On top of the Angel.
After counting the windfall this time.
Rob looked at the Eternal Pose in his hand:
"In two more days, we should be able to reach Foodvalten Island, right? I don't know how the live broadcast that Morgans wants to prepare is going!"
Earlier, Morgans said he wanted to live broadcast his fight with Whitebeard, and Rob directly agreed.
Now--
Receiving the news that he was waiting for him on Foodvalten Island, Rob had already headed for Foodvalten several days ago, but it still needs two more days!
Hearing Rob's words.
Robin came to his side and said:
"Oni-chan, is the live broadcast really good? Won't this reveal the your strength and your trump card?"
Hearing Robin's words.
Both Makino and Uta looked at Rob with worried eyes. In their opinion, a strong man should have his own tricks. If it is exposed by the live broadcast, they believe it will be easy to be targeted.
"Hahaha..."
Rob laughed out loud:
"Don't worry! My trump cards will never be exposed!"
Hearing the words.
Robin, Uta, and Makino all tilted their heads and looked at Rob suspiciously.
Grin.
Rob is quite confident:
"Because I don't have any trump cards at all! Hahaha..."
Hearing Rob's proud and confident words that he had no trump card at all, Robin, Uta, and Makino were all speechless for a moment. After the corners of their mouths twitched, there was a smile on their faces.
Look at them.
Rob smiled and said:
"The reason why the 'apex' of the sea is the 'apex' is because they have no weaknesses no matter how you look at it! The trump cards you are talking about refer to powerful moves, right?"
"But think carefully about my moves--
"Ordinary slash, then the slash with Armament Haki, the next level is the slash with Conqueror's Haki, and the next level is the slash with Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability!"
"In the final analysis, the so-called unique moves and ultimate skills are almost all about increasing the power and speed of the output, the amount and strength of Haki, and the upper limit of the fruit ability. In essence, it is still just an ordinary slash or punch!"
There was a pause.
Rob gestured with a sword in his hand.
He opened his mouth and said:
"For example, as you all know, and people all over the world know, my ultimate move - the Phantomless Sword!"
"It's a combination of my own Haki and Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities, plus my ultimate strength and speed, so I can swing a normal sword! Or use the fruit ability to condense the General Thunder, the complete form - Thunder Emperor, to swing the sword!"
"But the reason why my power can reach the level respected by the world is because my understanding of sword skills has far surpassed everyone in the sea. I can sense the breadth of all things better than anyone, so the slashing is more powerful!"
swish
He raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Rob's eyes are very serious and confident:
"In other words—whether it's martial arts, swordsmanship, Haki, or the fruit ability itself, the most important thing is to grasp the foundation of one's own ability! When the foundation reaches a good level, just hitting casually is what you call the trump card!"
"At that time, I naturally don't care about the exposure of the so-called trump cards. Because even if everyone knows, my normal attacks are far superior to the basic strength of most people in the Grand Line, which is enough to make them flinch!"
Pause briefly.
Rob spoke again:
"And this is the height of the 'peak' that ordinary people can't reach at all!"
Hearing Rob's words.
Robin, Uta, and Makino all tilted their heads cutely, looking incomprehensible.
But soon, they came back to their senses:
"That is to say—Oni-chan doesn't have any trump cards at all, so there is no need to worry about the trump cards being exposed, right? If this is the case, then there is no problem with the live broadcast!"
Looking at the understanding of the three of Robin.
Rob opened his mouth, then gave a thumbs up.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Yes, it is like that!"
Quickly.
At noon, Robin and Makino went to prepare lunch, while Rob and Uta, brother and sister, were on the deck, playing!
In the blink of an eye.
Two days passed.
On the island of Foodvalten—
On the other side of town, far away, inside the camp of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Gulp!
Gulp!
Gulp!
Whitebeard with a captain's hat and a coat on his head drank from a gourd of wine.
With a bored face, he asked:
"That brat, hasn't he come yet? I'm already getting impatient! Marco, is there any news about that brat? Where is he? He shouldn't be afraid to come!"
Hearing Whitebeard's words, the cadres and members of the surrounding Whitebeard Pirates were taken aback.
Then they burst out laughing:
"It's normal if he doesn't dare to come! Dad, you are the worst!"
"Hahaha... After all, they're just a few kids who aren't even in their twenties. They've never seen the cruelty of the New World before, so it's only natural for them to be afraid of Dad!"
"Hey, hey, don't look down on him like that! No matter how you say it, he's recognized as the 'world's number one swordsman'!"
"Chi—that title is very overrated!"
...
Putting down the wine bottle in his hand, Marco, the captain of the first division, stood up and said:
"Don't underestimate Rob! Regardless of his age, if he can defeat Hawkeye and become the 'world's number one swordsman,' his strength is indeed worthy of recognition!"
Hearing Marco's words, the Whitebeard Pirates laughed out loud again.
Looking at Whitebeard, Marco continued:
"It should be today, or tomorrow, that Rob and his party of three will arrive here! Dad, are you ready?"
Whitebeard grinned at Marco's words, with a wild smile on his face:
"Gurarara... Do I still need to prepare? I am Whitebeard!!"
After hearing what Whitebeard said, Marco smiled helplessly, and the cadres and members of the Whitebeard Pirates around him also laughed, looking at the tall Whitebeard admiringly.
Especially—
Among the crowd, there was a man with curly black hair, dark skin, a strong figure, and a very simple-looking man—Marshall D. Teach.
This guy has not revealed his ambitions at all. In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, he is seen as a good guy with a good reputation. Even if he can't find the Dark-Dark Fruit, he will be a good guy for life!
The highest state of an actor is to act to the point where he himself thinks he is really a good person!
Half an hour passed...
Just when the people of the Whitebeard Pirates were gathering together—
Pere~Pere~Pere~Pere~
The Den Den Mushi in Marco's hand rang, and after he glanced at it, he answered it directly:
"What's the matter? What's the situation on the other side of the town?"
The next moment.
The voice of a member of the Whitebeard Pirates came from the Den Den Mushi:
"Captain Marco, there it is! The Platinum Angel appeared at the port of the town, and that Rob appeared... Where did he go? So fast! Captain Marco, that Rob is heading directly towards the camp!"
High speed!
swish
Hearing the report, Marco stood up directly, his eyes became very serious, and he looked at Whitebeard above the main seat:
"Dad!"
thump
Standing up.
Whitebeard had a fighting smile on his face, and a red light flashed in his eyes. His powerful Observation Haki directly enveloped the entire Foodvalten Island, instantly locating Rob's presence as he approached.
"A person is coming!"
With his head lowered slightly, Whitebeard grinned:
"That brat has quite the aura! The smell of a real sea beast, it seems his strength is not just for show! He's coming alone, wanting to fight one-on-one! Gurarara..."
Hearing Whitebeard's words, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates stood up, all with serious expressions on their faces.
Marco even opened his mouth and said:
"Dad, do we need to make a move first to see if he is qualified to fight you?"
Swish—
With a big wave of Whitebeard's hand, he directly rejected Marco and the many officials and members of the Whitebeard Pirates who were eager to intercept Rob.
He loudly said:
"A junior who is less than 20 years old, launching a one-on-one fight with me! If I need help, then my old face will be disgraced on the sea from now on. Do you want that?"
"Hold my beer!" - joke
"Bring me my sword!"
Whitebeard's eyes sank as someone brought out his supreme blade—Murakumogiri.
Whitebeard, carrying Murakumogiri, walked directly outside the camp:
"In this battle, no one is allowed to make a move until the winner is decided and the battle is completely over. This is the captain's order! This is a one-on-one duel that will be broadcast live across the sea. Don't embarrass me! Do you understand?"
While speaking, Whitebeard's gaze was still looking into the sky, where a news coo, holding a live Den Den Mushi and a relay Den Den Mushi, was broadcasting the entire Foodvalten Island.
This was something Whitebeard had permitted when Morgans contacted him before, after negotiating and paying some price.
Of course, whether these news birds and live Den Den Mushis could withstand the impact of the battle between Whitebeard and Rob would depend on Morgans' own capabilities.
Moreover, for this live broadcast, Whitebeard would get a share of the live broadcast revenue. After all, one of Whitebeard's hobbies was saving money!
At this moment, upon hearing the order from Captain Whitebeard, all the cadres and members of the Whitebeard Pirates, including Marco, responded with serious faces, suppressing their fighting spirit one by one.
They just watched the burly figure of Whitebeard walk out of the camp.
