Reincarnated With the Book of Knowledge - RWBK Chapter 111 Farewell Alabasta

In the underground chamber where the historical text was located in the royal tomb, Robin suppressed the emotions surging in her heart and silently deciphered the inscriptions on the stone tablet. The light in her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Rhodes walked over and asked, “Can you decipher it?”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

“…Yes,” Robin hesitated for a long time before finally making a huge decision and sighing deeply. “I deciphered it, and it records…”

“It’s good that you deciphered it,” Rhodes interrupted her, showing no interest in the so-called most powerful battleship Pluto.

After all, external objects were just external objects. With knowledge to assist him, Rhodes was confident that he could reach the pinnacle on his own and overlook the world, rather than relying on ancient weapons.

Compared to the Pluto battleship, he was more interested in Poseidon.

After all, with the power to control Sea Kings, he would never lack deep-sea ingredients in the future…

“Huh?” Robin looked at Rhodes with a slightly surprised expression. “How do you know that it has about records Pluto? And how did you know that it was a battleship?”

She didn’t tell him anything, so why was Rhodes so sure?

In this world, the only people who could understand the historical text were the scholars of Ohara, and she was the last survivor.

Facing Robin’s puzzled and confused gaze, Rhodes didn’t explain but just calmly said, “I know more than you think.”

“If you want to know more, we can delve deeper.”

His expression was extremely serious, his tone profound, and he gave the feeling that he could see through the world’s secrets, which was somewhat mysterious.

But Robin felt something was off; she could tell that Rhodes didn’t want to talk more, so she had to suppress her curiosity.

But inevitably, Robin had some curiosity and desire to explore her new mysterious and young boss who was powerful and knowledgeable enough to even know about the history buried in the dust…

“Let’s go. This is someone else’s tomb. It’s not good to stay too long,” Rhodes said, leading Robin out of the tomb’s entrance.

The King of Alabasta, Cobra, who was also Vivi’s father, was already waiting outside despite being curious about what was inside the tomb. 

Soon, the three of them walked together and arrived at the magnificent palace where a feast was already prepared.

Vivi made her grand entrance, dressed in a white off-shoulder gown that tightly outlined her full chest. The gown was adorned with large silver sequins that shimmered like fish scales, and her makeup was slightly applied, making her look incredibly radiant.

Rhodes couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Vivi’s stunning beauty. 

Cobra, Vivi’s father, squinted his eyes at the sight, his face showing a sly satisfaction. 

Young people with both strength and character like Rhodes were rare to come by in the sea. 

Even if he was a commoner, Cobra was more than happy to marry off Vivi to him. Moreover, judging from Vivi’s recent behavior, it was clear that she was fond of this young man.

As the banquet came to an end, Rhodes announced his departure.

“Are you leaving already?” Vivi asked with a hint of reluctance. Though they hadn’t spent much time together, Rhodes had made a deep impression on her. He had changed the fate of Alabasta single-handedly and left a lasting mark on her heart.

“This is something that the future queen of Alabasta should handle,” Rhodes replied with a smile, ruffling Vivi’s hair, which she had spent two to three hours styling, leaving it a mess.

“The sea is vast, and we’ll have many more opportunities to meet in the future. And Robin will stay here, so if you ever get bored, you can go and play with her.”

Rhodes had already completed most of the tasks he had set out to do during this adventure, and there was no need to linger any longer. He was destined to keep moving, for there were still many challenges left for him to overcome in the world.

Upon hearing Rhodes’ response, Vivi’s face fell slightly, and she struggled to find the words to say. “I understand,” she murmured, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

“I’m leaving now,” Rhodes said before adding, “By the way, your dress looks great.”

Before anyone could respond, Rhodes vanished into thin air, leaving the palace and making his way towards the harbor.

Vivi watched Rhodes disappear into the distance with a heavy heart, while Cobra let out a soft sigh, realizing that he had underestimated this young man. Rhodes wasn’t the kind of man who would stay for a woman; his only goal was to become stronger.

“My foolish daughter, if you want to stand by his side in the future, you have to start by improving yourself,” Cobra said.

“You think so too, father?” Vivi muttered to herself, her eyes gradually showing a determined light.

……

Alabasta’s port.

Robin was wearing a black tight-fitting suit made of black dragon leather, which made her appear broad-minded and busty, with an intellectual and elegant appearance that had a tempting charm of contrast.

If she wore a pair of black-framed glasses, she would be perfect, Rhodes thought to himself.

“I have compiled some training notes for you, and some suggestions on how to develop your Hana Hana fruit ability,” Rhodes said, handing over some papers. “I also know the location of many historical texts. When I have time, I will take you there to interpret them.”

“During this time, focus on your intelligence work, the funds I left for you should be sufficient,” he continued. “If there’s anything you can’t solve, call me.”

Robin took the papers silently, paused for a moment, and nodded seriously.

For the first time, she felt a true sense of trust, rather than the naked mutual use she had faced in the underground world.

In Rhodes’ eyes, Robin could never detect any malice, only a faint pity.

Occasionally teasing, it was like a playful game between friends, adding to the lively atmosphere.

“Remember, if you want to recover the lost history and seek revenge on the World Government, you must first become strong yourself.”

Rhodes finished his words and boarded the ship, setting sail in the favorable wind, disappearing from Robin’s sight in no time.

“Huh.”

Robin sighed, he really was a boss that was hard to figure out.

She always felt that everything about herself had been seen through by Rhodes.

In his eyes, even the World Government, which had ruled the world for eight hundred years and suppressed everything, was just a bigger and higher mountain that would eventually be climbed over.

“Since now I have such a good boss, I should focus more on my work.”

Facing the sea breeze, Robin muttered softly.
