88. Go To East Blue! The Upcoming Trip To The World!

Look at the light red Op-Op Fruit in your hand.

Rob has a smile on his face:

"It worked! This way, all the side effects of the Op-Op Fruit will be eliminated! Afterward, as long as you do it a few times, you should be able to minimize the consumption of the Op-Op Fruit!"

"And when the time comes, it's almost time for us to re-enter the Grand Line! Before we do, I will eat the Op-Op Fruit, and when you two are at your best age and beauty, I will complete the Perennial Youth Surgery for you!"

"Not only will you gain eternal life, but also eternal youth!"

Hearing Rob's words, both Robin and Uta are full of anticipation, their faces and eyes very serious and dignified.

Taking his eyes off the Op-Op Fruit, Robin looks at Rob:

"Oni-chan, the current Op-Op Fruit must be hidden well... If others get it, the consequences could be very, very serious!"

Rob nodded.

"I know! Don't worry, the next Op-Op Fruit will be collected by the Angel, and the collection location can be moved anytime and anywhere!"

"And with our current strength, before re-entering the Grand Line, or even the New World, we don't need to worry about someone being able to snatch this Op-Op Fruit from us!"

No side effects, and it's a Devil Fruit with strengthened abilities. If it appears on the sea, what kind of waves will it cause? Whether it's Rob, Robin, or the young Uta, it's very clear!

And this will be the biggest secret in the hearts of the three of them!

Even if they study the Poneglyphs, this matter can be exposed, but the fact that Rob can make Devil Fruits side effect-free and strengthen their abilities must never be known!

Otherwise, the three of them will become enemies of the entire sea and the whole world.

The sea will never allow such a powerful existence to appear!

Soon, Rob placed the Op-Op Fruit in a small treasure chest and put it in the treasure chest.

Rob turned to the Angel ship elf, who appeared from nowhere, and asked:

"I leave the collection of the Op-Op Fruit to you! Xiaobai, wait a year before giving it to me!" (T/N: Little white)

After saying this, Rob leisurely left the treasury.

And when Rob just left the treasury, Xiaobai, an angel-like phantom, appeared in a burst of light and moved towards the small Op-Op Fruit treasure chest, embracing it.

After the phantom of the angel disappeared, the small treasure chest that was originally placed in an obvious spot vanished into the treasure vault of the Angel.

Back on the deck, Rob looked at Robin and Uta, who were waiting for him, with a smile on his face:

"It has been handed over to Xiaobai!"

The existence of the Klabautermann Xiaobai had been evident throughout their voyage of more than a year. Whether it was Rob, Robin, or Uta, they had all seen it. So, after hearing Rob say it was handed over to Xiaobai, they felt relieved.

Hiding things on the ship, no one could hide from the ship spirit itself!

"Then next—" With a smile, Rob said:

"Robin, Uta! It's time for us to leave North Blue! The harvest in North Blue has been excellent—Op-Op Fruit, five Poneglyphs, and a lot of money and supplies. It's been quite a fruitful venture!"

"And Robin has mastered both types of Haki, her strength has improved significantly! Uta's reputation as a 'little diva' is growing louder and louder! The goal of becoming the 'world's number one singer' is one step closer."

In a few words, Rob summarized their achievements in North Blue. After hearing these accomplishments, Robin and Uta both smiled.

Robin was thrilled to have found five Poneglyphs in North Blue. Combined with their earlier finds, they now had more than half of the Poneglyphs. The historical truth of the Void Century was still somewhat vague, but now Robin had solved half of it and could even speculate on some of the content.

Now, the Void Century was finally becoming less of a blank slate.

Robin was increasingly confident she would fully uncover the true history of the Void Century.

Uta was happy because her reputation as a "little singer" had grown significantly, bringing her closer to her dream of becoming the "world's number one singer."

Seeing the happy faces of Robin and Uta made Rob's mood even brighter.

"Prepare to set sail! We'll go to Reverse Mountain first, then enter the first half of the Grand Line, and from there, we'll head to South Blue! After traveling through South Blue, we will go to East Blue again!"

"I haven't seen everyone in East Blue for a long time! Especially Mr. Kozaburo, if we don't visit him... that old man, we might never get the chance again."

After hearing what Rob said,

Robin's face also showed a hint of realization, recalling it after a while.

She put a smile on her face:

"That's right! I wonder how Makino's tavern is doing, and little sister Kuina, she must be ten years old now! It's been so long!"

Thinking of Makino, Robin subconsciously turned her head to look at Rob beside her.

Maybe she didn't understand it before, but now she does. Back then, Makino must have had a crush on her Oni-chan. After all, he is very handsome and powerful, popular with girls everywhere!

Going back to East Blue this time, will Makino have a chance to become her sister-in-law?

Thinking this, Robin subconsciously shook her head:

"How is it possible? It's been so many years! Children's emotions are fleeting; how could it last until now? It's absolutely impossible," she muttered, trying to reassure herself.

Hearing Robin muttering softly, Rob looked at her suspiciously:

"What's wrong?"

Robin snapped out of her thoughts, shook her head with a smile, and said:

"No! Nothing! Hee hee hee..."

Seeing the smile on Robin's face, Rob didn't pay much attention.

Now Robin is a sixteen-year-old beautiful girl. It's normal for her to have her own little secrets. Although their brother-sister relationship had deepened unknowingly, Rob still respected Robin's privacy and was willing to give her more space.

Quickly, the Angel began sailing in the direction of Reverse Mountain.

Half a month passed.

The Angel descended directly from the downward current of Reverse Mountain and finally stopped on the shore of Twin Cape.

"Looks like Crocus isn't here? Then I will catch up with him afterwards!"

After getting off the boat, Rob didn't sense the presence of Crocus, nor could he feel Laboon's usual presence. Seeing the accumulated dust inside the lighthouse confirmed that Crocus must have traveled far away.

After placing the presents for Crocus on the table in the lighthouse, the three of them left again.

After a month, the Angel sailed to the South Blue waters. The news that Rob and his siblings had arrived in South Blue spread quickly when they stopped at the first island of South Blue to rest. The people who received the news were not surprised by it!

If nothing else, a year later, these three siblings who love to sail freely on the sea would appear in East Blue!

Arriving in the third month of South Blue, after resting enough, Rob and his siblings began exploring South Blue. At the same time, Rob started what he had mentioned before—revenge on the Donquixote family!

South Blue—

The winds were picking up.

In the fourth month...

Under Rob's relentless pressure, Doflamingo withdrew all his "tentacles" from South Blue. By plundering the heavenly gold and leveraging his status as a Celestial Dragon, he secured the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea from the World Government.

This news amazed the general public on the seas!

However, because Rob's previous exploits in North Blue had been long forgotten in the ever-changing seas, people focused more on Doflamingo becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, without much impact on anything else.

Clatter—

Sailing on the deck of the Angel in South Blue, Rob read the front page of the newspaper announcing Doflamingo's new status as a Seven Warlords of the Sea.

His eyes showed a hint of interest:

"Finally a Seven Warlords of the Sea? Interesting!"

But that's all.

He put down the newspaper.

Rob didn't dwell on the matter and continued with his own plans!

Soon, half a year passed.

In the past six months, the three siblings sailed through South Blue with great success. They found three more Poneglyphs, and Robin felt that the day she could uncover the historical truth of the Void Century was near.

Uta was getting closer to her dream!

After a year in South Blue, their travel plans in this sea area were complete, marking the end of their journey in South Blue. Consequently, this also concluded their original plan to travel through all four seas.

After all, Rob and the others had spent considerable time in East Blue.

On this day, the Angel officially departed from a port in South Blue, heading straight towards the Calm Belt. They planned to traverse the Calm Belt, pass through the first half of the Grand Line, and then re-enter East Blue from the Calm Belt on the other side!

"This time—"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Rob's face was full of anticipation.

He spoke:

"Those protagonists should already be little brats! This time, the voyage in East Blue shouldn't be too boring!"
