Because He's Still Just a Kid!
Vinsmoke Reiju has just been asked to leave her own library.
Storm didn't have the time or energy to teach Kid and Killer to read.
The teaching job ultimately fell to Robin.
"What a thick book! The dense text makes my head spin..."
Kid and Killer sat side by side at the desk like elementary school students, sharing a textbook.
"Why should we have this woman teach us? What knowledge does she even have...?"
Kid and Killer are, after all, natives of the South Blue.
Although both Kid and Killer knew during their introductions that Robin was a Great Pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million Beli.
With a bounty of this level, he would definitely be a legendary Great Pirate in the Four Seas!
However, Kid and Killer only knew one side of the story, not the other.
They knew that Robin was Great Pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million Beli.
However, they did not know that Robin's origin was the world-famous Ohara, the all-knowing island of the West Blue!
Normally.
She wouldn't mind if someone said Robin had dark skin, was quirky, or had bad taste.
Because she knew those things didn't matter.
However, the conversation between Kid and Killer hit Robin's biggest minefield with deadly precision.
The archaeologist was open to anything.
But he simply couldn't accept having his knowledge level questioned by two illiterate people!
This is so embarrassing...
Robin looked at the red-haired hedgehog-headed man, a very dangerous smile appearing on his face.
"Mr. Eustass, do you have any doubts about my level of knowledge?"
Kid glanced at Storm, who was still reading intently beside him, and mustered his courage to respond directly.
"I had no idea women could read and write."
Snap--
At that moment, a nerve in Robin's brain snapped.
"Mr. Eustass"
Robin's smile grew increasingly radiant, but the dangerous aura emanating from her also intensified.
"So what do you think women can do?"
"Washing clothes, cooking, sleeping, and taking care of the kids... that's about it."
Kid thought back to the women he had met before and nodded to himself.
"After all, she's a woman. That's just how she is by nature. She's not strong, she can't fight, and she can only do odd jobs."
Storm's eyes slowly rose from the top edge of the book "Magnetism and Current," silently sweeping over the boastful Kid.
You reap what you sow, Kid.
Those few words you just said weren't just stepping on Robin's landmines, they were practically dancing a rave in Robin's landmines!
Knowledge discrimination, gender discrimination, power discrimination, talent discrimination...
Storm shook his head inwardly.
Because he's still a kid...
Robin put down her textbook, crossed her arms, and glared at Kid with eyes as sharp as daggers.
"After all, Mr. Eustass is still just a 'Kid,' so it's understandable that he has such a naive and ignorant level of understanding."
Kid was somewhat puzzled by Robin's words, but instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he looked down at Killer beside him.
"Bro, is this woman... insulting me?"
Killer answered very honestly, "I couldn't understand a word she said."
"Damn it!"
Kid felt a surge of rage and glared at Robin.
"You woman, you must be cursing me!"
"I wasn't scolding you, kid."
Robin looked at Kid with eyes that were both pitiful and pathetic.
"I'm just describing you objectively."
"You--"
Kid still felt that Robin was insulting him, but he couldn't find any evidence, so he could only clench his fists, just like he often did in the past.
Do you want to fight?
"Tsk tsk, so you're starting to try and solve problems with violence?"
Robin shook his head as he spoke.
"You're still just a child~ But I can accept your challenge."
Enraged, Kid immediately rushed forward.
But before he could get close to Robin...
Suddenly, a pair of arms grew from his ankles.
With a pull of his arms, an "arm barrier" instantly wrapped around Kid's legs.
Thump--
Kid was just about to rush up to Robin and teach this woman a lesson.
He fell face-first into the mud in a pathetic manner, then slid down to Robin's feet due to inertia.
No matter what.
Robin is also Great Pirate with a bounty of 79 million.
Her current ability to deal with a Kid has only just left the "newbie village" can only be described in six words:
An adult hits a child.
After reprimanding Kid, Robin turned her attention to Killer.
"Mr. Killer, you seem to have some complaints about me too, don't you?"
A moment later.
Killer also collapsed beneath Robin's skirt.
The Devil Child could easily defeat those two South Blue natives.
From then on.
The internal food chain of relationships within Storm's group has been fully formed.
Storm, as the leader, was in a high position.
Next are Bear and Bonney.
Then comes Robin.
Finally, there are Kid and Killer.
Storm looked away.
Robin acted with great restraint; she only gave Kid and Killer a taste of their own medicine, without actually injuring them.
If we set aside the psychological harm...
The fact that they were "defeated by a woman" seemed to be a huge blow to Kid and Killer.
Although Robin's bounty is close to 80 million Beli;
Although Robin is a user with rather bizarre Devil Fruit User;
Although Robin is a woman;
But a defeat is a defeat.
After this lesson, Kid and Killer no longer looked down on women as they had before.
It was also because of this incident that Kid and Killer began to train even more intensely in order to improve their strength.
Their current motivation is almost on par with Storm '200x Effort insane training regimen at the Naval Academy, where he was pushing himself to the limit...
Storm highly values his subordinates who are willing to put in the effort and actively improve themselves.
He planned to teach Kid and Killer the techniques of the Rokushiki after their physical abilities had improved...
Time flies, and two days have passed.
After finishing reading "Magnetism and Current," Storm found some other books about "electricity" in the library to read.
Robin also provided Kid and Killer with their first education.
Killer has finally escaped the endless sea of suffering.
But Kid needs to deal with complex and difficult knowledge about magnetism in addition to his daily training.
However, Kid also discovered that as his understanding of magnetism deepened, his mastery of the [Magnet-Magnet Fruit] became increasingly adept.
It turns out that it's not just metals that can be attracted by magnetism...
It turns out that the ocean is also filled with various kinds of magnetic forces, and each island in the Grand Line has a different magnetic force...
It turns out that every living organism possesses a rather weak biomagnetic field...
Kid painfully but also joyfully improved his Devil Fruit level.
On the other side.
After two days of tireless effort.
Gage gave Bonney a thorough and detailed examination and obtained her stem cell samples, preparing to begin the next step of the cloning and cultivation plan.
That was destined to be a long process.
That day.
Storm finished reading the last book about electricity in the Vinsmoke library and put it back on the shelf.
Kid's [Magnet-Magnet Fruit] is a highly promising "scientific fruit".
Storm's [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] also allows him to improve his theoretical and practical skills through knowledge.
Even though Storm's [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] had already been developed to the [Awakening] level by him.
The reading activities he had been engaged in in the library these past few days had brought him considerable benefits.
Stillness breeds restlessness.
After spending two days diligently studying in the Germa Kingdom, Storm had the idea of going out for some activities.
According to what Gage said before.
It is estimated that cloning and cultivating Bonney's stem cells will take a year, and subsequent treatment will also take more than a year.
The entire process took two and a half years.
Storm didn't want to spend two and a half years preparing for war in the Germa Kingdom...
Besides.
This is the "legendary" "Weakest Sea"—the East Blue.
Storm had finally made it to the East Blue, and he didn't want to waste all his time in the Germa Kingdom.
He left the library and, following his memory, went to the Secret Laboratory of the Germa Kingdom.
Over the past two days.
Bear and Bonney have always stayed in this laboratory.
Storm went straight to Bear and got straight to the point.
"Bear, I'm going outside for some exercise. I'll leave everything here to you."
Where do you want to go?
Bear thought that Storm had come to him wanting to use his abilities for "tourism".
"The Grand Line?"
"We haven't decided on a specific location yet; we just want to go out for a walk."
Storm shook his head; he planned to act alone for a while and wouldn't take Robin and the others with him.
"If there are any problems, I will contact you later."
How long will you be gone?
"Bear asked softly."
"I spoke with Dr. Gage before, and he said that Germa 66's army has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to carry out the mission. Therefore Germa 66 will return to the North Blue soon."
The Germa Kingdom was hired to leave the North Blue and come to the East Blue to participate in the war.
However, the war in the Kingdom of Oycot is not yet over.
Germa 66's "evil army" has been wiped out first...
Without soldiers, how can the Germa 66 fight a war?
I have no choice but to go back to my hometown...
It's all Vinsmoke Gage's fault!
"Return to North Blue? I understand."
Storm nodded, offering a reminder.
"If Germa 66 is too short of funds, give that money to Gage."
"Don't let this interfere with Bonney's treatment."
"I know!"
Bear nodded solemnly.
"Even if it costs me my life, I will never let Bonney get hurt!"
"Also, Robin, Kid, Killer, and the others are all in your care."
Storm thought for a moment, then gave further instructions.
"Don't let your guard down around Gage; that guy's character is utterly despicable..."
"Yes, I understand."
"Bear said softly."
"Storm, have a safe journey."
"Bear, has anyone ever taught you not to congratulate others on their 'best flight' while flying?"
"Ah?"
"Taking a flight with the wind at your back increases the risk of a crash."
"Ah??"
"Alright, enough joking around, Bear. If you need anything, just contact me via Den Den Mushi."
After giving his final instructions, Storm mounted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and flew directly out of the Germa Kingdom.
The East Blue is so vast, I want to go and see it!
