"Rayleigh, don't reveal my situation to Kevin, or I'll kill you," Shaki threatened Rayleigh.
Rayleigh chuckled a few times, "How could I tell him? The passage of time is something no one can change, not even Kevin. Telling him would only affect his mood."
Only then did Shaki feel relieved.
...
...
On the Tomorrow.
Kevin put down the phone.
"Shaki helped us a lot," Gion's voice reached Kevin's ears.
Kevin couldn't help but nod.
Without Shaki's intelligence, many things would be very troublesome for Kevin.
Moreover, Shaki gave without expecting anything in return.
"That Devil Fruit should be very useful to Shaki," Kevin thought of Shaki's situation.
He wondered if the Retrogress Fruit would be useful?
But it was in the hands of the Marine Rookie Ain, and it only temporarily reversed age, it wasn't permanent; it treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
There was another Devil Fruit that was even more suitable.
It was the Zoan-Bat Fruit-Mythical Vampire Form!
This was the Devil Fruit ability obtained by Red Count Barorick Ledfield in the original story.
It allowed the dying Red Count to absorb the lifespan of others by drinking their blood, allowing him to revert to his youthful appearance, and even his abilities could be restored to their youthful state!
For Shaki, the Vampire Form was the best Devil Fruit.
No other Devil Fruit was more suitable than it.
Furthermore, Kevin could guarantee one hundred percent that the Mythical Zoan Vampire form had not been eaten yet, and he still knew its location.
Red Count only found the Mythical Zoan Vampire form Devil Fruit in New World's Sleeping Ancient City after escaping from Impel Down.
The location was confirmed.
Kevin was determined to obtain this Devil Fruit.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Ope-Ope no Mi might still be unobtainable, but the success rate of obtaining this Devil Fruit was almost one hundred percent.
"Once I get the Mythical Zoan Vampire form, I'll give it to Shaki."
Kevin had already decided.
It wasn't to use this Devil Fruit as a favor to force Shaki to join the crew, but as a repayment.
"Red Count seemed to have used Nico Robin's knowledge to investigate ancient ruins and documents to find the Mythical Zoan Vampire form, so Nico Robin is needed."
Kevin quickly thought.
Nico Robin had always been among Kevin's targets.
The knowledge she possessed was very important.
Reading the Poneglyphs also required her.
Without her, he wouldn't be able to understand the Poneglyphs, and even if he obtained the Road Poneglyphs, he wouldn't be able to find the location of the Ultimate Island.
"Nico Robin should be in West Blue."
Kevin considered Nico Robin's location.
But at the current time.
There was no way to find out where Nico Robin was.
"Kevin, are you targeting the Devil Child Nico Robin?" Gion heard Kevin muttering to himself and said,
"Nico Robin has always been a pirate that the World Government and the Marines have been trying to completely wipe out. She's very smart and has never been caught. It will be very difficult for us to find her."
Such a massive force as the World Government.
For many years, they hadn't succeeded.
Gion was somewhat pessimistic about Kevin being able to find her in a short time.
"Why search?"
Kevin had already thought of a way.
Gion: "???"
"Gion, you go to Mignon Island, go as fast as possible. Once the Ope-Ope no Mi appears, get it. And I'll take the Tomorrow to West Blue to recruit Nico Robin. If you succeed, come find me. If I succeed in getting Nico Robin first, I'll come find you."
Kevin decided to split their forces.
The Ope-Ope no Mi couldn't be delayed.
If it was too late.
It might be eaten. Even if Gion went to Mignon Island to wait for a period of time in advance, it would prevent them from missing the Ope-Ope no Mi.
She could fly.
Coupled with her strong power, Gion was the most suitable to complete this task.
"Okay."
Gion confirmed the exact location, spread her wings, and left the Tomorrow.
The main force of the Sun and Moon Pirates headed to the West Blue.
On Reverse Mountain, the Tomorrow sailed towards the West Blue.
"Stussy, notify the Newspaper Companies and tell them that I will go to Budes Island, the most central island in the West Blue, and wait there for a month for Nico Robin; the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew wants her."
Instead of aimlessly searching for Nico Robin's location in the West Blue.
Why not let Nico Robin come herself?
To bait Nico Robin.
Those who wish to be caught will be.
"Will Nico Robin come?" Stussy was a little worried.
"She definitely will. In this vast ocean, she can only trust us, trust that we won't betray her due to pressure from the World Government," Kevin said confidently.
As long as Nico Robin.
Is as rational and intelligent as in the original story.
She will know that the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew is Nico Robin's best and most trustworthy choice.
She will definitely come.
Waiting on the most central island in the West Blue, as long as Nico Robin is in the West Blue, no matter how remote, she can arrive within the given time.
He also confirmed the locations of the Marine Headquarters' Admirals with Shaki.
During this time, the Admirals were very busy, escorting the Celestial Dragons back to the Holy Land.
Even if Marine Headquarters received the news.
It would be too late.
...
...
The Tomorrow quickly arrived in the West Blue.
Stussy was also contacting the News King and other Newspaper Companies, asking them to publish the news.
There was no need to negotiate with the Newspaper Companies.
The location, purpose, and actions of the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew were the biggest hot topic in the ocean right now; no Newspaper Companies would refuse.
The more Newspaper Companies.
The more it could be ensured that on any island in the West Blue, anyone who paid a little attention to the newspaper would get the news.
The news spread throughout the entire West Blue at the fastest speed.
