The woman in front of me is a powerful figure who appeared in the story!

The reason he could instantly recognize Karina as her real name wasn't because he sensed any nerve reflexes in her body through his Devil Fruit ability, but rather because the name Karina was so deeply ingrained in his mind!

In the movie "Gold", she was introduced as an old acquaintance of Nami. The two had once traveled at sea together and cooperated to rob pirates by deception.

Even at the end of the movie, Karina directly sailed away on the Golden King Tesoro's golden ship!

It's important to understand that even if Enel plundered all the gold in Shandora to make the Ark Maxim, it wouldn't be worth even a tenth of Tesoro's golden ship.

Regardless of the exact amount of gold on board, the ship's vault alone held 500 billion Berries in cash.

It's safe to say that the moment the main characters defeat Tesoro two years later, Karina will have already become the new richest person in the world!

A woman who can become the world's richest person by her own efforts must be one in a million in terms of intelligence, execution ability, and luck.

Regardless of whether Karina is genuinely staying by his side or just using this as a temporary measure to deceive him, as long as she remains by his side, he has the opportunity to move her and use her for his own purposes.

Even if she eventually leaves, since I know she's the future world's richest person, I should spend this time getting along well with her; it should at least create a positive connection.

The first expanded meeting of the Rothschild Group's executives concluded successfully. Robert generously divided the 1000 million Berries paid by Karina in half, giving 500 million to the Indians for safekeeping, and returning the rest to Karina in full.

“Ah San, last time I gave you the money and made it very clear that the money was yours. Now this money is the money I got back through my own abilities, so I hope you won’t lose it again. I’m only helping you this once.”

The Indian man nodded vigorously, and even Ronaldo and Ronaldinho looked solemn.

Karina smiled and said, "I'm just a weak woman, I can't carry so much money around all the time. Since I've already joined this team, I'll leave the money with the boss. Anyway, you said that if I leave someday, you'll give me a settlement allowance, right? It'll definitely be more than 500 million Berries, right?"

Robert's mouth twisted to his ears, exuding an aura no less imposing than Conqueror's Haki: "I can give five million to those who betray me, and those who will be loyal to me in the future will be worth hundreds of millions. Understand? Applause!"

The Indian man led the applause, and Karina's smile widened.

Robert found it difficult to learn the tricks of deception taught by his fifth grandfather. He felt that he was not cut out for such tricks, so he only used the books as anti-fraud textbooks.

As his mental attribute points increased, his memory also improved. He could now remember many things he had forgotten after reading them, and he could easily retell them to Karina and the others, which made her eyes light up with admiration.

Although the Heroic Chapter is only a few thousand words long, it forms the basis for all the scams and tricks that lure people into the trap. With its many dark twists and turns, Robert spent a good half a day explaining it.

Just as Karina was eagerly asking questions, the boatman on deck called out to the cabin:

"We'll be at the Navy G2 branch soon, boss. We're a civilian ship, and we were only supposed to drop you off nearby. We can't dock right there!"

Robert's spirits lifted, he gestured to the others in the cabin, and then took the lead onto the deck.

They said they were almost there, but in reality, the G2 branch was nowhere to be seen with the naked eye; the boatman had only given them a heads-up.

Their ship was already quite fast, arriving nearby in just over half a day. According to Robert's estimated time, he thought they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

As we walked further, it gradually got dark, and the brightly lit G2 branch could be seen in the distance.

The boatman was somewhat troubled: "Naval branch has implemented navigation control around the area, so our boat really can't go any further."

Robert was trying to find out the exact location of the island where he and Ace had landed so he could have the boatman take them there when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

This G2 branch doesn't look like a normal place with lights on. What kind of lights are there that make the night sky red?

"This is the G2 branch, damn it!"

"It's getting exciting!"

Why can't current sintering be considered cleaning a wound? (Chapter 19)

Robert directed the ship to dock at the small island where he and Ace had parted ways, leaving Robert on the ship just in case, and took the others ashore.

The island was only two acres in size, and the group quickly discovered that Ace was indeed no longer there.

"Sir, the person you are looking for has left?"

Robert frowned: "If he leaves, that would be simple. We've known each other for a while, and I wouldn't hesitate to lend him a hand if I could. But if helping him would be beyond my capabilities, I wouldn't force him."

With his gaze fixed on the burning Navy G2 branch in the distance, Robert sighed deeply: "What I fear most is that my friend will recklessly try to save me; that would really put me in a precarious situation."

Karina's eyes widened as she realized what she meant: "You mean your friend stormed into the G2 branch and set it on fire?"

Robert gave a wry smile: "You guys wait here for the night. I'll go check what's going on. If I'm not back by dawn, you can go back to Water Seven and wait for me."

Ah San quickly said, "Sir, since it's so dangerous, you shouldn't go. How about I go in your place? Do you think the navy would make things difficult for an ordinary person like me?"

Da Luo also stepped forward and said, "Big brother is still ill, I'll go!"

Robert waved his hand: "I'm teaching you to grow and take responsibility, not to rush forward mindlessly. Besides, what use would you be if you went? Do you even know what happened or what my friends look like?"

Karina frowned: "I just joined today, am I going to be disbanded already? That's a branch of the Navy, there's a vice admiral in charge!"

Robert stretched his body: "The lieutenant general is indeed very strong, but we just need to avoid being caught by him."

Transforming into lightning, Robert soared through the air. None of the others had ever seen Robert use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability before, and they were utterly shocked.

Karina, in particular, looked serious as she gazed toward the G2 branch, lost in thought.

The first time Robert was arrested at the G2 branch, it was largely because he had no idea he was wanted. He introduced himself while still on the patrol boat, which led to Gumir, whose combat strength far surpassed his own, personally greeting him and even ambushing him and putting him in sea stone handcuffs.

Now that he's determined to infiltrate, with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, no one really can detect him.

The fire was most severe in several places, such as the docks and shipyards where ships were moored, where fires on several ships were still not extinguished.

It was already dark when Robert easily defeated a navy man who came to the shore to fetch water, gaining 20 experience points and changing into his uniform.

He pulled down his hat brim and, under the cover of night, blended into the firefighting force.

The naval soldiers cursed as they fought the fire, "These pirates deserve to die!"

"Dick, you only dare to talk back now. How come you dodged so quickly when that great pirate was still around?"

Robert breathed a slight sigh of relief. If Ace really was the one who set the fire, it seemed that at least he hadn't been caught for coming to find him.

He lowered his voice and cursed, "What on earth is wrong with that guy?"

The one complaining the loudest, a Marine named Dick, said, "Who knows what serious illness he has? A great pirate from the New World, running wild in the first half of our Grand Line. Do you think he has some personal grudge against Vice Admiral Gomir? Why is he yelling about wanting to fight him?"

Robert splashed the water from the bucket in his hand, turned around and walked towards the sea. He filled a bucket with water but did not return to the dock. Instead, he went straight into the branch office.

There were quite a few places in the branch that were set on fire, and it was the first time Robert had directly experienced Ace's fighting power.

The base was also filled with Navy personnel putting out fires. Robert pulled down the brim of his hat and walked toward the tallest building of the G2 branch.

"Hey, which squadron are you from? What are you doing loitering around here instead of putting out the fire?"

Robert had encountered many people before, but because he was wearing a navy uniform and everyone was busy arranging firefighting, no one had time to pay attention to him.

It wasn't until he entered the branch building that his low-ranking soldier's attire and aimless wandering around instead of putting out fires suddenly became suspicious.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Robert narrowed his eyes; he did indeed recognize the person who had called out to him.

With his thin mustache and brown hair, wasn't he the lieutenant colonel who covered his mouth during the day?

However, the lieutenant colonel was not in good condition at the time. His head was wrapped in gauze, and his arm was in a sling across his chest. Judging from his standing posture, his leg should also be injured.

"Lieutenant Colonel, were you injured?"

The lieutenant colonel with the mustache seemed to have been touched on a sore spot: "Is this your business?! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Robert's fists crackled with electricity: "I've learned some rudimentary medical skills, how about I treat you?"

The lieutenant colonel with the mustache immediately noticed something was wrong. Although he was injured, he was still a powerful expert who had learned the Six Styles. With a single shave, he disappeared from the spot.

However, in such a cramped indoor environment, no matter how much you move the shaver, it will always have to stop against the wall.

The moment the mustachioed lieutenant colonel appeared, Robert had already flashed behind him, his fist, crackling with electricity, slamming into his back.

The lieutenant colonel was already injured, which is why he was arranged to rest in the branch building.

Now, Robert has ambushed him again, and he's been electrocuted so badly that his whole body is stiff.

Knowing that his current strength was insufficient to kill someone with electrocution, Robert would not have made a move if he hadn't seen that Robert was injured.

Taking advantage of his temporary inability to resist, Robert opened an empty conference room next to the corridor and quickly pulled him inside.

Although the lieutenant colonel was unable to move due to the electric shock, he still mustered all his strength to reach out his uninjured left hand to grab Robert.

Robert kept sending electricity through his hand, grabbed the outstretched arm, pinched the elbow joint and gently twisted it, dislocating the elbow.

Just as he had covered his mouth during the day to stifle his screams, Robert said fiercely:

"I'm a cook, used to slaughtering pigs and cattle. Don't worry, since it's not done with a knife, your joint can be reattached later, as long as you answer a few questions for me."

Although this naval lieutenant general looked sleazy, he was actually quite tough. The moment he released the hand covering his mouth, he shouted sharply:

"Kill me, I won't say a word!"

Robert shook his head: "You marines talk nonsense. Akainu said you can't trust pirates, but he believes everything Blackbeard says. You said you can't say a word, but you said... 12 words!"

The lieutenant colonel with the mustache stared wide-eyed: "It's you! Admiral Akainu was right, you pirates can't be trusted. First you said you knew some medical skills, then you said you were a cook! You..."

Robert pressed his fingers on his neck, lowered the voltage, and gently discharged electricity to stimulate his nerves and knock him unconscious.

"Dip your fists in iodine solution and disinfect them while you're hitting!"

Chapter 20: The Robert Pirates Announce Responsibility for the Incident

Everyone in the G2 branch was busy when suddenly someone with sharp eyes noticed that the naval flag at the very top of the branch building was on fire, shining like a beacon in the darkness.

"The branch building is on fire too! Quick, go put out the fire!"

Before the navy could react effectively, a shout that echoed throughout the branch rang out: "Gumir! Step forward and answer!"

The G2 branch erupted in an uproar: "Could it be that guy from earlier today is back again! Quickly, inform Lieutenant General Gumir!"

Gumir quickly appeared in the plaza in front of the branch building, confronting Robert across the distance: "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Navy G2 branch!"

The searchlights slammed into Robert, who burst into laughter: "It's only been half a day, how come you don't recognize me? I'm the pirate you forced to rebel this morning!"

Gumir narrowed his eyes, his hand unconsciously resting on the knife at his waist.

Robert shouted, "I advise you not to make any rash moves, or this guy won't survive."

The searchlight moved down in the direction Robert was pointing, and there was a rope under his feet, with an unconscious navy man hanging from the other end.

"Release Lieutenant Colonel Pushy immediately!"
