That's the girl, no doubt about it!! Marine: Yes... we followed a lead about a "mysterious girl." She was found riding a passenger ship on an island far to the northeast of Ohara, but she was lost again soon after that... Spandine: Believe me on this one! As Ohara was going up in flames, I saw a little kid riding away on a tiny rowboat!!! I did!!! But when I tried to chase after her, my rudder was frozen for some reason...!! The lucky little devil...!! Sauro must have freed her in his final moments, I KNOW it!!! Sengoku: Any scholar who can read the Poneglyphs is extremely dangerous, even at such a young age. I don't care how you do it!!! Just find her as soon as you can, so we can put this all behind us!! - Page 190 - People: 79 million Berries?!! Robin: (hahh)(hahh) People: A child of eight, worth that much money?!! Supposedly she's one of them Ohara demons who were plotting to destroy the world...!!! You mean THE Ohara...?!! She sunk six Marine battleships! But don't ask me how! So THAT'S what the price is for... The government and Marine HQ are both chasing after her. And she's carrying on the beliefs of those scholars who were executed! We can't let her loose on the world...!!! She is a DEMON CHILD and must be stopped at once!!! - Page 191 - Robin: (hahh)(hahh) Woman: Thank you, dear, for all your help... Robin: No, thank YOU for letting me work for you! Woman: Oh, and by the way... Before we eat, you have some guests. Agents: Don't let her get away!! She's just a little kid!! Woman: Now give me my money!! I turned her in for you!!! Man: She works hard for such a little thing... Are you still awake? Work begins early tomorrow. Get some sleep. Robin: OK. Man: She's a good girl... But if we let her stay, we're endangering ourselves... - Page 192 - Men: Plus... just LOOK at this bounty... She's not in her room...!! Damn...!! The little brat was onto us!! And now she's betraying all of our kindness!!! FIND HER!!! Dog: Woof!! Woof. Robin: Dereshishishi! I'm sorry... I have no food. Captain: I've heard of you, Nico Robin. You're wanted... I can feed you, if you do odd jobs. Ohmygod... save me!! It's the Marine HQ!!! Pirates: Captain! Captain: Where's Robin?!! Hand her over to them!!! Dammit!!! This is all her fault...!! Robin!!! YOU PESTILENCE!!! - Page 193 - Robin: (hahh)(hahh) People: Your crime is being alive!!! Is Nico Robin in this town?!! Robin: I've found it... A Poneglyph. Man: Get the hell out of my store!!! I have nothing to sell to the likes of YOU!! Robin: I'm 16. I'll do anything you want. Let me join your group. (hahh)(hahh) Man: ROBIN, YOU BACKSTABBER!!! Crocodile: I could use your help. I hear you can read... Poneglyphs, is that right...? - Page 194 - Robin: If you use this Buster Call right here and now, they will blow up Enies Lobby, with all of you on it...!!! Spandam: That's crazy!! They won't blow up their own people!!! What the hell are you talking about?!! Robin: Twenty years ago... it took everything from me, and ruined the lives of many... just one single attack. The Buster Call...!!! - Page 195 - Robin: And this attack... is being leveled at my true friends, the only ones I've ever trusted in. The more I have wished I could stay with you, the more my fate has turned its fangs upon you!!! No matter how far across the sea I go, I will always have colossal enemies that can never be shaken off!!! BECAUSE MY ENEMIES ARE THE "WORLD" AND THIS "DARKNESS"!!! - Page 196 - Robin: With Aokiji... and now this...!! I have ensnared you in my life twice...!! And as kind as you all are, if this continues forever... You will eventually see me as a burden!!!! You will betray me and leave me behind!!! You WILL!! And that's what I'm most afraid of!!! ...THAT'S why I didn't want you to come after me!!! If I will die someday, then I want it to be here and now!!! Sanji: Robin-chan... Chopper: Robin. Zoro: So that's it... Spandam: Wahahahahaha!! I see... makes perfect sense!! - Page 197 - Spandam: That's exactly right!! No one would be stupid enough to carry you around and NOT get tired of you!! Wahahaha!! TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SYMBOL, PIRATES!!! THAT IS A MARK THAT SIGNIFIES A PACT BETWEEN OVER 170 NATIONS, SPANNING THE FOUR SEAS AND THE GRAND LINE...!!! THAT IS THE WORLD!!!! Do you have any idea how insignificant you are, before that?!! Do you have any idea what a great and terrible organization this woman is being chased by?!! Luffy: I know who Robin's enemy is! Soge King. Soge King: Hmm? - Page 198 - Luffy: I want you to blow up that flag. Soge King: Roger!! Spandam: Huh? Soge King: My new weapon, the giant peashooter. I call it "Kabuto."

Nami: Robin!!! - Page 203 - Robin: {Live...?!} <) was used for? by Nappe O: Those are "Pop Up Goggles"! Special ordered! He is the head cook, so of course, he uses them while cooking. It's for when he cuts the onions!! He absolutely treasures those goggles because they keep him from crying. Also, he does not use them for anything other than slicing onions!! D: Odacchi! Here's a question for you! Crocodile can't fight water because he's "sand," right? Then how does he bathe?! Does he at all?! That's filthy!! Do you bathe, Odacchi? by Crocodile's Mother O: First of all, let's discuss the problem of Devil Powered folks bathing themselves. People who eat Devil Fruit are "hated" by the sea, and cannot swim. The "sea" here can refer to anything from rivers, pools and baths to any kind of standing water. On a worldwide level, they are all the "sea." When these people enter the water, not only can they not use their powers, they have trouble moving their bodies at all. They might be able to struggle a bit, but it wouldn't do much good. That's if their entire bodies are submerged in the "sea." With less than half the body or just the limbs, it gets easier. Also, rain and dripping water have no effect at all. Therefore, hip baths or showers are the most common choice. Now, in Crocodile's case, "water" is the weakness of his very powers, so his abilities are robbed even in the shower. But it's not like there are enemies around when you take a shower, so I'd bet he would take them even with his powers being blocked. Don't you think? ---And to answer your final question, about myself bathing. As it happens, I do bathe. Twice! In a year! See you next volume! - Chapter 398 End -
