174. Skilled hunters often appear as prey(1/2)

Little Robin had a dream again. In the dream, she saw flames everywhere. In the dancing flames were people she knew well. She wanted to reach out and catch them, but in the end she found in despair that she could not catch anyone.

one person.

The scene changed and Robin saw the refuge ship again. On board was his uncle's family and other O'Hara residents. The artillery fire that scared Robin came. Countless shells fell on the refuge ship, and there was a violent explosion. The whole ship was full of people.

O'Hara resident's boat engulfed in flames.

The uncle's family looked at her with an expression that said, "All this disaster is caused by you."

Before little Robin could explain anything, their figures disappeared, and a figure emerged. It was her mother Olvia. She looked at herself and said: Robin, you must live.

"Mom!" Robin woke up suddenly.

At this time, a voice sounded not far away: "Have you had a nightmare?"

Only then did Robin realize where he was and that everything just now was just a dream.

In the dim warehouse, although it was not difficult to see, Robin still took some effort to see the person who just spoke clearly. The lieutenant general's cape was the easiest to identify.

Robin's body shrank back.

She originally thought she had escaped, but she didn't expect to be found so quickly...

"Don't be afraid. If I want to catch you, you won't be able to escape at all." Allen walked to Robin and found a bag of groceries and sat on it. "Since Savulo tried his best to protect you, Kuzan

I also let you go, and I have no reason to take you back."

Little Robin calmed down a lot. She sat with her hands on her knees and asked, "Why do you want to let me go?"

"You have done nothing wrong, why can't I let you go?" Allen asked her, and then said, "I am different from other people. I have my own standards for judging whether a person is at fault. You are age

The smallest archaeologist is true, but knowledge is not guilty, what is guilty is what the knowledge is used for.

The justice of the Navy is never static, just like the world is not black and white, or even as you see it. Maybe you think he is a good person, but in fact he may not be. Maybe you look like a vicious person, but you are very evil on the inside.

gentle.

Just like the first mate who let you take this ship, on the surface, he seems to be a good and charitable person, but in fact, who knows, he actually also plays the role of a human trafficker part-time."

"Human trafficker?"

Little Robin realized something, his face changed uncontrollably, and his breathing became rapid.

She subconsciously believed Allen, because this man, this big shot in the navy, had no need to lie to her about a child.

If it weren't for the close distance, Allen wouldn't be able to see little Robin's face clearly.

Of course, breathing does not lie. He said: "This is your first lesson when you step into society. The best way to identify a person is not to listen to what he says, but to see what he does. Everyone can say good things.

Whether you can do it or not is another matter. There is no shortage of people in this world who are sweet-talking and mean-spirited. There are too many people like this. I know you don’t believe it, but you can come with me.

Go and have a look.”

Allen stood up and stretched out his hand to little Robin.

Robin hesitated for a while, then reached out to hold it and stood up from the ground.

"Don't make any noise and follow me." Allen opened the cabin door and walked softly inside the cabin with Robin.

He led Robin to a room with ease. The hatch was ajar, and inside was the first mate Bambi and his sailor men.

Robin just stood at the door and listened for a while, then turned pale.

She covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. The emotion of fear gnawed at her soul. This was another incident of concept collapse, which seemed a bit cruel to little Robin who had just experienced the most painful thing.

In the past at O'Hara, although she was not liked by many of her peers, those who were good to her were also really good to her.

For the first time, little Robin saw that the human heart is so bottomless and elusive.

She quietly left the door, obviously silent for a long time.

After a long time, she asked Allen: "Is the world always like this, or is it just what I encountered?"

"This is always the case." Allen said, "However, when you have enough strength, you can ignore these. Even in O'Hara's case, if you have the same strength as a general, you will not be able to protect O'Hara.

La, at least you can take someone to escape with you.

The mind is armed with knowledge, and force is the prerequisite to protect oneself and be able to learn knowledge at will. With knowledge, you can understand many truths, and with force, you can make stupid people listen to your reasoning.

I know you have eaten Devil Fruit. If you use this power well, you will have enough capital to be independent."

There is a quality in Robin, and it is this quality that allows her to remain true to herself. Even though she has encountered so many misfortunes since childhood and has been in darkness, she did not fall into darkness in the end.

There is always hidden power in her heart that drives her forward. This power can be said to be brought to her by her mother, Savullo, those scholars, and others. In the final analysis, it is the function of knowledge.

An 8-year-old girl could still remain calm after all this. Allen felt that even at the age of 18, she would not be able to do this.

"Strength like a general. Knowledge arms the mind, and force protects knowledge." Little Robin murmured to himself, with a glimmer of light beginning to shine in his eyes.

This was the first time she heard these things, no one had ever told her before.

She thought of O'Hara's scholars again. If they had strong enough force, they might not end up like this.

only……

Little Robin raised his head, widened his eyes, and seemed to want to imprint Allen in his mind: "Why would you help me? And teach me these principles, shouldn't I be the enemy of the World Government and the Navy? You shouldn't

You only want to see me strong."

"Help you, maybe." Allen laughed at himself, "Actually, I prefer to call it just some self-redemption after an ordinary person's conscience is disturbed. You are the enemy of the government and the navy, but you are not necessarily my enemy——

If you don’t take the initiative to do evil in the future.”

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Robin said, "It was you who saved the refuge boat and everyone in O'Hara before. I saw it on the shore at that time. I believe you are a

Good person." When he said the word good person, little Robin was very serious.

Observe his words and actions. What Allen just said was learned and applied to Allen himself. Through the actions of this vice admiral, she decided that he was a good person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to tell himself this and just catch himself. A naval hero who had captured Roger, the Pirate King, would not waste any effort in arresting a child like her.

Allen was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that an 8-year-old girl would give him a good guy card.

"You are right to say that. Compared with many people in this world, I am not only a good person, I almost look like a saint."

"Saint? What is that?" Little Robin obviously did not understand this richly colored word.

Allen said: "Don't worry about these details, it's not important."

"Well, okay." Robin was very obedient and didn't mention it, but a new question popped up, "You will let him go, right? A little girl like me can be sold for 1 million Baileys

, he has sold other people in the past."

She had been lonely for too long, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay with that giant Lieutenant General Sauro for several days. She didn't realize that she really wanted someone to accompany her, or that she

Even if he noticed it, there would be no such opportunity.

Subconsciously, she actually wanted to stay with this man who was a navy man for a while longer.

Allen nodded: "Yes, now that I have met him, of course I will not let him go. Robin, you have to remember. Human traffickers, I mean all human traffickers, every one of them deserves to die! If you meet him in the future,

Even if you don't do it yourself, you still have to find a way to deal with them, understand?" Allen's attitude was very solemn.

In Allen's world in his previous life, people trafficked by human traffickers could still live a good life. In this world, 99.99% of people who are trafficked will not end well, so it is absolutely correct to say that human traffickers should die.

Robin also nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, I will remember it."

Seeing her well-behaved look, Allen couldn't help but gently rubbed her little head: "Are you willing to help me?"

Feeling the warmth from her palms, little Robin almost narrowed her eyes. She was very smart and reacted quickly: "I will pretend not to know anything and continue to follow him to help you find the person with whom he is trading.

"

Gee, that’s so smart. Allen sighed in his heart.

This means that Robin is too young, otherwise, he would definitely find a way to bring her to him as his adjutant, which would save him a lot of worry.

"Okay, then we've made a deal." Allen raised the palm on Robin's head.

Little Robin felt a little disappointed, but she still understood instantly. Her little palms clapped together with Allen's palms.

"Well, it's settled."

Allen's ears twitched and he said: "Someone is coming. Let me get out of here first and don't expose myself." He took a step forward and walked to the corner. A mirror appeared, and Allen walked directly in.

Snapped.

There was a soft sound, the mirror fell upside down on the floor, and Allen disappeared.

There was a sound on the cabin door, and little Robin quickly fell to the ground, his small body curled up into a ball, looking like he was falling into a deep sleep.

squeak~ah~

The hatch was opened, and a figure walked in with a dim oil lamp. He saw the small figure huddled in the corner, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

If a suitable buyer is found for such a beautiful little girl, the price will not only be doubled, but he will also be able to take the lion's share this time, which is much more than his salary on a merchant ship.

Seeing that the little girl fell into a deep sleep and didn't even notice that he had entered, Bambi didn't make any further moves for fear of waking her up, so he quietly retreated out.

The little light faded away, and the warehouse fell into darkness again. Only the eyes of little Robin lying there were shining, like the stars in the sky secretly kissing into it.
