Chapter 13 Baterilla Island
¶¶¶
"This is really Amazing!!"
The feeling of flying for the first time was simply wonderful for Rob who was able to experience thanks to his well-developed Devil Fruit.
Looking at the huge Red Continent getting closer to seeing him more and more, Rob felt in awe.
Without hesitation he started soaring more and more towards the sky, like a bird that no obstacle could block its way in the sky, Rob pierced the clouds, and finally saw the end of the Red Continent.
For a moment Rob thought he had traveled to Mars.
Everything was red and desolate on the horizon.
In the end, Rob crossed the red line and officially entered the South Sea.
Before Rob left Ohara, he had taken with him a map of the Four Seas, after all, the Great Library of Ohara had plenty of them.
He also took a magnetic compass showing south from north and east from west, so as not to get lost, after all, this compass still works well in the four seas as long as he does not enter the turbulent Grand Line.
"Well, which place would I choose now?"
In front of Rob, the scene of the blue sea stretched endlessly, this world was really big, as despite flying at a relatively fast speed it took him an entire day of non-stop flying or rest to get out from the west blue and enter the south blue.
He even started thinking about buying a fighter plane from the system shop that can break the sound barrier and practice driving it so that he can travel quickly in this world.
Just thinking that he has been away from his beloved wife for a whole day now and is still away makes him feel pain.
"Okay it's decided, I'll go to Baterilla!"
Baterilla was the home of Portgas D. Rouge, his captain's wife, well, this isn't the first time Rob has been to Baterilla.
Not the current Rob, but the former Rob, and Roger Pirates came here a lot.
Perhaps if this island didn't exist, Roger would have become a pirates king in a much shorter period of time than the original.
The deeper Rob digs into his predecessor's memories the bigger his smile becomes, but when he remembered the cruel fate of the Captain's gentle wife in the future, Rob felt a sharp pain tearing his heart out.
Rob didn't choose Baterilla Island in vain but chose it for two reasons, the first to meet his crewmates again, and the second to save Portgas D. Rouge from her miserable fate.
Rob took the map of the South Blue and the compass from his inventory and examined the map well, before choosing the appropriate route towards Baterilla Island.
Although he had been to South Blue and Baterilla Island in particular, but he wasn't the crew's navigator wouldn't have bothered to remember the way back.
Armament Haki covered his paper wings, turning completely black, and the immortal blood inside his body erupted in a berserk state before sprinting at breakneck speed in a single line, leaving a black path behind him.
If he hit someone at his current speed, only dust would remain.
...
The weather on Baterilla Island was as calm today as it has been on other days, as long as those pesky pirates didn't come to this island again, it would naturally be calm.
But the calm atmosphere that these simple residents enjoy is about to be shattered from this day forward.
A human meteor fell from the sky in a black arc without being able to stop then.
Booom!!!
On the beach of Baterilla Island, the sand was scattered and the earth was torn apart, as a man in tattered clothes came out the deep hole that had formed in the shore with a satisfied smile.
"Although I can't handle the brakes well, it's still a good way to travel long distances, well, only an immortal like me can use such a very consumptive method of haki and stamina."
Rob was laughing at the sharpness of his wits at this moment until he saw a group of villagers pointing their fingers at him with terrified expressions as they chanted the words, "A strange beast," "How can such a tallness size exist in the world . " "Why did he even fall from the sky without turning into meat paste", "I told you he was a beast but you guys don't believe me",…
Only now does Rob realize that his clothes and the last memory of his former body owner have been torn apart by the missile flight since he didn't protect them with Haki.
With lightning speed, Rob returned to the hole he came out of.
And he bought a very high-end "Gucci" clothing set from the system shop.
After confirming that he had turned into a real masterpiece, he finally came out of his hole again.
This time the villagers' expressions changed from fear to stunned.
For now, Rob looked like a model, needing only applause to complete his perfect entry scene.
...
..
As he wanders through this familiar town, Rob feels nostalgic, after all, whether he likes it or hates it, memories of his predecessor still leave their stamp on him.
But he really didn't feel any rejection towards his ancestor's memories, since coming to this world, he had considered his predecessor like his lost half who had all the qualities he didn't have in his previous life.
So above all from his predecessor with pleasure.
Within Rob's soul now coexist good and evil, shyness and courage, strength and weakness, love and hate, boredom and enthusiasm.
He have become a complete human being in this life.
Under the scorching glasses of the townspeople of Baterilla, Rob walked towards the center of town, where he would open his new art store.
Not at all interested in people looking at him, after all, those people would be his dear customers later and get used to his majestic presence.
Little did Rob know that it was his amazing and trendy clothes that attracted these people.
It was their only thought at this moment.
What a great shot! Where did this man come from? Is he really from outside of this world, as those who saw him fall from the sky say?!
