Chapter 167: 167. I, Rob, Have Always Treated People With Sincerity
Playing with Float-Float batons.
There was a slight smile on Rob's face—
A major advantage of ability weapons is that as long as the holder's own physical strength is completely sufficient, this stage of Devil Fruit ability development can be completely skipped, directly using the ability at full power!
Of course, compared to the ability user themselves, the physical strength required to use the ability weapon at full power is even greater!
But even with such shortcomings, it is enough to make everyone in the world go crazy for this ability weapon.
Moreover, this technique has been quite proficient in Rob's hands and can even be said to have been completely perfected.
Even Vegapunk has been left far behind by Rob in this aspect. His Devil Fruit ability transfer technology still has a high failure rate, while Rob's success rate here is 100%!
"Now that we have the Float-Float baton!"
Rob looked at Robin, Uta, and Makino beside him and said:
"It's almost time for us to go back to the New World! In the New World, we'll start building our base and implementing the plan we made before. We'll snatch the remaining poneglyphs from the hands of the Four Emperors."
Rob and the others haven't found the road poneglyphs yet. If there is no accident, all of them have been concentrated in the hands of the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, Zou, and the Burned Man whose true identity is unknown. (T/N: Is this correct?)
Once they make their move, the World Government will definitely see all their goals, and then a bigger storm will come.
So Rob intends to return to the New World now, where he will build his own mobile base for the four of them!
Upon hearing this, the three of them had no objections but also had some doubts.
Robin looks at Rob:
"Oni-chan— If you want to use an island as the base to build a huge base, you should need a huge amount of funds! With our current treasure reserves, is it enough to complete the construction of an island-level base?"
Rob smiled mysteriously and raised his finger to the sky:
"Have you already forgotten?"
"Above the sky, there is an island of gold. With that gold, it is enough for us to complete the construction of the base! Afterwards, we can also get a lot of money by making artificial Devil Fruits!"
As long as all the gold from Sky Island is taken away, it will be enough for Rob and the others to build their own base.
Hearing Rob talk about the gold in Sky Island, Robin and the others all had a clear look on their faces, and they no longer had any doubts.
After discussing some details again, Rob clapped his hands and decided:
"It seems that there is no problem anymore! Then, let's act according to our plan!"
Hearing the words, Robin, Uta, and Makino all responded with smiles on their faces!
Crash
Quickly, the huge Angel turned a corner in the sea and sailed directly towards Jaya Island, which had been destroyed and rebuilt many times!
After a month, the four of Rob returned to the 10,000-meter-high White-White Sea again and took away the large amount of gold left on the island of the gods, Apayado, including the huge golden bell.
Facing the mighty Rob, Sky Island's current god, Gan fall, was powerless to stop him, and Rob even took the blood factors of his mount, the bird which ate the Horse-Horse Fruit!
Another half month passed.
After taking almost all the gold from Apayado, the four of Rob returned directly to the New World from a height of 10,000 meters!
Somewhere at the entrance to the New World.
Clatter—
The huge hull of the Angel fell from the sky, and in an instant on the calm sea, there was a splash of water all over the sky.
Above the deck, Rob looked at the sunny and undulating sea in front of him, a smile on his face:
"Finally back to this familiar sea!"
"Next, we need to find an island with good scenery and biological resources, occupy it as our base, and then contact Stussy, Morgans, and other underground giants to exchange gold for various resources!"
At first, Rob had thought about directly occupying Punk Hazard, taking the island with a secret research institute set up by the World Government and abundant biological resources, as his own ready-made territory to control.
After thinking about it, he chose to give up. Punk Hazard is indeed very good, but it has already been developed by the World Government, and the things researched by the World Government may have almost polluted Punk Hazard.
So Rob decided to find an uninhabited island that was good in all aspects, start from scratch, and build a base that is completely his own!
The news of Angel's reappearance in the waters of the New World quickly spread. However, in Sabaody Archipelago, Fish-Man Island, and other places, there was no information about the passage of the Angel, making it seem as if the Angel suddenly started from the "Paradise" in the first half of the Grand Line, then returned to the New World!
This situation left many big shots stunned. After thinking about the news that Rob killed Shiki, the "Golden Lion," these big shots seemed to understand something.
New World.
On board the Moby Dick—
After Whitebeard heard Marco's words, his serious eyes narrowed:
"Sure enough—that guy Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability has been obtained by that kid! They didn't go through Sabaody's coating, nor did they pass through Fish-Man Island. They must have come from the sky!"
"The only thing that can do this is the ability of that fellow Shiki—the ability of the Float-Float Fruit!"
After hearing what Whitebeard said, Marco's face was full of inquiry:
"Father, do you want to start a deal with Rob's group? We have collected a lot of blood from Devil Fruit users before!"
Hearing the words, Whitebeard nodded seriously:
"Let's start! The future is becoming more and more unclear! But what is certain is that in a few years—the sea will definitely become extremely dangerous and chaotic, and you need more power for self-preservation!"
No rebuttal. Marco nodded earnestly. The turbulence of the sea in the past few years made him realize that the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates does have many shortcomings, and they really need to become stronger!
Not only Marco—
In the Whitebeard Pirates, many veterans and cadre members who were originally immersed in the dream of Whitebeard being invincible also woke up and began to work hard to become stronger.
The current Whitebeard Pirates—
Their strength is much stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates under the original trajectory.
Naval Headquarters - Marineford.
Sengoku looked at the information in his hands, gritting his teeth:
"The old man knew—this damn guy must have done something to Shiki to get the Float-Float Fruit! It's just—the four of them have abilities, so who will eat the Float-Float Fruit?"
Whitebeard can think of Rob getting the Float-Float Fruit. From the very beginning, Sengoku assumed the worst intentions for Rob, imagining how Rob crossed the Red Line and arrived at the second half from the first half without a sound!
But Sengoku had a doubt—
Because the information shows that there are no new faces on Rob's boat, it is worth investigating who ate the Float-Float Fruit.
Quickly, Sengoku called the Five Elders to pass on the intelligence information, and at the same time expressed the hope that the CPO could conduct a thorough investigation on this.
As for Sengoku's request, the Five Elders naturally agreed. Now they have regarded Rob as the most vigilant enemy.
Time turned.
Two months passed again!
This day—
In a spring climate in the New World, on a large uninhabited island with many ferocious beasts but good scenery and resources, a camp had been opened up by humans!
The huge Angel is like a spaceship, parked firmly on one side of the camp. On the other side, there is a stylish building with a garden, and in the garden, there is a swimming pool and other entertainment facilities!
Now—
In the swimming pool in the garden, Robin, Uta, and Makino are all wearing bikinis and playing in the water. Uta is wearing a swimming ring, drifting weakly with the tide!
Next to the pool, Rob is wearing floral cropped pants, shirtless, and using a Den Den Mushi to talk to several people at the same time!
"What I need has been faxed to you!"
Looking at the Den Den Mushis in front of him, Rob looked relaxed:
"After you have prepared the items, tell me a place to trade. I will let my people bring gold and a commodity that I will sell to the whole world through the underground world, and I will show you!"
"After you have finished the experiment, come and talk to me about the next business order!"
There was a pause. A mysterious smile appeared on Rob's face:
"The content of the transaction between me and you, you can also use it as information and exchange it with the World Government! But you are also very clear about the way I, Rob, treat people who go against me!"
"So when you make a decision, you must think clearly—I, Rob, have always treated people with sincerity. If anyone dares to betray me, then I will kill his whole family, and not a single bloodline will be left behind!"
"Everyone, do you understand?"
On the other side of those Den Den Mushis, many underground giants, including Morgans and Stussy, had cold sweat streaming down their faces. One by one, they responded:
"Yes, Master Rob, please rest assured!"
