It was one of the spoils of war obtained by the One-Eyed Pirates after defeating another pirate crew.

Because the other party was a woman and had no fighting ability, the One-Eyed Pirates did not kill her outright. Instead, at her request, they allowed her to work as a janitor on the pirate ship.

Although the black-haired girl was covered in filth, her eyes remained bright, revealing a strong desire to survive.

Since her hometown was destroyed, the girl has resorted to any means to survive, even attaching herself to various pirate crews, all for the sake of survival.

But today, upon witnessing many children who had suffered the same fate as her, the girl felt compassion and went against her usual principles, doing something wrong.

The One-Eyed Pirates only killed the townspeople who resisted, but spared the children and women, since such "commodities" could fetch a good price in some places.

However, the goods have now been let go by the black-haired girl in front of him. How could Bebarth not be furious?

Moreover, he was surrounded by his underlings. If he didn't show his tough side, how could he lead the team in the future? Would anyone still be afraid of him?

"Robin, I only took you in because I felt sorry for you, but you actually let our goods escape. I think you should know the consequences, right?"

Babbitt grabbed Robin by the hair with one hand and lifted him into the air, his remaining single eye gleaming with ferocity.

Upon hearing Robin's screams and struggles, the surrounding pirates not only failed to offer any help, but instead cheered excitedly.

Robin, suspended in mid-air, looked desperate. For years, she had lived on thin ice, deliberately tanning her skin and making herself look dirty to avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

However, after persisting for so many years, it has finally come to an end today.

It is indeed foolish to pay the price for others; people should selfishly live for themselves.

Haguval was lying all along, saying he'd meet true friends someday...

"Captain, Captain, something big has happened! I just overheard some important information!"

Just as Robin was about to be strangled to death by Bebard in despair, another minor member of the "One-Eyed Pirates" ran up to Bebard, panting, saying he had something important to report.

Because of the panicked look on the minor pirate's face, Bebarra turned serious and then threw Robin to the ground like trash.

"Captain, didn't you tell me to keep watch on the other side of the island? Guess what I saw? Navy warships have docked on this island..."

Before the minor pirate could finish speaking, he received a slap across the face from his own captain.

"Damn it, the navy is here and you're still so happy? Brothers, pack your things and get out of here right now."

Although the One-Eyed Pirates are not afraid of the local branch's incompetent marines, fighting to the death with them would be pointless, so it's normal for them to want to retreat.

"No, Captain, please let me finish. I also heard those sailors say that they came to the island apparently looking for some kind of treasure..."

Chapter 128 How strong can a mere naval lieutenant commander be?

"They're not here to capture us, but to search for treasure on the island?"

When Babbitt heard what his subordinate said, his eyes lit up. He had heard before that a senior pirate had come from this island, but the other person later went to the Grand Line.

If there is any treasure on this island, it is most likely left behind by this pirate.

As for why the Navy would come looking for treasure, Bebarth didn't find it strange at all; perhaps that pirate predecessor had fallen into their hands.

"How many of them are there, and what ranks are the naval personnel who land on the island?"

Unless absolutely necessary, Babbart would not want to engage in a deadly battle with the Navy, because there would be no benefit other than losses of men and soldiers.

But now that there are benefits, things are naturally different. As a pirate, with treasure in front of him, he naturally cannot remain indifferent.

Faced with his boss's question, the old-fashioned pirate hesitated and dared not speak, fearing that he might say the wrong thing and get slapped for no reason.

Seeing his younger brother's expression, Bebard naturally knew that he had slapped him too hastily and damaged his image of being wise and mighty.

"Damn it, hurry up and tell us everything you know. If we find the treasure, you'll get a big share this time."

This girl will cool you down tonight, but if you tell me you didn't hear anything, I think you know the consequences.

Bebbard casually pushed one of the women next to him toward the minor pirate, who, upon hearing his boss's promise, lewdly reported all the information he knew.

"Captain, what arrived at the island was a large naval warship. We spotted it from afar on the shore, so we hid immediately and were not detected by them."

At this point, the minor pirate B showed a smug look on his face. In fact, he was supposed to be keeping watch, but he was actually sleeping soundly under a tree.

But he had just felt the urge to urinate, so he ran to the shore and urinated into the wind. As luck would have it, he happened to see a naval warship sailing towards the shore.

The smile on Bebarth's face froze instantly upon hearing the words "large warship," and he reached out to pull the girl next to the extra back.

Ordinary naval forces are not taken seriously by people like Bebarth, but the organization and regulations of the navy are what they are. A navy capable of deploying large warships is by no means an ordinary force.

The naval units in local branches are mostly low-ranking officers, with the highest rank generally being a naval captain, and a captain's naval configuration is at most a medium-sized warship.

A navy capable of deploying large warships is generally composed of "admiral-level" vessels. Even if Babbart were arrogant, he would know that directly confronting such a navy would be suicidal.

"Captain, don't worry. I also thought that such a large warship must be carrying important figures from headquarters."

And guess what? Only about ten sailors disembarked from the warship, and the highest-ranking among them was just a mere lieutenant commander.

Seeing that the girl in his arms was about to be pulled back by his captain, the minor pirate immediately sped up his speech and hurriedly explained what he had seen earlier.

"Are you sure the navy only has a dozen or so men, and that their highest-ranking officer is just a naval lieutenant commander?"

"It's absolutely true, Captain. I was squatting there for a full half hour. Besides, I've been a pirate for several years now. There's no way I wouldn't know the ranks of the Marines."

Even the minor pirate knew how ruthless his captain was, so he naturally didn't dare to lie about the information. In fact, after Wood and the others left, he even dared to board the ship.

It turned out that apart from the dozen or so sailors who had left, there was indeed no one else on the ship.

"A naval lieutenant commander and a dozen or so sailors can deploy large naval warships? Does the Navy Headquarters have so many ships that they don't know where to use them?"

Bebarth was cautious by nature and felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. For safety reasons, he even began to hesitate about getting involved.

"Captain, that warship is in a terrible state, covered in signs of battle, and there's a lot of fresh blood on the deck."

Therefore, I believe that this warship must have been attacked before it came here, so the sailors on board were survivors.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Not only can we seize the treasure, but we can also steal their warships!

Seeing that Bebarth was considering quitting, the minor pirate naturally tried to persuade him to stay.

He was joking. He had finally obtained such important intelligence. If he succeeded, he would get a share of the treasure and even have a romantic night with his boss. But if his boss gave up, he wouldn't get a single thing.

Out of caution, Bebarrai eventually led his crew to the place the minor pirate had mentioned, and there they saw the dilapidated naval warship.

The so-called battle marks were actually left by Shiki and Gion's previous ambush.

As for the strong smell of blood, it was because Wood had massacred the prisoners on the first floor of Impel Down.

Taking all these factors into account, Bebart finally became convinced that the reason Wood's warship had such a small crew was entirely due to the previous attack.

Since the opponent only had a dozen or so people, and the leader was just a mere naval lieutenant commander, then the One-Eyed Pirates had no reason to let such a "fat sheep" go unharvested.

Putting the treasure aside for now, the naval warship in front of them, though dilapidated, is still a fortune for the "One-Eyed Pirates".

Experienced pirates who have sailed the high seas know that large naval warships are not something that ordinary naval forces can deploy.

If they were to pilot a large Navy warship and fly the pirate flag of the "One-Eyed Pirates," who in the entire West Blue wouldn't look up to them?

Although they didn't kill the sailors on the ship, who knows what that means?

In short, although the warship in front of them was a bit damaged, it was a symbol of prestige and strength for the One-Eyed Pirates!

"Captain, now that we've confirmed that those sailors only number a dozen or so, let's take our men up there and take them out!"

The members of the "One-Eyed Pirates," who had just slaughtered many townspeople, were now filled with murderous intent. If they couldn't get the first credit, they could at least get the second or third credit.

There are only a dozen or so people in the navy, not enough to go around. When the captain decides on the distribution of the treasure based on merit, they might not even get a share.

"Kill, kill, kill! All you do all day is fight and kill. Can't you use your brain? Do you know where the treasure is hidden?"

"If you take out those marines, will you help me find the treasure on the island?"

Looking at the group of menacing underlings beside him, Babbar gave them a good beating and decided that after this job was done, he would definitely raise the standards for recruiting underlings.

Chapter 129 Robin's Strong Survival Will

(Back to the One Piece arc, but the readers who left before haven't come back yet, so sad (╯﹏╰))

"Then let's not kill them yet. Let's threaten them to tell us the location of the treasure. Once they tell us, then we'll kill them!"

Upon hearing this, one of the officers of the One-Eyed Pirates made a suggestion that he thought was quite good.

Meanwhile, his lackeys offered timely flattery, leaving Berbatt speechless and covering his face with a sigh.

Once they find the treasure and gain wealth, acquire warships and prestige, their "One-Eyed Pirate Crew" will surely be able to grow bigger and stronger.

We can't keep guys like this who aren't very bright anymore. Otherwise, not to mention their combat strength, the intelligence level of the pirate crew will definitely be dragged down.

"The other side is the Navy, and we are pirates. Do you think they will obediently submit?"

And now that they've suffered heavy losses, if they encounter pirates on the island, what do you think their first reaction will be?

Seeing his silent underlings, Bebard didn't expect these guys, whose heads were only filled with treasure, women, and wine, to come up with anything, so he could only continue speaking.

"In the event of a shortage of manpower and an encounter with the enemy, they would certainly seek assistance from the local naval branch."

Although the branch navy in the waters near Asuka Island is nothing special, I must say that if a naval captain were to be dispatched, even I would find it quite troublesome.

So now we must find a way to get the navy to help us find the treasure, and at the same time find them as soon as they do.

And before they could call for help, quickly wipe them all out!

As he finished speaking, a cruel smile appeared on Berbat's face.
