Chapter 79: Ryuunosuke—That's My Big Brother!
Once a kingdom of immense power, now reduced to this... all because of a Shichibukai.
Time really is something else.
It can take the weak and make them strong, and it can crush the mighty until they crumble.
"Hawkins, let's go. We've got company," Ryuunosuke said calmly as he stepped out of the corridor, with Hawkins following.
They exited through another path, and before long, a lone figure stood waiting in the desert ahead of them.
Even with dusk creeping in, the remaining light was enough to clearly make out the silhouette.
"The person we're looking for... Nico Robin, right?" Ryuunosuke said with a slight grin.
Nico Robin walked up to meet them.
"Captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates—Ryuunosuke," she said, her tone cautious. "And... Basil Hawkins. Former captain of the Hawkins Pirates, now one of your crew."
"I assume your appearance in Alabasta isn't just for sightseeing. What exactly are you investigating?" she asked, getting straight to the point.
