Roar! Roar!
Matatabi, the Two-Tails, and Isobu, the Three-Tails, broke free from Lucci and Blueno.
The appearance of the two giant beasts startled everyone.
The CP9 members were completely bewildered; why could their companions transform into monsters?
Lucci and Blueno also lost consciousness after transforming into Tailed Beasts.
They were not perfect Jinchuriki to begin with, and even the Seals on them were not Tailed Beast-level Seals.
With just a slight emotional fluctuation, the Tailed Beasts would break free.
Just then, Iceburg noticed an unusual pattern in Robin's eyes.
At the same time, red Chakra burst forth from Robin's body, then the Chakra began to form Meridians, bones, and skin, finally transforming into a hundred-meter tall giant.
What was most special was that this red giant possessed a Thousand Hands and Thousand Arms.
Everyone looked at the red Thousand-Handed Giant before them, too shocked to speak.
"So cool!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper's eyes went wide.
This was the first time Robin had used Complete Body - Susanoo.
This giant, mech-like Susanoo had completely captivated the three of them.
Roar! Roar!
Matatabi and Isobu lunged at the red giant.
The red giant unleashed its thousand hands, countless fist shadows striking the two Tailed Beasts.
The two Tailed Beasts were sent flying, but they quickly got back up and attacked the red giant again.
Matatabi lunged forward once more, while Isobu condensed a Tailed Beast Ball from behind.
Luffy and the others, of course, wouldn't just stand by.
Luffy's Giant Pistol directly knocked Isobu's head to the side.
Isobu's Tailed Beast Ball was also fired at that moment, shooting towards the distant sea.
Rumble—
A massive tidal wave rose on the distant sea.
Several of Susanoo's arms grabbed Matatabi, easily suppressing it to the ground.
Robin then detached from Susanoo and landed on Matatabi.
Immediately after, Robin quickly formed hand signs: "Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, Seal!!"
Matatabi was pulled by a suction force from Robin's body, drawing it into Robin's abdomen.
Iceburg was dumbfounded; he had never seen such a strange situation.
Isobu didn't last much longer and soon followed in Matatabi's footsteps.
Robin was now the Jinchuriki of three Tailed Beasts.
Her strength also significantly increased, with the most obvious improvement being the enhancement of her Chakra.
As this battle concluded, the Enies Lobby incident also came to an end.
Since the Going Merry was too damaged to be repaired, Franky and Iceburg, the brothers, built a new ship for the Straw Hat Crew, the Thousand Sunny.
At the same time, Franky was invited by the Straw Hat Crew to become their eighth crew member, serving as the shipwright and pervert.
"So we still have one more crew member?" Franky asked curiously.
"Yes, that's our First Mate."
"First Mate? Then he must be very strong, right?"
"In a sense, the Old Man is indeed very strong," Zoro said, "At least none of us can defeat him."
"Haha… The Old Man isn't strong, but he has many interesting abilities."
Nami and Robin were sunbathing on the deck, completely unconcerned with correcting Luffy and the others' misunderstandings about Rosen.
…
Thriller Bark—
Gekko Moriah's ambition was great; he was not one to be subservient to others.
So during this time, whenever he felt his strength had greatly improved, he would challenge Rosen.
The current Moriah was no longer the shut-in he once was.
His sunken belly had become a sixteen-pack of abs, and his face was no longer an oval, but full of grim features, with fierce eyes, looking like a formidable thug.
"This short amount of time is not enough for you to surpass me." Rosen caught Moriah's punch: "And your Armament Haki isn't strong enough to break my Limitless / Limitless Void."
With that, Rosen suddenly sent Moriah flying.
Moriah was not surprised by this outcome.
This Old Man in front of him was simply too strong, so strong that Moriah couldn't see the end of his power.
"Old Man, your attacks are as ruthless as ever." Moriah wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"This is normal training."
"Then let's continue."
Moriah endured the initial period, then began to get on track.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that his strength, compared to before meeting Rosen, had not just improved a little, but had increased exponentially.
Now he was completely accustomed to this training intensity.
"I should be leaving tomorrow."
"You've trained me for so long, what do you want me to do?" Moriah didn't believe in things falling into his lap.
So he felt that Rosen was about to give him a task.
"In a while, my pirate crew will arrive; they are the Straw Hat Crew," Rosen said, "Give them as much trouble as you can."
"So you want me to be a stepping stone."
"What? Are you going to refuse?"
"Can I refuse?"
"No."
"If I'm too rough, don't blame me."
"They're not weak," Rosen reminded him, "If you don't meet my requirements, I'll reform you."
"I'm terrifyingly strong now!" Moriah said confidently.
The next day, Rosen and Bullet set off again.
"Now we're going to meet the Four Emperors."
Over the past few months, Bullet's strength had also been improving, and his progress was no less than Moriah's.
But what made Bullet despair was that Rosen's strength remained unfathomable.
Randall Island—
At this moment, the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates was resting here.
Just then, a large bird burning with blue flames descended from the sky, landing in front of Whitebeard.
"Old Man, a ship has appeared in the nearby waters, with two people on board, White-Haired Ghost and Bullet. From the direction they're coming from, they should be heading for us."
"White-Haired Ghost? Who is that?"
"A very powerful wanted criminal, with a bounty of 1.5 billion Berries, but the Marine's wanted poster doesn't specify his detailed information, nor does it state whether he is a pirate," Marco said, "But I heard that he once clashed with Admiral Aokiji and Marine Hero Garp in the Sabaody Archipelago, though the specific details are unknown."
"Bullet was a former member of the Roger Pirates, but after Roger's death, he went to war with the Marine, eventually collapsing from exhaustion and being captured, then sent to Impel Down. I don't know how he got out."
As the Captain of the First Division, Marco was not only powerful but also managed the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence network.
"Old Man, should we intercept them?" Jozu asked.
"No need. Since they're coming for me, let them come."
Three hours later, Rosen's small boat finally docked at Randall Island.
The Moby Dick was moored not far away, but no one from the Whitebeard Pirates came to stop them, nor did anyone come to greet them.
It wasn't that the Whitebeard Pirates were hiding; in fact, they were all standing openly in the distance, or gathered in twos and threes, but no one came to interact with them.
Just then, a wave of Conqueror's Haki spread from deep within the island.
That Conqueror's Haki surged like a giant wave.
Rosen's gaze sharpened, and his steps halted.
The next moment, an equally domineering Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body.
Broken wave clouds appeared in the sky above Randall Island.
Bullet voluntarily retreated a few steps, falling behind Rosen.
This was Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki?
It was indeed quite astonishing.
If he were to face Whitebeard, although Whitebeard couldn't knock him out with Conqueror's Haki, his strength would be suppressed by at least thirty percent.
In such a situation, it would be impossible to fight Whitebeard.
And Rosen had already judged Whitebeard's capacity from his Conqueror's Haki.
In a one-on-one situation, Whitebeard would probably only be slightly stronger than Bullet.
But his Conqueror's Haki was enough to defeat Bullet.
Bullet's Conqueror's Haki was too ordinary.
Just then, Whitebeard walked out of the forest, his tall figure like an iron tower, his open cloak revealing his chest, covered in dense scars.
Whitebeard held his bisento, laughing heartily: "Gurararara… Good Haki! Take this slash!"
With that, Whitebeard's bisento turned into a black blade, striking down towards Rosen from a hundred meters away.
Rosen raised his palm, directly catching Whitebeard's slash with his hand.
Everyone's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was the first time they had seen someone directly block Whitebeard's slash with their bare hands.
That was the strongest man in the World!!
Rosen's palm suddenly exerted force, and everyone heard a shattering sound.
Then they saw Whitebeard's slash being crushed by Rosen.
Whitebeard suddenly leaped up, his huge body bringing with it a mountain-like sense of oppression.
Conqueror's Haki coating!
Whitebeard brought his bisento down on Rosen, the bisento wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, the two Haki intertwined, constantly erupting with black lightning.
At the same time, Whitebeard also condensed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on the blade of his bisento.
This was Whitebeard's Peak attack.
Rosen also condensed Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki in his right palm.
The moment Whitebeard's bisento came down, it remained a dozen centimeters away from Rosen's palm.
A black orb of light condensed between the two, a clash of their energies.
Rosen's power suddenly increased, and his Conqueror's Haki also abruptly strengthened.
Whitebeard felt a massive force coming from the opposite side, his body uncontrollably flying backward, his feet plowing two furrows in the ground.
"Gurararara… Again, again!"
"Old Man, how many more times can your body sustain that level of attack?" Rosen raised his hand, stopping Whitebeard from continuing his strong assault.
"Old Man!? Old guy, you might not be younger than me."
Whitebeard retorted indignantly; he could be called anything, but not old.
"But I'm healthier than you."
Rosen deliberately pulled up his sleeve, revealing his biceps.
"Tell me, why have you come to see me?"
