Just A Little More Time

'If the Marines really had a hand in what happened at Ohara, then…' Nami looked at Robin's extremely calm face and asked her another question.

"Wouldn't it be bad for you if this information is leaked after you leave?" And Robin nodded hearing that since...

"It certainly would've been, but I already thought of a way to deal with it if that was the case," Robin smiled calmly, and for some reason, Nami felt a chill go through her body, "I would've simply dealt with you quietly, so that no one else knows about me." And it wasn't without a good reason.

"N-No way, right?" Nami's face twitched and she tried to back away as far as she could, she still couldn't take that at face value thanks to Robin's poker face; also she didn't want to think that she had actually received such a threat.

But before she could get her confirmation...

"Nami, you brat!!" Belle-mere came in running making Nami forget everything as she looked up scared, "I told you to look after the farm! It is either running around or drawing maps!! Where do you think the money for your materials comes fro-?!" but even she stopped when she noticed Robin, who was standing there with a small smile on her face.

"Who …are you?" Belle-mere quickly got ready to attack just in case Robin had ulterior intentions for Nami, "I haven't seen you around here, what are you doing here?" and a barrage of questions flowed.

"W-What?" Nami on the other hand was shocked to hear that, if that was true then didn't Robin lie to her?

"Y-You…." Nami was about to lose her temper, Robin lied to her when she actually sympathized with her, it was a plain betrayal.

"Take that as a lesson," Robin winked with a smile, "But rest assured aside from that part, nothing else was a lie." She then reassured Nami about her previous words without as much of a twitch in her expression, even if she knew what she had said.

"W-What?" Nami was of course stunned by this because Robin's last words weren't really good, it was a straight threat to her life.

'Of course, it was true,' Robin wouldn't want to get her identity out that easily, especially after she had seen how much trouble Adam went through to keep her safe.

She had only revealed it to Nami because of her reasons, but now she was thinking of something else...

'Did she say that Nami drew maps?' Robin glanced at the Mother and Daughter, her interest was already piqued when she heard that Adam had shown his face to Nami.

'Could it be that he knew that I would come here?' The more Robin thought about it the more sense it made to her since in her eyes Adam was someone capable of such plans.

"What are you two talking about?" Belle-mere asked looking between Robin and Nami.

She had dropped her previous vigilance because it didn't seem that Robin was someone who wanted to hurt Nami.

'Otherwise, this brat wouldn't have the time to be giving those over-the-top reactions,' Belle-mere sighed looking at Nami's jaw, it looked like the damn thing was about to touch the ground.

While on the other Robin seemed as chill as ice, like nothing was bothering her. In fact, she was planning her next move.

"I suppose, it really is something he wanted to happen," Her words drew the attention of the two in front of her. But they couldn't understand her, and they didn't have the time to do that as well.

"Even the information you gave to the Marines, reached me even with the impossible odds." Robin's next words got their eyes to widen, they couldn't help but feel like she was much more of a threat to them at this moment.

"Say Nami, Want to join me in my journey on the sea?" Robin on the other hand asked her question with a small smile like this was no big deal.

"…"

"…"

Belle-mere and Nami were staring at Robin with shock all over their faces, this made her tilt her head slightly not catching what they were so shocked about.

"Did I gloss over something?" She questioned since she was sure she thought of everything.

"You glossed over too much!!!!!" The mother and daughter shouted in exasperation.

Everything aside, this was the meeting between the legendary duo, who a few years later robbed both Pirates and Marines equally while making their way to the Grandline quietly making a name for themselves.

These two were not supposed to meet this soon, but thanks to the intervention of someone they did. So, would this be good or not?

Sadly we'll only know about that in the distant future since the next line is.

To Be Continued….

Anyway, now we are back to the root of all problems in this universe.

Adam was back in his shop once again.

There were many thoughts in his head at the moment, but one of them was at the top.

It was a thought that he had been delaying for a while.

This is why he tried to contact the Goddess of Wishes, it was just that…

"I'll thank her later I guess," Adam would still ask some questions about which one did it.

But in the end, he still planned to thank her, which is why he tried to contact her through the system once again, but…

'No reply once again,' Adam had been trying to contact the Goddess for a while, he tried to do that during the time he made the contract with Tsunade, and also did it after making the contract with Nobara.

'I was wondering if there was any way of getting the pardon from her, but she didn't answer and only came after the whole thing was done during the first one, and now she isn't even responding,' Adam sighed as he lay down on the sofa, it was not like he didn't understand why this was happening now.

But Adam couldn't stay on that thought for long, because he had a lot of things that he needed to go through. Now that he had thought back upon what happened before he went to see Robin, one of the biggest problems was the sudden change in Ai's behavior.

'What happened to her all of a sudden? Not to mention Miyako, it is weird,' It wasn't their actions that seemed weird to him, but his own because he had left that place quickly, and he knew why he did that.

'Miyako must've already done it,' Adam knew but he still chose to leave before it happened, because he knew the first thing she'd do after that was look for him based on her words.

"And I don't know what I'd do then, how would I explain to her about the circumstances?" This was the reason Adam decided to move before it happened.

He couldn't look into the eyes of a woman who broke her marriage for him and tell her that he already has a fiancée, the very reason Miyako couldn't continue with her current marriage was because of Ichigo sleeping around. This would basically destroy her in an instant.

'No, I could've said that at the time when she told me about it… but I didn't do that,' Adam sighed looking at the ceiling.

"Why?" Adam muttered hollowly, "Was I ...making a backup plan in case things really fell apart?" and the reason he did that was actually worse than he had thought, but…

"I guess, everything has consequences, it is my wish to have a harem, and my own indecisiveness is causing this, the idiotic me forgot how hard that was," Adam sat up with a frown, "just me wanting a harem isn't going to cut it with this attitude."

"If I want that, then not only do I have hurt the women in my life by basically asking them to let me sleep around with other women when they aren't around but they can't do the same, But I also need to be a real piece of shit to go through with that feeling," Adam felt disgusted, "I never thought it would be this hard before." but in the end if someone asked him now that whether or not he wanted a harem.

Then he'd nod without hesitation still, but there was a catch.

"I need to talk to them before doing something like that again," Adam wanted to put Rias and Akeno first, for now as they were the women who said that they loved him when he himself hadn't been able to say it even once.

That is what made Adam feel so guilty about what he did. But what's done is done, right now he had made up his mind to talk with them first, he'll be the scummy and disgusting man if needed.

'In the end, I won't be lying to them,' At least that way they'd be able to cut him off from their life without regret.

"But I would still find a way to get out of this if they didn't want it to be that way, I also need to talk with Rias about Akeno, still haven't done that….." Adam sighed since it was because of this delay that such a situation popped up, if only he had talked about this with Rias last time but he couldn't bring himself to do that.

"Just a little more," Adam leaned back on the sofa looking at the watch, there was only a little time left right now before he could go back.
