Robin put down her pen, her brow slightly furrowed.
"If that's the case, then you'll have a lot of things to do on your end."
"After all, you said you want to become that rallying figure, an existence like the Pirate King Roger. Only then can your ideas succeed."
Robin's tone was very serious.
She now understood the kind of influence a top-tier powerhouse on the seas could have.
Everything else could be faked, but strength could not.
The rallying power of a powerhouse who could roam the seas was astonishing.
But she also understood that the difficulty would be extremely high.
"I'm already prepared, and I'm ready to do it." Cyrus smiled upon hearing this, his tone very relaxed.
"And I will achieve it."
Seeing Cyrus's confidence, Robin nodded and said no more.
The recorded document was handed over to Gan Fall by Cyrus.
When Crocodile's people arrived on Sky Island, Gan Fall would give this document to them.
There was still one more thing, which was what to do with Enel.
Killing him would definitely be a waste.
But Enel was only temporarily subdued after being beaten by the three of them.
If he were left on Sky Island to wait for Crocodile's people, he would inevitably cause more trouble, and might even sabotage his arrangements on Sky Island.
If he had to return to Sky Island then, the back-and-forth would definitely waste a lot of time.
Therefore, it was better to take him away and hand him over to Crocodile directly at the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Cyrus asked, glancing at Robin.
"No, the Poneglyph rubbing is done. But it's not about ancient history; it should be information about an Ancient Weapon."
Robin hadn't fully deciphered the Poneglyph she got this time, but she already knew the general content of the information.
"Then take your time deciphering it!"
After speaking, Cyrus found Hawkeye, Issho, and Enel.
"Are we preparing to leave?" Issho guessed after being summoned.
"Yes, the things that needed to be done are finished. The next steps are more complicated and someone else will be responsible for them."
Cyrus nodded and then looked at Hawkeye.
"After we leave Sky Island and reach the sea below, let's find an island and have a fight."
Hawkeye was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Cyrus actually felt it was a bit of a pity about Hawkeye.
But the current Hawkeye didn't have the ideas he had when he later established the Cross Guild.
During this period of contact, Cyrus had indeed sensed this.
So, he would satisfy Hawkeye's desire for a fight and then let him leave.
As for whether Hawkeye would join the Hunter Guild later, that could be decided then.
"I..."
Enel was behaving himself now.
Three of the four people could beat him one-on-one; he had no choice but to be docile.
But he still didn't understand what Cyrus was planning to do.
"You can't stay on Sky Island anymore. Go down to the Blue Sea and see for yourself. This world is quite big," Cyrus said with a smile.
But from the tone of his words, Enel understood that there was no option to refuse.
The ship soon set sail again.
Gan Fall, with a group of his subordinates watched as the ship wreathed in flames soared into the sky.
He looked down at the document in his hand, filled with a large amount of text.
He didn't know where Sky Island's future was headed now.
But he didn't have much of a choice either.
He couldn't even resist Enel alone, and these people could easily defeat Enel.
Hopefully, there would be a good outcome.
...
On the ship flying from Sky Island down toward the Blue Sea, Cyrus looked at the Eternal Pose in his hand pointing to the Sabaody Archipelago and controlled the ship to glide through the sky.
He glanced at Enel, who was sitting silently in a corner of the deck, then his gaze fell back on the Pose.
He hadn't gained much from this fight with Enel.
Enel's Devil Fruit development was indeed good, but it probably hadn't reached the point of Awakening yet.
Perhaps only after the Ark Maxim was built, when Enel could truly control the thunder of the heavens with the Ark's power, would he touch upon Fruit Awakening.
Besides, even if Enel had truly awakened, the probability of learning his own Fruit Awakening from fighting him wasn't high.
Although they were both Logia Types, the difference between lightning and flame was still quite large.
At the very least, the data panel still showed "complete control," with no change.
To truly awaken, he still needed to continue developing it or find other opportunities.
The best way, naturally, was to fight more powerhouses.
Thinking of this, the ship, which was gliding in the direction of the Pose, began to descend.
Noticing the ship descending, Enel turned and grabbed the ship's rail, looking down.
The ship passed through the clouds in the sky, and the endless blue ocean came into his view.
"So this is the Blue Sea!" Enel muttered.
Before this, he had always had various fantasies about the Endless Vearth, but he could never imagine what it was really like.
Perhaps it was a place just like the one below.
After a long while, the ship landed in the sea, rocking gently with the waves.
"This is the place."
Cyrus stood up and looked at the island before him.
This was the suitable island he had spotted with his Observation Haki when they were in the sky.
There were many islands on the sea, but most were small reefs, and some had animals on them.
His fight with Hawkeye would surely cause immense destruction to such places.
So, after finding a suitable island, Cyrus had steered the ship to descend.
"Get back. Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire." Cyrus said, then leaped off the ship with his sword in hand.
Hawkeye glanced at the large, desolate-looking island beside them, then also rose and jumped off the ship.
"Mr. Issho, what should we do?" Robin looked at Issho.
"Let's move away as he said. I might not be able to completely block the aftershocks of their fight."
Issho actually wanted to land on the island and watch the fight up close.
However, he understood that if he wasn't on the ship, a single aftershock could destroy it unless they were far enough away.
Hearing Issho's words, Robin used her ability to steer the ship away from the island.
Enel also stood up, watching the island grow more distant.
What kind of spectacle would a fight between these two be?
...
At the center of the desolate island, Cyrus and Hawkeye faced each other.
The island didn't have much vegetation or many trees, at most, there were some grasses and shrubs growing among the messy bluestone.
Hawkeye raised his hand to grip the hilt of Night on his back, his eyes fixed on Cyrus.
"Don't think about using only Swordsmanship. If you do, this battle will be meaningless."
Those hawk-like eyes stared at Cyrus as Hawkeye spoke gravely.
"Of course. I've made you wait this long, so I'll definitely make it worth your while. I might even hand you a defeat."
"If that's the case, I look forward to it."
Fighting against the strong, especially a master of Swordsmanship, was what Hawkeye desired.
If he could suffer a defeat, perhaps his sword would grow even stronger.
