For the first time, one-piece readers from the four seas are discovering that time is very slow while waiting for the next update from the manga.
But even so, the much-anticipated day finally came.
A week after the publication of the syrup village arc, the Straw Hat crew has finally reached their next destination, the Baratie arc!
As soon as the fourth volume came out, the red light in the art store beacon turned green, which was Rob's way of announcing the release of the new update.
And without any surprises, the four stores were packed with hundreds of people addicted to one-piece, minutes after the update signal was issued.
It was still morning so Rob was in bed with his pregnant wife and he was controlling everything on the storefront of the system, from issuing the new update in reasonable quantities to announcing it by the green light, the system was really cool. Even he doesn't need to going to is stores in order to make money.
Rob himself doesn't want to see the messy situation right now inside his stores, he already knows how bad the situation there is.
It is good that his store is so solid that no harm can be done to him or he will need to waste time teaching these uncivilized people the culture of human ranks and waiting outside for their turn.
Now all he had to do was hug his sleeping wife more deeply and wait for the rain of art points and the Exp, that would come from the four seas.
As for Olvia, she had already read Baratie arc the day before it came out, she had a deal with Rob about this some time ago.
Rob couldn't refuse her when she asked him for the update of the chapters before he put it in his stores.
She was his beloved wife, how could he refuse her!
Since she was a pregnant woman she was too emotional, seeing Nami have to betray the crew made her feel too hurt, when he saw her reaction to something so simple, he didn't know how she would react when she saw Robin's past in the future chapters.
Rob felt his heart pound in terror at the thought of that.
...
It wasn't only Olvia who felt pain over Nami's betrayal of the crew but all one-piece readers who had already read the new update.
Everything in Baratie arc was perfect, except for this point, where they wanted to strangle the author, why not just let her travel with them in peace? Apparently, she wants it too!
All their hope was now on Luffy who didn't lose his confidence and determination to get Nami back, since Luffy wants to get her back they are confident that will happen, but they are still worried that the damn author will have another opinion.
The first emergence of a big boss like Shichibukai and the best swordsman in the world, Dracul Mihawk, was like a nuclear bomb that blows events away and blows the minds of readers.
His fight with Zoro who couldn't even be called a fight but rather bullying made the ardent blood of the fans cold, the author came back to remind them of the cruelty of the world and that their dreams are still far... Too far , that it seems impossible to reach them.
However, it was the end of the fight in which Zoro didn't die, and Zoro's promise, and Mihawk respect, and his choice of Zoro as a potential opponent were among the good points that released the depression of the readers.

Mihawk: I'm Dracule Mihawk!
Mihawk: It's too early for you to die.
Mihawk: Get to know yourself.
Usopp: Hurry up! Rapidly! Put medicine on the wounds!
Mihawk: Know your world!
Mihawk: And be the strongest, Roronoa!
Mihawk: No matter how many months and years pass, I'll still be standing here on top of the world waiting for you!
Mihawk: So make your way with this terrible determination and try to defeat my sword!
Mihawk: Try to outsmart me, Roronoa!
....

Zoro: L... Luffy, c... can you hear me?
Luffy: Yes!
Sanji:...
Zoro: I apologize for worried you... I know... that if I don't become the most strongest swordsman in the world, this will embarrass you!
Zoro: Agh!
Yosako: Brother! Please don't talk!
Zoro: I swear!
Zoro: I won't lose again!
Zoro: Until the day I fight him and win...
Zoro: I swear!
Mihawk: {Smile}
Luffy: {Smile}
Zoro: I won't lose again!
Zoro: Do you have a problem with this, Pirate King?!
Luffy: Hehehehe! Never!

==========
This passage in particular made readers explode with awe.
Some even thought that Mihawk is actually the best swordsman in the world right now!
After all, the inhabitants of the four seas were largely ignorant of what was happening in the Grand Line.
They can no longer differentiate between what is real and what is not.
The black sword Yoru, used by Mihawk, is already recognized as one of the 12 Supreme Swords, just as Rob drew it is indeed real, but its whereabouts are unknown, the last time it appeared was 50 years ago.
Only a few people in a spot in the world had seen the black sword at yet because at this very moment Mihawk who was still 14 years old began the journey of reaching the best swordsman in the world.
Rob was wondering how young Mihawk would react when he saw that his dream had already been fulfilled in the manga.
It's going to be kind of interesting.
Even the appearance of new crew member Sanji didn't forget the audience in the disappointment of Nami's escape and her theft of the ship.
But unsentimental audience like Clover and his crew of archaeologists from Ohara. Trafalgar D. Water Chris of Flevance. Portgas D. Rogue of Baterilla. And the Five Elders of the World Government. They were most interested in Sanji and Zeff's dream of finding the All Blue.
This was something they hadn't heard of for the first time...
All Blue is the legendary sea that caused everything in the past.
The reason for the appearance of "One Piece" itself!
Those people who read one-piece manga in order to smell information about "One Piece" itself, are more interested in the manga than ever.
The five elders of the World Government became like a cat whose tail had been poked at this moment.
Not only that but how the Shichibukai plan was discovered, which only they themselves know about! For a moment the five elders doubted that there was a spy among them, but this impossible assumption quickly vanished, the Shichibukai plan, just a forced idea, they weren't even planning to use it right now, it was a trump card they were planning to use if the pirates became too much and spread into the sea like the epidemic, as it has happened several times in the past until now.
"This person knows about All Blue! This means that the name of One Piece is not just a coincidence!"
Now the world government has officially become interested in this book.
...
In a dark hall in the middle of a large red throne surrounded by a large number of swords.
A tall and dark figure opened its eyes that were like waves of blood, the void shaking as soon as the figure opened its eyes.
A interested smile appeared on his or her face.
In his hand was an open book on the page of Sanji's declaration of his dream.
