Just then, Reno walked up to Nami and said.
"Huh?? A new robot??"
"What have you built now??"
Reno's words caught everyone's attention.
After all, they had personally witnessed Fire Thunder's strength.
If it came from Reno, it was definitely a masterpiece.
"Everyone, come with me."
Reno knew that everyone was very curious about the robot he had built, so he immediately called them over.
"Nami, let's go. Let him take care of Arlong."
Looking at Reno's sincere eyes, Nami felt a strange sense of trust.
Immediately after, everyone followed Reno to the forge.
As the door opened, a scent of rust filled the air.
A giant robot, nearly eight meters tall, came into everyone's view.
However, this robot was currently in a dormant state.
Everyone could not feel a trace of energy fluctuation from it.
"sugoi (amazing/great)!"
"This is too cool, isn't it???"
At this moment, Luffy had already eagerly used his Devil Fruit Ability to fly onto Rapid Edge.
That's right, this blue robot was Fire Thunder's partner, Rapid Edge.
Although the others weren't as exaggerated as Luffy, their gazes were firmly fixed on the blue robot in front of them.
"Reno, this is??"
Finally, Nami couldn't help but ask.
"Now, let me formally introduce him to everyone. His name is Rapid Edge."
"He is Fire Thunder's partner."
As he said this, Fire Thunder cooperatively walked up to Reno.
"How's my partner??"
To be honest, if they hadn't known that Fire Thunder was built by Reno,
no one would have believed he was a robot.
Because apart from his appearance, Fire Thunder was nothing like a robot in other aspects.
What shocked everyone the most was that Fire Thunder actually had an independent mind, no different from humans.
So, over this long period, everyone had already become good friends with Fire Thunder.
"Fire Thunder, what's your partner's name??"
"Is he as strong as you?? Is he really a match for Arlong??"
Hearing what Reno said, Nami eagerly asked.
"His name is Rapid Edge."
"In terms of strength, he's a little stronger than me."
"As for whether he's a match for Arlong, I'm not too sure."
"Mainly because I don't know Arlong's strength, but our combined ultimate skill is quite powerful, so we should be able to defeat him."
"what???? "
"Fire Thunder, what did you say? You and Rapid Edge also have a combined ultimate skill??"
Hearing his explanation, everyone was shocked.
Not only was Rapid Edge's strength greater than Fire Thunder's.
But the two of them also had a combined ultimate skill??
Wouldn't that make them incredibly powerful??
"Don't worry, Nami, with those two, a small Arlong is no problem at all."
With Reno's assurance, Nami finally relaxed.
After this period of interaction, Nami knew that Reno was not someone who spoke without reason.
"Alright, everyone, please step back a bit. I'm going to awaken him."
Reno gestured for everyone to make space for Rapid Edge.
