Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Even so, when they learned that Wood and his group, who were their benefactors, needed supplies, the survivors still gratefully provided them with the resources they required, and resolutely refused to take a single penny.

Left with no other choice, Wood had to go back into the deep forests of the island with Ruth and the others, and they didn't emerge from the forest until nearly evening.

Ruth and another lieutenant-level companion each carried a sika deer under their arm and a large wild boar on their shoulder.

Wood walked at the very back, and when the townspeople saw the prey he brought back, they were all nearly speechless with astonishment.

Compared to Ruth and her group, the prey that Wood hunted could not be described as amazing, but rather as outrageous.

Despite being much larger than Ruth and his companions, Wood's physique was only that of a muscular man, yet the prey he was carrying was dozens of times larger than Ruth and his group.

From a distance, it really does look like a small mountain slowly moving, but if you get closer, you'll find that it's not a small mountain at all, but rather piles of ferocious beasts and their prey!

What's even more shocking is that the person carrying this mountain of prey was just a young man of about twenty years old.

And compared to the outrageous array of "trophies" on its shoulders, its size is negligible.

"boom------!"

With a sound that made the ground tremble slightly, the combat gear on Wood's shoulder quickly piled up into a small hill on the ground.

The children in the town, after their initial fear, now excitedly gathered around.

"Mom, look, even the tiger and the black bear were killed by the older brothers."

"This is all meat, and a lot of it is stuff I've never eaten before!"

No matter where they are, children are always the most carefree group. They get excited when they see a large number of dead prey in front of them.

The children's thinking was simple: with so much meat, they could have a big meal tonight.

However, the greedy child was soon scolded by the elders in the family and warned that these things belonged to their benefactors and had nothing to do with them.

"No, sister-in-law, please don't blame the children. These prey were originally prepared as a gift for you."

You provided us with fresh water and food, but refused to accept payment. Therefore, we can only reciprocate by giving you gifts.

"Furthermore, please do not refuse. Our ship has limited storage capacity. Even if we take all of this meat with us, it will just rot on the ship. So please accept our kindness."

If you really feel bad about it, then please provide us with more bars.

Meat and fish cannot be stored for long periods of time at sea without large freezers.

Therefore, pirates usually replenish their supplies with fresh water and other dry rations.

The townspeople refused to accept their Bailey no matter what, and after much thought, Wood finally felt that this was the only way to repay them.

By exchanging meat for grain, everyone gets what they need, and this also prevents the already struggling town from suffering further hardship.

Seeing that they could not refuse Wood's kindness, the townspeople finally accepted it and held a huge party that night.

The party was partly to thank Wood and his crew for eliminating the "One-Eyed Pirates," and partly to commemorate the dead in the town.

Wood and his men handed over the remaining dozens of One-Eyed Pirates to the townspeople for disposal. As for what punishment they ultimately received, Wood had no idea.

However, the next morning, the drunken residents of Bird Island discovered that Wood and his companions had left without saying goodbye.

The woman who had first greeted Wood and his group, holding a letter and a pirate flag, hurriedly sought out the town's new mayor.

The mayor glanced at the letter in his hand, then at the black pirate flag, his gaze fixed on a certain direction at sea.

"To everyone in Bird Town:"

We apologize for the delay, but due to some trivial matters, we simply cannot stay any longer and do not wish to trouble everyone further.

The pirate flag left on the table is the pirate crew flag we just came up with, even though we're still newbies as pirates.

But I believe that one day, our pirate crew will be famous throughout the entire sea! When our pirate crew becomes famous, if you don't mind, you can hang this flag on the island to protect this beautiful island.

A note left by naval traitor Wood.

After reading the letter, the mayor of Asuka Town unfolded the pirate flag in his hand. The design on it was not much different from that of a regular pirate flag; it was a skull and crossbones symbol.

However, behind this skull is the navy's unique seagull insignia, and a sharp sword, like justice descending from the heavens, pierces through the skull and seagull in the middle.

After learning that their benefactor's name was Wood, the residents of Flying Bird Town searched extensively and finally found clues about Wood in a recent newspaper.

"Naval traitor Wood, bounty of 50 million Berries! Crimes..., extremely brutal character."

After seeing Wood's bounty, the people of Bird Town finally understood why he was able to kill One-Eyed Dragon Bebarr: Wood's bounty was twice as much as Bebarr's!

As for the news reports about Wood, the people of Asuka Town felt that the World Government was just talking nonsense.

Their benefactor, Wood, was ruthless? If all of them were considered ruthless, then there probably wouldn't be any good people left in the world.

Releasing Impel Down prisoners to be their companions? That's utter nonsense! Wood and his group number only a dozen or so at most, where did this hundred prisoners come from? The World Government will stop at nothing to frame innocent people.

Mr. Wood and his men probably couldn't stand such a hypocritical navy, which is why they chose to defect!

Not long after Wood and his crew left, the new mayor of Flying Bird Town had already ordered the pirate flag left behind by Wood and his crew to be planted in the most conspicuous place in the town!

Chapter 139 Robin Secretly Follows the Ship!

Wood's original plan was to wait until they were famous throughout the seas before letting Bird Town fly their pirate flag.

However, Wood overlooked one problem: this was the Western Sea, not the Grand Line.

Although their pirate crew is not famous yet, Wood, with a bounty of 5000 million Berries, is already considered a big shot in the entire West Blue!

Don't you see how arrogant the one-eyed dragon Bebar, with a bounty of 2500 Berries, can be in the West Blue? Even the local naval branch doesn't dare to mess with him.

Wood's bounty was twice that of the other man, and he had done something so significant in Impel Down that he was already considered a very important figure in the West Blue.

However, what the people of Flying Bird Town didn't know was that Wood, whom they considered a big shot, was looking at the black-haired girl in front of him with a headache on his face.

Although they left their pirate flag in Asuka Town, Wood still didn't have a good idea for the name of his pirate crew.

As someone utterly hopeless at naming things, Wood racked his brains for hours, wasting countless brain cells, before finally turning to the collective wisdom of the masses.

Ruth and his colleagues had at least some clerical experience, so they should be able to come up with some decent names.

"The Emperor Pirates!"

"Sea King Pirates!"

"We were all excellent marines before, so we should naturally be called the Justice Pirates."

Listening to Ruth and the others' enthusiastic comments, Wood covered his face in exasperation, feeling utterly stupid for having placed such high hopes on these idiots.

"How about we call it the Dark Pirates?"

"Rejected, that name is too dark... Wait, Robin, what are you doing on our ship!"

Upon hearing the third-rate name beside him, Wood, as usual, denied it. However, he quickly realized that the voice that had just spoken was a woman's.

Their ship was full of men; there shouldn't have been any women on board.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Wood saw Robin slowly walking out of his captain's cabin, holding a book from Wood's bookshelf, acting as if he were no stranger to him.

"Isn't the name 'Dark Pirates' quite good? It's the name of a legendary pirate crew that appears in this adventure novel."

This book was found on the captain's bookshelf. The captain must have read it already, right? Don't you think the title is quite nice?

Thus, the ship they were on had changed from a naval warship to the ship of the One-Eyed Pirates, and Bebard's originally luxurious captain's cabin had now naturally become Wood's room.

To demonstrate his cultural sophistication, Wood deliberately emulated successful people, having Ruth and her companions bring in numerous books to decorate the room.

However, Wood never even opened these books, let alone read their contents.

However, faced with Robin's question, in order not to affect his imposing and erudite image, Wood could only bite the bullet and say, "Since it's my book, then of course I've read it."

However, I feel that even if it's a good name, it's still not a good idea to use a name that someone else has already used..."

Hearing Wood say this with feigned composure, Robin's lips curled into a smile that no one else could detect, as if he had gained some unknown understanding of Wood.

In fact, everything she just said was a lie; the book in her hand wasn't an adventure novel at all, but a travelogue.

Moreover, she had only just started reading the book, and there was no such thing as a Dark Pirate Crew in it at all; what she had just said was all just random nonsense.

However, Robin did not expose Wood's stubbornness in trying to save face. Instead, after some thought, he offered several other options.

"The Ghost Pirates, the Abyss Pirates..."

As expected of the cunning Nico Robin, almost all the names she comes up with are full of dark vibes, to the point that Wood is speechless with disbelief.

"Are you sure these pirate crew names are from the book, and not something you made up yourself?"

"No, no, you almost fooled me! Now is not the time to investigate the pirate crew's name. Tell me why you're on our ship!"

Wood wants to get along with Robin, which is understandable, after all, she will be one of the main characters in the future, and she was also one of Wood's favorite characters in the past.

However, Wood never thought of competing with Luffy for Robin. He even wondered if Luffy and his crew would still be able to go to Enies Lobby if Robin were gone.

“Is there anything wrong with this? You promised me that I would help you find the treasure, and in return, you would help me deal with the trouble caused by the One-Eyed Pirates.”

Robin didn't care at all when Wood questioned her. Instead, she found a deck chair, then found a good spot on the deck, and began her leisurely reading time.

"That's right. According to our previous agreement, the 'One-Eyed Pirates' have been completely wiped out by us, so aren't you free now?"

Wood was completely bewildered. He felt that his analysis should be correct, so was it possible that the One-Eyed Pirates had a backup plan, such as a powerful figure behind them?

"The One-Eyed Pirates were indeed wiped out, but the trouble they caused me is not over."

If I wanted to stay on Asuka Island, I would have chosen any other island to live on long ago.

But I also have my own dreams. I want to understand the true history of this world, which is why I wander around the seas.
