Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Luffy stood excitedly at the bow of the ship, looking at the island ahead, and shouted, "Wow, we're finally here! I wonder what fun things there are to do on this island!"

Robin stood quietly to the side, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart.

"I have a feeling that this island is somewhat unusual."

"Robin, you're overthinking it."

Then he heard Fanny say with a smile, and Robin could see the hint of conspiracy in his face.

Because he had this same expression when he tricked someone last time.

"Maybe there's a lot of treasure on this island!"

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro had already jumped off the ship.

Seeing this, Barto also jumped down.

Fanny also gave Robin a princess carry and used teleportation to teleport to the beach.

Gambia and his underlings simply lowered the stairs and walked down as if nothing had happened.

They're just ordinary people who're a bit stronger than others; they haven't reached that level yet.

Kin'emon and Kanjuro, for reasons unknown, volunteered to guard the house.

As for Frankie...

He wanted to repair the ship and take this opportunity to properly renovate the Forward Luffy Senpai.

……

"You finally came."

Zefa looked at the sharp-eyed person in front of him and slowly spoke, his tone revealing a hint of barely perceptible expectation.

"Ah."

The other party simply responded with a nod, their gaze calmly falling on Zefa.

After a moment of silence, Zephyr broke it again.

"Actually, I wanted to handle this myself, but that little guy Fanny was adamant about not agreeing."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? I see. In that case, I'll handle that guy."

The man nodded slightly, indicating his agreement to the arrangement.

"Perfect, this guy looks pretty durable, it's perfect as my whetstone."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere seemed to lighten up a bit.

At this moment, the man picked up his wine bowl, took a small sip, and said with emotion.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to sit and drink with a former admiral."

Zefa laughed when he heard this.

"Haha, life is unpredictable!"

"But speaking of which, Fanny did tell me that anyone who is pure of heart and upholds justice has the potential to become a Saint."

"I see, no wonder..."

The man nodded thoughtfully.

The two were not from the same camp, but they still had a long and engaging discussion over food and drinks.

I never expected that I would say something that hit the other person's sweet spot.

For a moment, I felt a sense of regret for not having met them sooner.

Then, Zefa carefully took out a pendant and handed it to the person opposite him.

"Get to the point. Fanny asked me to give you this; I hope it will be useful."

"Thank you, then I'll accept it without hesitation."

The person who received the item felt the sharp aura emanating from the pendant and was quite satisfied.

Then the two raised their wine bowls, looked at each other, and smiled.

He touched it, then drank it all in one gulp.

……

Chapter 161: Luffy, who is having a great time, has a video call with Miss Bakkin and Zephyr to reconcile accounts.

A rather unusual "show" is unfolding aboard the New Forward Luffy Senpai.

Tanaka was like a lamb to the slaughter, his eyes filled with terror, tightly bound by the sea stone chains.

It hung beside the keel of the ship like a pendant.

His disheveled appearance practically screamed, "I'm terrified!"

It occasionally let out a few desperate sobs, looking exactly like a pathetic creature.

Barto stood aside, watching all this with a smug smile on his face.

He's not like Luffy at all; as a seasoned thug, he's a professional!

That eye for detail is truly remarkable.

The moment he set foot on the island, he could tell at a glance that the islanders were not human!

They were all petty thugs in disguise.

Those guys were putting on airs, their acting was so exaggerated it was like they were performing a farce, it was full of flaws.

However, Bartolomeo knew perfectly well that Luffy was having a great time, and he couldn't spoil his fun.

Barto certainly has the ability to read people's expressions; after all, in the world of the high seas, emotional intelligence is sometimes more important than ability.

He thought to himself, "Hehe, let Luffy enjoy this 'surprise journey' while I just watch quietly."

The so-called traps on the island were completely transparent to the cowardly Usopp's Observation Haki, leaving him nowhere to hide.

But Luffy, being the curious child he is, was completely unaware of the trickery behind it all.

He was like a child who had discovered a new toy, excitedly running around the island.

They even deliberately stepped on the traps to test their feel, shouting as they did so.

"Wow, this feels so weird, like stepping on cotton, or maybe soft poop!"

Barto watched from the sidelines, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"Luffy-senpai, you need to be more careful. If it were anyone else, they would have been killed by these traps countless times already."

Just then, the great Usopp made his dazzling appearance.

He strode confidently, holding his beloved longbow in his hand, a mysterious smile on his face.

He looked up at the sky, felt the rhythm of the wind, and casually shot an arrow into the sky.

This arrow, seemingly casual, seemed to possess a magical power.

Countless swords rained down as if they had eyes, striking the pirates lurking in the forest with pinpoint accuracy.

Before the pirates could even react, they were shot down by a rain of swords, howling in pain as they fell to the ground.

Even poor Tanaka was given special treatment by Usopp, who shot him with an arrow and pinned him to the ground, unable to move.

He was like an insect nailed to a specimen board, struggling desperately, but to no avail.

He kept shouting, "Help! I was wrong, please let me go!"

That's Haki! Usopp's arrow was infused with Haki!

On the other hand, Miss Bakin was treated much better.

She sat leisurely on the Forward Luffy Senior, sipping fragrant tea, looking completely at ease.

Barto and the others also served her tea and refreshments with great respect, treating her like a VIP.

There was nothing they could do; Van Nistelrooy's attitude was what it was, and everyone had to give him face.

Miss Bakkin watched all this with a secret sense of pride.

Seeing that there was someone who understood, she stopped pretending and decided to pull off a magic trick.

With a series of crackling sounds, like firecrackers, she instantly returned to her original graceful and beautiful appearance.

This change stunned everyone around, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

"Wow, how did you do that?"

"Does she know magic?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, while Miss Bakkin smiled smugly and said, "Hmph, just a little trick. Let me show you."

Then, the group was kicked out by the annoyed Fanny.

So, before their video call with Zephyr, Miss Bakkin and Fanny started a reconciliation of accounts.

Luffy, Law, Usopp, Franky, and Kin'emon huddled together, peering through the crack in the door, their eyes wide open, afraid of missing a single detail.

According to Miss Barkin, the one who attacked the warship and cut off Zephyr's arm was "Weebull".

But this "Weibul" is not the same as that "Weibul".

The news was like a bomb exploding in everyone's hearts.

"Weevil" was actually a genetically engineered human created using Whitebeard's genes and Miss Bakkin's own genes, through MADS cloning experiments conducted with Vegapunk and others.

It sounds like a fantasy, but it's true.

"Do you know how difficult this experiment was? We spent a lot of time and effort on it."

As Miss Bakin spoke, she gestured, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"However, just as the experiment was about to succeed, a group of people in white attacked the laboratory."

"They appeared like ghosts, suddenly appearing and then stealing the perfectly crafted 'Weevil'."

At this point, Miss Bakkin's face showed a hint of anger and helplessness.
