Awakening Conqueror's Haki!
As he spoke, Ivan felt himself becoming excited; these words came from his heart and were his true thoughts.
Although he was telling Robin, he was also clarifying his own aspirations, making him aware of what he wanted to do in the future and how to do it!
In the end, Ivan was even more excited than Robin had just heard the earth-shattering news.
As soon as he finished speaking, his emotions reached their peak.
And then, in the next moment!
A violent black lightning bolt emanated from Ivan and rapidly spread outwards, like a dark cloud pressing down on everyone's heads.
At this moment, Conqueror's Haki has finally Awakening!
"This is... Conqueror's Haki!"
Robin's once calm heart was now in turmoil again. Robin felt that the emotional fluctuations he experienced in those few minutes were greater than in the entire previous year.
To be honest, Robin felt that Ivan was a very nice person when she first met Ivan.
His eyes burned with fire, a fire so pure and clean that it was something she, who had long lived in darkness, yearned for most.
That's why she agreed to let Ivan temporarily become her crew member.
But even though Ivan had greatly enhanced her physique with his special enhancement abilities, she had not given up the idea of leaving.
Although she wanted to stay, Robin knew that Ivan couldn't protect her, and might even be implicated by her.
Therefore, for everyone's safety, she had to leave.
But now, she has abruptly changed her mind.
Ivan's ideals were broader than she had imagined, and Ivan's strength was greater than she had anticipated.
The Fox who recently assassinated Celestial Dragons and escaped unscathed is actually the same person as Ivan! This is unbelievable!
This means that Ivan must possess some kind of magical power that allows him to appear in different areas simultaneously, providing a perfect alibi.
His strength is also extremely formidable, allowing him to easily escape from the encirclement of several Vice Admiral and two Shichibukai.
Ivan not only possesses the power to protect her, but his own troubles far exceed hers.
What are Devil Child compared to God Slayer!
Therefore, Robin no longer had any worries.
The Devil Child, who had been hiding in the shadows of the world for over a decade, has finally found his home and companions to share life and death with!
Robin laughed, then burst into tears, sobbing loudly, "Yes, Ivan, please take care of me from now on!"
Ivan hugged Robin and patted her smooth back. "Please take care of me in the future!"
Next, Ivan demonstrated his Shadow Clone, showing Robin how Ivan created his alibi.
After Ivan created a small ship using Wood Release, the ship sailed against the wind and waves, heading towards the depths of the Grand Line.
Their goal was simple: the end of Paradise — the Sabaody Archipelago!
Quite a few Celestial Dragons like to live there permanently!
The Sabaody Archipelago is the most important island in the middle of the Grand Line, consisting of 79 numbered Yarukiman Mangrove.
The island is divided into functional zones based on the numbering system. Zones 1-29 are Lawless Zone, with Zone 1 being the venue for the slave auction, which is a major gathering place for the Celestial Dragons.
Ivan and his companion did not go to the auction immediately, but instead stayed at a hotel in area 70.
This time, Ivan is going to do something big: wipe out all the Celestial Dragons on Sabaody Archipelago!
Area 36, the shopping street in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because the Celestial Dragons do not allow Fox masks to be worn on the Sabaody Archipelago, Ivan wore a white cat mask and Robin wore a Black Cat mask. The two walked side by side, like an ordinary couple strolling through the streets.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead.
When Ivan and his companion approached, they saw a man with a fierce-looking face and a face full of scars. He was carrying a little girl and was about to leave.
At his feet, a middle-aged woman was crying sadly, clinging to the man's leg and preventing him from leaving.
"Sir, please let my child go! My husband divorced me a long time ago, and the money he owes has nothing to do with us!" the middle-aged woman cried and pleaded.
However, instead of letting go of the little girl, the vicious man kicked the middle-aged woman away and slapped his thigh in disgust.
"Idiot, do you think everything will be fine just because you divorced your husband?"
To tell you the truth, these days big shots love fair-skinned, delicate children like this. If it weren't for your little girl, why would I have lent your husband so much money?
These words made the middle-aged woman Satori, and her expression instantly turned extremely grief-stricken:
"It's you, it's you! My husband got addicted to drugs and then went into debt... It was all a trap you set!"
"Hahaha, so what if you know? Get the hell out of here, or I'll kick you to death!"
But her husband was beaten to death because of debts, and now her daughter has been abducted. This middle-aged woman had long been determined to die; how could she possibly leave?
The next moment, with a resolute expression, she fearlessly lunged at the vicious man.
Upon seeing this, the vicious man's face turned cruel. He was about to kick out when suddenly, a pebble, accompanied by a piercing sound, flashed by and instantly struck the vicious man's temple, piercing his brain.
The vicious man died instantly!
This vast ocean is just like that; ordinary street thugs who bully the weak are nothing more than insects that can be crushed at any moment to the truly strong.
Therefore, without a truly strong leader, it is impossible for the underprivileged to rise up!
This middle-aged woman was lucky; Ivan intervened!
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly pulled the little girl away.
She had to escape as soon as possible. If she stayed and was discovered by the gang behind the vicious man, there was only one way out: to leave this island full of sin and have a chance of survival!
At the same time, another stack of Beli was thrown out, going unnoticed by anyone, and flew into the middle-aged woman's pocket.
That 50,000 Beli was enough for the middle-aged woman to leave; what happened after that was beyond Ivan's control.
Having killed a villain and rescued two people, Ivan was in a good mood and was preparing to continue his stroll, while also using his Observation Haki to investigate the Celestial Dragons' whereabouts.
Just then, a man with freckles on his cheeks and wearing an orange cowboy hat suddenly blocked his way.
The man stared at Ivan with curiosity, his eyes filled with a burning desire for battle.
Ivan frowned slightly. Good heavens, his attention had been so focused on the mother and daughter that he hadn't even noticed Fire Fist Ace was there.
This is troublesome.
He feigned confusion and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ace asked expectantly, "You were the one who saved that mother and daughter just now, weren't you?"
"That's right, and then what?"
Ace glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then stepped forward and tentatively whispered, "You must be the Fox from Shadow Garden, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ivan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The most troublesome thing happened: Ace began to doubt his identity.
Faced with Ace's probing, Ivan naturally wouldn't admit it. He shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not Fox, I'm just an ordinary person."
However, Ace smiled and pointed to his head:
Don't lie to me, I heard you, you're the Fox!
After all, your spirit is comparable to your Pops's!
This is just a transitional chapter; the next one will be truly exhilarating!
