I agreed to win with Roger, but the guy I met was too young Chapter 088

“Officer Spandine!” The Marines rushed forward.

Rhett released his Conqueror’s Haki, and everyone fell into an infantile sleep.

He turned to the people in the house and said, “Run. This is your final reward for teaching Perona how to read.”

Robin ignored the fallen Spandine, her gaze fixed on her mother.

Years of grievance, anger, and confusion erupted at this moment: “Why… why didn’t you care about me all these years? Do you know what I’ve been through?!”

Olvia’s tears rolled down. She wanted to reach out and touch Robin, but timidly pulled back. “I’m sorry… Robin, I truly… truly am sorry.”

Robin’s chest heaved violently. She wanted to question more, wanted to vent all her pain.

But at that moment, she suddenly remembered—Saul was still behind! Her friend might be in danger, and she had to warn him.

“Saul…” Robin gritted her teeth, took one last deep look at her mother, and turned to run towards the back of the Tree of Knowledge. Olvia reached out, seemingly wanting to hold her back, but ultimately her hand fell powerlessly.

“I know you are Mr. Rhett. Mr. Dragon told me your thoughts are above ours. Mr. Rhett, please save my child.” Olvia knelt before Rhett.

“Don’t you think it’s strange to ask for help right after your daughter ran away?”

“I infiltrated the World Government and memorized a large number of unknown secrets, including various plans the World Government is carrying out or will carry out against the Revolutionary Army.

Because the World Government is hunting me, I didn’t have time to write these down. Before I can send the message back to the Revolutionary Army, I cannot die. I am not a qualified mother, please, Mr. Rhett.”

Rhett looked at Olvia. His opinion of the Revolutionary Army founded by Dragon had changed. If all their fighters were like this, perhaps they could truly succeed.

“Olvia, you are not a qualified mother, but you are a qualified revolutionary fighter.

I will save Robin. As for whether you can escape, that’s up to your own ability.”

Rhett slowly walked out the door. Olvia knelt and watched Rhett leave. This was probably all a powerless mother could do for her daughter.

Stepping out, Rhett used Geppo and sped towards the back mountain. Hehehehe, Kuzan, I’m coming!

The cold wind howled, and frozen earth spread.

Saul’s massive body stood before Aokiji, his breath condensing into white mist in the frigid air, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

This must be the scene where Saul delayed Aokiji to buy Robin time to escape.

“Kuzan! Do you really believe in such ‘justice’?!” Saul’s emotions were a bit agitated. “The scholars of Ohara just wanted to explore the truth of history, what did they do wrong?!”

Rhett, munching on popcorn: The problems are huge.

Aokiji had his hands in his pockets, his expression hiding a flicker of wavering. He frowned slightly, and frost silently spread beneath his feet.

“Saul, you and I both know… you are a Marine, upholding justice.”

“Then should we just watch innocent people be slaughtered?!” Saul roared. “Kuzan, you are also a passionate warrior! Are you still yourself now?!”

Aokiji was silent.

Just then, a dark figure descended from the sky. Rhett landed steadily using Geppo, a playful smile on his lips.

“Yo, little Kuzan, long time no see. What’s wrong? Why aren’t you passionate anymore? Ignite that flame!”

Aokiji glanced at him. He had sensed it when Rhett released his Conqueror’s Haki earlier, and his eyes filled with excitement.

It seemed he might not have to fall into this self-reproachful situation: “Rhett… are you going to interfere in this too?”

“I’m just passing by, enjoying the show.” Rhett shrugged, but his gaze swept towards Saul. “However, Saul is right—your current ‘justice,’ even you don’t believe it anymore, do you?”

Aokiji’s frown deepened.

Rhett slowly walked beside Saul, patted his leg (because he couldn’t reach his shoulder), and chuckled, “Saul, do you know? This guy Kuzan actually knows better than anyone, and he’s suppressed so many people with that ‘justice’ behind him.”

Aokiji’s fingertips trembled slightly, and ice crystals condensed in his palm.

“Shut up, Rhett.”

“What, did I hit a nerve, and now you’re lashing out?” Rhett grinned.

Evolve, Kuzan!

“Kuzan, you clearly felt this was wrong, but you chose to stand by. You clearly could have saved the people of Ohara, but you chose to ‘obey orders’.”

“Is this your ‘burning justice’? Or… are you just afraid to admit your weakness? Oh-yo-yo-yo, Kuzan, are you even capable?”

Rhett: My glib tongue isn’t bad, is it? I’m a keyboard warrior, after all.

Aokiji’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Saul seized the opportunity and said in a deep voice, “Kuzan! If you still consider me a friend, please let Robin go! She’s just a child! She’s just a child who loves to read and was isolated by others.”

Aokiji’s breathing quickened slightly, and frost surged around him. He slowly raised his hand, and a cold light gathered in his palm.

“…Enough.”

In an instant, extreme cold erupted!

“Ice Age!”

Although Saul was frozen, his expression remained firm in his last moment.

Rhett took a few steps back and clicked his tongue: “As expected, he’s frozen solid…”

Aokiji slowly lowered his hand, looking at the frozen Saul with complex eyes.

“Rhett, are you going to fight me?”

Rhett chuckled slyly: “Little Kuzan, let me guess, you really want to fight me right now, so you don’t have to make a choice, right? But I don’t want to fight you. Go fulfill your mission, I won’t stop you.”

The passionate Aokiji was still too high-maintenance; he needed something more laid-back.

Aokiji didn’t answer, simply leaving in the opposite direction from Robin. He knew he couldn’t stop Rhett alone.

Rhett watched his retreating figure, muttering to himself, “Wavering justice will eventually collapse, Kuzan.”

He looked up at the Tree of Knowledge in the distance, flames already reaching the sky.

“Time to find that girl…”

The Buster Call’s cannonballs exploded in Ohara’s harbor, flames soaring into the sky.

The Nirvana had already sailed away from the shore. Rhett stood at the stern, while Enel at the bow unleashed a torrent of electricity, pulverizing all incoming cannonball fragments.

Perona hugged Robin tightly, comforting her. Robin’s eyes were blurred with tears, fixed on the gradually receding Ohara, a suppressed sob escaping her throat.

“Lord Rhett… those scholar uncles…” Perona’s voice was as faint as a mosquito.

Rhett was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, reaching out to ruffle her hair: “I couldn’t save them.”

His voice was low, but no longer cold. “Two Marine Admirals, ten top-tier warships, plus CP 9 elites… I couldn’t protect them.”

Rhett: For this matter, fighting the Marines to the death isn’t worth it.

Moria’s shadow writhed restlessly on the deck, letting out a sinister laugh: “Fufufufu… that woman named Olvia…”

Robin suddenly broke free from Perona’s embrace, her eyes red behind her glasses: “You’re clearly so strong! Why—”

Rhett didn’t interrupt her roughly as he had before. Instead, he crouched down, meeting her gaze.

“Robin.” His voice was uncharacteristically gentle. “If I rushed back now, what do you think would happen?”

Robin bit her lip, not answering.
