One Piece: With Sign-in System

"Is all of this true?! So, the real history I'm searching for… it's on that island?"

"It seems so."

Robin felt a profound sense of shock.

"Raftel…, Hmm"

The end of the Grand Line, the hidden place of One Piece, the dream island that every pirate aspires to reach.

Could it also hold her dreams?

"This is all I know about the historical tablets. I hope it helps you."

Ron stood up from the chair and walked past her.

"I'll be spending some time in the gravity chamber. Keep an eye on things, and if anything happens, come get me."

"I understand."

Inside the gravity chamber.

Under 15 times gravity.

Wearing a weighted steel vest, Ron performed push-ups, sweat dripping like rain, with the blood in his body pumping like a forge.

"System, show me my status panel."

[Understood.]

After the battles in Skypiea and Arabasta, Ron's swordsmanship had advanced further, progressing from the entry level of Iron Cutting to a minor achievement in the same realm—a significant improvement.

In terms of vitality, each step of progress was becoming more difficult.

Over the past three months, even with the two intense battles, Ron's vitality had only increased by just over a hundred points.

Now, under 15 times gravity, it took him two full days of training to gain a single point of vitality.

Both Armament and Observation Haki were currently at a standstill.

The awakening of Conqueror's Haki still seemed far off.

Ron appeared to have hit a bottleneck in his power development. Until he could break through this barrier, he wouldn't be able to achieve the same leaps in strength as before.

Under the 15 times gravity, with sweat pouring down like rain, Ron held himself up with only two fingers supporting his entire body. He exhaled a long breath as if trying to expel every last bit of air from his lungs.

He closed his eyes, focusing on the flow of Haki within him.

He pondered how to make his Haki flow smoothly at will.

If he could reach the third stage of Armament Haki—Ryou, as described by Rayleigh—then perhaps he could shatter his current bottleneck and raise his overall strength by an entire level.

But achieving that was difficult.

Especially without anyone to guide him, Ron couldn't even grasp the first hints of Ryou.

…

The Traveler continued its journey through the Grand Line for another half month.

During this time, Robin became accustomed to life on the ship and grew increasingly at ease with Conis and Ron.

After Kung Fu Dugong, Enzo, got used to wearing a 10-kilogram weighted steel vest, Ron upgraded it to a 20-kilogram one and even began blindfolding Enzo, while having Conis control a steel ball to attack it.

This dual-purpose training aimed to enhance Enzo's sensory perception and improve Conis' control skills. It was a win-win situation.

Robin, too, remained active on the ship.

She began collecting various news from across the seas through newspaper-delivering gulls.

If her dream lay at Raftel, at the end of the Grand Line, she would inevitably encounter many powerful forces along the way. Gathering intelligence on them in advance was essential preparation.

One day, after weathering a fierce storm, the sky cleared to a bright blue.

Wearing sunglasses, white denim shorts, a hooded short-sleeved jacket, and her hair tied in a ponytail, Robin sat on a deck chair with a newspaper in her hands, looking like she was on a beach vacation.

"Time to eat."

Conis, followed by Enzo the Kung Fu Dugong, who was always wearing his weighted steel vest, came out of the cabin carrying several plates of food, setting them on the table in front of Robin.

"It smells delicious."

Robin looked up. "What is this?"

With her waist-length blonde hair tied back with a red ribbon and wearing an apron, Conis smiled and replied:

"Sky Island's specialty tropical set — baked sea shell pasta, mixed rice with marinated meat, jam-filled toast, and vegetable soup."

"Mm! Mm-hmm!"

Enzo, at Conis' feet, echoed with enthusiasm.

"What a feast. Thank you for the effort, Conis," Robin said with a smile.

"It's no trouble."

Conis returned the smile.

Robin set her newspaper aside, pushed her sunglasses up onto her forehead, and sat down at the table, ready to enjoy the meal.

Su, the cloud fox, had already leapt onto a chair, eager for the food.

After setting down the cutlery, Conis glanced toward the cabin. "Where's our captain?"

"He's probably still in the mechanics room. I think he mentioned building something today," Robin guessed.

Enzo raised his flipper. "Hmm-mm, mmm! (I'll go get Master!)"

With that, Enzo hopped toward the mechanics room.

Before he could reach the iron door, Ron emerged, wearing a work uniform with messy hair and smudges of oil on his face.

"Mm-mm, Hmm! (Master, it's time to eat!)"

Enzo hurried to his feet, looking up and calling out eagerly.

"I know."

Ron stretched lazily under the warm sunlight and called down to Robin and Conis on the deck, "You two go ahead and eat. I'm going to take a shower."

Just as he was about to head toward the bath, he paused.

"Oh, right."

Robin and Conis looked at him curiously.

Ron reached into his pocket, pulled out a black bow tie, and fastened it around Enzo's neck.

"Hmm?"

Enzo tilted his head, puzzled.

After adjusting the tie, Ron flicked Enzo's forehead with his finger.

Snap!

"Ow, that hurts, Master! What was that for?"

Enzo rubbed his forehead with a short flipper, confused.

But instead of the usual "Mm-mm, mm" sounds, what came from his mouth was clear, fluent human speech!
