[A large number of swordsmen threatened to challenge the "World's No. 1 Swordsman" - Rob, but no response from Rob yet! ]
[…]
["The World's Greatest Swordsman"- Rob has disappeared for many days! Is it true that he is afraid as the world says?]
[…]
[New World hegemony war enters the final stage, "World's Strongest Man" - Whitebeard- Edward Newgate, takes the lead to become the sea overlord of New World!]
[…]
There is a lot of news.
Most of the previous ones had something to do with him, but the latter ones didn't report much about him.
This is normal--
News is born every day in the sea, Rob cannot always be in the center of the news, Morgans also sells newspapers to make money, It is impossible to just focus on him!
"Do many famous and unknown swordsmen want to challenge me?"
After reading the newspapers of the last few months, Rob's eyes showed some interest.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"Do they think they can beat me if they can't beat Hawkeye? Or do they think I'm not a pirate, so even if they challenge me, they won't lose their life if they fail, and they can feel confident and bold in challenging me?"
There was a silence.
Rob came up with a nice idea:
"Why don't I give them a chance to challenge me, and learn different mainstream sword techniques from these swordsmen, so as to perfect my own gorgeous sword techniques! When the time comes, I'll give my techniques a great name!"
"Let me think about it, it might as well be called——Baqianliu Daoshu!"
Beside him.
Robin and Uta, who had finished exercising, came to Rob's side, picked up the newspaper that Rob put aside, and read it.
After a while.
Robin looked at Rob:
"Oni-chan, are you going to respond to those swordsmen who want to challenge you?"
Rob nodded.
He picked up Uta who came to him and wiped the sweat off her face:
"There is such a plan!"
"Anyway, the voyage in Paradise is not a big deal. Since these people want to challenge me, let them come! It just so happens that I can also learn their sword skills during the battle, and then further improve myself!"
Hearing the words.
Robin understood.
Then she said:
"So where are we going to show up next, to show that we have returned to the sea?"
After pondering for a moment, Rob said:
"Then Sabaody Archipelago is good! It's the last stop before entering the New World. Many pirate groups and strong people pass through that place! It's a good place to set up the ring!"
While talking, Rob looked at Robin, who was thirteen, and Uta, who was four, with a soft smile on his face:
"And next, we can almost enter the New World to play!"
"After all, the New World hegemony war is coming to an end. The Whitebeard Pirates became the original sea overlord, followed by the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. The pattern of the New World has temporarily stabilized like this."
The red hair is still a little behind.
At least, the current Shanks is not yet qualified to be called the overlord of the sea. He will grow for a few more years, and even launch a campaign in the Four Blues for a period of time, and then he will return like a king and reach the top in the New World!
After hearing Rob's general plan for the future, Robin didn't have any objections, but was full of expectations in her heart.
The sea area of the New World, through all kinds of information, is known to be much more dangerous but also much more exciting than here in Paradise. It is rumored that the sea area is a dream!
And there seem to be more Poneglyphs there, so Robin is looking forward to the New World.
Of course, Robin also knows the degree of danger of the New World is definitely more than the surface shows, but since Oni-chan, who is prudent, thinks that they can enter the New World, then they will be safe!
Because Oni-chan is the strongest!
Half a month later.
After passing through Long Chain Island and several small magnetic islands on the way, the Angel arrived at Water 7. The three of Rob visited Tom, Iceburg, Franky, and others here again.
After passing through the sea area of the Florian Triangle, they still didn't encounter the ghost ship wandering here, so they couldn't find Brook.
At last, the three of Rob drove the Angel and once again arrived at Sabaody Archipelago in a fair manner, and stayed there. They neither went to Fish-Man Island nor left Sabaody Archipelago!
It's like they were waiting there on purpose!
This news was also transmitted across the sea at an extremely fast speed.
Many swordsmen, swordswomen, and even some pirates who wanted to challenge Rob before rushed towards the Sabaody Archipelago like sharks smelling blood.
The first half of "Paradise" also began to be turbulent—
"Did you finally show up? 'The World's Greatest Swordsman'? It's too early for you! Hahaha..."
"Hey! Little ones! Get the boat ready, those three little brats have already appeared! Since they will be defeated by others sooner or later, it's better if I take his head and sell those girls! Hahaha..."
"Is it the supreme great sword-cursed sword-Shinto that has just appeared in the sword book? I will accept it!"
On the fourth day after arriving in Sabaody Archipelago, at Grove No. 44 on a relatively quiet shore, the Angel was moored quietly. Robin was reading a book on the deck, and Uta was standing at the bow of the ship, singing.
On the shore, Rob was wearing casual clothes, holding a sheathed Shinto in his hand, and he was slowly practicing the gorgeous sword techniques he created.
Suddenly---
Da da da!
There was a sound of messy footsteps, and then, a large group of strong men and middle-aged people with long knives in their hands or long swords on their backs flocked to the shore, disturbing Rob's training!
The leader, a strong man with two swords on his back, stepped forward.
Grinning grimly at Rob:
"Yeah... Finally found you! The legendary 'genius swordsmith' and the ridiculous World's Greatest Swordsman!"
Rob stopped practicing sword techniques.
He turned his head to look at this group of unfriendly challengers, his expression unchanged.
He gave a light warning:
"Although I accept the challenge of the strong, it doesn't mean that you guys who hold a bladed stick in your hand and call yourself a swordsman can come and disturb me!"
Hearing Rob's words, the leading strong man's face turned ugly instantly:
"Who are you calling a bastard?"
"Damn kid, at first I just wanted to take away the Supreme Sword from you! But now I've changed my mind. I must kill you, and then sell your two younger sisters as slaves!"
Rob squinted his eyes, filled with killing intent. Without saying a word, he directly raised the Shinto in his hand. Without drawing it from the sheath, he just swung it at the group of challengers.
Zheng——
In the blink of an eye, one terrifying slashing sword aura after another shredded the bodies of this group of people, without giving them a chance to scream, regret, or fear. He let everyone die without leaving a whole body.
Blood spilled all over the ground, and a pungent smell of blood immediately permeated the air!
After killing these people, Rob continued to practice his sword skills. Robin on the Angel was still engrossed in her books, and Uta was still singing. Following Rob on the sea, they were accustomed to life and death.
This kind of scene—
For them, it's all about sprinkling water!
The first batch of challengers was just the beginning. Their arrival was like flipping a switch. One by one, challengers, both honorable and malicious, came knocking.
Then—
On the shore where Rob docked the boat, more and more bodies piled up.
Unless it was a truly powerful swordsman who came as a pure challenger and could leave alive, none of the other guys who were full of malice and various schemes could hide from Rob's Observation Haki, which allowed him to hear the voices of all things and read minds. None of them died decently or could leave a complete body!
Eventually, Rob didn't even give those guys a chance to speak. Approaching was a death sentence!
The corpses on the shore were cleaned up repeatedly, but the traces of blood left behind stained the ground red. Although the smell of blood dissipated somewhat, it could still be easily detected with a careful sniff.
From this, it was clear—
During this period, how many people Rob killed, and how many overconfident and not very smart individuals lost their lives on the shore of No. 44.
In the blink of an eye, Rob and his crew had been staying in Sabaody Archipelago for a full month.
In the first half of the month, there were many overreaching individuals who challenged Rob, but as more and more people died, the number of challengers dropped sharply. Those who came later were all truly capable and strong swordsmen.
However—
No matter how powerful the swordsman, when facing Rob, none could survive ten moves. They paid the price of death or serious injury at Rob's hands!
This month—
The ground of Grove 44 was stained red with blood, and a large number of corpses were cleared into the sea to feed the fish. One by one, the famous swordsmen who were renowned across the sea died or were seriously injured.
Rob used these as the foundation to formally establish himself on the throne of "The World's Greatest Swordsman" and successfully occupy the position of the strongest swordsman!
It was also from this month that many people with bad intentions towards Rob restrained their thoughts and recognized the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman" on Rob's head!
Hawkeye - Dracule Mihawk, Shanks-Captain of the Red Hair Pirates, and Foil Vista, among other swordsmen, found their names overshadowed by the light on Rob.
In the current sea, when people mention the Great Swordsman, there is one and only one name that comes to mind:
"The World's Greatest Swordsman" - Rob!
