Capítulo 24: 24. Practice In Foosha Village!
After taking a look at little Makino, Rob had a soft smile on his face:
"I heard from the village chief that you provide accommodation here? My sister and I would like to stay for a while. We will pay for it!"
Since leaving Ohara, Rob hadn't been actively hunting pirates or going to the Marines to exchange bounties, but he did encounter many pirates along the way. Each time he destroyed a pirate group, he collected a lot of treasures and supplies, so he and Robin never lacked money or sailing supplies.
"Sure!"
Makino glanced at Rob and Robin, then smiled:
"It's okay if you don't pay. As long as you help me with my work, I can provide you with accommodation and food for free!"
Hearing Makino's offer, Rob smiled:
"Is that so? I don't have much time, what about you, Robin? Would you like to try working here?"
Working was secondary. Rob could feel that Robin really liked the atmosphere of Foosha Village. It would be good for her to have more contact with the villagers in the tavern, especially with Makino, a peer of the same age.
After hesitating for a while, Robin looked at the expectant Makino and nodded slightly:
"Yes! I can help you work, boss!"
Makino's face lit up with a happy smile, and she held Robin's little hand familiarly:
"Great! I'm the only one in the tavern, and I'm often overwhelmed! You don't have to call me the boss, just call me Makino!"
Feeling Makino's enthusiasm, Robin also smiled:
"Makino-chan, just call me Robin! This is my brother, Rob. Please take care of us."
Following Robin's introduction, Rob also greeted Makino.
With that, Rob and Robin arranged to live in Makino's tavern in exchange for Robin helping out. The simple, trusting nature of the villagers made it easy for them.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning—
Rob came outside the village. According to his daily plan, he started his sword skills and body training. Then he would go to the sea to exercise his body and continue to temper his Conqueror's Haki power.
Staying in Foosha Village was partly because Robin had rarely made a request, and partly because one of his goals in coming to Foosha Village was to meet Garp, who wasn't in the village at the moment. Rob planned to wait for him.
Of course, Rob didn't inquire about Garp. The villagers were simple and friendly, but because Garp was becoming more and more famous, they were worried about retaliation from crazy pirates, so they were very vigilant.
"In this world, sword skills and physical skills are powerful, but in the final analysis, the fancy moves are secondary!"
While practicing his sword techniques, Rob pondered:
"As long as you have enough strength and speed, whether it's body techniques or sword techniques, it will be synonymous with power! The power system in this world, except for the strange Devil Fruits, is really simple and direct!"
Through further practice and development of his sword and body techniques, Rob gradually understood the essence of these arts in this world.
That is—
Strength produces miraculous critical strikes, and speed results in swift, decisive victories!
Even the power of Haki is enhanced by these two aspects, adding special attack methods. Ultimately, it all depends on the strength of the body!
It's not difficult to understand it from the fight of Kuzan and Akainu for ten days and ten nights for the position of Fleet Admiral. It's also clear why the vitality of the strong in this world is extremely tenacious. Even when they are critically injured, they can recover quickly and return to their peak state!
In the end, this world operates on the principle of—
Breaking through all limits with raw power!
Still.
Rob prefers to make his moves gorgeous and elegant!
For example, in the future, Zoro reciting poems and attacking has a special charm. However, like Mihawk's ultimate straightforward strikes, the simplicity can also be extremely impressive!
But no matter the style—
All require their ultimate to be powerful!
After rehearsing his sword techniques more than ten times, Rob took off his clothes, jumped into the sea, and sank towards the ocean depths with great skill.
Not long after, Rob stood on a reef at the bottom of the sea and began slashing forward with the straight sword he brought down, going all out each time!
However—
The strong pressure and resistance of the seawater made it much more difficult for Rob to swing his sword compared to on land. The power generated by his slashes was far from the level he achieved on land. Rob felt like a beginner again as he practiced underwater!
He focused solely on the practice of swinging the sword without practicing any elaborate techniques!
As the saying goes, concentrate on one point and reach the peak.
Rob could practice making his attacks elegant and gorgeous on land, relying on his talent for learning and gradually becoming stronger. But now, he wanted to practice the single, strongest, unreserved, and sure-kill sword technique among all his skills.
It's the same reason Rob developed only one move, the Octopole technique. The real killer sword technique he wanted to develop wouldn't be as diverse as Zoro's, with many named moves—only the ultimate, single sword technique!
As for physical skills, he only needed Octopole as a finishing move.
For sword skills, he aimed to create the most extreme move.
Rob didn't know how much time it would take to master this true one-shot technique. It could take a long time, or it might be created suddenly one day.
But this sword—
It must be Rob's ultimate sword!

Capítulo 25: 25. Makino's Hug!
A month later, at night, inside Makino's tavern—
Makino, Robin, and Rob had just finished their day's work and practice. The three of them, along with the children, were enjoying a meal together. Robin and Makino were chatting animatedly.
With Makino's gentle and cheerful presence, Robin felt happy every day, her mental state recovering to how it was back in Ohara.
"Nah—"
Robin looked expectantly at Makino with a gentle smile as she ate her Sea Kings meat fried rice.
"Sister Makino, would you like to get on the boat with Oni-chan and me? How about traveling around the world together? There are so many interesting islands, beautiful scenery, and fascinating people out there! You would definitely love the sailing life!"
Since leaving Ohara, Rob had taken Robin to find Olvia, then Crocus, and eventually to the peaceful East Blue. Along the way, they had seen many strange islands and interesting sights. Robin genuinely wanted Makino to join them on their adventures.
Hearing Robin's invitation, Rob chimed in:
"Makino, do you want to come? Let's explore the world together and experience the vastness of the sea! Our boat is quite spacious, and with just Robin and me, it can get a bit lonely sometimes!"
Makino, who had become good friends with both of them, was momentarily stunned by their invitation. She then pondered for a moment and said:
"Going to sea? That does sound appealing!"
After a pause, a gentle smile appeared on Makino's face:
"But I have to run the tavern left by my mother, so... I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation. But I truly appreciate you both wanting me to join you!"
Makino's tavern was a legacy from her mother, who had passed away a year ago. She felt a strong responsibility to keep it going, which was an understandable reason for her refusal.
Everyone in this world has something they hold dear.
Makino's priority was the tavern her mother left her.
Hearing Makino's refusal, Robin was a bit disappointed but understood:
"Is that so? Then let's forget it!"
Rob, on the other hand, just smiled and said:
"That's really a pity!"
He didn't want to force Makino into anything she wasn't comfortable with. He reached out and gently rubbed Robin's head.
"Even without the boat, Makino is still our best friend, isn't she?"
Feeling Rob's gentle touch, Robin smiled and nodded, her spirits lifting.
Watching their interaction, Makino maintained her usual smile and remarked:
"What a gentle Oni-chan!"
She would have loved Rob to stay in Foosha Village for her, just as he would have liked her to join him and Robin on their journey. However, they both understood that their paths were different.
Another half month passed.
On this day, at the port of Foosha Village—
Rob, Robin, Makino, and the village chief, who had grown quite familiar with them, were busy loading many nautical supplies purchased in the village onto the small sailboat.
They waited for a month and a half, but Vice Admiral Garp never returned, and Rob, who had other plans, decided not to wait any longer.
Next—
It's time to set sail again.
"Thank you, Makino, Village Chief!"
After loading all the supplies, Rob and Robin thanked Makino and the village chief for their help.
The village chief had a hearty smile on his face:
"Hahaha... this small thing is not a big deal! Kid Rob, if you have time, come back to Foosha Village to visit!"
Rob nodded and said:
"We will be back! Hahaha..."
After speaking, Rob looked at Makino with a reluctant smile.
Nodding and smiling, he said:
"Makino, take care of yourself. Next time we meet, I hope you'll still be as gentle and kind as you are now!"
Makino gently nodded, opened her arms, and gave Rob a hug:
"Bon voyage, Mr. Rob!"
Though surprised by Makino's hug, Rob didn't hesitate. He raised his hand to hug her back, then let her go.
After Robin also said her goodbyes to Makino, the two boarded the small sailboat, set sail, and left.
As the little sailboat departed, the village chief looked at Makino, who was standing beside him with a look of reluctance:
"Actually, you know you could leave with them. I would take care of your tavern and ensure it doesn't close down!"
Makino shook her head, restraining the reluctance on her face:
"No, it's fine. And Mr. Rob said they will come back!"
The village chief nodded and didn't say much, just walked leisurely towards the village with his hands behind his back. Regarding these children's matters, he knew it wasn't appropriate for him, as an adult, to interfere.
...
On the small sailboat, Rob was at the helm. Robin, who stood beside him, recalled the hug Makino had given her Oni-chan just before they left Foosha Village. She couldn't help but feel that the hug seemed more than just a friendly gesture!
Robin looked at her Oni-chan—
His maturing face was losing the immaturity of a little boy and becoming more handsome and attractive.
She spent so much time with him day and night, occasionally feeling fascinated by her Oni-chan's presence, let alone other people.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that Robin was looking at him, Rob turned to look at her.
Robin quickly looked away and said with a slight smile:
"Nothing at all!"
After a pause, Robin asked again:
"Where are we going next, Oni-chan?"
Rob looked up, thought for a while, and his eyes became determined as he said seriously:
"Shimotsuki Village!"
He was already a strong swordsman.
It was time to—
Obtain a very high-quality famous sword.
