New World, The Flying Island, Merveille:

"What's your opinion, Kaido?" Rob leaned back in his chair, looking at the two massive men who were gazing at him with wide eyes as if they hadn't yet understood the reason for his appearance here.

"Do you want to kill me?" Kaido asked as he rubbed the horizontal scar on his back.

Every time he saw this man, Kaido felt a tremendous pain in his wound.

After hearing this, Rob raised his eyebrow in surprise, he didn't understand how this man had reached this conclusion.

"Why do you think I'm here to kill you?" Rob asked with interest.

Shiki listened from the side with a calm facade, but inside he was shaking and thinking of a way to escape the whole time.

"You told me that you want to adopt my daughter... This means that you want to kill her father so that you can be the sole father, isn't that so?" Kaido was ready to defend himself using his Armament Haki from any sudden attack.

He wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid of leaving this world without leaving a lasting impression... At least he wanted to see the extent of his bravery in the world of manga where there is no Sky Sword before he died.

"Haha!" Rob laughed in front of the agitated men, he could understand that, he had suddenly appeared in front of them without any warning after everything, "It seems that you have a wrong impression, whether you're alive or dead, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to get your agreement to adopt your daughter, I came to make a deal with you for this reason."

Kaido was surprised after hearing it, "A deal? What kind of deal?"

"I have something good planned to reveal to the world soon, only the people I choose will have the opportunity to participate and reap some benefits for themselves. If I am entrusted with your daughter Yamato, I will make sure to leave a seat for you. Don't ask me for details, you will find out soon enough."

"Something good...?" Kaido and Shiki's eyes widened upon hearing Rob's words. For someone, the size of Sky Sword who represents the pinnacle of strength in this world, a level stronger than the mightiest emperors and great pirates, to describe something as good, won't be simple by any means.

"I agree, I'll entrust Yamato to you in exchange for the opportunity you're talking about." Kaido didn't hesitate to accept Rob's offer. He would have accepted it no matter what, even if the deal only involved Rob leaving without battling him. Not to mention, Yamato currently had no use for him, so it was best to give her to Rob in exchange for the opportunity to participate in this 'something good.'

"Wise decision." Rob smiled with satisfaction upon hearing that. He didn't plan to use threats to take the child away from her father, no matter how rough and lacking in empathy the father was. He was still her legal father, so it was best to choose peaceful solutions. Moreover, he didn't come here personally, he was just a paper clone. If he fought with Kaido, he would easily lose.

Kaido didn't need to know that he was just a clone in any case, his name alone was enough to bring fear to Kaido and others.

"Well, I see you've formed an alliance with the Golden Lion," Rob shifted his gaze from Kaido to the Golden Lion Shiki, making the latter more tense, "Interesting. I see the Art Store is a big lure for you, enough to bring Kaido over to your side, Shiki."

Shiki smiled broadly, tapping his head, "Jihahaha! Yes, even now I don't know why you opened an art store on my island. At first, I considered it an apology gesture, for your visit that day, but later I discovered that it was part of your power, so it could be a way to spy on me. After all, I discovered that you're strong enough to defeat three of me, so I don't understand now the reason for giving me such a huge gift. Is it really just a commercial goal?"

Shiki raised all the confusion he had been harboring until now, even though it was painful for his pride, and acknowledged the power of the other party.

He also wanted to steer Rob's attention away from the issue of his alliance with Kaido because it was not a minor matter.

"Oh, there's no need to think much, everyone knows I'm just a trader who opens an art store on any island I visit."

Kaido's eyes widened upon hearing that, and he asked with a smile, "This means you opened one on my island below?"

Since he was just a clone, he was unable to open a store on the original Kaido's island.

"My feet haven't touched your island yet, I'll think about this later," Rob ended the discussion before standing up and preparing to leave.

However, before that, a piece of paper and a pen appeared in his hand, he quickly wrote and the same paper and pen appeared in front of Kaido.

"This is a custody transfer document, you just have to sign it to confirm the matter."

"Okay," Kaido did not hesitate to sign it. He couldn't use the pen because of the thickness of his fingers, so he used his blood to sign instead and returned it to Rob.

"I'm impressed with your design, so I don't mind giving you a simple warning before I go."

"The remains of the Rocks crew are a big threat to the world government, which recently uncovered its main controller and the destructive power in its hand represented by the ancient weapon. If the world government finds out about the alliance of two members of the Rocks crew remains, they will surely move against you."

Rob left these words before disappearing at the end of the aisle, leaving Kaido and Shiki drowning in their thoughts.

...

"... You handed over your daughter so easily, you have no empathy, Jihahaha."

"I wonder if the famous Sky Sword wants to imitate Newgate in raising children, Jihahaha!"

"If getting rid of one daughter for a chance from this man, I would do so with pleasure."

"Tsk, what a cold heart you have," Shiki commented.

Kaido didn't think much about it, Yamato born was just an incident at first.

It wasn't easy for the Oni to conceive children, but on that day, he had exhausted one of his concubines so much that he impregnated her by mistake and Yamato came into this world.

He planned to make her a high-level member of his crew since she was his daughter and was bound to inherit his strength. That wasn't a bad thing, so he separated her from her mother and placed her in a remote place away from society to educate her in the way he desired...

Well, this wasn't completed in any case, so it didn't matter anymore.

"What's important is to finish reading One Piece volume!"

"Oh, it looks like the old-era devil Oars committed a massacre in the Straw Hat crew, Worororo!!"

Kaido and Shiki both grabbed the One Piece volumes once again, and the tension brought by Rob's arrival disappeared from their hearts.

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

Oars, the huge giant, stood amidst the wreckage, glaring harshly at the defeated smaller figures.

Chopper, Robin, and Usopp were badly beaten by Oars's attacks, with Usopp barely hanging on to consciousness, shouting "D... Damn you....!!"

"Luffy....!!! Huff... Cough..." Usopp struggled for breath, coughing and gasping.

Sanji, Zoro, Franky, and Brook also suffered defeat, having been effortlessly overpowered by Oars.

The giant spoke in a gruff voice, emphasizing that he didn't know who Luffy was and declaring, "I don't know… you guys."

"I am Moria-sama's servant. Oars!!!"

•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•

Thriller Bark Island:

"Kishishishishi!!"

"Kiiiiishishishi… Cough! Cough!!!"

Moria's gleeful laughter was abruptly cut off by a fit of hacking coughs.

"Damn you shitty Coke!"

As the coughing subsided, a broad and malevolent grin spread across his face.

"Oars is incredibly strong! Astonishingly powerful!! If I only had such a robust servant at my disposal, I would never again lose to Kaido! Even Sky Sword, I fear it no longer!"

"Not even the world government will have any cause to look down upon me!"

As he remembered the condescending attitude Vice-Admiral Momonga had once displayed toward him, Moria felt a burning desire to become even more formidable!

"The straw hats have been thoroughly defeated! Kishishishishi! Where is the thick plot armor that you so proudly boast of? I see no trace of it!"
