"Rest well!"
After feeding Makino, Rob placed a kiss on her forehead.
Then he said:
"I'll be here today!"
Hearing Rob's words, Makino nodded lightly:
"Um!"
Quickly, after closing her eyes, Makino slowly fell asleep.
After Makino fell asleep, Rob looked at her with gentle eyes for a while, then sat down on a chair in his room, reading today's latest newspaper headlines—
[New World War! Beasts Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates clash! Although they lost the title of "Strongest," Whitebeard is still the "Uncrowned King" and "Living Legend" of the old era!]
[…]
[A large number of pirates tried to challenge the "strongest man in the sea" - Rob! But they were all defeated by Robin's sister "Princess of Senju" - Robin!]
[…]
[Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Logia Flame-Flame Fruit, Paramecia Flower-Flower Fruit, Paramecia Sing-Sing Fruit! The strength of the Rob siblings is beyond everyone's imagination!]
[…]
There was a lot of news in the newspapers!
But the most eye-catching one was naturally the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. There was a fierce battle not long ago. Kaido brought his troops to take Whitebeard's head.
But it took him more than two months to find Whitebeard, so his injury had recovered, and there was no doubt that Kaido was beaten up by Whitebeard in this battle!
At the same time, Whitebeard used these two months to fight one war after another to announce to the whole world that although he did not have the title of "the strongest," he was the "uncrowned king" and a "living legend" of the old times!
The Whitebeard Pirates are still the well-deserved true overlord on this sea, and they are definitely overlords that no one can easily shake.
Even if Rob, who has taken away Whitebeard's "strongest" name, wants to shake the dominance of the Whitebeard Pirates, it is still very difficult!
Because the reason why the overlords of the sea are overlords, apart from their personal strength, their own power is also extremely important.
Even under certain special circumstances, the person known as the overlord of the sea only needs to have appeal and be able to attract attention in front of him; he doesn't even need strong strength.
For example, a special Four Emperors eleven years later—
Buggy the Star Clown!
Other than that, it's Robin's actions.
Maybe this little girl wants to have fun, or wants to match Rob's reputation. Anyway, no matter Robin's reason, in the past two months, Robin has been very active!
Possessing no side effects, and having strengthened her Flower-Flower Fruit ability.
Even among those who came to challenge Rob, there were those with a bounty of more than 500 million berries, considered great pirates in the New World.
In the face of Robin's absolute control and strong strength, whether it's a one-on-one or a group fight, no one is her match!
Once on an island, Robin used a technique—Mil Fleur: Senju Forest, instantly wiping out a pirate with a 700 million berry bounty and hundreds of crew members.
Since then—
Robin has earned the title of "Princess of Senju."
Her name reminds Rob of a certain fair-skinned and beautiful "legendary big fat sheep" in the village next door! (T/N: Do you know?????)
Because of Robin's activity, all four people on the Angel were accounted for, and their Devil Fruits were all exposed. The configuration of two Logias and two Paramecias scared many people.
Looking back, except for Uta, who is still young and whose combat power is unknown as there is almost no record of fighting, Makino, who has the Flame-Flame Fruit, is also quite powerful!
Four people—
One "apex" of the ocean, two can be regarded as "monsters" no matter what, and the last one is small, but definitely a "master" combat power configuration!
All the people on the sea, all the powers, suddenly discovered that if the combined combat power of the four siblings is considered, they are a powerful group at the level of the sea overlords.
Horrible.
Pretty scary!
It's just that the deterrent force of the four to ordinary people is weaker than that of the three overlords of the New World. After all, they are just an ordinary executive group with great power!
In the eyes of ordinary people, they are always different from fierce and cruel pirates!
People have this mentality—
When the power is out of control, they will be afraid and even try to destroy it; but when the power is so huge that they can't destroy it, they will show their strong and flattering side!
So most ordinary people are subconsciously thinking:
"Fortunately, Rob and his siblings are not pirates!"
What humans are best at is—
Finding weaknesses in those who can be bullied, and recognizing strengths in those who cannot be resisted!
Snap!
After reading all the news, Rob put down the newspaper.
With emotion, he said:
"The only thing left to do now is to find all the poneglyphs, fulfill Robin's dream, and then Uta's dream of becoming the world's number one singer!"
Robin's dream.
Uta's dream.
These are all things to do!
As for the grievances with the Beasts Pirates, it's just a secondary matter.
Of course, solving the grievances with the Beasts Pirates cannot be hasty.
That would be a war—
Robin and the others will definitely want to join the battle. Although Rob is confident that he can put Kaido on the ground and make him dare not be presumptuous in front of them again!
But the other Beasts Pirates are formidable enemies for Robin and the others, so they need more preparation.
So Rob intends to let Robin and Makino grow a little bit more, at least give them two more powerful fruits each to enhance their combat effectiveness.
After thinking about the next plan, Rob raised his finger, casually tapped his eyebrows, and directly activated the sixth talent—A second feels like an year, once again entering the practice space to develop the ability to match the Op-Op Fruit.
Although he doesn't like to use Devil Fruit abilities in battle, the awakening of the Op-Op Fruit's ability is something he must complete. The "Perennial Youth Operation" is what he must perform on Robin, Uta, and Makino!
In order to awaken the Op-Op Fruit as soon as possible, Rob has devoted most of his energy to the Op-Op Fruit recently.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye—
Half a year has passed.
In this half year, the Angel carried Rob and the others, and they continued sailing freely in the New World, stopping on various islands. During this period, they found two more poneglyphs!
At the same time—
A major personnel change occurred at Marine Headquarters: the former Admiral, Sengoku, who has been managing the Marine for several years, officially succeeded the position of Fleet Admiral.
At the same time, three new Admirals of Headquarters were promoted—
Logia Lava-Lava Fruit ability user, Akainu - Sakazuki, Logia Glint-Glint Fruit ability user, Kizaru - Borsalino, and Logia Ice-Ice Fruit ability user, Aokiji - Kuzan!
Shortly after the three Logia abilities took office as Admirals, with Sengoku's order, they quickly returned to the first half of the Grand Line's "Paradise" from the New World, and swept away the many big pirates entrenched there.
Marine's already high reputation directly reached a new peak under this wave of operations, metaphorically being called the true overlord of the sea!
Another two months passed.
This day—
On a small island in the New World, Rob is sitting in a place with a good view, holding a newly acquired newspaper in his hand, and watching the headlines on the front page.
The content of the news is not a big deal, just an announcement that two new Seven Warlords of the Sea are in place!
"Jinbei and Boa Hancock?"
He looked at the two photos in the newspaper.
Rob strokes his chin:
"Let's not talk about Jinbei! It's about time for him to lead the Sun Pirates and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! But Boa Hancock becoming a Shichibukai now is much later than I remember."
"She should be twenty years old now! If I remember correctly, she became a Warlord when she was eighteen! Something must have happened, resulting in this difference in the plot."
After thinking about it for a while, Rob didn't pay much attention to this matter.
But looking at the photo of the 20-year-old female Empress, surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Worthy of being the number one beauty, and she even ate the Love-Love Fruit... This beauty is truly top-notch!!"
If so—
The Seven Warlords of the Sea now have five members.
Perhaps in the near future, Bartholomew Kuma will join the Warlords. Then, except for Doflamingo, who was killed by him, all the original Seven Warlords of the Sea will be in place!
Snap
Closing the newspaper in his hand, Rob looked at the beautiful scenery ahead:
"Now what should I do? I don't plan to trouble Kaido for the time being. Should I go to Vegapunk to learn his skills?"
He pondered for a moment.
Rob stroked his chin:
"Tonight, I'll discuss it with them!"
Man-made Devil Fruit technology, artificial humans, and Seraphim technology are all top-notch advancements that Rob wants to get his hands on. In the future, they will be able to affect the balance of power on the sea to a certain extent!
This period of time—
The four of them have nothing else to do except look for the poneglyphs.
Maybe they can also go to Egghead Island to find the genius scientist, Dr. Vegapunk, and learn about his innovations.
The earlier they master those technologies, the sooner they can start experimenting and equipping their own people with the advancements!
