Capítulo 97: 97. Lucky Rob! Unlucky Buggy!
Time is like an hourglass in your hand; it will pass by quietly without you noticing.
A blink of an eye.
Three months passed.
On this day--
On the sea of East Blue, in front of the Angel, a circus-like pirate ship was parked. On the deck of this pirate ship, Rob opened his flowered shirt, with a magic tea sword pinned to his waist.
Seeing all the pirates kneeling in front of him, begging for mercy with bruised noses and swollen faces, Rob's gaze finally fell on their captain.
He looked a little weird:
"The clown - Buggy... I never thought I would meet you here! What a coincidence!"
Hearing Rob's words, Buggy, who was beaten by Rob until he was unrecognizable, had a bruised nose, missing teeth, and a face more pitiful than crying.
With a smile:
"Ahahaha... respected 'World's Greatest Swordsman' - Master Rob, this is really a misunderstanding! We were just experimenting with cannons and had no intention of disturbing you!"
"I'm truly sorry for disturbing Mr. Rob and your happy trip with your sisters! I'm really sorry, please forgive us!"
Swish—
Speaking hurriedly, Buggy lay down on the ground without dignity and gave Rob a standard soil seat, begging for forgiveness, not daring to make any wrong moves.
Although he has the Chop-Chop Fruit, theoretically making him immune to a swordsman's slash, it also depends on who the swordsman is! The one in front of him—
Was "The World's Greatest Swordsman," the most powerful swordsman in the world. He came to Buggy's ship with his supreme sharp sword unsheathed, and with a few quick slashes, he had them all defeated. Just like that.
Soon!
Before Buggy even had a chance to react, he was already in his current state.
Looking at Buggy in front of him, Rob had a funny look on his face—
This guy can be considered a real pirate who only loves treasures. Although he was an intern at the same time as Shanks on the ship of the Pirate King - Roger, he can be called the luckiest slacker with no ambitions!
Still, in the future, he would have the same status as Shanks through sheer luck. Although he is just a puppet who has been used and discarded, at least in the eyes of outsiders, in terms of reputation and status, he is considered one of the Four Emperors.
"You guys have an interesting future!"
Looking at the begging Buggy, Rob, with a funny expression on his face, said:
"So, I don't intend to kill you here! But I believe you've heard of my rules - if you want to live, you can use all your treasures to buy the lives of you and your subordinates!"
Rob decided to spare Buggy. He was curious to see what kind of future this guy would have and how entertaining it might be.
After hearing Rob's words, Buggy's face lit up with surprise. He said loudly:
"Thank you very much! I really appreciate Master Rob's great kindness! I'll move out all the treasures and materials now. Please spare the lives of me and my subordinates!"
After thanking Rob loudly, Buggy immediately signaled to his crew. Understanding the situation, the Buggy Pirates quickly ran into the cabin and moved out all their treasures and supplies. The sheer amount of treasures and supplies was impressive, fitting for Buggy's treasure-loving crew.
"Hmm?!"
While looking at the treasure brought up by Buggy's subordinates, Rob's gaze instantly focused on a rather inconspicuous old box within the pile of treasure. With a frown:
"This little box... the smell inside is very unique!"
While speaking, Rob picked up the small treasure chest. He opened it casually, and just like when he got the Sing-Sing Fruit and the Op-Op Fruit, an orange-red Devil Fruit that looked like a dragon fruit with spiral lines and a flame-shaped peel appeared in Rob's hand.
"A Devil Fruit?!"
Seeing the Devil Fruit, Buggy's eyes suddenly revealed a greedy gaze, and he exclaimed with a longing expression on his face.
Swish—
But before Buggy could make any other moves, Rob narrowed his eyes a little and looked directly at him. Casually, he said:
"What's with that look of yours? What's with that look on your face? What do you think you're going to do with my treasure?"
In an instant, Buggy, filled with infinite greed moments before, suddenly became extremely calm. His whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, sweating profusely. Then he kept laughing and said:
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Of course, these treasures and supplies are yours - the Devil Fruit is also yours!"
Hearing this, Rob backhanded the Devil Fruit, which he already knew the ability of, and put it back into the small treasure chest. He then patted Buggy on the shoulder, looking satisfied:
"Very good! Now, I need you to move all my treasures to my boat! Since your body can be separated and you can fly freely in the air, please get to it!"
Hearing Rob's request, Buggy felt devastated in his heart but forced a smile through his tears:
"No trouble, no trouble! It's my honor to do things for Lord Rob! Ahaha... Ahahaha..."
Quickly, under Rob's threat, Buggy split his body and sent all his treasures and supplies, including the priceless Devil Fruit, to Rob's ship. He then led his crew in a show of laughter and cheer as they watched the Angel leave, disappearing on the sea. Once the ship was out of sight, Buggy stood on the bow and burst into tears. The sadness in his heart was beyond words.
Just half an hour ago, he had robbed a merchant ship. Before he had time to check his loot, Rob had taken everything, including the Devil Fruit he had intended to hide.
To know—even the cheapest Devil Fruit starts at 100 million berries!
At this moment, all his harvest, including his original treasures and supplies, were taken away by Rob. Buggy's sadness knew no bounds.
Now, on the deck of the Angel, Rob and his companions didn't care much about the treasures and supplies piled up. Even Makino, after spending time with them, had gotten used to encountering pirates who had just harvested a lot or needed to replenish their supplies, coming to "donate" to them.
The accumulated treasures in the Angel's treasure vault had long made Makino lose the concept of value she should have about treasures.
"Here we go!"
Rob held the Devil Fruit in his hand, a smile on his face:
"Suitable for Makino's ability! Fortunately, I didn't use the ability to sublimate this year. Otherwise, Makino would have to wait for a year before she could eat this Devil Fruit!"
"My luck is invincible!"
A few days ago, the cooldown of Rob's fifth talent, Extreme Sublimation, ended. Originally, the plan was to sublimate the Op-Op Fruit for the third time, but Rob felt he would soon find a suitable Devil Fruit for Makino, so it hadn't been used yet. Now, it could be used on the Devil Fruit in hand.
"This fruit is—"
After Robin glanced at the shape of the Devil Fruit in Rob's hand, she thought about it for a moment and named its abilities:
"The Logia Flame-Flame Fruit! After eating it, you become a flame human who can create and control flames. The temperature of the flames is theoretically unlimited, so the potential is very high!"
"And Logia users can ignore all physical attacks without Haki, and the self-protection ability after consuming most of the energy supply can reach a very high level instantly!"
"Oni-chan's special ability, while removing the side effects of the fruit, can also further strengthen the upper limit of the fruit's power. If you eat this Flame-Flame Fruit, you'll definitely be much stronger than previous Flame-Flame Fruit users!"
Speaking of which, Robin looked at Makino with a smile on her face:
"Makino, congratulations! As long as your physical strength can keep up and you awaken Haki's power, you will be the strongest among us three!"
Among Robin, Uta, and Makino, excluding Rob, Makino would be the most powerful.
There was no way—
Rob's strength was simply too high.
Snap—
Uta hugged Makino's thigh directly and said with a smile:
"Sister Makino, you have to protect Uta from now on! Uta will sing for you! Hee hee hee..."
Hearing this, Makino, who had fully integrated with the group, had a gentle smile on her face as always. She smiled and said:
"I will!"
Robin then held Uta's little head with one hand, grinning:
"Ah! Uta, does this mean you doubt my strength? Is that really okay, Uta?"
Knowing her sister's personality well, Uta quickly coaxed Robin, and they played around on the deck for a while.
Finally, all eyes turned to the Devil Fruit in Rob's hand. Using his fifth talent, Extreme Sublimation, under the effect of the white light, the orange-red Flame-Flame Fruit turned into an orange-yellow Devil Fruit with a little white!
Now—
The Logia Flame-Flame Fruit had its side effects removed and its ability strengthened successfully!
After all this was done, Rob handed it to Makino:
"Here you go, eat it! We're about to enter the Grand Line! Next up is the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Doflamingo! He's got a lot of strong subordinates!"
"With the Flame-Flame Fruit's ability, your self-protection can be guaranteed! Although the power of flame seems common in the sea, it's precisely because it's common that its potential can be fully realized!"
The power of the flame is not weak! This is especially true for the strengthened Flame-Flame Fruit, making it no longer a lower-level fruit compared to the Lava-Lava Fruit.
As long as it is well developed, Makino will definitely be the most powerful among the three of them, at least for the time being!

Capítulo 98: 98. Rob: I'm Invincible, There's Nothing To Be Afraid Of Anymore!
With a serious and dignified face, Makino took the Flame-Flame Fruit from Rob, hesitated for a while, and ate the first piece of fruit directly.
It melts in your mouth.
The sweet and crispy taste immediately brightened Makino's eyes, who was already prepared to eat something unpalatable to human taste.
She subconsciously exclaimed:
"Ah! It's sweet, crispy, and melts in your mouth - I've never tasted such delicious fruit!"
During this time, apart from using Rob's improved Adult Version Potential Potion and Adult Version Body Training Potion for training, Makino spent more time in the factory learning about things on the sea!
For example, the classification of Devil Fruit, the difference between ordinary Devil Fruits and those enhanced by Rob, and the extremely important Haki power in future battles, etc.!
Devil Fruit usually tastes awful, and Makino knew it!
But it never occurred to her that——
The enhanced Flame-Flame Fruit is so delicious, and the taste is completely opposite to what Robin and Uta described!
"Tasty?"
Hearing Makino's reaction, Robin and Uta were stunned for a moment. Then they recalled that when Rob ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he also said it was delicious, but at that time, neither of them believed him.
Holding hands, there was a little helplessness on Rob's face:
"I've said it before, the Devil Fruits after I removed the side effects and enhanced them are quite delicious. You didn't believe me!"
Hearing Rob's complaints, both Robin and Uta came back to their senses and acted cute to cover up their embarrassment.
Rob casually said:
"Uta, go to the treasury and bring me the Op-Op Fruit! I'm about to enter the Grand Line! To prevent the Op-Op Fruit from being lost accidentally, I'll eat it here, and I'll let you have a taste of this quite delicious fruit!"
With a nod, Uta obediently responded:
"Yes!"
Quickly, Uta took the Op-Op Fruit that Xiaobai, the ship spirit, retrieved from an unknown corner of the treasure house, and brought it over. Rob took the first bite and gained the Op-Op Fruit's ability, then gave the remaining pulp to Robin and Uta to taste.
Although it sounds shabby, Robin and Uta don't mind this!
"How about it?" Robin asked after Rob ate the Op-Op Fruit. Uta and Makino, who hadn't tested his strength, looked at Rob curiously.
With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Op-Op Fruit he ate just now, Rob is now an unprecedented dual-fruit ability user!
At least, Robin and Uta, who have almost traveled around the world, don't know of anyone with double fruit abilities. Even in the books, there's no record of such information!
It doesn't matter whether there have been dual-fruit ability users in history. Based on what they know, it's not wrong to say Rob is unprecedented.
"Very good~!" Rob said with a smile after realizing the Op-Op Fruit's ability. "It's useless to just say it - let me show you. This ability is great!"
As he spoke, Rob raised his left hand. A transparent white mask appeared, then expanded to cover the entire Angel in an instant.
"Now everything in this space, including people, creatures, souls, and spiritual personalities, is under my control!"
Rob moved his fingers, and the Shinto that was originally in his room appeared in his hand instantly.
"Without an extremely high level of Haki, no one can be immune to my fruit ability attack in this space! On the current sea, those who can do this can be counted on one hand!"
With a movement of his hand, Shinto returned to the holder in his room. Then Rob withdrew his Op-Op Fruit ability with a satisfied smile:
"The Op-Op Fruit that has been enhanced twice is much stronger than I imagined! And with my medical technology, the ability of the Op-Op Fruit will soon be developed to an extremely strong degree!"
"The awakening of the fruit will probably take three or four years, no more than five. By then, I can perform the 'Perennial Youth Operation' for you."
"It doesn't matter if the cost of the 'Perennial Youth Operation' is still high. Once I reach the level of awakening, I can use my ability again to strengthen the Op-Op Fruit and Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
"Sooner or later, the side effects will be reduced to the point where there are none!"
Rob, who just ate the Op-Op Fruit, relies on his own terrifying strength, which is at the apex of the sea, combined with the world's top medical technology and the fruit ability that has been enhanced twice.
Rob now—
He has directly mastered all the moves developed by Trafalgar Law, except for the awakening skills of the original ability users, and they are all powerful versions!
For example, the point of replacing things—
He doesn't need to use stones or other objects. The replacement medium he uses is directly the air. When he develops to the level of awakening, even the air itself may be replaced without any intermediary!
With the Op-Op Fruit's ability to replace items in space, Rob feels much more convenient. In the future, it will be extremely easy for him to pick up things or perform other tasks.
At the same time, Rob feels that those who have the ability to be immune to his fruit powers are probably only those at the "ceiling" level of strength!
Currently, Garp should be able to resist it, and Whitebeard, with high probability, as well. However, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin might not be able to. As for Shanks, who hasn't reached his peak, it's the same.
After hearing what Rob said, Robin, Uta, and Makino, who already understood the greatest value of the Op-Op Fruit, all had expressions of anticipation on their faces, looking forward to the future!
After half a day, Makino experienced the feeling of being an ability user. Rob gave her many suggestions for developing her abilities, but it will take more time to realize those suggestions. Makino isn't there yet!
On the deck:
"Everyone," Rob stands in front of Robin, Uta, and Makino. With a big hand wave, he announces, "All preparations have been completed! Next, let's return to the Grand Line! To solve the troubles left over from the past years! Afterward, I will start chasing my dream, or the goal. Everyone, please be aware!"
Hearing Rob's manifesto, Robin, Uta, and Makino all had knowing smiles on their faces and replied in unison:
"Yes!"
With the decision to return to the Grand Line, the Angel was ordered to change course. Under Rob's command, as captain and navigator, they turned the bow and sailed directly towards Reverse Mountain!
The Angel pushed through the waves. This trip to the Grand Line was no longer just a journey but a mission to carry its master Rob—
To become the strongest!
To ascend to the highest throne!
Soon, a week passed. After replenishing all the supplies in Logue Town, the Angel passed through Reverse Mountain again and directly entered the starting point of the Grand Line.
At Twin Cape, after spending half a day with Crocus at home, Rob chose the route that the Donquixote Family had developed and set off again, heading towards the Grand Line!
A month later...
After passing through several magnetic islands, Rob destroyed several hidden strongholds of the Donquixote family one after another. He massacred and bloodbathed all the forces on this route that had cooperation with Doflamingo.
Rob used blood and fire to send a clear message to Doflamingo—
He's already on the Grand Line.
At the same time, he made it clear to everyone, whether they provoked him or not, that all the forces in the Grand Line should be aware that he has returned, and he did so in a very high-profile, strong manner!
Another half a month passed.
This day—
On the shore of an uninhabited island in the Grand Line, the Angel docked quietly. Rob and his crew were taking a short rest on the beach to relieve the fatigue from long-term sailing.
Under the umbrellas on the beach, Rob, wearing beach shorts, lay on a chair with a relaxed face. He comfortably admired Robin, Uta, and Makino, who wore different swimsuits and played on the beach.
"This kind of life———"
His eyes lingered on Robin and Makino for a while before he took them back. Rob's face was full of emotion:
"It's really comfortable! I just don't know how long this kind of life can last!"
He's been busy lately—
It has been a month and a half since he re-entered the Grand Line. He directly attacked many of Doflamingo's forces and overthrew some entrenched forces with complex networks behind them.
He even targeted some underground forces cultivated by the World Government!
This time, Rob showed a sense of aggression, giving everyone the impression that "he is no longer the restrained and humble person who hides a sword in his body and waits for the future."
Now—
The time has come, and it is time to show his sharpness.
With such a change, not only Doflamingo, the target of his revenge, but also the Marine and the World Government have likely been provoked by him and have started to keep a vigilant eye on him!
But so far—
What he has done has not yet warranted a response from the World Government and Marine. Even the underground forces he destroyed, which were supported by the World Government, have not resulted in a bounty on his head.
Rob wondered how much the World Government could tolerate!
But no matter what, Rob was no longer worried about being wanted or hunted down.
With his hands behind his head, the corners of Rob's mouth rose:
"I can touch the strongest fields now! World Government and Marine? There's nothing to worry about!"
