Chapter 83: The Future Ruler of Wano Country
Seeing that Robin had gone that far with her explanation, Yumesaki promptly shut his mouth, offering no further rebuttal.
Robin fell into deep thought. Since she had already let Crocodile go, she needed to decide who to recruit next. At that moment, a specific name surfaced in her mind.
Fujitora Issho.
The user of the Zushi Zushi no Mi and a future Admiral of the Navy.
He was truly a top-tier combat power. In terms of raw strength, he stood well above Crocodile—even the Crocodile of the future, who would eventually rediscover his Haki, would be no match for Fujitora.
Currently, he should still be wandering around some casino. After all, the man was a true gambler, a complete and utter gambling addict.
The problem, however, was that there were countless casinos in this world, and Robin had no idea which one Fujitora was currently frequenting. Thus, she could only turn to Yumesaki for help.
"Boss, could you give me a little hand?"
"With what?" Yumesaki glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
"I want to know the whereabouts of the future Navy Admiral, Fujitora. Can you locate him with your Clairvoyance?"
"Even if you ask me that..."
Yumesaki felt a bit helpless. His Clairvoyance magic could see across vast distances—he could see Wano Country, Dressrosa, the Sabaody Archipelago, and even Mary Geoise. However, searching for a specific country and searching for a single person were two entirely different matters.
The former was like looking for a continent in the middle of the ocean, while the latter was like looking for a needle in that same ocean. The difference made the task as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Robin realized this as well, so she offered a hint: "Boss, you could try searching for Gran Tesoro."
Gran Tesoro was the domain of Gild Tesoro.
It was a massive ship, over ten thousand meters long, constructed entirely of gold. The vessel was pulled by two giant island turtles and was capable of sailing through the Calm Belt. The city atop the ship boasted casinos, theaters, hotels, and various other entertainment facilities, earning it the title of the world's largest entertainment city.
At the same time, it was arguably the number one gambling den in the world. Given Fujitora Issho's profound love for gambling, it wouldn't be strange at all for him to appear there.
Yumesaki nodded and cast his Clairvoyance magic, scanning the New World. He quickly located Gran Tesoro. However, after scanning the massive gold ship several times, he shook his head.
"He's not there. I didn't find Fujitora Issho on Gran Tesoro."
Robin couldn't help but click her tongue. "It seems we'll have to ask someone else for help."
"Who?"
"Morgans."
The President of the World Economy Newspaper, a user of the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Albatross, and one of the Emperors of the Underworld.
His informants were scattered across the entire globe. While finding one person in the vast sea might be an impossible feat for others, for Morgans, it wasn't particularly difficult. The real challenge was how to catch his eye and persuade him to help.
Robin's eyes flashed as her mind raced, and she soon came up with a brilliant idea. She pulled out a Den Den Mushi and called Dragon.
"I want Morgans' contact information."
She was certain that with Dragon's status and information network, there was no way he didn't have a way to reach Morgans. Sure enough, after hearing Nico Robin's request, Dragon provided Morgans' number without hesitation.
Robin ended the call with Dragon and dialed Morgans.
"Hello, hello, hello! Morgans here. Who am I speaking to?" A short while later, Morgans answered the phone. This specific line was known only to a handful of people, all of whom were major figures on the world stage.
"I am Nico Robin."
Morgans stunned for a moment before bursting into a hearty laugh. "I see, I see! The survivor of Ohara, Miss Nico Robin. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Despite Nico Robin's life not being particularly easy before meeting the Straw Hat Pirates, her name was incredibly famous. The World Government knew her, the Yonko knew her, and even Morgans knew her. This was the charisma of a former top-tier figure.
"I have a big scoop I'd like to sell to you. I wonder if Mr. Morgans would be interested?"
"Oh? A big scoop? What kind of big scoop?"
"News regarding the defeat of the Yonko, Kaido."
"WHAAAT?!!!"
Morgans let out a hysterical scream. "Big news! This is truly big news!!!"
He didn't suspect Nico Robin of lying to him. On one hand, news like this was very easy to confirm; on the other, they were both prominent figures—there was no need to deceive him.
"Miss Robin, how did you come across this news?"
Nico Robin replied, "I am currently in Wano Country, witnessing the grand battle between Kaido and a Wano samurai with my own eyes. Right now, Kaido is in a difficult position. His defeat is only a matter of time."
"If your subordinates arrive a little faster, they might be able to see the end of this fight for themselves."
Morgans instantly became ecstatic. Kaido was fighting a Wano samurai? What kind of samurai in Wano was so powerful that they could fight a Yonko, or even suppress him? He couldn't miss this. He had to see this news for himself.
"Thank you for the information! I'm heading to Wano Country right now!" Morgans said hurriedly.
Robin smiled and said, "If you want to come, I can pick you up. Just tell me your location, and I can have you arrive in Wano at maximum speed."
Morgans' eyes lit up, and he immediately gave his coordinates.
Robin looked up at Yumesaki. Understanding the signal, Yumesaki cast his Clairvoyance magic, followed Nico Robin's instructions and Morgans' report, and quickly locked onto Morgans' location.
He raised his hand and pushed open an Air Door.
Behind the door stood Morgans, still holding his Den Den Mushi. He was startled to see a door made of air suddenly appear in front of him and subconsciously took two steps back. At the same time, Robin's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Look forward."
Morgans looked up and, through the Air Door, saw Robin standing on the other side. When Robin had first become a fugitive, she was just a young girl, but her adult appearance hadn't changed much from her childhood. Morgans recognized her instantly.
"Come through, Mr. Morgans," Robin said, putting down her Den Den Mushi. "Welcome to Wano Country."
Morgans stepped through the door, finding himself truly in Wano. His expression was one of complete disbelief.
"This is the Doa Doa no Mi... since when did it have this kind of range?"
In his memory, the fruit only allowed for short-distance movement. Could this be an Awakening?
Robin paid no mind to Morgans' rambling. She pointed toward Yumesaki and said, "Allow me to introduce you. This is Kazuma Yumesaki—my Boss, the one to whom the samurai hunting Kaido is loyal, and the future ruler of Wano Country."
Yumesaki looked on with a confused expression. Huh?
When exactly was he going to become the future ruler of Wano, and why was he just hearing about it now?
