After pondering extensively on this complex matter, Rob sighed slightly before lighting a cigarette to clear his mind.
"Why hasn't Rocks appeared yet... Is Oda unwilling to reveal the events of that entire day through Kuma's flashback?"
Rob looked at the unmistakable faces of Newgate, Shiki, Kaido, and John, as well as Linlin, Stussy, and two others, then focused his gaze on Gloriosa..., "..."
She was his wife, her beautiful face still retained the same features, enhanced only after he gave her the dose containing his diluted blood.
"Finally, Roger's pirates appeared. Haha, I remember the captain at that time had no mustache."
"Haha, the captain, Rayleigh, and Gaban are as lively as ever."
"This two devil fruis..." Seeing how Linlin managed to stop Ivankov from consuming the Blue Dragon Fruit with just a hair's breadth, Rob felt shocked... The image of Kaido intertwined with Ivankov to form an extremely disgusting picture in his mind.
'Fortunately... Or everything would be different if that happened...'
It made perfect sense to Rob that Kuma would take his Devil Fruit in such a scenario and in such a way.
"The illogical thing is why Saturn didn't kill him. Is it because he saw him as a mere child who couldn't threaten or do anything? Or has he started thinking about how to use and benefit from him from that moment...? After all, Saturn is the Warrior God of Science and Defense..."
Seeing Saturn's dark expression when Kuma mentioned wanting to save people in Nikka's way made Rob more interested.
"I really want to see how the first Joy Boy was a thorn in your side that couldn't be plucked out, hehe~ I know about it, but I don't know how, the manga is the only way for me to know even though I'm part of the Clan of Knowledge Light."
"As expected, this bastard Morgans was very active long ago. I need to be more cautious of him." Seeing how Morgans helped the World Government cover up the true events in the God Valley made Rob more wary of him.
...
..
"Sigh..." Seeing two children crying at the end of the chapter made his heart tremble... he always had a soft spot for children.
"They have tasted the flavor of relief and hope, after being submerged in the swamp of despair... their tears are completely understandable." Rob could only sigh and shake his head repeatedly while smoking.
He really wanted to tear apart a Celestial Dragon or two for a little relief instead of smoking a cigarette.
He had already forgotten that it had been only one day since he killed another Celestial Dragon because he had plans to enslave Hancock.
After finishing Chapter 1096 events, Rob immediately moved on to Chapter 1097.
"After the God Valley incident by 8 years... which means 28 years before Luffy set sail for the first time... that's just 3 years before my arrival in this world..."
"This means that just after 3 years, the story plot will be affected by my arrival, and similar changes will occur... but strange... where is Ginny in all of this? Why haven't I seen or heard about her?"
"No... could Ginny be Bonney herself?"
Rob fell into a whirlwind of thoughts, unable to confirm anything.
He had a mysterious explanation because he knew that this world was different from the original story even before his arrival...
'Maybe Ginny doesn't exist in this world originally!'
Rob stopped his complicated thoughts about it and gently looked at how kind the young Kuma was with a smile.
Seeing how this young priest willingly took on the pains and illnesses of the elderly made him deeply appreciate Kuma... having such a kind-hearted person in the world made Rob sigh for the fate of such a good man.
"I will make sure to give you a good life that you deserve... and I will find out the reason behind the disappearance of this smile in this world."
Because after all, the current Kuma was cold and dark with overwhelming sadness... only Bonney made him feel better.
"Another Timeskip... 25 years ago, this means 23 years before Luffy set sail... this means just 1 year after my arrival!"
"Kuma hasn't married Ginny yet... hmm? Strange, when will Bonney be born then?"
Seeing how Kuma's fear of making Ginny suffer the same fate as his mother just by marrying her made Rob more understanding of the current plot's development.
"But they clearly love each other... sigh~"
"Oh! Dragon finally appeared! So this is where the name Freedom Army comes from?"
Rob was familiar with the name Freedom Army because it was the first name of the Revolutionary Army after Dragon left the Navy, saved Crocodile, and met Ivankov to organize this small army under the name 'Freedom Army'. That's what happened in this world.
But apparently, the development in the original story was very similar!
(N/B: Hehe~ I'm already doing well in predicting Oda's deceptive moves... may God grant me patience! Well, to remind you, my friends, I successfully predicted the name Freedom Army before! Just as I predicted the existence of the so-called Holy Knights before their appearance in the story.)
Seeing how Dragon and the Revolutionary Army influenced Kuma, Rob connected the dots with the true tyrant king of the Sorbet Kingdom, Bikori, and how the Revolutionary Army did things, Rob quickly concluded that Dragon would overthrow the tyrant king's rule.
"Haha! This king is interesting..."
Seeing the new king's policy of dividing the country, Rob felt that having such a foolish king was not new in the world of pirates.
"I've never seen a king in my life who divides his own country."
"These 'fools' are members of Bonney's crew? Seeing two other familiar faces made Rob puzzled again.
"As expected, the new king's policy has increased the chances of being targeted by Dragon..."
"Oh... It seems the Revolutionary Army in the original story is more promising than the current Revolutionary Army!"
"No, Garp joining as a guardian to the current Revolutionary Army can't be compared fundamentally."
Seeing how Dragon desires to have a massive army spread across the world reminded Rob of Dragon's similar ambition in this world.
"A short period in the marine, you say? Haha, a short period enough for you to make Sakazuki, the arrogant one, more humble in front of you."
Rob understood better what Dragon meant by the short period he spent in the Navy.
"Before 14 years ago? Is Ginny here too? Did something I did lead to this woman's disappearance from the world? Let me speculate... Bonney must have already been born by now, correct?"
Rob fell into a bout of thinking, becoming more confused over time.
"So she became the leader of the Eastern Army, in the East Blue, right?"
"What, she was kidnapped!? How did this happen, and who's that unexpected enemy!?"
Rob became more interested in knowing the details in the next chapter.
