Chapter 252: A Fine Night on the Island of White Soil! Tatsuya and Robin's Revolutionary Army Daily Life
In the silent late night of Baltigo, the howling wind and sand outside were completely shut out by the thick stone walls.
Feeling the slightly trembling body of the beauty in his arms, Tatsuya's deep eyes were filled with an inseparable tenderness.
He extended his powerful arms, tightly embracing this woman who bore too much heavy history and suffering.
Tatsuya lowered his head, gently kissing away the warm tears at the corners of Robin's eyes, moving down her cheek, and finally tenderly kissing her soft red lips.
With a soft "click," the heavy wooden door was locked tight without a gap.
The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and the dim moonlight filtered through the window lattice, illuminating the overlapping figures on the bed.
The red waves rolled, and the spring atmosphere was enchanting.
Having experienced the narrow escape from the catastrophe at Marineford, followed by a long separation and a miraculous reunion, neither of them held anything back anymore.
They cast aside all reason, and in this private space belonging only to each other, they used the most primitive human way to confirm each other's real warmth and heartbeat.
Tatsuya's physical stamina—which could only be described as terrifying after perfectly merging with the Hashirama cells—was displayed to the fullest during this night of intimacy.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that all the clamor returned to peace.
The exhausted Robin had flushed cheeks, and her smooth forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
Like a docile and secure little kitten, she lay quietly on Tatsuya's broad and solid chest.
Finally, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, she drifted into a deep sleep.
Tatsuya leaned against the headboard, his slender fingers gently stroking Robin's waterfall-like long black hair.
He looked through the half-open window at the stars twinkling in the night sky of Baltigo.
In this turbulent and chaotic world.
Tatsuya rarely relaxed his nerves, quietly enjoying this hard-won peace.
...
The next morning, sunlight spilled into the stone house.
Waking from her deep slumber, Robin had swept away the unconcealable haggardness and fatigue of yesterday.
She looked radiant, her brows exuding a breathtakingly mature charm.
After washing up, the two officially began their daily routine at the Revolutionary Army headquarters—Baltigo.
During the day, Robin's profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom were put to their best use.
Sitting at a large desk piled with documents and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, she methodically helped the Revolutionary Army quickly decipher ancient documents that had been secretly gathered from intelligence networks all over the world.
Those obscure and difficult-to-understand poneglyph rubbings and high-level encrypted secrets of the World Government seemed to have no secrets before her eyes.
In just a few days, she became an indispensable "super brain" in the high-level meetings of the Revolutionary Army, greatly advancing their intelligence work.
In her leisure time away from the heavy intelligence deciphering, Robin did not slack off in the slightest.
She began a desperate special training toward the advanced realm of "Devil Fruit Awakening."
On the training ground, Tatsuya unreservedly served as her exclusive mentor.
Under his rigorous guidance, Robin constantly tried to push the limits of the Hana Hana no Mi.
She began to explore the deep integration of her fruit ability with the newly learned Armament Haki, attempting to develop an "Armament Haki Hand" covered in black armor with even more devastating destructive power.
During this high-intensity special training, the cadres of the Revolutionary Army...
Especially Koala, who often accompanied her in sparring, discovered a startling fact:
Robin's physical strength and endurance, which were relatively weak as a scholar, had actually seen a terrifyingly rapid growth in just this one month.
"Sister Robin, your stamina is just too amazing now! You're practically like a monster!"
Koala wiped her sweat, her face full of disbelief.
Hearing this unfeigned praise, a touching blush rose on Robin's beautiful face.
Only Robin herself, when her body was sore and she didn't even want to move a finger after their nightly intimacy, would understand with a mix of shame and annoyance:
Exactly how much weight Luffy's comment about Tatsuya being a "stamina monster" truly carried.
The sweat-drenched "physical exercises" the two performed every night on the bed...
Had invisibly become their most tacit and efficient "daily physical cultivation."
...
Meanwhile, amidst the raging yellow sands of the Island of White Soil.
Tatsuya also welcomed his most important "mentor" on this island—the supreme leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon.
This man, labeled the "World's Worst Criminal" by the World Government, always wore a dark green cloak and moved like a ghost.
Dragon's gaze was sharp and experienced.
After several sparring sessions with Tatsuya, he pointed out Tatsuya's current bottleneck with pinpoint accuracy.
"Crimson Lotus, you possess a terrifying power within you that even makes my heart skip a beat."
Dragon stood in the wind and sand, his gaze as deep as the sea.
"However, in the fine-tuned application of Haki, and the top-tier Observation Haki that perceives the breath of all things..."
"You still have quite a gap between yourself and the truly top-tier powerhouses of this New World."
"No matter how strong the power is, if it doesn't hit, or if it's easily seen through by the enemy, it's meaningless."
Under the personal guidance of this man who stood at the absolute peak of the sea, Tatsuya officially began his devilish special training.
Every day, Tatsuya would blindfold himself and seal his vision in extremely harsh environments.
Relying solely on perception, he would dodge Dragon's high-intensity attacks that were like a violent storm.
With the endless vitality of the Ashura Sage Body and the abnormal Chakra recovery of the Nine-Tailed within him as a solid foundation.
Tatsuya completely ignored the upper limit of fatigue the human body could endure during training.
As long as he wasn't beaten to death on the spot, he could recover to his original state in a very short time and jump back into battle.
Under this unreasonable, self-torturing high-pressure extraction.
Tatsuya's already profound Armament Haki began to undergo a qualitative change, becoming increasingly refined and restrained, like an indestructible layer of invisible black steel.
And his Observation Haki made leap-like progress, with the range and precision of his perception increasing day by day.
To test the practical results of this devilish training.
And also to sincerely repay Dragon's selfless teaching and the Revolutionary Army's hospitality toward him and his wife.
Tatsuya began to take the initiative, occasionally going to the Revolutionary Army's intelligence department to take on difficult tasks that even high-level cadres found troublesome, such as assassinating hostile forces and liberating slave kingdoms.
He often went out on missions with core Revolutionary Army cadres like Sabo, Koala, and the Fishman Hack.
However, no matter how heavily guarded the World Government's allied nation barriers were.
Or how fierce and brutal the pirates and underground mafia bosses with bounties over a hundred million were.
The posture Tatsuya displayed was always just one word—crushing.
There was no excessive entanglement, nor did he fall into a hard fight.
Often, the moment he drew his blade, black flames and lightning intertwined, and the mission was declared over.
This completely unreasonable dimensional reduction strike directly stunned all the accompanying Revolutionary Army soldiers.
As one daunting mission after another was easily solved by Tatsuya with this unstoppable, overbearing force.
His prestige and invisible rank within the Revolutionary Army skyrocketed like a rocket.
In the hearts of many low-level Revolutionary Army soldiers filled with fanaticism and awe.
This "Crimson Lotus" from the Straw Hat crew had already become an absolute ace of the Revolutionary Army, on par with Chief of Staff Sabo!
The lonely smoke of the desert and the brewing storm of the New World intertwined.
The giant gears of time turned rapidly during these days of monotonous yet incredibly fulfilling crazy cultivation and missions.
The scene slowly froze deep underground in Baltigo, in a huge enclosed training ground made of mixed reinforced steel.
"Phew—"
Tatsuya was bare-chested, showing off his perfectly defined muscular upper body. His chest rose and fell slightly as he slowly exhaled a mouthful of hot, turbid air.
The high-intensity special training left his body covered in crystalline sweat, beads of which slowly slid down his well-defined abdominal muscles.
Just as he adjusted his breathing and snapped his eyes open.
Deep within those crimson Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that resembled rubies, the complex black patterns seemed to be undergoing some indescribable transformation.
At the base of the red light, mysterious, ancient, and supreme ripples of divine power were faintly flowing, emitting a pressure that made the soul tremble...
Time flies, and the years pass like a shuttle.
Time quietly slipped away amidst endless sweat, rolling yellow sand, and smoke...
In the blink of an eye, it had been four months since the conclusion of the Marineford War
