Robert smiled and said, "Take me there, and I'll treat you to one of their snacks. I guarantee you'll get to eat it."

Bonnie led the way with some skepticism, while Karina nudged Robert and whispered, "Your business is so high-end, that taco sounds like a very exquisite delicacy, doesn't it?"

Robert whispered, "How can we get suckers to line up if we don't give it a name that's a bit intimidating? In my hometown, that thing has a simple and easy-to-remember name: Jianbing Guozi (煎饼果子)."

Upon seeing Bonnie, Robert's mind immediately came to life. The story only stated that the Supernovas 11 landed on Sabaody Archipelago at the same time, but it didn't say that it was on the same day.

It could even be said that the vast majority of people arrived here long before Luffy and his crew, and needed to rely on the island's unique coating technology to add bubbles to their ships so that they could dive into the deep sea and take the route from Fish-Man Island to enter the New World.

Just as Robert was pondering which people he could recruit as cannon fodder for his plan, a gunshot rang out suddenly. Almost instinctively, Robert tilted his neck and dodged the bullet aimed at his head.

"Because I can transform into an element, does that mean I can't complete the Observation Haki mission objective by dodging attacks that wouldn't normally harm me?"

Seven or eight pirate hunters armed with weapons rushed out from both sides of the road, shouting at Robert, "We've got your head, worth 4 million! You paid a hefty price for injuring a Marine Admiral, didn't you? Are your legs completely broken?"

Robert gave a wry smile: "I really don't want to kill you guys, since there's a high chance I won't get any experience points. By the way, does any of you have a net worth of over 500 million Berries?"

None of them spoke; they simply drew their swords and continued to approach.

"Looks like there aren't any left. How boring. Let's go and ignore them."

Bonnie, who had been looking forward to a good show, stopped in her tracks, only to be greatly disappointed when she realized that Robert seemed to have no intention of making a move at all.

When she first landed on Sabaody Archipelago, she also went through many battles, and it wasn't until she proved her strength that no one bothered her anymore.

Suddenly Bonney seemed to realize something. The pirate hunters around her, who had been shouting and yelling about killing Robert to claim the reward, didn't react at all after hearing such insulting words, which was very unusual in itself.

Looking up, the enemies who had been so menacing just moments before were now strangely standing still.

Only after Robert's small wheelchair was pushed out of their encirclement did the attackers fall to the ground like dominoes, one by one, unaware that they had stopped breathing!

Bonnie looked at Robert in astonishment. She wasn't afraid that Robert would use swift and decisive methods to kill these guys, but the fact that she didn't even know when he made his move or what methods he used was terrifying!

Robert maintained a calm smile on his face, but inside he was incredibly excited.

While it's true that using a combination of super-high voltage and massive current like Enel is undeniably cool and stylish, one can't always be so childish as to shout out cool skill names and then use a cannon to kill a mosquito.

In situations like this, dealing with an enemy that doesn't require a major offensive would actually be less impressive with a show of force.

So after acquiring the skill "Mastery of Precision", he began to develop high-level attack methods that were time-saving and labor-saving.

The attack against the pirate hunter just now was actually a hidden move that didn't create a visible lightning path, but instead used the electrical charge around the enemy and even the enemy himself to concentrate the attack on the heart.

The Devil Fruit ability can draw upon free-floating elements in nature, but it will encounter great resistance when the electrons in the enemy's body try to manipulate them, though it just requires more effort.

Robert tested his skills, and these mediocre pirate hunters didn't even put up a decent resistance before suffering cardiac arrest due to excessive electric shocks.

This tactic not only enhances one's sophistication by creating panic by leaving everyone confused, but it also conserves one's own battery power.

Compared to its current recovery speed, it's practically nonexistent.

Bonnie swallowed hard. "Um, I suddenly remembered something else. You don't need to treat me to dinner. I'll be going now."

Robert laughed and said, "Miss Bonnie, there's no need to be so afraid of me. They attacked me first, so I was forced to retaliate. I'm still very friendly to my friends."

Bonnie gave an awkward smile: "I really do have something to do. If you want to find someone to fight, I can recommend a few other people to you."

Robert looked very interested: "Oh? Can I hear who's in it?"

Bonney narrowed her eyes: "The four great pirates hailed as this year's Supernovas!"

Robert: You've managed to make those four little devils look like the Four Emperors!

Chapter 39 Doctor, take a look at my leg

Bonney counted on her fingers and said, "Only pirates who can cross the first half of the Grand Line and reach the Sabaody Archipelago have the initial qualifications to compete for the title of King of the Sea, and pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million located in the Sabaody Archipelago are called Supernovas!"

She said with a proud look, "There are five supernovas who have come here this year, including me. No, now that you're here too, there are six of us in this year's class."

Bonney walked forward while introducing the others: "Before you came, the highest bounty was Kid, the captain of the Kid Pirates, with a bounty of 315 million; next was Law of the Heart Pirates, with a bounty of 200 million; then came Apoo with a bounty of 198 million and Kid's first mate Killer, with a bounty of 162 million. So my guy, who's only worth 140 million, is really not good enough. Shall I introduce them to you?"

Robert's eyes gleamed. Apart from Apoo, who was rebellious and not of interest to him, Robert and Kidd were indeed his targets for getting to know each other.

"Okay, I'm quite interested in Law and Kidd, so I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to them."

Bonnie's eyes flickered: "Then you wait here for me, okay? I'll go and get the person for you."

Robert glanced at the food street not far ahead, then turned to Karina and whispered, "Karina, go find Rory and the others and tell them not to reveal their relationship with me. After all, I'm now a top wanted person by the Navy, and I need to cut ties with their kind of business. Tell them not to think about saving money and to transform their food stalls into shops as soon as possible."

Karina frowned and said, "What will you do if I leave?"

Robert laughed and said, "Hey, hey, hey, I just injured my leg, I'm not incapacitated, so don't worry about it. We'll keep in touch via Den Den Mushi."

Karina left with a frown, and Robert turned back and called to Bonnie, who had already secretly run far away.

“Miss Bonnie, the people I hired have other things to do, so could you please take me to meet those friends?”

Bonnie swallowed hard and stopped in her tracks. Although Robert was in a wheelchair, who could guarantee that he was really seriously injured?

Forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, Bonnie walked back and pushed Robert's wheelchair forward.

While others may not know Bonney's background, Robert knows everything. She's still a little girl of about ten years old, but she's used the power of a Devil Fruit to transform herself into a busty mature woman.

"Miss Bonnie, you don't need to push me, I can do it myself."

The more polite Robert was, the more afraid Bonnie became, always feeling that this ruthless killer was plotting something big.

They walked all the way from Tree Island No. 24 to Tree Island No. 18, and it was already dark. Robert was getting a little impatient.

“Miss Bonnie, if you don’t know them, just say so. I have other things to do.”

Bonnie had already visited seven or eight restaurants, and now Robert was being pushed in his wheelchair by her own men.

"Oh well, they're not without legs, they're just wandering around. But it's okay, my men have already located Luo's whereabouts, he's at the tavern up ahead."

As they walked forward, Robert suddenly turned his head to look at the rooftop on his left.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

A man wearing a round hat with a cow print and carrying an extra-long katana on his shoulder is sitting leisurely on the roof.

“Trafalgar Law, the surgeon of death, I came here for treatment because of his reputation.”

Luo pushed up the brim of his hat and suddenly pointed his finger in Robert's direction.

Without the slightest hesitation, Robert instantly vanished into his elemental form. The pirate pushing the wheelchair behind him was suddenly cut in two at the waist.

"The Room is colorless and formless? I thought I would sense something when I entered your surgical space. So, do I have to defeat you first before I can apply for treatment?"

Robert's voice came from behind Luo. Luo's expression remained unchanged, and his body instantly became ethereal, appearing on another rooftop 50 meters away.

"Room is indeed a very useful Devil Fruit ability. I'm even a little tempted, but I'm disabled right now. What do you say, let's call it a day?"

Robert remained close by, his sword flashing out of its sheath in an instant, slashing fiercely around him in a 360° arc.

The moment he drew his sword, Robert felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively teleported, pressing down on the top of Robert's head with one hand while in a handstand position.

[Dodged successfully using intuition 2/10]

Within the room created by the Op-Op Fruit, Law can inflict damage on Logia-type Devil Fruit users even without using Armament Haki.

Robert narrowed his eyes. This seemingly smiling pirate was no saint. Aside from showing Luffy his passionate love, he was ruthless towards everyone else.

This time, his dodge was actually judged to have increased the number of times his Observation Haki had been awakened. In other words, if he hadn't dodged, that slash could have really caused fatal damage to him, or caused terrible consequences.

A massive electric current was released from his palm, passed through Luo's body, and finally surged into the earth.

Law used his Devil Fruit power to disappear from the spot, but when he reappeared, he was convulsing and could not even stand up.

Robert did not continue the pursuit to kill them all, but instead moved back to his small wheelchair.

"We don't have any real grudge against each other, so why are you shouting and threatening to kill me the moment we meet?"

Luo patted himself a few times with trembling hands, and his injuries inexplicably eased a lot. Then, his gaze toward Luo Ba became serious.

"You're the fastest rising supernova this year, with the highest bounty. You kidnapped Bonnie, one of the supernovas, as soon as you arrived on the island, and then forced her people to find other supernovas. You don't seem like you came here to make friends, do you?"

Robert gave a wry smile: "I already told you, I came here for medical treatment. You can see how badly my leg is injured, okay? Do you think fighting a Marine Admiral doesn't come without paying a price?"

Luo squinted: "You dare let me perform surgery on you? Aren't you afraid I'll take the opportunity to kill you?"

Robert said nonchalantly, "What good would that do you? First, you can't use my head to exchange for a bounty. Second, pretending to help me heal my wounds but then killing me with underhanded means won't bring you any fame. It's a losing proposition no matter how you look at it."

Luo asked with a cold smile, "What's the benefit of healing you? You're currently a wanted fugitive by the Navy. Helping you would just be asking for trouble."

Robert burst into laughter: "You, a pirate with a bounty of 200 million, are afraid of the Navy causing you trouble? Don't be ridiculous, do you want to be recruited by the Navy?"

Robert paused for a moment halfway through his sentence, realizing that he was indeed going to be recruited by the Navy and become a Shichibukai in the near future.

He quickly chuckled and said, "Let's look at it another way. If you choose to help me heal, you'll gain my friendship. On this vast ocean, who can guarantee they'll never need help someday? My friendship might just become your lifeline then. How about it, want to take a gamble?"

Luo slowly sheathed his sword: "This is the first time I've seen someone's bones shatter so thoroughly. If it weren't for the skill of the doctor who set your bones, you wouldn't be in a wheelchair. But is this really an injury caused by Aokiji? It looks more like it was caused by Garp!"

Robert smiled proudly: "To be precise, I typed it myself!"

Chapter 40 Little Brother, I Will Be Your Nightmare for Life

[Level 11 (4400/102400)]

Robert glanced at his experience points. He hadn't gained any experience from killing the ghosts who came to scout ahead at sea or from taking down a few pirate hunters who were trying to ambush him.

At this moment, Robert had only exchanged blows with Luo, yet he had gained 600 experience points in one go, which made Robert quite satisfied.

"You don't seem to take good care of your body. If this continues, your injuries will be difficult to heal."

Robert laughed heartily: "You weren't this presumptuous before. Now that we know you're on the island, even if your bones are shattered to dust, you'll surely be able to set them back together, right?"

Luo pursed his lips: "I do admire you a little. This kind of pain is not something an ordinary person can endure."

Robert chuckled and said, "I was so afraid of pain that I used my Devil Fruit power to sever all the nerve signals below my legs."

Luo pointed to the room next door: "Come in with me."

Bonnie asked cautiously, "Can we go now?"

Robert gave her a deep look: "Of course, Miss Bonnie, thank you so much for helping me find the doctor. I owe you a favor. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."

Bonnie only breathed a sigh of relief after Robert's figure had completely disappeared from the room: "We're all from the same class, how come they're all so strong, like monsters? I didn't even see what they were fighting..."

A member of Bonney's Pirates cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Captain, what are we going to do now?"

Bonnie pumped her fist: "To make a guy like this owe me a favor, isn't it worth a good meal?"

As Luo entered the house, the once bustling tavern suddenly fell silent, indicating that Luo had proven his strength during this period.
