Chapter 169: 169. Paradise Islands! Twelve Blazing Angels! Huge Surprise!
With the powerful firepower of the Angel, hundreds of T1 Terminators, two unique Seraphim, and Robin herself, they were a formidable force!
In addition, Uta was not weak anymore.
So--
Half a month after Robin and Uta left, they returned to Paradise Island with the supplies of six large sailboats.
Inside the villa.
Rob personally cooked a big meal, and the four of them held a small banquet every day!
"Did the voyage go well this time?"
At the dining table, Rob turned his eyes to Robin and asked:
"Did you encounter any danger?"
Robin smiled and said:
"There was no danger. When I went, everything went smoothly! But on the way back, we were attacked by several pirate groups and a Marine fleet led by a Marine Vice Admiral!"
"But they were all handled by the Seraphim! I didn't even have to intervene, and the attacking pirate group and Marine fleet were completely wiped out!"
Hearing that a group of pirates attacked the Angel, Rob looked surprised:
"Pirates? In the current New World, there are still pirates who dare to attack us? Are they from the Beasts Pirates?"
Robin shook her head calmly:
"No! They seemed to be from Beehive Island, not under the command of the Four Emperors!"
Rob's eyes narrowed in surprise:
"Beehive Island... Wasn't that the base camp of the Rocks Pirates before? And it's the Pirate Paradise of the New World! If I remember correctly, Beehive Island is now ruled by the Ochoku Pirates?"
"I'll take note of this matter! After we build Paradise Island, we will train more Seraphim and T1-type Terminator Legions. Before dealing with the Four Emperors, we'll take care of Beehive Island first!"
"We'll test the strength of my artificial weapons on the remnants of the Rocks Pirates!"
Hearing what Rob said, Robin, Uta, and Makino nodded seriously in agreement.
While eating, Rob smiled and said:
"Now that all the necessary supplies to build the base have been delivered, starting tomorrow, I will use all the artificial humans I have created to start transforming Paradise Island!"
"I'll leave the task of making the artificial Devil Fruit from the Whitebeard Pirates and the business contacts for the artificial Devil Fruit to you."
Both Robin and Makino nodded and responded:
"Leave it to us, Oni-chan (Rob-kun)!"
As for Uta—
This little girl doesn't have any job. The most important thing for her now is to develop her Sing-Sing Fruit to an awakened state. Apart from that, there is no other task for her.
After discussing the transformation of Paradise Island and the artificial Devil Fruit, the banquet officially began.
When everyone started to get busy, time passed quickly.
A month.
Two months.
Five months.
Seven months.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year passed.
In nearly a year, the fifth talent, the ultimate sublimation, was restored again. Rob gave the artificial Float-Float Fruit that he made at the beginning, after the extreme sublimation, to Makino who wanted to eat it!
So far—
In addition to Rob, Makino became the second user with the abilities of three Devil Fruits in the sea.
Not to mention the level of strength, but at least the ability to fly and the ability to easily float an island were enough to make Makino's mobility and strategy reach a peak!
Although he wanted to use it on his sword.
But after he got busy, his sword, which had been transformed to a black blade, was stored in his wrist's fruit space and hadn't been taken out for almost a year.
Then there is the change of Paradise Island—
A new research institute with equipment and facilities was built, and Rob started producing the T1 model Terminator Legion, T2 model Builders Legion, T3 model... and so on, special artificial humans for various purposes.
Besides—
It can be called a T0 model, but Rob prefers to call it Seraphim, and the training of artificial humans has also begun.
Only—
The initial design goal of Seraphim androids is to target the combat effectiveness of the Admiral level, and each one is unique and special, so the investment is quite large!
With Rob's financial resources and the resources he obtained within a year, except for the two Seraphim that were successfully produced at the beginning—Aquarius and Pisces—Rob now cultivated ten more Seraphim.
He used the twelve constellations to name the twelve Seraphim cultivated!
At the same time, the location of Paradise Island is not just as simple as this island.
Makino, who ate the Float-Float Fruit, moved twelve uninhabited islands and placed these twelve islands around Paradise Island, guarding the original and most central Paradise Island.
The twelve Seraphim were arranged on the twelve islands that were moved here. Rob also equipped each Seraphim with various types of artificial weapons and tools.
He directly raised the defensive power of the base to a very high level.
Every Seraphim—
Even now, due to various reasons, they still do not have the combat effectiveness of the Admiral level, but there is no doubt that all of them are at a "monster" level of combat effectiveness.
Twelve "monster" level fighters, plus a large number of T-series artificial weapons and tool men with certain combat abilities, make defending his Paradise Island no problem!
Now this sea—
It should not be called the Paradise Island Sea, but the Paradise Archipelago, or simply the Paradise Sea Area!
…
Sea Circle Calendar—
1517, July Fourteenth.
In the central castle of Paradise Island, above the tallest spire, there is a flag proposed by Robin, supported by Uta and Makino, and produced. The pattern is a twelve-winged angel, a pure white and flawless flag.
A flag dedicated to Rob—
Angel Wings!
Standing at the heights of the castle, Rob overlooks Paradise Island, which has various areas such as research institutes, living areas, entertainment zones, etc., while still retaining most of the original ecological environment. He is still dressed in his beach style.
Touching his chin, looking at the huge Angel Island and the twelve constellation islands connected by pontoon bridges, Rob falls silent:
"The original idea was to sail freely in the sea, to pursue strength by the way, and to unravel the historical truth of the 'Void Century', and now it is what it is."
"At first, I just wanted a small stronghold and base! How did I accidentally build my 'small' base to the huge scale it is today?"
Given the scale of combat power he has now, even if he says he has no ambitions, no one will believe it, right?
Not to mention—
Over the past year, Rob's influence in the underground world has skyrocketed!
During the time when he was concentrating on building the Paradise Island base and leaving all other things to Robin, Uta, and Makino to handle, the three of them can be said to have let themselves go.
First up is Makino—
She moved the Twelve Constellation Islands and only told Rob after they were moved. At that time, Rob didn't care about it, so he let her continue, and the Twelve Constellation Islands became a defensive fortress.
Recently, Rob occasionally heard from Makino that she seems to have the idea of moving more islands around the Paradise Islands to form a country similar to Totto Land!
After all, there are only four of them on the current Paradise Islands who can be considered real human beings, and the twelve Seraphim can be regarded as half-human, so their population is really weak, to be honest.
So Makino intends to really create a brand new country!
Next is Robin.
She handles a lot of work in the underground world with ease and seems to be particularly talented in this aspect, not only trading with the underground giants but also forming a new group of Rob's own power!
In just one year, relying on their own strong strength, outstanding ability, and Rob's absolute delegation of power to her, Robin has become the representative figure of the four of them in the underground world.
Alias—
Queen of Darkness!
And finally, Uta.
This little girl, while working hard to develop the Sing-Sing Fruit, is still singing to the world through the Den Den Mushi, and using her fame, she is constantly promoting the Paradise Islands!
The reputation of the Paradise Islands has spread far and wide, and many people who are dissatisfied with their lives look forward to living on the Paradise Islands and becoming its residents.
At this very moment—
After Rob finally completed all his plans for the construction of the base, he took a good look at the situation over the past year and was shocked.
Robin, Uta, and Makino, especially the two older ones, had given Rob a serious surprise, or rather, frightened him.
"As it stands now—"
Observation Haki surveyed the entire Paradise Islands.
The corner of Rob's mouth twitched:
"If we don't take advantage of this trend to build a country, wouldn't it be too much to ignore the efforts of the three of them?"
Snap—
While speaking, Rob covered his face with one hand.
Thought—
It turns out that my protection of them still limits their talents!
