Chapter 410 Fighting for Justice!
The bandit leader's face turned pale instantly.

"That Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty exceeding one billion?!"

"That's right!"

Luffy grinned.

"Now you know fear?"

The bandit leader immediately knelt on the ground.

"Sorry! We're retreating immediately!"

"Please spare us!"

"Want to leave?"

Sanji kicked him.

"Return everything you stole first!"

"besides!"

Chopper pointed at him angrily.

"You have hurt so many innocent people!"

"We must take responsibility!"

Meanwhile, Nami and her group also encountered bandits in the forest.

These bandits are destroying the newly recovered plants in search of a legendary treasure.

"stop!"

Nami shouted angrily.

What are you doing?!

"These plants finally recovered!"

"Huh? What's a few broken trees?"

"A burly bandit with a face full of scars said disdainfully."

"What I'm looking for is gold and silver!"

"Cut down these broken trees that are blocking the way!"

As he spoke, he raised his axe to chop down a sapling that had just recovered.

"Don't hurt my children!"

The ancient tree's angry roar echoed throughout the forest.

Countless vines sprouted from the ground and tightly bound the bandits.

"What?! The tree can talk?!"

The bandits were terrified.

"There's a monster here!"

"It's not a monster!"

Robin explained.

"These are the guardians of the forest!"

"You've destroyed his forest, of course you'll be punished!"

"Twenty-round flowers—strangulation!"

Robin activated her ability, and her outstretched arm subdued all the remaining bandits.

"Frankie fires!"

Franky fired a powerful cannonball, destroying all the sabotage tools brought by the bandits.

"Thunderous Weather - Lightning Gun!"

Nami's lightning attack sent the most stubborn bandits smoking from the shockwave.

Soon, the bandits were completely subdued.

Usopp also played a crucial role from the high vantage point.

He used his sniper scope to observe the entire battlefield, ready to provide support at any time.

"Ultimate Kill - Exploding Star!"

His attack struck several bandit leaders who were trying to escape with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ultimate Kill - Smoke Star!"

The smoke bombs created a fog that obscured the bandits' vision, providing cover for the Straw Hat crew's actions.

"Ultimate Kill - Plant Star!"

The specially designed seed bullets quickly sprouted vines on the ground, restricting the bandits' movements.

In less than an hour, the Black Wolf Mountain bandits were completely defeated.

More than a hundred bandits were all subdued, and all the loot they had stolen was recovered.

The bandit leader, Black Wolf, was a burly middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face.

"hateful!"

He cursed in frustration.

"We've already investigated thoroughly; this should just be an ordinary little island!"

"How can there be such a powerful pirate crew?!"

"Because we are friends."

Luffy answered simply.

"Of course we should help our friends when they're in trouble."

"friend?"

Black Wolf looked at him, puzzled.

"Are you friends with these civilians?"

"Is it worth making enemies of our bandit group for these worthless people?"

What does "worthless" mean?

Sanji said angrily.

Every life is precious!

"Moreover, these islanders are kind people and deserve our protection!"

"Kind?"

Black Wolf sneered.

"In this dog-eat-dog world, kindness will only be taken advantage of!"

"Only power and wealth truly matter!"

You're wrong.

Borsalino walked over.

"True power comes from inner justice, not from external violence."

"You bandits only know how to plunder and destroy; you'll never understand what true strength is."

"Hmph! That sounds nice!"

Black Wolf retorted defiantly.

"Aren't you pirates the same?"

"What's the difference between those who burn, kill, and loot on the sea and us?"

"The difference is huge!"

Luffy said seriously.

"True pirates adventure for their dreams!"

"We will not harm innocent people, nor will we destroy other people's homes!"

"Instead, go find your own treasure and realize your own dreams!"

"dream?"

Black Wolf sneered disdainfully.

"What use is something so vague and ethereal?"

"Can it be eaten as food? Can it be exchanged for money?"

"Dreams are the most precious treasure in the world!"

Chopper said excitedly.

"More precious than any gold or silver treasure!"

"A life without dreams is like a soulless walking corpse!"

"That's right!"

Zoro also expressed his support.

"True strong people all have their own beliefs and dreams!"

"Useless trash like you who only know how to plunder will never understand what true power is!"

"You...you idealists!"

The black wolf roared angrily.

"When you all face the harsh realities of life and suffer the consequences, you'll realize I'm right!"

"We won't."

Nami said firmly.

"Because we have partners, dreams, and beliefs."

"These things will give us boundless strength, enabling us to overcome any difficulty."

"You are driven only by greed and violence, and are destined to fail."

Just then, the residents of Kasuga Island arrived at the scene one after another.

They were so moved by the Straw Hat Pirates' victory over all the bandits that they burst into tears.

"Great! We're saved!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates are truly our benefactors!"

"First they saved our forests, and now they've saved our homes!"

Ancient trees also came from deep within the forest.

"Children, are you alright?"

He inquired about the islanders' situation with concern.

"We're alright, Grandpa Ancient Tree!"

The islanders answered gratefully.

"Thanks to the Straw Hat Pirates, we're safe and sound!"

Thank you.

The ancient tree turned towards the Straw Hat Pirates.

"They saved us once again."

"nothing!"

Luffy waved his hand.

"This is what we should do!"

"Friends are supposed to help each other!"

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Black Wolf's expression became even more twisted.

"Hypocrisy! It's all hypocrisy!"

He cursed viciously.

"No matter how noble you pretend to be now, when faced with real danger, won't you just abandon all these burdens?"

"Shut up!"

Sanji kicked Black Wolf in the face.

"Don't insult our friends!"

"And we will never abandon our partners and friends!"

"This is the belief of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"That's right!"

Others also expressed their opinions.

"Partners are the most important!"

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will be together!"

"This is our bond!"

The islanders were even more moved by what the Straw Hat Pirates said.

"You guys really are the best pirates in the world!"

The old town mayor said, his voice trembling.

"If only all pirates were like you guys!" "They will!"

Luffy said confidently.

"One day, there will be many more pirates like us on the high seas!"

"Adventure for dreams, fight for justice!"

"So, what do we do now?"

Nami inquired.

"Should we just release them?"

"Don't let it go!"

The residents said angrily.

"They burned down our houses and stole our property!"

"We must take responsibility!"

"But we have no prisons here, and no navy."

The town mayor said with difficulty.

"Moreover, supervising so many people is very difficult."

"Leave this problem to me."

Borsalino stepped forward.

“I can contact the nearest naval base and have them take these criminals.”

"As a former admiral, I still have this authority."

"Very good!"

The islanders said happily.

"That way we won't have to worry about them retaliating again!"

"Before the navy arrives, we'll lock them in makeshift cages."

"Frankie suggested."

“I can make some sturdy cages.”

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

The mayor said gratefully.

Thus, all members of the Black Wolf Mountain bandits were imprisoned, awaiting the arrival of the Navy.

They returned all the looted property to the islanders.

"Thank you so much!"

The islanders once again expressed their gratitude to the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Without you, we don't know what we would do."

Don't say that!

Luffy smiled憨厚ly.

"We just did what we were supposed to do!"

"yes!"

Chopper nodded in agreement.

"Of course we should lend a helping hand when we see a friend in trouble!"

"That's the meaning of partnership!"

"We are also very happy that you are all safe and sound."

Robin said gently.

"Hopefully, this won't happen again."

"We will strengthen our defenses."

The mayor promised.

"And Grandpa Ancient Tree also promised to help us protect our home."

"If there is any danger, the plants in the forest will give an early warning."

"That's good."

Nami nodded in relief.

To celebrate the end of the crisis, the islanders insisted on holding a grand banquet for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"We must be allowed to show them some hospitality!"

The mayor earnestly requested.

"You've done so much for us, we must express our gratitude!"

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

Luffy happily agreed.

"I love attending parties!"

As a result, the entire Kasuga Island was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

The islanders brought out their best food and drinks, preparing a sumptuous feast for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Sanji also used his skills to create many delicious dishes with fresh local ingredients.

"These are salads made with wild vegetables from the forest!"

He proudly introduced his work.

"Both nutritious and delicious!"

"And this is a dessert made with local specialty fruits!"

"The taste is absolutely superb!"

"It's so delicious!"

Luffy ate heartily.

"Sanji's cooking is truly the best in the world!"

"Haha, you flatter me!"

Sanji smiled smugly.

At the banquet, the islanders also played local traditional music for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Brooke also took out her violin and played several beautiful pieces with them.

"Music really can bring people closer together."

Brooke remarked with emotion.

"Regardless of identity or race, people can communicate emotions through music."

"That's right!"

Luffy raised his glass.

"For friendship!"

"For friendship!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate this wonderful evening.

The next morning, the Straw Hat Pirates prepared to leave Kasuga Island.

The islanders all came to the port to see them off, and many shed tears of reluctance.

"I really wish you could stay a few more days."

A little girl held Chopper's hand and said.

"I want to play with the little reindeer a little longer."

"We'll come back again if we have the chance!"

Chopper gently patted the little girl's head.

"How about we play together again sometime?"

"OK!"

The little girl burst into laughter.

You must keep your promise!

"certainly!"

Luffy patted his chest.

"Our Straw Hat Pirates value integrity above all else!"

The ancient tree also arrived at the port.

"Have a safe journey, children."

He said kindly.

"I hope you can all achieve your dreams."

"Thank you, Grandpa Ancient Tree!"

Everyone bowed to the ancient tree in gratitude.

"We will never forget the wonderful time we spent on Kasuga Island!"

As the islanders waved goodbye, the Thousand Sunny slowly sailed away from Kasuga Island.

On the ship, everyone was talking about their experience.

"Those bandits are truly despicable."

Nami said indignantly.

"He has no dreams or ideals, yet he hurts innocent people."

"yes."

Zoro agreed.

"Compared to them, we pirates with dreams are far more noble."

"However, this cannot be generalized."

Robin analyzed the situation rationally.

"Some pirate crews are just like those mountain bandits, only knowing how to plunder and destroy."

"There aren't many pirate crews that truly have dreams."

"Then we must set a good example!"

Luffy said firmly.

"Let more people know that pirates can be good people too!"

"We can also fight for justice!"

"That's right!"

Chopper excitedly echoed.

"We're going to become the best pirate crew in the world!"

"We must not only realize our own dreams, but also help more people in need!"

"That's a great idea."

Borsalino smiled with satisfaction.

"Your spirit is exactly what the world needs most."

"I hope that one day, all pirates can be like you."

Three days after leaving Kasuga Island, the Thousand Sunny was sailing slowly on the calm sea.

According to Nami's calculations on the sea chart, they need to find a nearby island to resupply.

The ship's fresh water and food reserves are running low, and a resupply point must be found as soon as possible.

"Nami, are there any islands ahead?"

Luffy lay on the lion's head at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance.

"I haven't seen land for days."

"According to the nautical chart, there should be a small island ahead."

Nami carefully examined the nautical chart.

"However, this island is recorded as uninhabited, so there may be no supply depots."

"It doesn't matter!"

Luffy said excitedly.

"There might be something interesting on a deserted island!"

"Besides, we can find our own fresh water and food!"

“That’s true.”

Sanji nodded.

"Uninhabited islands usually have wild animals and plants that can be used as food."
