After arriving in the North Blue, Violet was dispatched to guard the entrance of Reverse Mountain.
Doflamingo's power had driven her to despair.
For the sake of her father's life, she could only beco Doflamingo's subordinate.
A pained expression appeared on Violet's face.
She had to obey her enemy's orders, but she was helpless.
She was grateful to Cyrus.
But she felt that the gap between Cyrus and Doflamingo was still vast.
Her purpose this ti was, in fact, to secretly give Cyrus a warning.
To remind him that Doflamingo had already sent two executives to the North Blue.
She was also aware that Doflamingo certainly didn't trust her; he only valued her ability.
If she made any moves, her family still in Dressrosa would be in danger.
Violet was conflicted.
Just then, her ability saw it.
The power of the Glare-Glare Fruit allowed her to see the situation at the mouth of Reverse Mountain from a great distance.
A boat wreathed in flas was rushing down from Reverse Mountain.
There were two people on the boat. Having seen his photograph, Violet recognized Cyrus at a glance, the one setting fires at the stern.
"A Devil Fruit user, a fla-type!"
Violet was startled, then her mind began to race.
"They're here, coming down from Reverse Mountain right now!"
After a mont of rapid thought, Violet imdiately spoke.
The n on alert in the surrounding area imdiately took out their Den Den Mushi upon hearing her.
A mont later, the pirate ships moored at the entrance of Reverse Mountain began to open fire.
Violet could see the flas, the thick smoke, and the fire soaring into the sky.
Her eyes were locked on the place where the battle had erupted, waiting for the result.
...
"Torchlight!"
A Fire Tornado appeared above the sea's surface.
Cyrus stood at the bow, sword in hand.
The incoming cannonballs exploded the mont they touched the flas.
With a single move, he completely blocked the incoming barrage.
"This is?"
Robin grabbed the hull to steady herself and asked, looking at the sword-wielding Cyrus.
"It seems they were waiting for ."
Hearing Robin's words from behind, Cyrus replied in a relaxed tone.
Doflamingo's business in the North Blue was the arms trade, producing various weapons and selling them to countries in the Four Seas and the Grand Line.
From this heavy bombardnt alone, Cyrus knew it had to be that flamingo who sent people to intercept him.
Of course, it could also be a test.
The fire wall he had conjured vanished, but the cannonfire continued.
The sound of cannons echoed across the sea as a massive number of shells blanketed the area where Cyrus was.
Cyrus glanced over and saw dozens of ships, bristling with cannons, moored densely together and firing continuously.
"You wait here!" Cyrus said, then leaped into the air. Flas erupted from his body and coiled around the longsword in his hand.
The longsword swung.
A fire wall, taller and thicker than before, appeared out of thin air.
Then, a slash gleaming with fire erged from within the fire wall, descending upon the distant fleet.
Boom!
The terrifying Fla Slash landed on a ship, cleaving it in two.
The flas began to spread, seemingly igniting the ammunition or sothing similar on board.
After the ship was cut in half, a huge explosion followed.
The entire ship was blown to smithereens, and its wreckage rained down on the other ships nearby.
The people on those ships scrambled to take cover.
But then, one after another, Fla Slashes descended from the sky.
Explosions rang out in succession, and the glare of fire lit up the sky.
Standing atop the fire wall in mid-air, Cyrus unleashed slash after slash.
The ships below that had surrounded them were split apart one by one, followed by sympathetic detonations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the explosions, the glare of fire completely enveloped the sea below.
The fire wall beneath Cyrus's feet disappeared.
And the ships that had been firing from below had all been destroyed by the slashes and explosions.
Thud!
Cyrus landed on the boat.
Robin looked at the sea of fire that ca into view after the fire wall vanished, then turned to Cyrus.
"I thought you would leave a few people alive to ask about the situation."
Robin was a little curious.
"No need. I know who the other party is, and I ca here specifically for them, so there's no need for that. With Doflamingo causing such a huge stir in the North Blue, it's impossible to hide the news."
Cyrus sheathed his sword and controlled the flas to propel the boat toward the inferno.
As the boat drew near, the sea of fire parted, creating a channel on the water's surface.
The small boat moved forward.
When it encountered the wreckage of a large ship blocking its path, a single slash split it in two.
"There's an island nearby, right?" Cyrus asked, turning his head after cutting a huge piece of ship wreckage in half.
"Yes, there is indeed an island!"
Having known that Cyrus was coming to the North Blue, Robin had long since morized the sea charts of the North Blue.
Now, hearing Cyrus's question, she imdiately gave an answer.
"Let's dock and rest for a bit!" Cyrus said.
Robin nodded, then pointed out the direction for Cyrus.
The boat sailed out of the sea of fire. Robin stood on the boat, looking back at the still-burning sea.
The glare of the fire illuminated her face, making it glow red.
"We should expect continuous battles from now on. You should also be prepared. You can apply the things I've taught you in combat."
Cyrus's voice rang out.
"Mm, I understand. I'll work hard. And of course, there's that Bājíquán, right?"
Robin nodded. As she spoke, she used Chinese to say the three words for Bājíquán.
"That's a type of martial art or a way of generating force from my holand. You can try to apply this technique when you use your Flower-Flower Fruit."
In truth, if Robin just used her ability well, her strength could improve by leaps and bounds.
At the very least, she could easily handle pirates in the Four Seas with bounties of ten or twenty million.
He ca here this ti to make good on his words.
If he said he would ruin your business, he would definitely do it.
The best and fastest way was to destroy at least most of your arsenals.
That way, even if so remained, the business would be more or less destroyed.
This might take so ti, and there would certainly be resistance.
It all depended on whether Doflamingo would co personally.
During this ti, Robin could use this opportunity to quickly accumulate combat experience, at the very least becoming proficient in using her own abilities.
And of course, awakening her Two Colors Haki.
The ti had been too short, after all. Robin had probably never encountered an ability like Haki before.
Or rather, she knew the na from records but didn't know how to train it.
There was still a lot of room for imagination in developing the Flower-Flower Fruit.
Of course, improving Robin's physique was also very important.
After all, using abilities and Haki consud a lot of stamina.
This was especially true for powerful techniques.
So her physique couldn't be neglected either.
However!
Cyrus suddenly turned to look at Robin, his eyes sizing her up.
He had to be careful not to train Robin into a muscle-bound freak.
Noticing Cyrus's gaze, Robin felt that his look was a bit strange, but she didn't know what he was thinking.
"I will work hard!"
Robin guessed at Cyrus's thoughts and said with a serious expression.
"Er, actually, you don't have to work that hard!"
As long as your figure doesn't get distorted!
