Chapter 135: 135. Stussy Who Was Manipulated! Double Fruit Ability User!
The next day at noon.
After lunch, Rob used his Den Den Mushi to dial a series of numbers, and used his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to track the signal at the other end along the radio wave sent by the Den Den Mushi.
This is a small Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability that he developed, allowing him to accurately locate the person he is talking to through the Den Den Mushi's signal.
At the same time, by sacrificing the other party's Den Den Mushi, he can release a current of about 100 million volts to attack the connected party, achieving the real feat of "hitting someone along the phone line."
Being able to track the other party who answered the call can naturally prevent this call from being tapped.
When Rob used his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to track, he quickly sensed the location of the other side of the radio wave, which was also in the New World. Rob didn't know the exact location, but he could determine the direction!
Not caring about the specific location of the other party, Rob was mainly preventing someone from listening to his call at this moment.
"Moshi moshi?"
The Den Den Mushi was quickly picked up, and an elegant voice came from the opposite side. At the same time, the appearance of the Den Den Mushi on the opposite side changed, showing some iconic facial features, a pair of beautiful eyes, and red lips.
The corners of the mouth rose slightly.
Rob looked into the eyes of the Den Den Mushi in front of him:
"Good afternoon! Agent of the CP0, queen of Pleasure Street, and genius scientist Vegapunk's loyal subordinate, Ms. Stussy! Let me introduce myself, my name is Rob, I hope you've heard of me!"
As soon as Rob's voice fell, the caller on the other side, Stussy, who was also the key person Rob had found to connect with Vegapunk, suddenly became serious, her eyes flickering.
Surprised, Rob actually knew her true identity!
For a moment—
When facing Rob, Stussy felt more or less nervous and had the illusion that she was being manipulated!
Quickly.
As an agent, Stussy came back to her senses in an instant, with an elegant smile on her face:
"Hello there, 'The World's Strongest'—Rob-sama, isn't it? Your name sounds familiar! If you're calling at this time, is there any specific information you'd like to acquire? I'd be happy to share some intriguing details with you, free of charge!"
"You can take it as me making a friend!"
She didn't deny what Rob said about her identity, because Stussy knew very well that since Rob said it, he had confirmed it.
Denial is useless!
Of course, Stussy didn't just admit it foolishly.
"You're welcome!"
After Rob casually said something, he didn't even think about talking to Stussy. He went straight to the point:
"Ms. Stussy, I won't waste time with small talk! This time I'm calling you for one thing—I want to contact Dr. Vegapunk and learn the power of science from him for a while!"
"Of course, this study is not free. The condition I propose is—I will do three things for him personally without causing trouble, and I'll do them to the best of my ability. Or, I will save Dr. Vegapunk's life once!"
"Don't refuse, because you can't refuse! And I believe that Dr. Vegapunk, a smart man, will see the value in this offer! After all, I am 'The Strongest'!"
"Ms. Stussy, what do you think?"
Hearing Rob's words, Stussy was silent for a while, not knowing how to respond.
Good grief—
Straight to the point, and with such a generous offer. Her thoughts weren't important at all. In this matter, she was merely the messenger.
At the end, this guy actually had the nerve to ask her opinion? Did she have the power to choose?
Simply ridiculous!
After the corner of her mouth twitched, Stussy said:
"Rob-sama doesn't seem to give my opinion much weight, does he? Please wait for my call! I will pass this matter on to Dr. Vegapunk! But please don't use such means to contact me in the future!"
"Ordinary Den Den Mushi can easily be monitored!"
Hearing this, Rob's eyes flashed:
"Don't worry about this, I am a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user. Using the power of thunder and lightning, we can shield our conversation from being monitored by anyone, it's just a matter of moving my fingers!"
There was a pause. Rob said again:
"Then half a month later, I will call Ms. Stussy again, and I hope you can give me an answer then! So, farewell, Ms. Stussy! By the way, you are much more beautiful than the old woman you were cloned after."
After speaking, Rob hung up the call and withdrew his ability.
Looking at the phone that was hung up in her hand, Stussy's eyes were shining brightly:
"Are all my secrets... all known by this Rob? Is he telling me that he knows me very well? Tsk... What an unpredictable existence."
And it's very tricky!
Because Rob, a young man, is not only terrifying in strength but also calm, prudent, and quite remarkable for his age.
Of course.
Or maybe Rob's depth of character is not as profound as she imagined.
But strength is a good thing!
With Rob's strength—
No one can ignore what he has to say!
Rubbing her brows with a headache, Stussy's face became serious.
This one thing about Rob—
She really needs to tell Vegapunk. As for the decision, it's not something she considers.
On the deck of the Angel.
Rob hung up the phone, then looked at Robin, Uta, and Makino who were beside him and made an OK gesture.
He smiled and said:
"It's done! With Stussy as a bridge, Vegapunk will get in touch with us, and he should have no way to refuse the conditions we offer! Even if he rejects them, it doesn't matter!"
"After that, we can sneak into the research institute where Vegapunk is located, and we should be able to get what we want from him!"
"Not to mention Seraphim's manufacturing technology, for the artificial Devil Fruit manufacturing technology, I know another place where we can get its imperfect version, it just takes time to perfect it!"
Hearing Rob's words, all three nodded, indicating that they understood.
Robin's eyes were full of inquiry:
"There is still half a month to go, should we go somewhere to prepare? After all, if the other party agrees, we might be there for more than half a year, or even more than a year. We won't just be walking on the sea, right?"
Rob nodded.
"No need to prepare anything! In the next half month, just play around on the nearby islands! By the way—in a few days, I will be able to remove the side effects of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi-no-Makami."
"Robin, Makino, which one of you is going to eat this Devil Fruit? Don't worry! You can both get the ability of a second Devil Fruit later, no need to be modest!"
Hearing Rob's words, Robin folded her arms with a smile on her face.
She looked at Makino:
"Makino, you should eat it!"
"Your physique is weaker than mine, and after you eat the Dog-Dog Fruit, you can master the power of cold air. When you have the Mera-Mera Fruit ability in one hand and cold air in the other, your strength will definitely be raised to a very high level."
After a short pause, Robin blinked at Makino and said meaningfully:
"And when your physique improves, your physical strength will improve and you last even longer!"
Hearing this sentence from Robin, Makino was taken aback for a moment, then watched Robin wink at her, quickly realizing what Robin's implication was.
For a split second, Makino blushed.
"Robin!!"
After a coquettish cry, Makino rushed directly at Robin, and then the two beauties started frolicking on the lawn on the deck.
Aside, Uta, who didn't know and understand many things, showed a puzzled expression. Turning to look at Rob, she asked:
"Ni-chan, what did Onee-chan mean just now? Why can't Uta understand?"
After hearing Uta's words, an awkward smile appeared on Rob's face, and he rubbed Uta's little head.
"You are still young! You will understand when you grow up. For now, you don't need to understand so much!"
Hearing the words, Uta tilted her head:
"Is that so? I see."
Uta's question was really too difficult for him. As an older brother, could he tell his younger sister that her sister-in-law is physically weak, so when they were making children, she couldn't stand it?
What is this? How could he explain it?
There is no way to explain that to her!
Mainly because Rob and the others protected Uta too well. Some knowledge about gender, Uta really doesn't know a lot, and she is not as mature as other children!
Five days later.
After Rob once again used the fifth talent—the extreme sublimation—to remove the side effects of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi-no-Makami, and strengthened it by the way, Makino ate it.
Not only did it directly raise Makino's physical fitness to a higher level, but it also allowed her to master the power of ice that is not weaker than the Mera-Mera Fruit.
Makino had directly become a dual-fruit ability user who mastered two extreme powers.
With the two abilities, plus the blessing of a strong physique, it was really hard to say how strong Makino was now, but she should not be weak in the "monster" level of combat power.
Watching Makino test the power of the cold, Rob touched Shinto on his waist:
"Sorry! Buddies—next time!"
