Robin looked at Naruto with eyes full of anticipation.
Afraid he might refuse, a hint of pleading flashed in her gaze.
"My Devil Fruit ability is really nice to look at too…"
Naruto chuckled and reached out to gently ruffle Robin's hair. "Then let me see it, Robin-chan's Devil Fruit power."
Hearing his agreement, Robin immediately lit up, nodding with excitement.
"Okay!"
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said:
"Hana Hana no Mi – Cien Fleurs!"
In that moment, two arms sprouted from her shoulders, and from the palms of those hands, another set of arms grew out.
As Naruto watched, amused and fascinated, he suddenly felt something touching his shoulders.
He turned his head—only to see that two arms had sprouted from a tree trunk behind him and were now giving him a massage.
A few seconds later, all the summoned arms turned into petals and vanished.
"W-What did you think, Naruto?"
Robin asked nervously, her eyes looking up at him with anxious expectation.
"I think it's great!" Naruto smiled, turning to face her. "It's such an interesting power—you could really help a lot of people with it."
"Really!?"
Robin's face lit up with joy.
"Of course!"
Naruto nodded earnestly.
He genuinely felt that the Hana Hana no Mi had enormous potential—and not just in combat.
At the very least, just using it for massage would be enough for Robin to run an entire wellness business by herself.
And if she learned Haki? Then the Hana Hana no Mi would become one of the deadliest assassination tools in the world.
"That's wonderful!"
Robin jumped up with joy.
Naruto raised a brow and asked, "Robin-chan, has anyone ever said they dislike your ability?"
Robin froze. Her expression dimmed as she looked down and replied softly:
"Yeah… people around here call me a 'monster girl' because of it…"
Naruto wasn't surprised at all.
Because whether in the One Piece world or the Naruto world, most commoners were ignorant and afraid.
They'd often label any unusual power as evil, and anyone who had it as a monster.
Naruto smiled and casually opened two air doors beside them and said:
"You're not a monster at all, Robin-chan. You're a lovely girl. This power—it's a blessing from the sea."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
A bright smile returned to Robin's face.
Moments later, Naruto flipped over the grilling meat—the sizzling aroma grew stronger and more mouthwatering by the second.
Just as he was about to eat, he noticed Robin swallowing hungrily beside him.
He couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Robin-chan, come eat with me!"
Robin immediately shook her head, hugging her book tightly and saying seriously:
"That's your food, Naruto. I didn't pay for it, so I shouldn't eat it."
"It's fine!" Naruto gently pulled her over with a smile.
"I grabbed these from the ship right before the storm hit. They all spoil quickly anyway—if you don't eat them, they'll go to waste."
He even took out a pile of additional grilled meat to prove he had plenty of stock.
Only then did Robin nod in gratitude.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun."
And so, the boy and girl sat side by side on a tree stump, devouring grilled meat and all kinds of delicious food Naruto had brought out.
But as they ate, Naruto's movements gradually slowed.
He stared in disbelief at the little dark-skinned girl across from him.
She only looked slightly taller than him, yet she'd eaten more than he had—devouring dozens of plates on her own.
"Is it… because of the higher oxygen levels?" Naruto pondered.
His mind flashed back to his previous life, to Earth's Jurassic period.
During that era, Earth had extremely high oxygen levels, leading to the rise of massive animals like the Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Apatosaurus…
Given how high the oxygen concentration was in the One Piece world, it likely had a similar effect on human physiology.
Not to mention those giant clans that stood dozens of meters tall…
Even people like Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro—who had regular builds—possessed outrageous strength.
They could eat literal tons of food in one sitting, and a single punch could flatten a mountain.
That had to be partly due to the atmospheric conditions.
"If I stay in this world long-term… maybe this world will transform my body too…"
Naruto's eyes began to glow with anticipation.
He thought about the monstrous physical traits of this world.
If he could obtain such a physique—combined with his ninja techniques…
Shhhk!
Naruto sucked in a sharp breath—he couldn't even imagine how strong he might become.
Three types of Haki + Night Guy—one kick might even flatten the Red Line.
…
An hour passed quickly.
Naruto was already full, and now sat quietly, flipping grilled meat for Robin.
The shy, calm, dark-skinned girl blushed, clearly embarrassed, but she couldn't resist the aroma and kept eating.
By the end, she had devoured half of Naruto's grilled meat.
"Thank you so much, Naruto-kun!"
Robin's eyes sparkled with gratitude. She had never eaten food this good in her life.
Naruto smiled and waved it off, but the girl still felt a little guilty.
She insisted on cleaning up the dishes, and after getting his permission, she took the trays and ran off toward the beach.
Watching the little girl run off, Naruto retracted his gaze and muttered to himself:
"Robin's seven years old now… I can't remember exactly when the Buster Call is issued, but it can't be far off…"
"I need to learn some jutsu before then—at least enough to keep myself and Robin safe…"
Kage Bunshin… Rasengan… Wind Release techniques…
…
Naruto opened an air door once again and stepped into the pocket space.
From the mountain of supplies he had stored, he dug out a giant scroll.
"Scroll of Seals…"
The blond boy's eyes burned with intensity.
This was Konoha's most precious treasure—the record of every forbidden jutsu created or collected since the village's founding.
In the original story, techniques like Raikiri, Hiraishin no Jutsu, Edo Tensei, Hachimon Tonkō, Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tags—they were all here.
Without a doubt, this was the most valuable thing he had stolen from Konoha.
With this scroll in hand—even if he never returned to the Hidden Leaf—he could still naturally rise to Kage-level strength.
"Let's see what I should learn first…"
Taking a deep breath, Naruto laid the scroll out on the grass and slowly unrolled it, revealing the techniques recorded within.
The very first one—
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" (Multi Shadow Clone Technique)
