While Shinra was confused, he couldn't help but look at Robin, but she also showed confusion, yet also a deep surprise, as she had never thought Crocodile would send his trusted assassin to attack her.
Buru! Buru! Buru!
A strange sound echoed, and Robin saw the Den Den Mushi that she kept on her chest seemingly receiving a call, but she didn't receive it as her eyes continued to focus on the man that made the sudden attack on them since she knew well that the moment she received this call, the man would make an attack.
"What's wrong? You should answer it." The man was calm, cool, and even cold as he didn't move, seemingly waiting for Robin to answer her Den Den Mushi; yet, his eyes were always on Shinra, who could dodge his sneak attack. Despite his relaxed stance, he used his ability. "So you should understand why you are killed."
Like Robin, who made a plot to take away the life of her boss, her boss also never trusted her and had sent an assassin to take her life.
At the same time, Robin sighed helplessly, wondering why she had become so naive, thinking that all her actions weren't being monitored, and had the confidence that everything would be okay.
Regardless, the sudden appearance of this man made her tense and nervous, since, unlike other subordinates of her boss, who had a kind of humorous and somewhat clown-like existence, this man was strong.
Mr. 1, also known as Daz Bonez, was a notorious assassin, also referred to as the Killer.
With cold, machine-like eyes, Bonez accepted all the assassin jobs for money and also trained himself in his martial arts.
More importantly, he was also a user of the Devil Fruit.
"Does he really want to kill me?" Robin knew that Crocodile needed her to search for the ancient weapon to conquer the world, so would Crocodile really want to kill her?
"No, but he told me to cut all of your limbs, so you couldn't run away again, Miss All Sunday."
"....."
Robin was silent for a moment, then said with a smile and laugh, "Boss sure loves me."
"I will let you go, but kill the young man next to you." Bonez, who saw Robin had a mood to joke around, gave such an ultimatum, and he wouldn't accept a rejection as an answer.
Robin took a deep breath, then looked at Shinra, who was also looking at her, before she raised both of her arms and apologized. "I am sorry, Shinra."
As the pink cherry blossom petals scattered around her body, she used the power of Hana Hana no Mi and created several arms to break the neck and the joints of her target, but her target wasn't Shinra. Instead, it was Bonez who stood by their side!
"—?!"
Bonez was startled, and his entire body quickly hardened to the limit!
"Spider!"
Despite being motionless, his body had become as hard as steel, and Robin's arms couldn't even move Bonez's body. Instead, her hands were the ones that were cut!
Splash!
As blood splattered from her hands, Robin frowned, trying to endure the pain.
Yes, while the Hana Hana no Mi was a powerful ability that allowed her to create parts of her limbs and attach them to the bodies of others, which could be used as a sneak attack, when those limbs were hurt, her real body was also hurt, as they were connected.
Yet, without a doubt, on that single exchange, Robin knew that she wasn't the opponent of Bonez.
Supa Supa no Mi.
This was the Devil Fruit that was eaten by Bonez, which gave him characteristics of a steel blade, making him a bladed human.
In other words, his entire body was as sharp as a blade, and those who touched or attacked him would be cut!
No one could attack him!
His defense was impregnable!
Only when Bonez defended himself did he realize that Shinra had vanished!
Blink!
Shinra used a movement technique where he moved to the blind spot of Bonez, took his kukri as he twisted his arm, and then stabbed him with his dagger.
Rakhasa's stab!
Unlike the Rakshasa's palm, which used his palm to attack his opponent, creating a powerful impact and twisting damage that broke bones and killed the enemy, especially when it hit the heart, back, or neck, the danger spots for a human.
On the other hand, the Rakhasa's stab utilized a weapon, specifically a bladed one, as he stabbed with twisting force, creating a drill-like effect that inflicted penetrating and twisting damage.
Clang!
Shinra's Bane Bane no Mi allowed him to twist any part of his body, as he could give his limbs a spring-like trait, making him able to twist his limbs more than 360 degrees and beyond!
As his dagger stabbed into Bonez' neck, it created a metallic sound like a clash, but the sharp dagger twisted, before rotating, trying to dig inside!
"It's meaningless! No attack can penetrate my bladed body!"
Yet, even so, Bonez tried his best to harden his body further, especially when Shinra's dagger tried to twist his skin, trying to force itself to stab into his body as he screamed, focusing on defending himself!
However, as he opened his mouth wide, screaming to focus his spirit, Shinra threw a grenade inside his mouth!
"Huh?!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
As the explosion echoed, all the animals quickly made their escape, and everyone in the nearby area was startled!
"Explosion?!"
"It is from the forest!"
"What is happening?!"
Everyone was confused, but no one dared to get close, yet for Robin, who saw the fight that had happened before her, she couldn't utter a single word, as it was the first time she had seen someone fight in such a way.
However, one word to describe Shinra's fighting style was 'dirty'.
Yet, she sighed in relief as she knew the victor was clear.
Yes, Bonez's defence might be high since his body was as hard as a steel blade due to the Supa Supa no Mi, making him both hard and sharp, so those who attacked him would be cut, yet facing an explosion that happened directly on his mouth, how could he defend against it?
Moreover, this was a special grenade used for a Kaiju, so of course, the damage that it caused was even more dangerous than a normal grenade!
Regardless, their battle quickly ended, and before Bonez died, Shinra used the Eye of Usurp, took Bonez's ability directly, and took away the power of Supa Supa no Mi into his body.
'Hmm...'
Still, he didn't waste his chance and took away Bonez' corpse by using the Seal Jutsu, then took Robin's hand before pulling her. "Let's go."
"...you want to bring me?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you afraid that you will be targeted by Crocodile?"
"I am not afraid." Shinra didn't fear Crocodile. Instead, Crocodile should be the one who was afraid as he had targeted him.
"...."
Robin felt her voice stuck so that she couldn't breathe, but in the end, she said, "Crocodile isn't the only one that targets me. The World Government, too, will target you if you are with me—"
"...."
Robin was rooted in place as her lips were taken by Shinra, being shut, then had her mouth be invaded by him as he kissed her deeply, like he marked her as his woman, making her flush, yet excited, and sought his kiss further until she couldn't breathe, and his lips parted away.
"Let's go."
"...you are so overbearing."
As she let out a helpless sigh, Robin grasped his hand as she followed him with a smile.
"So, where are we going now?"
"Crocodile."
Forget about the Batto Batto no Mi, Shinra was going to take away Crocodile's everything!
