"2 trillion…" Robin exhaled slowly, a cold, measured sigh that seemed to freeze the air around him.
What a number.
Once upon a time, Niri had worried about her colossal Pearl reserves. She had admitted, almost sheepishly, that she possessed three billion Pearls, scattered across countless mining zones, each one carefully guarded and accounted for. She had promised that more would be formed over time, but even she knew the magnitude of what she possessed was nothing compared to what Robin now held.
For Robin, and even for Niri herself, that had been a number that teetered on the edge of impossibility, a figure almost too vast to comprehend.
And now… Temari, with casual nonchalance, had told him that he had 2,000 billion Pearls.
No, it wasn't even exact. The true figure might very well be 2,358 billion Pearls, or perhaps slightly more. Yet she had dismissed the extra 358 as trivial, rounding down to the neat figure of two trillion.
He had come a long, long way.
