To put it bluntly, in the first half of the Grand Line, even if a pirate with a bounty of 20 million traveled to the four seas area, it would be easy enough to dominate a sea area.
And such characters in the Grand Line are not even considered as trash. Even pirate groups of this level, the Grand Line has no idea how many disappear every day.
Some died in the disputes between the navy and pirates, but more were lost in the changing weather of the Grand Line and the mouths of giant sea kings.
Just like the "King of the Near Sea" who dominates the East China Sea in Luffy's hometown, this thing has reached the Grand Line and is not even considered a shrimp among the Sea Kings.
It was also for this reason that Russ and the others acted so unconcerned when they heard that the pirate group with a bounty of 25 million Baileys planned to attack them.
Just kidding, although there are only a dozen of them, the people present are all elite marines from the Navy Headquarters.
Among the dozen or so of them, the ones with the lowest original military rank were sergeants, and most of them were officers at the "sergeant level" and "lieutenant level".
Moreover, the naval strength of the headquarters is far beyond that of the local branch. "Lieutenant-level" non-commissioned officers like Russ and others have even mastered some of the six styles, and their combat power is comparable to that of the colonels of the local branch.
Anyway, for the guys of the same level as Colonel Mengka and Colonel Mouse who appeared in the East China Sea later, it was almost easy for Russ to fight a few of them.
Russ and the others' combat prowess is already like this, let alone Wood, whose strength far exceeds his military rank.
Russ and the others knew that among the hundreds of Impel Down prisoners that Wood had massacred on the warship, none of them were weaker than this one-eyed dragon Bebat.
The so-called big pirate in the Western Sea that Robin calls is nothing in their eyes.
Not to mention Wood himself, even Russ or other former "lieutenant-level" non-commissioned officers present could easily defeat this guy named One-Eyed Dragon Bebat.
As for the rest of the One-Eyed Pirates, although the number of five hundred is indeed a bit more, sometimes the numerical advantage really doesn't mean much.
Russ and the others were unable to single-handedly fight hundreds of prisoners in Impel Down City like Wood, but if the targets were ordinary pirates from the West Sea, they would still have no problem fighting one against a hundred.
"Don't worry, that one-eyed pirate group actually asked you to send a signal to them after we find the treasure, so you can just do it when the time comes.
According to what you said before, this one-eyed pirate group slaughtered the small town on the island and was not a good guy to begin with.
When you leave this island, it’s not a bad thing to just help clean up the trash in the sea.”
After hearing what Wood said, what could Rubin say? At this moment, she just felt that Wood and the others were really good at boasting.
The pirates who offered a bounty of 25 million beli were beaten into pieces, and a mere 10 people wanted to challenge a pirate group of 500 people.
It is undeniable that Wood's ability to kill a tiger with one punch did make Robin a little impressed, but to this extent, the one-eyed dragon Baybat can also do it.
Robin has been around the sea for so long, and it's not like he has never met a navy lieutenant commander. To put it bluntly, a navy of this level would not dare to provoke the One-Eyed Pirates in the Western Sea.
The advice has been given, but Wood and his party didn't take it seriously at all, and Robin was very soft-spoken and helpless.
Early the next morning, with Robin's help, Wood and his team quickly found the largest tree in the forest and dug out the so-called treasure under the tree.
Looking at the small wooden box filled with Baileys in front of him, Wood looked a little disappointed.
Originally, he thought that the pirates who could be captured in Impel Down City would have some wealth, but after working for a long time, he calculated the treasures in the box and found that they were only over 10 million Baileys at most.
.
"You are so poor. This is the West Sea among the strongest seas. Those treasure hiding places in the East Sea don't have only a few million or even hundreds of thousands of Baileys..."
There were dozens of treasure locations that Wood obtained from Impel Down prisoners. Originally, he thought that if all these treasures were found, they would cost at least hundreds of millions of beli.
But now it seems that he had too high regard for these pirates before.
If those pirate prisoners only had this kind of wealth, they wouldn't even be able to buy masts, let alone order new ships.
"Robin, that blind dragon you mentioned earlier has a bounty of 25 million Baileys, right?"
Although the treasure was found as expected, the amount was less than Wood expected. While feeling disappointed, Wood suddenly thought that the head of a certain guy on the island seemed to be more valuable than the treasure!
"It's the one-eyed dragon Bebat. Although his bounty is not the highest in the Western Sea, he can still be considered a relatively high-ranking pirate."
Hearing Wood asking about the one-eyed dragon Bebat at this moment, Robin thought that Wood had finally given up. However, who knew that the former would say to himself excitedly the next second: "More than 20 million Bailey's heads.
What are you waiting for now? Hurry up and send the signal for them to come over!"
Robin was obviously stunned when he heard what Wood said, and then looked at Wood again as if he had heard wrongly.
After receiving Wood's confirming and expectant look, Robin finally took out a whistle and blew it.
As for Wood and the others, they had no idea of escaping at this moment. They just sat on the ground with a look of leisure, waiting for the arrival of the One-Eyed Pirates.
Perhaps they were afraid that Wood and others would escape, or perhaps the location of the One-Eyed Pirates was not far from them.
In short, less than a few minutes after Robin delivered the signal, there was a rustling sound from all around the forest, and then figures with sinister smiles surrounded Wood and the others from all sides.
"Robin, you did a good job this time. I, the one-eyed dragon Bebat, always keep my word, so I will spare your life this time.
But I also hate betrayal guys the most. Our One-Eyed Pirates will not kill you, but whether the other party will kill you is beyond our control."
Looking at the dozen or so people in Wood in front of him and the wooden boxes full of Baileys piled aside, the one-eyed dragon Bebat grinned to the root of his teeth.
Originally, he was worried that something unexpected would happen, but now it seemed that everything was as expected, and the information they had before was completely correct.
There are more than ten navies on the other side, and the top command is only a lieutenant colonel.
There are a total of 500 people in the One-Eyed Pirates. One of them can drown the other person just by spitting, so there is no possibility of them overturning.
As for Robin, who was standing with Wood and the others, when he heard what Bebat said, his body was shaking with anger.
It was impossible for Bebat to know in advance that he had betrayed him, and the reason why the other party said this was because he had no intention of letting him go from the very beginning!
