Capítulo 28: 28. Great Grade Blade!
"Ha--"
After practicing the sword technique ten times, Rob let out a breath of stale air and then took off his clothes. He held the straight sword in his hand, jumped into the sea, and sank toward the bottom as usual. The practice of his ultimate sword technique had already paid off, but there was still a long way to go before he could master it!
Robin was no stranger to this. Ever since she knew that her Oni-chan could hold his breath for hours at the bottom of the sea, and even fight fiercely underwater for nearly two hours, she never worried about him going into the sea.
An hour passed.
Just when Robin was tired from reading and was about to take a break, a news coo flew in the sky. She raised her hand to beckon it down and bought a newspaper from the bird. Robin looked at it curiously and saw a report about Rob in a small section of the newspaper.
Surprised, she exclaimed, "Oni-chan is in the newspaper!"
[The nine-year-old genius swordsmith who forged five Grade swords and two Skillful Grade swords!]
This was a small report. The news was about Rob creating swords. There was also a small frontal photo of Rob, showing his immature but handsome face.
"It's so handsome!" Looking at Rob's photo with a smile, Robin said, "As expected of my Oni-chan! I'll save the newspaper and show it to him later! He is going to become famous across the seas! Hehehe..."
Another half hour passed.
Splash—
Rob's figure flew out of the sea amidst the sound of splashes, and he landed firmly on the green grass on the shore.
Seeing that Rob's training was over, Robin took the newspaper in her hand and walked quickly to his side. "Oni-chan, you're in the newspaper!"
While speaking, Robin showed Rob the small news report about him.
After taking a few glances, Rob was somewhat surprised. "Genius swrodsmith? Interesting! I thought we would be famous for destroying so many pirates when we sailed in West Blue and the Grand Line!"
"I didn't expect that at that time, I didn't have any reputation at all, but instead became famous for forging a few swords?"
As for reputation, Rob didn't try to build it at the beginning. But he didn't deliberately hide himself either. He didn't hide his strength before in the small town of West Blue and on some islands in the Grand Line.
As a result, he was overlooked by the reporters, but now he was published in the newspaper because of making a few good swords. How do you describe this feeling? It's subtle.
Clap--
After a quick look, Rob put away the papers, then put on his trousers and clothes. Looking at Robin, he said, "Let's go! Let's head back! I have adjusted my condition to the best! Tomorrow, I will try to forge the first Great Grade sword of my life!"
Hearing this, Robin nodded obediently, "Yes! Oni-chan~!"
The dancing Robin, like a little butterfly, circled around Rob. The two chatted and walked towards the village's Isshin Dojo. There was a kind of golden boy and jade girl, the feeling of childhood sweethearts!
...
The next day, in the forging workshop:
Rob was shirtless, his face serious, eyes bright, and expression focused. Observing and learning, Koshiro was responsible for pulling the bellows.
"Mr. Koshiro, light the fire!"
Upon hearing Rob, Koshiro looked serious. "Yes! Teacher Rob!"
As the saying goes, those who have mastered it come first. In the art of forging, Rob was much better than Koshiro, even surpassing Kozaburo, who first taught him. So when Rob forged a skillful grade sword, Koshiro called him Teacher Rob. And Rob accepted this title with peace of mind. After all, he was indeed better than Koshiro in forging technique, and even in sword skills, Rob was superior to Koshiro.
Soon, with Koshiro at the helm, Rob began to concentrate on using one of the high-quality iron materials Kozaburo had given him to forge the first top-level weapon in his short forging career!
...
Ten days passed.
On this day, inside the forging workshop:
Rob, smelling of sweat, held a sword that had completed all the processes in his hand. The blade was 115 cm long, the handle 30 cm long, and the blade itself was 85 cm long. It had a wave-like quenching pattern, a hollow pattern sword, and the handle was a uniform purple with a simplified crane pattern on it.
Hum!
Rob held this long sword with calm eyes, his fingers gently caressing the blade. He could fully feel the unreserved sharpness of this sword. It was definitely a rare top weapon in the world!
Next to Rob, Koshiro wiped the sweat from his face, looking at the treasured sword in his hand with admiration.
"What a beautiful sword! Teacher Rob, this sword has undoubtedly reached the quality of a Great Grade blade! As the 'father' of its birth, give it a name!"
Hearing these words, Rob was taken aback, then nodded. "It is indeed possible to give it a name!"
The swords that Rob had made before were all given away or sold by him at will. He had never given a name to the swords he made. Now that he had created a famous sword of the Great Grade level, he could indeed give it a name. This sword would surely become a representative work of his forging career!
"Shiraha!"
Looking at the wavy pattern on the blade and the cold light it emitted, Rob settled on its name.
"The name of this sword is the Meito—Shiraha!"

Capítulo 29: 29. 98% Success Rate!
After deciding on a name for this sword, Rob sheathed it in the scabbard he had prepared long ago, and then handed over this big sharp sword to Koshiro beside him.
With a serious expression, Rob entrusted Koshiro:
"I will leave Shiraha to you, Mr. Koshiro. Please be sure to hand it over to an outstanding swordsman, so that this sword will shine its own light in this world! Please."
Hearing these words, Koshiro initially planned to decline, but seeing Rob's firm gaze, he finally accepted Shiraha solemnly.
With determination, Koshiro replied:
"Okay! Teacher Rob, don't worry, I will definitely find a swordsman for Shiraha who is worthy of it!"
Hearing Koshiro's words, Rob nodded, thinking of a certain green-haired kid who might not even be born yet.
With a sparkle in his eyes, Rob continued:
"Mr. Koshiro, rather than handing Shiraha to a famous swordsman, I prefer to give it to a young man who is talented and hardworking enough to grow with it, eventually turning it into a black blade!"
This request hinted at Rob's hope that, in 1509 or 1510, the green-haired boy at the Isshin Dojo would receive Shiraha. However, he didn't spell this out clearly, just expressed a hopeful prospect.
Whether the green-haired boy would get Shiraha at that time depended on his own luck.
Honestly, Rob looked forward to the day when this boy would win the title of "World's No. 1 Swordsman", wielding Shiraha all the way, leading up to a decisive battle with him. It should be very interesting!
After a stretch, Rob noticed Koshiro holding Shiraha as if he was holding his own wife, which made Rob speechless.
Then Rob said:
"Mr. Koshiro, go and take a break! Prepare yourself. In three days, I'm going to start forging my own Supreme Grade sword! With my experience, I'm already 98% sure of success!"
Swish—
Koshiro's eyes lit up, his face became extremely serious, and he said loudly:
"Yes! Teacher Rob, don't worry, after three days, I will definitely not hold you back!"
Subsequently, Koshiro left the forging workshop with Shiraha in his arms, eager to share the news with Kozaburo.
At the same time, Koshiro eagerly anticipated the forging process in three days. According to Rob, he was about to forge a sword at the highest level. Not only would this excite him, but also his father, Kozaburo, would be thrilled upon hearing the news.
As for doubting Rob's success?
Over the past six months, Rob had performed many miracles, proving to Kozaburo, Koshiro, and his son that his existence itself was a miracle.
What's the difference between a 98% success rate and 100%?
Absolutely nothing!
...
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day—
In the forging workshop, all the materials were prepared, and Rob was ready to formally forge his own weapon. This time, not only did Koshiro come to help, but Kozaburo also came to assist.
"Please!"
Rob stood shirtless, his eyes very serious.
"Mr. Kozaburo, Mr. Koshiro!"
After hearing Rob's words, Kosaburo, Koshiro, and his son, all dressed similarly to Rob, nodded with serious expressions.
Kozaburo spoke:
"I have never been able to forge a Supreme Grade sword in my life... Although the Enma I created before, if it can be tempered into a black blade, should also have the quality of a Supreme Grade sword!"
"But I have to say—"
"When Enma was born, it didn't meet my expectations! This time, let me witness the birth of a real Supreme Grade sword! Can it be done, Rob?"
Hearing Kosaburo's words, Rob showed a confident smile, his mouth raised:
"Certainly!"
With that, the three of them started their work, and soon, the steady and rhythmic sound of blacksmithing began to echo!
Ding—
Ding—
Ding—
Outside the forging workshop, Robin held the little girl Kuina in her arms, looking expectantly at the workshop emitting heat. When Rob finished forging his own sword, they should be able to start a new sailing trip.
Recently, after reading a large number of books in Isshin Dojo, Robin recalled the joy of learning ancient characters at the beginning and gradually wanted to study the Poneglyphs!
Robin realized that the real reason Ohara was completely destroyed was because they studied the Poneglyphs. Researching these ancient texts and trying to uncover the blank century of history was the reason the World Government, which is thorough in its eradication, annihilated Ohara.
Although the newspapers did not report it, and the bounties for Olvia and the expedition team members were not issued, Robin understood that, like Ohara, her mother and the historical expedition had been destroyed by the World Government.
Out of a rebellious state of mind and her own curiosity about the Poneglyphs and the blank century of history, Robin began to form the idea of wanting to unravel the historical truth!
And this thought—
It might be dangerous, but she really wanted to pursue it!
So, after Oni-chan's sword was successfully built, she planned to discuss it with him. If Oni-chan supported it, she would pursue her studies. If Oni-chan didn't support it, she would change her dream!
Just as Olvia didn't want to bring danger to her and Rob, Robin didn't want to bring danger to Rob because of her own will!
...
This time, forging the sword took longer than when forging Shiraha!
Twenty days.
Twenty full days—
All the movement in the forging workshop came to a halt!
Now,
Inside the workshop—
A straight demonic sword exuding a dark red aura was embedded in the polished stone platform. Through the blade, one could feel a faint, tingling cold sensation on the skin!
