#9

[ West Blue - Year 1502 ]

It was a peaceful early morning (about 6 A.M.) as Jeremiah sat on the deck of The Big Dipper while drinking a hot cup of tea as he read a book. Today would be a pretty busy day for the crew , so he wanted to enjoy this bit of peace while it lasted .

At the moment , Jeremiah was just wearing a black t-shirt and black boxers along with a pair of sandals and his necklaces . His long twisted hair was currently let down . When he got out the shower he didn't feel like getting fully dressed yet , so he decided to just wear this .

It had been two years since Roger became the "Pirate King" and people seemed to have finally settled down from the shock of it , mostly at least . And as Jeremiah expected , there were a lot of people that didn't believe the things that the government told them in their attempt to make Roger look evil , thanks in no small part to the relationship their crews have .

As for Jeremiah and the rest of New Dawn , they continued to grow stronger and crazy things , while making sure to have fun doing it . Though recently , Jeremiah had been wondering about something .

The moon .

He remembered that there used to be civilization on this world's moon and that there were still some automatas up there . If he wasn't mistaken the city was called Birka . He remembered that after the fight with Luffy , Enel had escaped on his ark and left to the moon and was able to reactivate all of the technology that was left there . There was also the fact that the people living on the sky islands originally came from the moon .

Naturally , this had Jeremiah curious . Should he go to the moon? To his knowledge , it was ridiculously easy to get to this world's moon to the point that it was almost laughable . The automatas were able to get there with balloons of all things .

He really wanted to go . He was a firm believer in the saying "knowledge is power" and he wanted all the knowledge this world had to offer . He would wait though . The reason he decided to wait was that he had a strong belief that the moon was related to the void century in some way , so he wanted to wait until he met Robin so they could eventually go together .

He didn't want to simply discover the true history himself , and then just tell it all to Robin . It would be better for her to be able to actually experience it herself . Despite that though , he did make sure to copy the few poneglyphs that he had come across , including the Road Poneglyph on Zou . It was too good of an opportunity to pass up . They really were hard to find .

Hearing footsteps behind him , Jeremiah sniffed the air before he said "Good morning Diane . Nice of you to join me ."

"Good morning Captain . How'd you sleep ?" Diane asked with a smile as she walked up and stood next to the chair he was sitting in . She blushed a bit when she saw his clothes or lack thereof . Even while he was relaxing she could see his tight muscles coiled beneath the skin of his arms and legs , ready for anything .

Jeremiah was about to reply before he turned away from his book to look at her and his mouth began to water when he saw what she was wearing .

All Diane had on was a light blue nightgown that was just barely see through , allowing him to faintly see that she wasn't wearing anything under it . He was really tempted to use his powers to make it so that he could see all the way through , but he didn't want to invade her privacy (even though he had a feeling she wouldn't mind) .

Although he did use his tech powers to quickly take a few photos with his eyes , which was done in the span of a single second . Once he was done he replied "It was nice I guess . Shiro clung to me like usual , which I don't mind ."

"...I see ." Diane said with a strained smile .

Jeremiah sipped his tea as he leaned back and looked at her with a raised eyebrow . "Something wrong Diane ?" He asked .

Diane was quiet for a bit as she looked away before she replied "It's nothing..."

Jeremiah hummed and stared at her before he said "Look at me Diane ."

Once she did as he said , he continued "You don't have to hold yourself back Diane . If you have something you want to say then feel free to say it , whatever it may be . I won't mind ."

Jeremiah watched as she fidgeted under his stare for a little while before she took a breath and finally replied "Why does Shiro always get to sleep with you ? Even now ? She's already 21 ."

'Ahh... Now I see . I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up before now .' Jeremiah thought to himself .

"Come here Diane ." He said and before she could say or do anything , Jeremiah grabbed her and gently pulled her into his lap .

'Fuuuuuu-' Were Jeremiah's thoughts when he felt her on his lap . He hadn't even thought about it when he grabbed her , but with the very thin layers of clothes they were wearing it was easy for them both to feel each other's.... Private areas . She was so incredibly soft and warm .

Diane herself was blushing heavily since she could feel the beast laying between Jeremiah's legs and if she wasn't mistaken it was slowly hardening . She couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in herself .

Deciding to just move on , Jeremiah said "Diane , if you want to sleep in my room all you have to do is ask . I don't mind at all . My bed is more than big enough . In fact , "

He was trying to keep his erection from rising as Diane fidgeted in his lap , but he was honestly close to snapping . Everyday he was being tempted by her , Ryoko , and Shiro and a man can only hold himself back for so long .

"Still though , being upset with Shiro for something like that... Maybe I should punish you ." He said with some of his haki leaking out as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back to his chest/stomach , while he used his free hand to rub the top of her head .

Diane shivered and blushed even more when she felt his breath on the back of her neck . She could already feel herself getting wet . It was amazing to her how easily he could make her feel like this .

As Jeremiah felt her wetness and smelled her lust , he had an internal debate with himself .

'Surely it wouldn't be too bad if I just played with her a little bit right ? Right ?' He thought to himself as Diane's scent continued to invade his nose , making his own lust begin to bubble up and even more of his haki start to leak out . He was keeping it to a low enough level so that it wouldn't wake the rest of the crew , as well as to make sure she didn't lose herself too much , but even this small amount leaking out was very potent .

Jeremiah removed the hand that was rubbing Diane's head and slowly brought it down and under her nightgown to her breasts and groped one of them .

"Mmm~!" She moaned lowly with a red face .

And just like that he had a full on erection .

He couldn't believe just how soft her huge breasts were . He had been wanting to touch them for so long , and now that he was finally doing it he almost wanted to slap himself for waiting this long to indulge himself .

"C- Captain~..." Diane moaned out .

She was surprised when he suddenly started groping her , but she definitely wasn't going to fight it . She'd been wanting this and more for so long . She could feel his barely covered boner pressing up against her nether region and it made her very turned on , especially with how big she could feel it was . She couldn't help but rub herself on it .

Jeremiah let out a deep groan as he felt Diane move herself on him . It felt better than he could've imagined , and they weren't even having sex . It was a different feel compared to Shiro's smaller body (not that he didn't enjoy her's as well , because he definitely did) . Diane was just so juicy in all the right places .

Deciding to give Diane more pleasure (which was already heightened thanks to his haki) , he started licking and sucking on her neck while he brought his hand that was wrapped around her waist down to her lower lips and gingerly traced a finger around her soaking wet entrance .

"AH~!"

"Look at you . This wet when I've barely even done anything yet . You're such a perverted woman Diane ." He whispered in her ear before he licked it and felt her shiver .

"T- That's not true~ I'm n- not a pervert~." She said in between breaths , even as she continued moaning lewdly and rubbing her self on his erection .

"Really ? So you're not a perverted woman that gets wet from her captain touching her body however he pleases?" He asked as he now began slowly dragging his finger up and down her slit. He himself was also really turned on by this point .

"Pl- Please Captain~!" She moaned with her eyes closed as she leaned further into him and brought her arms up and behind her to wrap around his neck . She made for an incredibly lewd sight .

"Tell the truth and I'll let you feel good ." He commanded as he used two fingers to repeatedly spread her pussy lips , while using a third finger to drag it up and down her slit , slowly of course . He wouldn't let her cum yet .

Diane felt like her dear captain was trying to torture her . It seemed like he wanted to dominate her . To show her that he was the one in charge and always would be , even in situations like this . As if he wanted to show her that she was his and that he would do to her as he pleased , however he chose to ...

...And she loved every second of it . She always saw her captain's dominant side in battle and it always got her hot under the collar , but having it focused on her and her alone while he was teasing her like this... It was the best .

If all she had to do to receive more pleasure from her dear captain was admit to being a pervert , then the choice was obvious for her .

"O- Okay . I'm a pervert~! I'm sorry I'm such a lewd pervert that gets turned on from her captain doing whatever he wants to her ~." She exclaimed with a moan as she leaned her head back and began rotating her hips in a lewd way that was very pleasurable for Jeremiah .

"See , was that so hard ? Now I'll reward you for being a good girl." He said before he plunged his middle finger inside her-

"AHHH~!"

- And she let out a loud and very lewd sounding moan as she felt herself already close to having an orgasm . She couldn't understand why her body was so sensitive right now , not that she was complaining .

"I bet a pervert like you is always trying to get pleasure huh? You probably masturbate all the time . Tell me and I'll think about letting you cum ." He whispered as he pumped his finger in and out of her a little faster while he twirled one of her erect nipples with his other hand .

"I dooo~. I- ah~! I masturbate e- everyday~." She mewled as she tried to buck her hips to increase the pleasure even more , while also feeling Jeremiah's boxer covered cock sliding up and down between her ass cheeks . She really wished he would take them off so that they could feel each other directly .

"Hmm everyday ? And what do you think about while you do it ?"

"Y- ah! You! Always you! I th- think about you everyday while I t- touch myself!" She nearly yelled and Jeremiah decided to add to her reward since she was so honest .

He added a second finger .

"Captain~!" She moaned out and Jeremiah was amazed at how wet she was . She was literally dripping so much that a small puddle was starting to form . And the smell . The smell was actually so good that it was making him feel a little intoxicated .

"You're so damn sexy Diane . You are MINE . You will never let anyone else touch you like this ." Jeremiah said with his eyes glowing gold and the conqueror in him rising to the surface .

"I'm yours~ I'm all yours~ You're the only one I'll ever let touch me! I love you so much Captain~" Diane said witha dazed look while moaning and panting heavily as she felt her orgasm approaching .

"Honesty is always rewarded . Now... Cum !" He said before he began roughly groping one of her breasts while he used his tech powers and made his fingers vibrate while he plunged them in and out of her so fast that his arm was almost a blur . Then on top of that , he gathered all of his haki that was leaking out and focused it directly on her , icreasing her pleasure at least threefold .

The result was as you would expect .

"CAPTAIN~!" Diane squirted out a copious amount of her sweet nectar as she became a quivering and drooling mess . Jeremiah was incredibly turned on as he watched and felt her repeatedly squirt more and more , even as he kept fingering her .

"Look Diane . Look how much your perverted pussy is squirting ." Jeremiah said as he moved his fingers even faster . While he was pulling on one of her nipples , he started feeling some liquid on his hand and raised an eyebrow before he raised his hand to see what it was .

What he saw only served to make him even more horny .

It was milk .

Diane had already had a nice body when he met her , but she really began developing once Jeremiah injected her with nanobots . Still though , he hadn't thought it would make her body THIS lewd , although he certainly wasn't complaining .

"Diane... This body of yours is so sinful . I'll be sure to indulge in all of it!" Jeremiah said as he pulled her nightgown up over her breasts and began roughly pulling her nipple , making more and more milk leak out while he channeled electricity through his fingers , making Diane shriek as more cum came gushing out of her.

"Captain , Captain , Captain , Captain~!" Was all Diane could say as she was in a complete lust filled haze from all the pleasure . The only way she could describe what she was feeling right now would be absolute bliss .

"Drink ." She heard her dear Captain say right before she had her left tit stuffed into her mouth , making her drink her own milk .

As for Jeremiah , by now he was so hard that it was actually becoming a little painful . He knew he also needed some release, but he doubted cumming one time would be enough . This was the horniest he had ever been , and the same seemed to be true for Diane . As troublesome as his haki could be at times , he couldn't help the pride he felt in the fact that he was probably the only person in the world that could make her feel like this .

Deciding to finish her off , Jeremiah brought both of his hands down to Diane's pussy and hooked his fingers , all of which were vibrating , inside before he pulled her pussy wide open and said "Cum for your Captain , Diane ."

"MMMMM~!" Diane moaned which was muffled thanks to the tit in her mouth . She threw her head back and Jeremiah watched as her eyes nearly rolled to the back of her head . She was shivering like crazy as she squirted out her largest orgasm of the whole "session" .

Diane was totally lost in lust as she sucked on her own nipple , while while riding out her relentless orgasms that her Captain allowed her to have . She was so happy . Her dear Captain was showering her with so much attention and pleasure , and she couldn't stop herself from crying tears of pure joy .

Looking up at her captain , she watched as he brought his right hand (which was soaked with her juices) up from her pussy and squeezed her free nipple getting some of her milk on his fingers, before he stuck two of his fingers in his mouth and licked the combination of her cum and breast milk in a very lewd manner .

She really loved this man .

"Mmm... You taste delicious Diane . I think next time I'll drink directly from the source . I'm sure you don't mind right ?" Jeremiah whispered in her ear as he licked and nibbled on it . He groaned as she kept rotating her hips , making his cock continue to move between her ass cheeks in a very pleasurable way even with his boxers still on , although he was probably about to take them off seeing as they were now soaked with Diane's juices .

He watched as Diane opened her mouth and her breast popped out with a wet smacking sound before she looked up at him with a loopy smile and dazed look in her eyes .

"Hehe~ Not at all Captain~ You can do whatever you want to me~ I'll do anything for you~ ." She said with happiness and devotion . Jeremiah looked down at her and gave her a smile before he planted a soft kiss on her forehead , making her smile increase .

"In that case , there is something I'd like for you to do ." Jeremiah said and before she could reply , he picked her up and gently put her down in front of his chair . Looking at her curious face he smiled before...

Diane watched her Captain with her eyes gradually growing wider as she watched him slowly reach for the waistband of his boxers and slowly , oh so slowly started pulling them down .

Jeremiah looked down at Diane's face and grew a small smirk . He loved the combined look of desperation and hunger on her face. He was pretty sure he was a sadist .

"What's wrong Diane ?" He asked 'innocently' as he played with his waistband .

"I want it..." Diane said in a daze as she looked up at him and slowly crawled closer to him , crawling through the cum she squirted not even ten minutes ago .

"What do you want ?"

"Your cock~ I want Captain's cock~! Please~!" She said as she reached him and looked up at him with pleading eyes .

Jeremiah smiled at her before , with no words , he pulled his boxers all the way down .

Diane watched in wonder , eagerly waiting to finally see the thing she's been fantasizing about for years . Only to flinch when it came popping out and hit her face .

"Oh . Looks like I'm even harder than I thought ." She heard her Captain say and after blinking to clear her vision , she looked up and saw her captain smiling down at her while idly stroking his large cock .

Looking at it , she felt herself get even wetter if that was possible and she actually started drooling .

She watched as her captain , still smiling , sat down and said "Well ? Come get your treat ." And she wasted no time in doing so .

Kneeling between his legs , she marveled at the sight of him up close . Truly , even in a moment like this when he wasn't even trying he still somehow managed to look even more noble than a king . Swallowing thickly , she reached a trembling hand out and gingerly wrapped said hand around his cock . She wasn't surprised when she couldn't fit her whole hand around it .

She looked up and locked eyes with her captain , and she felt an overwhelming need to make him feel good . Reaching up with her other hand , she wrapped that one around his cock as well and began stroking it with both her hands .

Hearing her captain groan , she took that as a good sign and decided to get a little more bold . Still stroking , she stuck out her tongue and began hungrily licking all around the tip .

"Mmm... That's good Diane . Just like that..." Jeremiah said as he leaned back in his seat and rubbed the top of her head encouragingly .

He really needed this .

Spurred on by her captain's encouragement , Diane opened her mouth as wide as she could before she engulfed the tip of his cock in her mouth , which wasn't easy with how thick it was , and she couldn't believe how good he tasted.

Her lust spiking , Diane began stroking faster while bobbing her head up and down . Even with both of her hands stroking his cock , it was so big that over half of it was left for her mouth .

"Diane..." Jeremiah moaned her name , sending very pleasant shivers down her spine .

Wanting to give her dear Captain more pleasure , Diane grabbed her huge boobs and sandwiched his cock between them and began moving them while she continued bobbing her head up and down at a fast pace while moaning (his haki was still focused on her which made it feel good for her as well) . Unfortunately , she could only fit just a little past the tip in her mouth since her breasts were so huge that they smothered nearly the whole thing .

"Oh fuuuck..." Jeremiah muttered as the feeling of Diane's breasts on his cock was something that he couldn't even describe . Words like "good" or "great" simply wouldn't do it justice . Ten minutes later he could already feel an orgasm approaching . It was no surprise to him that he was cumming so quickly considering how pent up he was .

"I'm about to cum Diane ." Diane heard her Captain say and her eyes widened before she began moving her head and boobs as fast as she could , desperately wanting even more of him .

Five minutes later and Jeremiah burst "Diane!" He said as he bucked his hips and Diane moaned heavily as she felt his cum shoot into her mouth . She couldn't believe how good he tasted . Just giving him a blowjob was enough to make her cum , and his cum was making her lust skyrocket .

Diane did her best to swallow all of it , but some of it leaked out the sides of her mouth and landed on her chin and breasts . It was simply too much to be able to swallow all in one go . When she did swallow , she let out a very lewd moan as she had a trembling orgasm .

Jeremiah looked down at Diane with hunger in his eyes . As he thought , that one orgasm wasn't enough . He needed more .

Diane was still coming down from the high of her orgasm , when she felt her captain grab the sides of her head before he smiled as he put the tip of his cock right in front of her mouth .

"Brace yourself ." Was all he said before he began sticking the whole thing in inch by inch , both of them groaning in pleasure .

Diane felt as his cock reached the entrance of her throat and they locked eyes with each other right before he plunged the rest of it down her throat in one quick motion , making her squirt a bit . She was a little surprised that she didn't gag at all , but pushed it to the back of her mind .

"I'm not holding back . Enjoy your treat ." She heard her Captain say before he began ruthlessly fucking her throat .

'I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him , I love him-' Diane thought repeatedly while her eyes turned blank and her arms hung limply at her sides as she orgasmed practically nonstop .

"Here comes another load ." Jeremiah grunted as he shot his second load down right down her throat , and she instantly began swallowing. He couldn't get enough of her . She was just too sexy and her body was so damn lewd .

Thirty minutes and three orgasms later , Jeremiah decided he should wrap this up soon since the rest of the crew would start waking up soon .

"Last one Diane . Be sure to drink it all ." He said though Diane barely registered it since she was totally lost in pleasure . A few minutes later he came right down her throat again . Sighing in content he began pulling out of her throat , though not for lack of resistance on Diane's part since she still kept trying to suck him like a vacuum .

Pulling out with a wet pop , one last spurt of cum shot out and landed on Diane's face which she quickly and greedily licked .

"Captain~ More~ Please~ !" Diane begged as she nuzzled her face against his penis while fingering herself .

"As much as I would like to do more , I'm afraid we'll have to end it here . The rest of the crew will be up soon and we're already nearing the island ." Jeremiah said while rubbing her head gently as well as slowly rubbing his still hard cock on her face , with her trying to lick it as much as possible . He really did want to do more since he was really pent up from all these years with no sexual activity whatsoever aside from the occasional masturbation , but he had to hold back for now . Business before pleasure (unfortunately) .

Seeing her pout and her eyes watering , he smiled at her before he crouched down a planted a long soft kiss on her forehead before he looked into her eyes and said "Don't mope. I always like seeing you smile ."

Diane stared into her captain's eyes as he rubbed her head affectionately with a soft smile on his face . She had said it once while she was locked in a haze of lust , but she felt now would be a better time to say it .

"I love you Captain . I love you so , so much." She said as a few tears fell from her eyes . She'd held it in for so long because she was afraid of rejection , but she just couldn't do that anymore . She didn't want to just be close friends with him . She wanted to be HIS .

Jeremiah stared at her for a bit before nodding to himself and leaning forward to give her a kiss on the lips . Not a lustful kiss , just a soft sweet one .

Diane's eyes widened and became even more watery before she closed them and returned the kiss .

Pulling back , Jeremiah rested his forehead on hers as he looked into her eyes before he replied "I love you too Diane . I have for a long time now ."

Diane gave a big happy smile while still crying , only now they were tears of happiness .

"Then-"

"But... I can't date you . At least , not yet . I also have feelings for Ryoko and Shiro , and I'm sure you've noticed by now that they have pretty strong feelings for me ." 'Though , I wonder if Shiro even realizes what her feelings are for me.' "I need to work all of that out before trying to date anyone ." Jeremiah said . He knew it was best to be upfront in a situation like this . He didn't want to bring any unnecessary baggage/drama into a relationship . It wouldn't be fair to her .

"I see..." Diane said as she looked down with a thoughtful look . As he said , she had indeed noticed the love Ryoko and Shiro had for Jeremiah . It was the main reason she was so envious of Shiro for getting to sleep with Jeremiah literally every night . The only thing she even really used her own room for at this point was to keep her things in there .

"Well , we can talk about this later . For now I think we both could use a shower . We're pretty sticky ." Jeremiah said as he stood up and extended a hand to her and pulled her up .

Looking herself over , Diane blushed when she saw how much of a mess they (mostly her) made . She blushed even harder when Jeremiah gave a small small and said "Yeah . You squirted quite a bit ."

He chuckled when she buried her face in his chest trying to cover her embarrassment . Thankfully he had already reigned in his haki , so he wasn't worried about touching her or her being close to him .

"No point in being embarrassed now . Besides , if anything I'd say you should be proud . That was very sexy . But that's for another time . For now go on ahead and take a shower . I'll clean all this up ." He said as he kissed the top of her head before motioning for her to go .

Diane nodded and after debating with herself , she gave him a quick yet tight hug before walking away with a large smile .

Jeremiah watched her go before looking up at the sky and sighing to himself .

'I can certainly think of worse ways to start a day .'

[ Five Hours Later ]

Jeremiah was currently going around by himself on the island he and his crew arrived at a few hours ago as he looked for his target . He was currently disguised since he didn't want the marines to know he was here . It wasn't anything elaborate , he just used his shapeshifting to turn himself into a bird . It was almost poetic considering who he was looking for .

His crew and ship were all at the south side of the island since all that was over there was a forest and a cliff overlooking the sea . It served as a pretty good hiding spot . Another reason he was flying around was because it made it easy for him to map the island . With his tech powers , he was basically a supercomputer and was more than capable of quickly storing information and reviewing it later .

It took a while since he didn't have the energy signature to track , but he eventually found his target .

Said target was a young girl with cream colored skin and long black hair . She was wearing a simple burgundy dress , which Jeremiah could tell was not of good quality by analyzing it , and a pair of dark purple slip on shoes . Also poor quality .

This young girl was none other than Nico Robin .

She had a blank look on her face as she leaned against a tree while reading a book . If he wasn't mistaken , he should have about a month or so until the buster call comes . The main reason he decided to come early was so that he could begin gaining Robin and the other archaeologists trust . Mostly Robin though , obviously .

Not wanting to waste anymore time , Jeremiah flew down to her and landed on her shoulder .

Robin jumped a bit when she felt something land on her and as she looked at her shoulder , she was surprised to see a bird staring at her . A robin to be exact although it seemed bigger than usual , closer to the size of a fully grown raven .

Robin was surprised . She was usually avoided by both humans and animals for some reason . This was the first time that she could recall an animal apparently wanting to be near her .

She timidly reached over and rubbed its head with one of her fingers before going back to her book .

"So you like history ?" She heard a high pitched voice suddenly ask , startling her . Looking around she didn't see anyone , making her wonder if she imagined it .

"Ignoring me ? How mean ." She heard the voice speak again .

Looking around warily , she replied "Where are you ?"

"Right here ." Was the answer she received before she felt the bird on her shoulder lightly peck her cheek , making her turn to it.

It stared at her for a while before saying "Hey ."

"Kyah!" Robin gave an uncharacteristic squeak as she scrambled away from the bird that was now flapping its wings in the air . How did a bird just talk ?

"Oh come on , there's no way I'm that scary ." It said as it flew closer to her .

"I'm not scared , I'm just shocked . Who wouldn't be when an animal starts speaking like a human ?" Robin said more calmly though still warily . As expected , even as a kid she was good at keeping her composure .

"Hmm I suppose that's true . Then how about this ?" The bird said before , to Robin's shock , its body began shifting and after about twenty seconds she was now looking at a tall human male with caramel skin , long black twisted hair , sharp golden-brown eyes , and a beard .

He had on a black cloak that covered his body from the neck down to his shins , so she was unable to see what else he was wearing aside from dark gray pants and black shoes .

"I'm Jeremiah . Nice to meet you ." He said with a much deeper and smoother voice than his bird form as he crouched down in front of her and extended his hand to her with a small smile .

"Y- you're like me ." Robin said with a bit of shock as she shook his hand . Of course she knew she wasn't the only person in the world with powers , but she had never met or even seen someone else who had eaten a devil fruit .

"Hm ? How so ?" Jeremiah asked with a raised eyebrow . He already knew of course , he just figured he might as well ask .

Robin stepped back before she stuck her arm out to the side and Jeremiah watched as three more arms grew from the original which made it look like a flower , while also making a few arms and legs sprout from the ground around them . Usually she would be hesitant to use her powers around other people since whenever they saw it she would be called a monster or demon , but she figured (and hoped) he would be different since he also had powers .

Glancing at him to gauge his reaction , she saw him smile at her before he reached out and softly rubbed her arm(s) before he said "Hmm that's pretty cool . How many can you make ?"

Robin blushed imperceptibly from the praise before she replied "I don't really know . I've never needed to make more than a few."

"That's no good . Once you've got powers I personally believe you should train often . Especially with a power like yours that has good versatility ."

"Train?" Robin asked while deactivating her power .

"Sure . For instance , what if you created a bunch of arms on your back and combined them to make wings ? Or combined a bunch of arms or legs to make a giant limb ?" Jeremiah said . She would end up doing it at some point in the future anyway , so why not give her a head start ?

Robin blinked before thinking about it and nodding . It's not like she was adverse to training with her power , she just never really had a reason to .

"By the way you never gave me your name ." Jeremiah said as he tilted his head while looking at her .

Robin thought about it before realizing he was right and replied "Nico Robin ."

"Pleasure to meet you Robin ." He started as he stood up and walked over to the book she was reading before picking it up and continuing "Here . Sorry for making you drop it ." He finished as he held it out to her .

Robin grabbed it from him while muttering a thanks and watched him as he went and sat under a tree while leaning his head back to look up at the sky .

"Say Robin , are you hungry ?" He asked her . It was a little past noon so Soma should have lunch ready soon .

"No ." Robin replied only for her stomach to lightly growl right afterwards . They sat there staring at each other for a bit before Robin brought her book up in front of her face to hide her embarrassment caused by her traitorous stomach , making Jeremiah silently chuckle to himself .

"Come on , my friend should be done cooking soon . I may be just a little biased , but I'm willing to bet he's the best cook you'll ever lay eyes on . Personal guarantee ." Jeremiah said as he stood up and extended a hand to her .

Robin hesitated . Would it be okay ? He didn't seem like a bad person , but she wasn't sure if she should just follow some stranger to what was apparently a group of more strangers .

"We won't do anything to harm you . I promise ." Jeremiah said . There was no way he would ever even think about hurting Robin. While he was on this island , he would also do what he could to make sure none of its inhabitants messed with her . Especially her damn aunt and uncle .

If he saw them abuse her in any way , then he would simply make them disappear . He would also have some words for Olivia when he sees her . He was all for the pursuit of knowledge , but not at the expense of leaving your child with someone that clearly doesn't care for their well being . He did understand that she wasn't just doing it for the sake of wanting to know and that she wanted that info to help the world in some way , but the point still stands .

Robin kept looking at him before she sighed to herself . 'I'll never get anywhere if I don't give anyone a chance .' She thought . It's not like she didn't want to connect with people . It's just that she was so alienated that it put a strain on her social skills as well as already having abandonment issues from her mother leaving her at a young age . Well , younger than she was already . She couldn't even remember her face .

With her decision made , she slowly reached out and grab his hand while giving him a small nod and saw him give her a small smile before turning and walking away , pulling her with him .

'They'll definitely love her .' Jeremiah thought to himself .

[ Two Weeks Later ]

He was right . It hadn't even taken an hour for all of the crew to warm up to Robin . The two that stayed around her the most , as Jeremiah expected given that they were the youngest , were Nana and Shiro . Speaking of Nana , Robin had naturally been surprised to see a mink in person for the first time .

As for Shiro while she did genuinely like Robin , part of the reason she was with her so often was because Jeremiah told her it might be good for her to try being like a big sister . That it could help her grow in a way that she wouldn't be able to experience otherwise. Shiro was confused but she accepted regardless .

Right now rather than Jeremiah , we actually find Asta and Nana walking with Robin as they approached the shore their ship was docked at . Jeremiah was currently busy with something else , hence why they were with her instead of him .

"Come oooon . Would it really be that bad ?" Asta whined as he tried to use puppy eyes like he'd seen Shiro do before . He apparently forgot to factor in the difference in cuteness between them .

Asta was wearing a simple long sleeved white tunic with dark blue plants and brown sandals . His growth spurt hadn't stopped yet , with him now standing at a respectable 5'11" .

"Nope~ . I won't marry you that easily ." Nana said as she crossed her arms and looked away with a playful look on her face .

Nana had on a navy blue sun dress that showed a bit of cleavage with matching high heeled sandals and a sun hat on her head . She also had on two bracelets on her left wrist , one white and one blue .

"Oh come on... Well what can I do to make you agree ?" Asta asked with a pout and his hands in his pockets as he idly kicked a rock . Nana had to hold back a laugh . Asta was one of the toughest people she'd ever met , yet at times like this he could still act like a kid . She found it charming in a way .

"Who knows~? I'll leave that up to you . Surprise me!" She said as she skipped ahead of him with a smile . Truthfully she wasn't against the idea of being with Asta , it was just fun playing hard to get and teasing him like this . She was actually happy with the way he genuinely pursued her , even after over a year of constant "rejections" . Most people , guy or girl , would have definitely given up by now . Still , she did at least show him romantic affection from time to time . She didn't want it to seem like she was just uninterested or make him think she was just toying with him .

"*Sigh* Surprise huh ?" Asta said to himself as he ran a hand through his hair . Looks like he would have to go back to the drawing board .

Robin was walking ahead of them and as she overheard their conversation she held back a giggle . Asta seemed to have a sixth sense that always informed him when someone was laughing at him , something she learned in the last two weeks , and he would always get depressed in a very dramatic way .

Robin... Was happy . She hadn't known what to expect when she followed Jeremiah that day , but she was now glad that she did . Not only did they welcome her with open arms , buy her new clothes , and feed her properly .

She even learned that Jeremiah was also interested in history just like she was , and he even let her see his notes about poneglypghs! It was something she was interested in and had learned how to read them a while ago , but Clover and the other archaeologists always just told her it was too dangerous for her without ever actually going into detail on WHY it was so dangerous , which Jeremiah did .

He told her how it was made illegal by the World Government for anyone to read or even know how to read the poneglyphs due to them not wanting anyone to know about the secret information on them , which he told her spoke of the void century . A 100 year gap in the history of the world .

When he told her that she had been worried . For him and his crew , the archaeologists on the island , as well as herself . He told her she didn't need to worry at all , but he also told her that she should never tell anyone that she knows how to read the poneglyphs under any circumstances . He said if she told anyone else , then there was no guarantee that the government wouldn't find out .

When she asked him why he wasn't scared or worried at all , his entire crew laughed a bit before he replied "Even if the government ever did find out about my knowledge and understanding of the poneglyphs , as well as my further pursuit of said knowledge , they know they would have to send either an entire fleet or a lot of their top hitters if they really wanted to take us out , which they can't afford to do at just any given moment .

They wouldn't risk leaving all of their bases including headquarters unguarded just for us , and they certainly wouldn't want to risk it going public if they did try that given the public opinion of us vs them . Though it would be a different story if we already learned of the true history . For whatever reason , they don't want anyone to know what happened all those centuries ago..." Was what he said with full confidence and his crew nodded along with him . If she was going off of what he said then he and his crew must be strong and important people .

They did tell her that they were adventurers and about some of the adventures they've been on which she did find interesting , but she didn't really understand how that translated to strength (they didn't tell her about their fights) .

Robin was wearing a dress Jeremiah bought for her that was similar to Nana's , only her's was purple and it had three buttons on it and it obviously wasn't showing any cleavage . On her feet she had a pair of purple and black tennis shoes .

"Looks like we're here... Oh ? Looks like someone's in trouble ." Nana's said , snapping Robin out of her thoughts . Looking toward the beach , she saw someone laying on the sand unconscious and with torn clothes . Though before any of that , she noted that he was a giant .

It was a little surprising to see one here of all places , but not too much since she had seen Diane's giant form once although she had said it wasn't anywhere near her full size since that would draw the attention of pretty much everyone on the island .

"Be careful Robin ." Came Asta's voice as she approached the downed giant . Behind her Asta and Nana narrowed their eyes as they looked at the seemingly unconscious giant . He looked vaguely familiar , but it was a little hard to tell for sure with the way he was positioned .

As Robin stood there staring at the giant , Asta and Nana quickly noticed his hand starting to move and Asta wasted no time as he dashed and grabbed Robin before he pulled her back and put her behind him .

"Grrr!" The giant growled as he coughed and popped his head up while sticking his arms in the air . They all just stared at him and he stared back before he dropped back to the ground coughing as he wheezed out "Wa.... Water ."

Asta stared at him impassively for a while before he was tapped on his back and as he looked back he realized he saw Robin and Nana both staring at him , with Nana having an expectant look on her face .

With a sigh he turned back to Saul before he grabbed his hand and began dragging him to a stream that should be safe to drink from , all the while ignoring Robin's small sound of surprise at the rest of strength . This wasn't even a workout for him .

'*Sigh* The things I do for love .' He couldn't help but think to himself with a shake of his head .

Five minutes later and we find the small group at the stream with the giant drinking like his life depended on it .

"I know I've seen him somewhere..." Asta whispered to Nana who nodded as she tried to remember where but was coming up blank .

The giant brought his head up and suddenly Asta finally remembered .

"He's a marine . A vice admiral if I'm remembering correctly ." He said with narrowed eyes making Nana snap and lowly exclaim "Aha!" . It seems she also remembered now .

"That hit the spot!" The giant said before falling backing , smashing some trees in the process . "I somehow survived . I wonder if she's okay too..." He continued and he glanced over at the people standing next to him before turning his head and saying "I'm saved for now . Thank y- Huh?" He cut himself off as he squinted his eyes and stared closely at the two adults he could see .

When he realized who they were his eyes widened to almost comical proportions and was about to yell only for the male , Asta he easily remembered , to put a finger to his lips while shaking his head . Suddenly a scary thought came to his mind . 'Oh no... If they're here then their captain must not be far behind.' He thought to himself with a shiver .

Out of all the possible places , why did have to drift to the island where one of the most infamous crew's in the world were at ? What were the chances of that even happening ?

He sighed . Well at least they didn't just randomly kill or start fights with people , if he was trusting the limited information he had about them which was really all he could do at the moment .

Plus it was better for his heart to think(hope) they won't try to kill him for no reason .

[ Two Weeks Later ]

"Professor! Professor Clover!" Two men yelled as they rushed into the the great library of Ohara .

"Hm? Did something happen?" Clover said as he looked up at them from his seated position .

"I hope it's nothing to worry about , but a Navyship is anchored at the seashore!" The man with glasses said as he panted for breath .

"They might be here for an investigation! We should be cautious just in case!" Said the man with a white cowboy hat and long mustache .

"Hm Inform all the scholars ." Clover told them and they nodded before they ran off .

[ Thirty Minutes Later ]

"It's been a while , everyone ." Said a woman with a hat on her head just before she took it off which revealed that she had white hair and a striking resemblance to Robin . She also had a bandage on her left cheek .

"Olivia!"

"So it was you who came on that Navy ship ."

"We thought you'd been caught by the Navy ..." The archaeologists all said with both worry and relief .

"Yes , I'm sorry to worry you . I have bad news . The government has found out what we've been doing . There's already multiple ships on the way to execute us. They'll destroy the whole island and everyone on it ." Olivia said to them with a shaky voice . She felt like it was her fault .

'Its just like that man said .' Clover thought to himself before folding his arms and replying "So the government has finally set its sights on Ohara huh?"

"They wiped out our whole research team . I was even temporarily captured . The government evaluated my fellow archaeologists belongings and figured out that we were from Ohara . It's inexcusable! To think that this island is now in danger because of us!" Olivia said as she brought a hand up to her face.

"It's not your fault Olivia . Also there's no need to worry ." Clover said as he walked over to his usual spot and sat down .

"No need to worry?! Professor , how can you be so cavalier?! They won't show us any mercy!" Olivia yelled . Why was he acting like this was no big deal?!

"Olivia , trust me . The island will be fine ." Clover said with confidence and a steely gaze .

"How can you say that so calmly ?! We . Will . Die !" Olivia yelled again . Now she was beginning to get annoyed and angry .

"We have an ally . A certain man that is seen as a hero to many and a villain to those who oppose him . He also happens to be able to understand the poneglyphs and wants to protect them at all costs ." Clover said and not just Olivia , but even the other archaeologists were surprised .

"Who is this mystery ally ? Is he trustworthy ? Why didn't you tell us sooner Professor ?" Multiple people asked rapidly though Clover just stared at Olivia .

"While that does sound nice , how can one man take on five vice admirals and ten Navy battleships by himself ?" Olivia asked with skepticism .

"This isn't just any man Olivia and also he is not alone . He has strong and trustworthy companions who I'm sure you -all of you- have heard about many times before ." Clover said as he folded his hands on the table in front of him .

It was silent for a while aside from some whispers here and there , before someone gulped and asked "J- Just who is it ?"

Clover brought his folded hands up in front of his face with his elbows resting the table before he replied "They are..."

[Elsewhere On The Island , Twenty Minutes Later ]

Jeremiah stood watching , unnoticed , as Spandine spouted on and on to Olivia about how she would never be free since the government would easily be able to find all the evidence of her being connected to Ohara .

"If Ohara , the holy land of archaeology , is crushed , it'll send shockwaves throughout academia . We can make the world realize what happens to those who research the Void Century ." Spending said with a smirk while the two Cipher Pol agents next to him looked as stoic as ever .

"But as a matter of form , we need to verify the crime . After all , we're not pirates . So I came all the way here to conduct a compulsory investigation on the island and to send off those who have nothing to do with the matter ." He continued with his smirk still intact .

"Take her down ." He ordered the two agents as he dropped his smirk.

The two nodded before they blurred out of sight and reappeared in front of Olivia with the use of {Shave} and prepared to attack her .

"I think that's enough ." Came a new voice from in front of Olivia and she and Spandie watched in shock as the two agents suddenly fell to the ground unconscious .

The new arrival was a tall caramel skinned man with long twisted hair who was wearing a gray long sleeved button up shirt with a black tie , black slacks , and gray leather formal shoes. As he turned his head halfway to look at her , Olivia saw that he had beautiful golden-brown sharp eyes and a beard as well .

It was a face that was known the whole world over .

He looked her up and down silently before he turned back to Spandine with narrowed eyes that were dimly glowing and said one thing .

"Looks like I'll have to show you all your place again ."
