In the dark forest, there was a sound of rustling from time to time,

Nocturnal animals carefully weave between plants and dead leaves, searching for possible food.

In the dappled moonlight,

The long horses shuttled among the dead leaves, the two hamsters diligently carried the food, the shrubs opened the pupils of the cloud cat, and on the high branches, an arboreal snake lowered its head silently

Click!

A pair of black leather boots stepped on the dead leaves,

The crisp sound startled away the surrounding animals,

In the shadows of the woods, Nicole Robin clutched her arms and staggered into the moonlight, leaning wearily against the tree beside her.

Gasping for breath with difficulty.

Blood flowed from her arm, the part of her palm had long since lost sensation, the exhaustion of the long journey and the pain of breaking her forearm were like spikes pierced in the dough,

It always woke her up in numbness, and she felt the pain as long and rough as the friction of broken bones.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the bright moon,

The corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a mocking smile,

The miserable death on this uninhabited island is probably the end that I deserve as a "scourge".

She lowered her head and coughed violently, blood leaking down her fingers.

In fact, a few days ago, she wasn't as embarrassed as she is now.

Ever since the ugly thing that the Baroque studio did in the Kingdom of Alabastan was stabbed into the sky by the Straw Hats,

She served as the vice president of the former Baroque studio, Sunday,

At the last moment, he was injured by Mr.0, the owner of the Baroque studio and one of the original Seven Martial Seas, Sand Klokdal,

Unconscious from serious injuries. (Without Smoker's participation, the Straw Hats spent a lot of time clearing the miscellaneous soldiers)

When he woke up, he was already on Captain Tina's battleship.

He was then imprisoned by Navy Colonel Tina and other members of the Baroque workshop.

At that time, Robin was hopeless for the rest of his life.

As the infamous "Devil of O'Hara",

She could already foresee that after her identity was discovered, she would be transferred to a tighter, more secret prison, where she would spend her life in the dark.

and even a picture of being directly executed in public.

However, what she didn't expect was that

Not more than two days later,

Miss. Golden Week, Mr. 5 and Miss. Valentine's Day from the Baroque studio teamed up to infiltrate the prison and release everyone in the Baroque studio!

Although I don't know why Shah Klockdahl and Mr. 1 didn't choose to run away with everyone,

But Robin, who has left the Baroque studio, naturally can't stay in the same prison as his enemy anymore.

So she also took advantage of this opportunity to escape with Golden Week and others.

and finally rejected the proposal of others to open a tavern together,

Alone, he embarked on a journey to find the text of history again.

Going, the City of Water.

Now that I think about it, maybe she should have gone with everyone else to open an ordinary tavern,

Even if the dream is buried, it is better than dying now.

"Perhaps, this is the price of chasing history." Robin chuckled under his breath.

Drag your tired steps and continue to walk forward,

With the rich experience of archaeologists and the keen observation ability to chase and betray in the dark world for more than ten years,

She soon found traces of human activity in the woods,

After a moment's hesitation,

In the end, I followed those traces.

She didn't expect anyone to save her,

Because that's impossible,

Behind her is the powerful CP9 agent,

Behind CP9 is an even more desperate world government.

In this world, no one will offend the world government in order to save an irrelevant person.

Not to mention,

She herself is also the "Demon of O'Hara" with a bounty of 79 million Bailey.

This number is enough to arouse the greed of most people.

This has been proven countless times since she escaped from O'Hara.

The reason why I went in this direction was just to see if there was a chance to get a boat.

The trails ahead are getting cluttered,

Faintly, Robin seemed to see the light reflected in front of him,

Just behind a hidden cliff crack,

She walked out of the dense forest, laboriously raised a hand, and barely exerted the ability of flowers and fruits,

Countless arms stretched out from the ground, pushing away a boulder blocked in front of the crack,

Revealing a wide passage behind the boulder,

She walked in without saying a word.

After a few seconds,

When she finally saw the light at the end of the passage,

The whole person was stunned for a second,

A desperate smile gradually appeared on his face.

At the bottom of my heart, the last trace of luck dissipated.

"Sure enough. Miracles don't happen to a scourge like mine."

In front of her, expensive jewels and gold were piled up into a hill three or four meters high,

The bright moonlight spilled through the cracks on the other side,

The jewels shine.

I don't know whose treasure is the place where so much wealth has been accumulated, and it is an adventure that almost everyone dreams of.

But at this moment, this huge sum of money coveted by countless people is placed in front of Robin, but it seems so ridiculous.

She had fantasized about discovering such treasures,

I didn't expect that when I actually got it, I had no life to spend money.

She lowered her head and laughed a few times, sat down among the gold, silver and jewelry, and leaned on the treasure mountain tiredly,

That's enough

has escaped enough,

Whether it's her life, or this way,

are telling her the fact that this world does not need the existence of "O'Hara's demons".

Then let me die here in peace.

Closed his eyes,

I'm sorry everyone, but in the end, I didn't make it a good scholar.

She thought so, and raised her hand,

Two slender arms silently emerged from her shoulders and held her head.

At this moment,

A huge roar came from the rock wall behind him!

Rumble!!

Smoke and dust,

The splash of rubble hit the hill of gold, silver and jewels with a crisp sound.

"Are you coming?"

Robin opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the rock wall crumbling,

"It's CP9, it's coming so fast."

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that CP9 didn't want to kill herself.

Because the chief of CP9, Spendham, is waiting for her, the remnant of O'Hara, to decipher the ancient text on the blueprints of Hades.

For the world government, she is still valuable,

If you work hard, you may be able to join the other party in exchange for a chance to live.

After all, the torch is in the hands of the government and the people, and they are two completely different concepts.

But Robin didn't want to,

Bow to the world government that once destroyed O'Hara?

Join the group that killed her mother?

Sorry, she just can't!

She struggled to her feet, still holding her hands up, her eyes red, and she sneered in the direction of the broken rock wall.

"You scumbags who want O'Hara's knowledge too? Dream on! ”

Speaking of which, the ability to promote,

At the moment when the two palms of her shoulders were about to exert force,

Two loud laughs rang out from behind the broken rock wall.

"Treasure!!"

"Treasure!!"

Robin was stunned.

Behind the rock wall,

Eden and Bucky, one tall and one short, hooked their shoulders and walked out of the smoke and dust with a grin.

When they saw the treasure mountain in front of them clearly, the two of them seemed to even pause for breathing.

Tilting his head and growing his mouth, as if he had seen a god, the wine glass in his hand rolled to the ground without knowing it.

Plunged into a deep shock!

Completely unaware of the presence of people next to the treasure.

Half an hour ago,

The warm sea breeze blows, the leaves rustle,

Around the bright bonfire, laughter,

The Bucky Pirates, who spent a lot of money, took out their treasures and played various mini-games.

Eden, who was making fun everywhere, was pulled by a strange enthusiastic pirate at this time and brought to a stall.

The game is simple,

Find the one that hides the money among the twenty jars,

Everyone who plays has to pay 50 Baileys, and if you want to roll them over, you have to double the money.

The prizes are also divided into several grades,

The top prize is even a thousand Baileys!

There are a lot of people around, and it looks very lively.

But those who are familiar with it know that it is To.

Of course, Eden, who was immersed in excitement, naturally did not notice this,

With a sinister smile on the faces of a group of people, he happily paid the money, happily played the game, and then happily won ten top prizes in a row.

A few minutes later,

In the lively banquet, there was an ice cave that a niche of hot hula could not warm,

The host of the game is about to cry,

These Baileys, all of them are made together,

This shows the game of the pit man, ten, and he has lost himself!

Where did you find the wild daddy?

The point is that this little man is still addicted to playing, and he looks like he won't leave.

The surrounding pirates dare to be angry but dare not speak,

Who would dare to move under the Sea Devils?

But the money is really gone,

So everyone gritted their teeth and had to turn their heads to find the other crew members: "Dude, the opportunity to make a lot of money has come!" ”

A crew member: "Don't lie to me, how can you find me to make money!" ”

"Pirates don't lie to pirates!" (sound of chest beating)

In this way, the ice cave gradually expanded

When Bucky noticed the situation, there was already a circle of zombie-like pirates standing around the stall.

Everyone hugged their arms, stroked their thirsty biceps and pectoralis major muscles, looked at the people who were looking for themselves to make a lot of money, and showed a cold smile that you know.

Bucky leaned over and watched Eden play two,

The eyes are gradually brightening!

Everyone has their own reasons to go to sea,

Bucky's reason is simple, it is for the treasure,

He believes that in this world, there are some people who are inherently extremely sensitive to treasures!

For example, the little man in front of you!

The thirst for treasure gradually overpowered the fear in his heart.

So he "kindly" pulled Eden aside to chat,

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and after a few glasses of wine, they had become good brothers who did not seek to be born in the same year and month, let alone die in the same year and month, but only to find the treasure together.

After learning that the location of this island was also guided by Eden,

Bucky, who was already a little drunk, simply made a decision and immediately decided to start an exciting treasure hunt!

And then they really found the treasure!

and a woman.

"Who are you?" Eden, who pounced on the treasure, was taken aback.

The drunken Bucky also stretched out his head and babbled, "Is it the guard of the treasure, I. . . Bucky would never give the treasure to you! ”

If you want to rob him of Bucky's treasure, not to mention this woman, not even the red-haired Shanks!

Robin sighed and lowered his hand.

Shiro was nervous.

I didn't expect it to be two drunks.

Facing the vigilant gazes of the two, she waved her hand funny,

"Take them all if you want, they are not treasures that belong to me." As she spoke, she paused and reminded,

"However, if I were you, I would definitely leave first, and soon, agents from the World Government would arrive here, I don't think you would want to offend the World Government!"

Eden gave her a wary look, and seemed to realize that this woman was not some bad person or guard, and breathed a sigh of relief and moved his gaze behind her.

"Do you think the same way?"

Robin was creepy for a moment!

Behind her, there is obviously no one!

Subconsciously turn around,

Boom!

A punch in her abdomen,

Robin's eyes widened, blood was vomited, and he curled up on the ground like a ripe shrimp.

Black leather boots stepped on her sight,

Deep and cold.

"No, that's not what I thought." A man's voice came from above, a strange figure in a black suit, a bull's head mask, and a white cloak.

He lowered his head and looked at the woman on the ground who had made them so troubled and chased them all the way from the capital of the seven waters, and his voice was as calm as ever.

"I won't let you run away this time, Nicole Robin."

Eden was stunned for a moment, looked at the two, and muttered in a low voice, "I thought you were in a group." ”

"Maybe, I'll be able to become a colleague soon~" A seductive female voice came from behind Eden.

Eden's alcohol-anesthetized brain slowed down a little by half a beat, and before he could turn his head,

The whistling sound suddenly rose,

The terrible force was pumped against him,

Knock him out with his jewels, and bang him against the rock wall!

The drunken Bucky only then realized what was happening,

Drawing the knife, he staggered and turned around,

Pulling his throat, he yelled at the three strange figures who came out of the air gate behind him, "Bastard, you dare to hurt my brother, do you want to make two moves with me Bucky?" ”

But none of the three who walked out paid attention to him, a drunkard,

Walk in front of him.

"Don't. Look down on me! Bucky shouted, his arms slathering off, and stabbed the last burly figure wearing a cartoon bear's head mask.

The next moment

Bucky disappeared in place,

He slammed into the rock wall behind him, his eyes rolling and blood spurting out.

Rumble!

The hard rock crumbles and sinks downward.

In his original position, the man wearing the bull's head mask withdrew his feet, and the white cloak slowly fell on his body.

"Don't be careless, it's a Devil Fruit powerhouse." He glanced at the tall figure at the end.

"Sorry for my oversight." The tall figure wearing a cartoon bear hood confessed his mistake in a deep voice.

"What to do with these two people?"

A young male voice came from behind the two, and the man in the skull mask and black robe lifted Robin on the ground and asked.

"Killed."

The man in the bull-headed mask replied simply, without any hesitation, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.

These two people obviously have a problem with their origins, and killing them is the most time-saving and labor-saving choice.

The other three seemed to have grown accustomed to the ruthlessness of the leader,

The tall figure of the man in the skull mask and the tall figure in the cartoon bear mask walked towards Bucky and Eden, respectively.

Lift your feet,

"Arashi"

"Ahh

A soft sigh came from outside the cave,

"Why bother?"
