Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Bilu leaped out of the ground like a demon crawling out of hell.

His entire body was red, and his muscles were swollen like balloons, making him look terrifying.

"go to hell!"

Biru roared and charged toward Dezaya.

Dezaa turned pale with fright and retreated repeatedly.

Seeing his beloved about to be killed, Bartolomeo's inner power erupted, and he actually used the same Moonwalk Instant that Luffy had just used.

"Shield rebellion!"

Bartolomeo shouted and blocked Biru's scorching blow.

At the same time, he used the rebound force of the barrier to send Bilu flying.

Biru tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

As the heat dissipated, it became clear that Biru was covered in a layer of silver metallic plating, a method he used to protect himself.

"volcanic eruptions!"

Not to be outdone, Bilu launched another attack.

He reached into his stomach and began frantically creating lava.

The scene was like a mad magician performing a magic trick, with lava continuously gushing from his hands as if it were endless.

"Unleash my inner universe!"

"A tribute to the divine fist? Barrier barrier? Superstar fist!"

Bartolomeo was not to be outdone; he wrapped his hands with layers of barrier power until they became enormous.

This barrier fist is like a giant meteor hammer, exuding a powerful aura.

Bartolomeo took a deep breath and leaped high into the air using Moonwalk, his eyes closed as if gathering strength.

Finally, Bartolomeo opened his eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.

The giant fist barrier slowly became covered with Armament Haki, instantly turning black.

He crashed down like a meteor, braving the lava spewing from Biru's body.

With a "crack" and the sound of shattering glass, the silver metal on Bilu's body flew off like snowflakes under the powerful impact.

Bilu, like a puppet with its strings cut, collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Chapter 159 The Truth About Silver Mine Island, Tanaka's Preparation for Revenge.

With his face covered in blood, Tanaka clutched a treasure chest and fled for his life.

He can't stay on Silver Mine Island any longer.

However, looking at the treasure chest, Tanaka Yasushi sighed that the trip had been worthwhile.

Tanaka's face was covered in blood, and his hair was a mess as if it had been electrocuted. He kept looking back as he ran.

She no longer has the greasy hair and powdered face she used to have.

In his eyes, fear and excitement were intertwined, but his steps did not slow down at all.

"However, hehe, looking at this treasure chest, this trip was worth it."

The thought of what was inside the treasure chest caused a strange smile to appear on his face, which had been contorted with fear.

Now everyone's attention is drawn to the berserk Bilu.

But while everyone was busy watching Bilu's performance, Tanaka quietly did something big.

He found the core of this silver mine island: the Paramecia-type Silver-Silver Fruit!

Tanaka went to great lengths to obtain this Devil Fruit.

He paid with a specially made bottle of "killer drug".

This thing is no ordinary item; Tesoro obtained it from the Celestial Dragons two years ago at a high price.

Each cadre in their organization only has one, making them extremely precious.

"Hmph, now it seems it was worth it!"

Tanaka comforted himself as he ran.

"With this silver fruit, we will have an endless supply of Pele."

"So what if he becomes the Golden Emperor? I, Tanaka, can just cultivate another Silver Emperor and still dominate this sea!"

Thinking of this, he seemed to see himself standing at the top of the world, admired by countless people, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.

But just as he was immersed in his beautiful dream, a woman appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"The Straw Hat Pirates, the Devil Child, Nico Robin!"

The moment Tanaka saw this woman, his smile froze on his face, replaced by anger and helplessness.

It felt as bad as swallowing a fly.

"Why this woman of all people!"

He inwardly groaned, feeling a surge of frustration.

Robin stood there quietly, a faint smile on her lips, staring straight at Tanaka.

It made his whole body tingle.

Looking at the devilishly beautiful woman before him, Tanaka knew he was in deep trouble.

His ability with the Penetration Fruit can only penetrate inorganic matter outside the human body.

But Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit is practically his nemesis.

Wherever Robin looks, arms will grow there, specifically designed to counter his Instant-Instant Fruit.

"Those who know what's good for them will put the treasure chest containing the Devil Fruit on the ground."

Robin's voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an irresistible air of authority.

Although Tanaka was extremely unwilling, he knew that if he didn't obey today, he might not be able to leave this silver mine island.

Helpless, he could only glare at Robin fiercely and reluctantly put the treasure chest on the ground.

Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared on the ground, deftly opening the treasure chest and pulling out the glittering silver fruit.

Then, like a relay race, the Devil Fruit was passed from hand to hand until it finally landed safely in Robin's hands.

Tanaka felt incredibly frustrated watching Robin easily take away the treasure he had worked so hard to obtain.

"Hmph, just wait for me."

While Robin was focused on receiving the Devil Fruit, Tanaka made a harsh statement, then turned sideways and, like a nimble mouse, decisively scurried into the wall next to him.

After noticing Tanaka's actions, Robin immediately activated her Observation Haki to investigate.

"This guy runs really fast; he's already at the beach."

Robin frowned slightly and said softly.

However, she didn't particularly care.

She originally came to Silver Mine Island to see if there were any historical sites, but she didn't expect to have this unexpected discovery, so the trip was worthwhile.

……

Q: Who would be so bored and idle as to cause trouble everywhere for a little bit of profit?

A: Amelie... the world government.

These world government officials just can't stand not getting a beating every day.

And so, the proposal for a supplementary list of new Shichibukai was placed on the Five Elders' desk.

At this moment, the person ranked first on the list was none other than Edward Weevil, who was known as the "son of the great pirate Whitebeard".

The Five Elders looked at the name, a complex expression flashing in their eyes.

Don't assume they're discussing some grand plan to save the world.

Actually, they are looking at a proposal to supplement the list of new Shichibukai.

"What do you think of this list?"

"See with your eyes."

"What are you looking at? I don't care who it is."

The position of Shichibukai is, frankly speaking, reserved for nobles like Doflamingo who have been living in exile.

Incidentally, we'll invite some exceptionally capable and easily controlled individuals to serve as lackeys and slaves for the World Government.

Some pirates go to sea to burn, kill, and plunder, but some pirates just act on impulse. We can't condemn them all, can we?

However, once you set sail, you'll be defined as a pirate, without a doubt.

Don't our world government and navy have any dignity?

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, to put it bluntly, have opened a door for pirates. As long as they kneel down and call him "godfather," they'll receive huge benefits!

Even if you have committed numerous evils in the past, my World Government can simply turn the page with a single word!

Look at Bucky, how sensible he is.

He had a bunch of vicious thugs under his command, but now he's reformed and started a lucrative business like express delivery.

See, that's what you call professional!

As for Edward Weebull, whatever.

This is a good opportunity to test the strength of your Holy Domain.

Even if they were punished by that lord, the Five Elders would accept it.

I don't know what magic that golden apple had that even allowed that lord to be bribed.
