 'That' which proves a quality of a Conqueror. He gritted his teeth and said " You...! You have Conqueror's Haki?!!"
Narmi just grinned hearing the questions. He didn't want to answer him as it was obvious.
" Now, the obstacles are out of the way. Why don't you come and attack me? Let's play." Narmi said while smiling.
Smoker was fuming in rage when he said the Marines are obstacles. Narmi's smiling face really manage to ignite his fury. He then took a battle stance and shouted.
"White Blow"
A cloud of dense smoke shot to Narmi, intending to blast him away. 'After this, I will use White Out to trap him. No one's ever escape from my White Out.'
Watching the attack that gradually neared him, Narmi just shook his head lightly and smirked. ' His attack was pathetic. Let's just play along for a while to alleviate the boredom. Then, I will crush the hope when I escape his White Out'
Narmi intentionally let the White Blow hit him and retreat a few step back. His acting can be considered top class as Smoker didn't realise that he is just being played with by Narmi.
As his attack had manage to hit Narmi, Smoker quickly use White Out to catch him. Confirming Narmi had indeed been catch by his White Out, Smoker smugly said to him.
" Bullshit Conqueror's Haki. You are weak. It only take me two moves to render you immobile. Now, are you still looking down on us Marines huh, pirate scum?"
Out of a sudden, Robin went out from the restaurant and saw her captain had been caught.
"CAPTAIN!!"
Smoker thought this is the opportunity to catch Nico Robin and said " Nico Robin, your captain has been caught by me. Surrender yourself and I will let him go."
Smoker's offer really tempted her because if she willingly surrender herself, Narmi will be let off scot-free. As she had the feeling that he would become a prominent figure in the future, she couldn't help but think this is a good offer.
Her life is being exchanged for a future emperor. It is not a worthless trade. After thinking deliberately for a while, she had made her decision to surrender herself. Before she state her decision, she turned her head to Narmi as to show her resolution to him. But what she saw stunned herself instead, as Narmi just smiling at her and just shook his head.
His mouth make a signal as if saying " Leave this to me. Don't worry"
As Smoker is concentrating with Robin, he heard a laugh from Narmi's direction. He turned his head and saw Narmi is laughing his heart out. He couldn't help but had a bad premonition to this.
He quickly make his White Out as dense as possible so to ensure he couldn't escape. Apparently, his effort are in vain as Narmi easily slip away from him.
Narmi just watched him and clicked his tongue.
" Tsk Tsk Tsk.. Aii.. If not for Robin is worrying about me, I would have played with you for a longer time , Captain Smoker. You see? What can I do, I don't want her to worry about her captain."
" Black Hole "
Out of the blue, a black smoke started to spread with Narmi as it's centre. The black smoke spreading quickly like fire but then stop when it had covered all the Marines.
" Robin, just obediently sit tight in the restaurant. Oh if possible, could you ask Henry to cook some food for me. All this fighting makes me hungry. Thanks."
Robin when she saw his power felt relieved as he is safe. Apparently, he is just playing around but she just butt in when he started to enjoy it. When he said to her to obediently sit tight in the restaurant, she went back inside.
But then, he asked for a food, this makes her had a headache as he can still think about food when in battle. He really is one weird captain.
After he had confirmed Robin had went inside, he turned his attention back to the Marines in front of him. He sent Robin back inside as he didn't want to accidentally hurt her. Also he didn't want to show what he want to do with Smoker to her.
On Narmi's face, an evil grin surface.
" Shall we start with round two, Smoker? I will show you a what a real horror means."
Hey guys. Should I make Smoker quit Marines and join his crew. For me It's like a good idea but at the same time I want to hear your opinion. Please do comment below. Also, I'm thinking about what devil fruit to give the MC. Care to give me some idea? Just comment and I will read it.
By the way, I'm trying my best to keep the novel updated for 2 chapters/day. Enjoy the reading and thank you everyone.
