Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"As expected of the captain, he came up with so many things in such a short time."

So what should we do now? If we secretly follow them, we'll probably be discovered, since they're a naval lieutenant commander after all.

Upon hearing the question from his pirate subordinates, Bebarth's smug expression froze.

Because he hasn't come up with a good solution yet, but he doesn't want to ruin the impressive image he's just painstakingly built up.

"If I have to think of everything myself, then what's the point of having you all!"

Now you have ten minutes to come up with a solution. If you can't think of anything, you won't get a single Beli when the treasure is found.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Under Bebar's oppressive policies, the members of the "One-Eyed Pirates" came up with many bad ideas, but through brainstorming, someone actually came up with a good one.

The navy came to the island in search of treasure, but they were certainly completely unfamiliar with the island when they first arrived.

At this time, if a helpful islander appears, he can both blend into their group and pass on information to them at any time.

Once the navy finds the treasure, their comrades who have infiltrated the group will immediately send a signal, allowing them to eliminate them all in the first instance!

Since the One-Eyed Pirates have been active on this island for half a month, they are quite familiar with the island's terrain and environment.

A solution was found, but the One-Eyed Pirates soon found themselves in a new predicament.

Because the members of the pirate crew either look ugly or fierce, in short, they don't look like good people at all, so it would be too much to ask them to pretend to be residents of the island.

The two girls who served Bebarthel before were alright, but their acting skills were so poor that they easily gave themselves away.

"Let me go undercover! I can do this job, and the Navy won't suspect me!"

The sudden sound made the One-Eyed Pirates look over, and the one who made the sound was Nico Robin, who was tied up and whom they hadn't been able to kill earlier because of Wood and the others' appearance.

Robin had overheard Bebarra and his group's plans and discussions, and she understood that this was her only hope of survival.

“Very good, Robin, if you can really complete this task, I can let you go one more time.”

But if you cause any more trouble, or try to be clever, I guarantee your death won't be as easy as before.

Bebarra agreed to Robin's request, because no one in the One-Eyed Pirates was more suitable for the mission than Robin.

Not only because the other party was just a teenage girl, whose appearance was more deceptive, but also because this woman's greatest skill was "acting".

Meanwhile, Wood, along with Ruth and the others, were exploring the forest, even though the Impel Down prisoners had provided the location of the treasure.

However, the island is so large, and the pirates who hid the treasure were all roughnecks who obviously didn't understand advanced knowledge such as specific coordinates.

So once they arrived on the island, Wood and his men could only search the island one by one based on the information the Impel Down prisoners had given about the location of the hidden treasure.

“Captain Wood, the guy who was watching us when we went ashore doesn’t seem to have followed us.”

The One-Eyed Pirates assumed that Wood and his crew knew nothing, but they were unaware that Wood and his crew had already spotted the lookout pirates of the One-Eyed Pirates before they even landed.

Just kidding, they are the elite marines of headquarters. There's no reason why the lookout pirates could see them while their lookouts didn't notice them.

Even if the lookouts didn't spot them, once they were ashore, the lookout's gaze would naturally attract the attention of Wood and Ruth.

The other party was just a minor pirate from a pirate crew in the West Blue, who had never even been to the Grand Line. Putting Wood aside for now, Russ was at least a Marine Lieutenant in the Marine Headquarters before.

"We probably overthought things. The other side might just be islanders on the island who were responsible for lookout. When they saw the naval warships, they thought we were the navy, so they let their guard down."

It's not surprising that such lookouts are stationed on any island with inhabitants.

After all, pirates are rampant in this day and age, so it wouldn't be surprising if an island were attacked by pirates at any time.

If they can detect an approaching pirate attack in advance, they can take refuge and seek help from the Navy immediately.

"Speaking of which, haven't we found the treasure location yet? This is only the first one. If the next few dozen are this troublesome, when will we ever finish finding them?"

They had been on the island for more than half a day, but after plunging into the forest, Wood and his companions almost lost their way.

Wood originally thought that with the island coordinates and a detailed description of the treasure location, the treasure hunt would be quite easy as long as they didn't encounter any enemies.

As a result, Wood found this trip more tiring than training and fighting. He even wondered if, as his swordsmanship improved, he had developed a terrible sense of direction.

Chapter 130 Robin Infiltrates the Enemy Team

"Captain Wood, treasure hunting is not an easy task. I suggest we go to the town on the island to scout out some information first, then take a good rest and continue the treasure hunt tomorrow, how about that?"

Having gone through so much in such a short time, everyone's morale has been constantly high, and the ship's supplies also need to be replenished.

The way Wood slaughtered the prisoners in Impel Down had left a deep psychological scar on Ruth and the others, leading them to believe that Wood, having spent so much time in Impel Down, was a ruthless man at heart.

However, after spending a few days together, they discovered that Wood was actually quite easy to get along with, except for certain groups. That's why Ruth dared to suggest that everyone take a break first.

"That's all we can do for now, but could you please cover our expenses in the town first?"

Honestly, besides these two knives, I'm practically penniless.

Ruth and the others were initially delighted to hear that they could relax in the town, but when they heard what Wood said, their expressions froze, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were suddenly tricked onto Wood's pirate ship; who would be carrying a large amount of Baileys back then?

As for Wood, needless to say, all his valuables fell into the sea when he jumped from Mary Geoise.

Although he was promoted, he hadn't received his salary yet. The money he used to treat people to meals was borrowed from Gion, so how could he possibly have any Bailey on him now?

"Let's keep looking for treasure, otherwise we might have to sleep in the forest tonight."

Hearing Wood's words, Ruth and the others sighed deeply. They had thought that being a pirate, even though they would be chased and beaten by the Navy every day, would at least allow them to make a fortune.

Although the salary in the navy is low, at least you can live a worry-free life. But what's the result now? Forget about getting rich, they're almost reduced to sleeping on the streets, starving and freezing.

In fact, Wood and his crew are pirates now, so even if they go to the island's towns to steal things, it would be perfectly in line with their pirate personas.

However, no one present raised this point; in fact, they subconsciously believed that paying for things was a matter of course.

Ultimately, although this group has betrayed the Navy, their behavior is clearly still not comparable to that of normal pirates.

"Rustling sound—!"

The group, who were still circling in the forest, turned wary at the sudden commotion.

Then very quickly, a black-haired girl ran frantically out of the forest from the bushes, followed by a huge tiger.

Robin's terrified and panicked expression was genuine. In order to gain Wood and the others' trust more quickly, the One-Eyed Pirates had really sent a tiger to chase after Robin.

For Babbitt and his men, Robin was someone who should have been executed. The fact that they were willing to give her another chance was already incredibly magnanimous.

If Robin really dies in the tiger's mouth, it's not a big deal, since they have plenty of underlings in town.

"Boom——————!"

The tiger leaped up, pouncing on the girl in front of it while simultaneously opening its gaping maw, ready to end its prey's life.

However, before its sharp teeth could bite through the girl's neck, a figure appeared in front of the tiger without warning.

And in the next second, a sonic boom echoed through the air, and a tiger weighing at least several hundred kilograms was sent flying like a cannonball.

The immense impact caused the tiger's head to twist into a strange angle in an instant, even snapping a nearby tree in half.

Nico Robin was stunned to see the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, still in a punching stance.

As a wanted criminal who has been adrift at sea for several years, Nico Robin, despite her young age, definitely has more experience than most pirates.

Over the years, in order to survive, she has moved between several pirate crews in the West Blue, and she has witnessed a lot of battles between pirates.

Robin had seen those "great pirates" with bounties on their heads in the West Blue take action to varying degrees.

However, at this moment she suddenly felt that the navy that appeared in front of her might be even stronger than those "big shots" she knew!

Killing a wild beast in the forest is an easy task for a pirate with a bounty of several million Berries, but someone who can kill it so effortlessly must be nearly as strong as the captain of the One-Eyed Pirates.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

The calm yet gentle voice snapped Nico Robin out of her daze.

When Robin saw the man's face, she realized that he was surprisingly young, not even much older than herself.

"It's alright, thank you for saving me. I'm a resident of Bird Island. I was gathering herbs in the forest when I suddenly encountered a ferocious beast. The path was always safe before."

"Brothers, you don't seem to be from our island. Judging from your clothes, are you from the Rhodes Island branch of the Navy?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Robin immediately remembered her mission and quickly put on an innocent expression.

In Robin's opinion, Wood's fighting prowess might be comparable to that of the one-eyed Babart, who has a bounty of 25 million Berries, but unfortunately, they are outnumbered.

Furthermore, because of what happened to her hometown of Ohara, Robin dislikes the Marines more than pirates, which is why she was able to accept this mission without any psychological burden.

Not only for her own survival, but also because she loathed the Navy, the ones who destroyed her homeland.

Instead of answering Robin's question immediately, Wood drew the knife from his waist.

When Robin saw Wood's behavior, he also looked worried and wondered if he had given something away with his expression or words earlier.

However, Robin soon realized that his worries were completely unnecessary, because the man in front of him drew his long sword and walked toward the beast with shining eyes.

And while performing the dissection, he didn't forget to turn back and answer Robin's question.

"Ah, we are indeed from the Navy, but not from the branch you mentioned..."

Claiming to be a pirate would only cause unnecessary trouble and panic. Moreover, Wood felt that since the girl in front of him was a resident of the island, her identity as a Marine seemed more trustworthy than that of a pirate if they wanted to ask her for help.

Because they were all starving, they dealt with the tiger very quickly, and soon a wisp of smoke rose from the forest.

As the king of beasts, this ferocious beast was swaggering and showing off one second, but the next second it was being roasted on a fire by everyone.
