After Jason finished speaking, he started to deal with the two fish in his hands, while Robin inspected the altar.
"This altar looks very old! It's at least 1,000 years old!"
"Oh, oh!"
"After dinner, come with me to go down and look for other buildings!"
"Uh-huh!"
"The historical article is also here, right? If they know their god, it should be on that god's side!"
"Oh, oh!"
Jason was concentrating on cooking super express shrimp and empty shark, and Robin only replied with two.
Robin: (⌒◡⌒ꐦ)
Slowly walking to him, Jason raised his head when he felt Robin coming over:
"Don't worry, Robin, you can eat it later!"
Robin took his face in both hands.
(#)•̌ 3 •̑(#) "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it. I'll go look for something with you after dinner!"
"That's pretty much it!"
He rubbed Robin's face hard twice and then let go. He didn't read a book, just quietly holding his chin and watching Robin's grilled fish.
Because there was too much meat, Jason didn't have enough tools, so he used the soul as a meat stick. Zoro would probably cut him to pieces if he saw it.
Of course, it's not just meat—there are also vegetables, fruits, and even a big pot of soup! The main thing in raising Robin to such a big size is nutritional balance!
"Okay, okay! It's time to eat! Try it, baby Robin!"
After roasting the meat, he used Yuhun as a table sword to cut a large plate of meat and handed it to Robin. There were also sliced fruits and barbecue sauce beside it!
This plate with Michelin sauce could make at least a hundred servings of the same barbecue, and each serving would cost ¥1999!
Robin took a bite:
"Hmm! It's delicious! Your cooking skills have improved again!"
"Uh-huh! I can't even figure out Juedou!" (I think so too)
Jason's mouth was already stuffed with grilled empty shark meat, and he couldn't speak clearly. The reason was simply because the texture and taste of the empty shark were the most delicious he had ever tasted!
The two of them were eating when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in Jason's mind!
"Ding! The upgrade of Bentongzi is completed! It is now the strongest training system 2.0! Host, did you miss me?"
Jason was stunned. It's been 10 years, a whole 10 years! He even thought that this awesome system would have to be upgraded for a lifetime! But he was still somewhat happy in his heart. After all, half of his current strength is because of the system.
"Long time no see, awesome system! Do you know how long it took you to upgrade this time?"
"This...it's only 10 years! System has time records! And don't call System a rubbish system! System is very powerful now, okay!"
"Then do you know what my strength is now?"
"I know this... too!"
"Then what's the use of me wanting you now? The little reward you gave me is the same as nothing to me!"
"Still...it's still useful! So what! This Tongzi has just been upgraded, and many functions still need to be improved, so hide it first! Host, remember to practice!"
"Tongzi? Tongzi? You just ran away?"
(▼盘▼#) When will this stupid system become more reliable? You are still practicing! You are a big-headed ghost!
He viciously took another bite of empty shark meat. Robin on the opposite side looked at him and found it extremely interesting.
After more than ten years, Jason finally broke down again. This expression of being dazed, gnashing his teeth, and occasionally surprised, had not appeared on Jason's face for a long time. She missed it!
After a while, a super fast shrimp and an empty shark were all eaten by the two, and the shrimp shells and fish bones were piled next to them.
Of course, most of it went into Jason's stomach.
Robin didn't even finish the large plate of empty shark meat.
In all these years, except for Luffy, Robin had never seen anyone who could eat as well as Jason! If he were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to support himself.
After dinner, Jason lay down on the beach chair to relax, while Robin still had coffee and a book!
Just after eating, Robin wanted to go down and look for other buildings. She is always proactive in this regard. However, Jason said that it is not suitable to exercise just after eating. Don't waste the great afternoon time and lie down for a while!
"Are they the two of you? Living sacrifices! You really don't know what fear is, and you are still eating unscrupulously at the altar!"
The person who came was none other than one of the four god-tier officials Enel sat down at, Priest Shura, also known as the Knight of Heaven.
"So ugly!"
Robin put down the book, looked up, gave her own evaluation, and then stopped looking at him.
Jason had noticed that he was coming a long time ago, but in his perception, this guy was really weak. If he hadn't been lying down and couldn't take action, he wouldn't even have the desire to get up.
He was thinking about the system at the moment. He tried shouting several times but got no response, so he had no intention of paying attention to him. He would only be interested if Enel came.
The priest Shura opposite could not help but feel angry when he saw the two people's indifferent attitude, especially the woman who dared to call him ugly!
"You actually have such an attitude! It really makes people angry! In this case! I must be ready to die!"
Priest Shura rode his mount and rushed towards Robin. Before he even got close, Se Haki predicted Jason's move.
"Kick in the chest! No, it's changed!"
He muttered something and ducked to the side. His expression changed drastically just as he was dodging, and then with a "bang," the man and the bird flew out and hit the tree next to the river.
"How is it possible? How could it change even though it was already predicted? Is he also a user of the Heart Network?"
Shura, who hit the tree, was not seriously injured, but was a little sore. Of course, this was also the reason why Jason didn't hit hard. This guy should have a good tongue.
"What's going on? You have to dodge even if you see through it! It's amazing to be able to predict the trajectory of your attack. Have you asked me if you're going to attack my baby Robin?"
Jason looked like a villain while carrying Yuhun with a sullen expression!
"As expected, are you also a user of the Heart Network? Interesting, this time the living sacrifice should be much more fun to kill than before! But this level of kicking can't kill me!"
Shura did not believe in evil, so he picked up the Fire Spear that fell aside, mounted his mount again, and rushed towards Jason.
As Jason approached, his mount released a burst of fire, and he prepared to take down Robin in one decisive strike.
"Since the Heart Net can't catch you, you can't attack me if you stay in the air! I'm the priest known as the Knight of the Sky! Turn me into ashes!"
"You are useless people who only rely on external forces. You are nothing after losing the shellfish. I hate people like you the most!"
Jason's calm voice echoed. He knew that Enel was the only one on the island who genuinely relied on his own ability to fight. The others relied on various shellfish, but their true strength was not impressive.
He would understand if it was just for the convenience of walking, adding a ventilation shell or something to the shoes, but it was too absurd to use other shellfish for all attack methods.
Just as the flames were approaching the altar, Jason took out an exhaust shell that he had snatched from someone else and blew the fire back.
It smelled so good! Watching the priest Shura hurriedly dodge the flames of his mount, Jason happily put the exhaust shell back into his pocket.
"Pfft... hahaha!"
Robin couldn't help laughing as she looked at him. Just now, he said he looked down on such people, but then he turned around and started using it himself!
"Robin, baby, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What?"
"That's right! People will eventually live in the way they hate the most!"
Robin: (◦`~ ́◦) "You're the only one who makes up so many lies!"
"You actually chatted as if no one else was there during the battle, ignoring my presence so much! Don't regret it until you die!"
Priest Shura was enraged and charged towards Jason on his large bird.
Jason was prepared. He couldn't kill the priest for the time being, but his mount was a different story! He vanished right in front of Shura's incredulous eyes. Shura hurriedly stopped and looked around, unable to find Jason.
Jason was already at his side when he reappeared, delivering a kick to the neck of Shura's mount with a crisp click.
The mount's neck bent to a 90-degree angle, and it fell straight down with a mournful cry. The big bird "Peng" crashed directly into the river, where it was devoured by the frenzied sky sharks, staining the river with its remains.
Priest Shura jumped away before he fell into the water, now standing on the altar and breathing heavily.
"What a danger! What kind of monster is this guy? Even as a priest, I can't do anything to him!"
"Are priests supposed to be great?"
"Nani! When?!"
Priest Shura was shocked because Jason had appeared behind him without him noticing.
He quickly turned around and retreated several steps, picking up the Fire Spear that had fallen on the ground and assuming a defensive posture, staring at Jason intensely.
"How can we fix this! My inner network has been disrupted! This is going to be difficult!"
"Ha! Drop that attitude of yours. You can't maintain focus on using Haki when you encounter a slight setback! You're not even worthy of me using my sword!"
Jason's words struck Shura with immense humiliation, and he could only grit his teeth as he launched another attack, trying to defend his dignity as a priest. Jason's expression remained cold, as if he had no emotion whatsoever.
Facing the charging Shura, he merely dodged slightly and then slapped the Fire Spear Shura used to attack, breaking it into two pieces.
Then, in Shura's shocked gaze, Jason's outstretched hand clenched into a fist. He swung back and delivered a punch to Shura's stomach.
Priest Shura opened his mouth wide and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He flew backward at a speed much faster than when he had charged, crashing into the altar. The stones scattered as he momentarily lost consciousness.
"Done! Hey! Robin, baby, I'm so good!"
After seeing Shura fly away, Jason's cold demeanor instantly shifted to an exuberant expression, and he ran to Robin's side, eager for praise.
Robin only rolled her eyes at him. She could have handled such a small opponent herself! How dare he boast? Spoiling him was not an option!
Seeing that Robin didn't praise him, Jason wasn't discouraged. He left the boat to drag Shura back on board, with both Robin and Jason observing him.
About ten minutes later, Shura slowly regained consciousness.
The first thing he saw was Jason's face up close, startling him to retreat quickly. But aside from kicking his legs, he was helpless now, as Jason had bound him with iron chains as thick as a bowl.
"Baby Robin, he's awake! Didn't I tell you I knew what I was doing? Praise me!"
"Yes, yes, my Jason is the most powerful!"
Robin put down her book and praised Jason half-heartedly, then calmly approached the captive priest Shura.
"Hahahaha!"
Jason beamed with genuine happiness from Robin's reluctant praise and stepped aside to let her take over.
Robin then asked Shura the same questions she had posed to the White Beret captain earlier.
Of course, Shura initially refused to cooperate, but he eventually broke under Jason's relentless methods of extracting information.
Jason was no stranger to the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty; how could such a simple task of interrogation possibly stump him?
In reality, he merely described Ling Chi and mentioned beating Shura senseless before feeding him his own flesh. This priest was not nearly as tough as he pretended to be.
In the end, they got the information they needed.
There was indeed a massive ruin to the south. You could reach it by heading straight south!
The shrine of the Almighty God Enel was also located there. Whether it was the Golden Land or not remained uncertain, but there was certainly a great deal of gold—though most of it had already been taken. Shura had never heard of the Poneglyph, let alone seen it.
Furthermore, it turned out that this island was actually the other half of Jaya Island, carried skyward by the rising sea currents. This revelation didn't come from Shura, but rather Robin's own deduction.
After completing her questioning, Robin sank into deep thought. Jason watched her without saying a word. Even Shura, who tried to speak, was swiftly knocked unconscious by Jason's powerful Conqueror's Haki.
"What's the plan, baby Robin? Where should we go first?"
When Robin finally emerged from her thoughts and Jason inquired, she paused momentarily before replying:
"Head directly south, as he suggested. This kind of thing has to be seen with our own eyes to confirm! I'm just not sure if this guy was leading us into a trap. What if it's a dangerous spot?"
"As long as the direction is correct, we should be fine. I doubt there's anything on this sky island capable of ambushing and killing the two of us!"
"Alright, then let's go! Even if it's not what we expect, we can always return!"
"Okay! When do we head out?"
"Right now!"
Robin couldn't wait, and Jason didn't object. After all, they'd had enough rest and even gotten some exercise!
As for the priest Shura, of course, he was finished. He had come to kill them, and Jason and Robin had no intention of sparing him. They didn't even leave a body behind, tossing it into the river to feed the sky sharks.
The two packed up quickly and began running south, Jason still lugging his large bag of fruit. Enel could wait; they were bound to run into him eventually. Right now, he had to focus on helping Robin!
Meanwhile, Luffy and the others had also set foot on the path to Upper Yard. They, too, had dealt with the White Berets, albeit from a different group.
After dispatching the White Berets, they boarded the Going Merry and set their course towards Upper Yard.
In the lower part of the White Sea, the Shandia warrior Wiper was holding a meeting with the other Shandia warriors when the little girl Aisa burst in!
"What's wrong, Aisa? We're discussing how to reclaim Shandora from Enel! This isn't a place for you!"
Laki, being gentler, tried to comfort her softly.
"A voice disappeared! It was the priest's!"
Upon hearing this, Wiper and the others sat up straight.
"Are you certain?"
