Vol. 05 Ch. 52 – Robin Vs Sabo+Koala

Hancock's experience and abilities are, of course, much higher than Law and Bepo's, so it's not difficult to know who is the winner from their sparring. But from this battle, it can be seen that Law and Bepo's abilities are getting stronger than before and they are not lazy while living in Mary Geoise.

With their current combined abilities, they can draw or even win from the Commodore marine, unlike the battle in the Sorbet Kingdom last year. Hancock is also quite satisfied with this fight as a warm-up.

Arthur: "I'm glad that you two weren't lazy at Mary Geoise, even though your techniques weren't maximal when used in real combat." Even though Arthur already knew that Law and Bepo would not win over Hancock, he still encouraged them both.

Hancock: "Lancelot! Did you see how great mom was? " Hancock immediately carried Lancelot who ran towards him.

Arthur: "Looks like Robin's fight against Sabo and Koala almost end." Their attention immediately shifted after hearing Arthur's words.

The battle this time can see the Zoan hybrid form of Robin, Sabo, and Koala. It is no stranger to the Zoan type devil fruit ability because it can increase the raw strength of the user's body. At first, the three of them only used their fighting techniques, Rokushiki, Gyojin Karate, Pole techniques, and hand-to-hand combat.

Robin: "Looks like Arthur didn't just randomly pick a match for this sparing. I can feel the development of both of your fighting techniques, I'm very proud. " Robin gave her opinion as she fended off Sabo's and Koala's attacks that cornered her.

Sabo: "Thank you, but we know that this is not enough, right, Koala?"

Koala: "Yes, I think it's time to get serious. Sabo! " Sabo and Koala jumped away after attacks from both directions they were unable to injure Robin.

Sabo: "[Body Clone]" Sabo who understood Koala's intention immediately created six clones from his hair.

Robin: "Hoo… your ability to use the Mythical Zoan technique is getting better, Sabo. [Cuerpo Fleur] "Robin also doubled himself after seeing his opponent count to eight.

While at Mary Geoise, it was Nico Robin who had the highest increase in strength among Arthur's wives. While Hancock and Monet can only focus on their devil fruit proficiency level, Nico Robin can train his body with [Cuerpo Fluer].

The stronger Nico Robin's body is, the stronger the organs she creates with Flower-Flower Fruit, and vice versa. [Cuerpo Fluer], Robin's technique where she multiplies her entire body. She trained and strengthened the body and duration of [Cuerpo Fluer]. Her copy's body was able to fight against Koala and Sabo's three [Body Clones], while Robin's real body fought Sabo and the remaining three [Body Clones].

Arthur: "Looks like Robin just playing with two of them." Arthur, who was still carrying Arthoria, created a chair for him to sit on.

Hancock: "She also wants to help Koala and Sabo. They both don't have a special deadly technique to end their battle fast, unlike Law. " Hancock who finished fighting carried Lancelot and also sat next to Arthur.

Arthur: "That way they'll start thinking and not necessarily train their bodies. Maybe it's time for me to give a second devil fruit to Sabo. "

Hancock: "Why did you choose Spark-Spark Fruit for Sabo, aren't there still many devil fruits that are stronger than that?"

Arthur: "I already discussed the second devil fruit option with all of them, and Sabo chose a fruit that was simple but helped his fighting technique. The Spark-Spark Fruit also has multiple uses and fits well with Sabo's Logia fruit plan. "

Hancock: "Looks like Robin will finish it now, but Monet's fight will definitely take longer to finish."

Sabo and Koala had exactly the same thoughts as Arthur. Even though they feel they are able to survive, they don't have the strength to end this battle with their victory. They continue to try to find loopholes from Robin and survive Robin's attacks.

Robin finally increased the level of difficulty for Sabo and Koala even with a simple technique. Robin creates hands near their feet and makes them lose their balance after tripping over Robin's hand. Apart from that, Robin also created a hand on Sabo's [Body Clone] back and sent [Shigan] and Busoshoku Haki attacks behind their heads. One by one, Sabo's [Body Clone] disappeared and in the end, the battle ended after their number advantage was lost.

Robin: "Your abilities are similar to mine, simple and balanced. Our technique is not flash and doesn't have great power like Law and Hancock, so you have to be able to think creatively as possible and beyond your opponent's expectations. " Robin stood in front of Sabo and Koala who were lying and panting.

Sabo: "Sigh ... Ours ... Sigh ... Haki ... Huft ... needs more training ..." With his gasping breath, Sabo uttered his close plan.

Robin: "It's true, Haki is really strong, with a high level of skill, little tricks like that will lose their usefulness. But it will be more difficult to achieve so not many are able to do it. " Robin agrees with Sabo but isn't really sure if they can afford it.

Koala: "Thank you ... Sigh ..." Koala is also aware of his shortcomings and is very grateful to Robin for showing that in this battle.

Robin: "Now get some rest, maybe you guys can learn something after this. Because Arthur is going to fight the three of us, fufufu. " Robin walked towards Arthur and didn't forget to bring Sabo and Koala by creating legs on their back.

Baby-5 immediately used his [Fairy Dust] to heal the wounds on Sabo and Koala's body. Merlin, who saw her mother coming, immediately crawled towards Robin. Robin also sat beside Arthur after carrying his son. The three of them saw Monet's unfinished fight.

Robin: "Looks like it's true that Monet's abilities are not suitable for direct combat like this." Robin immediately gave his comment after sitting next to Arthur.

Arthur: "Yes, but his mastery of the Swap-Swap Fruit ability can still be much more than this. If she can move quickly and precisely then continue with a fatal attack then Monet will be difficult to stop. "

Hancock: "I can imagine it, but I still think that her abilities are more useful outside of direct combat." Hancock also agreed with Robin's words.

Robin: "Is it true that you don't want her to join the fight, Arthur?" In her heart, Robin had this question ever since Arthur chose devil fruit for Monet.

Arthur: "Maybe in my heart, I think like that, Monet needs happiness, she doesn't have to sacrifice herself to be of use. Her life which was difficult before meeting me was enough and ... never mind. It also remains her own choice to choose. " Arthur remembers Monet's fate in the One Piece anime, she chose the wrong person to sacrifice everything she owned.
