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.

The deck of the Angel.
Robin tilted her head after thinking for a moment about the many rumors surrounding Kaido's immortality.
Looking at Rob:
"Then according to you, the admiral of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido of the Beasts... isn't very weak?"
Rob was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how Robin came to the conclusion that Kaido is weak. Although it's possible to underestimate the enemy strategically, the idea that Kaido is weak is absolutely unacceptable!
Kaido is not weak. On the contrary, he is a top fighter, especially after he dealt with Kozuki Oden using unsightly means. The torment he endured has only made him more tenacious!
He is definitely among the very few at the apex of the pyramid.
"This..."
Folding his hands, Rob's face became serious:
"Although Kaido wants to die, it's very difficult to kill him! There is no one in the sea who can single-handedly kill him at this stage."
"That guy - a born warrior since he was a child, has physical defense and vitality beyond imagination, top Conqueror's Haki plus a Mythical Zoan devil fruit.
"He is an existence whose mind, body, and skills have been trained to the peak! Even if I want to kill Kaido now, the probability of success is not high! But I can guarantee a tie, or even win!"
Indeed--
Rob is strong.
He is very confident in his own strength, and he also knows his own strength. In the entire sea, there are only a few opponents he can't defeat, and the people on current sea who can fight against him, you can easily count them on your fingers!
But being strong doesn't mean invincible, maybe give him another five years, he can be confident that he is invincible in the whole world.
But not now!
Although he has many talents and a promising future, he needs time to grow. Kaido is also full of talents. When he was a child, he was a monster who could be regarded as the Heavenly Tribute. His talents must be terrifying.
And like the 43-year-old Kaido, he is in the middle of his prime, the absolute peak of his age!
Fighting him.
Rob promises that he can fight and even win, but there is no guarantee that he can successfully kill Kaido!
Such a strong man, once he actively wants to save his life, it is almost impossible to kill him when he is in his prime!
After explaining Kaido's strength to Robin.
Rob solemnly said:
"All in all, Beasts-Kaido is indeed a formidable enemy! After our voyage, just be careful! But don't worry too much, after all, we are not weak, we are also Kaido's formidable enemy!"
"He is a smart man, and he won't fight against us with great fanfare!"
Hearing these words, Robin nodded knowingly and said:
"I got it! Anyway, with Oni-chan around, I'm not afraid of anyone...even if it's death, I won't be afraid!"
Boom.
Rob tapped Robin's little head lightly and said in a reproachful tone:
"Idiot! Don't talk about 'death.' With me, you can always do what you want! Even if you die... Oni-chan will die before you! Got it?"
With a sweet smile on her pretty face, Robin opened her arms and hugged Rob, rubbing against his chest.
"Oni-chan...hehehe...I like you the most!"
Seeing Robin's action, Uta on the side pouted and said:
"Too cunning! Onee-chan is too cunning! Uta wants to hug Ni-chan too!"
Hearing this and seeing Uta with her small mouth raised in dissatisfaction, Rob smiled heartily. After letting go of Robin, he hugged Uta as well and pecked her small face.
Dotingly, he said:
"Yoshi! Yoshi! Our Uta is so cute!"
After being kissed and praised for being cute, Uta's little face turned red immediately. She then buried her head in Rob's arms with a shy face, her cuteness soaring!
Just when Rob was about to pack up the piano and violin, Robin held his arm, looked at him with big watery eyes, and then put her pretty face in front of him with an expectant expression. It was self-evident what she wanted from Rob.
Seeing her like this, Rob was helpless but satisfied her, kissing her pretty face!
"My family has a girl who has just grown up—"
This is what Rob thinks most when he sees Robin now.
By the time the piano and other things on the deck were put away, the sky had completely darkened.
After the Rob siblings had dinner—
Whoosh!
A strong wind blew, and the sails of the Angel inflated. The whole ship began to sail slowly forward.
"Got windy!"
Rob, who was lying on the deck looking at the endless starry sky, sat up and felt the breeze.
Frowning, he said:
"In the middle of the night, there may be a storm! It will be difficult to sleep then! I'll handle the boat for now. You two go rest! When there's a storm, you'll come to help!"
Listening to Rob's arrangements, Robin also got up from the lawn on the deck. After saying good night, she hugged Uta and went to rest.
Waiting until they leave.
Rob also sat on the long seat, and after a lazy day, he began to look at the Angel, which slowly sailed towards the destination ahead.
Looking at this exclusive boat built by himself, he thought:
"I wonder if my fifth talent - the ultimate sublimation can also strengthen the Platinum Angel, so it can give birth to a ship spirit or have the function of automatic navigation!"
"Then there would be no need for a night watch."
When sailing, someone needs to keep watch at night, and the Angel is no exception. It's not that you're worried about encountering enemies but about the complicated ocean environment. If you're not careful, there will be big problems!
Although the Angel is completely built with the treasure tree Adam, it is not absolutely indestructible!
If the Angel could give birth to a ship spirit who can automatically control the entire ship upon hearing the command, or have a real soul, future voyages would naturally be easier for Rob.
"If I continue to use the ultimate sublimation to upgrade the Angel, will it eventually become a super battleship that can sail on the sea, sneak underwater, and even fly in the sky?"
Rob's eyes brightened with interest:
"This is not impossible! After all, the only limitation of the fifth talent - the ultimate sublimation is that it can only be used once a year, and there is no limit to the number of times a certain treasure can be used!"
"Wait a minute—"
"If the boat is fine, can I also sublimate a Devil Fruit to the utmost? Or can I sublimate the sword in my hand to the utmost?"
His right hand hammered on the palm of his left hand.
Rob's eyes gleamed:
"I was blind, I just discovered a brilliant point! I must give it a try in the future. I will continue to sublimate a certain thing to see if there is any limit...and other talents should be able to be developed in this way!"
At this very moment—
Rob felt as if he had unlocked a new level of understanding!
"But thinking about it, as a cheat system, talents that can only be unlocked when conditions are met, are they really so limited?"
"It seems—"
Rob looked ahead and said in a deep voice:
"I still don't know enough about my own talent! From now on, I need to focus more on my talents!"
The five talents he has already activated—
They are the real foundation of Rob's current strength and status in the world. He needs to have more awareness of his own talents. There may be aspects of his existing talents that he does not fully understand or has misunderstood.
Thinking about his talent, Rob guarded the Angel and sailed forward through the night!
Five days later.
On a spring island in the New World, which has a human town and is quite suitable for human survival, Rob still wore his casual dress style, with a magic tunic pinned around his waist, and walked leisurely in the streets of the town.
Behind him, Robin and Uta were eating marshmallows while leisurely following Rob.
Above the street.
A boy selling newspapers with a schoolbag on his back and a newspaper in his hands shouted as he walked:
"Today's newspaper has arrived! It has the latest news about the Overlord of the Sea - Beasts Pirates! Today's newspaper has arrived! It has the latest news about the Overlord of the Sea - Beasts Pirates!"
Hearing the message from the mouth of the newspaper-selling kid, Rob's eyes lit up. He went straight to buy a new newspaper at the same price of 100 berries as News coo.
He looked at the news headlines:
"[Beasts Pirates All-star - Jack the Drought was rescued from serious injuries! Is there a powerful force in the New World that wants to compete with Beasts Pirates for supremacy? Is a new war coming?]"
After looking at the content of this news, Rob had some thoughts:
"Tsk tsk tsk... As expected, he didn't die! But that's right, he's also an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit user, and a fish-man, so it's normal for him to be alive! But Morgans, that birdman, has excellent intelligence capabilities!"
"The Beasts Pirates are based in Wanokuni, which is almost isolated from the outside world. For him to get the news that Jack was seriously injured and rescued, and report it, is indeed newsworthy!"
Big news - Morgans
This guy is a talent. He controls the distribution of newspapers and public opinion in the sea. He has a very good ability to guide public opinion on many things!
Snapped!
After reading the news with interest, Rob rolled up the newspaper and thought:
"Jack has returned to Wanokuni! That means... Kaido already knows that I defeated Jack! It seems there will be some trouble in the next trip! Interesting!"
He and Kaido must have a fight, but he doesn't want to do it now!
Only--
Whether to go to war depends on what Kaido decides.
