Ten days passed.
Alabasta's external port - Nanohana --
Crash!
The small sailboat slowly docked at the Nanohana dock. After paying some parking fees to the Alabasta army guarding the dock, there was no need to worry about the safety of the small sailboat.
The current Alabasta is not the chaotic Alabasta seventeen years later!
As long as you are not a pirate, your actions will not be hindered in Alabasta.
Walking in the street.
Rob was riding with Uta on his shoulders, holding Robin's hand with his left. He wore a cool outfit of a flowered shirt, flip-flops, and cropped pants, with the sword Shinto casually pinned at his waist, and no one recognized Rob's identity!
The legend of the sea is still far away from the ordinary people who are struggling to live.
Unless it's someone like Roger, the Pirate King, or the future "Four Emperors", ordinary people only know about celebrities from a few dinner conversations!
Not to mention--
Rob and the three of them are just children, and not pirates, so they blend in even more.
"The citizens of this country seem to be living happily!"
Led by Rob, Robin, who didn't need to worry about her safety at all, observed the expressions of the people around her.
She said:
"Oni-chan, this country looks very good!"
Hearing Robin's words, Rob nodded slightly in approval:
"It's really good! This country has a long history. Although not all the kings have been wise, the current king of Alabasta, Nefertari Cobra, is a pretty good ruler!"
"And this country is a bit special compared to other World Government member countries!"
Alabasta—
This is the kingdom ruled by one of the twenty kings who once established the world government.
Unlike the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, the queen of Alabasta at that time did not move to live in the Holy Land of Mariejois to become a so-called world noble.
Instead, she returned to Alabasta to continue her rule!
Therefore, unlike other countries, where there is a complete fault in history, Alabasta has actually kept some historical truth materials from 800 years ago, not to mention that there are two Poneglyphs here.
This country—
There are definitely a lot of secrets waiting to be discovered!
After hearing Rob's words, Robin nodded thoughtfully, and then followed Rob to purchase the equipment needed for traveling in the desert, and also purchased some supplies.
After having a full meal here in Nanohana and renting a few desert camels, Rob took Robin and Uta directly into the desert.
On the camel's back, Rob sat firmly while Uta fell asleep in his arms.
Looking at Robin on the other camel, Rob said:
"Here in Alabasta, if there is no accident, there should be a Poneglyph! Next, we will look for it here! And here, I have another guy I want to defeat!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin rubbed her chin with uncertain eyes.
She asked:
"Oni-chan's goal here, is it... the Warlord of the Sea - Crocodile? He is now a nationally recognized hero in Alabasta. If he is defeated, there won't be any problems, right?"
The corners of Rob's mouth raised.
There was a smile in his eyes:
"You're too young."
"Do you think a pirate who is only twenty-seven years old, powerful, ambitious, and originally lawless would be so obedient and work hard to become a 'hero' of a special country without any purpose?"
The current Crocodile is twenty-seven years old.
He has served as a Warlord of the Sea for many years, and after a disastrous defeat to Whitebeard, he came to Alabasta to plan the acquisition of the Ancient Weapon - Pluton battleship. He also wants to start his own Utopia battle plan!
Although he has created a "hero" identity for himself as a Warlord of the Sea recognized by the World Government, any smart person can see that this guy has a lot of schemes!
Robin doesn't have much experience yet, so she believes that Crocodile truly cares about the identity of a "hero"!
Thoughtful, Robin was silent for a while.
Rob continued:
"A guy like Crocodile will not be satisfied with the status quo. He must be looking for something from Alabasta! But it has nothing to do with us. I just need to defeat him, step on his reputation, and become famous on the sea."
Robin nodded vigorously.
She said:
"Yeah! Oni-chan will definitely win!"
Showing a confident smile towards Robin, Rob's eyes looked at the endless desert ahead.
He has a complete set of plans to become famous as a traveler—
First, get the reputation of Crocodile, which is a must for travelers, and then go after Doflamingo, who has already made a big splash on the Grand Line and is starting to flourish in the underground world!
With the reputations of these two people under his feet, he should be officially recognized.
Then enter the New World.
If he feels ready, Mihawk, who just became a Warlord of the Sea not long ago and was gradually recognized by many swordsmen in the sea as the world's number one swordsman, will be next!
It's a pity that Moria at this moment has just experienced a disastrous defeat in the battle between Wanokuni and Kaido, and he is not yet a Warlord of the Sea. Otherwise, he could still gain a certain reputation!
And then—
See if he can shake those "tops"!
By that time, his reputation on the sea and his status among the various forces in the world should be enough for him to sail freely.
At that time, he will have enough time to grow and will not miss this period of turbulent times when strong men and heroes emerge in large numbers, ensuring he leaves no regrets in his life.
When Rob has had enough time to grow—
He will also become the strongest!
...
Time passed day by day.
Rob took Robin and Uta into the desert, searching for the Poneglyph buried under the wind and sand, never stopping their actions!
Five days.
...
Ten days.
...
Twenty days.
...
Finally, on the twenty-sixth day.
With Rob becoming stronger and stronger, he began to faintly hear the voices of inanimate objects through his powerful Observation Haki. By chance, he discovered the Poneglyph buried under the quicksand!

"Onii-chan is amazing!"
Standing in front of the huge Poneglyph, Robin touched the stele while looking at Rob in admiration and shock.
She spoke up:
"Across such a long distance, you can actually feel that this Poneglyph buried deep in the ground. Sasuga Onii-chan!" (T/N: as one would expect)
Hearing Robin's compliments, Rob folded his hands with an invincible smile on his face:
"Hahaha... Praise Onii-chan more!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin applauded Rob very cooperatively. Even Uta, who was touching the Poneglyph, also clapped cooperatively. She also said in a childish voice:
"Nii-nii, that's amazing!"
After laughing, Rob didn't say much. He just watched the content written on this Poneglyph together with Robin. Under Robin's teaching, he could also understand ancient characters.
He cared more about what his Observation Haki "heard," the voice that was constantly narrating the Poneglyph, and the content interpreted by this voice was exactly what was written in the ancient text of the inscription!
After a while, Rob, who interpreted the information recorded in this Poneglyph, had a thoughtful expression on his face:
"It seems that these Poneglyphs, even if one can't read ancient texts, one can use Observation Haki of the 'Listen to the Voice of All Things' level to interpret the historical information recorded in them! What a clever method, so that the people of destiny will be able to read the information of the Poneglyph, unraveling the truth of history little by little? I am already a little curious about this technology."
After realizing this, Rob didn't care about the Poneglyph anymore. Instead, he hugged Uta and played with her, leaving enough time for Robin to dig into this small ruin without disturbing her!
As for his Observation Haki progress?
It will reach the top soon!
Just like the first talent with no upper limit - born strong, and the third talent - learn and know, the second talent - peerless Haki, it is absolutely impossible to be limited to the Haki limit that is currently circulating in the sea!
Rob is confident in cultivating his Haki to a terrifying level that no one has ever seen before, a level of strength that surpasses all living beings and another dimension! Known at the top stage of Observation Haki, whether listening to the voice of all things or predicting the future, he will definitely be able to master them in the future, and these two skills will only be a new starting point for Rob!
Regarding this seemingly abrupt judgment, Rob himself is convinced.
...
Nighttime.
Under a sheltered rock in a corner of the desert—
Rob was packing up the tableware, while Robin next to him was coaxing little Uta to sleep after eating. The bonfire was crackling beside them, becoming a light in the desert at night!
"The Poneglyph in the desert has been obtained!"
After packing up his things, Rob sat by the campfire and said calmly:
"In the past 20 days, we have traveled almost the entire desert of Alabasta, and this is the last desert! Other places, there is no sound that is unique to the Poneglyph!"
"Next, let's go to various towns in Alabasta to see if we can hear the sound of the Poneglyph. If there is, that's the best. If not, it's still a trip!"
"Once this is over, I'll go settle things with Crocodile, and then we'll almost leave Alabasta!"
Listening to Rob's arrangements, there was a sweet smile on Robin's face. She scooted over, moved directly to Rob's side, snuggled into his arms, and then put her little head on his chest, leaning against him.
With a knowing smile, she said:
"As you say, Onii-chan! Hehehe... Onii-chan, I'm going to bed! Can you hold me?"
Hearing Robin's affectionate words, Rob showed a helpless and doting smile on his face. He gently nodded her head, letting her fall asleep in a comfortable position in his arms.
After pulling a blanket over and covering Robin, Rob looked over at the sleeping bag where little Uta was sleeping sweetly. He quietly began to watch the night.
As an older brother, it was always a matter of course to take care of his younger sister. This is probably the instinct of every older brother! This is how Rob understands the identity of "brother".
Of course, the premise is that when the younger sister grows up, she won't be that kind of white-eyed wolf! (T/N: It means someone who is ungrateful or cold-hearted)
...
Within the next half month—
Rob took Robin and Uta to end their exploration in the desert and began to leave footprints belonging to the three of them in various cities of Alabasta, watching the customs of Alabasta.
In the process, he also learned about Alabasta's various characters and stories. Although the current Rob can't tell the meaning of travel, he doesn't hate this kind of life! For one thing, it is enough not to hate it.
Yuba, Yuba, Katorea, and the capital of Alabasta—Alubarna!
While in Alubarna, Rob used the excuse that he heard the sound of the Poneglyph. He took Robin and Uta directly to sneak into the funeral hall of the Nefertari family at night and saw the Poneglyph recording the Ancient Weapon-Pluton battleship.
With Rob's current strength, it was not difficult to enter quietly, so seeing this Poneglyph did not arouse any movement from the Alabasta royal family!
"Next—"
In a hotel in Alubarna, Rob hugged Uta and looked towards the direction of Rainbase:
"It's the last goal in Alabasta! Seven Warlords of the Sea—Crocodile! We'll go to Rainbase tomorrow, and I will defeat Crocodile head-on before everyone is watching!"
Hearing him, Robin, who was recording the Poneglyph information they had just obtained, raised her head and looked at Rob. Holding her chin with an elegant and understanding smile on her face, her eyes were full of admiration!
