Cyrus had always paid close attention to this innate ability of his.
After a year of training in Shimotsuki Village, Unyielding's duration had increased from the initial ten minutes to fifteen minutes.
However, the most crucial part, the cooldown, hadn't changed that time; it was still twenty-four hours.
But this time, possibly because his constitution had broken through a limit, as his constitution improved, Unyielding's cooldown was directly reduced from twenty-four hours to eighteen hours.
Although there was still a huge gap compared to its duration, it showed that as his strength increased, the activation of Unyielding might truly become perfectly self-sustaining.
And by then, what he would possess would be a truly immortal body.
At that point, nothing external would matter.
However, based on the current situation, if he could really reach that level, he would probably be invincible even in his normal state.
Beside him, Robin rested her face on Cyrus's shoulder and looked up at his face, noticing a thoughtful expression.
She didn't disturb him, though she was very curious about what he was thinking.
The merchant ship continued its voyage, and Cyrus and Robin spent a relatively leisurely time.
Since coming to this world, Cyrus had never truly quieted down like this.
He had a beauty by his side, and the food on the merchant ship was better than what he ate when sailing before, or at least more varied.
And taking advantage of this time, Cyrus gained a clearer understanding of his own power.
It seemed that after a period of being busy, rest was indeed necessary.

...
All the various abilities he had mastered had made considerable progress.
Even the black blade evolution of Flame had improved greatly, his mastery of the Three Colors of Haki techniques had also seen a significant boost, and he had also mastered the techniques of Baji Quan.
Regarding this, Cyrus had only been experimenting at first.
But with his strong control over his own body, mastering this power-generation technique wasn't too difficult, yet the effect was surprisingly good.
Moreover, this technique could also be applied to his swordsmanship.
All in all, it was truly worthy of being something left behind by his ancestors.
Even after transmigrating, it was still of great help to him.
"Close-Body Leaning Strike!"
Robin let out a low shout and threw her supple body into Cyrus's arms.
However, with this strike, Cyrus's body didn't even sway.
Instead, Robin herself was bounced back and was about to be sent flying.
Cyrus directly raised an arm and wrapped it around Robin.
"Forget it, I'm not practicing anymore. It's completely useless against you."
Caught by Cyrus, Robin, who was already used to this feeling, spoke directly, clearly a bit discouraged.
"Look at you, saying that again!"
Cyrus released his arm and looked at Robin, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, and said with a light laugh.
"Who made me the boss?"
"I'm still older than you!"
Robin was actually starting to argue stubbornly.
This wasn't mature at all, not the mature big sister of the future.
Or rather, even when she became that mature big sister in the future, Robin's train of thought was sometimes abnormal.
The current Robin was just a young woman in her early twenties.
Being a bit goofy seemed normal.
Cyrus stroked his chin with one hand while sizing up Robin with a strange look.
And Robin felt completely uncomfortable under Cyrus's gaze.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Feeling very uneasy from being looked at, Robin said and was about to turn around.
"Together?" Cyrus asked directly.
"Sure!"
Hearing this, Robin turned her head and even raised her eyebrows provocatively at Cyrus.
'HUH!'
Cyrus's mouth hung open.
"No peeking tough. Also, you can't have your Observation Haki on!"
Seeing Cyrus's expression, Robin chuckled and spoke, then went directly to the cabin's bathroom.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before!" Cyrus said softly, then opened the door and left the cabin.
This merchant ship was quite luxurious and had a considerable number of guards.
They had encountered some pirates along the way, but Cyrus didn't even need to act; the guards took care of them directly.
Those ordinary pirates were really no match for these able-bodied guards.
"Mr. Cyrus!"
Someone else on the ship saw Cyrus and raised a hand in greeting with a smile.
Cyrus didn't put on airs and responded with a smile.
"Mr. Cyrus, would you like to try the jewel fish we just caught? This kind of delicacy is not often seen, but the price..."
The captain of the merchant ship's eyes lit up when he saw Cyrus, and he immediately walked over.
"Sure!"
Cyrus nodded in agreement.
This kind of thing had happened several times already.
The money came too easily, and Cyrus didn't value it much, so the captain saw him as a major client.
Whenever there was good food, he would come and ask, though the price was certainly more expensive than on an island.
In the merchant ship's dining hall, Robin, having showered, came and saw Cyrus and the table full of delicacies in front of him.
She skillfully sat down beside him.
"Why aren't you wearing your hat today?"
Cyrus was a little surprised to see Robin, who had changed her clothes, arrive with a bare face.
"I've thought it through. I can't hide forever. Who told me I'm following a powerful man now?" Robin said while picking up her utensils.
"That's good too. You look very pretty like this."
Cyrus nodded.
Robin's arrival attracted quite a few gazes, most of them surprised by her beauty.
However, upon seeing her sit next to Cyrus, they all retracted their gazes.
"Another big shot has emerged from our East Blue."
A voice suddenly rang out in the dining hall.
"After Pirate King Roger and Navy Hero Garp, another great figure is finally about to appear."
The speaker was clearly excited, and of course, seemed to have had too much to drink.
