Conquering Robin
Ryōsuke looked at Queen the Plague and gave his orders.
"Queen, distribute a quarter of the treasure in the Shogun's Palace to the army. Treat it as a bonus to reward them."
"Also, distribute half of the food in the storehouses to the people of Wano Country who cannot afford to eat."
"After all, from now on, this is the territory of our Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets. I do not want to see any tragic situations like people starving to death on my land. Do you understand?"
Queen the Plague hurriedly replied.
"Yes, My Lord."
Judging from their time together, this lord was not as ruthless and evil as Lord Kaido.
He even had a bit of kindness in his heart.
However, that didn't matter; in fact, a boss like this was much easier to get along with.
Even if this lord wasn't a ruthless person, no one could possibly defy him.
This was especially true after witnessing that earth-shattering technique of his.
Queen even felt that this man was no mere mortal.
Ryōsuke continued his instructions.
"In a few days, I will be entering a political marriage with Kozuki Hiyori."
"Temporarily shut down all the factories on the island. We will reopen them only after the pollution issues have been properly addressed."
"Understood?"
Queen the Plague hastily said.
"My Lord, that might not be a good idea. If the factories stop working, we won't be able to deliver the weapons and Seastone promised to the World Government and other factions."
Ryōsuke smiled and said.
"Just do as I say. Why would I need to answer to them?"
Queen finally remembered that this lord really didn't need to answer to the World Government. If he didn't want to give them Seastone or weapons, he simply wouldn't.
"My Lord, I'll get it done right away."
Kozuki Hiyori felt a surge of joy in her heart.
*This man is truly doing things for the sake of Wano Country.*
She knew all too well how the toxic wastewater had polluted the nation's land and poisoned the commoners of Wano.
This lord's actions were, without a doubt, saving the country.
Now, she was completely willing to bear his children.
Meanwhile, Robin found herself in a dilemma. *This man is actually saving the country.*
*Is there still any need for our Straw Hat crew to make enemies out of this lord and Kaido?*
*But now isn't the time to worry about that.*
*I can barely even protect myself right now.*
When night fell.
X Drake once again dialed Koby's number.
Koby was overjoyed, not expecting his senior Drake to call again, and quickly answered.
"Senior Drake, what exactly happened before? When the higher-ups heard about it, they immediately dispatched people to Wano Country to investigate."
Hearing this, Drake spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm calling again to warn the Marines. Do not come into conflict with this lord in the future. This man is like a god."
"He could probably level the new Marine Headquarters with a single strike."
"He is simply not someone the Marines can contend with."
"That's all I have to say."
With that, he hung up the phone.
He had no choice.
As a former Marine, he naturally didn't want to see all his comrades die.
Although this lord wouldn't necessarily do something so ruthless, he still had to give them a warning.
He was just afraid the Marines would court death by opposing this lord.
Now, he was even more determined to follow this lord.
After all, the lord's combat prowess was truly terrifying.
He had the power to drag the world's most wicked Celestial Dragons down from their high horses.
Koby, however, was left with a look of sheer astonishment.
Drake had just said that this lord could level the new Marine Headquarters with a single blast.
He couldn't fathom it. Just what was going on?
But he had to contact his superiors immediately.
His superior was naturally the former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, even though he had long since retired.
Later that night, Ryōsuke naturally called Robin to his room.
Having a child with Robin sooner rather than later would save him the trouble of her constantly thinking about escaping.
Having seen the original plot, he knew that Robin's bond with the Straw Hat Pirates was incredibly deep.
After all, wandering alone out in the world, Robin inevitably had to deal with people harboring ulterior motives and was constantly used by others. Only the Straw Hat crew genuinely treated her as a comrade.
It was impossible for their feelings not to be profound.
But Ryōsuke didn't care.
He believed his methods could conquer both Robin's body and her heart.
In the future, she would naturally belong to him.
Robin, on the other hand, was extremely anxious. *Is this lord really going to make me bear his child now?*
Her heart fluttered slightly; she had never been this intimate with anyone before.
Having a child required the most intimate of interactions, an exchange akin to the intertwining of souls.
Ryōsuke wore a smile on his face.
Although the Robin before him was the pale-skinned version, it was fine; she had her own unique charm.
"Robin of the Straw Hat Pirates, it's time to fulfill your end of the bargain. Should I show you the Poneglyph first, or should we make a baby first?"
Robin was truly panicking now. *I really can't escape this time. I'm actually going to have this man's child.*
Even if she asked to see the Poneglyph first, she felt that he would indeed show it to her, but she would still have to bear his child afterward.
Even she didn't have the slightest ability to escape from this man's grasp, so she harbored no thoughts of resistance.
*To think this man actually knows my true identity.*
Unfortunately, this lord had even assimilated the Beast Pirates.
It was even more impossible for him to show any face to the Straw Hat Pirates.
She also thought of a crucial question.
"Since My Lord knows my identity, you should also know that the Kozuki clan has another male heir, right?"
"Will My Lord allow him to inherit the title of Shogun of Wano Country?"
Even though she already knew the answer, she asked anyway.
After all, this was what the Straw Hat Pirates had promised Kozuki Momonosuke.
Ryōsuke smiled and said.
"I am naturally aware of what you're talking about, but do you really think I would hand a country over to someone else?"
"Furthermore, by entering a political marriage with Kozuki Hiyori, do I not possess the right to inherit this country?"
"Alright, it's getting late. It's time we get started on making that baby."
Robin felt a bit helpless in her heart. *It's exactly as I thought.*
Now it was her turn to face the music.
She could only say,
"My Lord, please be gentle with me."
Although her constitution was stronger than Nami's, facing the man before her, she could feel her body trembling.
"Alright."
Ryōsuke agreed.
The night passed in silence.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Robin finally woke up.
She couldn't help but touch her pale, flat stomach.
*Could I really be pregnant now?*
*There's a very high chance I am. I didn't expect him to be so fierce.*
*And I feel like that was even with him holding back.*
Now, she felt that having a child with this lord wasn't so bad after all.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before.
*It's just that, now that I've become his Fourth Imperial Consort, how am I supposed to face my Straw Hat comrades?*
