Crash
On the sunny, breezy sea, the Angel is slowly sailing forward.
On the deck, Rob was practicing his thousand-flow sword skills as usual, Uta was lying on a hammock, covered with a blanket, taking a nap, and Robin was reading the newspaper!
This is what the three people on the Angel do most of the time.
swish
Practicing the thousand-flow sword technique for the last time, Rob stopped his movements.
Then turned to look at Robin:
"How is it? Is there any special news today?"
Closing the newspaper in her hand, Robin shook her head.
Standing up and coming to Rob's side:
"Nothing special happened! Most of the news is about Whitebeard, Kaido of the Beasts, Big Mom—Charlotte Linlin, whom you call the 'Three Emperors'. It's the same as before!"
"It's been a long time since Oni-chan has been in the headlines? Do you feel reconciled?"
The last time Rob hit the headlines was when he was in the Kingdom of Lulusia. He had a brief fight with Shanks, and the scene where the sky was torn apart was indeed quite shocking.
Although that battle was short, Morgans, who loves chaos in the world, still evaluated it as a top swordsman duel—the legendary battle of Lulusia, the duel of the strongest and youngest on the sea, and so on!
It sounds pretty intimidating.
But the fact is, the Red-Haired Pirates and their three siblings know that a strong man like Whitebeard doesn't care too much!
Just crack the sky.
No one will be the shocked, it's all the basic operation of the top powerhouses on the sea!
And hearing Robin's strange inquiry.
Rob smiled:
"What am I doing in the newspaper? Now I don't need to continue to improve my popularity, and I don't want to be the king! And it's not that I have never been in the newspaper, right?"
"Look—there's the news that we defeated the Iron Hat Pirates three days ago. This is also a big pirate who survived the sea hegemony war!"
Speaking of which.
Rob paused, then said:
"And the greater the reputation, the greater the chance of our researching the Poneglyph being exposed. When the time comes, the power we have to face will become quite huge! It's not worth it!"
Hearing the words.
Robin sticks out her tongue and hugs Rob's arm.
She said:
"Of course I know that kind of thing! I'm not an idiot! It's just that I still like to see Oni-chan on the front page headlines, and Oni-chan has such strength!"
After laughing, Rob scratches Robin's nose:
"Yes yes yes! We are still very young now, and we will have plenty of opportunities in the future, so don't worry about it for a while! I'm going to take a bath, so can you prepare it? It's too much."
Robin nodded.
After Robin responded, her beautiful eyes sparkled:
"Oni-chan, do you want me to rub your back? Recently, I read a book on massage techniques and learned a few tricks. By the way, Can I give Oni-chan a massage?"
Rob glanced at Robin, who was full of anticipation, wanting to rub his back and massage him. He glanced at Uta, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but hesitate.
Sensing Rob's hesitation, Robin took a step forward and dragged Rob directly to the bathroom:
"Come on! Come on! Oni-chan, believe in me. I can definitely satisfy you! Hee hee hee..."
As he was dragged into the bathroom, a smile appeared on Rob's face:
"Aside from rubbing my back and massaging, don't do anything unnecessary!"
Hearing Rob's request, Robin responded eagerly:
"Yes yes yes! Oni-chan, hurry up!"
While talking, Robin pushed Rob directly into the bathroom to take a bath.
In the evening hours, the sun was setting, there was no wind on the sea, and there were no waves. The Angel just stopped on the sea, not moving forward or backward. This situation is very common in the Grand Line, just stopping to rest.
At this time, on the deck of the Angel, Rob was sitting in front of a piano, Robin was holding a violin, and Uta was wearing a princess dress with her cute two-tone hair styled like headphones!
At the same time, there was a video Den Den Mushi next to them, recording the figures of Rob, Robin, and Uta.
"So—"
After looking at each other, Rob had a smile on his face:
"The first concert on the Platinum Angel—World Diva—Uta's concert, officially begins! 'Binks' Sake', please enjoy!"
As his voice fell, the brisk music was played by Rob's nimble fingers. Robin also played the violin, and the sound of the chord piano music joined in. At the end of the happy prelude, the three began to sing together:
"Yo ho ho ho~ Yo ho ho ho~"
"Going to deliver Binks' Sake! Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves! Far across the salty depths! The merry evening sun! The birds sing as they draw circles in the sky!"
"Yo ho ho ho~ Yo ho ho ho~"
Rob and Robin's accompaniment and singing were perfect, and Uta's singing was even more so. The song played by the three of them is familiar to everyone on the sea, and almost everyone can sing "Binks' Sake". The consensus was that it was truly high-level!
Although there were only two instruments, the venue wasn't professional, and the recording wasn't top-notch, it all added up to high-level music!
After finishing one song, the music played by Rob changed directly. He had studied music for so long independently, then composed it for Uta.
And then there was a brand new song!
In their spare time today, the three of them held a singing performance, preparing a total of four songs to satisfy Uta's wish for a small concert!
Naturally, it was impossible to sing just one song and stop.
As the three siblings continued their small concert on the Angel, nearby in a windless area where everything seemed still, ten pirate ships sailed recklessly!
They soon sailed into the windless area, then began to paddle manually, continuing to move forward.
These pirate ships had an extraordinary history—
Their flag displayed a huge skull with two horns. This pirate flag had become a symbol of deterrence in the New World in recent years.
It was the pirate flag of the Beasts Pirates!
And the pirate ship leading the fleet was quite eye-catching.
Very iconic—
A huge elephant head with ivory relief.
On the deck of the Mammoth, among the Beasts Pirates, was one of the youngest All-Stars, the district manager of Wano's Kuri, now only twelve years old. He was a Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Ancient Zoan Model: Mammoth, Jack the Drought!
Despite being only twelve years old, he was already quite burly, nearly five meters tall. Jack wore an iron mask on his face and looked forward with excitement in his eyes, his mood surging.
The reason was simple—
This was his first time going out on a mission alone, and it was personally arranged by his loyal Mr. Kaido, filling Jack's heart with energy and ambition!
"We must not disappoint Mr. Kaido's expectations!"
Jack's gaze gradually became calm as he looked at the still sea ahead, saying in a deep voice:
"I will do my best to meet all of Mr. Kaido's expectations! That man is destined to become the Pirate King! Anyone who dares to stand in our way, no matter who, must die!"
Just when Jack was imagining the expected picture of returning to Wano after completing the mission and being able to get Kaido's praise, a subordinate on the Mammoth suddenly shouted:
"Captain Jack, there is a ship parked on the sea in front of us on the left, without any movement!"
Hearing the subordinate's reminder, Jack frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face.
He said sternly:
"Is it a Marine warship?"
Hearing Jack's question, the subordinate immediately replied:
"It's not a Marine warship! If the ship is not mistaken, it should be..."
Before the subordinate could finish, Jack waved his hand, impatiently interrupting:
"Forget it! It doesn't matter what kind of ship it is, our operation this time is a secret mission, and it must not be known by others! Fire at it and sink that ship! On this route, it is their misfortune to meet us!"
Hearing Jack's order, the subordinate looked dumbfounded:
"Eh?!! Captain Jack, are you serious? That ship is Rob's Platinum Angel, which has become famous in the New World for more than a year!"
swish
Jack looked at this subordinate with sharp eyes. Despite being only twelve years old, his nearly five-meter-tall frame was full of oppressive force. A single look made the subordinate sweat profusely.
thump
ha
thump
Stepping towards the subordinate, Jack said in a low voice:
"'The world's greatest swordsman'? It's just a little guy who came out of nowhere! Even if it's his ship, so what?"
thump
Standing in front of the subordinate, Jack angrily said:
"We came here with a secret mission assigned by Mr. Kaido! We absolutely must not let anyone know our whereabouts, and no one can know—do you understand what I mean?"
"It doesn't matter who the other party is. Do you think Mr. Kaido will care? All the plans are made by Mr. Kaido; we just need to implement them!"
Sending the subordinate flying with one punch, Jack said in a deep voice to the other subordinates:
"Also—who do you think I am?"

----
The atmosphere on the Mammoth was tense.
Jack, with cold eyes, looked at all his subordinates:
"Do you think you can underestimate me? Who do you think I am?"
Under Jack's gaze, the men on the Mammoth and Jack's subordinates all backed away in fright, yet all of them had confident smiles on their faces!
They shouted out Jack's name:
"As expected of Master Jack!"
"Captain Jack, amazing!"
"Hahaha! That's right, the 'world's greatest swordsman' is just a brat! Master Jack is the strongest swordsman!"
swish
He waved his hand, then turned to look forward to the left, and saw the Platinum Angel, which had already appeared in their line of vision and was motionless on the sea.
Jack's eyes were full of fighting spirit:
"Steer the rudder for me! Is it 'the greatest swordsman in the world'? Just let me meet him for a while! Hurry up and get ready, and let me drive the boat!"
Following Jack's order, Mammoth passed by within the line of sight of both parties, turned around directly, and came straight towards the Angel!
It looked menacing, as if angels were beings they could control at will!
And at the same time—
aboard the Angel.
Uta's last song, "I Am the Strongest," had been completed.
The sound of the piano ended, and then fell slowly.
swish
Rob, who was sitting at the piano, opened his closed eyes, a red light flashed in his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and there was a bit of coldness on his face, a ray of murderous intent permeating the air!
"Well,"
he sighed.
Rob stood up from the piano chair, looked at the direction where the Mammoth was sailing, and said helplessly:
"There are a lot of idiots in this world!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin and Uta, who had also put down their violins and ended this small concert, looked at the Mammoth, which was getting closer and closer.
Robin looked at Rob with beautiful eyes:
"Oni-chan, are you angry?"
He stretched out his hand and rubbed Uta's little head that had come to him.
Rob grinned:
"A little bit! But it's okay, at least he didn't interrupt our concert for Uta. Otherwise, even if Kaido came here in person today, he would have to leave something for me before he could go!"
Although these words were very arrogant, Rob had the qualifications to say them!
The huge Beasts Pirates logo on the Mammoth, the unique shape of the bow, and the aura sensed through Observation Haki allowed Rob to determine who was coming.
The smallest All-Star in the Beasts Pirates, Jack the Drought!
"Let's go!"
Stretching his body, Rob tidied up the suit he wore for Uta's small concert.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Let's see what the Beasts Pirates want with us!"
While talking, Rob took Robin and Uta directly to the deck at the bow. They didn't steer the boat out of the way or show any signs of attack. The three siblings just casually waited for the Mammoth to approach with curiosity!
Their actions were clearly seen by Jack on the Mammoth.
Immediately, Jack's face darkened:
"Bastards! What's with that unprepared action? What's with that leisurely attitude? Do they think I'm a guest? Is this how they welcome me?"
bang-
His fists clenched loudly.
Jack was furious:
"They really underestimate me! Get ready for shelling, boys!"
Following Jack's order, all the pirates on the Mammoth started to move. The cannons were pushed into position, and they began to load the shells, ready to attack the Platinum Angel.
While the pirates under Jack were acting, a sneer formed on the corner of Rob's mouth.
His powerful Observation Haki accurately saw their movements. While sensing the strong malice on the Mammoth, he also saw the future scene of the Mammoth firing at them.
Seeing the future in the next ten seconds, Rob subconsciously sighed:
"The hostility comes just like that, and the cannons fire right away, huh? Typical Jack!"
For all the actions on the Mammoth and Jack's behavior of directly firing without even wanting to talk, Rob wasn't even slightly surprised!
Beasts Pirates, ruthless as ever.
Confirmed.
This Jack the Drought—
A purebred, pureblooded Beasts Pirate indeed.
After a moment of reflection, Rob's figure left an afterimage from the bow of the Angel and swiftly moved towards the Mammoth. In less than a second, Rob's figure had already appeared in the sky above the Mammoth.
swish swish
The suit on his body fluttered, and Rob looked at Jack on the Mammoth, his pupils lighting up with a red glow.
boom!
The terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rob's body instantly. In just a moment, the experienced elites of the Beasts Pirates on the Mammoth fell into a coma, their eyes rolling and foaming at the mouth as they hit the ground.
Click——
Even the decks and railings of the Mammoth were instantly cracked by Rob's Conqueror's Haki.
None of the pirates could stand still. Even Jack, the most powerful on the whole ship, swayed violently, unable to remain upright, and directly knelt on the ground on one knee.
Looking up, Jack's eyes flickered with horror as he gazed at Rob above the Mammoth:
"Same as Mr. Kaido... Conqueror's Haki?!"
prickly——
Rob descended from the air, his fist covered in the black lightning unique to Conqueror's Haki.
Rob's tone was calm:
"Correct answer! Let me give you some advice—young people, don't be too arrogant! This should impact your future life... assuming you survive my attack!"
Bang
As the words fell, Rob's fist, infused with Conqueror's Haki, struck the Mammoth from above with immense force.
bang——
The combined power of his internal energy, Rob's Conqueror's Haki, and his terrifying strength obliterated the Mammoth instantly, reducing it to fragments.
"Puff!"
Now, the twelve-year-old Jack the Drought, who had left Wanokuni full of high spirits, experienced his first instant defeat. His horns shattered, his iron mask broke, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned white, and he bled from all seven orifices, losing consciousness. He fell into the sea, sinking to the bottom.
Whether he would die, Rob didn't care; it depended on Jack's own luck.
Even more unfortunate than Jack, all the pirates of the Beasts Pirates on this ship lost their lives under this punch, their bodies buried in the deep sea along with the fragments of the Mammoth!
After one blow, Rob's figure, as it was about to fall, instantly disappeared from its original position. When he reappeared, he had teleported back to his previous position through the elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Holding his hands together, he looked at the remaining bits of the Mammoth floating on the sea, his face calm and composed, showing no anxiety or panic about provoking one of the New World sea overlords.
Robin's face was slightly serious as she looked at Rob who had returned:
"Oni-chan, will it be okay to kill the Beasts Pirates? I heard that Kaido, the Beast, is recognized by the whole world as the strongest creature, someone no one can kill!"
Hearing Robin talk about Kaido's reputation, Rob couldn't help but smile:
"There are no creatures in this world that can't be killed! Even gods can be killed! As for Kaido, if he really couldn't be killed, he'd be ruling the world by now, not just occupying Wanokuni in the New World."
"Let's use a simple analogy to explain killing Kaido—make him eat another Devil Fruit. Do you think he'd survive that?"
Robin was stunned for a moment and replied:
"Eh?! Can it really work like that? That's right! You can only eat one Devil Fruit. If you eat two, your body can't bear the power of the fruit and it will explode!"
The iron law of Devil Fruits in this world—
Ordinary people can only eat one Devil Fruit, otherwise their body can't withstand the power and will explode!
Robin naturally knew this iron law, but she hadn't considered it in the context of Kaido. She instinctively thought that if Kaido couldn't be killed, he must be invincible. But Rob's reminder made her realize there were many ways to deal with him!
The world of grown-ups—
It's really complicated!
Blackbeard, who would get the Dark-Dark Fruit in the future, is a special case, allowing him to have two, or even more, Devil Fruit abilities. But would Kaido dare to eat a second one?
He wouldn't dare to eat a second Devil Fruit!
Because it's a mortal action, a guaranteed way to die. His seemingly reckless behavior earns him a reputation. Titles like:
The strongest creature.
Immortal.
The strongest in a one-on-one fight.
Once these titles pile up, Kaido's reputation in the pirate world becomes enormous!
So, Kaido's suicidal tendencies are just a facade for the benefits he gains behind the scenes.
If he truly wanted to die, he'd eat another Devil Fruit.
Guaranteed death!
It's worth mentioning—
Rob can also consume more than two Devil Fruits now, thanks to his fifth talent—Ultimate Sublimation of Devil Fruits. But only the ones that have undergone ultimate sublimation, not ordinary ones.
After Robin and Uta's Devil Fruit abilities awaken, and Rob removes all their side effects, they can also eat a second Devil Fruit that has been sublimated to the utmost.
So—
Blackbeard's unique physique, after Rob obtained the fifth talent—Extreme Sublimation, is no longer unique.
