One Piece: Signing In as a Pirate Begins with Roger's Execution

After releasing Capone Bege and his subordinates, Karl finally entered Ohara.

At present, Capone Bege's strength was rather weak, comparable to that of Belmer.

The idea of him unifying the West Blue to maintain order here was a temporary thought from Karl.

However, it might be interesting to see just how much Capone Bege could accomplish.

"This is Ohara? The surrounding environment is quite nice, especially this ancient tree. It's really magnificent!" Karl walked down the street, taking in the refreshing surroundings and couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a wonderful place, too bad it's going to be destroyed by the Buster Call soon. What a shame."

As Karl spoke, he continued walking toward the direction of the Tree of Knowledge.

The villagers around him, upon seeing Karl, showed curiosity.

Noticing his naval uniform, they recognized him as a Marine and weren't afraid. However, the presence of the Marines made the villagers curious, and they peeked out from their homes to see what Karl was doing.

Looking at these simple villagers, Karl couldn't help but sigh again, feeling a bit melancholic.

"The time's still early. Even if they sail at full speed, it will take them three days to arrive here. In three days, I could have rescued everyone, but the key is finding a way to gather them all in one place."

Karl thought as he walked.

At that moment, he saw a young, beautiful girl running out from the side, holding a book with a bright smile on her face.

System detected Nico Robin, you can check in!

"Is this Robin as a child?" Karl thought.

But just then, Robin suddenly tripped and was about to fall.

Seeing this, Karl immediately rushed over and caught her.

"Are you okay?"

"Mm, thank you, Marine brother..." Robin nervously opened one eye and then realized she was in Karl's arms.

After steadying Robin, Karl let go and patted her head instead.

This action made Robin's face turn red as she shyly stood still.

The young Robin was not as bold and strong as the grown-up version. Right now, she was just an ordinary little girl, with no differences from others.

Karl rubbed her head and playfully asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Mm, I'm Robin, Nico Robin..." Robin shyly shrank back, avoiding Karl's hand but still sneaking glances at him. Clearly, she was attracted by Karl's handsome looks.

"Nico Robin, huh? True to your name, you're quite cute."

"Thank you, handsome Marine brother, hee hee!" Robin grinned and flashed a cute smile.

However, Karl noticed that the villagers around them looked at Robin with a bit of fear.

Sensitive Robin also noticed this, and she took a step back, clutching the unknown book to her chest.

"Marine brother, you should leave quickly. I'm not a good person..." Robin said.

"How can someone as cute as you not be a good person? And what kind of bad person admits they're bad? Are you joking with me?" Karl couldn't help but laugh at Robin's words.

Robin shook her head, activating her Devil Fruit ability and growing another arm on Karl's own.

Seeing this, the villagers, especially the children, became frightened and started calling Robin a monster.

Hearing the mockery, Robin's ability dissipated, and she began to cry, feeling hurt.

"But they all say I'm a monster, a devil..."

The pitiful little girl, teary-eyed, melted Karl's heart.

"How could you be a monster when you're this cute? This is just the power of a Devil Fruit, it's no big deal. Look at me, I have a Devil Fruit power too, and I'm still a Marine, right?"

With that, Karl demonstrated his Devil Fruit ability, causing the ground beneath them to rise into the air.

Robin was stunned by the sight, and she immediately collapsed to the ground.

The villagers and the children who had mocked Robin were also shocked.

"With your ability to grow long arms, they call you a monster? Then what would they say about my ability?"

Karl shook his head, helped Robin up, and slowly returned the land to its original position.

Robin tightly hugged her book, her expression a bit complicated.

Karl rubbed her head again, intending to ask about the scholars here and complete his check-in. But just then...

Gunshots rang out.

Karl covered his palm with Armament Haki and didn't even look before swiftly reaching out and grabbing the hot bullet in his hand.

Then Karl saw a woman in a white lab coat, holding a hunting rifle aimed at him.

"Mom?"

Seeing the striking figure of the woman, Robin was immediately moved to tears and ran up to hug her.

The check-in was interrupted, and the system voice sounded again.

System detected Nico Olvia, you can check in!

Hearing the system's voice, Karl was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected it to be Nico Olvia herself.

He had thought Olvia had already returned, but from the looks of it, she seemed to have just arrived.

Otherwise, Robin wouldn't be so emotional.

"This deviates a little from my plan, but it's fine, it won't affect much."

Karl stroked his chin and began walking toward Olvia.

But she, while holding Robin, raised the rifle and aimed it at Karl.

"Captain Carl, the great figure who defeated Shiki and Bullet, why would you appear in our little village? Has the Marine already set its sights on this place? Heh, I really am a sinner, it's me who led you demons here!"

Olvia gave a self-deprecating laugh, then moved Robin behind her and began to slowly retreat.

The surrounding villagers had no idea what was happening. They only heard the gunshot and immediately ran back into their homes. However, some bolder people peeked through the door cracks to see what was going on.

"Nico Olvia, watch your words. I know what your scholars in Ohara have done, and I sympathize with you. But the Buster Call is already on its way. If you want to keep the people of Ohara alive, you'll have to listen to me from now on!"

"Aren't you here to kill us?!"

Hearing Karl's words, Olvia froze for a moment.

Robin, standing behind her, hugged her arm and said in a soft voice.

"Mom, this Marine brother is a good person. He wasn't scared of me, and he has a power just like mine! He's a monster too!"
