Kapitel 6: 6. Fortunately! I am a Cheater!
Rob is thoughtful. Although he is not particularly sensitive in this aspect, his awakened Observation Haki allows him to easily sense Robin's emotional changes.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed Robin's little head.
Looking up, Robin couldn't hide her lost eyes as she looked at Rob:
"Oni-chan, what's the matter?"
Watching Robin seriously, Rob said:
"I won't leave you alone! After all, you are my treasure!"
Hearing Rob's words, the emotional haze in Robin's heart dissipated instantly. Her small eyes narrowed, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and then her cheeks turned slightly rosy.
In this moment—
She felt that it didn't matter even if she didn't have a mother, as long as she had Oni-chan. After all, when she was 2 years old, her mother left her, pursuing the so-called historical truth.
In Robin's limited life now, Rob is the first person to care about her and take care of her. So Rob's importance to her is even higher than her mother's, especially after hearing Rob's words now.
Comforting Robin, Rob pondered in his heart—
The Pirate King, Roger, used his own death to start a magnificent era of heroes. At the same time, this era is extremely unfriendly to ordinary people and those at the bottom of society. It can even be said to be a dark age that brings a lot of tragedies to ordinary people.
Unfortunately—
The strong people at the top never pay attention to the tragedies of the ordinary people at the bottom. Even if they see it, they will only preach and scold them for not working hard enough or not being strong enough, with mocking words! These strong people never consider that no one wants to be born weak and trampled by others!
Talent. Opportunity. Effort.
These are all essential things to stand at the top of the pyramid. Those so-called overlord concepts of the strong are not suitable for the general public at all. They are only able to point out ordinary people at the bottom because they are already standing on a high place!
From the birth of living things, there is only one eternal truth in the world—
Power comes first!
"Fortunately—"
Rob's thoughts converged, and the corner of his mouth rose:
"I'm a cheater!"
It's okay to be overpowered for a while, and it's always cool to be overpowered!
His powers—
Although not directly invincible, they have unlimited potential!
...
Two months later.
Boom—
The giant bear's huge body was once again knocked to the ground by Rob. The bear lay motionless, with tears streaming down from its two huge eyes.
It looked pretty pathetic!
Brutal.
It was brutal.
God knows what kind of life the bear has lived in the past two months?
Beaten.
Beaten.
Still getting beaten!
At the beginning, it could occasionally seize the opportunity to fight back, but now it was just a pure bear meat sandbag. Once a bully in the forest, it was now about to be beaten into a doormat by Rob.
Don't fight.
Destroy me!
Hurry up.
At this moment, the giant bear lay on the ground, not making any movements, not even twitching.
Totally defeated.
Rob noticed the giant bear's reaction and felt a bit dumbfounded:
"Didn't I just ask you for special training for a while? Is it really that bad?"
The giant bear turned its head away, clearly refusing to move, as if resigned to its fate, whether it be death or survival.
"Okay."
Seeing the giant bear like this, Rob decided to leave it be. He said:
"I won't ask you to practice with me in the future! You won't be able to help me in the next stage of my training. Since you've been training with me for so long, I won't kill you! Goodbye, little bear!"
With that, Rob turned and left the forest. Even the forest's overlord, the giant bear, had been beaten down by him. There was nothing left in the forest worthy of his challenge, so it was time to move on.
Next—
He planned to go to the ocean to continue his practice! In this world where the sea is everywhere, one must inevitably face the ocean. And now, before he finds a powerful Devil Fruit, he might as well experience the sea while he can. Once he finds and eats a Devil Fruit, he would lose the ability to swim.
Unfortunately—
Despite awakening Observation Haki and Armament Haki, Rob was still one step away from awakening Conqueror's Haki. He could sense the powerful force, but couldn't fully activate it, as if he had hit a bottleneck.
After much effort, Rob decided to give it a rest for now. He had a hunch that his Conqueror's Haki would awaken soon.
Seeing that Rob, the evil man, finally gave up and left, the giant bear sighed in relief. After a long while, it got up from the ground, deciding to leave the forest and find a new place. The psychological trauma Rob had inflicted on it was too great.
...
A month later.
On the sea near Ohara—
Crash!
Wearing just a pair of underpants, Rob dragged a sea beast about the size of the giant bear out of the sea and shook his wet black hair!
"The time to hold my breath has exceeded 20 minutes."
Rob carried the sea beast back towards his shelter, his eyes serious:
"If it's an underwater battle, under intense exertion, the time limit for holding my breath should be about ten minutes! I didn't expect that practicing in seawater would have such an effect!"
When he first entered the water and held his breath to the limit, Rob felt his natural talent—born strong—begin to act on his lungs and the inside of his body! This also meant that—
Practicing underwater not only allowed him to exercise his muscles and physique but also to strengthen the fragile organs inside his body bit by bit.
If he persevered, he might undergo a transformation from the inside out and the outside in, at a fundamental level!
All in all—
Underwater practice was proving to be incredibly beneficial!
