A year ago, when she had just set out to sea, she would hesitate before doing some things. But as she went undercover in various organizations, her understanding of the outside world grew, and her actions became more decisive.
This was why she spent most of her time undercover in illegal organizations. It made her actions more decisive, without a hint of hesitation.
From the actions of these kids just now, it was clear they were not good people.
Her training on Onigashima was different from Yamato and others. Unlike the spartan daily beatings, she has just been consistently strengthening her physique. Most of her time was spent learning various other things. So, she only has a slight grasp of Armament Haki.
However, she also learned something else from others, that is, she gained a deeper understanding of human anatomy by following Nightin. She achieved greater proficiency in joint locks and, at the same time, developed a certain understanding of human acupoints, blood vessels and meridians.
This was a big challenge in the one piece world because of the diverse body types. Not to mention the Longleg Tribe or Longarm Tribe with many joints, even ordinary people have various peculiar anatomy.
Conical heads, drill-like noses, radish-like bodies, short legs, and the like. It was extremely challenging to correlate with conventional acupoints. Even Nightin had to make gradual attempts, spending many years before successfully integrating them into her own body techniques.
Although her martial art is named after traditional Chinese medicine, it primarily involves striking acupoints. At the age of 80, she could spar with Hancock who was in her prime thanks to a secret medicine rejuvenating her, and she was also an officer on World’s ship. Nightin is considered a strong fighter among pirates.
What Robin learned from her allowed her to find fatal weak points more accurately when attacking enemies. She used the vulnerability of joints and nerves to execute her kills, rather than brute force to break the enemy’s bones.
Nightin highly praised Robin’s learning talent. If it was a fixed target and the opponent’s body wasn’t abnormal, she could probably stab them a dozen times without hitting any vital points.
Ten extra arms appeared on Law and other’s bodies. The strength of the arms derived from Robin’s ability originates from her own main body’s strength. After meticulous training, her physique has improved, so she intends to twist their spine and neck with her arms.
The relic trafficker had already disclosed the locations of certain items. She was now planning to reap the rewards. However, when she was about to act, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart. She quickly dispelled her ability, but several wounds still appeared on her arms.
This was the weakness of her ability. If the limbs derived from it were injured, her main body would also be injured.
As for what injured her ability? They were thin threads, one of which had blood droplets hanging from it.
“Fuffuffuffu, isn’t this the Black Widow who has been quite famous recently? How did this venomous spider end up in a place like this?”
At this moment, the French window on the second floor was open. Doflamingo was squatting there nonchalantly, the threads he had just used to attack dangling from his fingers.
Doflamingo cares about his officers, provided they were valuable and didn’t hinder him. Otherwise, he would kill them even if they were his own blood relatives.
His younger brother, Rosinante, described him as a natural villain.
Baby-5 and the others were all reserve officers of the Donquixote family. This was their trial, but other adult officers were also following behind them.
Originally, Doflamingo had no intention of intervening. However, Robin’s appearance disrupted his plans. His gaze has always been on the place in the New World where monsters gathered. Although he was in the North Blue, he had been in contact with forces in the Grand Line.
And Nico Robin had recently made a name for herself in the Underworld, almost wiping out every organization she encountered, yet she always managed to escape unscathed.
Initially, some thought it was luck on her part, or perhaps bad luck on the part of those who tried to recruit her, hence the nickname.
In Doflamingo’s eyes, that nickname suited her well, but he didn’t believe it was luck. Once or twice might be okay, but Robin had brought down four and a half organizations in a year. She was clearly the mastermind behind the scenes.
Those people who thought highly of themselves were nothing but insects caught in her web.
“Donquixote Doflamingo.”
“Fuffuffuffu, Miss Robin actually knows me? How rare. So, have you thought about joining me?”
He valued Robin’s abilities. Her abilities would surely be of use to him in his future operations. As for trust issues, he felt he was different from those idiots. Robin couldn’t possibly cause any trouble in his hands.
“Unfortunately, I’ve to decline your invitation.”
When she came here, she had already gathered information about this place. The Donquixote Family has only recently started dealing with the Underworld of the Grand Line. But the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom were the major players there. So, Robin has some understanding of this person.
The path he follows is completely contrary to hers, so this organization was not suitable for her.
“Oh? Can I assume you’re giving up your life?”
He doesn’t intend to let such a person go free. If Robin refuses, Doflamingo has no intention of letting her leave alive.
“Of course not. I’m just considering your situation. After all, you can’t afford the consequences of snatching people away.”
Saying this, Robin pulled down the armband on her shoulder, the skull with horns very conspicuous.
“Mr. Doflamingo, you should recognize this flag. If you can persuade Mr. Kaido, I have no objections.”
Compared to fools, Robin preferred to deal with the clever ones because the Beasts Pirates’ flag might not be effective against those mindless brutes, and sometimes it might even provoke their desire for challenge.
But clever people with discerning eyes were different, like Doflamingo, who had been developing his own Underworld network. They would never risk offending an Emperor of the Sea.
And as it turned out, just as Robin guessed, Doflamingo’s expression visibly soured when he saw that flag. He didn’t want to gamble on whether the Beasts Pirates knew what was happening here or if he would face retaliation for his actions.
As a former Celestial Dragon, he had a clear understanding of the world’s forces. Whether it was an Emperor of the Sea or a Marine Admiral, they were not enemies he could face. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chased around by Tsuru.
He would rather offend a Marine Admiral than a great pirate like Kaido. With the secrets in his hands, he was confident he could make the World Government stop the Marines’ actions. But pirates were different. Those lawless people acted entirely according to their own whims.
Offending a monster like Kaido would only hasten his demise.
With a slight movement of his fingers, Doflamingo retracted the released threads.
However, looking at the flag on Robin’s shoulder, Law beside him revealed a different expression.
