"So—"
Looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, after getting everyone's answers.
Rob's eyes were calm:
"I'm right here, waiting for your good news!"
While speaking.
Rob hung up the call with these underground giants, stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at the three people playing in the swimming pool leisurely, with a satisfied smile on his face!
Such a life—
It's really enjoyable, and it's really wonderful!
Rob didn't worry about trading with himself at all, those underground giants would do something against him, first because they didn't have the guts, and because Rob didn't care about these things being exposed.
His real confidence has never been kept secret by other people, but comes from his own strength, he can play however he wants, and when he doesn't want to play, he can stop playing!
If anyone thinks that these things can be used to blackmail Rob, then it is really a big mistake.
At the same time.
Those underground tycoons who were hung up by Rob held a Den Den Mushi meeting again.
As the person who initiated the contact between Rob and their underground world, Stussy and Morgans are enduring the unpleasant complaints and grumbles from these underground world giants.
At the beginning—
After being recruited by Morgans and Stussy, they thought that the cooperation this time was still led by them, and they could make a lot of berries from the hands of "the strongest man in the world" Rob!
But what they didn't expect at all was that just after the conference call started, Rob directly and forcefully took all the dominance.
He was completely using these underground giants as tools.
Being treated like this, it is completely impossible for these underground giants who are used to being superior and have no resentment in their hearts!
Soon.
After the complaints of these underground giants stopped temporarily.
Stussy said directly and elegantly:
"Are you done complaining? Then I'll ask you two questions—"
"First, when exactly did you have the illusion that a strong man who dared to threaten the World Government and Marines, killed Celestial Dragons live broadcasted all over the world, and had nothing to do, would play according to your game rules?"
"Have you forgotten? All the rules of the game in this world are formulated by the strong! The current 'world's strongest' is Rob, and the future cooperation with him naturally needs to follow his rules."
"If you're not convinced, you can fight! As long as you can defeat Rob, not only will the rules of this transaction be set by you, but even the World Government will compromise with you!"
"But do you have the strength?"
The tone of this sentence was not polite, and after the words full of sarcasm fell, Stussy directly silenced all the underground giants except Morgans.
Indeed
Strength is the basis for maintaining rules. Rob is strong enough, and he always acts according to his own rules. If you want to do business with him, you must follow his rules.
Of course.
They can also choose not to do it, but Rob did not give them the right to refuse. When the call is connected, they have no right to refuse.
And—
With their strength, they can't even refuse Rob!
More importantly
The price offered by Rob made these underground giants act, and they wanted more!
Seeing these people fall silent.
Stussy continues to speak:
"Second question - cooperation with Rob, as long as your hands and feet are clean and nimble, you can definitely earn a lot of berries! Otherwise, I and Morgans wouldn't serve him."
"And if you don't want to do business with Mr. Rob, there are plenty of people in the sea who are willing to cooperate with him. If he wants to support a spokesperson for the underground world, it won't be too difficult!"
"At that time, it will be hard to say whether there will be a place for any of you in the underground world!"
These words—
Made the already silent underground giants even more silent.
In fact, they all understand these things. After all, they are not fools. Naturally, with Rob's strength, it is definitely not too difficult to find a spokesperson for the underground world!
The current interests of the underground world have been almost divided.
When someone rises, someone will naturally decline.
None of these underground tycoons are willing to let themselves withdraw from the world stage!
"It seems that everyone has already understood it very well!"
The corners of Stussy's mouth curled up.
Then she opened her mouth and said:
"Then I'll hang up first! I believe that for a long time to come, the 'World's Strongest' - Rob - is the one who sets the rules! Everyone - please keep this in mind!"
While speaking, Stussy hung up her Den Den Mushi.
Immediately afterwards, Morgans also smiled and said:
"I agree with Stussy's words! Everyone—the times have changed! If you can't adapt to the changes in this world era, then what awaits you will be a deadly fate! Hahaha..."
Laughing, Morgans also hung up the call.
Shortly thereafter—
This time, the small meeting of the giants of the underground world ended hastily.
It's just that this small Den Den Mushi meeting also changed some of the rules of the game in the underground world to a certain extent!
As Stussy said—
For a long time to come, Rob will be the rule maker!
Soon.
A month passed.
Rob received contact from several underground giants one after another, indicating that everything he needs is ready!
And they also provided a trading place where several of them are united together.
This day—
The base island named "Paradise Island" by Rob.
On the place where the huge Angel is docked, a hundred people wearing black suits, the man-made weapons - Terminator T1 models, are constantly moving towards the Angel, carrying daily necessities!
At the same time, there are two cyborgs, Seraphim, who look like mature women and wear different styles of special combat uniforms. They are standing beside Robin, who is ready to go, waiting for her orders like bodyguards.
Worth mentioning—
Whether it is man-made weapons or cultivated Seraphim, they are all genderless. Man-made weapons tend to appear masculine, while Seraphim tend to appear more mature and feminine!
Needless to say, the hundred man-made weapons are decent in terms of combat effectiveness, but they are not considered powerful. Overall, they are just like miscellaneous soldiers, after all, they are mass-produced models.
As for each unique Seraphim, they not only have their own names, but Rob also equipped them with various Devil Fruit abilities, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely terrifying.
After all, Rob has accumulated a lot of fruit abilities on Seraphim—Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit, Quake-Quake Fruit, Float-Float Fruit, etc. Anyway, he has accumulated all the useful ones.
As for things like combat experience, it can only be set by data implantation.
No matter how much Seraphim looks like human beings, they are still only man-made weapons in the final analysis; they do not have the possibility of human beings to learn experience and grow automatically!
Unless it's like Transformers, letting them have a soul and a real heart!
All in all—
Each one is unique. Seraphim is very powerful, but how powerful it is, you need to go through actual combat before you can get accurate data.
Quickly.
After all the supplies are loaded, Robin is ready to go, and Uta is also ready to go.
Smiling towards Rob with a worried face:
"..Then—Oni-chan, Makino, Uta and I are leaving!"
This time—
Robin and Uta acted together to receive the materials prepared by the underground giants, while Rob and Makino stayed at Paradise Island and did not plan to act together!
Frowning.
Rob nodded:
"Okay! This is the first time you have acted alone... Be sure to pay attention to safety! If you encounter danger, the best choice is to ensure your own safety! Don't worry about loss!"
Honestly—
This is the first time for Robin and Uta to leave Rob's side to perform a certain task!
It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not worried.
But Rob also knows very well—
Robin and Uta have grown up, and the occasional self-acting is also good for them.
Hearing what Rob said.
The smiling Robin nodded:
"Yes! Then Oni-chan, Makino—we're off!"
Beside Uta, popped up.
Opened her mouth and said:
"Ni-chan, Makino nee-chan, we will come back!"
Both Rob and Makino nodded.
Looking at Robin and Uta:
"Be careful all the way! Pay attention to protecting yourself!"
Quickly.
After Robin and Uta boarded the Angel, the huge Angel took off directly and headed towards the sea!
Looking at the Angel going away, Rob frowned, his face still full of worry.
Snap—
Makino put her arm around Rob and offered a soft treat.
Makino had a smile on her face:
"Don't worry so much—Robin is very strong, Uta is also very powerful, and there are T1-type terminators, as well as two Seraphim for protection. Even if an Admiral or a Yonko makes a move, they won't be able to keep them!"
"And they just went to get things, and they will come back when they get them!"
Hearing Makino's words.
The worry on Rob's face faded away.
He smiled and said:
"That's true! Robin and Uta are no longer the little girls they used to be, and I don't need to keep an eye on them all the time! Hahaha..."

With the powerful firepower of the Angel, hundreds of T1 Terminators, two unique Seraphim, and Robin herself, they were a formidable force!
In addition, Uta was not weak anymore.
So--
Half a month after Robin and Uta left, they returned to Paradise Island with the supplies of six large sailboats.
Inside the villa.
Rob personally cooked a big meal, and the four of them held a small banquet every day!
"Did the voyage go well this time?"
At the dining table, Rob turned his eyes to Robin and asked:
"Did you encounter any danger?"
Robin smiled and said:
"There was no danger. When I went, everything went smoothly! But on the way back, we were attacked by several pirate groups and a Marine fleet led by a Marine Vice Admiral!"
"But they were all handled by the Seraphim! I didn't even have to intervene, and the attacking pirate group and Marine fleet were completely wiped out!"
Hearing that a group of pirates attacked the Angel, Rob looked surprised:
"Pirates? In the current New World, there are still pirates who dare to attack us? Are they from the Beasts Pirates?"
Robin shook her head calmly:
"No! They seemed to be from Beehive Island, not under the command of the Four Emperors!"
Rob's eyes narrowed in surprise:
"Beehive Island... Wasn't that the base camp of the Rocks Pirates before? And it's the Pirate Paradise of the New World! If I remember correctly, Beehive Island is now ruled by the Ochoku Pirates?"
"I'll take note of this matter! After we build Paradise Island, we will train more Seraphim and T1-type Terminator Legions. Before dealing with the Four Emperors, we'll take care of Beehive Island first!"
"We'll test the strength of my artificial weapons on the remnants of the Rocks Pirates!"
Hearing what Rob said, Robin, Uta, and Makino nodded seriously in agreement.
While eating, Rob smiled and said:
"Now that all the necessary supplies to build the base have been delivered, starting tomorrow, I will use all the artificial humans I have created to start transforming Paradise Island!"
"I'll leave the task of making the artificial Devil Fruit from the Whitebeard Pirates and the business contacts for the artificial Devil Fruit to you."
Both Robin and Makino nodded and responded:
"Leave it to us, Oni-chan (Rob-kun)!"
As for Uta—
This little girl doesn't have any job. The most important thing for her now is to develop her Sing-Sing Fruit to an awakened state. Apart from that, there is no other task for her.
After discussing the transformation of Paradise Island and the artificial Devil Fruit, the banquet officially began.
When everyone started to get busy, time passed quickly.
A month.
Two months.
Five months.
Seven months.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year passed.
In nearly a year, the fifth talent, the ultimate sublimation, was restored again. Rob gave the artificial Float-Float Fruit that he made at the beginning, after the extreme sublimation, to Makino who wanted to eat it!
So far—
In addition to Rob, Makino became the second user with the abilities of three Devil Fruits in the sea.
Not to mention the level of strength, but at least the ability to fly and the ability to easily float an island were enough to make Makino's mobility and strategy reach a peak!
Although he wanted to use it on his sword.
But after he got busy, his sword, which had been transformed to a black blade, was stored in his wrist's fruit space and hadn't been taken out for almost a year.
Then there is the change of Paradise Island—
A new research institute with equipment and facilities was built, and Rob started producing the T1 model Terminator Legion, T2 model Builders Legion, T3 model... and so on, special artificial humans for various purposes.
Besides—
It can be called a T0 model, but Rob prefers to call it Seraphim, and the training of artificial humans has also begun.
Only—
The initial design goal of Seraphim androids is to target the combat effectiveness of the Admiral level, and each one is unique and special, so the investment is quite large!
With Rob's financial resources and the resources he obtained within a year, except for the two Seraphim that were successfully produced at the beginning—Aquarius and Pisces—Rob now cultivated ten more Seraphim.
He used the twelve constellations to name the twelve Seraphim cultivated!
At the same time, the location of Paradise Island is not just as simple as this island.
Makino, who ate the Float-Float Fruit, moved twelve uninhabited islands and placed these twelve islands around Paradise Island, guarding the original and most central Paradise Island.
The twelve Seraphim were arranged on the twelve islands that were moved here. Rob also equipped each Seraphim with various types of artificial weapons and tools.
He directly raised the defensive power of the base to a very high level.
Every Seraphim—
Even now, due to various reasons, they still do not have the combat effectiveness of the Admiral level, but there is no doubt that all of them are at a "monster" level of combat effectiveness.
Twelve "monster" level fighters, plus a large number of T-series artificial weapons and tool men with certain combat abilities, make defending his Paradise Island no problem!
Now this sea—
It should not be called the Paradise Island Sea, but the Paradise Archipelago, or simply the Paradise Sea Area!
…
Sea Circle Calendar—
1517, July Fourteenth.
In the central castle of Paradise Island, above the tallest spire, there is a flag proposed by Robin, supported by Uta and Makino, and produced. The pattern is a twelve-winged angel, a pure white and flawless flag.
A flag dedicated to Rob—
Angel Wings!
Standing at the heights of the castle, Rob overlooks Paradise Island, which has various areas such as research institutes, living areas, entertainment zones, etc., while still retaining most of the original ecological environment. He is still dressed in his beach style.
Touching his chin, looking at the huge Angel Island and the twelve constellation islands connected by pontoon bridges, Rob falls silent:
"The original idea was to sail freely in the sea, to pursue strength by the way, and to unravel the historical truth of the 'Void Century', and now it is what it is."
"At first, I just wanted a small stronghold and base! How did I accidentally build my 'small' base to the huge scale it is today?"
Given the scale of combat power he has now, even if he says he has no ambitions, no one will believe it, right?
Not to mention—
Over the past year, Rob's influence in the underground world has skyrocketed!
During the time when he was concentrating on building the Paradise Island base and leaving all other things to Robin, Uta, and Makino to handle, the three of them can be said to have let themselves go.
First up is Makino—
She moved the Twelve Constellation Islands and only told Rob after they were moved. At that time, Rob didn't care about it, so he let her continue, and the Twelve Constellation Islands became a defensive fortress.
Recently, Rob occasionally heard from Makino that she seems to have the idea of moving more islands around the Paradise Islands to form a country similar to Totto Land!
After all, there are only four of them on the current Paradise Islands who can be considered real human beings, and the twelve Seraphim can be regarded as half-human, so their population is really weak, to be honest.
So Makino intends to really create a brand new country!
Next is Robin.
She handles a lot of work in the underground world with ease and seems to be particularly talented in this aspect, not only trading with the underground giants but also forming a new group of Rob's own power!
In just one year, relying on their own strong strength, outstanding ability, and Rob's absolute delegation of power to her, Robin has become the representative figure of the four of them in the underground world.
Alias—
Queen of Darkness!
And finally, Uta.
This little girl, while working hard to develop the Sing-Sing Fruit, is still singing to the world through the Den Den Mushi, and using her fame, she is constantly promoting the Paradise Islands!
The reputation of the Paradise Islands has spread far and wide, and many people who are dissatisfied with their lives look forward to living on the Paradise Islands and becoming its residents.
At this very moment—
After Rob finally completed all his plans for the construction of the base, he took a good look at the situation over the past year and was shocked.
Robin, Uta, and Makino, especially the two older ones, had given Rob a serious surprise, or rather, frightened him.
"As it stands now—"
Observation Haki surveyed the entire Paradise Islands.
The corner of Rob's mouth twitched:
"If we don't take advantage of this trend to build a country, wouldn't it be too much to ignore the efforts of the three of them?"
Snap—
While speaking, Rob covered his face with one hand.
Thought—
It turns out that my protection of them still limits their talents!
