With a loud bang, a leaf was dropped by the little raccoon, exploding into a large cloud of white smoke.

The three of them instinctively jumped back, and as the smoke cleared, a giant humanoid cat dressed in a Japanese kimono appeared on the deck.

Crocodile's eyes were full of vigilance; this cat actually gave him a sense of danger.

Redfield seemed quite interested in the cat that had suddenly appeared, and the moment the cat looked at him, he thrust his longsword out.

The giant cat that had just materialized was scattered in a single encounter, leaving Robert somewhat bewildered. The characters that could be conjured from leaves in the game were all incredibly powerful, just like real people, so how could their real-world strength be so weak?

However, Redfield's sword strike just now really surprised Robert. The sword had neither fancy sound and light effects nor any sword energy or blade light, but it still gave off a very dangerous feeling.

Given Robert's current strength, no one can stop him from running away if he wants to. He chose to stay not because he can't escape, but because he's ready to test his own limits.

Redfield has not yet eaten a Devil Fruit, making him a typical example of a powerful individual without a Devil Fruit ability. He relies solely on his three types of Haki and his powerful swordsmanship to roam the seas.

Robert had previously either not been hostile to those without Devil Fruit abilities or had simply crushed them; now he had finally found a litmus test.

Redfield's eyes were fixed on the small beast on Robert's shoulder, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.

Robert reacted incredibly fast; his body almost instantly vanished into the element, and the next second he was already on the other side of the island.

He placed the bewildered raccoon next to the unconscious Da Luo and Xiao Luo: "I need to go back and check on them. Could you take care of these two for me?"

The little raccoon nodded vigorously, and Robert transformed into lightning and returned to the battlefield.

“Old sir, I had no intention of opposing you, but since you ambushed me, I cannot remain indifferent.”

Redfield's gaze toward Robert finally turned serious: "A very interesting Devil Fruit ability. Where did you hide that tanuki? Here, give it to me. I don't want any other valuables."

Robert also lost his temper: "You should know that the reason this group of human traffickers moved out of the safe Sabaody Archipelago, allowing you to seize the opportunity to rob them, is entirely because my friends and I caused a huge disturbance in Sabaody Archipelago a week ago."

"So you don't need to confront the Navy directly now, but can easily steal their ill-gotten gains. You should thank me for that."

"I've already made it clear that I don't want a single penny of the money here. I just want to leave with my people. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Redfield said nothing, and thrust his sword at Robert.

The two were seven or eight meters apart, and it was impossible for the sword to hit Robert, but Robert was not careless at all and simply dodged to another place.

The moment he appeared, a strange sense of crisis washed over him. Robert released his most powerful electric current and teleported to the shore without stopping.

Robert looked at his slightly scratched shoulder with a serious expression.

The fact that he was injured meant that the sword Redfield used to strike him was a physical weapon imbued with Armament Haki, but Robert hadn't even seen how the old man managed to strike him.

Even the speed-renowned Shaved Robert of the Six Styles of the Navy has been experienced several times, but it is far inferior to Redfield's bizarre movement speed just now.

Redfield stood still, turning his head to look at Robert:

"You have a very strong Devil Fruit ability, extremely fast speed, and great power. It is indeed difficult for me to catch you, but unfortunately, you can't hurt me either."

If it weren't for Robert's unique electronic perception ability, which allowed him to detect a large amount of chaotic current surging within the old man's body, he would have truly believed that the millions of volts of current he had subconsciously released earlier would have been completely ineffective.

Redfield's aura continued to rise, and he stood at the bow of the ship, his expression like thunder: "Tell me what you really want from me, and leave that raccoon behind, and I'll let you go."

Robert felt a surge of electricity coursing through his body: "You came to my door yourself, yet you accuse me of having designs on you. Also, I rescued that raccoon dog earlier, and I like it very much. If you want to take it away, let's continue fighting. From now on, you won't even have a chance to get close to me."

Redfield had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately leaped from the bow of the ship, zigzagging through the air as he charged toward Robert on the shore.

The instant Robert disappeared from his spot, a bolt of lightning struck Redfield, who was still in mid-air.

Different strategies are needed to deal with different enemies. When fighting Aokiji and Akainu, since they were both Logia-type Devil Fruit users, they had extremely strong resistance to lightning, so I could only slowly scrape them.

At that time, I truly understood what Kaido meant when he said that only domineering power is the way to victory.

But now, facing the domineering and incomparably powerful veteran Redfield, Robert felt that Devil Fruits were invincible.

He began to move and flash at long distances, attracting lightning to attack Redfield. Before each lightning strike, he would forcibly control the electrons in Redfield's body, achieving instantaneous strong control.

Although controlling the electrons in the enemy's body is very difficult, Robert does not use brute force to fix the person in place. Instead, he manipulates Redfield's core muscles at the moment he is about to move, causing the force exertion to be deformed.

The lightning attacks that could have been dodged were all taken squarely by Robert because his movements were forcibly distorted.

Redfield, the old man, was now truly enraged, abandoning his previous elegance and covering his entire body with Armament Haki.

Once Armament Haki was activated, Robert could barely sense the electrical current within his body, and therefore could not exert any control over it.

Moreover, after being imbued with Armament Haki, the old man's resistance to lightning was greatly enhanced, allowing him to withstand the lightning strikes and relentlessly chase after him.

A giant sand sword rose out of thin air from the beach. Redfield had to use multiple sword strikes to break it apart. Crocodile landed on the beach with a sinister grin, forming a pincer attack on Redfield with Robert.

With Crocodile's help, Robert was able to deal damage with even greater ease. He hovered outside the range of the sword energy attacks, and the two cooperated extremely well, at one point forcing Redfield to only be able to parry.

Crocodile had never fought so comfortably. Robert always managed to briefly control the enemy when he needed it most, whether it was to allow him to dodge attacks or to make an attack that was originally a step behind hit him.

In his excitement, he used the Desert Sunflower move to force Redfield to jump up, then quickly closed in, extending his right hand to unleash the Desert Cage, trying to squeeze the moisture out of Redfield's body.

Robert's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was amiss. Before he could even warn anyone, he felt a powerful aura explode from Redfield.

Crocodile, who was extremely close by, was completely caught off guard and caught off guard by Conqueror's Haki. Redfield's sword, imbued with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, pierced through Crocodile in an instant.

Redfield, a smile on his face, stepped on Crocodile's chest, drew his sword, and held it to his throat, then looked at Robert:

"Now that your ally is in my hands, what are you going to do? Will you choose to save him, or will you choose to agree to my terms?"

Robert's expression was strange: "We've only met twice today, and you're using him to blackmail me?"

A loud shout came from the bushes nearby: "Let go of my boss, and we'll agree to your demands!"

Robert cursed under his breath. He couldn't multitask. He had focused all his energy on Redfield during the battle and hadn't paid attention to monitoring the whole island. This allowed Mr. 1, who was hiding nearby, to capture Padon and even bring Ronaldo and Ronaldinho along!

He could certainly kill Mr. 1 instantly, but then Crocodile would have to stand on the opposite side.

Robert was really reluctant to give up the powerful cheat he had just acquired, but Ronaldo and Ronaldinho hadn't let him down so far. He could manage on his own, but with these two burdens, he wouldn't be able to win a fight or escape.

His mind raced, and a smile suddenly appeared on Robert's lips:

"Okay, I admit it, I did have some designs on you a long time ago."

"Actually, I came all the way from the sea specifically to find you!"

Chapter 6 Everyone says Old Man Lai is hard to fathom, but I'm determined to kidnap him.

Redfield had an "I knew it" look on his face. He first nodded to Mr. 1, gesturing for him to take the little beast in his hand.

Robert watched as Redfield held the little raccoon cat, who looked terrified, without showing the slightest reluctance.

"What's your name?"

Redfield seems to have a natural affinity for this little animal, and his request for it from Robert doesn't seem to be entirely due to its Devil Fruit ability.

"I...I don't have a name..."

Redfield burst out laughing: "Then you can be called Padong from now on."

Robert sighed. Why hadn't he secured the naming rights earlier? Even if it was called Cristiano Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo, James Ronaldo, or Lucky Ronaldo, Redfield still managed to snatch the fateful name first.

Padong looked at Robert with pleading eyes, and Robert looked back at her with his eyes to reassure her: "Isn't it a nice name? Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

Redfield removed the sword from Crocodile's neck, and Mr. 1 quickly helped his boss up.

Crocodile was also unlucky. He was actually very strong, but he fought against many powerful opponents in the Marineford War and was seriously injured.

Having just taken several hard blows in his fight with Robert, and then being struck by Redfield's Entangling Strike, he is completely incapacitated.

Rescued in this way by his subordinates, Crocodile was humiliated and didn't even dare to look Robert in the eye, lowering his head and saying:

"I've lost today. The money on the island is yours, Robert. I owe you my life, and I'll repay you in the future."

Redfield laughed and said, "I told you I only need a ship and some belongings. I can't move anything from this island myself."

He grabbed Paddon and jumped onto the boat that the human traffickers had prepared to sail out to sea, only to find that Robert was already on the boat, shoving his two men.

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho had already been knocked unconscious by Robert's electric shocks, and now they were immediately awakened by Robert's electric shocks again.

The two dazed individuals saw Robert and hugged him, laughing and crying at the same time.

Robert pushed the two men aside and said, "Alright, hurry up and set sail. The Indians are waiting."

Redfield was very dissatisfied with Robert's overbearing attitude, but he was somewhat helpless against Robert's Devil Fruit ability.

Facing Crocodile, he could easily close the distance using physical skills, and then defeat this opponent who relied too much on his Devil Fruit ability with Haki.

However, Robert's Devil Fruit ability is somewhat unsolvable. First of all, his speed is so fast that it is impossible for me to catch up. Even if I can sense where he is about to land using Observation Haki, as long as this kid doesn't get close, I can't attack him even if I know where he is going to land.

As for the use of Conqueror's Haki, I observed it during that attack. Crocodile was indeed severely affected, but Robert, who was in the distance, only froze for a moment before regaining his mobility, seemingly having extremely high resistance to Conqueror's Haki.

What he didn't know was that although Robert debuted late, he had encountered top-tier fighters, and had witnessed the Conqueror's Haki of Fire Fist Ace, Red-Haired Shanks, and Whitebeard Howard.

Although Redfield was also a master of Haki, he himself admitted that his ambitions were far less than those of Roger and Whitebeard, who were contemporaries.

Therefore, Robert was only momentarily stunned when he was hit by the Conqueror's Haki, and then he quickly realized that the old man's mental attack, which seemed powerful, was actually weak in its core and he could handle it completely.

After handing the pointer pointing to the Sabaody Archipelago to Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Robert, as if nothing had happened, found a wooden barrel and sat down opposite Redfield.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching me?"

Although Robert didn't know what the old man had experienced in his childhood that caused his paranoia to be so severe, even though the old man had approached him, he insisted that the old man had ulterior motives simply because the old man couldn't see through his thoughts.

Do you know Old Man Whitebeard?

Redfield certainly knew Whitebeard, and Robert knew he did too, but relying on the fact that he was immune to Whitebeard's mind-reading abilities without knowing the specifics, Robert planned to trick him badly.

"You're also Whitebeard's adopted son?"

Robert was somewhat puzzled by his attitude and tentatively asked, "Did you know that your father passed away?"

Redfield froze. He had been focused on guarding against Robert, but the moment he heard the news, he revealed a huge weakness.

Robert, of course, did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He was also quite helpless, as the old man had not been watching the news at all since he escaped from Impel Down.

His body vanished from the spot, and when Robert reappeared, he was holding a newspaper he had just bought from a newsbird a few kilometers away.

Redfield snatched the newspaper and began reading it, panting heavily. His aura fluctuated wildly, clearly indicating a great deal of inner turmoil.

Robert took the opportunity to hug Little Padong and casually took out a few candies from his spatial storage to feed it.

Redfield took a long time to finish reading the newspaper before calming down and looking at Robert: "Since he chose to dedicate his life to his family, then dying for his family in the end can be considered a worthy death."

Robert magically produced a Sky Island Coin and handed it to Redfield: "This is what my dad left me, telling me to give it to his old friend."

Redfield said with an arrogant look, "Who are his old friends? I have no ties in my life and never make friends with anyone!"

Somewhat embarrassed, Da Luo called out to Robert from the bow, "Boss, we're having a bit trouble operating this kind of two-masted sailboat..."

Robert put the image shell back where it was and said to Paddon, "Little Paddon, can you conjure up a few crew members?"
