However, the female assassin didn't rush to attack everyone; instead, she looked at Vivi and said with a smile:
"Vivi, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have understood our boss so easily."
Her mature charm made people feel a shiver.
"I don't know anything about what you're saying. I just want to ask you one thing: was Igaram's ship your doing??"
Princess Vivi said angrily.
"Yes, it was my doing."
The woman affirmed.
Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Princess Vivi's heart was filled with even more grief and indignation:
"Why did you do it??"
"You're the one who leaked information to us, so why are you now turning around and trying to kill us??"
"Tell me, why??"
Vivi shrieked hysterically.
Completely devoid of any princess-like demeanor.
Clearly, Igaram's death was a huge blow to her.
However, the woman clearly had no intention of answering Princess Vivi's question.
Instead, her gaze shifted to Reno, who was quietly watching the show.
"You are the Straw Hat Pirates' first mate Reno? With a bounty of 60 million Berries."
"Higher than mine."
"Let me take a good look, are these two guys something you created??"
She was naturally referring to Fire Thunder and Rapid Edge.
"Blacksmith? I've really never heard of such a profession before."
"Not building ships, but creating robots, and robots with such formidable combat power."
"Of course, just as you see."
Reno smiled faintly, noncommittally.
"For you two to have such high bounties in the East Blue, a place known as the weakest sea in that world, you've done quite well."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Reno smiled, calmly accepting the woman's praise.
"I think you're not bad either."
"The devil child, Nico Robin, with a bounty of 79 million Berries."
"A survivor of the Ohara incident."
Buzz—
When the woman heard the last sentence, she froze completely.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Seven... 79 million Berries??"
The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates focused on her bounty.
"You actually know me??"
This elegant and poised woman was none other than a future member of the Straw Hat Pirates, the devil child, Nico Robin.
Nico Robin's smile instantly froze, then slowly calmed down.
Having been on the run since she was nine years old, decades of fugitive life had long taught her to face any situation.
Reno continued:
"Back then, Admiral Sengoku, along with Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu, acted together, which once shocked the entire sea. I've heard a little about it."
"Is that so??"
When Reno mentioned the names Akainu and Aokiji, a ripple finally appeared on Robin's face.
This matter had left too great an impact deep within her, making it impossible for her to easily ignore it.
