Chapter 139: Robin who secretly followed the boat!
According to Wood's original idea, he hoped to let Asuka Town plant their pirate flag after they became famous throughout the sea.
But Wood ignored one problem, that is, this is the Western Sea, not the Grand Line.
Although their pirate group is not well-known yet, Wood, who has a bounty of 50 million Baileys, is already considered a huge figure in the entire West China Sea!
Have you ever seen that the one-eyed dragon Bebat, who has a bounty of 2,500 Baileys, can be so mad in the West Sea that even the local navy branch dare not provoke him.
Wood's bounty is twice that of the other party, and he has also done such a big thing in Impel Down City. His existence is considered an extremely important person at the level of Xihai.
However, what everyone in Feiniao Town didn't know was that Wood, who was a big shot in their eyes at the moment, was looking at the black-haired girl in front of him with a headache expression on his face.
Although he left their pirate flag to Asuka Town, Wood still didn't have a good idea about the name of the pirate group.
As a scumbag with a "bad name", Wood meditated for several hours alone and lost a lot of brain cells, and finally mobilized the wisdom of the masses to brainstorm ideas.
Ruth and the others had worked as civil servants before, so they had some ink in their stomachs, so they should be able to think of good names.
"Emperor Pirates!"
"Aquaman Pirates!"
"We were all excellent marines before, so naturally we should be called the Justice Pirates."
Listening to Ruth's enthusiastic speeches, Wood covered his face speechlessly, feeling that he was so stupid for having so much hope for these idiots.
"How about calling them the Dark Pirates?"
"No, this name is too dark... No, why are you on our ship, Robin!"
Hearing the third-rate name ringing in his ears, Wood objected as usual, but he soon realized that the voice that just spoke was a female voice.
And among all the big men on their ship, there should be no women.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Wood found that Robin slowly walked out of his captain's cabin, holding a book on the bookshelf in Wood's room, as if he didn't regard him as an outsider.
.
"Isn't the name of the Dark Pirates a good one? This is the name of the legendary pirate group that appears in this adventure novel.
And this book was found on the bookshelf in the captain's room. The captain must have read this book, don't you think this name is very good?"
In this way, the ship they were traveling on had changed from a navy warship to a ship belonging to the One-Eyed Pirates, and Bebat's originally luxurious captain's cabin was now naturally Wood's room.
In order to show his cultural literacy, Wood deliberately learned from those successful people and asked Ruth and others to move a lot of books into the room as decoration.
However, Wood has never even opened these books, let alone their contents.
However, in the face of Robin's inquiry, in order not to affect his majestic and knowledgeable image, Wood could only bite the bullet and said: "Since it is my book, then of course I have read it.
But I feel that even if it is a good name, since it has been used by others, it is always not good to use a name that has been used by others..."
Hearing Wood's pretense of calmness, Robin's lips twitched into a smile that no one else could detect, as if he had some unknown understanding of Wood.
In fact, what she just said was a lie. The book in her hand was not an adventure novel at all, but a travelogue.
Moreover, she had just started reading this book, and there was no so-called Dark Pirates in it. Those things she just talked about were all random nonsense.
However, Robin did not choose to expose Wood's face-saving behavior. Instead, after thinking deeply, he gave several options.
"Ghost Pirates, Abyss Pirates..."
It should be said that she is worthy of being the dark-hearted Nico Robin. Almost all the names she comes up with are full of darkness, which even makes Wood feel powerless to complain.
"Are you sure that the names of these pirate groups are the names that appear in the book and not your own ideas?
No, no, I almost let you bypass me. Now is not the time to think about the name of the pirate group. Tell me why you appeared on our ship!"
It is understandable that Wood wants to have a good relationship with Robin. After all, the other person will be one of the protagonists in the future, and he is also one of Wood's favorite characters in the past.
But Wood never thought about robbing Wang Luffy of people. Even if Robin was missing, would Luffy and the others be able to go to Justice Island in the future?
"Is there anything wrong with this? You promised me before that I would help you find the treasure, and you would help me solve the trouble caused by the 'One-Eyed Pirates'."
Facing Wood's questioning, Robin didn't care at all. Instead, he found a deck chair, then found a good seat on the deck, and began his leisurely reading time.
"That's right. According to our previous agreement, the 'One-Eyed Pirates' have been completely destroyed by us, so aren't you free now?"
Wood was confused. He felt that there should be nothing wrong with his analysis. Or did the "One-Eyed Pirates" have a back-up plan? For example, there was a big boss behind the opponent?
"The 'One-Eyed Pirates' were indeed wiped out, but the trouble they caused me was not solved.
If I wanted to stay on Asuka Island, I would have chosen an island to live in seclusion in the past.
But I also have my own dream. I want to understand the true history of this world, so I wander around on the sea.
You destroyed the 'One-Eyed Pirates', so now I have nowhere to go, so naturally I have to rely on you."
Robin's almost perverse logic made Wood and Ruth speechless. This was the first time they had seen people taking advantage of the boat so naturally...
There is actually a reason why Robin dares to be so fearless and arrogant.
Although the contact time was short, she could feel that Wood and the others were different from other pirates. They were all good people.
Not only did Wood know his benefactor, Saron, but what Wood did on Bird Island also deeply touched Robin.
Although she knew that her behavior would bring trouble to Wood and the others, Robin still chose to do it in the end.
Because her intuition told her that if she missed this opportunity, she would definitely regret it in the future!
At the same time, Robin also knew that even if she secretly boarded the ship, Wood would not do anything to her in the end. This was the reason why she was so fearless.
Happiness must be achieved through one's own efforts. Robin, who has been wandering at sea for many years, is convinced of this.
Instead of continuing to parasitize other unknown pirate groups, Robin is more willing to believe that Wood is the "true partner" that Saron calls.
