One Piece: Reborn in Ohara

Rob ate the fruits, but he was not full at all! However, since Robin was being fostered in someone else's home and didn't have enough to eat herself, she couldn't bring him more food.

"Robin!" After drinking fresh water, Rob looked at Robin. "Where can I hunt small beasts on this island? I'll take you hunting!"

Hearing Rob's words, Robin, who had been smart and independent since she was a child, knew that he was not full. She did not refuse and told Rob where the forest was.

Standing up, she said, "You come with me!"

While speaking, Robin walked directly towards the interior of the island. Before long, under her guidance, Rob followed her to a small forest. In a hidden grassy area, Robin found some simple tools and then took Rob to make traps and kill prey.

This scene made Rob feel a little distressed. Even if he didn't know the plot, he could tell from Robin's clothes and her sallow, emaciated state of malnutrition that she wasn't doing well behind the scenes. However, the current Rob couldn't give Robin any help and had to rely on her instead.

...

After half a day, in a small cave, a bonfire was burning. Rob was salivating while grilling several large rabbits he had caught. Beside him, Robin was doing the same! When she made traps by herself, she mostly came back empty-handed. Today, with Rob's assistance, it was simply the biggest harvest ever! To be honest, Robin hadn't been able to eat meat for more than a month.

Not long after, after thoroughly roasting these big rabbits, Rob handed one of them to Robin, then picked up the other one himself and started to eat it.

"Ha--"

"Ha--"

"Ha--"

Even though there was no seasoning, Robin still ate with her mouth full of oil, and because it was too hot, she breathed heavily. Seeing Robin's face, Rob felt a little pity.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Robin's little head. "Don't worry, there are many more! Eat slowly!"

Feeling the hand above her head and listening to Rob's gentle words, Robin was stunned for a moment. Then, slowly lowering her head, she softly answered, "Um!"

If you listened closely, you could hear the trembling in Robin's voice and it wasn't hard to find that there were tears in her eyes. After all, ever since she could remember, no one had cared so much about her! Her mother left her young and went to sea. The relatives in the boarding house also beat and scolded her, how could they care?

It's a pity that Rob's caring behavior was just his subconscious. Now, he was focused on filling his stomach and couldn't notice Robin's delicate emotions and thoughts.

After half an hour, both Rob and Robin, who were full, were lying lazily on the stone slabs in the cave with a look of satisfaction!

Resting for a while, Robin sat up and looked at Rob. "Where are you going to rest tonight? Do you want to... go home with me?"

According to Robin, Rob had lost his memory. And as a child with nowhere to go, if she didn't take him in, he might stay in the wilderness.

With legs crossed, Rob's eyes were very calm as he opened his mouth and said:

"No need! I'll stay here and use this cave as my temporary residence!"

Going back to her house with Robin? For a split second, Rob did consider it. But thinking about what kind of life Robin lived as a child, Rob knew it might bring more trouble to her than help.

In this case, why should he add to Robin's troubles? Although his body had become smaller, Rob, with his mature mind and experience in wild survival, didn't think he would have any problems surviving alone in the wild.

Gritting her teeth, Robin glanced at the sky outside and said, "Hmm... Okay! I'll come to see you tomorrow and bring you some daily necessities. It's getting late now... I'm going back!"

Rob nodded, smiled, and said, "Be careful on the road!"

After a short farewell, Robin left quickly. Touching his chin, Rob thought, "Could this be the classic plot in the hot-blooded manga—the bond? So, I've become acquainted with Robin! In other words, I've become partners with the heroine?"

This development—interesting!

After laughing, Rob also acted quickly. At the entrance of the cave, he made a large number of simple alarm devices and stocked up on dry wood for the night.

Finally, Rob sat in the cave, considering his future: "My body has become smaller, and there's no special way to become stronger. It seems that if I want to protect myself and live a decent life, I need to focus on my unlocked talent!"

Putting his hands on the ground, Rob did a standard push-up, his face becoming serious: "Let me see if I really need to exercise to trigger this talent—born strong!"

Soon, Rob did one push-up after another. When he did more than ten push-ups, he felt a little tired, but soon something like a cool air flowed in his body, completely eliminating his fatigue. His eyes lit up. Suddenly, Rob worked harder. When he felt tired at thirty push-ups, the cool air appeared again!

...

A hundred.

...

Three hundred.

...

Five hundred.

...

Gollum—

When the push-ups reached 600, Rob suddenly felt hungry. He stopped, feeling the changes in his body, with a look of shock: "Six hundred standard push-ups... That gust of cool air is the manifestation of the talent I unlocked—born strong? It is indeed very powerful! However, it needs to consume a lot of energy!"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be hungry so quickly. It looks like the first talent unlocked—born strong, really needs to be exercised to be triggered and then requires a lot of food!

Soon, Rob put everything aside, cleaned up, prepared food for tomorrow's breakfast, ate it all, filled his stomach, and went straight to sleep. After all, it had been a tiring day too.
