After learning about the changes in Aquarius and confirming that she now has her own will and soul, a brand new "mind," she is truly an independent and unique human being.

Rob looked at Aquarius expectantly:

"Starting today, you are a real human being! I will also give you command of the other Seraphims. You need to take the Seraphims and the defense force of the entire Sky Islands with you. Protect the Paradise Archipelago well!"

"Aquarius, you are now the commander of all armed forces in the entire Paradise Archipelago!"

"This is the hometown and homeland where you were born, and it may be my country in the future. So, you should protect everything here and don't let any enemy destroy this place!"

"Can you do it?"

Aquarius looked serious:

"Yes, Master! I will absolutely not let anyone act recklessly in the Paradise Archipelago!"

Rob nodded with satisfaction and looked into Aquarius' eyes.

He said seriously:

"One more thing, I need you to practice Haki and activate all the potential in your body. Become a real 'peak' level warrior of the sea."

Letting Aquarius become a real human being, besides needing her to become the commander of all artificial weapons such as Seraphim and Terminator Legion of the entire Paradise Island, is also to see if she can awaken Haki. This is an important experiment!

Hearing Rob's request, Aquarius nodded:

"Yes, Master, don't worry. I will do my best to develop my strength and become a useful weapon that can support you!"

Rob shook his head and looked at Aquarius:

"It's not 'weapon' but 'helper.' You twelve Seraphims are all special, and you are even more special among them. Now you have transformed into a real person!"

"Don't call yourself 'weapon' anymore! Use 'helper,' 'subordinate,' or anything you like, but don't call yourself 'weapon'!"

Speaking of which, Rob paused with emotion:

"When I created you, I didn't treat you as 'weapons.' It's just because of various reasons that that you could not be called a human."

The previous Twelve Seraphims, including Aquarius, could only be regarded as half-finished people. 

A very strange statement, but that's how it is!

Hearing Rob's words, Aquarius blinked and then nodded slightly:

"This subordinate understands!"

Quickly, after having a good conversation with Aquarius and arranging some initial tasks for her, Rob let her go.

Neither Rob nor Robin, Uta, or Makino were willing to intervene too much in these trivial matters, so they handed everything over to Aquarius.

Would Aquarius have a problem with loyalty after becoming human? Rob had considered this early on. With his personality, no one would believe he didn't have any defensive measures. Even without them, with Rob's improved strength, there was no need to worry at all.

Quickly, after accepting all the defense forces of the Paradise Archipelago from Rob and the others, Aquarius showed excellent management capabilities. In just three days, the entire Paradise Archipelago were arranged in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Aquarius began to awaken Haki, practice sword skills, and develop the various powerful Devil Fruit abilities they were born with.

The Twelve Seraphims are special not only because each of them is unique but also because they are natural Devil Fruit users without weaknesses. However, it was unfortunate that they couldn't possess the power of Haki.

Time passed. Half a year went by.

Under Aquarius's planning, the Paradise Archipelago expanded. Apart from the central Paradise Archipelago and the Twelve Seraph Islands guarding it, more large and small islands were distributed in defense circles throughout the Paradise Archipelago's sea area.

In the past six months, facilities initially concentrated on Paradise Island and Twelve Seraph Island, except for the core research room, began transferring to other islands. Shipbuilding bases, such as those for producing heavenly warships and some unimportant models of man-made tools, were relocated.

Additionally, Rob cultivated a new sub-level, seventy-two capable angels based on the special individuals of the Twelve Seraphs, placing six under each Seraph.

As for various types of man-made weapons and tools, Rob left them to Aquarius and the Twelve Seraphims to manage.

On Paradise Island, Rob stepped on a golden cloud of flames, flying high above the sky. With a helpless expression, he said:

"I feel that after handing the Paradise Islands over to Aquarius, it's been expanding more and more! If this continues—and we don't build a country, it seems we'll waste their efforts!"

Although Rob didn't pay much attention to the specifics, he still had a general understanding of the situation. Over the past six months, Aquarius had produced a significant number of T1-type terminators.

Besides that, there were also many man-made tools. Otherwise, the Paradise Archipelago, which had grown to a total of fifty-six islands, would not have been able to produce so many things.

Did it cost a lot of berries? Rob wasn't sure. Anyway, the previous ransom of 10 billion berries, along with selling a large number of man-made Devil Fruits in the underground world, and Robin's many legitimate businesses, had earned a lot of money, which was repeatedly invested in the development of the Paradise Archipelago.

At this time, Rob understood it. Whether it was Aquarius, Robin, Uta, or Makino, they were all working hard to build an armed country with absolute force!

"If the country is to be established, then the country will be established!" Rob said with a thoughtful smile.

"After playing the invincible style, it seems very good to play the farming style!"

In his previous time, he could barely be considered as playing a steady invincible style. Now, looking at the development of the Paradise Archipelago , his future play on the sea might change into a violent farming style!

Honestly, this feeling was quite interesting!

…

Time passed. Another half-year went by.

This day, in Rob's lab on Paradise Island, Rob looked at Robin standing beside him. He pointed to a bunch of man-made Devil Fruits randomly placed on the table:

"Glint-Glint Fruit, Ice-Ice Fruit, Magma-Magma Fruit, which Logia Devil Fruit do you choose?"

Rubbing her chin, Robin hesitated for a moment. She picked up the Faux Ice-Ice Fruit:

"This one!"

Compared to the fighters focusing on ultimate attacks, Robin preferred the elegant control system. The ability of her Flower-Flower Fruit, combined with the coldness of the Ice-Ice Fruit and her Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix, made Robin a formidable control system user.

Taking the Faux Ice-Ice Fruit, Rob smiled:

"Whatever you choose! That's it!"

Accompanied by the activation of the fifth talent, the extreme sublimation, the white light merged into the man-made Ice-Ice Fruit, removing all the side effects of the fruit before handing it to Robin.

While eating the Ice-Ice Fruit, Robin looked at Rob:

"When are we going to find the Big Mom Pirates?"

This was the plan they had made before—to start with the Big Mom Pirates first and get all the poneglyphs that exist with the Big Mom Pirates. After that, they would continue developing in Wano Country and even buy make common zoan artificial Devil Fruits from the Beasts Pirates!

Hearing Robin's question, Rob frowned, then smiled softly and reached out to touch Robin's long-haired head.

With a smile, he said:

"Can't wait? Want to get the last few pieces of the poneglyph?"

Robin nodded after eating the artificial Ice-Ice Fruit and said:

"A little impatient!" Robin's eyes twinkled.

Rob's face showed a thoughtful look:

"Familiarize yourself with the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit for a month first. Let Aquarius prepare. One month later, we will attack Totto Land and make all the territories of the Big Mom Pirates ours!"

Eh—

Hearing Rob's words, Robin was stunned for a moment:

"Isn't it just to get the poneglyph? Why do we have to take over all the territories of the entire Big Mom Pirates?"

Rob nodded, taking it for granted:

"Hmm! Aren't the recent development models you're using are based on the standard of establishing a country? But what kind of country is a country without people?"

"We will accept all the territories of the Big Mom Pirates!"

There was a pause, and Rob's gaze turned serious:

"Since we're doing this, let's do it thoroughly—not just everything about the Big Mom Pirates, but also everything from the Beasts Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates. We will take it all!"

"And then the territories owned by the Marines—we will take those too, turning the entire New World into our domain!"

After hearing what Rob said, Robin's beautiful eyes sparkled:

"As expected of you, this ambition is truly massive! But, can we do it?"

Rob's eyes twinkled, and the corner of his mouth rose:

"If you don't try, how will you know if you can do it?"

"This sea area of the New World—there's no need for a second voice! Those who can call the shots, we are enough! The 'Four Emperors'? They are no longer needed!"
