Sea Circle Calendar, 1497.
West Blue,
By the shores of Ohara--
Rob slowly woke up from his coma, with blank eyes:
"Here it is…"
He found himself lying under a small tree, and looking up, he could see a blue sea in full view.
Sitting up, Rob's expression froze:
"My body... how did it become so small?"
Now, Rob suddenly noticed that his body had become quite small, as if he was a four or five-year-old kid!
Suddenly, Rob thought of something and quickly opened his pants. When he saw the cute little earthworm, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Very good-- Brother is still here!
"Traveled?"
Frowning, Rob was puzzled:
"Or... someone fed me a little rejuvenation pill similar to Conan? And moved me to the seaside, or... threw me on a certain isolated island?"
Shaking his head, Rob thought that he had a great possibility of crossing over!
After all, let alone whether there is such a small rejuvenation pill, if someone transferred him to the seaside or an isolated island, it would be faster to throw him directly into the sea to feed the fish!
He checked his body a little bit and found a diamond-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.
Rob was sure—He was physically smaller! It's not that the soul has reached someone else's body. That's good, or use comfort for your own body!
Standing up, Rob intended to understand the current situation first—You can't just be a headless fly running around in the unknown world!
At this moment, a voice sounded in Rob's mind:
[You have crossed over! You, rejuvenated, have unlocked your first talent—born strong!]
Hearing the voice in his head, Rob was taken aback:
"Is it really a crossover?"
Subsequently, Rob frowned, wanting to feel the difference in himself!
Only, soon he found that he seemed to be no different from before!
"Didn't you say you were born strong? Why does it feel like nothing has changed!"
Pondering, Rob decided to try to trigger this talent.
At this moment, a childish voice came:
"Are you awake?"
Hearing the words, Rob turned around and looked behind him. There was a little girl in old clothes but well washed, holding a jug of water and some fruits in her hand, walking towards him!
The language was not Rob's native language, but the language of the small island nation! Surprisingly, Rob, who just traveled over, was able to understand it. It seemed that he had mastered the language of the small island country instinctively and was no longer limited to the level of "yamete kudasai" that he knew before.
Looking at the harmless little girl, Rob responded:
"Excuse me, who are you? Do you know me? Why am I here?"
Coming to Rob, the little girl opened her mouth and replied:
"You were washed up on the beach by the waves, and I saw you! Then I rescued you! So I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you are here!"
The girl didn't answer Rob's question about his identity, but she did respond to his other questions.
A clear expression appeared on Rob's face. He looked at the alert little girl in front of him.
Rob thanked her and said, "Thank you for saving me! My name is Rob... that's all I remember now! I don't remember anything else!"
Although there was no need to hide too much from a little girl, he knew that children could easily form stereotypes. So, a lot of information could not be disclosed. Moreover, the voice in his mind had said he crossed over. For his own safety, he needed to conceal everything before the time travel.
After introducing himself a bit, Rob asked, "Can you tell me where this is?"
The little girl looked at Rob with pity and said, "It seems that you should have amnesia! This is West Blue's island of archaeologists - Ohara! My name is Nico Robin! You should be hungry, here's some water and fruits, please enjoy, you are welcome!"
Gollum—
Just as Robin finished speaking, Rob's stomach growled loudly in hunger. Not being polite, Rob received the fruit and water handed over by Robin and began to fill his stomach.
At the same time, he was extremely confused in his heart: "Nico Robin? Ohara? West Blue? One Piece World!"
With this little information, Rob directly deduced which world he had traveled to. As a fake otaku who watched some anime to relax in his spare time, Rob knew a lot about the plots. Knowing the plot gave Rob a certain peace of mind. At least, it wouldn't be so dark that he knew nothing.
Suddenly, while eating fruit, Rob was shocked. His eyes flashed with seriousness: "Robin's hometown, Ohara, will be completely destroyed by the Buster Call launched by Spandam when she was very young because of the study of the historical text. Everyone will be killed, and she will be the only one left alive!"
Da da da—
While eating, Rob banged his head, trying to remember: "I don't know what year it is now, but Robin was wanted when she was eight years old. That means Ohara will be destroyed when she is eight years old! It doesn't matter if I don't know the exact time! Just knowing how old Robin is now will help!"
Thinking of this, Rob looked up at Robin, with doubt in his eyes: "Robin... how old are you? Should I call you sister?"
Robin froze for a moment, then grinned: "In two days, I'll be turning five! What about you, Rob?"
Almost five years old. In other words, there were still three years before Ohara would be destroyed. He had three years to gain the power to leave Ohara!
Feeling slightly more stable, Rob looked at Robin: "I'm five years old! So, I'm older than you! Robin!"
Although he was already very old, having rejuvenated through time travel, he decided to play along.
