One Piece: Reborn in Ohara

Chapter 19: 19. Oni-chan, Sugoi!



Twin Cape.

Using the Eternal Pose and his improving navigation skills, Rob managed to navigate back from Mock Town, bringing Robin along. After a month and a half, they finally returned to Twin Cape.

It was from here that they used the Vivre Card to trace the whereabouts of Olvia.

After anchoring on the shore of Twin Cape, Robin looked at Rob with curiosity:

"Oni-chan, why did we come back here specifically?"

Hearing Robin's question, Rob looked at the lighthouse at Twin Cape with anticipation:

"We are here to visit a remarkable doctor. I want to learn some medical skills from him! I hope to develop methods that have no side effects but can improve the quality and potential of the human body."

"That way, I can become stronger faster, and you, Robin, can also grow better. In the future, even if I'm not by your side, you'll have enough strength to protect yourself."

Robin's face tightened at Rob's words:

"Oni-chan, are you leaving me too?"

Rob raised his hand and tapped Robin's head gently:

"Stupid! What are you thinking? Of course, I won't leave you!"

"Just in case something unexpected happens and I can't rush to your side when you are in danger, or when you have to handle things by yourself, you can still protect yourself."

Hearing Rob's reassurance, Robin's worried expression softened.

Soon, Rob took Robin to the door of the lighthouse and knocked. He was certain that Crocus was expecting them, knowing that he and Robin had arrived.

Crunch—

The door opened, and Crocus, with his strong figure and flower-like hairstyle, walked out, looking puzzled at Rob and Robin standing at the door.

Noticing there was no one else, Crocus asked:

"What's the matter, kid? Are you the only two here? Where are your parents?"

Rob looked at Crocus, deciding to be honest:

"My name is Rob, and this is my sister Robin. We sailed all the way from West Blue!"

"I heard from a senior who sailed on the Grand Line that the lighthouse keeper at Twin Cape is a very great doctor. I want to learn medicine from you. Please guide me!"

Sincerity is always the best approach! Given that he and Robin were only seven or eight years old and looked adorable, their chances of getting Crocus to agree were high.

Moreover, aside from his background as a time traveler, Rob felt there was no need to lie about anything else.

"Huh?!"

Hearing Rob's words, Crocus glanced at the small sailboat docked on the shore, then back at Rob and Robin. A look of surprise crossed his face.

"You two are really something! Sailing here from West Blue! But boy, you want to study medicine. Why should I teach you? My medical skills aren't something just anyone can learn!"

Crocus, well-informed and experienced, having sailed to Raftel with Roger, wasn't easily shocked. While impressed that two children had managed to sail from West Blue, he knew the sea had its share of prodigies. Whitebeard had set sail young, Kaido had been a war weapon as a child, and Charlotte Linlin had injured a giant at five.

The sea has no shortage of natural talents and monsters!

Crocus could sense that despite Rob's youth, he possessed considerable strength, marking him as a young prodigy destined for greatness on the sea.

Hearing Crocus's words, Rob smiled confidently.

"I am a true genius! If you teach me, I'll learn everything you know in a very short time."

Rob's self-assured proclamation was bold, yet sincere. Crocus, who had ventured to Raftel and now guarded the lighthouse waiting for Roger Pirates' destined successor, might find the idea of a successor appealing.

Rob believed he could impress Crocus, leveraging his powerful talent for learning and knowledge absorption.

"What a confident kid!"

Seeing Rob's sincere and confident smile, Crocus grinned.

"I'll give you a chance! If you can prove your ability to learn medical skills in the next three days, I'll accept you as a disciple. How about it?"

Crocus wanted to see if this natural prodigy, who sailed from West Blue with his sister, truly possessed remarkable skills.

Rob smiled slightly.

"I promise! In the next three days, I'll change your understanding of genius, teacher!"

Robin, though puzzled why this middle-aged uncle would so easily give her Oni-chan a chance, knew her brother's goal was within reach. She had witnessed Rob's incredible learning ability back in West Blue.

It seemed this uncle, recognized by her Oni-chan, might end up teaching him everything he knew.

For this, Robin simply wanted to say:

"Oni-chan, sugoi!"
