Chapter 125: 125. Live Broadcast?
Crash
On board the Angel that has just left an island port.
Rob, who was sitting on a chair on the deck, was holding today's newspaper in his hand and was watching the news about the upcoming battle between him and Whitebeard reported by Morgans!
There's a Den Den Mushi in front of him—
It's Morgans' call!
"Mr. Rob, have you seen it?"
Inside the Den Den Mushi, Morgans' voice came:
"According to your thinking, the news this time has already been reported! But are you really going to fight that Whitebeard who is more terrifying than a monster?"
Looking at the news in the newspaper in his hand, Rob looked calm:
"Is there any problem? This matter should not affect you at all, right?"
Hearing the words, Morgans laughed and said:
"Of course it doesn't matter!"
"It's just that Mr. Rob, I have an idea - if this battle between you and Whitebeard can be broadcast live to the entire sea, it should be able to make a lot of money!"
"And it can definitely cause the sea to shake! This is definitely big news, news that shakes the world! Don't you have any interest in being the protagonist of such news that shakes the sea?"
There was a pause. Morgans spoke again:
"How about it? Are you interested in becoming a heavyweight in the world through this battle in front of the whole world, becoming the 'apex' of the sea, and becoming the leader of the new era?"
Live his fight with Whitebeard?
Rob frowned—
This proposal seems very interesting!
He never refuses the opportunity to act aggressively, nor will he give up the opportunity to act aggressively. According to what Morgans said, maybe he can really act aggressively in front of the whole world!
It doesn't make sense. Buggy, that lucky dude, was able to broadcast live at Marineford, but Rob couldn't do it when it was his turn?
This live broadcast—
Seems to work!
The corners of his mouth raised.
Rob looked at the Den Den Mushi:
"If you can do it, I don't mind if this battle is broadcasted live by you!"
Hearing the words, Morgans was instantly satisfied:
"Okay! Leave this matter to me! Don't worry, Mr. Rob, I will make you the center of the world and the leader of the new era! Hahaha... Then, let's prepare."
After hanging up the phone.
After a little anticipation in Rob's heart, he continued to read the newspaper.
He had to say—
Ever since some of his suggestions unlocked some percentage of his brain, Morgans, a birdman, had really become more and more powerful in his grasp of news and troubles!
Time flies.
Sea Circle Calendar 1512, December 25, during the last days of the decade.
On a certain piece of sea in the New World—
The Angel stopped in front of a pirate ship that was almost destroyed, and at this moment it was on the broken deck of the pirate ship.
Swish
Looking at the pirate captain in front of him, whose arm had been cut off, and whose body was like an orc, his expression was calm and composed. Rob raised Shinto in his hand, and was about to end the opponent's life.
"Wait a moment—"
The pirate captain who ate the Zoan fruit begged Rob for mercy:
"I am the subordinate of Lord Kaido, one of the three overlords of the New World. If you kill me, you will definitely anger Lord Kaido. Even if you are the 'world's number one swordsman', you will definitely die!"
"Let me go! Today's incident, I will completely ignore it, and I will not report to Lord Kaido..."
Zheng
The pirate captain hadn't finished speaking yet, when Shinto in Rob's hand brought a cold light, instantly chopping off the pirate captain's head, and decapitating him completely.
As the pirate's head rolled to the ground, his original human-beast body slowly changed back to the original headless human corpse.
Swish!
Shinto twirled like a flower, and after putting the sword back into its sheath, Rob walked leisurely towards the treasure house of this pirate ship.
As for Kaido of the Beasts coming after him?
If he doesn't come, Rob will take the initiative to find him, so why worry about his name!
Ten minutes later—
Boom!
Accompanied by Makino standing on the bow of the Angel, a huge yellow and white fire fist, this pirate ship was finally buried directly on the bottom of the sea.
Above the deck.
Rob, Robin, and Uta were counting the gains this time—treasures, supplies, these things needless to say, during the voyage, they would not lack such gains.
The most valuable harvest this time should be the one in Rob's hand at the moment, an orange Devil Fruit that looked like a persimmon with a smooth surface and a spiral pattern!
"Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Okuchi-no-Makami!"
Rob looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand and said casually:
"It seems that the pirate captain just now wasn't lying—he really did find Kaido as his backer! If there is no accident, this Devil Fruit was his offering."
This Devil Fruit...
According to the plot that Rob still remembers, it should be Kaido's daughter, who recognizes herself as his son, Yamato, who claims to be Kozuki Oden, who will eat the Devil Fruit. According to Kaido, he got it with great effort!
But now it seems that this "great effort" is worth discussing!
And now it has been intercepted by him.
Naturally, it is impossible to return to Kaido's hands.
Although he won't eat this Devil Fruit, it can be reserved for Makino, who can also eat a second Devil Fruit, or Robin to enhance their strength!
After solving the pirate ship, Makino, who came back to the deck, looked at the Dog-Dog Fruit in Rob's hand and, after hearing his introduction, had a surprised look on her face:
"Mythical Zoan? Isn't this Devil Fruit even rarer than Logia? It's the first time I've seen it! This time we've gained a lot!"
Hearing Makino's words, both Robin and Uta nodded.
Uta said crisply:
"It's also the first time we've seen a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit! I heard that Mythical Zoans are very powerful. They can not only give the user a strong physique but also special powers!"
"If Ni-chan or Nee-chan eats this Devil Fruit, not only will they have the physique that can stand up again no matter how many times they're knocked down, but they'll also have powers similar to a Logia!"
"Isn't that both handsome and powerful?"
While speaking, Robin also nodded in approval, then looked at Rob and Makino, and asked with a smile:
"Onii-chan and Makino, who will eat this Devil Fruit?"
Playing with the Dog-Dog Fruit in his hand, Rob casually said:
"I'll pass! With my physique, eating this Devil Fruit won't have any greater effect. It can only be said that it is better than nothing! Compared with me, it's better for you or Makino to eat it!"
"But it's useless to think so much now, and it will take a year to get rid of the side effects of this Devil Fruit! So let's put it away for now and think about it later!"
"And maybe we can get other Devil Fruits this year!"
Hearing this, Robin nodded approvingly:
"Exactly!"
Makino smiled and nodded in agreement. No one cared too much about the final ownership of this Devil Fruit. They didn't pursue strength for its own sake—they would eat it if they had it, and wouldn't be too concerned if they didn't.
Quickly.
Rob found a small treasure box, packed the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Okuchi-no-Makami, and put all the treasures they got into the treasure vault, and let Xiaobai keep the Devil Fruit safe!
As for giving this Devil Fruit to Yamato according to the original trajectory?
That's not happening!
Why her?
With her big chest and self-proclaimed identity as Kozuki Oden?
Although Yamato is beautiful, has Kaido's blood, is known as the Princess of Oni, and has Conqueror's Haki, she is indeed very powerful, but we don't know each other at all!
Moreover, Rob didn't have a good impression of the girl who had some serious issues and had become a bewildered star chaser.
First, Rob has always put his family first. For Yamato, Kaido's daughter, who changed her stance just because she saw Kozuki Oden's execution, he really can't agree with her!
Second, for such a person who has no soul and always thinks she is Kozuki Oden, Rob also can't understand!
To say that Kaido isn't good to Yamato, so he isn't worthy to be her father, is really unfair.
Before Yamato's rebellion, she had a good life, from the way she dressed, and from being able to stand next to Kozuki Oden at such a young age, watching the execution of Kozuki Oden.
After Yamato rebelled, it was naturally impossible not to take measures.
And if Kaido were really ruthless, even with a flexible moral bottom line like Rob, Yamato wouldn't have grown to the point where she could fight against him. If that were the case, Rob would eat his own shit!
If Yamato isn't rebellious, then she is the successor that Kaido has cultivated with all his heart.
From Kaido following Yamato's self-awareness, changing the title from daughter to son, not restricting her freedom on Onigashima, and even making her the new general of Wano Country, it's clear Kaido has always had a father-daughter relationship with Yamato.
It can only be said—
Kaido is a good hand in teaching various combat skills, but when it comes to parenting, he can be called the "good parent" in the pirate parenting world, alongside Garp.
For the girl Yamato, Rob couldn't agree or understand, so naturally he didn't have much affection.
As for Yamato's beauty?
It's a bonus, but it will definitely not be the reason why Rob has a good impression of her!
There are many beautiful characters in this sea, let alone the current emperor of Amazon Lily, the captain of the Kuja Pirates, "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock.
Rob saw her bounty...
She is really beautiful, and it can even be said to be the kind of beauty that completely hits Rob's aesthetic!
If Rob were a womanizer, Boa Hancock wouldn't just be on his boat now, but she would be crazy for him and become infatuated with him.
Isn't it just punching Celestial Dragons?
Is it hard?
Even killing a Celestial Dragon isn't out of the question!
If Rob were really a man who only thinks about his lower body, then it is impossible for him to have only two women, Robin and Makino, on his boat. He could definitely have more!
