Man in Pirates: Robin is my cousin? Chapter 076

This day, Ranpo received the latest newspaper.

He lay on Divi’s lap, looking at the news in the New World section. Nothing major had happened.

Then he flipped to the Grand Line and Four Seas sections, and a familiar face was printed in the corner of the East Blue section.

Monkey D. Luffy, first bounty, 30 million Berries.

He put down the newspaper, opened his mouth to take the fruit Divi offered, and muttered to himself, “Has the plot begun?”

A sense of crisis inexplicably rose in his heart.

The plot had begun, which meant that guy would soon awaken from his slumber.

He called up the system panel.

[Host: Nico Ranpo]

[Age: 34]

[Description: Your glabella is dark, there might be a bloody disaster!]

[Skills: Cooking LV 9 ( 344/50000), Twenty-Four Simple Tai Chi Forms LV 10 (max), Soru LV 9 ( 5241/50000), Rankyaku LV 9 ( 3334/50000), Tekkai LV 10 (max), Geppo LV 9 ( 2938/50000), Kami-e LV 9 ( 3426/50000), Shigan LV 9 ( 3478/50000), Observation Haki LV 7 ( 801/10000), Armament Haki LV 10 (max), Conqueror’s Haki LV 10 (max), Nothing Undefeatable LV 9 ( 0/50000)]

[Special Skills: Heavenly Eye, Roar of the Flame Dragon King, Lightning Armor]

[Physique: Immune to all poisons]

[Weapon: Monster Transformation • Hecatoncheires (inactive state)]

[Experience Points: 8356]

Looking at the almost maxed-out panel and the incongruous description, Ranpo always felt strange.

Was the system deliberately trying to scare him, or was it warning him?

Ranpo frowned slightly, considering whether he should run away.

With his current strength, at least three Admiral/Emperor-level combatants would be needed to threaten him.

But… his intuition told him that he needed to be careful lately.

Unfortunately, his Heavenly Eye was a low-tier version, only able to see a little further into the future than top-tier Observation Haki.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

“What are you thinking about? You’re so lost in thought.”

Divi handed him a fruit, and seeing Ranpo hadn’t opened his mouth for a long time, she stroked his head and asked.

“Nothing, just a small matter.”

Ranpo snapped back to reality, no longer thinking about these trivial things. Even if something happened, his ultimate defense made him fearless.

In the world of pirates, the possibility of experts being killed was too low; they all had HP as thick as if they had a health lock cheat.

Someone like him had even less to worry about being killed.

The only one he needed to worry about was Robin, but Robin had been wandering the seas for so many years, her escape skills were already perfected.

Without one or two top experts making a surprise attack, it would be impossible to catch her.

But for Robin alone, the World Government had no reason to mobilize top-tier experts to catch her.

“Click!”

The door was pushed open, and Gun-ko entered without knocking again.

“Lord Bellia.” Her tone was cold, her eyes calm; she was still the familiar Gun-ko.

“Uh…”

Ranpo was forced to stop thinking, reluctantly getting up from Divi’s fair knees.

“Is it time for sparring again?”

Gun-ko’s perseverance ranked at least among the top three of all the people he had met. She was punctual and unshakeable.

As long as he was on the Red Line, their weekly sparring and guidance sessions never stopped.

Gun-ko’s strength had been steadily improving, and Ranpo even believed that among the God’s Knights, no one could suppress her except himself.

“Tsk, come back early, I want to eat your cooking.”

Divi clicked her tongue, glancing at Gun-ko.

Years had passed, and the two of them still hadn’t become friends, but at least they didn’t fight on sight, which was already quite good.

“When did I become your chef?” Ranpo grumbled.

He had decided on a whim to max out his cooking skill in these few years, so he started taking over their three meals a day.

This woman, Divi, had become addicted to his cooking.

But to be fair, with his current cooking skills, there were probably only a handful of people in the entire pirate world who could compete with him.

As everyone knew, food in the pirate world had many, often exaggerated, functions.

When you were exhausted, you could quickly recover your stamina by eating a lot of meat.

When your bones were broken or you lost teeth, you could drink milk to recover.

And Ranpo’s cooking had gained special abilities since breaking through to LV 9.

The food he made was not only top-tier in taste, flavor, and appearance, but also top-tier in recovery speed, and even had the effect of temporarily boosting combat power.

Although the combat power increase was small, just having this function was already incredible enough.

To sum up his current cooking skills in two words:

Top-tier!

“Oh, be a good boy. Your cooking is so amazing, I can’t sleep a wink if I don’t eat your food for a day. It’s all your fault for being too good.”

Divi had an expression of coaxing a child, which was quite cute.

Seeing this, Ranpo snorted lightly, turned around, and walked out the door. Don’t think that praising him a little would make him happy.

He seemed indifferent, but the corners of his mouth were slowly curving upwards.

This… was Divi’s “Ranpo Taming Method” that she had summarized over the years!

She found that as long as she treated Ranpo like a child and said things he liked to hear, he would unexpectedly be easy to talk to.

In other words, he was soft-hearted, not hard-headed!

Relying on her summarized experience and techniques, she could even occasionally sit high above the clouds, making the World Nobles temporarily great.

She didn’t understand it, but she liked it very much, after all, this method was quite useful…

Soon, an afternoon passed.

In the underground training room, Gun-ko’s body was embedded in the Seastone-constructed wall, unable to move.

Her eyes drooped, her body was weak, and her consciousness seemed to be blurring.

The next second, a large hand pulled her out.

Ranpo put on his jacket. “That’s enough for today. You’ve reached a bottleneck now. Next time, I’ll probably have to increase the intensity for you.”

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the choice mission! You have received a reward of 200 experience points!]

A prompt sounded in his mind.

Every time he guided Gun-ko, the system would always give him some minor choice missions. Although the rewards weren’t much, it was better than nothing.

“Understood, Lord Bellia.”

Gun-ko recovered, slowly nodding, a flicker of light in her eyes.

She had reached a bottleneck again. With her next breakthrough, she should be able to shorten the distance between herself and Lord Bellia.

Ranpo had no idea that Gun-ko had always taken him as her goal, striving to become stronger with the purpose of surpassing and defeating him.

“Lord Bellia, can I have dinner at your house?” Gun-ko suddenly asked.

She had heard Divi tell Ranpo to go back early to cook, and a sudden thought occurred to her: she also wanted to taste his cooking.

Such a powerful man, and he still had time to learn how to cook?

“Hmm? Of course!”

As an excellent chef, Ranpo naturally didn’t mind others tasting his cooking.

It’s just that a certain woman would probably get jealous again…
