"Captain Wood, treasure hunting is not that easy in the first place. I suggest that we go to the small town on the island to find out some information first, and then take a good rest. How about we continue the treasure hunt tomorrow?
Having experienced so much in a short period of time, everyone’s spirits have been in a state of tension, and the supplies on the ship also need to be replenished.”
The way Wood massacred the prisoners in Impel Down City before really left a huge psychological shadow on Russ and the others, leading them to believe that Wood was a cruel guy at heart because he had been in Impel Down City for a long time.
But after getting along for a few days, they discovered that Wood was actually a very easy-to-get-together guy except for specific groups, so Ruth now dared to suggest that everyone take a break first.
"This can only be the case for the time being, but can you guys pay in advance for the consumption in the town?
To be honest, apart from these two knives, my pockets are cleaner than my face."
When they heard that they could go to the small town to relax for a while, Ruth and others were originally happy. However, when they heard what Wood said, their expressions suddenly froze and they looked at each other.
They were suddenly deceived by Wood into boarding the pirate ship, so who would be carrying a large amount of Bailey?
Not to mention Wood, all the valuable things he had before fell into the sea when he jumped from Mary Joa.
Although he was promoted later, his salary has not been paid yet. The money for the previous dinners was all borrowed from Gion. How could he have Bailey on him now?
"It's better to continue looking for treasures, otherwise you may have to sleep in the forest tonight."
Hearing Wood's words, Russ and others sighed greatly. They originally thought that being a pirate would make them rich even though they would be chased and beaten by the navy all day long.
Although the salary in the navy is low, at least you can live a worry-free life. But now, let alone getting rich, you are almost living on the streets in hunger and cold.
In fact, Wood and the others are all pirates now. Even if they go to the small town on the island to grab some things, it is completely consistent with their personality as pirates.
However, no one present mentioned this point, and they even subconsciously believed that it is only natural to give money when buying things.
In the final analysis, although this group of people has betrayed the navy, their behavior is obviously not the same as that of normal pirates.
"Swiss, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!"
The group of people who were still walking in circles in the forest looked wary because of the sudden movement.
Then very quickly, a black-haired girl in the grass ran out of the forest in a panic, with a huge tiger following behind her.
The frightened and panicked expression on Robin's face was not fake. In order to gain the trust of Wood and others faster, the "One-Eyed Pirates" really drove a tiger to chase Robin.
For Bebat and the others, Robin was originally destined to be executed, and now they are willing to give her one more chance, which is already magnanimous.
If Robin really died, it wouldn't be a big deal, since they had a lot of kiddos from the town who did it anyway.
"Boom——————!"
The tiger jumped up, and while pounced on the girl in front of him, he also opened his bloody mouth, preparing to take the life of the prey in front of him.
However, before its sharp teeth could bite the girl's neck, a figure appeared in front of the tiger without any warning.
And in the next second, a sonic explosion echoed in the air, and the tiger, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms, flew backwards like a cannonball.
The huge impact caused the tiger's head to twist into a strange angle in an instant, and even broke a large tree nearby.
Nico Robin was stunned when he saw the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and kept punching.
As a bounty prisoner who has been drifting at sea for several years, although she is young, Nico Robin definitely has richer experience than most pirates.
Over the years, in order to survive, she has stayed in many pirate groups in the West Sea, and she has seen a lot of fights between pirates.
Robin had also seen more or less of the "big pirates" who had bounties on them in the Western Sea.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that the navy that appeared in front of her might be stronger than the "big men" she knew!
Killing a beast in the forest is easy for a pirate with a bounty of millions of Baileys, but for someone who can kill it so easily and instantly, the opponent's strength may not be weaker than the captain of the One-Eyed Pirates.
How much is it?
"Little girl, are you okay?"
The calm but easy-going voice woke up Nico Robin, who was still in surprise.
When he saw the face of the man in front of him, Robin realized that the man was unexpectedly young, not even a few years older than himself.
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for saving me. I'm a resident of Asuka Island. I was collecting medicinal herbs in the forest. Who knew I suddenly encountered a wild beast? That road was obviously safe before.
Brother, you don’t seem to be from our island. Looking at the clothes you are wearing, are you from the navy of the Rhode Island branch?”
After a brief moment of surprise, Robin suddenly remembered his mission and quickly pretended to be harmless.
In Robin's view, Wood's fighting prowess might be enough to compete with the one-eyed dragon Bebat who had a bounty of 25 million berri, but the number of people on their side was too small.
And because of what happened to her hometown of O'Hara, Robin hates the navy more than pirates, which is why she was able to complete this mission without any psychological burden.
Not only to survive, but also because she hates the navy, the people who destroyed her hometown.
In response to Robin's inquiry, Wood did not answer her question immediately, but instead pulled out the knife from his waist.
When seeing Wood's behavior, Robin's expression also showed a look of worry, and he thought about whether there was any flaw in his previous expression or language.
But soon, Robin also realized that his worries were completely unnecessary, because after the man in front of him pulled out his long knife, he walked towards the beast with shining eyes.
And while he was dissecting, he didn't forget to look back and answer Robin's question just now.
"Ah, we are indeed the navy, but we are not from the branch you mentioned..."
Saying that he is a pirate will only cause unnecessary trouble and panic, and Wood feels that since the girl in front of him is a resident of the island, then if they want to ask each other for help, it seems easier to be a navy than a pirate.
Make people trust.
Because they were all starving, they dealt with the tiger very quickly, and soon a line of smoke rose from the forest.
As the king of beasts, the fierce beast was showing off its power one second, but the next second it was already being roasted on the fire.
