One Piece: Reborn in Ohara

Looking at today's newspaper.

Rob had a satisfied smile on his face.

He opened his mouth and said:

"That guy Morgans is still very sensible! For the past two days, the headlines on the front page were all about Uta, making her name resound across the sea, and the efforts of the concert weren't completely in vain!

"It is only today that all the news is about the matter of the Celestial Dragons! This way, Uta's hard work for so long has had a great payoff!"

"Hahaha... this kid will cause trouble!"

Compared to the upcoming reports and their consequences, Rob cares more about the fact that Uta's efforts in the concert won't be wiped out!

Clearly--

Morgans knows what he's doing. In the first two days, he used the space to promote Uta's concert. Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku's letter of apology was overshadowed by Uta!

Until today, everything that happened at the end of the concert exploded!

And--

All the reports are true facts, with no attempt to cover up the World Government and Marines at all.

Of course.

Even if the World Government and Marines put pressure on him together, Morgans wouldn't compromise on this point. After all, the event was broadcast live, and many people already know about it.

This time, the news was released more to let people who didn't watch the live broadcast fully understand what happened!

If he still dared to cover up for the World Government and Marines after the whole live broadcast, then does he need the credibility accumulated by the World Economic News over the decades?

Is he, the king of news, shameless?

"In that case—"

With a doting smile on Robin's face, he looked at Uta beside him.

Rubbing her little head:

"With this concert, even if Uta can't become the world's number one singer, she can get closer to that position!"

Hearing this from Rob and Robin.

Uta smiled:

During their conversation.

Rob picked up a bounty poster with the four of them on it:

["The Strongest in the World" - Rob, regardless of life or death, bounty: 4,660,000,000 berries! A spicy, sinister, and cunning villain!]

["Princess Senju" - Robin, regardless of life or death, bounty: 1,079,000,000 berries! Remarks: Paramecia Flower-Flower Fruit user, strong physical ability, powerful awakened Haki, and her brother Rob's extremely insidious accomplice!]

["Witch of Fire" - Makino, regardless of life or death, bounty: 1,011,000,000 berries! A capable general, extremely dangerous!]

["The Diva of Songs" - Uta, life or death, bounty: 755,000,000 berries! Assisting criminals, extremely dangerous!]

Looking at his bounty poster, Rob stroked his chin and said with a smile:

"Has my bounty exceeded 4 billion berries for the first time? This number is really huge! I originally thought it would only be 2 billion at most, maybe just 1 billion berries!"

He looked up and asked Robin:

"What is the current bounty for the redhead?"

Holding his own bounty poster, Robin blurted out:

"3,311,100,000 berries!"

Rob nodded, clearly understanding.

Rob didn't pay too much attention to the bounty issue—

The amount given by this bounty poster is indeed high, but the question is, how many people can actually come to claim this bounty?

To be honest--

Excluding some special circumstances, the higher the bounty amount, the more it proves that the World Government and Marines are less sure they can easily deal with the target of the bounty!

So at certain times, the existence of a bounty can really reflect a person's strength!

Quickly.

After reading the newspaper and collecting everyone's first bounty poster as a souvenir, Rob's eyes became serious.

He spoke directly:

"This matter, for us, has temporarily come to a close! Next, it's time for us to set sail again and follow our previous plan—to obtain the Press-Press Fruit and the Float-Float Fruit!"

Hearing what Rob said, Robin, Uta, and Makino all nodded seriously.

They echoed:

Quickly.

After replenishing nautical supplies at the Sabaody Archipelago, the Angel automatically departed from the Sabaody Archipelago and sailed in the direction of the Grand Line Paradise.

And the news of their departure from the Sabaody Archipelago quickly spread to the eyes and ears of various parties across the sea.

Only--

They just know it!

Want to do more?

That's impossible.

They don't have the strength or the courage!

Now, at this time—

The user of the Press-Press Fruit, Issho, is currently untraceable. Rob doesn't know where Issho is, whether on the Grand Line or elsewhere in the world. For now, it's easier for Rob to target the base camp of the Float-Float Fruit ability user, "Golden Lion" Shiki, who should be in the sky above "Paradise" in the first half of the Grand Line!

After deciding to acquire Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability, Rob and his crew took the Angel and began sailing through the first half of the Grand Line, searching everywhere.

Their peculiar actions—

This time, however, didn't let all the forces on the sea relax their vigilance, especially the World Government and Marines, who became extremely alert.

Whenever Rob and the others stayed on a particular island, the World Government and Marines would search that island repeatedly. If they were on an uninhabited island, it would also be combed thoroughly!

But no matter what, they gained nothing, wasting a lot of manpower and resources in vain!

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Rob and his crew continued to sail unimpeded through the first half of the Grand Line, searching for Shiki's base camp. Meanwhile, Rob also began improving the manufacturing technology of artificial devil fruit and Seraphim.

Robin, Uta, and Makino, while doing what they enjoyed, started using the practice space to train harder and develop their abilities.

Especially Uta—

Among the four of them, Uta is the only one who hasn't awakened her Sing-Sing Fruit, and she's working diligently!

Quickly, the progression of history brings us to Sea Circle Calendar 1516, March 7th!

In the first half of the Grand Line, on an uninhabited island in "Paradise", the Angel is docked on the shore. In a small wooden villa on this uninhabited island, Rob holds Shinto in his hand, smiling:

"..Have you finally transformed into a black blade? My partner! I'm really sorry... I wanted to sublimate you this time, but I need more advanced capabilities of the Angel, so I can only postpone it."

"Next time, I promise to prioritize your sublimation! Believe me!"

Now—

The blade of Shinto in Rob's hand has changed from a bloody color with a hint of menace to a reflective black with obvious red.

Shinto has been thoroughly transformed into an indestructible black blade under the long-term influence of Rob's Haki.

Of course, it's not just the black blade that's changed, but also the Angel!

Since the Float-Float Fruit and Press-Press Fruit are still out of reach, Rob chose to upgrade the Angel again after his fifth talent, the extreme sublimation, recovered.

There's no other option—

With the abilities of the Float-Float Fruit and Press-Press Fruit unavailable for a long time, and the situation with the World Government and Marines completely deteriorating, Rob naturally wants to plan ahead.

As their mobile home, the extreme sublimation of the Angel offers more significant benefits than the current Shinto, which isn't in urgent need of enhancement.

So Rob opted for the third sublimation of Platinum Angel!

After the third extreme sublimation, Angel lived up to Rob's high expectations and underwent another massive transformation.

The current Angel -

On the original basis, its size expanded more than five times. Beyond its normal, submarine, and combat modes, it now includes a fourth mode with enhanced mobility—the air mode!

At the same time—

Rob also integrated the lightning from his Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the flames of Makino's Flame-Flame Fruit into the Angel's weapon system, amplifying the power of these two elemental attacks!

After planning a living area for the expanded Angel, the rest of the space was designated as Rob's research and production area for artificial weapons!

In other words—

The current Angel has not only become a true super battleship capable of traversing both sky and sea but also meets Rob's initial needs for manufacturing Seraphim weapons and ordinary artificial weapons.

Snapping Shinto back into its scabbard, Rob stretched and prepared to find Robin and the others on the Angel.

Swish—

A red light flashed in Rob's eyes. His Observation Haki had strengthened to the point where he could occasionally glimpse the future without actively activating it, allowing him to see events more than ten seconds ahead.

"Um?!"

Surprised for a moment, Rob looked toward the distant sky.

Rob's powerful Observation Haki instantly enveloped the distant sky, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face!
