One Piece : I Have Saitama Strength

Not only the people of Marineford, but also the global audience watching the screen were in an uproar.

Akainu's earlier words had confirmed that the man on the screen was indeed the legendary powerhouse from forty years ago!

"Those old men were right, this person really is Bob!"

"Damn, in my imagination, shouldn't he be a towering figure with three heads and six arms, with an extremely terrifying appearance?"

"This is going to be tough for the Marines and the World Government. According to what Sengoku said, Bob's strength is definitely not inferior to any of the Four Emperors and might even surpass them by several levels!"

"Rather than that, shouldn't we be more concerned about why he's still alive?"

"And in these forty years, there hasn't been a single piece of news about him!"

For a moment, people around the world were plunged into heated discussions.

As they recalled the words of those old men earlier, they realized how shallow their understanding had been.

At the same time, regarding the events of forty years ago, they began to suspect that the truth might not be exactly as Sengoku had described.

Some parts might be true, but others were likely concealed.

Thinking of this, some of the younger viewers turned their gaze toward the old men who had spoken earlier.

Standing in the crowd, a few individuals who had been staring intently at the screen now felt the weight of everyone's attention and let out a hearty laugh.

"Indeed, this part of history has been hidden!"

"The World Government told half-truths and half-lies!"

"But... I won't say more. Now that Commander Bob has appeared, he will surely reveal the buried history to the world!"

One of the old men, with a long beard and a scar on his face, spoke with unwavering trust and admiration for Bob.

He was one of the lucky survivors of the Rocks Pirates, having escaped death in that great battle and evaded the Marines in the years that followed.

Now, seeing the once-vigorous commander still alive, appearing in Marineford and looking as young as he had forty years ago, the old man was momentarily choked with emotion.

If he were twenty years younger, he felt he would have joined the fight to overthrow the hypocritical World Government.

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent and someone noticed a crucial point.

"Commander Bob..."

"Were you perhaps a member of the Rocks Pirates?" A young man tentatively asked, his voice filled with astonishment.

In response, the old man nodded.

For the first time in many years, he no longer had to hide this identity.

The confirmation from the old man not only shocked the young man who had asked but also everyone around them.

They had been foolishly skeptical, unaware that someone who had personally experienced that era was right there among them.

Now, they felt the weight of their own ignorance.

"Let's keep watching!" The old man composed himself and spoke calmly.

Inside Marineford

Bob showed no reaction to Akainu's shouting.

According to Bob's memory, he had never attacked Akainu before and he couldn't understand why this Marine Admiral was reacting so strongly.

In the next moment, Bob lightly tapped the ground with his toes and leaped backward, landing beside Whitebeard.

"Gurarara!"

"Bob, you've finally arrived!"

"I've been waiting for you for so long!" Whitebeard saw Bob appear by his side, planted his bisento Murakumogiri, into the ground and laughed heartily.

"Old man!"

"Have you been in contact with Bob all this time?" Beside the Moby Dick, Marco asked in shock.

From Sengoku words earlier, he knew that his father had some connection with the man named Bob, having worked together in a pirate crew.

But he never expected that his father would know Bob was coming.

This meant that his father had been in contact with Bob all along.

Not far away, Jozu, Vista and the other division commanders were also looking at their father, eager to hear the answer.

"Gurararara!"

"Not only have we been in contact, but Bob is also my brother!"

"There was a time when this kid even called me 'big brother'!" Whitebeard replied with great pride when his son asked him.

The smugness on his face was unmistakable, as if this was something worth boasting about.

"Jihahahaha!"

"Edward, after all these years, you've learned to how to brag now!" Shiki, with a cigar in his mouth, teased Whitebeard.

After saying that, his floating body slowly drifted toward Bob and then stood by his side.

"Shiki!"

"If we're talking about bragging, who could possibly outdo you?"

"You used to spout nonsense in front of my Commander every day!" Not far away, Kaido mimicked Shiki's tone and teased him.

The next moment, he bent his knees hard and the ground instantly cracked.

His body shot straight toward Bob.

"BOOM!!"

In the blink of an eye, he landed on the ship's bow, the massive impact causing the huge vessel to sway.

"Kaido, can't you be a little gentler?" Shiki took a deep drag of his cigar and glared at Kaido, who was now standing beside Shiki.

"None of your business! Even Commander Bob didn't say anything!" Kaido crossed his arms and shot back at Shiki.

However, this seemingly ordinary exchange left the pirates present utterly stunned.

Marco, Jozu and the others aside, the members of the Beast Pirates were all left with their jaws on the floor.

"Did... did our Governor just call him 'Commander Bob'?" King looked utterly incredulous as he exclaimed.

When he heard Sengoku recount that part of history, he had assumed that given the Governor current achievements, he must have been at least a commander during the Rocks era.

But to think he was actually just a subordinate of Bob and seemed to hold him in such high regard, addressing him as "Commander Bob" repeatedly.

"There's always someone greater!" Jack wasn't overly surprised, merely marveling at Bob strength, that even the Governor held him in such high regards.

He knew well that the Governor didn't take anyone in the world seriously—the title of the strongest creature on land, sea and air wasn't just for show!

"Hahaha!"

"Our Governor and Bob are on such good terms!"

"Given Bob's strength, does that mean we don't need to lift a finger?" Queen twitched his two yellow mustaches and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, the other two turned their eyes toward him, their lips twitching uncontrollably.
