Rob and Shanks have finished their conversation!
Robin and Uta, who listened to the whole call, moved to Rob's side.
With a smile on Robin's face, she said:
"Great! Kaido's subordinates probably won't be dispatched if Shanks restrains them! The troublesome part of this matter is solved like this! Oni-chan!"
Regarding Robin's words, Rob nodded without denying it.
It's still possible for the current Shanks to restrain Kaido's subordinates.
Uta crawled into Rob's arms. Her big eyes looked at him:
"Ni-chan, are we going to sail again?"
Holding Uta in his arms, Rob nodded and smiled:
"It is indeed time to set sail! Kaido is very powerful, and a battle with him will destroy many things... It would be a pity if an island like this one is destroyed by the battle between me and Kaido!"
If the battlefield can be chosen, Rob prefers uninhabited islands to inhabited ones.
The next day, after preparing sufficient supplies, Rob and his siblings left the island with a human town and headed for the nearest large uninhabited island!
At the same time, the Red Force of the Red Hair Pirates also left their stronghold island and sailed directly towards Wanokuni.
After a few days, on the sea near Wanokuni, the ship of the Beasts Pirates, who had just left Wanokuni, and the Red Force, who had just arrived, met head-on!
On the huge main ship of the Beasts Pirates, thump! thump! thump! Kaido with two pointed horns, carrying a mace, followed by King, walked out of the cabin, looking at the Red Force blocking the way with a cold face and serious red hair.
Then he grinned:
"You brat from Roger's boat, you dare to block my way, you're quite brave! I don't hate a guy like you! Akagami, come and fight me! How about it?"
Hearing Kaido's words, Shanks also had a smile on his face and said:
"Please allow me to refuse! I don't want to be someone else's subordinate, I just want to take my companions and sail freely on the sea, that's all!"
Kaido was not at all surprised when Shanks refused his invitation. The big pirates who survived the hegemony war and persisted until now, and whose reputation in the New World is growing louder and louder, are not willing to submit to others.
In particular, this is especially true for people like Shanks, who have seen the true peak of the sea with Pirate King Roger at a young age.
"Since you didn't come to join me, then what are you doing here? Do you want to challenge my Wanokuni?"
Looking at Shanks, Kaido held the mace in his hand, already planning to fight.
Raising his hand to take off the straw hat on his head, gusts of sea breeze blew Shanks' flowing red hair, his face gradually becoming serious, and his aura rising.
Looking directly at Kaido, he said, "I'm here to prevent a war that will upend the balance of power on the sea!"
While talking, Shanks placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, Gryphon:
"Rob is one of my friends! If it was only you going to find him alone, I would not stop you, but you brought so many subordinates to bully my friend!"
"Please do me a favor! Let your subordinates stay, I will not take action against them, and at the same time, I will guarantee that during your absence, no one will be able to touch a single bit of your Wanokuni territory!"
Having said that, Shanks looked at Kaido with sharp eyes:
"How about it, Kaido?"
Hearing these words, Kaido smiled coldly and stepped forward.
In a cold voice, he said, "Wororororo... You think you can protect my territory?"
At the same time as the voice fell, Kaido suddenly jumped from the Beasts Pirates' ship, his towering figure of more than seven meters falling directly towards the Red Force where Shanks stood!
Raising the mace, he shouted, "Thunder Bagua!!"
The terrifying Conqueror's Haki entwined on the mace, black lightning crackling. When Kaido makes a move, it is the current standard reached by the top of the sea, a powerful attack to measure the top contenders!
If Shanks can catch it, he will gain respect; if he can't, then he will die!
In an instant, Shanks rushed towards Kaido, his sword Gryphon appearing in his left hand. With a serious face, he directly met Kaido's Thunder Bagua, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki!
Boom!
The sword Gryphon, crackling with black lightning, collided with the Hassaikai in Kaido's hand in the air, unleashing a terrifying impact. The Conqueror's Haki from both clashed, sweeping across the sea instantly!
Bang—
The sea surface was hit by a huge wave, pushing away the ships of the Beasts Pirates and the Red Force of the Red Hair Pirates. The clouds above were also scattered by the force of their clash.
"Twice as strong!"
Feeling the power of Shanks, Kaido's face showed surprise, then he grinned and praised him. At the same time, the strength in his hand increased, and his momentum became extremely violent. After his final battle with Kozuki Oden, Kaido had become much stronger over the years.
"Aha!!!"
Feeling the violent power from Kaido's mace, Shanks' face was tense, veins bulging, and his expression became fierce as he exerted all his strength. The two were locked in the air, neither willing to yield.
Ten seconds later.
Bang—
The violent force of the collision between Gryphon and the Hassaikai exploded, ending the stalemate. Both figures retreated to their own ships. Kaido stepped back and stood firmly, while Shanks took three and a half steps back, steadying himself on the deck of the Red Force.
The performance of the two made it clear to both sides who held the upper hand. Shanks, despite being in his twenties, was slightly inferior to Kaido in strength but far from powerless. He could hold his ground for a considerable time.
"Boss!"
Beckman and others stepped forward, standing beside Shanks with serious faces.
Raising his hand to stop them, Shanks stepped forward again, facing Kaido, and sheathed Gryphon.
He said loudly, "Your opponent is not me! I came here to give you a choice, not to fight you! Think carefully about my proposal!"
After speaking, Shanks gave Beckman and the others a look, and the members of the Red Hair Pirates quickly moved into action. Soon, the Red Force turned around and slowly disappeared.
Having finished speaking and clashing with Kaido, Shanks believed his move was enough for Kaido to think carefully, and there was no need to stay longer.
Watching the Red Hair Pirates leave, Kaido didn't stop them. Instead, his eyes became pensive:
"I didn't expect that the kid from Roger's ship who ran away back then has grown to this extent. There truly are monsters on that ship."
After the Rocks Pirates fell apart, Kaido never fought the Roger Pirates, so he didn't know the horror of the Roger Pirates.
What Kaido didn't expect was that Shanks, who was just a kid back then, had grown so powerful.
Considering that Rob, "the world's greatest swordsman," is just a teenager, even younger and smaller than Shanks, Kaido started to doubt if he was keeping up with the times.
Are the youth of today all that fierce?
"Mr. Kaido!"
The very young King took a step forward and looked at the pondering Kaido.
"Are we going to attack again?"
Kaido picked up his mace and laughed loudly:
"Wororororo! Besides me, no one can stop that red-haired guy! Our hegemony has just begun, and if something happens now and deepens our hatred with that brat, it's not a good thing!"
"Jack's revenge will have to wait! Poor little guy, only twelve years old, and that guy named Rob hit him so hard! He's a shameless guy!"
Despite his reckless appearance, Kaido is actually shrewd.
The Beasts Pirates' Kaido still has brains!
Becoming the overlord of the sea is definitely not as simple as relying on sheer strength alone!
If the Red Hair Pirates weren't around, he wouldn't mind stepping on "the world's greatest swordsman" to enhance his reputation. But with the Red Hair Pirates' presence, especially with Shanks being so strong, he wouldn't act rashly.
As for Shanks' promise not to attack him and to help guard Wanokuni's territory?
Kaido could only say that whether others believed it or not, he didn't believe it. If he had such an opportunity, he would definitely attack Wanokuni without hesitation, occupy it, and make it his own domain!
Kaido felt that Shanks was trying to bully him, an honest man!
Of course, he wouldn't be fooled!
In the brutal world of pirates, such promises, in Kaido's opinion, were not worthy of trust!
Thus, under Kaido's decision, this incident came to an end temporarily at the cost of only Jack being injured.

Time turned and two months passed.
This day--
On the shore of a large, uninhabited island in the New World, where wild beasts roam.
Under a sun umbrella on the beach, Robin and Uta, in swimsuits and holding drinks, relaxed on beach chairs, enjoying their mid-season island vacation!
This island was chosen by Rob as the battlefield between him and Kaido, and now many in the New World know he is on this island.
Yet--
No one came to disturb the leisure and vacation life of the three siblings!
Soon.
An hour passed.
Crash.
The sea was turbulent for a while, and then Rob emerged, holding Shinto in one hand and a Sea King he had killed in the other. Wearing a pair of swimming trunks, he got out of the sea!
Throwing the Sea King on the beach casually, Rob shook his wet black hair.
Then he exhaled a long breath:
"Call…"
He casually handed Shinto to Robin, who came over, took the towel from her, and wiped his hair.
Rob casually said:
"Today's lunch is this Sea King!"
Hearing the words, Robin nodded with a smile:
"Okay, Oni-chan! I'll go prepare the kitchen utensils, it will be ready soon!"
While talking, Robin, with a happy smile on her face, carried the lunch and walked to a small courtyard villa with a nice style on the shore, to prepare the kitchen utensils and seasonings for the Sea King.
As a master shipbuilder with very high-level skills, Rob's craftsmanship is not limited to ships. Ordinary small villas, like this one, he can build in a day!
So under normal circumstances, when he stays on an uninhabited island for a long time, he will not settle for less but build a small villa for the siblings to have long-term housing.
Waiting for Kaido on this island for two months, Rob naturally built a residence!
An hour later.
While Robin and Uta helped each other, and despite some minor troubles, a sumptuous Sea King feast on the beach was prepared.
No worries about eating too much, as Rob's stomach is a bottomless pit. With the long-term use of potential potions, body training potions, and the food Robin and Uta have been trained with, their appetites are also quite substantial!
If they don't eat for a long time, their physiques can handle it without a problem.
Similarly, if they tackle one, or even several Sea Kings at a time, they won't be overwhelmed!
Under Rob's guidance, Robin and Uta, though appearing to develop normally, have physiques gradually moving towards the level of little monsters.
"Kaido probably doesn't plan to come for revenge in the near future."
After eating and drinking, Rob said leisurely:
"In two days, we will continue our trip! We've been in the New World for quite a while! Next, I plan to go back to West Blue to take a look, and then visit North Blue, South Blue, and other sea areas!"
"There are many interesting places in this world, and the New World is just one of them! Besides the existence of the One Piece, many people who go to sea subconsciously choose to come here!"
There was a pause.
Rob looked at Robin and Uta:
"West Blue, North Blue, South Blue must have more historical Poneglyphs! Although Gol D. Roger's message on Sky Island said that the truth of history was sent to Raftel, finding all the historical texts ourselves would be quite an achievement, wouldn't it?"
"And Uta wants to become the number one singer in the world. How could she not explore what the world looks like? Only by seeing more can she feel more, understand more, and sing music that truly touches the heart!"
Standing up, Rob stretched his arms, a smile on his face:
"And the most important thing is that I'm tired of staying here in the New World! I want to explore other seas, see more magical islands, and experience different cultures. What do you guys think?"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin nodded directly in agreement:
"I can!"
Uta held up the bone in her hand, smiling:
"I have no opinion either! Wherever Ni-chan and Onee-chan go, Uta will follow! As long as I can be with Ni-chan and Onee-chan and sing, I'm happy!"
Snap.
Rob snapped his fingers and said casually:
"Then it's decided! Prepare tomorrow, set sail the day after tomorrow. First, we'll go to the nearby islands with towns, replenish all the supplies needed for sailing, then catch a sea beast and cross the Calm Belt to return to Ohara in West Blue!"
When Rob mentioned going back to Ohara, Robin was stunned for a moment, a hint of nostalgia appearing on her face. She nodded seriously:
"Hmm... Oni-chan is right, it's indeed time to go back to Ohara and take a look!"
Ohara—
This is Robin's hometown, the place where Rob rose up, and where the two met. Whether for Robin or Rob, it is a special island, though in different ways.
Since they plan to return to West Blue, a visit to Ohara is a must.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing Robin's little head, Rob showed a gentle smile toward her. Robin looked up, met Rob's eyes, and also smiled sweetly.
Everything--
Said without words!
After confirming the sailing plan, it was time to execute it!
Day three—
Rob, Robin, and Uta were ready to leave this large uninhabited beast island.
On the deck of the Angel.
Robin and Uta, ready to set sail, watched curiously as Rob squatted down and placed his hands on the deck of the Angel.
"Can it be successful?"
Rob's heart was full of anticipation:
"Use the fifth talent - Extreme Sublimation on the Angel!"
Last night, Rob's fifth talent, which had been cooling down for a year - the Extreme sublimation, was restored and ready to be used again.
After thinking about it, Rob chose to test the it on the Platinum Angel, to see if he could enhance the entire ship with his talents, or if only the deck under his hands would be affected.
Quickly, a ray of light lit up in Rob's hand, and this light, at an extremely fast speed, enveloped the entire Angel, finally sinking into the ship as a whole!
Unlike the original Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Angel did not undergo any external changes.
This puzzled Rob:
"Is this a success? Or a failure? No... The fifth talent - the Extreme sublimation has already played a role. The light just now and the state of cooling down again are proof enough!"
"It's just that the Angel hasn't changed. I don't know if it was successful or not!"
While talking, Rob directly released his Observation Haki, enveloping the entire Angel to feel its changes in detail. Soon, he sensed a difference!
An intermittent consciousness was telling him something. Subconsciously, Rob turned his Observation Haki to the maximum to listen carefully.
After a while, Rob opened his eyes again with a satisfied smile:
"It worked!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin and Uta, who were curious, looked at him with eager eyes:
"Oni-chan, has anything changed on the Angel?"
Nodding, Rob said:
"There's a big change! The current Angel can automatically dock and sail, and if the hull is damaged, it can restore itself over time to its best condition!"
"Additionally, it can understand our orders, keep watch at night, autonomously avoid dangerous ocean conditions, and alert us if it detects an enemy ship. It can even use its own weapons!"
In simple terms—
The Angel had transformed from an ordinary ship into one with its own consciousness and many special functions. It was now the best ship on the sea, unrivaled in its capabilities!
Besides--
The cola cannon on the Angel, which has been a mere display since the day it was built, can now finally be used, launched by the ship itself.
This ship, according to the novels Rob read before crossing over, feels somewhat like a spiritual weapon.
After hearing Rob's introduction, both Robin and Uta looked stunned and surprised.
Robin quickly came back to her senses, looking emotional:
"A ship like this is simply the best home on the sea! If word spreads, I'm afraid many people will want to snatch our Angel!"
Shaking his head, Rob wore a confident smile:
"That's impossible! This ship—no one but us will be able to move it unless I want them to!"
It's all so special.
Having an "automatic anti-theft" function is normal!
Once Robin and Uta relaxed, Rob said directly:
"Angel—let's set sail! Follow the direction pointed by the Log Pose and head to the next island with a human town!"
When Rob's voice fell.
Crash.
The anchor that originally fixed the ship automatically retracted from the shore, and the power of the outer wheel of the Angel was activated.
After moving away from the island, the outer wheel power device engaged, and the sails were lowered.
Following the wind, it sailed towards the next island!
During the entire voyage, the three siblings did not need to do any operations; it was all handled by the Angel itself!
"Awesome! (The Angel is so strong)!"
After seeing the magic of the Angel with their own eyes, both Robin and Uta subconsciously exclaimed.
A self-sailing ship—
They had never even heard of such a thing, but now they truly owned one!
