Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye--
Half a year has passed.
In the past six months, the New World's latest reshuffling wars have ended, and most of the Marine's influence in the New World has completely vanished during this period.
Only a few key allied countries of the World Government and significant research bases of the World Government remain, with very few Marine bases garrisoned by a few Marine elites, and even Admirals of Headquarters!
As for other places—
They have all come under the control of the "Four Emperors" who now rule the waters of the New World!
The era of the "Four Emperors" has finally reached its climax.
In the New World, a basic stable pattern of non-aggression has been established, and this pattern has become more stable as the Red Hair Pirates have proven themselves time and time again.
Shanks got what he wanted.
On this day, on an uninhabited island in the New World, Rob looked at the newspaper in his hand.
His eyes flickered slightly:
The pattern of the 'Four Emperors' has truly been established by him! From now on, he will assume the role of an 'order defender' similar to the pirates on the sea, until he waits for someone to come!
Who is Shanks waiting for?
No doubt--
The one who Paramecia·Rubber-Rubber Fruit, which is actually a Mythical Zoan Human-Human Model: Nika chose, and the one who wears the straw hat on his head, the future "Straw Hat Boy"
- Monkey D. Luffy.
Honestly--
Rob is also a little curious now, with some changes in the sea, can Luffy, the future "Straw Hat Boy," still shake things up?
And to be honest.
In a sense
He also seems like he could be one of Luffy's backgrounds.
After all, when they were in Foosha Village, Rob and Luffy had a good relationship, Makino was also very familiar with Luffy, and Uta treated Luffy like a younger brother!
Shaking his head.
Rob didn't care about this one thing anymore.
He casually put down the newspaper, then raised his hand and patted a wrist guard on his hand, took out a sword from the Vice Admiral, wrapped it with Armament Haki, and began his daily sword practice.
This wristband is a pseudo-space equipment made by Rob through Blamenco's bloodline factor after studying the Paramecia Pocket-Pocket Fruit. It only has a storage space of ten meters in length, width, and height, but it is also extremely convenient.
Robin, Uta, and Makino also have one!
Although the styles are different from each other, the capabilities are the same.
It is worth mentioning that--
Because there is a need to leave a pocket-like opening to get things out of it, there is no way to make something like a ring.
Besides--
On the Angel, there is also a hidden treasure house, all managed by Xiaobai, storing extremely important items!
The above discusses the ability to use the Pocket-Pocket Fruit.
There is also the Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit ability, which Rob added to the battle suits of Robin, Uta, and Makino, allowing them to instantly turn their suits into diamonds, forming a super defense!
Finally, let's talk about weapons that use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability—
Robin and Makino, who learned physical combat with him, made a pair of shock gloves with bare fingers; Robin and Uta, who have no particular requirements for weapons in their fighting style, chose a regular shock hammer!
The last one is the artificial Bird Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix, which will be eaten by Robin after he uses the fifth talent - Extreme Sublimation on it.
In this short period of half a year—
The combat improvement of Rob's group has been immense. With their combined combat power now, they could forcibly overthrow a "Four Emperors."
While swinging his sword to practice, Rob's eyes showed seriousness and earnestness:
"After many battles, Shinto is about to transform into a black blade! Once it become a black blade, I'll let it 'eat' a powerful Paramecia Devil Fruit, and then it become the strongest sword in the world!"
"For one, I will use the fifth talent for Robin's Devil Fruit. When the cooldown for the fifth talent - Extreme Sublimation is over, I'll use it on you!"
"Sorry, buddy!"
With this in mind, Rob quickly focused and became fully immersed in practicing his sword skills.
Time passed again.
Soon.
The course of history came to April of 1515 in the Sea Circle Calendar.
On this day—
The Angel stayed on the surface of a completely calm sea, with mild sun and serene waters!
Inside the lab.
Rob held three emerald green potions in his hand and casually handed them to Robin, Uta, and Makino beside him.
He said:
"These strengthening raw materials were extracted from Kaido's special physique and the flesh and blood of the Lunarian tribe. After many experiments, I finally succeeded in making what I wanted!"
"One-time life-enhancing potion—it can allow you to gradually acquire Kaido's special physique, as well as the unique survival abilities of the Lunaria tribe, enabling you to thrive in various environments!"
"In at least one year, at most three years, your life will be strengthened like never before!"
Rob smiled confidently:
"And there are no side effects! Unless we get the flesh and blood of Kaido and Lunaria again, these three one-time life-enhancing potions are out of print!"
"Since it's called a one-time life-enhancing potion, it means each person can only use it once. Using more won't have any effect! If there are no accidents, I won't be making these again anytime soon."
After hearing Rob's introduction, Robin, Uta, and Makino all looked at the test tubes in their hands with serious expressions.
Life is sublimated!
This word is explosive in anyone's ears!
Because of this, the three of them clearly felt how precious these potions were and how much Rob cared for them.
"Don't you need one, Ni-chan?"
Seeing that Rob didn't have one, twelve-year-old Uta asked with a serious expression.
Rob shook his head and said directly:
"You should be able to guess why! I am special—these things, to me, are like delicious drinks with no difference, so I don't need them, but you do!"
Hearing this, the three nodded in understanding. Rob's special nature was known to Robin and Uta years ago when he showed the ability to fully utilize the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Makino, as Rob's close companion, naturally wouldn't be unaware of this!
Quickly.
Under Rob's urging, Robin, Uta, and Makino all used the one-time life-enhancing potion. Naturally, there was no immediate special feeling after drinking it, but its effects would manifest gradually!
Soon.
The four left the research room and returned to the deck of the Angel.
"Next—"
Looking at Robin, Uta, and Makino.
Rob said:
"Let's find a place to stay for a while! Then we'll think about our plans for the future—we now have more than ten poneglyph remaining!"
"Among the remaining poneglyphs, there are still four Road Poneglyphs. Three of them are held by Zou Island, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates. These places might also have regular poneglyphs!"
"The last Road Poneglyph was originally beside the poneglyph containing Joy Boy's apology on Fish-Man Island, but it has been taken by an unknown person."
After discussing the poneglyphs, Rob's eyes fell on Robin:
"This is related to Robin's dream. Since we are so close now, we must work hard. Our next goal is to get all the known poneglyphs!"
Robin nodded with a smile, accepting Rob's plan.
Then, Rob turned to Uta:
"In addition to Robin's dream, our 'Diva'—Uta's dream of becoming the 'World's No. 1 Diva' is also within reach! Soon, we'll hold a concert for Uta!"
"With the wave of the concert, our Uta will become the true 'World's No. 1 Diva!'"
Hearing Rob, Uta smiled brightly, flew to Rob, and gave him a kiss.
She said happily:
"Thank you, Ni-chan!"
Rob patted Uta's head and then became serious:
"Now there's a question—should we collect the poneglyphs first or hold Uta's concert first? What do you think?"
Robin and Makino exchanged glances.
Then Makino said:
"I don't have an opinion. Does the order of these two things make a difference?"
Before Rob could answer, Robin spoke directly, holding a book:
"There will be! If we go to collect the poneglyphs first, we'll need to confront the 'Four Emperors' pirate groups. Unless we defeat them all, we'll definitely expose the existence of the poneglyphs!"
"The World Government won't tolerate our existence!"
"When the World Government investigates, the fact that Ni-chan and I were born in Ohara might be exposed. With their shrewdness, they'll realize we've been searching for the poneglyphs all these years!"
"When that happens, huge bounties and endless Buster Calls will come after us!"
