Xia Qiu swam towards the island with the figure on his back. He had been in the seawater for half an hour, and his breathing was fine.
He was indeed a Fish-Man.
His strength was not weak; it was hard to shake him off when he clung to Xia Qiu.
In that case, he could only ask Robin for help.
But there was no rush.
When he was two-thirds of the way there, Xia Qiu attacked a Sea Fish, ate its flesh, and then closed his eyes to rest for a while.
Afterward, he headed for the island and swam directly toward the shore.
Boom.
Xia Qiu rushed onto the shore. Robin was on a lounge chair outside the house. Seeing Robin, Xia Qiu immediately shouted, "Robin, I have an enemy on my back."
"Enemy?"
Robin was slightly stunned and immediately raised her hands. But at that moment, a voice sounded from Xia Qiu's back, "Robin, I have no hostile intentions."
As the voice spoke, a figure leaped from Xia Qiu's back and landed some distance away.
But as soon as he landed on the ground, multiple arms grew from his body, locking his joints and controlling him.
"Finally caught you, die."
Xia Qiu charged straight forward, opening his massive maw to bite at the figure's body.
"I am from the Revolutionary Army."
Facing Xia Qiu's attack, the figure shouted loudly.
Xia Qiu's teeth stopped not far from the figure's body, and he slowly retracted.
"Revolutionary Army? Why would the Revolutionary Army be here?"
Xia Qiu slowly pulled back, looking at the other person. The figure looked very familiar: yellow skin, a tall build, wearing martial arts attire, and a strong physique. Thinking of the Revolutionary Army, Xia Qiu had a guess.
"What are you talking about?"
Robin was also stunned, looking at the figure on the ground with a confused expression. "You're from the Revolutionary Army?"
"That's right."
The figure stood there and said, "My name is Haku, from the Revolutionary Army. I was sent by the leader to find you."
It was him indeed.
Haku, a warrior of the Revolutionary Army, a Red Silk Fish-Man, skilled in karate.
He often acted in a team with Sabo and Koala, was proficient in karate, and was a good friend of Jinbe.
His strength was considerable; his straight punch could reach four thousand tons, and he also knew Fish-Man Jujutsu.
Haku could defeat an opponent with one punch in the arena, very easily.
It was a pity he encountered the brainless fan Barto and broke his own bone after hitting the other's barrier.
He was indeed a Revolutionary Army warrior.
Robin frowned and asked, "Revolutionary Army? Putting aside whether I believe you or not, I'm curious, why is the Revolutionary Army looking for me?"
Haku heard this and said, "The Revolutionary Army has been looking for you. As a survivor of Ohara, you have always been our 'light of revolution' in the eyes of the Revolutionary Army. However, we have never been able to find your exact whereabouts. This time, after you killed Crocodile and clashed with the Marines, we managed to pinpoint your location and came to find you."
"Why are you looking for me?" Robin asked, confused.
Haku said, "To help you escape the Marines' pursuit, and then invite you to join the Revolutionary Army."
"Join the Revolutionary Army?"
Xia Qiu and Robin were stunned. They exchanged a look and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
The Revolutionary Army actually wanted Robin to join. But it made sense.
In the original story, when Robin was sent flying to the Land of Bridges, a Revolutionary Army soldier said they had been looking for her and asked if she was willing to stay.
But at that time, Robin had her own companions, so she chose to refuse.
Even so, Robin still acted with the Revolutionary Army for two years.
"Ms. Robin, you are being pursued by the Marines, and the intensity of their pursuit is so great. We can help you leave and provide you with protection," Haku said sincerely. "We have collected information about you bit by bit. These past years, you have been living in the underworld, constantly on the move, living under others' roofs, and often betrayed. Join us."
Robin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Haku continued, "Ohara was destroyed. Don't you want revenge? The goal of our Revolutionary Army is to overthrow the World Government. Join us, and let us work together towards this goal."
"Revenge?"
Robin slightly parted her red lips, a hint of bewilderment appearing in her eyes.
How could she not hate the World Government? They had sent the Marines to destroy Ohara Island and kill so many people—her teacher, her mother, and her friends.
Didn't she want revenge?
But it was helpless. Let alone the World Government, the Marines who participated in the Buster Call were already incredibly powerful.
She couldn't even defeat a Vice Admiral, so how could she possibly get revenge?
However, the Revolutionary Army is different. They are powerful, organized, and their leader is incredibly strong, recognized by the World Government as the world's most vicious criminal.
While the Revolutionary Army is much weaker than the World Government, even weaker than the Marines.
But if there is one organization in this world that can overthrow the World Government, it is the Revolutionary Army.
Moreover, the Revolutionary Army's influence is vast, and they can help her obtain the Poneglyphs.
It could be said that the Revolutionary Army is her best refuge.
And now, the Revolutionary Army has extended an invitation.
Robin looked at Haku and said softly, "It's truly too difficult for the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the World Government."
"I understand."
Haku replied, "That's why we need everyone's help. Join us, Robin."
Robin looked at Haku and asked, "So how do you plan to help me leave?"
Haku said, "You have the Giant Beast, and the Marines haven't searched in this direction yet. You can have it take you to a hidden island, and then we'll find you."
Upon hearing this, Robin narrowed her eyes and asked, "But how can I trust that you are from the Revolutionary Army?"
"How to trust me?"
Haku heard this and suddenly raised his hand, striking forward.
His arm broke through Robin's restraint and stopped there after one strike.
"What are you doing?"
Robin gritted her teeth, and more arms sprouted from her body, restraining his.
Previously, she had only used six arms, and they had been somewhat loose during Haku's speech, allowing him to break free.
Now, she had twenty arms, controlling Haku.
Haku didn't exert more force but maintained his restrained posture.
Crack, crack.
At this moment, the trees behind Robin slowly snapped and then crashed to the ground.
"If I wanted to kill you, that one strike would have been enough to kill you or leave you severely injured,"
Haku said slowly. "If you died, that Giant Beast alone couldn't kill me on land."
Robin turned around and saw that a tree directly behind her had been broken. Not only that, but another tree in the distance had also fallen.
Such penetrating power was enough to kill her.
If she were killed or severely injured, Little Qiu would be no match for Haku on land.
But he hadn't done that.
Therefore, there was no need for him to make an unnecessary move, lure her out, and then capture her.
"Trust him, Robin."
Xia Qiu suddenly spoke. He knew Haku was from the Revolutionary Army. He had been a member for twelve years, from when Sabo joined at ten years old until four years later.
"A talking Giant Beast, this is the first time I've seen something like this,"
Haku said with a smile. He had noticed this earlier and was very surprised, but he kept his doubts to himself.
Robin felt relieved when she heard Little Qiu say that. She released her grip on him and said, "So, are you really from the Revolutionary Army?"
"That's right."
Haku moved his body before saying, "So, Robin, what are your plans? Are you willing to join the Revolutionary Army?"
Hearing this, Robin fell into hesitation.
Joining the Revolutionary Army meant she wouldn't have to live like this anymore and could evade the Marines' pursuit.
She would have a chance to take revenge on the World Government and could more easily obtain the Poneglyphs.
The benefits were obvious.
Controlling Baroque Works could only help her obtain the Poneglyphs, but it was no match for the strength of the Revolutionary Army.
More importantly, the pursuit over these past few days had pushed Robin to her limit.
She had developed the idea of joining the Revolutionary Army.
But she couldn't make the decision herself.
Because she didn't know if Little Qiu was willing, Robin looked at Xia Qiu, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Xia Qiu let out a sigh and said, "Robin, join the Revolutionary Army. That is where you belong."
"Little Qiu, are you willing to join the Revolutionary Army with me?"
Robin's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
Haku looked at Xia Qiu and said, "With you joining, the Revolutionary Army's strength can increase significantly."
For the Revolutionary Army, a Giant Beast that could sink a Marine warship, fight underwater, and kill a Commodore and a Captain...
Its value is immense; whether for covering a retreat or for combat, it's incredibly useful.
That's why, from the very beginning, they hoped Robin would bring the Giant Beast to join the Revolutionary Army.
But Xia Qiu said, "No, Robin will join the Revolutionary Army, but I have no intention of joining."
"Little Qiu, you..."
Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Robin froze and asked, "You mean, you want me to join the Revolutionary Army alone? Aren't you coming with me? Where are you going?"
Xia Qiu shook his head, looking at Robin, and said with reluctance, "Robin, I've enjoyed my time with you, but it's time for us to part ways."
