There was no interference from other things.

When Rob focused on learning something wholeheartedly, his progress was nothing short of miraculous.

One month later.

After discovering Rob's talent, Crocus watched in amazement as Rob's medical skills advanced by leaps and bounds. Rob absorbed all of Crocus's knowledge like a sponge.

...

The second month began.

Rob started practicing hands-on procedures on animals and patients from ships descending from the Reverse Mountain. He demonstrated an exceptional talent for these tasks, quickly mastering them. Within half a month, Rob had successfully integrated all of Crocus's medical knowledge and practical experience, becoming a top-tier doctor.

...

The third month began.

Rob collaborated with Crocus to research medicines that could enhance physical qualities, boost human potential, and awaken latent abilities, along with special medicinal bath formulas. They spent a month creating these potions and formulas, but the initial versions had side effects. Rob and Crocus decided to seal these formulas and continued their research.

...

After another two months, thanks to Rob's hard work and Crocus's assistance, they managed to reduce the side effects of the potions and medicinal bath formulas to almost nothing while tripling their efficacy.

...

Soon, another month passed.

After returning from Jaya Island, Rob and Robin had been at the Twin Cape Lighthouse with Crocus for six months. During this time, Rob had been studying and researching intensively. Six months were enough for Rob and Robin to develop a strong bond with Crocus, treating him as a true elder and mentor.

They learned more about each other, including that Rob and Robin were from Ohara and that Crocus was the ship doctor of the Pirate King, Roger!

In the last month, with Rob's hard work and Crocus's support, they finally produced potions and medicinal bath formulas that had no side effects and were five times more effective than the original versions.

Now.

In Crocus's basement research room, Rob, wearing a slightly too-small white coat, looked at the two green potions in his hand with a satisfied smile:

"Potions without side effects to enhance potential and physical strength have finally been developed!"

Crocus, also in a white coat, walked over with a look of surprise, examining the results of the potions and medicinal bath formulas:

"You actually succeeded! If you told me you could develop a panacea now, I wouldn't be surprised! This is incredible!"

Rob smiled, putting away both potions and their formulas. He stretched and said:

"A panacea, huh? Maybe I'll try to develop that when I have more time in the future. For now, it's time to embark on a new voyage! Mr. Crocus, I am deeply grateful for your teaching and care over these past six months."

Crocus waved his hand dismissively, looking indifferent:

"No! I only taught you for half a month. Your exceptional progress is all due to your hard work, not this old man!"

Rob chuckled, appreciating Crocus's humility, knowing that without his guidance, such progress wouldn't have been possible. With a final farewell, Rob and Robin prepared to continue their journey, stronger and more knowledgeable than before.

Rob had a confident smile on his face.

"I told you, I'm a genius!"

Crocus nodded, appreciating Rob's self-proclaimed genius.

More than a genius? It was simply a natural monster!

Over the past six months, Crocus had come to understand just how terrifying Rob's strength was—his tough and resilient physique, mastery of Conqueror's Haki, powerful physical skills, and increasingly refined sword techniques. Even if he went to the New World, he could make a name for himself, which was extraordinary for his age!

In the afternoon, Rob was preparing ingredients for a big meal to celebrate the successful development of the potential and body training potions. Robin, ever helpful, assisted him. Meanwhile, Crocus lounged on a beach chair, reading the latest news delivered by the News Coo.

"Huh? This is..."

Seeing the headlines, Crocus's pupils shrank, and his expression changed. He glanced at Rob and Robin, who were chatting and laughing, with a distressed look.

Rob noticed Crocus's expression and paused.

"What's wrong, Mr. Crocus? Is there something special in today's news?"

Crocus pondered for a moment before becoming serious.

"Boy, Robin... your hometowns are gone."

Rob was momentarily stunned, realizing that Crocus was referring to Ohara in West Blue. Robin also reacted, dropping her work and joining Rob to look at the newspaper.

The headline read:

Marine launches Buster Call in an attempt to subvert the world's sinful island—Ohara is completely destroyed!

"Ohara..."

Robin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Why did the Marine launch a Buster Call on Ohara? Could it be... the Poneglyphs?! Teacher Clover and the others..."

Rob looked at the newspaper, his expression somber.

"I'm afraid... they've all been wiped out. Marine's Buster Call doesn't spare anyone. Unless there was an unexpected event, everyone on the island was likely caught in the artillery fire."

The day of Ohara's destruction had finally come. He noted the scale of the Buster Call launched on Ohara. As he pondered, he felt lucky, realizing that the Buster Call was led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

If he had stayed in Ohara and not activated his third talent, his current strength would have been insufficient. He might not have survived, and Robin's fate would have been uncertain.

At this moment, Rob felt that leaving Ohara early had been a wise decision.
