Having an indestructible physical body.
Having Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Having fighting methods.
Those are the hardware requirement to become "Apex"!
Combat experience is the software requirement to become "Apex"!
Now--
With the help of the sixth talent - A Second Feels Like a Year, constantly supplementing his software requirements, and endlessly improving his software level, Rob believes that given enough time, he will definitely have no weaknesses!
Of course.
Rob now has almost zero flaws.
That's why he thought that after entering the New World, he would resolve his grievances with the Beasts Pirates, challenge Whitebeard, and take away the title of "World's Strongest Man" from him.
Tap tap--
Holding a glass of juice in hand.
Robin came behind Rob and fed him his drink.
She asked:
"Looking for Shanks and the others? Do you want their help? Indeed—whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates or the Beasts Pirates, you should not underestimate them! If you have the Red Hair Pirates to help you, it will be a lot easier!"
Hearing the words.
Rob shook his head, then turned to look at the others.
He said:
"No! Relying on others is always less reliable than relying on yourself! Moreover, owing too many favors is not good.
"This time - all the troubles will be solved by ourselves! Our strength is not weak anymore! And we will not go to him after entering the New World, right?"
"What if we wandered around for more than half a year in the New World? With the existence of the practice space, half a year is enough for you to grow to the point where you can protect yourself."
After hearing what Rob said.
Whether it's Robin, Uta, or Makino, they all nodded and fully agreed.
"Let's not talk about Makino's Flame-Flame Fruit!"
Rob sat cross-legged in front of Robin and Makino, and Uta climbed onto Rob's back with a smile.
He said:
"Robin, your Flower-Flower Fruit, I feel that the real awakening is not so far away! If you work hard, you may be able to complete the awakening of the fruit within this period of time!"
"When you finish awakening, I will help you remove the side effects of the Flower-Flower Fruit. Although you can't eat a second Devil Fruit for now, it will greatly enhance the potential and power of your Flower-Flower Fruit!"
"When the time comes, I will make you a seastone weapon that can be worn on your hand. With your Flower-Flower Fruit, it will be enough to make any capable person fear your existence."
Seastone weapons—
For example, seastone daggers, seastone gauntlets, seastone knuckles, etc. Weapons that fit Robin's martial arts fighting style can make any capable person frightened upon impact.
Moreover, the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit can be used to put seastone handcuffs on Devil Fruit users from a long distance!
Not to mention combat effectiveness.
Once Robin's fruit ability is awakened, and she learns to use her weapons efficiently, in front of most of the New World powerhouses who are Devil Fruit users, Robin's life-saving ability will be no problem at all.
Swish—
After hearing Rob's words, Robin's eyes lit up, and she said seriously:
"I know! Next - I will work harder, Oni-chan!"
Once the fruit's ability is awakened and the side effects are removed, she can not only ignore the side effects of seawater and seastone but also swim in the sea and take a good bath!
In the past, Oni seemed to have some ideas about doing happy things in the water, but because she couldn't soak in water for a long time, she couldn't succeed.
Now, there will be no problem!
At this moment, Robin is particularly determined to awaken her fruit ability. In her mind, the "water shock" in the bathroom and the "sea shock" in the future are no longer fantasies!
She is such a genius!
Unaware of Robin's little thoughts.
Rob's eyes turned to Makino.
Laughing again:
"The adult version's Potential Potion, Body Training Potion, and the ever-improving Body Training Technique are very effective! Makino's physical strength has been raised to an acceptable level! At least she can almost awaken the two types of Haki."
"After you awaken Haki, you can practice "Haki Practice 8.0", which will better strengthen your body, increase your Haki, and temper the quality of Haki."
"At that time, Makino's strength will be even stronger."
Makino nodded with a smile on her face.
She said:
"I will work hard too! Rob-kun."
Uta hugged Rob's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
She asked:
"Ni-chan, what about me?"
Raising his hand to rub Uta's little head.
Rob smiled and said:
"The Sing-Sing Fruit's ability is also very powerful. Our 'Little Diva' has now developed - 'Hypnosis Voice', 'Radical Song', 'Rebel Song', and the strongest 'Musical Puppet'! Very impressive!"
"However, I think that the power of 'Little Diva' Uta should be to use singing to bring comfort to your fans and make them feel happy instead of fighting!"
Uta's Sing-Sing Fruit is very powerful.
It can even be said to be quite formidable, not to mention that Uta can pull all the spirits who hear her singing into an illusory world.
Let's just talk about what Uta has developed—
Hypnosis Music that can make people fall asleep after listening to it, Radical Music that can make people go into a state of rage, Rebellious Music that can reverse the hearts of enemies who are not mentally strong, and Puppet Music that forcibly controls people weaker than Uta.
These four skills alone are already quite remarkable.
After all, the current Uta can also be regarded as a "monster."
"Hee hee hee…"
After hearing Rob's compliment, Uta had a smile on her face:
"Okay ni-chan!"
Hearing the words.
Rob squeezed Uta's chubby little cheek.
Then looked at them:
"Well! Although I mentioned your strength, I still want to say - you can pursue your own strength, but there is no need to work so hard!"
"Strength, fighting power, etc., you can do whatever you want! I will protect your future and your dreams! There is no need to work so hard. There are many things in life, all of which are worth pursuing!"
These words—
Made Robin, Uta, and Makino all nod and take it to heart!
In fact—
For their own strength, the limit they pursue is to achieve self-protection and not cause trouble to Rob!
After chatting for a while about their respective growth and the arrangements for entering the New World, the four of them changed the topic, not thinking about these unimportant things, but looking forward to their trip to the New World with great anticipation!
The world is big…
The last time Robin, Uta, and Makino were in the New World, they only visited some islands there!
There are still many places in the New World that are worth visiting.
Half a day later—
In a calm New World sea where the sun is shining and there is no wind.
Crash!
The Angel floated up from the sea water at a leisurely pace, and finally appeared on the sea surface steadily. There was no wind, and no sea power was used. It naturally floated on the sea surface and docked motionless!
"Huh? Is it such good weather?"
After taking a look at the surrounding environment and feeling the sunshine, Rob had a smile on his face:
"Really not bad!"
On the seas other than the Calm Belt, it is quite rare to encounter such a completely windless climate, especially such windless weather when the sun is just right is even rarer.
Today—
Another beautiful day!
"There is no wind today—"
After feeling the moisture in the air, Rob turned his head to look at Robin, Uta, and Makino on the deck.
He said:
"Everyone can do whatever they want."
Hearing the words.
The trio responded with a smile:
Seeing that the three of them were doing their own things, Rob brought a soft beach chair from the cabin, propped up a parasol, and lay down leisurely. Lifting his finger, he tapped his eyebrow and directly activated the sixth talent—A Second Feels Like a Year, entering the practice space to experience the horrific life-and-death struggle like hell.
Wanting to challenge Whitebeard, solve the Beasts Pirates, and other problems, Rob just wants more "apex" opponents to give him combat experience!
Now in Rob's mind, the only two "apex" of the sea—Rayleigh and Vice Admiral Garp—have been brushed over and over again by him.
Thanks to the practice space, it can keep pace with the times and update the strength of the simulated object according to his growth value, continuously strengthening the simulated Rayleigh and Garp. Otherwise, these two people might not be able to give him much pressure to improve.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
After entering the New World, this time—
Rob did not choose the route to the Raijin Island that he had already been to but chose to go another route, passing through several uninhabited islands and some countries that he had not been to before!
During this process, he accidentally got a piece of poneglyph again!
Along the way, although he did not encounter the situation of being approached by some big pirate groups in the early stages of the previous visit, he did encounter many "sea express" pirate groups who delivered "treasures" to their door.
Material and income.
Rob and his crew have always been so steady!
Into the fourth month of the New World.
On some winter island in the New World—
Crash!
The Angel was sailing close to the snow-covered island.
Above deck—
Rob was still dressed casually and simply, with just a coat on the outside. Robin, Uta, and Makino behind him were all bundled up in thick down jackets, with cute hats on their heads.
