"With this paper—"
After reading the news about himself, Rob casually put the newspaper down.
"My name should also bring this world a little shock! It's really exciting!"
Just as Rob's voice fell, the system that had been silent for several years made its presence known again—
[After a great battle, you successfully spread your name across the sea! You have unlocked your fourth talent - Destiny!]
Swish!
His eyes widened suddenly, and Rob's gaze became extremely bright. A surprised expression appeared on his face as he subconsciously laughed:
"Hahaha…"
The hearty and wanton laughter resounded across the sky, with restrained Conqueror's Haki spreading to the surrounding sea area. The laughter and fluctuating Conqueror's Haki even caused the originally calm sea to develop bigger and bigger waves!
After Rob's laughter subsided, Robin, having completed her current training, approached him.
"Oni-chan, why did you suddenly laugh?"
Little Uta also grabbed Rob's trousers with one hand and poked her own little face with the other, tilting her head.
"Ni-san?"
With a smile he couldn't hide, Rob stretched out his hands to rub Robin's long straight black hair and then touched Uta's small head with a small knot, but didn't explain the talent.
He just smiled and said:
"Oni-chan just feels very happy! Look at this newspaper, and you will know why Oni-chan is happy! Take Uta to use the potential potions and body-building potions to take a bath. I will make a big meal today to celebrate!"
While talking, Rob handed the newspaper to Robin and then walked briskly into the cabin to make a big meal.
Although he hadn't trained specifically in cooking, with his third talent—learn and know—his cooking skills improved daily. Sooner or later, he would become a chef!
Looking at the back of her Oni-chan leaving happily, Robin was a little curious. She looked at the newspaper in her hand and, upon seeing the front page news, showed an expression of understanding.
Finally collecting the newspapers, Robin looked proud.
"As expected of Oni-chan! We easily achieved what we wanted. To avoid hindering Oni-chan, we must become even stronger! Uta, lets take a bath together!"
While speaking, Robin picked up Uta and walked towards the bathroom.
Uta had a cute smile on her face.
"Take a bath! Take a bath!"
Inside the galley of the small sailboat, Rob prepared to cook while contemplating the fourth talent he had unlocked—Destiny.
"The destiny belongs to... the weight contained in these four words is not simple at all! I just don't know if it is what I think! If it is really what I think, at the very least, I can have good luck again and again!"
What is destiny?
To explain it in simple and straightforward words--
Everything you want to do can be done in the end, and what you want to get will be obtained in the end. The existence loved by the world and the times, the embodiment of heaven-defying luck!
The person whose destiny belongs to is—
The son of luck, the natural protagonist!
"Whether this talent is what I think or not, it may not bring me a direct improvement in strength, but it can definitely affect my luck invisibly!"
Rob's eyes were full of satisfaction.
"Although it seems fantastical, improving my luck means being in a state of good fortune for a long time. It is a hidden, bug-level talent!"
Thinking happily, Rob began to prepare a big meal. Although the fourth talent was activated by accident, this special talent truly had some metaphysical aspects. Rob didn't know how to trigger and apply it. Compared with the abstract concept of luck, all he could do now was to grasp everything he could feel!
Unable to find a suitable method, Rob also vaguely felt something—
The fourth talent, Destiny, does not need to be triggered and used deliberately. This is a passive talent. From the moment it is activated, it will start to play a role all the time.

Just as Rob thought, his name was spread all over the world by this newspaper. More and more people knew of his existence, letting all the powerful know—
A boy named Rob has now emerged and arrived at the Grand Line.

In the New World, after a big battle, the Red Force showed some wear and tear with traces of war on it. Shanks, with his red hair slightly disheveled, looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes becoming very bright.
"Oh? Are you finally here? Teacher Rob and his two younger sisters have done something amazing right away! Is this your declaration to the sea and the world? Teacher Rob! Dahaha..."
Laughing loudly, Shanks' eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
During this time, he had become stronger. When they met again, he would launch a new battle with Rob and avenge his shame!

In East Blue, inside the only tavern in Foosha Village, Makino smiled, resting her chin in one hand, looking at the newspaper in her hand. She focused on the content of the headlines and the handsome photo of Rob.
Her face turned reddish.
"Mr. Rob..."
Girlish feelings are always poetic.
It's just a pity—
Everyone knew her feelings, but the person she was thinking about seemed to have no idea at all!
---
Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, ten days of sailing time had passed.
On this day—
Crash!
The small sailboat rode the wind and waves, the sky was not too hot, and the scorching sun shone on the sea, making the blue waters sparkle like pearls!
On the deck—
Rob, rarely seen relaxing, was lying on a beach chair, fast asleep. On his chest, little Uta also slept soundly, drooling and wetting Rob's clothes.
"Ala—"
Robin, coming out of the cabin, saw the scene on the deck with a gentle smile. She brought a thin blanket to cover Rob and little Uta to avoid them catching a cold.
Her soft-handed and light-footed actions were extremely gentle!
