Capítulo 37: 37. The Strongest!
"I will let the world, when they say 'the strongest', only think of me!"
Rob's tone was full of ambition, his eyes gleaming with determination.
For the goal of becoming "the strongest"—
He was determined to achieve it!
Sa!
Shanks, who had taken Rob's sword strike, staggered back.
With an admiring smile on his face, he said, "What an amazing dream! As expected of someone with such a terrifying Haki at the age of ten!"
Hearing Shanks' words, the smile on Rob's face remained unchanged. Then he raised his sword, Shinto.
Zheng—
He unleashed a flying slash, splitting the ground into a smooth gully. Rob's speed surged, and as the red-haired man dodged the slash, Rob was already above him.
Holding up Shinto, the combination of flowing Armament Haki and the demonic aura emanating from the blade showed how fierce Rob's next strike would be!
Snap—
Facing Rob's sword, Shanks, already at a disadvantage, did not dare to be careless. He gripped his sword with both hands, wrapping it in Armament Haki, and met Rob's strike head-on.
Clang—
The moment the two swords collided, violent sword energy erupted, destroying the ground, seawater, and trees by the shore. The area where Shanks stood cracked under the pressure.
After one clash, Shanks was forced to retreat again, flying back into the forest!
Sa—
Rob's figure followed like a shadow, Shinto in hand, slashing relentlessly at Shanks. The two battled fiercely, entering the forest on the small island.
Bang! Bang!
Boom!
BOOM!
The violent battle soon spread across the entire island, with trees and terrain quickly destroyed by their fight.
...
From morning till night.
In the middle of the night—
The island, now dilapidated from the battle between Red-Haired Shanks and Rob, had lost its scenic beauty and taken on a unique desolation typical of a battlefield.
"Ha—"
"Ha—"
"Ha—"
Panting heavily, Shanks held his great sword, his body covered with crisscrossing wounds. The blood had scabbed, making him look quite miserable, though he had not sustained any serious injuries.
At this moment, Shanks' eyes were serious, with a hint of disbelief. He looked at Rob, who stood not far away, still in good condition despite a few battle marks. Their states were vastly different.
Rob had only a few shallow wounds, which were harmless. With his current physique, he would fully recover in a day or two without any scars!
Lost.
Seeing the state of both sides, the expression on Shanks' face relaxed. The fighting spirit that had been bursting from his body vanished in an instant, and he completely surrendered, no longer wanting to fight.
Pat—
After sheathing his sword, a hearty smile appeared on Shanks' face. He laughed loudly and said:
"Dahaha... I lost this battle! Teacher Rob, you are really strong! Dahaha... But one day, I will definitely win it back! When that time comes, I will invite Teacher Rob to guide and enlighten me again!"
Seeing the red-haired man, Shanks, who had completely subdued his fighting spirit, convinced and surrendered, and no longer wanted to fight, Rob pondered for a while. He then slowly sheathed his sword and, facing Shanks' declaration of a future rematch, nodded in acknowledgment.
With a casual demeanor, he said, "I will wait for you! But you are not my opponent now, and you will certainly not be my opponent in the future!"
Although Shanks had not yet reached his peak, Rob, as his opponent, was also far from his peak state and could be considered still in an immature developmental stage.
Shanks was bound to grow, and not too slowly. But Rob's aggressive progress would not stop, and his growth rate would definitely not be slower than Shanks'. So, in their next fight, Rob was confident that Shanks would still not be his match.
"Dahaha..."
With a hearty laugh, Shanks pressed the straw hat on his head, saying, "Who can know what will happen in the future? Maybe at that time, it will be my victory! And if you don't try hard, who can be sure you won't be able to do it?"
Nodding in agreement, Rob didn't refute Shanks' words, but his inner resolve remained unchanged.
Next time—
Shanks would still be the loser!
To borrow a phrase from someone else:
The enemy defeated by oneself will no longer be regarded as an opponent, and the opponent will be given time to catch up until I am out of sight!
"Have a banquet!" Shanks didn't care about his injuries at all and laughed loudly. "To celebrate making my friend Teacher Rob, and also to celebrate Teacher Rob successfully helping me create a handy weapon! The banquet is here! Dahaha..."
For the banquet invitation, Rob smiled and did not refuse.
Not long after, on the Red Force of the Red-Haired Pirates, a night banquet with singing and dancing started lively without any special reason.
...
The next day, on the sea near the island—
The small sailboat and the Red Force parted ways. The Red Force sailed in the direction of Loguetown, obviously heading for the Grand Line. Shanks said so before parting.
On the deck, Rob looked at the Red Force disappearing into the distance.
With a little smile on his face, he said, "Grand Line? I will go to that sea again soon!"
Da da da—
Robin, holding Uta, came to Rob's side with a smile on her face.
"Oni-chan is the strongest! Even the Grand Line can't stop Oni-chan!"
Hearing Robin's confidence in him, Rob smiled heartily. From Robin's arms, he took Uta, who had been screaming "Nini", and opened his hands for him to hug, then touched Robin's little head with his other hand.
Confidently, he said, "That's natural! After we stay in East Blue for a while, when Uta grows up, we will enter the Grand Line!"
Nodding, Robin enjoyed Rob's head pat.
"I listen to Oni-chan! Because Oni-chan is everything to me!"
While speaking, Robin's little face turned pink, her eyes shy, and her head lowered, which was quite cute and had some indescribable charm.
Rob didn't notice any change in Robin's mood. Holding Uta in his arms, he teased her while singing some nursery rhymes he had just learned recently. Occasionally, he could hear Uta babbling, singing along with specious words.
It could only be said that she was worthy of being a world singer in the future. Even though her life trajectory was completely different, the talent in singing was truly possessed since she was a child.

Capítulo 38: 38. The Time Of Turbulence! Return To The Grand Line!
Time flies.
Since the battle with Shanks, Rob and Robin took Uta to explore East Blue, and they have been traveling there for more than half a year!
The time is now—
It is Sea Circle Calendar 1504, the first half of March!
Just last month, Robin celebrated her eleventh birthday. Thanks to her nutrition, potential potions, body-building potions, and daily training, Robin's growth is excellent!
Now Robin—
With a height of 1.3 meters, fair skin, and beautiful, long hair fluttering, she has begun to show the graceful posture of a woman, slowly growing. You can see with the naked eye that she is a top-notch beauty in the making.
Robin has grown up a lot, and Rob has also changed a lot!
He is now eleven years old, his height growing naturally, and with continuous training, he has rapidly grown to a height of 1.5 meters. He has black messy hair, cropped pants, a flowered shirt, and flip flops, featuring a casual and unrestrained style!
Uta can walk now and speak some simple sentences to express her needs to Rob and Robin. She can clearly call the two "onee-san" and "onii-san."
Meanwhile, with Shanks entering the Grand Line, and gaining continuous fame through many battles with Dracule Mihawk, the world has reported on his sword - Gryphon.
Rob's reputation as the youngest sword forging master in history has also spread across the sea!
Especially later, when Rob revealed that he had forged a Supreme Grade sword himself, his position in the sword forging world was established.
The living legendary strongest swordsmith—
Many swordsmen and people at sea call Rob this.
This is normal. After all, whether it is Shimotsuki Kozaburo or Tenguyama Hitetsu, and many other legendary sword forging masters, they were already very old when they became famous, and the world now does not think that they are still alive.
This situation is—
Some people are alive, but everyone thinks they are dead.
The advantage of this huge reputation is that, without knowing it, he has gained the respect of some powerful and not bad-hearted swordsmen, and occasionally swordsmen who bring their own materials and money will ask him to forge handy weapons!
Occasionally he collects money, and occasionally Rob also asks for favors from each of them, gradually allowing him to accumulate a lot of contacts at sea.
Of course, there are also troubles. There are many greedy people trying to capture Rob, imprison him, constantly forge various famous swords, and covet the Supreme Grade sword in Rob's hand - Shinto.
And such people have all been buried at sea.
After many people died, many gradually understood that Rob, a living legendary swordsmith, not only had a great reputation, but his own strength was extremely terrifying!
All in all—
Every day in the Great Pirate Era, various changes are taking place!
On the deck.
Rob held a copy of today's newspaper in his hand and crossed his legs gracefully. On his lap, Uta lay asleep, using his leg as a crib, drooling.
Not long after, Robin, who had just finished a day's training, drank the potential potion, took a bath with the body-building potion, wiped her wet long hair, and wearing shorts and suspenders, sat beside Rob.
She asked:
"Is there any news worth noting? Onii-chan!"
He shook his head.
Rob had a smile on his face:
"There is no noteworthy news, most of it is related to those big forces in the New World, and there are not many other things worth noting! We are still in East Blue, and the 'New World' is too far from us!"
Most of the news during this time revolves around the Whitebeard Pirates, Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and some of the more famous big pirates of this era that have not been eliminated.
Of course.
There are not many young people—
Red Hair Pirates, Marine Hunter Dracule Mihawk, Gekko Moria, Crocodile and other characters are all in the New World, stirring up the winds and waves, and they are the central figures of the world in these years!
All in all—
The future powerhouses will all show their demeanor in this time period!
"Get ready!"
Putting down the newspaper, holding Uta in his arms, and wiping the crystal saliva from the corners of her mouth, Rob looked at Robin:
"We've had enough of East Blue too!"
"Next, we will also go to the Grand Line to have fun! Now the sea is magnificent, although we are still very young, I don't want to miss this era. It's time for the world to really hear our voice!"
Hearing Rob's words.
There was admiration in Robin's eyes, she looked at Rob, and nodded slightly:
"Okay!"
Although Robin doesn't know the meaning of being famous at sea and letting the world hear her voice, and she doesn't have much will, since it's what Onii-chan wants to do, she is willing to support him without reservation!
Now that you have decided to go to the Grand Line, you naturally need to make some preparations.
Log poses, etc. The things that Grand Line needs, Rob and Robin had already prepared them when they entered the Grand Line a few years ago, and now they need to prepare only materials!
Two days later.
The small sailboat arrived at Loguetown smoothly, and after replenishing a large amount of supplies here, it set sail again, carrying Rob, Robin, and Uta, who was like an spirit on the boat, and sailed in the direction of the Grand Line!
...
A few days later.
On a sunny day, the small sailing boat once again passed the upcurrent of Reverse Mountain, and finally went down the downcurrent. After more than two years, it successfully entered the Grand Line again!
Twin Capes.
The small sailboat docked on the shore, while Rob and Robin took Uta to the lighthouse, where they saw Crocus, who they hadn't seen for more than two years!
