Rob was filled with goosebumps as he witnessed the scene, fully aware of the dire situation the woman was in.
She was a yandere, and not just any yandere, but one that was even more terrifying!
It was commonly known that women of this type would display their craziness when they met someone who caught their attention.
And in this case, Rob was the only one who managed to attract the attention of one of the scariest yanderes in the anime world!
"Unbelievable, great..." Rob thought to himself.
Despite the shock he felt, Rob's facial expression remained cold and indifferent, which only served to increase Imu's excitement.
She began to approach Rob slowly and quietly as if walking on solid ground instead of empty air.
Rob was left speechless by Imu's supernatural ability, wondering how Luffy would be able to overcome her.
Rob raised his guard as the Armament, Observation, and Conqueror Haki were at their peak.
He used Armament Haki to protect his entire body while adding a layer of defense using Conqueror Haki to create a stronger, invincible layer. Meanwhile, his Observation Haki predicted the future ten seconds ahead.
Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared before Rob's eyes.
In his observation of the future, this woman kissed him, leaving him speechless.
He blinked rapidly as black streaks appeared on his forehead. He couldn't comprehend why she was so fierce in kissing him.
Without wasting any time, Rob moved ten meters away from the woman. He was not in the mood to deal with a crazy woman offering herself to him.
"Have you been influenced by Esdeath's personality and ways of dealing with Tatsumi?" Rob asked the woman intently when she stopped walking towards him.
"Esdeath is interesting, but I'm the one who influences others, not the other way around. I see that you can predict the future. This is unexpected. I never thought there would be someone in this world with a stronger Haki than me. I've been training this power tirelessly for a thousand years," said Imu softly.
Imu's eyes held a hint of surprise as she had almost lost in her previous fight against Rob. Although she lost in terms of destructive forces, she did not expect to lose to anyone in terms of Haki.
Her mastery of all Haki types was so profound that she could no longer see her limit.
However, if a kid in his thirties could predict her true intentions, didn't this indicate that his ability to observe surpassed hers?
"Interesting," she mused. "I had planned to apologize for my subordinates' stupidity by giving you a kiss, but it seems you declined," Imu clarified.
"What?" Rob questioned in a frigid tone. "Are you suggesting that the Five Elders enacted their revenge plan against my subordinate without your command?"
"Fufu~ That's impossible, I ordered the attack myself. However, the severity and execution of the assault were left to my tools. The purpose of it all was to meet you, and now, here we are," Imu explained with a grin.
Rob's face remained cold and impassive. He expected as much from this woman; she was clearly insane. Could living for all these years have damaged her mind?
"What do you want?" Rob asked, his tone still chilly.
If it came to a fight, he would take her down with Marineford and use the opportunity to demolish Marigoa on the heads of the Five Elders too.
"Don't be too harsh on my people. Instead, let me fulfill a request for you in exchange for settling this matter. And as for what I desire, let's move to a better location to discuss it," Imu proposed.
...
Inside the art store, Ohara:
"Terishishishi~ what a funny scene," Saul chuckled playfully as he looked at the manga.
At the beginning of this volume, he was surprised to see himself in a flashback with Garp, Tsuru, and Kuzan. However, he was frustrated that he didn't participate in the discussion or say anything.
As the volume progressed, it became clear that the flashback wasn't intended for the Navy. Instead, it explained how the Great Pirate era began, its aftermath, and the past of one of the three great pirates, the Golden Lion Shiki.
Despite the success of Sengoku and Garp in demonstrating the Navy's strength.
Suddenly, Little Robin appeared next to Saul who was in a normal human size, and she said, "Uncle Saul! Can you tell me about the new chapters again? Yamato refuses to tell me."
"Robin!" Saul felt happy after seeing Robin calling him "uncle Saul" and replied, "The crew was dispersed into islands floating in the sky. Obviously, this is the doing of the main villain of the arc, the Golden Lion!" He said excitedly.
Little Robin opened her mouth in shock, "O."
"Isn't it shocking?" Saul chuckled, "Terishishishi! I was also shocked at first when I saw it. Look at you, you're wearing a green and white striped shirt, and your glasses give you an air of maturity. I wonder how the crew will beat someone like the Golden Lion."

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"Ah!" Brook screamed as he noticed an army of fierce ants approaching like a black cloud.
"What happened?" Franky was surprised. "Now ants?"
"What...?" The ants passed through Brook without paying attention and headed toward Franky and Robin.
"They're after us, huh?" Franky pointed his hand cannon toward the group of ants, ready to blow them up.
But suddenly Robin spoke up. "Franky, I thought you were out of fuel."
"Oh! You're right!" exclaimed Franky.
Suddenly, a giant shark jumped out of the water, catching the attention of the trio and the group of ants as well.
The shark was unnaturally huge and mutated into a long, snake-like creature.
"It's coming back," commented Robin.
The shark jumped into the air for the last time in his life, as a group of ferocious ants turned it into a skeleton and devoured all his meat.
"Oh, like me..." Seeing the shark's skeleton made Brook feel familiar. "Are you two okay?"
"Now I know why they're not after you," said Franky to Brook.
"Huh?" Brook stopped.
Franky continued, "You have no flesh they can eat."
"Hah... Isn't that kind of impolite?!" Brook was angry.
In his rage, he pulled out his sword and attacked the fierce ants. Every time he passed among them, he cut countless of them without them noticing.
Eventually, he cut them all down. However, the remaining ferocious ants ran towards Franky and Robin, who quietly continued their way, knowing that the ants' group was already over.
Brook sheathed his sword. "Three-Verse Humming... Arrow Notch Slash!"
As soon as he said that, the swarm of ants fell like rain.
"I am all bones, but there's something I'd like to do," said Brook.
"Lose weight in specific parts of the body."
•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"Hahahahaha!!" Olvia, who was trying to maintain a professional facade, couldn't hold back her laughter any longer as she burst out laughing at what Brook said.
"Haraharaharahara!" Even the new store goddess, Melona, mother of Perona, laughed heartily.
The same went for the rest of the store goddesses who had the opportunity to read the volume up to this point.
There was no one left who did not laugh because of what Brook said.
Even he himself laughed, "Yohohohohoho."
"Seriously, what weight are you talking about? Hahahaha!" laughed Dr. Clover, who used to accompany both Brook and Vegapunk at tea sessions and reading the manga.
"Yohohoho! This swarm of ants is unlucky, they pissed me off in the manga... but what kind of ants are these? I have never seen ants with weapons in my life," Brook stupidly tilted his head to the side.
"That's what's interesting about this. It's not just the ants. That shark that they ate is also abnormal, the giant animals that were chasing Luffy are abnormal, and these animals chasing Sanji and Usopp are also strange," said Vegapunk.
"No, this is interesting... this is a completely different evolutionary path than it should be," Vegapunk continued, amazed at the findings.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the cause and effect of these mutant animals."
