Early the next morning, Robin woke up.

When she opened her eyes and saw that she was in the arms of a man, she couldn't help but blush.

She still couldn't be as calm as she would be in the future.

She quickly sat up and checked her body for any abnormalities.

She knew there were perverts in this world, especially those who liked young girls.

After some checks, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Relax, I'm not that shameless. I haven't done anything to you."

At some point, Yuri had woken up and was looking at her with a smile.

"Normally, gentlemen don't meet for the first time and just sleep with their arms around someone," Robin said, rolling her eyes.

"Haha, I'm not a gentleman. I'm a pirate, so I naturally take what I like. Nico Robin, I like you very much."

"Sure enough, you are a pervert."

"Uh..." Yuri felt misunderstood.

...

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yuri Gabriel."

"I know, pervert who likes young girls. Yuri," Robin replied.

"I explained it all. There is only one bed in the house, and I didn't do anything to you..." Yuri said again.

"Robin, I am going to sea. Do you want to join my crew and go out to sea with me?" Yuri asked solemnly.

"Didn't I already sleep in your bed?" Robin said lightly.

"I mean seriously, on a ship going to sea," Yuri said.

"I'm serious too. Didn't you ask if I wanted to join your crew yesterday? Did you mean a ship going to sea, not just a bed?" Even as a young girl, Robin had a sharp tongue.

"..." Yuri was speechless. "Then you are welcome to join the Gabriel Pirates."

...

"Why did you find Nico Robin, an important criminal in the World Government, in Buta Town? I understand, I'll summon the soldiers immediately."

There was a Marine branch in Buta Town.

The highest commander of the branch was Marine Captain Larkin.

It was because of the existence of this Marine branch that Menka brought Robin to Buta Town.

He was preparing to hand Robin over to the Marines in exchange for a bounty through the Buta Town Marine branch.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect Yuri to intercept them halfway.

But Robin's presence in Buta Town was not a secret.

Especially since Yuri had called out Robin's name in public, and there were many witnesses. Naturally, it couldn't be hidden.

The Marines received the news the next day.

Captain Larkin of the Buta Town branch knew Robin was a criminal the World Government was focusing on.

If he could capture her, it would be a huge credit.

So when Larkin heard Robin's name, he immediately summoned the Marine soldiers.

He wanted to capture Nico Robin alive.

...

"It looks like we have guests. Marines? They arrived faster than expected."

In the morning, Yuri made a hearty breakfast.

As soon as the two finished eating, Yuri sensed something and looked outside.

His Observation Haki had clearly detected the Marines surrounding them.

When Yuri mentioned the Marines, Robin became nervous.

There was a hint of fear in her eyes, and she looked at Yuri with some doubt.

Why were the Marines here?

Had she been betrayed again?

"What are you thinking? If I wanted to exchange you for a bounty, would I need to do all this?" Yuri rolled his eyes.

Seeing Robin's look, Yuri could easily guess what she was thinking.

Hearing Yuri's words, Robin felt a bit embarrassed.

At the same time, she was relieved. With Yuri's strength, if he wanted to capture her for Beli, he really wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

"Don't worry, you're mine now. If the Marines want to arrest you, they'll have to get past me first," Yuri said with a smile.

Robin rolled her eyes.

Robin always felt that Yuri's gaze was a bit strange when he looked at her.

It was like a mix of appreciation, love, and possessiveness.

Robin didn't understand why Yuri would fall for her, especially when she was dirty and unkempt like a beggar.

In the end, she could only attribute it to Yuri being a pervert.

"You wait here. I'll drive them away," Yuri stood up and said.

...

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, Captain Larkin. This is where the pirate hunter Gabriel Yuri lives. He lives here alone. According to the townsfolk, Nico Robin, the Devil Child, was brought here by Gabriel Yuri. If they haven't left, they should still be here."

"Gabriel Yuri? Isn't he a pirate hunter? Since he captured Nico Robin, why didn't he hand her over to the Marines for a bounty but brought her home instead? Well, the credit for capturing Nico Robin will be ours," Larkin said.

"But Captain, I heard Gabriel Yuri's strength is not simple. Many pirates with bounties have died at his hands. He once defeated a pirate ship with a 9 million Beli bounty with a single blow," a Marine Ensign said.

"He's just a pirate hunter. How strong can he be? No matter how powerful he is, he can't block so many of us. He can't block muskets and cannons. I brought all the cannons this time. If he doesn't know his place, I'll deal with him myself," Larkin said indifferently.

Hearing Larkin's words, the Marine Ensign nodded.

He didn't believe Yuri could stop so many Marines, especially with their cannons.

As they were talking, the door of Yuri's house opened, and Yuri walked out.

"Marines, I know why you're here, but Nico Robin will be a member of my Gabriel Pirates from today. So if you want her, you'd better leave," Yuri said grinning.

Larkin's face darkened at Yuri's words.

"Yuri, are you serious? Do you know what this means? Nico Robin is a major criminal to the World Government. If you want to go to sea as a pirate, you'll be an enemy of the Marines. Think about the consequences," Larkin said coldly.

"Enemies? You think you can be my enemies with those rusty weapons? You're not qualified," Yuri said with a smile.

"Prepare the cannons," Larkin ordered coldly.

Under Larkin's command, the Marines aimed their artillery at Yuri.

"Yuri, I'll give you another chance to take back what you just said," Larkin said with a sneer.

"You're really annoying. Do you think those cannons will help you?" Yuri smiled faintly.

While speaking, Yuri stretched out a hand, and electric sparks flashed on his palm.

Suddenly, the Marine artillery flew up from the ground toward Yuri.

"What's happening? How can the cannons fly?"

"No, my gun flew away."

"My sword..."

"All the weapons are flying away!"

The Marines kept exclaiming.

As the cannons flew up, the guns and swords in the Marines' hands broke free and flew toward Yuri.

"Devil Fruit ability?" Larkin desperately held onto his long sword to prevent it from flying away, but the sword kept shaking as if it was trying to fly away.

"Impressive!"

Robin, observing from inside, watched as Yuri stretched out his hand and made the Marines' weapons fly.

When Robin first met Yuri, she knew he had a Devil Fruit ability like her.

Because of her Devil Fruit ability, Robin had been considered an outcast since childhood, and she felt a connection with Yuri.

But seeing Yuri's ability in action still amazed her.

"Hahaha, since you want them so much, I'll give them back to you," Yuri said, laughing.

With a flick of his hand, the artillery, guns, swords, and other weapons turned into a torrent of steel and shot toward the Marines.

The weapons flew out like cannonballs, causing chaos among the Marines.

"Asshole!" Larkin shouted angrily, charging at Yuri.

As a captain, Larkin had trained at Marine Headquarters.

He had mastered one of the Marine Six Styles, Soru.

When he charged at Yuri, the angry Larkin used Soru, instantly accelerating and appearing in front of Yuri.

"Is this Soru, one of the Marine Six Styles? Too bad your speed is still too slow," Yuri said lightly. Without knowing when, Yuri's fingers were holding a coin.

When Larkin appeared in front of Yuri, the coin in Yuri's hand turned into an orange flash and flew out.

Larkin, ready to slash at Yuri, suddenly saw Yuri holding a coin.

A coin? What's the meaning of this?

Did Yuri plan to attack him with a coin?

Wouldn't that be underestimating him?

At that moment, he saw an orange light shoot out from Yuri's hand.

It was too fast, beyond the speed of sound. Larkin didn't even have time to react before he was hit.

The terrifying force impacted him, sending him flying backward.

By the time Larkin lost consciousness, he was already out of the fight.

"Captain Larkin!" the Marines exclaimed.

"Is that an electromagnetic cannon?" Robin said in surprise.

Robin had seen Yuri's move before.

Recalling Yuri's ability, Robin, as a scholar, soon thought of the concept of an electromagnetic cannon.

In this world, the electromagnetic cannon only existed in scholars' concepts, but Yuri had realized it with his Devil Fruit ability.

"Do you still want to test my strength?" Yuri asked with a sneer.

"Retreat, retreat quickly," the Marine Ensign ordered immediately.

At his command, the Marines evacuated.
