I'm Not Interested in Devil Fruits

(Translator- This was a big Chapter So I am dividing it into 2 parts. This kind of division will only happen if there are any chapters as large as this )

''Chapter Head Serialization・Big News 27・…''

''Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago.'' Hawk Eyes slashed through dozens of pirates with one strike, his Black Blade "Yoru" sweeping sideways, catching a falling newspaper effortlessly, the paper completely undamaged…

---

''Rusukaina Island.'' 

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived. 

Deep in the dense jungle, the roars of beasts can be heard. 

Whiz, Whiz. 

A petite black shadow darted through the forest. 

Robin, almost 11, looked not much different, except her hair was shorter, she was a bit taller, her complexion was rosier, and her demeanor more composed compared to three years ago. 

"Roar~!" 

A beast with the body of a pig and the ferocity of a bear lunged at her, its claws sharp. 

Robin seemed to have eyes at the back of her head, lightly leaping forward, her arms extending from the flowering branches of a tree ahead, catching her and swinging her to the other side. 

Bang! The pig-headed bear monster clawed the tree in half, glaring wickedly at Robin, pounding its solid chest, roaring loudly. 

... 

When spring flowers bloom, a mass of ominous clouds rose from Rusukaina Island. 

Liam wrapped the little beauty Robin and flew over the Calm Belt sea, heading straight for Amazon Lily Island. 

After crossing the long-missed surrounding woods, Liam and Robin landed atop the towering city wall. 

Liam peered into the city. 

Robin said, "It seems Hancock and the others haven't returned yet." 

... 

Feathers of snow fell thickly, blanketing the woods of Rusukaina Island in silver. 

Robin lightly jumped to a higher point, shaking off a mass of snow from the treetops. 

Her emerald-green pupils moved left and right, using Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) borrowed from her pitch-black armor, she quickly identified the number of beasts approaching from all directions. 

This wasn't due to her proficiency improving, 

But rather Liam had trained Kenbunshoku Haki, copied it to B.I.B., which Robin was now using. 

One, two… a total of seven? 

From all directions, wild boars and gray bears, drawn in by the pig-headed bear monster, came rushing, their roars merging into a terrifying sound. 

Robin jumped high, crossing her arms, and chanted, "Seven Wheel Flower・Armament—"

... 

Under the starry night, with flowers nearby and bird songs in the distance, the sea shimmered on the horizon. 

Around the giant white carrot tree inscribed with "Destiny is a sleeping slave—Giant's Charge," Liam and Robin lay side by side with round bellies, chatting casually while digesting their food…

... 

Under the blazing sun, a group of beastified shadows pounced. 

Suddenly, a girl's arm grew from each of them, each fist tightly clenched, entwined with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and they struck their vital points without mercy.

The beasts howled in agony. 

With a thought, Robin summoned, "Fourteen Wheel Flower—" 

The palms of the seven arms on the seven beasts blossomed anew, and it was as if seven long snakes spewed Busoshoku Haki as they viciously bit down.

... 

In Amazon Lily Island, the seasons were like spring, but today was somewhat unsettled. 

It seemed strange animals had invaded the city, with many women noticing that food, fruit wine, fabric, needles, and other household items had mysteriously gone missing. 

"Bloop, Bloop…" 

The Den Den Mushi, seamlessly integrated with the environment, wandered through the white legs, slipping away unnoticed. 

"You seem to have grown taller."

At the entrance of Kuja City, Liam, having jumped out of the Den Den Mushi City fortress, sat down, patting a bundle of fabric, "I bet your clothes must feel uncomfortable now?"

Robin tugged at the hem of her clothes, intending to say that Liam's observation skills were indeed sharp… but suddenly remembered that his ghost had been following her closely during this time… From her observations, Liam's ghost seemed like a clone of his, and everything the ghost experienced would feedback to Liam himself… which meant…

Robin's face turned slightly red, and she turned away. After a moment, she turned back and said to Liam, "I can't sew clothes…" 

Liam laughed heartily, "Neither can I!" 

Soon, both sitting by the city wall sighed in unison, "When will Hancock come back…" 

... 

Snap! Snap! 

On Rusukaina Island, as autumn leaves fell, a dark shadow stomped through the air, producing a series of explosive sounds as it shot upwards. 

Robin closed her eyes, feeling the air currents around her, expanding the power of Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) to cover more of the island. 

Monkeys, wild wolves, giant tigers, wild boars… 

Crocodiles, hippopotamuses… 

One by one, points of light sketched their outlines, illuminating like candle flames in Robin's perception. 

... 

In Kuja City, within the palace. 

With Snake Princess absent, the maids had much lighter workloads. 

Some had even gone out to the training grounds to help train the female warriors. 

The second sister, Sandersonia with orange hair, and the third sister, Marigold with green hair, had been training especially hard over these past months.

Cosmos was very pleased, thinking that perhaps Hancock's escapade on a pirate ship, without bringing them along, had motivated them…

"I don't know what's going on but the fruit wine and fruits in the palace have inexplicably decreased these past two days…" A maid complained to a female warrior nearby, "I keep saying that I am not stealing them, but Chef just doesn't believe it! It's too much…"

The other women laughed, "You love sneaking snacks, so of course, you'd be blamed!" 

"That'snot true at all!"

…

At that moment in the palace kitchen, the Chef looked bewildered at the scene that appeared to have been ransacked. 

Fruit peels were strewn all over the ground…

Wine jugs and bottles lay askew, with liquid dripping drop by drop from their spouts and mouths... 

The Chef took a step forward, nearly slipping and falling. She steadied herself and looked down to see a squashed grape, a banana peel, and half a watermelon rind... 

"What a pity, there really wasn't any elixir or anything…"

Hidden somewhere, Liam was picking his teeth, expressing his full regret. 

Robin took a bite of a juicy peach, glancing sideways.

... 

Bang! 

The burly, ferocious beast fell and Robin released her entwined Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) foot and exhaled softly. 

After all, she wasn't the type to be a warrior… 

Forcefully wielding such power still made her a bit nervous; she didn't appear as calm as she seemed. 

Glancing at the sky, dark clouds were gathering, signaling that it might start snowing again. 

The climate on this island changes every week; Kuja Island, however, remains in a perpetual spring. Moving between these two islands can sometimes make one lose track of the passage of time. 

It was almost time to head back. 

Robin dragged the leg of the giant beast away. 

Even without the special sensing between her ghost and Liam, Robin could vaguely perceive Liam's location at this moment… For some reason, Liam's Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) seemed particularly adept at distinguishing different people or, rather, different creatures. 

In her perception through Kenbunshoku Haki, Robin instinctively recognized that it was Liam and not some other creature that resembled him in strength. 

"Whether it's a wild boar or a wild bear, or an old tiger, they can all be clearly distinguished by Kenbunshoku Haki…" 

Dragging the beast's corpse like a small hill, Robin thought to herself, "What's more, I can also gauge their general strength… It's precisely because of Liam's Kenbunshoku Haki that I can avoid those overly powerful monsters on the island…" 

Deep in her heart, Robin seemed to recall that Liam had been very sensitive to "smells" a long time ago… 

Back then, when she disguised herself using the Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi), even though Liam didn't have Kenbunshoku Haki yet, he could see through her disguise. 

He jokingly said that she had a floral scent, but Robin had never smelled anything of the sort on herself… 

Thinking of this, Robin arrived at the seaside, seeing Liam practicing Hasshoken with his bare arms against the backdrop of the crashing waves. 

Robin watched silently for a moment. 

Compared to their first meeting three to four years ago, Liam now stood tall at around six feet, with a muscular build and defined lines…
