The days after Hancock boarded the ship became much happier than before.
Robin and Maple's rapport was too high. Not only did she bring Maple a very tranquil environment, but it also made the environment too peaceful.
Robin was someone who completely liked peace. Although Maple liked peace as well, his preference for peace wasn't as strong as Robin's. At most, he only liked peace.
So, Hancock's arrival injected new vitality into the tranquility. Maple felt that the atmosphere was different from before, and he felt that it was the right choice to let Hancock participate in this trip.
Hancock and Robin had an unusually harmonious relationship.
Of course.
That was only on the surface.
Because they were worried about causing Maple to dislike them, no matter if it was Hancock or Robin, they wouldn't show any discordant behavior in front of Maple, but they would always make small movements.
Under normal circumstances, when Hancock and Robin fought, it should be Robin who would suffer a lot, but the result was completely reversed.
On one hand, Robin was stronger than Hancock with Maple's chakra, and on the other hand, Robin's Hana no Mi (Hana no Mi) was much better than Hancock's Mero no Mi (Hana no Mi).
Mero no Mi (Mero no Mi) has no other use except to increase charm and petrify.
In contrast, Robin's Hana no Mi (Hana no Mi), just like its name, can play all kinds of fancy tricks, such as the ability to clone.
The clone of Hana no Mi (Hana no Mi) is completely different from the Shadow Clone. The clone and the main body are completely synchronized, and with Robin's powerful thinking ability, she can control both the main body and the clone of Hana no Mi at the same time.
The main body goes to cook, and the clone accompanies Maple and waits for orders, or the opposite, one of the clones goes to cook, the other reads, and the main body stays by Maple's side.
Just being able to stay by Maple's side all the time while doing the work of a maid, Hancock has completely surpassed Hancock, and it's difficult for Hancock to imitate her.
However, Hancock isn't someone who will easily admit defeat.
After discovering that she can't compare with Robin in these aspects, she focused on the refinement aspect.
Although Robin can stay by Maple's side and cook in the kitchen while doing two things at the same time, it's inevitable that the dishes won't be exquisite because of the distraction, so Hancock surpassed her in this aspect, and the dishes she makes are much more delicious.
And so, after Robin, Hancock took on the main responsibility of cooking.
Of course.
Maple would occasionally cook as well. Because of his talent, even if he learned a little, his cooking skills weren't much worse than Hancock and Robin's. Not only that, he could inject Nature's Energy into the dishes, making the taste and texture of the dishes far better than normal.
While he was cooking, Robin and Hancock would help him by the side. It's just that if he was the only one by the side, he would occasionally steal food or do other excessive things.
Maple didn't mind this.
This little bit of energy loss basically didn't affect him at all.
And considering that maintaining the balance between Hancock and Robin would make life more enjoyable, he balanced the amount of energy he gave to the two of them, allowing Hancock's strength to grow to the same level as Robin's.
However, due to her talent, Hancock was still able to grow even further. Every so often, she would surpass Robin slightly. And in order to maintain the balance, Maple would often tutor Robin.
Girls were quite unique creatures.
Before breaking through a certain boundary, they would be as pure as a piece of white paper. You wouldn't have the heart to teach them bad things, but after crossing a certain boundary, they would become even more playful than you.
Robin's most devious action was to stay by Maple's side and 'tutor' him while using the Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) to create a clone and intentionally go to Hancock's side to read a book.
Even Maple was in a daze at this.
Through the wall, he watched as Robin's Hana Hana Hana clone walked out onto the deck with a book. Robin's cheeks were slightly red as she calmly sat down on a rattan chair not far away from Hancock and started reading a book. Even her movements seemed to pause for a moment.
Since Hancock didn't want to cause Maple to dislike her, she and Robin never had any overt conflicts with each other. However, this type of small action never stopped. Even though more than half a year later, Hancock and Robin both realized that it was impossible for them to take everything from Maple, which caused these small actions to decrease in frequency, they still didn't completely disappear.
Time flew by.
While the three of them were traveling, they would always have new fun every day. This allowed Maple to maintain an excellent state of mind. They traveled from the East Sea to the West Sea, and finally to the North Sea.
Their trip to the four seas took a total of four years.
Not many things happened in the past four years, and there was no major turmoil in the whole world. The situation in the New World was still balanced, and the samurai of the Kingdom of Peace and the forces on the islands under Maple's flag were also restrained by Maple to not invade.
In the case of Whitebeard, Traveler, and Akagami (Red Hair), the three Yonkō (Four Emperors) are all defending their original territory and not expanding, the only BIGMOM is not willing to easily conflict with the other forces.
In fact.
After getting Ember and Kane, the strength of the BIGMOM Pirates has expanded and is almost no worse than the Whitebeard Pirates.
The reason why she was prevented from expanding and let her defend her territory was because she clearly knew the whole process of Maple defeating Hundred Beast Kaido from Kane.
This process made her very moved and she thought that people should not easily conflict with each other and it was good to maintain the current state of peace.
So.
The situation in the New World was unusually harmonious.
It is worth mentioning that the Marine Headquarters completed the reorganization, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Momousagi were promoted to Marine Headquarters Admiral, and the former Marine Admiral Sengoku succeeded as Marine Fleet Admiral.
Marines tried to attack the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates several times, but they were eventually forced to retreat by the powerful strength of the two pirate groups.
In the 17th year of the Great Age of Pirates.
That is, five years before Luffy went out to sea under the normal plot, O 'Hara completed a trip around the four seas.
Although the four seas were too big, most of the islands were not actually boarded. Only a few of the more distinctive islands were actually boarded, but a large number of books were still collected on the islands of the East, West, South, and North Seas.
The entire library has long been completely filled. Maple arranged a barrier in the library and transferred a larger part of the books to the barrier, which kept the library uncluttered.
That is, this year.
O 'Hara, which completed the journey of the four seas, once again entered the Grand Line along the Reverse Mountain. At this time, it has been five years since Maple left the Country of Peace and went to the East Blue.
