Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

When Rayleigh was young, he followed Roger all over the world. As for the historical text, this guy must know where to find it. Lin Mo was relieved to let him find it.

Anyway, Lin Mo has decided to take Luffy's boat, so he can't waste Rayleigh's working time and must make the best use of it.

Although Lei Li was curious as to why Lin Mo was looking for the historical text, he compromised without thinking too much: "Okay, I'll try my best to look for it, but I can't guarantee that I can find a few pieces. I will bring what I found in four months."

The text of history comes to this island.”

After the two agreed, Reilly set off the next day.

Lin Mo stayed on Gaya Island for a few more days and enjoyed a few quiet days. Then he asked Kulik for a small boat and planned to go around the Grand Route by himself before Luffy and his party came here.

Ask about the historical text.

Just half a month after he left Gaya Island, Lin Mo was sitting alone on a small boat, fishing leisurely.

Suddenly, a coffin-shaped ship, with candles emitting bright green light on both sides, appeared in Lin Mo's sight.

There was a man sitting on the coffin boat, it was the swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk who had had several contacts with Lin Mo.

When Lin Mo discovered Mihawk, Mihawk also discovered him.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, until Hawkeye's coffin ship got closer and closer, and Hawkeye was about to say something.

Lin Mo replied directly: "There is still one year."

After another moment of silence, Hawkeye asked: "Alone?"

Lin Mo said calmly: "Well, I'm separated from them for the time being."

"Oh." Hawkeye responded casually and was about to leave.

Lin Mo suddenly spoke again: "Are you very free now?"

Hawkeye looked at him again and continued: "One year in advance, I have no objection."

"No." Lin Mo changed the subject and continued, "If you are free, go to the East China Sea."

If we follow the normal plot, Luffy would have gone to sea at this point, and Hawkeye would have leisurely chased him all the way to the East China Sea because of a pirate named Creek, and then met Luffy at a restaurant on the sea.

and Zoro.

However... this pirate named Creek was killed by Lin Mo when he set out from the East China Sea...

Therefore, without Creek, Hawkeye would not be able to go to the East China Sea, nor would he be able to meet Sauron.

Although it was a bit unnecessary, Lin Mo didn't know if Hawkeye would encounter them even if he really went to the East China Sea, but after thinking about it, he still thought it would be better to let Hawkeye go.

When Kuina got on the ship, she mentioned Sauron, and she and Sauron were separated in the East China Sea.

Kuina actually thinks that Sauron should have entered the Grand Line long ago.

But Lin Mo didn't think so. With Sauron's level of road madness, it might be difficult for him to successfully enter the Grand Route by himself.

Therefore, under the current situation, it is very likely that Zoro will board Luffy's ship.

Eagle Eye didn't understand Lin Mo's intention: "Go to the East China Sea? Why?"

Lin Mo said calmly: "There will be unexpected gains."

After all, Guina has already boarded his ship. As for Sauron, Lin Mo doesn't want him to fall behind too far. It is also a good thing for him to meet masters early and let him see how big the world is.

Eagle Eyes stared silently into Lin Mo's eyes.

Lin Mo stared back at him without any timidity.

After a long time, Eagle Eye spoke again: "Okay, then I will trust you for now and I will go to the East China Sea."

Lin Mo nodded lightly and said nothing more.

There was not much communication between the two, so they separated as soon as they met each other.

Anyway, Lin Mo has said what needs to be said, what the future direction of this world will be, it has nothing to do with him.

Another two months passed.

Lin Mo was drinking wine in a tavern on a small island.

Suddenly, a drinker rushed in from outside excitedly: "Excuse me, have you heard, something big happened in Alabasta!"

"A big thing? How big a thing? Can it be bigger than us drinking? Hahaha."

"Alabasta is a superpower, what can happen? Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right. Looking at your startled look, could it be that some important person in that place died?"

The drinkers were laughing and talking while drinking.

The drinker who came to report the news shouted dissatisfied: "Aren't you even interested in the gossip? Really, not many people died, but Crocodile was defeated by a pirate who just went to sea! Listen!

Said the pirate was only a teenager, still a child!"

When he said this, the originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet.

Then, there was a lot of doubt.

"Are you kidding? How could a man as powerful as Crocodile be defeated by a young boy who goes to sea? Your gossip must be false."

"It's boring. You can tell it's fake gossip as soon as you hear it. Don't use it to fool us."

"It's better to drink. Come on, let's have a toast~"

Seeing that no one believed it, the drinker became a little anxious: "Don't believe me, what I said is true. Believe it or not, that kid will be published in the newspaper in the next two days!"

Lin Mo drank down half of the remaining drink in the glass in his hand, then put the money on the bar, stood up, and quietly left the noisy bar.

It's time to go back to Gaya Island.

Lin Mo was extremely convinced that the boy who defeated Crocodile as the man just said was Luffy.

According to Luffy's movement trajectory, they will go to Gaya Island soon, and maybe he will meet them on the way.

Lin Mo originally thought that even if he met him on the road, it would only be ten days and a half months later.

Unexpectedly, fate arranged that when he left the island and returned to Gaya Island, only two days later, he saw a ship not far away with a sheep's head logo on the bow and on the sail.

A light rail sailboat with a skull and crossbones logo on a straw hat.

At the same time.

Aboard the Golden Merli.

Luffy and his group had just left Alabasta not long ago.

Because of Robin's sudden appearance, Nami and others were shocked.

Robin wants to stay on the Merry, Luffy agrees, but Nami disagrees.

So, now, a man named Usopp wearing sniper goggles, a light brown turban, a long nose, and brown loose overalls is interrogating Robin.

"Answer my question honestly." Usopp asked seriously, "I'll ask again, what's your name?"

As soon as he finished asking, Usopp immediately changed his attitude and suddenly said politely: "Well, my name is Usopp. Please give me your advice."

Robin answered calmly: "My name is Nico Robin."

Usopp muttered: "Very well, Nico Robin, what is your profession?"

Robin continued: "Archaeologist."

Usopp was surprised and said: "Archaeologist?"

Robin smiled and said: "The family I was born in has been like this for generations."

Usopp scratched his head and continued: "Oh, I see, such a family background...and then what?"

Robin continued to smile and said: "I became an archaeologist and was wanted by the world government when I was eight years old. For the next twenty years, I have been living in hiding."

Usopp asked seriously: "You were wanted at the age of eight. Have you always been alone?"

Robin said disapprovingly: "Although I said that, a child cannot survive at sea. Therefore, in order to protect myself and as a means to achieve my own goals, I have chosen to deal with various evil people so far. That's it."

Same thing."
