38. The Time Of Turbulence! Return To The Grand Line!
Time flies.
Since the battle with Shanks, Rob and Robin took Uta to explore East Blue, and they have been traveling there for more than half a year!
The time is now—
It is Sea Circle Calendar 1504, the first half of March!
Just last month, Robin celebrated her eleventh birthday. Thanks to her nutrition, potential potions, body-building potions, and daily training, Robin's growth is excellent!
Now Robin—
With a height of 1.3 meters, fair skin, and beautiful, long hair fluttering, she has begun to show the graceful posture of a woman, slowly growing. You can see with the naked eye that she is a top-notch beauty in the making.
Robin has grown up a lot, and Rob has also changed a lot!
He is now eleven years old, his height growing naturally, and with continuous training, he has rapidly grown to a height of 1.5 meters. He has black messy hair, cropped pants, a flowered shirt, and flip flops, featuring a casual and unrestrained style!
Uta can walk now and speak some simple sentences to express her needs to Rob and Robin. She can clearly call the two "onee-san" and "onii-san."
Meanwhile, with Shanks entering the Grand Line, and gaining continuous fame through many battles with Dracule Mihawk, the world has reported on his sword - Gryphon.
Rob's reputation as the youngest sword forging master in history has also spread across the sea!
Especially later, when Rob revealed that he had forged a Supreme Grade sword himself, his position in the sword forging world was established.
The living legendary strongest swordsmith—
Many swordsmen and people at sea call Rob this.
This is normal. After all, whether it is Shimotsuki Kozaburo or Tenguyama Hitetsu, and many other legendary sword forging masters, they were already very old when they became famous, and the world now does not think that they are still alive.
This situation is—
Some people are alive, but everyone thinks they are dead.
The advantage of this huge reputation is that, without knowing it, he has gained the respect of some powerful and not bad-hearted swordsmen, and occasionally swordsmen who bring their own materials and money will ask him to forge handy weapons!
Occasionally he collects money, and occasionally Rob also asks for favors from each of them, gradually allowing him to accumulate a lot of contacts at sea.
Of course, there are also troubles. There are many greedy people trying to capture Rob, imprison him, constantly forge various famous swords, and covet the Supreme Grade sword in Rob's hand - Shinto.
And such people have all been buried at sea.
After many people died, many gradually understood that Rob, a living legendary swordsmith, not only had a great reputation, but his own strength was extremely terrifying!
All in all—
Every day in the Great Pirate Era, various changes are taking place!
On the deck.
Rob held a copy of today's newspaper in his hand and crossed his legs gracefully. On his lap, Uta lay asleep, using his leg as a crib, drooling.
Not long after, Robin, who had just finished a day's training, drank the potential potion, took a bath with the body-building potion, wiped her wet long hair, and wearing shorts and suspenders, sat beside Rob.
She asked:
"Is there any news worth noting? Onii-chan!"
He shook his head.
Rob had a smile on his face:
"There is no noteworthy news, most of it is related to those big forces in the New World, and there are not many other things worth noting! We are still in East Blue, and the 'New World' is too far from us!"
Most of the news during this time revolves around the Whitebeard Pirates, Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and some of the more famous big pirates of this era that have not been eliminated.
Of course.
There are not many young people—
Red Hair Pirates, Marine Hunter Dracule Mihawk, Gekko Moria, Crocodile and other characters are all in the New World, stirring up the winds and waves, and they are the central figures of the world in these years!
All in all—
The future powerhouses will all show their demeanor in this time period!
"Get ready!"
Putting down the newspaper, holding Uta in his arms, and wiping the crystal saliva from the corners of her mouth, Rob looked at Robin:
"We've had enough of East Blue too!"
"Next, we will also go to the Grand Line to have fun! Now the sea is magnificent, although we are still very young, I don't want to miss this era. It's time for the world to really hear our voice!"
Hearing Rob's words.
There was admiration in Robin's eyes, she looked at Rob, and nodded slightly:
"Okay!"
Although Robin doesn't know the meaning of being famous at sea and letting the world hear her voice, and she doesn't have much will, since it's what Onii-chan wants to do, she is willing to support him without reservation!
Now that you have decided to go to the Grand Line, you naturally need to make some preparations.
Log poses, etc. The things that Grand Line needs, Rob and Robin had already prepared them when they entered the Grand Line a few years ago, and now they need to prepare only materials!
Two days later.
The small sailboat arrived at Loguetown smoothly, and after replenishing a large amount of supplies here, it set sail again, carrying Rob, Robin, and Uta, who was like an spirit on the boat, and sailed in the direction of the Grand Line!
...
A few days later.
On a sunny day, the small sailing boat once again passed the upcurrent of Reverse Mountain, and finally went down the downcurrent. After more than two years, it successfully entered the Grand Line again!
Twin Capes.
The small sailboat docked on the shore, while Rob and Robin took Uta to the lighthouse, where they saw Crocus, who they hadn't seen for more than two years!
