Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 66 Brin
"And you, Guan Yi?" Ye Huohuo asked Guan Yi after recounting her own experiences.

"I'm similar to you. I also met an old man and learned ancient martial arts from him, and I also mastered two types of Haki. However, I obtained the Devil Fruit through another adventure. Once, I was stranded on a deserted island and fought a giant monster bird. I got a treasure chest from its belly."

"You can get treasure chests from defeating monsters?!"

"Of course not, that box must have been eaten by the strange bird before, and it couldn't digest it."

Ye Huohuo suddenly realized, "I thought I had missed out on a lot of amazing adventures."

Guan Yi's explanation was rather general, but Ye Huohuo readily accepted it. Which protagonist doesn't have a good brother by their side to fight alongside them? How can a good brother keep up with the protagonist if he doesn't have some fortuitous encounters?
Being assigned to the same exploration team as Guan Yi, and then reuniting at the 'Peak of the Kingdom,' Ye Huohuo felt it was all destined. Moreover, from the current perspective, he was the strategist, and Guan Yi was the warrior!

He said with great enthusiasm, "With me by Lingling's side to obtain first-hand intelligence, and with your powerful combat capabilities, we might just be able to clear the secret realm this time!"

As if he had already prepared beforehand, Ye Huohuo quickly said, "There is some information you may not know yet. To go to Laugh Tale, the final island where the Pirate King stored the One Piece, you need to collect all four Road Poneglyphs."

"Linlin has one, Kaido has one, and they have two after forming an alliance. I've seen the inscriptions on both of these stone tablets. Once Kaido and Linlin collect the other two, I'll give them a false coordinate, and we can get there before them and conquer the secret realm!"

This plan actually makes some sense, but Guan Yi felt that just seeing the true appearance of the Great Treasure was far from enough to fully conquer the pirate's secret realm.

The World Government, controlled by Im, is probably the 'final boss,' but letting Kaido and Big Mom test the waters first and take the opportunity to collect life points to increase their strength is indeed a good idea for the current plan.

Then Ye Huohuo said again, "Now there's something I need you to do, brother. Kaido has a historian under his command who can translate ancient texts, Nico Robin. She's being held at No. 7 Chocolate Street. Think of a way to assassinate her!"

"...Assassinate Robin?"

“That’s right, she’s the biggest obstacle in our plan. With her and my translations corroborating each other, I can’t lie anymore.” Ye Huohuo smoothed his hair and said, “Don’t be soft-hearted, brother. Although she seems to have just been captured by Kaido, she’s just an NPC. If she’s in the way, we have to get rid of her!”

"Remember, number seven on Choco Street. Don't let Kaido and Linlin find out!" Ye Huohuo stood up and said, "I should probably go back now. If Linlin looks for me and finds out I'm not there, it will be hard for me to explain. We two need to be careful when contacting each other from now on."

Patting Guan Yi on the shoulder with a sense of ritual, Ye Huohuo turned and left.

Guan Yi thought to himself, perhaps Ye Huohuo's mindset is the right way to conquer the secret realm?

He treats everyone except himself as NPCs in the game, regardless of gender, age, or morality. Anyone who gets in his way can be eliminated. To achieve his goal, he swallows his bitterness even after becoming the husband of an older woman, intending to rise up by taking advantage of the situation.

But Guan Yi felt he could never do it.

He felt that people should always have principles, both in what they do and what they shouldn't do. Otherwise, if he needed to risk his life, he wouldn't have bothered coming here; he could have just killed Luffy, right?
Even with the protagonist's halo, Guan Yi's current strength makes it easy for him to kill Luffy without anyone noticing.

Therefore, just as Ye Huohuo was about to disappear from sight, Guan Yi said directly, "I know Nico Robin. Killing her is not an option. You shouldn't make any rash moves either. With two Yonko allied, this island won't be peaceful anytime soon. Let's observe quietly and deal with any changes as they occur."

Ye Huohuo paused for a moment, then turned around and gave Guan Yi a thumbs up, everything was understood without words.

Dude, do it your way!

This trust, however, gave Guan Yi a headache; he couldn't understand the psychology of someone suffering from "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

"Seven Chocolate Street? It should be easier to see Robin than I expected."

……

Chocolate Street, No. 7 Chocolate House.

Robin quietly arranged the flowers, his mind somewhat unsettled, and he couldn't even concentrate on the history book on his desk.

As the Four Emperors' alliance celebration approached, she keenly sensed danger and gradually realized her precarious situation.

Five months ago, on Skypiea, after Guan Yi escaped, she faced Kaido who came looking for her and was powerless to resist, and was taken to Wano Country.

Initially, she was highly valued. Jack the Drought, one of the three great commanders, personally guarded her. Apart from not being free, she was provided with the maximum allowable food, clothing, and shelter. She even flew to Wano Country riding on the back of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!
As long as she cooperated in translating the Poneglyphs Kaido obtained, she could live peacefully in Wano Country. This feeling wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. Robin planned to recuperate in Wano Country for a while, use Kaido's power to obtain more Poneglyphs, and then find an opportunity to escape. However, since Kaido allied with Big Mom, her situation has changed.

She was unaware of Ye Huohuo's existence, but she could clearly sense that the Beast Pirates no longer valued her as much, especially after they brought her to Whole Cake Island, where no one even bothered to guard her anymore.

Just like the countless times she's experienced over the past twenty years, she's been betrayed and abandoned once again! It seems that Kaido, who personally captured her and brought her back to Wano Country, has also given up on her?
"Sister Robin, are you arranging flowers?"

Just then, a voice rang out at the door. Robin turned around and saw a cute girl with long blonde hair and bangs covering her forehead.

If there is anyone still watching over me, it is this girl who looks innocent and cute on the outside, but actually has a kind of indescribable feeling about her.

"Yes, Pudding, is there something you need?"

Pudding smiled innocently, "Didn't you feel it, Sister Robin? That strong tremor earlier felt like the sky was torn apart!"

"Of course I saw it. Did Kaido fight with your mother again?" Robin asked.

"No, that's not it." Pudding smiled like a little fox who had stolen candy, and leaned closer to say, "It's Flame Tiger Ian! He fought with Kaido of the Beasts, but Mom stopped him!"

Robin was startled, and the flower branch in his hand fell into the vase: "Ian?"

"Yes, Sister Robin, you know him, right? He's here to see you, isn't he?"

Robin was slightly distracted. In Shandora, when Ian threw her onto the sky island, he said that she could either successfully escape with him or join Kaido's crew with him. The result was the third option.

Ian ran away on his own.

Robin could understand; judging from the tremors that day, Ian must have tried to approach her several times, but failed each time. In a situation like this, running away was the most sensible choice.

She only sighed inwardly at being abandoned yet again; she was used to it.

It was only because she thought that Ian, who was going to learn ancient scripts, could become her true friend that she was even more heartbroken than her previous experiences.

But now... he's actually come to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand?

Are you really here to see me?

"Looks like that!" Pudding laughed and ran out. "It's okay, I just came to tell you the good news, Robin!"

Not daring to linger in Robin's room, Pudding's face darkened as she ran out the door.

How despicable! How despicable! I thought we were in the same boat, but you actually have someone who cares?!
As a half-blood of the Three-Eyed Tribe, Pudding was bullied and shunned by older women from a young age because of her third eye. However, because the Three-Eyed Tribe possesses the ability to decipher Poneglyphs after their eyes are fully opened, her status in Totto Land is not low.

However, after Ye Huohuo appeared, her situation took a sharp turn for the worse. She could no longer get any care from the old lady and was abandoned by her!
Robin was in the same situation as her, so since Robin came to Whole Cake Island, she would occasionally come to visit Robin and also watch over him.

But now that Yanhu Ian has come to find her and rescue her, who cares about me?! My mother even gave me an outrageous task: to try and make Yanhu Ian like me and arrange a marriage between us?!
Damn it, how old am I?
Even though Sister Mukuru and Sister Mabul are the more suitable candidates, I can discard them at will just because they are useful!
Alright, that's settled then. I'm going to steal Flame Tiger Ian away, so that Robin can also experience what it feels like to be completely ignored!

As she left in such a fierce manner, she bumped into someone right outside the courtyard.

"Uh... Ian the Flame Tiger?"

Pudding was stunned for a moment, and her heart darkened even more. Had they found them so quickly?
But on the surface, she looked up like a blooming flower, her face full of admiration, yet with a hint of girlish shyness, and said, "Are you Lord Ian the Flame Tiger who injured Kaido? How rude of me! I am Charlotte Pudding, the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Guan Yi looked down at Xiao Bulin, frowned and thought for two seconds, then said, "Go back and tell Ms. Charlotte Lingling that I am not going to arrange a marriage."

“…Huh???”
