The other mbers of the Rocks Pirates were quite puzzled by Bob actions.
Within the Rocks Pirates, each crew was in competition with the others.
Other crews were focused on how to expand their strength to secure more benefits in the next campaign.
It was rare to see soone like Bob, who significantly weakened his own team power.
However, despite their confusion, no one questioned Bob actions.
Because everything he did within the Rocks Pirates always ended up exceeding everyone expectations, producing unforeseen results.
The authority Bob had firmly established within the Rocks Pirates was like a brand, making people instinctively trust him.
....
As usual, Bob was exercising in his room.
Today 10-kiloter run was already completed, so only the indoor exercises remained.
After spending these days with the pirates and experiencing many events, Bob no longer felt the sa social anxiety he once did, even when running outside and being watched.
With the last push-up done, today workout was complete.
Clapping his hands, Bob stood up and looked in the mirror. The person reflected had a well-proportioned body with distinct muscle lines, sowhat resembling Saitama physique.
Looking at the treasures behind the person in the mirror, Bob raised an eyebrow. The phrase "resplendent and magnificent" was perfectly fitting.
According to Whitebeard initial assessnt, these treasures were worth at least 6 billion berries.
6 billion berries—what did that an? It was enough to live comfortably for dozens of lifetis, equivalent to two and a half heads of rocks.
But looking at this money, Bob didn't feel much joy, instead, he felt a bit reflective.
Because on this ship, this money was completely useless—it could only serve as decoration.
Back in his previous life, Bob had been a poor guy who wanted to live in luxury but had no money.
Now, in the pirate world, the situation was completely reversed—he had money but nowhere to spend it.
Thinking about this, Bob felt a sense of frustration.
Looking at his clothes in the mirror and the room's decor, they didn't match the treasures at all.
They didn't reflect the flamboyant style a nouveau riche like Bob should have.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Just as Bob was reflecting, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Quickly, throwing on a shirt, Bob didn't go to open the door but instead called out.
"Co in!"
The sound of the door opening followed.
A tall, muscular, and imposing man with horns on his head stood at the entrance.
"Commander!"
Hearing this, Kaido strode over to Bob without hesitation.
Looking at the room filled with treasures, even though he had seen it before, every ti he looked, five words would pop into his mind.
"Damn, he's rich!"
"Are you just going to leave these treasures piled up here? No security asures or anything? Aren't you worried soone might steal them?"
Kaido knew Bob didn't care much about money, but he didn't expect him to treat these celestial treasures like they were just random junk piled up like this!
"Here, I am the greatest security asure!"
"Is there anyone on this ship who would dare to take my things?"
Bob sat down at the table and spoke slowly.
Within the Rocks Pirates, apart from the captain who was sowhat troubleso, Bob was the only one who could confidently say that no one dared to provoke him.
The captain, however, had little interest in such matters, so whether or not safety asures were in place didn't really matter.
After all, if you had the strength, you could throw the treasure on the deck and no one would dare to pick it up.
Moreover, when Bob wasn't around, there was always Jojolbaf to keep watch, and sotis Whitebeard would co by to help manage things.
So Bob wasn't worried at all about anyone coveting these treasures.
"Hahaha! Of course not!" Kaido said with a hint of frustration.
What Bob had just said was indeed true, and even Kaido couldn't muster any improper thoughts about the room full of treasures.
"What's up? What do you need from ?"
Bob looked at Kaido and got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Kaido smiled.
"Ever since I ate the Devil Fruit, I've felt my strength continuously increasing, but it always feels like it's not enough. I suspect it's because I've been training on the ship! I lack proper battles!"
"So I need to fight to enhance my strength!"
"And so?"
Bob raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
"On the Rocks ship, we can't engage in direct combat, and we can't use large-scale techniques! Otherwise, we'd damage the ship!"
"So I was thinking, maybe we could go out for a while! Look for opportunities!" Kaido went on.
"Oh!"
"So you're saying you want to co with you!"
Bob guessed Kaido intention and spoke up.
"You guessed it right away commander!" Kaido laughed at this point, complinting Bob.
"If you want to fight, just go! Why co to !"
Bob said with a hint of annoyance, as Kaido only called him "commander" when he needed sothing.
This kid Kaido was starting to learn how to flatter.
Hearing Bob words, Kaido chuckled and said.
"Recently, I got so news from other crew mbers!"
"On an island in the area ahead, there's a famous red-light district!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Kaido words, Bob lips curled into a slight smile, and he imdiately beca interested.
"Are there any beauties in the red-light district?"
"Yes, and many of them!"
Hearing this, Bob nodded.
He couldn't quite tell if Kaido really wanted to go out to fight and improve his strength, or if he just wanted to visit the red-light district.
But it didn't matter to Bob. Because he was interested! He had always heard that the entertainers in the red-light district were quite skilled, and this ti he might get a feast for the eyes! Plus, going out would also give him a chance to splurge a bit, otherwise, it was torture to see all this money with no place to spend it.
He really didn't want to be a miser forever.
"Well, since you want to improve your strength through battle, as your commander, how could I not supervise you properly!"
"After all, you're the main combat force of our team! Your strength increasing is good for the whole team!"
Bob cleared his throat, nodded, and said, "So, when do we go?"
Seeing that Bob had agreed, Kaido smiled and said.
"We can set off tomorrow, the island isn't far from our route!"
"Good! We'll set off tomorrow!"
