Chapter-24

—----------------

Robin wants to help too since if something happens to him then her life might end too but unfortunately, right now her Mastery over her devil fruit is not enough to fight against such a big thing

Her fruit is The Hana Hana no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to replicate and sprout pieces of her body from the surface of any object or living thing

And right now she thinks she can't do anything to help Yoriichi fight no matter how she used her devil fruit against that big thing

Robin suddenly woke from her thoughts as soon unknowingly her heartbeat started to beat faster like she had in past when her home island was destroyed

But it was not due to this huge lizard but it was due to yoriichi because right now she is feeling the same as when yoriichi cut through the sea stone cage 

The thing Robin right now is experience is feeling of helplessness, like her body knows if she dares to fight against him then no matter how she fights or how many tricks she plays, it will be all worthless

'Like that time…' Robin unconsciously said this in her mind after this feeling triggered a specific childhood memory but she felt Yoriichi was more dangerous than that man

She couldn't help but think about whether her decision to follow yoriichi was good or bad since she still didn't much about Yoriichi motives and his plans yet

Unfortunately, now she can't turn back, since it's already been too late otherwise there won't be any way left for her 

She decided to never make him mad since thinking about the possibility when he would be like this against her, just thinking about that possibility gives her shivers in her spine

And it is not just her but the big lizard in front of Yoriichi also feeling intimated by Yoriichi but the lizard doesn't believe such small prey would cause any harm to him

*ROAR!!*

Not only that but this lizard is not alone as the lizard roars for its partner while the sand below Yoriichi starts to tremble

*BLAST!*

Another pops out below yoriichi but he already knows it's coming as he jumps upwards dodging the second lizard 

Seeing his prey escape again, the first lizard leapt forward in order to attack yoriichi in mid-air

Phew~

Yoriichi took a deep breath as he muttered in a very low voice "Sun breathing: Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance"

This is another one of his techniques in his sun-breathing sword style, in this Yoriichi assumes a high stance, before unleashing a number of consecutive slashes in a fluid motion in the form of a Japanese dragon made of solar flames. 

This technique is capable of decapitating multiple targets at once but he did this because in mid-air he can't much aim in the air

That's the reason he would release multiple slashes towards both of the lizards which will instantly end both of these lizards

Lizards didn't have any time to react as both of them slashed into small pieces instantly before they could process anything while their blood splashed in every direction

*Sigh* 

Yoriichi released a sad sigh as he perfectly landed back on his feet while he closed his eyes and started to apologize for his actions inwardly

Meanwhile, Robin is completely stunned by the current scene because she never expected yoriichi to kill both of these huge lizards in a few seconds 

She woke up from her stunned state as soon as she noticed yoriichi coming back and looking at yoriichi right now 

Nobody would say he is the one who killed both of these huge monsters because he has now a totally different atmosphere than a few seconds before

"That was really spectacular" Robin said in a calm tone but she still sweating remembering yoriichi a few seconds back who was releasing an immense pressure

She also feels relieved that Yoriichi is back to his usual self, otherwise, it might become more difficult for her to travel with him

"Let's eat" Yoriichi said as he planned to eat before moving on since Robin and Ember both needed to eat before moving as well as Yoriichi because he also not eaten since yesterday due to continuous unexpected events

Robin only could nod her head at his suggestion without hesitation since she also is hungry now

She knows they needed energy for their adventurer as well and she really didn't want to say 'no' to his order because she thought she might be next

They quickly found a suitable shade they lit up a campfire and started to edible pieces of meat

….. 

After some minutes while the meat was cooking …. 

Robin explained what kind of monster Yoriichi fought and also told him about what area they were currently in because, from this, Robin was able to locate their current location

These monsters are called Sandora lizards a giant purple lizard that hides underground in the Sandora Desert waiting for prey and they always hunt in pairs

This is also the reason why they can't see anyone since this whole Area is basically a hunting Area for those Sandora lizards which is also why they are safe for now

*Sigh*

Robin couldn't help but sigh of relief because this was the best place to hide from Crocodile

"Phe~!" Ember came back to Yoriichi from the sky, as the meat got ready when Yoriichi also served Ember some meat

Robin couldn't help but look at Ember closely, not only for her cuteness but because she remembered reading about a bird very similar to Ember's appearance in some book

Unfortunately, she can't remember it fully, so she decided to look again after she successfully escaped this place 

"Here" Yoriichi handed her meat too since he is the cook there, and it is all due to his experience in those years 

"Thank you," Robin said as she took the meat stick from yoriichi hand while she thought about how he changed whenever he wanted in an instant because to her right now Yoriichi looked at peace which was very different from before
