67. Rob Struck By Lightning! Practice On Thunder Island!

"Eh?!"

Hearing Rob's words, Robin was surprised:

"Great adventurer! Isn't this the same situation as us?"

Hearing this, the corners of Rob's mouth raised slightly, and then he retracted his gaze:

"Let's go! The current Fish-Man Island is very unfriendly to humans, and there is no need to be enemies with the entire Fish-Man Island. Just go directly to the 'New World'!"

Hearing the words, both Robin and Uta had expressions of anticipation on their faces. Laughing and responding loudly to Rob:

"Yes! Oni-chan!"

Quickly, the three of them drove the Angel, left Fish-Man Island, and headed towards the next island in the New World with the help of the New World-dedicated and more special Eternal Pose that had already accumulated full magnetic force.

Controlling the rudder, Rob, with flickering eyes, murmured in his heart:

"Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line, and the event of emancipating the slaves happened, either in 1506 or 1507. In these two years, Celestial Dragons' slaves will be freed!"

"In other words—the world's most beautiful woman in the future, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, will be liberated! I must go to see just how beautiful she is!"

Rob never imagined that the three Hancock sisters existed in a certain group of slaves he accidentally rescued. He thought that these three sisters were already slaves in the Holy Land of Mariejois!

At this moment, Rob can be sure that Fisher Tiger will free the slaves within two years at most. Because, as Princess Otohime said, at this moment, Fisher Tiger is crying out in his heart, and he has obviously become a slave of the Celestial Dragons. Having suffered inhuman torture, he has already made a decision in his heart.

But this has nothing to do with Rob! He's not a saint. He doesn't have a strong moral compass and won't rashly offend the ruling class at the apex of the world for the sake of slaves!

For things like freeing slaves, let Fisher Tiger do it.

After sailing under the sea for a long time, they reached a certain sea area of the New World.

The Platinum Angel flew directly out of the sea water, and after the soap bubbles burst, it landed on the sea again, and after it stabilized, it sailed slowly forward above the deck.

Rob stretched his waist, with a look of relief on his face:

"I finally left the seabed below 10,000 meters! Compared to Sky Island, Fish-Man Island is also full of magic, but the atmosphere there is indeed not as good as Sky Island!"

Racial conflict is too serious.

So when staying on Fish-Man Island, there is always a feeling of depression, and the same is true of the dark seabed!

Robin and Uta nodded in agreement.

After readjusting his mental state, Rob said:

"Among the routes in the New World, there are three islands to choose from as the first stop - Raijin Island, Risky Red Island, and Mystoria Island! The place we are going to is the most dangerous one under thunderstorm weather: Raijin Island!"

As for why Rob is going to the most dangerous island, Robin and Uta did not ask much and directly agreed.

Looking at Robin on the deck, Rob said:

"Robin, I'll leave it to you to control the direction of the ship! I'll make a lightning protection device for us, otherwise it may be difficult to land after arriving at Raijin Island!"

After a short pause, Rob also explained why:

"Raijin Island is always in thunderstorms, so it can be used as my practice site, and it is also a full-scale cultivation blessing! I want to develop the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit there!"

It is a whim to use the thunderstorm weather to exercise oneself and develop the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but one of the islands that Rob wants to visit is indeed Raijin Island.

As for Punk Hazard, not to mention whether it is the base where the World Government is conducting secret experiments, Punk Hazard is not within the range pointed by the Eternal Pose—you have to go there specially.

A day passed. After Rob successfully produced the umbrella for Robin and Uta and the lightning protection device for the human body, the Angel finally sailed to the waters near Raijin Island.

Before they landed on Raijin Island, the three of them were on the Angel and saw the terrifying thunderstorm above and the surrounding sea area, all covered by huge thunderclouds. It was like an apocalyptic scene!

"Wow!"

Robin looked serious:

"As expected of a dangerous island in the New World... With such a thunderstorm, is there really any creature that can survive on this island?"

Uta looked terrified and involuntarily came to Rob's side, grabbing Rob's leg with a poor little face:

"Oni-chan, Uta is scared!"

After seeing the reaction of the two, Rob pondered for a while and said:

"If you're afraid, why don't you two wait for me on the boat? I'll go to the island alone and leave directly after accumulating enough magnetic power. I don't have to practice here on Raijin Island."

After hearing what Rob said, both Robin and Uta shook their heads, rejecting Rob's option of leaving. Since they have already come to this dangerous island, they should follow their own Oni-chan's plan. They might not be able to help Rob, but at least they won't hold him back when he gets stronger!

Seeing the firm expressions of the two, Rob didn't insist on leaving either:

"Then get the boat close!"

Quickly, the Angel, equipped with a lightning protection device, docked on Raijin Island. Wearing a lightning protection umbrella and device, both Robin and Uta followed Rob, who didn't bring anything, and boarded the island.

Rob just set foot on Raijin Island when—

Boom!

An extremely terrifying thunderbolt, like a giant snake, landed directly from the sky, striking Rob fiercely and leaving his hair standing on end, with black smoke all over his body!

Seeing this scene, Robin and Uta were taken aback:

"Oni-chan?!"

When the thunder and lightning dissipated, Rob had a slightly speechless expression on his face:

"Yeah! A thunderbolt falls from the sky just for me when I go to the island? Tsk, tsk, tsk... This island is really interesting!"

While talking, Rob gave Robin and Uta a reassuring look, and said casually:

"Don't worry! Your Oni-chan is a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, one of the strongest in the sea. How could I be injured by a mere bolt of lightning?"

Bang—

As soon as his words fell, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Rob again and worsening his appearance, but he was still uninjured!

Even better, the power of lightning was greatly stimulating his innate strength, making him stronger quickly.

Seeing that Rob was fine, Robin and Uta were relieved. Then—

The two tacitly stayed several meters away from Rob!

There was no way around it.

Their own Oni-chan seems particularly prone to being struck by lightning. He has already been hit twice just after landing on the island. Who knows how many more times he will be hit in the future?

Staying away from their own Oni-chan now is the correct way to avoid danger.

Not paying attention to the reactions of Robin and Uta, Rob walked ahead and led the two of them directly towards the interior of Raijin Island.

After finding a place on the island, setting up a temporary camp, and making solid lightning protection equipment for the temporary camp, Rob went leisurely by himself to the highest point of Raijin Island.

For the first time, when he was practicing sword skills, he pulled out Shinto, and Rob began to practice the sword skills he learned from many sword masters who challenged him in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Under the thunderstorm weather, and at the highest point of Raijin Island, with Shinto in his hand, if Rob wasn't the target of concentrated lightning and thunder, he would be disappointed by his series of operations!

He practiced his sword skills over and over again, and was struck by lightning again and again. On Rob's dark face, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Feeling the speed at which he was becoming stronger, he thought:

"As expected of the great power of nature... Being struck by lightning is much better than the effect of stimulating my body with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! It's a pity that the stronger the effect, the more powerful the resistance will be gained!"

"In half a month at most, the blessing of natural lightning to my practice speed will be infinitely close to zero."

"But don't worry about that for now, practice first! Wait until the degree of blessing is greatly weakened, and then develop the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to realize the idea in my mind!"

For the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability, Enel's development direction is no longer useful to Rob. After all, when he just ate it, he almost had the same abilities as Enel's peak period, so he didn't need to refer too much to Enel's development results!

For the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, Rob already has a good idea. It only needs to be realized step by step.

Time passed bit by bit.

Half a month later, as Rob speculated, the degree of natural thunder and lightning's blessing to his physical practice has been reduced to almost nothing.

After confirming this, Rob switched his practice project to the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power: enhancing the current pressure and developing new moves for the application of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability!

The hostile environment of Raijin Island makes Rob's use of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit handy, and some seemingly unrealistic development ideas also have a higher chance of success.

Once he gets started, it will become very simple to continue to develop, and then there will be no need for an environment like Raijin Island.
