55 Finally home!

"Is this Ohara?"

The closer you get to Ohara, the more you can feel the vastness of the tree of omniscience.

This tree was truly a miracle of nature!

The tree of omniscience almost enveloped the entire island of Ohara, with its height reaching to the sky.

"Hina is surprised!"

Hina looked at the tree of omniscience in front of her with surprise. 

As someone living in West Blue, she had naturally heard of Ohara and the Tree of Omniscience before. 

But seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel incredible.

"This is much bigger than what is said in the legend!"

In her limited cognition, the big tree located on the mountain behind her village is already big enough.

But how many of those big trees need to be added together to be comparable to the tree of omniscience in front of her?

"Punch! "

"Ouch!"

Hina clutched her little head and glared at Will angrily.

"Why are you hitting Hina on the head? Do you want Hina to turn stupid when she grows up?"

Will said unhappily: "Hurry up and steer the boat. You can wonder all you want after reaching the island."

"Hmph, but remember one thing, you can't hit Hina on the head again!"

Although angry, Hina obediently complied.

As soon as the boat docked, Will got off the boat impatiently and in his excitement he even forgot to wait for Hina. 

"Oops, you bastard, wait for Hina!"

Hina was still packing her things when she saw that Will was rushing away and stomped her feet angrily.

In a hurry, she packed up her luggage anxiously, and quickly trotted after him to keep up.

After all, she was not very familiar with this place and felt that it would be safer to stay with Will.

"The tree of omniscience... Lucy..."

Will walked towards the Tree of Omniscience, muttering under his breath with excitement. 

As the trunk of the tree of omniscience got closer, he became more and more uneasy. He didn't know how to face the next situation. 

Finally, he reached under the trunk of the tree of omniscience.

Standing at the door, he was a little afraid to go in.

"Hoo, hoo..."

"You, you, guy, what are you doing, by walking so fast, you didn't even wait for Hina!"

By the time the little Loli was able to catch up, she was already out of breath and almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

But after a while, she noticed the strangeness and asked strangely, "Why aren't you going in? Weren't you in a hurry just now?"

Will glanced down at her angrily but said nothing.

"Who are you guys?"

A crisp voice came from behind them.

When the two turned their heads, they saw a girl who was even younger than Hina standing there. 

The other party was holding a book in her hands. And although she was very young, it gave people a feeling of maturity. 

"Hello, Hina's name is Hina. What about you?"

Hina said hello very familiarly.

"Nico Robin!"

Robin was a little confused by Hina's strange self-introduction but answered nonetheless. 

Then she looked up at Will: "Uncle, are you from somewhere else?"

"Ah, who thought that after coming out of Impel down, I will be upgraded to an uncle!"

Will sighed mentally.

But with the appearance of Robin, the tense mood eased a lot. And in response he smiled lightly and asked her curiously,

"How do you know we're not from O'Hara?"

Robin pursed her lips slightly: "I know everyone from Ohara, but you are not among them. So naturally I know that you're not from Ohara!"

Will nodded: "Well, you're right, we did come from somewhere else."

Robin immediately raised her head proudly. 

"Can we go in?"

Will asked after a while. 

"Of course, but after entering, don't speak loudly, don't touch the books without permission and don't destroy the books!"

Robin explained to the two what to pay attention to.

Only then did Will and Hina walk into the tree of omniscience.

The moment they stepped inside, they were shocked when they saw the densely packed books.

Even the large libraries Will has seen in his previous life were not as good as this one.

"Oh my god, Hina is stunned, how did they do it?"

Robin explained from the side: "The tree of omniscience began to grow in Ohara thousands of years ago!"

"In the following years, scholars from all over the world settled here one after another."

"Since then, the number of scholars here has gradually increased, and they began to put the books they collected into the Tree of Omniscience, until it became what it is today. This is the result of the hard work of countless ancestors, and it cannot be established by any one generation."

Will sighed from the side: "It's really great, they have preserved a complete inheritance for mankind."

No matter which world you are in, the inheritance of civilization is very important, and these scholars have definitely done a wonderful work . 

It's a pity that for the sake of true knowledge, in the pursuit of the blank hundred years, the painstaking efforts of countless generations were ruined in the original plot. 

"Robin, are you back?"

A scholar saw Robin coming and said hello.

Robin also returned a broad smile.

"Well, I went to the beach to read and met these two guys on the way. Do you know where mother Lucy is?"

"I think she is in the basement!"

The scholar replied with a smile. 

Will: "..."

A stunned expression appeared on his face after hearing this. 

"cough!"

Will coughed lightly to hide his expression and looked at Robin anxiously: "Well, Robin, your mother's name is Lucy?"

Although Robin felt a little strange, but still smiled sweetly: "Of course, mother Lucy is very nice, I'll take you to meet her later if you want."

"That, that Lucy..."

Will tensed up a bit after hearing her answer. 

"You guys can look around here. In the meantime I'll go find Mother Lucy!"

Robin quickly ran into the basement after saying this. 

Standing in his place, Will's face kept changing again and again. He was already cursing Bullet in his heart.

"This bastard, how many things did he not explain to me? "

On the other hand, seeing Will's stunned appearance again, Hina tugged on his sleeve lightly. 

"Strange, what's wrong with you?"

Will took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. What should come always comes.

Although it's a little hard to believe that my my mother got remarried in my absence, but it's not like he can change anything, right? Probably? 

But thinking of this, he became nervous again and he still couldn't accept this new discovery. 

But he was finally broken out of his reverie by the shouting. 

"Hey Robin, slow down!"

"Hee hee, mother Lucy, I think you should start exercising regularly. Don't just stay below all the time, Or else your physique will become weaker!"

Two figures, one small and one big, came out of the basement.

At the moment when the four pair of eyes met, all the uneasiness in Will's heart disappeared as a bright smile appeared on his face. 

"Hi Lucy, I'm back!"

The woman named Lucy froze and then trembled.

The next moment, she covered her mouth with her hands, and tears began to flow out of her eyes.

Will walked over and hugged her gently.

"Lucy, I'm back!"

Fourteen years later, he finally reunited with his mother again!

When they parted, he was still ten years old.

If it wasn't for his special situation as a traverser, he might have died in that prison long ago.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Lucy said repeatedly while hugging him tightly. 

When Will disappeared without a word fourteen years ago, she was shocked and confused.

Even though he had been smart and precocious since he was a child, even if he left a message with Bullet that he would definitely return, she had mostly lost hope after a decade. 

But seeing him now, all her pent up emotions burst out of her heart. She cried for a long time before regaining her composure.

On the side Robin opened her mouth wide, watching this scene in disbelief.

She knew that Mama Lucy had a real son but she had never seen him. 

She always heard Lucy say how his son was and tell stories about him. 

When she was very young, she also heard about her stepbrother from the exercise maniac Bullet. 

There was always pride and admiration on his face whenever Bullet taled about him back then.

Since then, she has been curious about the person in their stories. 

The movement here quickly attracted the attention of other scholars too. 

The two parted, and Lucy stroked Will's face lightly.

For fourteen years, this face is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"You look quite handsome, unlike your father!"

Will also laughed and said, "of course I am handsome, thanks to your good genes!"

"Puff!"

Lucy laughed through her tears: "You guy, you have a glib tongue ever since you were a child."

Will just hummed in return. 

Finally Lucy wiped away her tears, and said softly,

"After so many years, you are already an adult!"

Subsequently Lucy looked at the other scholars proudly,

"See, this is my son. You nerds, take a good look!"

"Isn't he handsome? "

Everyone started to laugh after hearing her words and Will started laughing too. There was only one thought in his mind. 

He was finally home!
