Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

So, in order to regain favor, Wood could only try to put on a friendly expression and turn to him, saying, "Don't worry, we're no longer in the Navy, so we won't make things difficult for you. Once we've finished dealing with things on the island, we'll let you leave."

In Wood's view, he had saved the other party twice and promised not to make things difficult for her. Even if Robin wasn't moved to tears, her favorability should at least be above average.

However, the result was beyond Wood's expectations. Instead of being pleased with Wood's explanation, Robin laughed out loud.

"Would you let me leave alive, and then hide on high ground and watch me struggle like a clown?"

Although Robin had never seen the World Government and the Celestial Dragons in person, she, as a top student, knew what kind of people they were.

This approach is certainly in line with what those high-and-mighty people like to do.

After hearing what Robin said, Wood paused for a moment before realizing that something had gone wrong.

That's right, as Wood of this world, he should have met Robin for the first time, but his performance just now showed that he knew the other party too well.

If it were someone as carefree as Luffy or Zoro, it would be one thing, but Robin is an extremely cautious person because of her childhood experiences.

Clearly, Wood's recent actions have now made him a target of suspicion.

No… it’s even possible that Wood is now seen by her as either someone from the World Government spying on her, or a criminal who covets her ability to decipher the Poneglyphs.

Chapter 133 Wood: Never heard of this person before...

"I know that because of what I just said, you may no longer believe me."

But I do know everything about you, um, through a giant naval vice admiral named Hagvar D. Saron.

Robin, who had been wary of Wood, was replaced by surprise when he heard the name Wood uttered.

Hagwar D. Salong—Robin was naturally familiar with this name, as it was the name of both her friend and her benefactor.

When Ohara was destroyed by the Buster Call, how was Robin, an eight-year-old girl, able to escape? The reason was Hagwar D. Saron.

Hagwar D. Salong is a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters. He was in charge of capturing the Poneglyph Research Group, led by Robin's mother. After talking with Robin's mother, he felt that justice was being served and rescued Robin's mother, Olvia. As a result, he was hunted down by the Marines.

When the Navy launched the Buster Call against Ohara, Sauron sank two naval warships with his bare hands.

However, the vice admiral sent to Ohara at that time was not an ordinary vice admiral, but one of the few supernova pirates on whom the Navy had high hopes, Aokiji Kuzan.

Both were vice admirals in the Navy, but Saul was no match for Kuzan. However, as friends, Kuzan chose to respect Saul's decision and let Robin escape.

Does Wood know Salong? That's obviously impossible, since Salong is from the same generation as Aokiji, but Robin and the others couldn't possibly know that.

Wood was originally a member of the Navy, as was Saul, and Wood also knew so much about Ohara, which made his claim of knowing Saul seem more believable.

Wood knew about Salong before the Buster Call, which means he must have known Salong before.

And it's possible that Salong told the other party about his own affairs.

Wood may have learned about O'Hara's situation after his friend Saron died.

Robin was a smart girl. When Wood met Salong, she had already sorted out all her thoughts and labeled Wood as someone she could barely trust.

"The pirate crew I'm currently in is called the 'One-Eyed Pirates.' Our captain, One-Eyed Bebarra, is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 2500 million Berries. They..."

Since her identity had been recognized, there was no need to hide it any longer. Moreover, since Wood was Saul's friend, Robin didn't want Wood and the others to die here, so she revealed the One-Eyed Pirates' plan.

Robin knew all too well what the consequences of betraying the One-Eyed Pirates would be, so she hoped Wood and the others could come up with a good solution; otherwise, she would have no choice but to die in this place with them.

It's impossible to sneak away from Bird Island now, because Wood and his crew's ship has definitely been ambushed by the One-Eyed Pirates.

Robin can only think of two methods now. One is that Wood and his group carry Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and use them to contact the nearby Marine branch to disrupt the situation on the island and escape.

Another option is to ambush the One-Eyed Pirates and steal their ship to leave.

Now that One-Eyed Bebarr is guarding Wood's warship, the defenses on the One-Eyed Pirates' own ship are definitely not very strong.

Given Wood's previous display of strength, the chances of success should be quite high if he can launch a sneak attack before One-Eyed Bebarr can react.

Before the burning fire, Robin, having risked his life to betray the enemy, spoke eloquently about the methods he had come up with.

However, she was speechless to find that the others around her were not listening to her at all, but were busy with the barbecue in their hands.

"Didn't you hear what I said before? The group that wants to deal with you is one of the largest pirate crews in the West Blue right now."

One-Eyed Berbat is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 2500 Berries, and the One-Eyed Pirates crew has as many as 500 members.

There are only a dozen or so of us here, and you're still in the mood to eat meat? Are you really not afraid of dying?

The disparity in numbers between the enemy and themselves was too great, and Robin was extremely anxious, fearing that the One-Eyed Pirates would lose patience and choose to make a sudden move.

Our teammates, however, seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. Instead of trying to break out of the predicament, they were all busy scrambling to grill the meat.

If Wood hadn't previously mentioned knowing Salong, Robin would have already decided to sell Wood and the others out.

After all, Wood and the others didn't want to live anymore, but Robin wanted to continue living, even if the future was humiliating and full of suffering, she would live to witness the history of the world.

"The One-Eyed Pirates? One-Eyed Bebarra? Russ, do you even know who they are?"

Wood didn't really take the 2500 million Berry bounty guy seriously at the moment, but Robin kept explaining to him how terrifying the guy was.

Because the time he traveled to was too far in the past, and there was still a long time before the plot unfolded as Wood knew it, Wood, who was not sure what kind of important person the other party might be in the future, looked at Ruth beside him and asked.

As a veteran of the Navy, Ruth had previously worked in administrative roles in Impel Down and had some knowledge of the world's wanted pirates.

"One-Eyed Dragon Bebar? I seem to have seen his information before. He's one of the rising pirates in the West Blue in recent years."

The other party does not seem to be a Devil Fruit user. The reason why the bounty is so high is because of his extremely cruel and cold-blooded personality.

His own strength is mediocre at best; he's just an insignificant nobody.

Hearing Ruth's reply, Wood lowered his head with relief and continued working on the roasted meat in his hands.

In his memory, many big figures seemed to come from the weakest East Blue, and apart from Shanks, Gecko Moria, Chinjao, and San Juan Jackal, there didn't seem to be any particularly powerful figures in the West Blue.

With Wood's current strength, he wouldn't dare say he can roam the seas with impunity, but there really aren't many who can crush him.

However, among these people, the guy with the 2500 million Berry bounty, known as One-Eyed Berbat, definitely doesn't belong to this group.

A pirate with a bounty of 2500 million Berries was indeed quite a formidable pirate before entering the Grand Line, but compared to the pirates of the Grand Line, he was completely incomparable.

Even in the West Blue, known as the strongest sea, the same bounty amount becomes significantly more inflated once you enter the Grand Line.

Pirates born in the four seas cannot compare to those born in the Grand Line in terms of vision and strength.

Their high bounties are simply because the Navy has weak control over the four seas and there is little competition.

Chapter 134 This round is already won.

To put it bluntly, even in the first half of the Grand Line, a pirate with a bounty of 2000 million could easily dominate a sea area if he went to any of the four seas.

Such characters are not even considered small fry in the Grand Line. In fact, countless pirate crews of this caliber disappear every day in the Grand Line.

Some died in conflicts between the Navy and pirates, but many more perished in the Grand Line's unpredictable weather and were devoured by giant sea kings.

Just like the "King of the Coast" who dominates the East Blue, Luffy's hometown, this thing is not even a shrimp among the Sea Kings when it comes to the Grand Line.

That's why Rus and his crew were so nonchalant when they heard that the pirate crew with a bounty of 2500 million Berries was planning to attack them.

Just kidding, although there were only a dozen or so of them, everyone present was an elite naval officer from the Navy Headquarters.

Among these dozen or so people, the lowest-ranking officer was a sergeant, and most of them were officers of the "sergeant" or "company" rank.

Moreover, the naval strength of the headquarters is far superior to that of the local branches. Officers like Ruth, who are "lieutenant-level" sergeants, have even mastered some of the Six Styles, making their combat power comparable to that of colonels in the local branches.

Anyway, when guys like Colonel Morgan and Colonel Rat appeared in the East China Sea later, it was an easy task for Rus to take on several of them by himself.

If Ruth and his group are already this strong, then we can imagine how much stronger Wood is, whose rank far surpasses that of a military officer.

Ruth and the others knew that none of the hundred or so Impel Down prisoners that Wood had slaughtered on the warship were weaker than this one-eyed man, Bebarra.

The so-called great pirates of the West Blue that Robin mentioned were nothing at all in their eyes.

Not to mention Wood himself, even Ruth or the other former "lieutenant" sergeants present could easily defeat this guy called One-Eyed Bebarra.

As for the other members of the One-Eyed Pirates, although five hundred people is indeed a lot, sometimes numerical superiority doesn't really mean anything.

Unlike Wood, Russ and his crew couldn't single-handedly take on a hundred or so prisoners in Impel Down, but if their opponents were just ordinary pirates from the West Blue, they could easily take on a hundred of them.

"Don't worry, since that One-Eyed Pirates wants you to send them a signal after we find the treasure, just do as they say."

As you said before, this one-eyed pirate crew massacred the town on the island, so they weren't exactly good guys to begin with.

"When we leave this island, it wouldn't be a bad thing to help clean up the ocean."

What could Rubin say after hearing what Wood said? At that moment, she just felt that Wood and his ilk were really too boastful.

Pirates with a bounty of 2500 million Berries were beaten to a pulp, and a mere 10 people dared to challenge a pirate crew of 500.

Undeniably, Wood's ability to kill a tiger with a single punch did impress Robin, but if it was only at that level, even the one-eyed Bebarra could have done it.

Having roamed the high seas for so long, Robin has seen plenty of Marine lieutenants. Frankly speaking, a Marine of that rank wouldn't dare mess with the One-Eyed Pirates in the West Blue.

The advice had been given, but Wood and his group didn't take it seriously at all, leaving Robin feeling helpless as his words carried little weight.

The next morning, with Robin's help, Wood and his group quickly found the largest tree in the forest and dug out the so-called treasure under it.

Looking at the small wooden box in front of him, which was filled to the brim with Baileys, Wood's expression was somewhat disappointed.

He had initially thought that the pirates who were captured and imprisoned in Impel Down must have some wealth, but after all that work, the amount of Berries and treasure in the box was only a little over ten million Berries at most.

"What a bunch of paupers! And this is the West Blue, the strongest sea! The treasure locations in the East Blue must be worth at least a few million, or even a few hundred thousand Berries..."

Wood obtained dozens of treasure locations from the prisoners in Impel Down, and he originally thought that if he found all of them, he would get at least several hundred million Berries.
