Chapter 482: Robin and Hancock!
"So that's it, you've been infiltrating the island waiting for us!"
The intelligent Olvia immediately understood the World Government's intentions.
In the past year or two, the Marines' search and arrest efforts against them had clearly decreased several times over. Even Marine Warships sailing past would ignore them, not even bothering to board and inspect.
Although the other members of the exploration team were very happy about this, thinking the World Government had given up pursuing them, she had always felt something was fishy.
Now, she finally understood everything!
The World Government was using them to find the Poneglyphs hidden in various places in the world, and then round them all up after they returned to Ohara.
This way, it was equivalent to the World Government finding these Poneglyphs, and could then proceed with their recovery one by one later.
Thinking of this, Olvia quickly turned around and was about to run back to the ship, because the Logbook recording the sixteen Poneglyphs was still on it!
"Shave!"
But Mata instantly appeared before her, raising her proud chin and looking coldly at the anxious Olvia: "You'd better stay here obediently, otherwise I have the authority to shoot you dead directly."
Olvia's expression was extremely grim. She clenched her fists tightly, wanting to resist, but seeing the Little Girl, Robin, still holding her hand and looking over with a worried gaze, she had to suppress the impulse in her heart.
But she still glared at Mata angrily and shouted loudly: "The World has the authority regarding Knowing the Past! Humans should also be aware of Knowing the Past!"
"What exactly is the World Government afraid of?!"
"Matters like this, you can tell the Judge when the time comes."
Mata, however, shrugged dismissively at this, placing her left hand on her slender waist in a very alluring pose of great Sexiness, standing before everyone and saying with a teasing smile.
"But personally, I think whether the World has the authority regarding Knowing the Past, and whether humans should know history, should be decided by the World Government, not you Scholars."
"Since the Law has forbidden it, and you have been given multiple warnings, you should obey and go research other things. Then you wouldn't have ended up like this today~"
"Besides, what's past is past. What difference does it make whether you know it or not?"
At this moment, Doctor Clover stopped Olvia, who was about to say more, and asked with a somber expression: "Excuse me, how does the World Government plan to deal with us?"
The two Warships were getting closer and closer. He knew deeply that Ohara definitely couldn't escape this time.
Clearly.
The World Government had completely lost patience with their illegal research.
"Indeed, you need to be informed of this."
Mata, seeing that these Scholars were pitifully weak in strength and showed no signs of resistance, relaxed her guard slightly. She took out a Ladies' Cigarette and put it in her mouth.
After she took out a lighter, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke, she continued to chuckle: "First, all you Scholars must undergo trial and sentencing at Enies Lobby."
"As for whether you'll be held in a regular Prison or escorted to Impel Down, that's not Understandable yet."
Doctor Clover wasn't surprised by this, but he was more concerned about the Residents on the Island now.
"What about these Civilians of Ohara?"
Mata glanced at the Citizens whose faces showed nervousness and Fear, and said casually: "They committed the crime of harboring criminals and will be sent to a certain Project Zone as Laborers."
If it were before, she could have been sure they'd go to the East Blue to build the Great Bridge, but now she didn't know. The World Government had simply started many large Projects recently.
"Ah?"
"How could this happen..."
As expected, the Residents of Ohara, upon hearing this, their Expression turned pale. Some even collapsed onto the Ground in Despair. Among them, a young man who couldn't accept this outcome shouted in Despair: "We clearly didn't do anything!"
"Heh heh."
Mata continued to enjoy her Cigarette disdainfully, not bothering to answer such foolish words at all.
"What about the Children?"
Doctor Clover asked again through gritted teeth. As soon as he said this, Olvia's expression, which had been full of Anger, was quickly replaced by nervousness and worry.
"Except for this Little Girl, the other Children will go to the Project Zone with their parents. When they grow up, they will automatically become Laborers~" Mata said with a smile, holding the slender Cigarette between two fingers.
"Isn't that great? Not only are food and lodging provided, but they also don't have to worry about finding work. More importantly, they can inherit their parents' 'business'~"
"..."
The Residents of Ohara were completely filled with Despair upon hearing this. Some even hugged their Children beside them and started crying.
They regretted it.
They began to regret not stopping these Scholars from researching that 'blank history'. Now look, their Children's Future was ruined by themselves!
At the same time, many Scholars and Citizens started cursing at Mata, even cursing the World Government for being cold, cruel, and excessive.
But Mata was completely unaffected.
"Except for Robin?"
Olvia immediately pulled her daughter behind her and asked vigilantly with a hateful voice: "What are you going to do to my daughter!"
"Don't worry, it's a good Matter. The Higher-ups think this Girl is a Genius and also an Ability User, so they want to send her to the School in Marineford."
Mata looked at Robin, who was showing half of her Little Girl's face and looking at her timidly, and showed a gentle smile, saying: "Actually, I think with her Devil Fruit Ability, she's more suitable to accompany and training with my daughter."
"What?"
Olvia and Doctor Clover were in disbelief. Immediately after, they heard Mata smiling at Little Girl Robin.
"You must do well at the School, okay? I heard that if you get good grades, or if you make Merit for the World Government in the Future, it's possible to get your Mama's sentence reduced~"
Little Girl Robin blinked after hearing this. Although she didn't say a word, she kept these words in her Heart.
Not long after.
The two large Warships finally arrived near the Dock. Teams of Marine Soldiers, led by several Marine Officers, began forcibly escorting the crying Citizens onto the Deck, and then successively locked them into the Prison Cells inside the cabins.
The number of Residents on Ohara Island was only a few thousand. Two Headquarters-level Marine Warships were enough to hold them.
But just as Doctor Clover was being handcuffed and was about to be taken away by two Marine Soldiers, he quickly shouted loudly: "What about the 'Tree of Knowledge'? What about the Books in the library inside!"
However, Mata ignored him this time. Holding the unexpectedly calm Little Girl Robin's hand, she walked towards the other Warship.
"What is that!"
"Good heavens, am I dreaming?"
"The Island, our Island!"
However, after the two Warships sailed away from the Island again, everyone on the Warships saw that the entire 'Ohara' first trembled violently, and then it actually floated into the air out of nowhere, and slowly flew away in the Direction of Reverse Mountain.
This scene left people dumbfounded, as if they had witnessed a Miracle.
Three days later.
Red Line, Area RL1550.
This place belonged to the Supreme Military Command, and was also the office location for the Command Department, Staff Department, and Military and Political Department.
However, recently a campus that had just been built not long ago was added here. It basically divided the land area of the entire Zone equally, with various teaching buildings, Sword Dao halls, Training Grounds, Cafeterias, Shooting ranges, and other facilities readily available.
Its Full Name was the 'World Government War Military Academy', and it was divided into three branch campuses: 'Primary School', 'Middle School', and 'University'.
Nico Robin, who had changed into a light blue school uniform Skirt, walked along the Corridors of a building within one of the primary School campuses, led by a female Lieutenant Colonel wearing a Coat of Justice.
Robin's Expression was very calm, and she obediently followed behind.
She didn't seem at all like the Little Girl who had experienced the Plight of her Mother being sentenced to thirty years in Enies Lobby Prison just a few days ago.
"Go in. Class 3-Rank A. This will be your class from now on."
Hearing the words of this female Lieutenant Colonel belonging to the Military and Political Department, Robin looked at the closed white sliding door before her and nodded, then pulled it open and walked in.
Instantly.
She received the Gaze of all her classmates and the female Teacher also wearing a Coat of Justice. Then she walked to the side of the podium and faced these peers of similar age to herself.
"My name is Nico Robin. I am eight years old this year and I am from Ohara in the West Blue. I am a Paramecia System Hana Hana no Mi Fruit Ability User. Please take care of me."
The classroom first fell into a moment of silence. Immediately after, a Girl with long black hair, skin like cream, and a bright and moving appearance Stand Up, raised her chin, and replied very proudly.
"I am Boa Hancock, from the Amazon Lily Kingdom. I am nine years old this year, and I am also an Ability User. Furthermore, I am the class monitor here. From now on, you must listen to me!"
