Above the battlefield.
The blade of Shinto clashed fiercely with Hassaikai.
After a powerful shockwave erupted, Rob and Kaido, who had exited his Dragon Form and was dripping with blood and had several pieces of flesh chopped off, entered into a wrestling state!
Compared to Kaido, who is obviously seriously injured, Rob's body has no other injuries except for the marks left from the fierce battle.
"The World's Strongest Man" - Rob, and "The World's Strongest Creature" - Kaido, at this moment, it is already very obvious which of these two is stronger.
Obviously--
Compared to Rob, who is overpowering, even the skilled hexagonal fighter teacher is no longer a match for him.
And the title of "Strongest creature" will be taken away by Rob from Kaido after this battle!
Future Rob -
In the real sense, he will become the "strongest" on the sea, having collected many "strongest" titles!
While wrestling, a red light flashed in Rob's eyes, and then he glanced towards the nearby town with a serious look in his eyes!
Similarly, Kaido, who was seriously injured, also turned his attention to that direction, then looked away.
The strength on the mace increased, and Kaido directly relied on the power transmitted from the sword in Rob's hand, retreating like lightning. After retreating a hundred meters, he stopped and stood there panting!
Immediately afterward, Kaido looked in the direction of the town, his face slightly grim. With his Observation Haki, he could naturally sense the situation of the Beasts Pirates under his command at this moment.
They've been wiped out!
Whether it was "Drought" Jack, or "Conflagration" King, they had all been defeated, and so had other small cadres and officers, not to mention the members below who were considered elites but were actually minions.
Worse still,
The Red-Haired Pirates are here!
Coincidentally.
The timing of the Red-Haired Pirates' arrival was so convenient that Kaido didn't believe it was a coincidence!
"I see--"
After pondering for a moment, Kaido recalled that when he was about to attack Rob and his siblings, the Red-Haired Pirates directly blocked the way and threatened him for two months.
Kaido suddenly felt he had grasped the truth.
With an extremely unhappy face, he said:
"The Red-Haired asked you to be his helper!"
"Just like back then, when you asked the Red-Haired to help hold back my main force! No wonder you came directly to me and then brought three people to fight me!"
The mace hit the ground heavily.
Kaido looked at Rob and said mockingly:
"The so-called 'World's Strongest' is just a dog that listens to others! Is Red-Haired your master, Rob?"
Rob's sword turned, and he casually held it in his hand.
Looking at Kaido, he replied:
"Whether you believe it or not, this is just a coincidence! I came to you with only two purposes - the first is to settle past grievances; the second is to get something!"
"Even if you didn't show up here, I would have gone to Wano to find you, so it has nothing to do with the Red-Haired Pirates! They didn't ask me to take action against you!"
"And I think the current Red-Haired Pirates don't need to ask me to help, they are enough to deal with your Beasts Pirates!"
Hearing Rob's words, Kaido's face darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just stood there, letting his body bleed profusely. He didn't attack, but he didn't choose to escape either.
Escape.
Given his acting style, it's not impossible to do it!
But the problem is,
Can Kaido escape?
It was impossible for Rob to let him leave so easily, and if he left, King and Jack, the two most important subordinates under his command, would be gone.
So--
Even if he could escape, he couldn't because of the large number of people!
thud
thud
thud
There was a sound of footsteps.
With a sharp smile on his face, Shanks walked directly to the other side, glanced at Rob and Kaido, who were confronting each other in the field, and after seeing the marks on the two of them, a bright light flashed in his eyes!
The "World's Strongest Creature" in the legendary "one-on-one" battles of the sea—Kaido of the Beasts—was in bad shape, and the injuries on his body were obvious.
However, Rob, the "World's Strongest," who fought with him, only had some traces of fighting and didn't look harmed.
In this situation--
It is obvious who is stronger and who has the upper hand in the battle.
"I hope I didn't disturb the mood of the two of you!"
With a smile on his face, Shanks pressed his right hand on the handle of his sword Gryphon and spoke casually.
Eyes on the redhead.
Rob frowned and then glanced at Kaido, whose expression was extremely serious. After a moment of thought, he made his decision.
The blade in his hand swirled.
Rob sheathed his sword, then turned around and walked towards the town. At the same time, he said:
"In this battle, I've achieved all my goals, and I'm no longer interested! Kaido, the reputation of 'strongest creature' on your head, I claim it!"
"If you have enough confidence in your strength in the future, you can come to me!"
As he spoke, Rob took a step, passed by Shanks, and headed directly towards the town. Whether Shanks and Kaido continued to fight or chose another way to resolve their conflict, it had nothing to do with Rob.
"Thank you, Rob!"
As Rob passed him, Shanks thanked him.
Hearing the words, Rob, who probably knew why he was being thanked, just nodded casually and left without saying anything.
Shanks is only twenty-nine years old now, and his physical strength is still not quite at the peak compared to Kaido. But even now, with the weakened Kaido, he was confident!
As for not taking advantage of others? Please! The war between two major powers is not a trivial matter, it will really kill people. If there is such a good opportunity to beat Kaido, Shanks will not mind fighting Kaido directly!
Now--
For Rob's choice to stop and leave, neither Shanks nor Kaido chose to stop him. While Shanks wasn't worried that Rob would attack him, he did not want to fight a restrained Kaido. Rob leaving was beneficial for Shanks.
And for Kaido, it was even better. There was only Shanks now, and even though Kaido had a lot of injuries, he still dared to fight Shanks!
Not long after Rob left, the battle between Kaido and Shanks broke out directly. The violent battle fluctuations were terrifying!
Now the strength of Shanks...
Although Shanks has just stepped into the "apex" of the sea, he has thoroughly reached this level. Naturally, he is no longer weak!
Kaido's battle—
I'm afraid that the possibility of being beaten is even greater if the fight continues to the end!
But with Kaido's wit and cunning, after Rob completely leaves, he will definitely find a chance to escape, and it is even possible for him to take King and Jack with him, especially since Rob had no intention of taking their lives!
Back in the ruined town.
After greeting Beckman, Rob collected a lot of blood and pieces of flesh from King and took Jack's blood as well.
Having obtained what he wanted, Rob didn't intend to stay any longer. He took Robin, Uta, and Makino back to the Angel and left the island directly.
After half an hour.
The Angel sailed forward with the wind and waves.
And at this moment, on the Angel...
In the research room that Rob had specially built for himself, in each of the cultivation tanks, there were pieces of flesh cut off from Kaido, and pieces of flesh taken from King by Robin!
Aside from the pieces of flesh—
There were also several jars of blood from Kaido, King, and Jack—a total of eleven jars, with one jar belonging to Kaido, three jars belonging to Jack, and seven jars belonging to King!
And these things—
This was the biggest harvest for Rob and the others after confronting the Beasts Pirates this time.
"Very good!"
Looking at these things, Rob had a satisfied smile on his face.
He spoke:
"With these research materials, I will conduct thorough research. Once I can create a potion with no side effects that allows you to perfectly obtain the powerful physique and vitality of the Lunaria tribe, I will give it to you!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin, Uta, and Makino standing beside him all nodded indifferently. They didn't care much about becoming stronger, but if Rob did manage to research it, they wouldn't mind using it!
Although they won the battle with the Beasts Pirates this time, they gained an understanding of their own strength and could be called powerful "monsters," but that's all.
If they could become stronger, it would be even better.
Leaving the lab, the four came to the deck.
Rob drank the glass of juice that Robin handed him.
He spoke:
"We have what we need from Kaido! Next, we need the bird fruit that Robin wants, the man-made Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix Devil Fruit! This requires Marco's blood factor!"
"So after that, we have to go find the Whitebeard Pirates!"
