Throw me some powerstones
-------
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.
