NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37: Opening the first art store in the Grand Line!
¶¶¶
Bell-mère has arrived at the art store but finds Rob nowhere, so she sits down at the bar and she starts to wait for him to come back.
No matter how long she has to wait, she'll sit here obediently until he comes.
While sitting in the bar, which was without any waitress or waiter, she had a genius idea.
"Yes, that could work..."
...
Loguetown, East Blue;
Rob was walking around Loguetown at this moment, every time he updated the manga, he'd wander through his art stores and associated towns or villages.
It was a chore to see his audience's reaction to the new volume firsthand.
And that didn't disappoint at all, people were really enjoying his work.
The story of One Piece has restored a kind of feelings for these people that may have been lost even from their genes.
This world that many in the modern world dreamed of crossing into was so cruel to ordinary people, it could be said that it was devoid of any colors of life.
Although there are wonderful fairytale-like islands and more wonderful seas to visit, and amazing types of life to see, a mysterious history to enjoy exploring it, and all kinds of interesting things in this really big world.
However, for the ordinary people who make up 99% of this world can't even think about it, all they want is to live a safe life away from the cruel hands of the world.
This is the reality of this world that is hidden behind the gentle facade of the anime.
In this real world, the simplest wish of ordinary people is to live well.
The extremely inexpensive and entertaining manga Rob was a new world and a way of life that Rob had brought into the bleak world of these ordinary people that no one had thought of before.
Even the fierce pirates have become meeker after getting to know the One Piece manga!
Rob had been receiving a lot of art points notifications from the many ferocious pirates of the Four Seas throughout the previous days.
Because the art stores punished some of these pirate rioters the number of rioters has decreased, after all, no one wants to be deprived of the One Piece manga.
Since Rob was the only person selling manga, he took control of everything about it.
From the money to the good audience opinions, and controlling public opinion, he was the boss of the new market he invented, no one could compete with him in this regard, only if the world government wanted to create its own manga story as well, maybe they could compete with him a little bit.
...
This time Rob had another purpose in coming to Loguetown, also known as East Blue's End Point.
He was planning to visit the Grand Line!
It's okay if his entry into the Grand Line is not detected by the World Government, is it?
Since it's okay, he'll do it.
After he was done wandering around the fun town because of the art store, Rob flew into the sky and his destination was the Reverse Mountain.
The entrance to the Grand Line!
Rob soared into the sky and turned almost invisible, as he used a color that matches the color of the sky with his paper body and flew haughtily, no one would be able to see him unless it explored the sky with its observing haki.
Rob kept flying and quickly crossed the Reverse Mountain and entered the Grand Line, Rob felt a tangible change in the atmosphere around him, for a moment he thought as if he had entered another world.
Rob saw Laboon which started to look like a big whale bitly without any scars on its head. After all, Crocus has yet to return to tell him the shocking truth about the death of the Rumbar Pirates.
He knows about Laboon from his memories in the manga and also from the previous Rob, after all, Crocus travels on the ship with them because he wants to find the remains of the Rumbar Pirates, all in order to stop this cute whale's rampage.
Although Crocus had never told him about Laboon, but he once accidentally overheard him asking Rayleigh about the Rumbar Pirates, and then told Rayleigh and Roger about the story of the loyal whale, who is loyal to his friends and is still waiting for their return.
Rob sighed and continued his journey toward the front.
Rob doesn't really want to get too involved in the plot so that keeps a few key events intact. Unfortunately, Rob doesn't know that in the near future he will get in a lot of trouble because of this whale.
Rob continued his journey following the Log Pose he had bought from Loguetown, the destination of the Log Pose being the first island on the Grand Line.
Whiskey Peak!
But of course, Rob won't open his secret art store in an environment full of bounty hunters.
It wouldn't be called a secret store anymore if he did.
In that place, he will find his way to the next island where his true target will be.
Time passed and Rob could finally see the features of Whiskey Peak Island.
He was still in the sky as he used the observation haki to find out where someone selling Log Poses was in that place.
In the end, he manages to locate this and does some disguise by fiddling with the papers before heading to the person selling the log poses.
Rob wanted a very rare and eternal Log Pose, which would lead to Little Garden Island.
Unfortunately, he didn't find it at this seller but got information about it after he offered 1 million berries as commission.
After a little trouble, he managed to get it from one of the bounty hunters on the island, although it was done by force, but he succeeded anyway.
After obtaining the eternal log pose, Rob didn't put time on whiskey peak anymore and flew to the next island.
Little Garden!
This was a semi-island cut off from the world, after all, it could only be reached by luck if an Eternal Log Pose wasn't available to record its coordinates.
...
After hours of flying fast, Rob made it to the little garden island, which looked like an ancient land from the primeval times of the world.
Rob has always been curious about this island and why everything around this island is so late for the world.
The reason Rob decided to open an art store here was to build a good relationship with the giant race and also create a secret burrow to escape if one day he needed to.
Even before he descends on the island, notice the two Giants fighting each other in devastating combat!
"Apparently, I've arrived at the wrong time."
