Robin did not stay on the beach of Kaju Town to watch the rest of Jin and Koala's 'performance'.
Anyway, once she saw Jin start sucking downwards, she fled as if running for her life.
However, when she returned to Whole Cake Island, the venue for the banquet, and saw Nami getting along happily with Rin and Kurenai, Robin's feelings became even more complicated.
How to describe it?
It was like the feeling of a middle-aged man whose younger brother has gone astray, seeing his beautiful wife and daughter sitting with a blonde guy in between them.
During the final two days of the banquet, [Big News] Morgans personally came to visit.
"Kwahahaha~ Nice to meet you, God of Destruction-san. As I expected, every time you make a move, you inevitably stir up a storm of blood and rain!"
Morgans, whose personality thrived on chaos, proactively reached out and shook Jin's hand.
"I don't really like that title... but I'll trouble you to write a thrilling report this time."
Jin smiled, looking exactly like the villain from some third-rate urban novel.
"Of course, of course, hehe. I'll definitely give the whole world a big surprise."
Morgans responded with a wink and a nudge.
They were both troublemakers who enjoyed stirring the pot.
Often, no lengthy explanation was needed.
A single glance was enough to understand each other's meaning.
…
In the original work, during the battle where the Straw Hat Pirates allied with the Wano Country's samurai group vs the Beast Pirates + Big Mom Pirates, the World Government dispatched CP0 to conduct real-time monitoring.
Although it was pretty much useless, they at least obtained intel about Nika's awakening at the first opportunity.
However, for this major battle, the World Government did not send anyone to monitor.
It wasn't that the World Government didn't want to, but because they had been focusing their attention on another force during this time-
the Revolutionary Army.
After all, Dragon had just died.
Even if the Revolutionary Army wouldn't collapse instantly like the Whitebeard Pirates after losing Whitebeard, they were definitely considered severely weakened.
So this was the perfect time to strike against them.
The Five Elders originally thought that by acting now, even if they couldn't wipe out the Revolutionary Army in one go, they should at least be able to cripple them so badly that they wouldn't be able to build up a force capable of rivaling the World Government for twenty years.
This strategy wasn't inherently flawed.
But not even the Five Elders, and probably even Imu, could have imagined that the Revolutionary Army's strength far exceeded their expectations.
The elite troops dispatched, composed of Admirals and high-ranking agents from the CP…
But not only failed to achieve victory, they were instead beaten back, suffering defeat after defeat by the Revolutionary Army.
The reason lay with... two former Marine Admirals who had newly joined the Revolutionary Army!
[Aokiji] Kuzan and [Black Arm] Zephyr!
"What have the Marines been doing all these years? Allocating them so much funds! Was it just to cultivate opponents for our World Government?!"
Nasjuro, who wielded a tachi, scowled, his brows twisted together as he cursed angrily.
They initially thought that with Dragon dead, even if the Revolutionary Army didn't collapse completely, their combat power should at least be significantly reduced.
But now it seemed...
'Damn, it feels like it would have been better if Monkey D. Dragon were still alive.'
"Are Fujitora and the others enough? Should we send Kizaru or maybe Momousagi and Chaton too?"
Nasjuro asked for the opinions of the other four.
Currently, the World Government had dispatched a force led by Fujitora, plus several elite CP0 agents and a number of Marine Vice Admirals to attack Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters in the Grand Line.
However, they had been unable to capture it despite a prolonged assault.
Dealing with Kuzan was difficult enough already.
And while Zephyr was old, even an Admiral would find it hard to defeat him quickly.
Purupuru purupuru~
The Den Den Mushi in the room suddenly rang.
Ju Peter picked up the receiver on the shell, impatiently saying:
"Who is it? We are in a meeting!"
It's as if these five people all eat the Meeting-Meeting Fruit.
Aside from holding meetings and striking poses in the office all day long, it seems they don't know how to do anything else.
"I request the esteemed Five Elders immediately order our retreat."
Fujitora's low voice came from the Den Den Mushi's mouth:
"Reinforcements have arrived for the Revolutionary Army. It's the former Warlord of the Sea, [Knight of the Sea] Jinbei."
Hearing this, the Five Elders were all greatly shocked.
'Th-this efficiency of the Revolutionary Army is too high, isn't it?'
'Not even a full month has passed since Kuzan and Zephyr joined one after the other-'
'And now Jinbei is here too?'
'Damn, it feels like the current Revolutionary Army's strength is even greater than before Monkey D. Dragon died!'
If it weren't for Sabo being a bit green, they could practically rival an Emperor crew!
"Wait! Didn't Jinbe join the Big Mom Pirates after the Summit War ended? Has the battle over there already concluded?"
Warcury remembered something, his expression changing sharply as he questioned.
Well, not only had it concluded, the banquet was almost finished.
This really shows how slow the Five Elders' reactions are, just like those people above.
The same thing happened in the original work with Luffy awakening his Nika Fruit.
The child is almost starved to death before they come with milk.
They only remember to wipe their nose after the snot reaches their mouth.
They start panicking only after Luffy awakened the fruit, so what were they doing earlier?
Tap, tap, tap~
Footsteps sounded from outside the door.
A female secretary in a white office lady outfit, wearing frameless glasses, entered the room and handed a newspaper to the Five Elders.
It was Kalifa, the sole survivor of Lucci's team.
"Sirs, today's World Economic News Paper. It's being distributed for free."
Hearing the words 'distributed for free', the five men's expressions froze.
It felt like in the past six months, 'distributed for free' had become Jin's exclusive calling card.
Every time he caused a big incident that made headlines, it was something major enough to change the world's pattern.
[The New Emperors Era Arrives? No! The Other Three Emperors Can No Longer Be Mentioned in the Same Breath as This Man, He is an Overlord! One Overlord, Three Emperors - This is the Portrait of the Era to Come]
The report detailed three major events-
Big Mom was killed by Jin.
Soru Soru no Mi was taken by a young girl under Jin's command.
The Big Mom Pirates became a subsidiary of the Uchiha Pirates.
As for the Fish-Man Tribe and Kuja Tribe moving en masse to Totto Land, and Oven's ability being transferred to Vasco-
these events, which would normally definitely claim headline space, were overshadowed by the heat of the three news items above.
Morgans mentioned them only in passing in a corner.
"That bastard Uchiha Jin! If he's going to kill, why didn't he kill them all!?"
Saturn cursed loudly.
The fact that Jin took Big Mom's place was within their acceptable range.
But the Charlotte Family only lost Charlotte Linlin herself, and one mediocre Oven, was hard for them to accept.
'Damn it, since you're going to kill, why didn't you kill a few more?'
"...Prepare to issue new bounty posters. Not just for Uchiha Jin, but also for these dangerous individuals under his command."
After a brief contemplation, Mars decided immediately.
Seeing the picture of Rin on the second page, with a thundercloud and a fire cloud floating on either side of her head, they seemed to see that little monster from sixty years ago, who received a 50 million Berry bounty on her first wanted poster.
…
[Most Evil Rookie in History] Uchiha Jin, Bounty: 5,000,000,000 Berry
[Rap-Loving Octopus] Gyuki, Bounty: 1,520,000,000 Berry
[Mermaid Princess] Shirahoshi, Bounty: 1,080,000,000 Berry
…
[Paper Angel] Konan, Bounty: 400,000,000 Berry
[Storm Woman] Yuhi Kurenai, Bounty: 66,000,000 Berry
[Successor of the Evil God] Nohara Rin, Bounty: 44,000,000 Berry
…
Because of her childhood experiences, Big Mom was called the [Evil God] by the Giant Tribe.
Giving the little girl this epithet shows the World Government is quite particular too.
Meanwhile, on Rusukaina Island, in the Paradise half of the Grand Line-
Rayleigh, sitting by the shore, fixed his gaze intently on the last two bounty posters-
[Cat Burglar] Nami, Bounty: 386,000,000 Berry
[Devil Child] Nico Robin, Bounty: 100,000,000 Berry
Well, although they didn't participate in the Totto Land war, the World Government still symbolically increased the bounties of the two women by 20 million Berry each, just to acknowledge their existence.
But what made Rayleigh even more uneasy was that the report categorized both women as members of the Uchiha Pirates.
"Rayleigh! Today's the day to meet up with my crew, right? Let's go quickly! I'm so excited!"
At that moment, Luffy emerged from the forest behind, his hands raised high as he laughed heartily towards Rayleigh.
"Heh... okay, okay, let's go then."
Rayleigh forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"By the way, didn't Hancock and the others come? I wanted to thank them for providing this place."
Luffy looked around, somewhat puzzled.
The smile on Rayleigh's face became even more bitter.
'Sigh, Hancock is probably currently flipping up and down underneath that Uchiha Jin right now.'
'But compared to Hancock, these two crewmates will probably be a bigger blow to Luffy, right?'
…
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
On Kamabakka Queerdom, Sanji, who was preparing to leave this hellhole that had tormented him for two whole years, finally saw a newspaper after two years and immediately exploded.
"Although it's hard to believe, this is the truth."
Ivankov stood behind Sanji, saying solemnly:
"During the time you were training, the world's pattern underwent earth-shaking changes. The main character is this man who appeared out of nowhere, Uchiha Jin."
Sanji didn't say much more, leaping up ready to board the ship.
He had no time to chatter with Ivankov.
'I needed to rescue Nami-san and Robin-chan.'
'They must be waiting for me to save them!'
"Sanji! Promise me one thing before you go."
However, the moment Sanji jumped up, Ivankov grabbed his shoulder and forcefully pressed him back down.
"Do not go looking for Jin!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HE'S THE ONE WHO CAPTURED NAMI-SAN AND ROBIN-CHAN!"
Sanji roared angrily.
"I know that, of course! I want to settle the score with him too! Dragon died by his hand!"
Ivankov placed both hands on Sanji's shoulders, shouting back and spraying saliva onto his face.
"But it's just not possible! Do you have any idea how strong that man is? Now, even the Big Mom Pirates have become his subordinates!"
"Do you think just two years of training will allow you to compare to a monster like that? Do you know how many strong people have died by his hand in these past six months!?"
And a similar scene was unfolding on Kuraigana Island in the Paradise.
"Roronoa, do not go looking for that man, understand?"
Mihawk, with his arms crossed over his chest, gave his final instruction to the green-haired swordsman who was preparing to depart.
