Man in Pirates: Robin is my cousin? Chapter 055

Back at the villa, Ranpo placed Ginny and her daughter on the sofa and had a servant bring them two suitable outfits.

“Can you move? Go ahead and change your clothes.”

Ranpo handed the clothes to Ginny. Seeing her nod blankly, he turned and walked out of the room.

Leaning against the door, Ranpo took a cigar from his system and lit it.

This was a reward he had received from Smoker.

He didn’t have a smoking habit in this life, but at this moment, he needed to light one to calm himself down.

Having spent so much time with the agents and soldiers below, he had almost forgotten the true nature of the World Government.

The World Government ultimately served the Celestial Dragons…

Indeed, he was only suited to be a double-crosser, always ready to run!

“I’m changed.”

The door opened from the inside, and Ginny emerged, holding Bonney, both now in new clothes.

Ginny looked at Ranpo, a glimmer of longing in her eyes, hoping he could be their hope of escaping hell.

Ranpo looked at Ginny. Her face, neck, and exposed arms had many bruises, but fortunately, they hadn’t spread, remaining as small patches.

He remembered that this condition couldn’t be exposed to sunlight, or it would rapidly spread and worsen the symptoms.

It was truly a terminal illness.

Only Vegapunk could probably save her.

“You’re Ginny, right? The former East Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army.”

Ranpo had a strong impression of this part of the plot.

Ginny was visibly stunned. She was with the Revolutionary Army; that information was easy enough to inquire about. But she had been captured not long after becoming the East Army Commander, so outsiders shouldn’t know about it.

“You… you know me?”

“Not exactly. I just pay more attention to the Revolutionary Army.” Ranpo casually made up an excuse.

“The Revolutionary Army knows you were captured. Why didn’t they send someone to rescue you?”

With the security of the Red Line, Tiger could stroll around and release a large group of slaves.

Even if Mariejois’s security was much stronger, there should still be many capable individuals in the Revolutionary Army who could infiltrate.

After all, even Blackbeard Teach’s captain could enter the World Council chamber undetected.

“I don’t know, but I understand they must have their own plans. Perhaps… they came, but just didn’t find an opportunity.”

Ginny was very aware of the Revolutionary Army’s strength. Compared to the World Government, the current Revolutionary Army was too weak and could only survive in the shadows. Once exposed, they could very likely be uprooted.

“Forget it, I’m not interested in that either.” Ranpo waved his hand, telling her not to explain further.

“You must have guessed my identity by now.”

Hearing this, Ginny pondered for a moment, “You… are a member of the God’s Knights?”

Young, powerful, even the Five Elders gave him face, much like the people from God Valley years ago, but without that arrogance that viewed commoners as ants.

“You guessed right. And I’m not a Celestial Dragon, so you don’t need to be wary of me.”

He could sense from Ginny’s demeanor that she had been maintaining her guard against him.

“If I wanted to do anything to you, you’d be powerless to resist.”

“The sorrow of the weak… I suppose so. Regardless, I must thank you. At least you got us out of that living hell.” Ginny’s eyes dimmed, a resigned self-mockery.

But this was good too. At least her daughter’s life was saved.

She looked at Bonney in her arms with gentle eyes. Even if she became a slave again, she would make sure Bonney grew up healthy.

“Don’t be so sad. I don’t intend to do anything to you. I’ll send someone to escort you away… No, I’ll personally escort you away.”

Ranpo thought for a moment and decided it would be safer to go himself.

It was time to make contact with the Revolutionary Army. Ginny and her daughter were a good entry point.

He would make the Revolutionary Army owe him a big favor.

“You… you’re serious? You’re really willing to let us go?”

Ginny immediately became excited. Did they still have a chance to leave this place? Could she still see Kuma and her sister?

Along with her excitement, her heart was also filled with apprehension. How should she face Kuma and everyone else?

In her current disheveled state…

“Let’s depart tomorrow. I don’t have anything else to do anyway.”

Having made up his mind, Ranpo arranged everything, regardless of Ginny’s thoughts.

This matter could not be delayed!

He couldn’t save them for nothing; wouldn’t that be a loss?

He had left a bad impression on Saturn this time. If Saturn tried to make things difficult for him, that would be truly annoying.

Although the Five Elders couldn’t directly command the God’s Knights, strictly speaking, the Five Elders’ position was slightly higher than that of the God’s Knights.

As the saying goes, a higher rank can crush a person. Even if Saturn couldn’t crush him, he could certainly annoy him a couple of times.

Under Ranpo’s arrangements, they left the Red Line early the next morning and entered the Grand Line, searching for the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo.

Three days passed. Only after they were far from the Red Line did Ginny reluctantly believe that Ranpo truly intended to help them.

“Mr. Belial, you’re not trying to find the Revolutionary Army headquarters through me and then wipe them out, are you?”

A bold guess popped into Ginny’s mind.

Having seen the ugliness of human nature, Ginny found it hard to believe that someone would help them for no reason. But Kuma’s existence proved that such people did exist!

“Heh, do you think I can wipe out the Revolutionary Army by myself?”

He didn’t have that much confidence to single-handedly take on the entire Revolutionary Army.

Fighting Kaido one-on-one was possible, but fighting the entire Beast Pirates alone was a pipe dream, at least for now.

Hiss—

Thinking about it this way, he really should seriously consider whether to cultivate his own faction.

Relying solely on himself, if he ever fell out with the World Government in the future, he would be at a significant disadvantage.

A small favor might not be enough.

“Alright, I overthought it. I’m sorry.” Ginny pouted apologetically, gazing at the boundless sea, her thoughts drifting far away, feeling as if it were all a dream.

“Eeya eeya…”

Bonney woke up, her big eyes curiously surveying her surroundings.

Looking at Ranpo, she reached out, grabbing at the air, wanting to catch him, babbling “eeya eeya” from her mouth.

“Bonney seems to really like you, Mr. Belial.”

Ranpo took Bonney and lifted her above his head. “I’m her savior. How could she not like me?”

What a cute little fellow, just a tragic fate.

“Eeya eeya…”

Bonney clapped her hands happily. Life force was truly tenacious.

“Mr. Belial, why don’t you let Bonney recognize you as her godfather? You see how much she likes you, and… and she has your bloodline in her body,” Ginny suddenly said.

She felt that Ranpo was a remarkable individual, joining the God’s Knights at such a young age as a commoner.

Such a person was a background in itself. She needed to ensure Bonney had a safe living environment; she needed both strength and background.

Neither the Revolutionary Army nor Kuma could necessarily guarantee Bonney’s healthy growth, but Ranpo was different. He was with the World Government.

Ranpo glanced at Ginny, instantly seeing through her thoughts.

“The little one is indeed cute. Adopting her as my goddaughter isn’t out of the question.”

Who told me I was such a good person?

However, this would put Kuma in a much greater debt to him…
