Leaving their ship at the island where the Happo Navy was stationed, Bob and Whitebeard boarded the Happo Navy pirate ship, having them lead the way to pursue the Roger Pirates.
The Happo Navy pirates on board, now aware of Bob and Whitebeard's identities, were too intimidated to breathe loudly, keeping their distance from the two.
Sitting on the edge of the ship, Bob enjoyed the sea breeze.
Chinjao sat at the bow, holding a map and a navigational guide, determining the ship's direction. His cone-shaped head was particularly striking.
Bob walked over to Chinjao, crossing his arms, and asked with interest.
"I heard your Armament Haki is exceptionally strong, and you have a nickname called 'Chinjao the Drill,' capable of breaking through anything with your head. Is that true?"
Bob remembered from the original story that during Chinjao peak, he had a battle with Garp the Fist. Although he lost, he could withstand Garp iron fists with his cone head for quite some time, indicating his strength wasn't to be underestimated.
Moreover, Chinjao was also a possessor of all three types of Haki.
Seeing Bob inquire about his proud cone head, Chinjao immediately became enthusiastic and said with pride.
"Of course! There's nothing in this world that I can't break through!"
Hearing Chinjao words, Bob smiled, thinking, You couldn't break through Garp fist.
"In that case, how about a little spar? I want to see if your strength is as legendary as they say. Is your cone head really capable of breaking through anything?"
Bob suddenly had the idea to test Chinjao cone head. Besides being genuinely curious about the hardness of the cone head, he also wanted to gauge his own current strength.
After all, since losing his hair, Bob hadn't had a proper fight.
"Hahahaha! It's an honor to spar with the commander of the Rocks Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of 1.7 billion Berries!" Hearing Bob words, Chinjao was very excited.
This young man had rapidly risen to fame on the seas. His strength was rumored to be exceptionally powerful among the pirates, and having a match with such a person was a great opportunity to improve his own strength.
"Then let's begin!" Bob said with a smile.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of the pirates, the two took their positions, ready to fight. One stood at the bow, the other at the stern.
Bob, with his hands in his pockets, looked calmly at Chinjao and said,
"You go first! Show me your most powerful move!"
Hearing this, Chinjao didn't hesitate at all, his aura suddenly exploding.
The flesh cone on his head instantly turned black, resembling an iron drill. He knew the person he was facing was formidable, and even if Bob hadn't said anything, he would have gone all out.
The next moment, Chinjao pushed off the ground, leaping into the air, and shouted
"Hasshoken: Drill Head!"
In the air, Chinjao body spun rapidly, locking onto Bob, and like a meteorite, he crashed down heavily towards him. The force of his entire body, combined with the power of his attack, made this move doubly powerful.
"Wow! It's our leader's ultimate move!"
"I didn't expect Leader Chinjao to go all out right from the start!"
"Like a human drill, the power must be terrifying!"
"I wonder how the opponent will handle it."
The watching pirates couldn't help but discuss as they saw Chinjao immediately use his ultimate move.
Bob, seeing the situation, slowly raised his hand without even using Armament Haki.
Just as Chinjao was about to collide with him, he aimed at the hard cone and lightly flicked it with his index finger.
"Head Flick!"
"Clang!"
A sound like striking iron rang out, and Chinjao couldn't hold on for even a second. His body went flying like a cannonball, crashing into the deck and creating a human-shaped crater.
"Don Chinjao lose!" The pirates who witnessed this scene exclaimed in shock.
A few minutes later, Chinjao crawled out of the hole in a disheveled state, his face filled with unwillingness. He was even more astonished internally.
Is this the great pirate with a bounty of 1.7 billion?
His signature technique was actually countered with just a single finger, and he was completely powerless to fight back.
"Don Chinjao, your head..."
"Don Chinjao, your head seems..."
The pirates, seeing Chinjao crawling out of the hole, all had extremely grim expressions. They urged Chinjao to check his head.
Hearing the pirat' murmurs, Chinjao expression changed slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. With a nervous feeling, he reached up to touch his head. There was... nothing there!
"What the hell?!"
At this moment, Chinjao was completely stunned. After a while, he snapped out of it, and despair and anger took over his mind. He turned sharply to look at Bob.
"You bastard, give me back my head cone!"
In this New World, Chinjao pride, his iron cone, was gone, which meant his strength was greatly diminished. And most importantly, the treasures he had plundered were hidden in a glacier that could only be opened with his head cone. Now that the cone was gone, the treasures were lost too, which was worse than death for him.
Facing Chinjao rage and despair, Bob scratched his nose. He hadn't expected that one flick would knock off Chinjao head. But there was still a way to fix it—it was just buried and could be pulled back out.
"Don Chinjao, Don Chinjao, calm down, there's still hope." With that, Bob quickly walked over to Chinjao and gestured for him to sit down.
"Take a deep breath, and cover your head with Armament Haki!"
Bob reached out and touched Chinjao head, using two fingers to pinch the small part of the head cone that was still exposed.
"Screech!"
A metallic scraping sound was heard. Under Bob immense strength, the dark, shiny head cone was pulled out.
"All done!" Bob looked at the perfectly restored cone, clapped his hands, and smiled.
Hearing this, Chinjao reached up to touch his head and, sure enough, it was back. The joy of recovering what was lost made him ecstatic. He jumped to his feet and repeatedly thanked Bob.
"Holy crap! Not only did he counter our leader ultimate move with a head flick, but he also fixed it!"
"Is this the great pirate with a bounty of 1.7 billion?"
"He didn't even use Armament Haki. It feels scarier than when we encountered Roger last time!"
"He's a monster..."
The surrounding pirates, seeing their pillar's head cone restored, were overjoyed but also deeply shocked. Because the strength Bob had displayed was even more formidable than Roger's.
Also feeling the shock was Whitebeard, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines.
Bob strength had improved significantly compared to before. He felt that he might not even be a match for Bob now. It had only been a few months.
What kind of monster was he?
