Didn't care about Arlong's gang.
Since Jinbei still has to deal with it, you can trust Jinbei's character.
"Correct!"
Rob looked at Otohime.
Open the mouth directly:
"In your Ryugu Kingdom, isn't there a special secret medicine that can obtain powerful strength in a very short time by consuming vitality and lifespan—the Energy Steroid?"
"Give me the formula of the Energy Steroid, and give me a few more days. I will greatly reduce its side effects, and then use this thing as a strategic material for your Ryugu Kingdom to produce!"
"In addition, there are some useless Devil Fruits on my boat, and I give them to you too! The Energy Steroid with minimal side effects, coupled with the existence of Devil Fruit powers, will make the power of your Ryugu Kingdom rise significantly."
"In addition, I will give Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi three more powerful weapons, so that you will have more power and be able to protect little Shirahoshi and the entire Fish-Man Island!"
There was a pause.
There is seriousness in Rob's eyes:
"Since you have become a force under my command, and this is the home of little Shirahoshi, I will naturally not treat you badly! As for the so-called 'small gifts' you hand in every year...
"The reason why I agreed to shelter Fish-Man Island is because of little Shirahoshi, and the second reason is because of your courage, Otohime! I don't care about the rest!"
Hearing Rob's words, especially when Rob mentioned their Ryugu Kingdom's Energy Steroid, the expressions of Otohime's family changed, but they were soon reassured by Rob's generous offer.
After improvement, the Energy Steroid with greatly reduced side effects, and several Devil Fruits.
In addition, three special weapons will be given to Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi as gifts. It can be said that it can directly strengthen the power of the entire Ryugu Kingdom in a very short period of time!
"Good!"
Otohime didn't hide it either, and looked directly at Fukaboshi beside her:
"Go get a copy of the formula and samples of the Energy Steroid, and give them all to Rob-sama!"
Hearing Otohime's words, Fukaboshi responded and then went directly to the treasure house of the Ryugu Kingdom.
It didn't take long.
Rob got the recipe of the Energy Steroid, and some samples sent by Fukaboshi!
Looking at the Energy Steroid in his hand, he thought.
This is something like a stimulant with super strong side effects!
One can double the user's strength, two can quadruple, and so on. If you eat too much, it will indeed increase your strength, but there will be changes in the body, as well as aging, death, etc., as side effects!
All in all--
The side effects of this thing are really significant, and the effect is even more impractical!
The truly strong don't need this at all!
Who doesn't have a move or two that suddenly increases their strength?
But I have to say—
If the side effects can be reduced to the minimum, the Energy Steroid will still have a considerable effect on ordinary people, especially in terms of the sudden increase in the combat power of a kingdom's army. It will still have a great impact!
If it is obtained by the World Government, it will definitely be used in the Marine on a large scale!
Regarding the point of weakening the side effects, Rob believes that after his research and improvement, the side effects will be greatly reduced. At the very least, it will not endanger the users' lives, which is still an easy thing to achieve!
"Five days!"
Rob's expression was casual, and he looked at Otohime:
"We will stay here in Fish-Man Island for five days. During these five days, I will reduce the side effects of the Energy Steroid to the minimum, or even eliminate them. How to use it is up to you!"
"When the time comes, I will give you the perfect formula to divide, but you need to see that this secret formula will not be leaked to the greatest extent, understand?"
Otohime nodded seriously:
"Okay, Rob-sama, please rest assured!"
Indeed—
Rob is very generous with their gifts, but Otohime is more aware that this generosity has already been priced.
Don't look at Rob saying that there is nothing he needs in Fish-Man Island, but if Fish-Man Island shows the slightest sense of betrayal, disaster will come in an instant!
This—
It's not that Rob loves little Shirahoshi so much that he can let it go!
"Alright, we will discuss about this later! Now—the business is over. On to the party—and the music and the dancing!"
Quickly.
The banquet continued.
After chatting with Otohime for a while, Rob communicated with little Shirahoshi who came to him.
Compared to adults like Jinbei and Otohime, Rob prefers to communicate with the innocent and pure little Shirahoshi. The pure loli can heal the dirty hearts of people like Rob!
Rob has to say it again—
Every little loli is a gift from God!
The next day.
When Rob and his crew were still staying on Fish-Man Island, the World Economy News reported Rob's declaration that Fish-Man Island was his territory, making it a headline on the front page: "Declared to the entire world!"
The headlines of the newspapers of the day were very eye-catching:
Shock! "The Strongest in the World" - Rob declared to the world: "From today on, Fish-Man Island is my territory!"
The man who has never had any strongholds and has never been restrained on the sea - finally has his own territory! What kind of future does this situation represent?
After the "Four Emperors"' king's arrival, the "strongest" of the sea, the "pioneer" of the new era, and the unfettered "king of freedom" seem to be starting his own journey?
There was a lot of news!
But the news on the front page was primarily related to Rob's announcement that Fish-Man Island was his territory, or it was about the "little diva" - Uta's concert progress!
Under some news headlines, there were also photos:
Some photos showed many gang of pirates and human traffickers slaughtering and plundering the people of Fish-Man Island, and there were also photos of King Neptune of the Ryugu Kingdom and his three sons standing behind Rob. There were photos of Shirahoshi and Robin playing together!
These news pieces, coupled with these photos, revealed an extraordinary amount of information!
Enough to make waves all over the world.
New World.
In the land of Red haired pirates, in the town of an island,
The red-haired man, looking more like a mature and handsome uncle, read the newspaper he had just received today with a serious face.
Frowning:
"Rob classified Fish-Man Island as his territory? Why? This kind of action should not be of any benefit to him! After all, his situation is very special!"
All the time—
The reason why Rob is feared by all parties and unwilling to be provoked is that he is untethered, and he has no attachments, so he is feared by so many powerful figures!
But when Rob has his own territory, then he is no longer untethered.
Many people may think that this is an opportunity to manipulate him!
"There must be some reason!"
Looking at the photo of Rob in the newspaper,
The redhead had a serious face:
"Rob looks like a guy who has no desires, but in fact - he is a shrewd, even ruthless existence! Fish-Man Island must have something he cares about!"
"I just don't know what Rob cares about!"
Regarding this, Shanks was very curious, but he didn't plan to investigate it.
One is because he doesn't want to offend Rob because of this, and the other is because someone else will check it out!
The news will come out sooner or later!
Like Shanks, after seeing the news about Rob declaring Fish-Man Island as his territory, the three emperors of the sea, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, also expressed concern, but they didn't take any action, obviously not wanting to offend Rob.
Except for the Four Emperors of the New World—
Naval Headquarters.
Inside the Fleet Admiral's office in Marineford.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who cared the most about Rob and his crew, quickly pulled Vice Admiral Tsuru, the three Admirals, and some mid-level generals to hold an urgent meeting after receiving the news!
"The first thing is to give his sister a very expensive concert!"
Sitting on the marshal's seat, Sengoku's face was serious:
"Now he announces that Fish-Man Island will be classified as his territory! What does this rambunctious brat want to do?"
Hearing Sengoku's words,
The generals below all had serious faces, and at the same time, they began to think about it. They all speculated on the reason why Rob did this. It can't be that he wants to save Fish-Man Island out of kindness, right?
"What the reason is, what he wants to do, let's not talk about it for now!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru folded her hands,
Opened her mouth and said:
"However, the fact that Rob classified Fish-Man Island as his own territory is a good thing for us Marines! At the very least—the current Rob and his group are no longer the 'freedom kings' they were before!"
"Fish-Man Island has become the bondage of Rob's group. After that guy has an extremely obvious weakness, it will be much easier if he has any plans in the future."
Tsuru's words were recognized by many generals in the office, and even Sengoku nodded with a smile on his face.
In his opinion,
It's not scary that Rob classified a certain place as his own territory; the scary thing is if he didn't have such a territory!
Once people have bonds, they have extremely obvious weaknesses. Fish-Man Island is Rob's weakness exposed to all the forces on the sea, and it is also exposed to their Marines!
There is absolutely no reason why the future Marines will not pay attention to this point when making plans for Rob!
