Chapter 58 Scheming (Part 2)
Robin said matter-of-factly: "Without the text information of the fourth stone tablet, the meaning of these three parts is still zero!"
Kaido turned around, frowned and asked, "I don't understand this. I've got three of the four stone tablets. Even if I can't be completely sure of Raftel's location, it's okay to know 70% to 80% of it!"
Robin replied calmly: "If you are referring to the nautical chart, then there is no problem! But the world is so big, and with just three coordinates, I am afraid that I will have to find the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon! Not to mention that the climate in New World is so harsh It’s weird, and the magnetic field is even more chaotic. Trying to stay on course while sailing is simply a fantasy!”
Kaido pondered for a moment and said: "You are right. Without the eternal pointer, no one can say that we will reach the destination with certainty! It's a pity that Raftel's eternal pointer was destroyed by that idiot in Straw Hat. It's so stupid!"
Robin listened but said nothing.
"As for the fourth stone tablet, I am determined to get it! You don't have to worry about that, just try your best to translate the three copies in front of me!"
Kaido then took a few steps closer, bent down, stared at her with a pair of big copper eyes, and asked quietly: "You will do your best for me, right?"
Robin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and pretended to be calm and said: "Now that we have reached an agreement, I will not break my promise!"
"Oh haha!" Kaido burst out laughing.
He then walked to the desk again, picked up some of the results that Robin had translated, and drank while reading them, and said: "The ancestors of the Kozuki family are really verbose. They have to write such a long paragraph to remind them of a coordinate. It's so direct. Just say it’s not a good place, it’s a waste of Laozi’s time!”
Robin explained out of scholar's instinct: "The geographical coordinates of eight hundred years ago have changed a lot in today's world, and some old place names have long been abandoned! In view of this, the ancient ancestors described them in detail The specific characteristics of the coordinates make it easier for us to determine the location!”
"This is also the wisdom of our ancestors!"
Kaido didn't look back, but said impatiently: "It doesn't matter, translation or analysis, these are all your work! Laozi only wants results!"
Robin smiled lightly, and then said: "Since you leave it all to me, you have to provide me with the necessary conditions!"
"Huh?" Kaido turned around and asked, "What else are you missing? I should have told them that anything you need for work must be met unconditionally! You can just mention this to them directly!"
"This condition is a bit special. I'm afraid they can't make the decision. They must have your consent!"
Kaido frowned and said, "Tell me first!"
Robin remained calm and said slowly: "After the translation work is completed, I still need the most precise New World nautical charts and a highly capable navigator! Because the navigation field is a weak point in my knowledge, I must use Only with these manpower and material resources can we analyze and find the coordinate location!"
Kaido sneered and said: "I thought it was a big deal! It's just a navigation chart. Laozi is a pirate, how could he lack this! As for the navigator, I will ask them to send one with the most experience to assist you. Got it!"
Robin shook his head and said: "This is not possible. Their navigation experience is enough to plunder at sea, but if you want to use a text map to search, it must be done by professional navigation masters who have learned systematic knowledge!"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Where can I find such a talent at the moment?" Kaido frowned and thought carefully.
A smile flashed across Robin's lips and he continued: "You don't have to worry. I know such a capable person in Wanokuni right now!"
Kaido's brows relaxed, he drank wine and said with a smile: "Oh, geek, tell him his name and I'll send someone to capture him right away!"
But the next moment, his expression changed again, because the person Robin was talking about was none other than Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hat Crew.
Robin faced the other person's gaze and slowly explained: "Nami is the smartest and most knowledgeable navigation expert I have ever met. We sailed from the first half of the Grand Line all the way to New World. Without her assistance in navigation knowledge, it would have been impossible." Do it!”
"If I can get her to come here to assist me, I'm 100% sure that I can complete the coordinate confirmation!"
Kaido's eyes looked suspicious at this time. He naturally knew that the woman in front of him would not make this request for no reason, and must have other plans.
The little thieving cat and the devil's son are both smart and resourceful people in the Straw Hat Crew. If they are allowed to stay together, they will probably come up with some plan to cause trouble for him. But if they refuse her, she will For this reason, it is claimed that coordinate confirmation cannot be completed.
Although Kaido does not understand archeology and navigation, as a hero, he naturally has the insight into people's hearts. Usually, among his subordinates, who is loyal and brave, and who is treacherous, who is treacherous on the surface and loyal and brave on the inside, and who is loyal and brave on the outside and treacherous on the inside. He knows it all, and this is how a leader controls people.
Through the conversation just now, he could certainly see some of Robin's true thoughts and secret calculations.
It was true that a navigator and a nautical chart were needed to confirm the coordinates, but it was up to her to say what kind of specialized personnel were needed.
At this moment, she specifically asked her fellow pirates to help. If she dared to say that she had no other thoughts, she would really be deceiving Kaido as a fool.
Kaido stared at her and said coldly: "Change someone else. No matter who it is, I will personally help you catch him!"
Robin spread his hands and said: "It's a pity that I only know such a navigation expert! If you are worried, you can just pretend that I didn't say anything and just send people to look for it slowly all over the world! I'm not in a hurry anyway. of!"
"By the way, without the assistance of navigation experts, I will not be able to complete the coordinate confirmation! Then you can't blame me, I will continue to provide three meals a day!"
After Robin said this, she looked at him indifferently, only to find that the other person was also staring at her.
Of course Kaido knew that this woman was playing tricks on him, it was useless even if he had doubts, and whether he agreed or not, she would be able to achieve her goal. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Oh, you are such a powerful woman, Nicole Robin! You know how to use your own value to bargain with me!"
Suddenly, Kaido leaned forward suddenly, staring into her eyes without blinking, and said faintly: "You must not have forgotten what will happen if you dare to fool me, right?"
"I know you are not afraid of death, so if I find out that you are dishonest even once, even if I see the slightest clue, I will bring one of the Straw Hat Crew's heads to you! If you don't believe it, you can Just give it a try, anyway, I have 8 heads for you to try and make mistakes slowly!"
Ignoring Robin who was in a cold sweat, Kaido turned and left.
"As for the navigator, let's wait until you finish the translation work! You can challenge my patience and try, I have already said the price!"
