Chương 2: Page 2

You pirates are truly ruthless.

Bits walked into the pirates' view, disdainfully flicking his blood-stained right index finger, and said unhappily.

Upon seeing the stranger, Heman immediately waved his hand and gave his men an order:

"Shoot him! Kill him!!"

"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship!"

Beetz, enraged, launched into a tirade. Normally, at this point, the villain wouldn't yell, "Who are you?!"

Then after rambling on for a while, he finally took action because he disagreed with the protagonist?

How could that bastard just order his men to fire!

In desperation, Bits could only cross his arms in front of him and rush towards the pirates on the other side.

Even so, he still inevitably took a few hits.

"It hurts, you bastard!"

Amidst the pirates' stares that screamed "monster," Bits charged into the crowd, knocking them all down with a single punch.

Even the first mate, Rod, was sent flying by Bitz's whip kick, crashing into several ruins before falling silent.

In the blink of an eye, pirates number 2 and 30 were all wiped out, leaving only He-Man, who had just given the order, standing.

He-Man stared wide-eyed, his body trembling as he looked at his fallen underlings.

When Bitts looked at him, he didn't hesitate for a second and immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.

"Spare me, spare me, sir, spare me!"

Bitts stepped forward, kicked him to the ground, and placed his right foot on his chest, interrogating him from above:

"I'm asking you, what sea area is this? What year is it in the Maritime Calendar? And who are you?"

"Which... which sea area? This is the Grand Line."

Heman was taken aback by this strange question and answered instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Bitts increased the pressure on his feet.

"Continue, keep going!"

"Ah~," Heman cried out in pain, and then, without further hesitation, he quickly told everything he knew.

"Please be gentle, sir. This year is the 1520th year of the Sea Calendar. I am He-Man, the captain of the Hunting Pirates, with a bounty of 1400 million Berries."

He blurted out everything Bitts wanted to know, even revealing his bounty, fearing the other man might trample him to death.

'1520 in the Sea Calendar? Isn't that the year Wang Luffy set sail?'

And I'm still on the Grand Line, this is getting interesting.

After removing his foot from Seaman's chest and taking two steps back to allow him to catch his breath, Beetz continued, "..."

"Let me ask you again, have you ever heard of Straw Hat Luffy? Has the Shichibukai Crocodile been defeated?"

"Eh, this, this, I've never heard of this name before, and there doesn't seem to be any news of the Sand Crocodile being defeated."

Heman sat up and answered in a low voice, somewhat uneasy.

As he spoke, he carefully glanced at the other person's face. Seeing that Bitz was looking down as if he was thinking about something, he immediately racked his brains to think of a way to survive the current situation.

"grown ups."

"Ok?"

Bitz looked up somewhat annoyed at being interrupted.

When he was met with a fierce look in his eyes, He-Man felt as if he saw a raging giant ape roaring at him.

"Wait, wait, sir, I'm willing to trade my looted treasure for my life, please spare me this time."

"Idiot, even if I kill you, your treasure will still be mine."

Hearing He-Man's pleas for mercy, Beetz ruthlessly raised his hand, and a beam of light shot from his fingertips pierced He-Man's heart.

"Whew~", Bitts blew on his fingers and looked with satisfaction at the lifeless He-Man lying on the ground.

"My pirated hole wave looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

"Alright, let's get to work. I'll accept your treasure; it'll be just the right amount of start-up capital for my business."

After dealing with the He-Man Pirates, Beetz happily began cleaning up the battlefield.

They packed up all the gold and silver treasures that Heman and his men had painstakingly looted, preparing to take them away.

Just as Bitz was taking stock of his spoils, an uninvited guest arrived outside the ruins.

"It's quite a coincidence that you're hiding here. I hope you haven't damaged this precious ancient site."

Gazing at the familiar flag hanging at the entrance of the ruins, fluttering in the wind, Robin adjusted his cowboy hat, his expression turning slightly grim.

After saying that, she adjusted the shoulder bag on her back and carefully walked into the ruins.

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful."

Ironically, the group of bounty hunters that He-Man and his crew encountered at sea were the same group that Robin was currently working for, Baroque Works.

Robin learned from certain sources that this deserted island once harbored a hidden civilization, which is why he made a special trip to investigate.

And so, He-Man, who had just finished his raid, happened to run into Robin.

Although they escaped at the time, little did they know that they would end up at the very destination Robin wanted to explore.

Even without Bitts' intervention, they would likely have met their demise anyway.

To deal with a criminal with a bounty of only 1400 million, Robin did not notify her subordinates who were still waiting for her on the shore.

Using her years of experience on the run and in the underworld, she carefully infiltrated the ruins without making a sound.

Just when she thought it was all thanks to her superb infiltration skills, the scene inside the ruins shocked her so much that she stared wide-eyed.

'This is... the He-Man Pirates? What happened to them that they were all wiped out?'

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Robin's instincts told her that she had to leave quickly, and that's exactly what she intended to do.

She carefully moved her feet, slowly retreating without making a sound.

bang~ Suddenly, Robin felt something bump against her back. The touch was warm, unlike the broken stones in the ruins, but rather like a human body.

'Oops!'

She quickly took a few steps forward to create some distance, and as she turned around, she clasped her hands together, ready to use her Devil Fruit powers.

But in the next second, a large hand quickly and forcefully grabbed her neck and lifted her up with one hand.

"There's still one who slipped through the net, and such a beautiful woman at that. What a stroke of luck!"

Beetz's joyful voice came, and Robin opened her eyes with difficulty upon hearing it, finally seeing the person's appearance.

Before him stood a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, possessing a striking yet slightly sinister appearance.

The other person was muscular and strong, and the arm that was locking his throat was clearly defined and muscular.

No matter how much Robin struggled and thrashed, he remained unmoved.

While Robin was sizing up Beetz, Beetz was also sizing up the other person.

He has long black hair, blue eyes, and a healthy wheat-colored complexion, perhaps due to his living environment.

Although her face was distorted due to her inability to breathe, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

Wearing a purple crop top, she not only revealed her flat and smooth belly, but also made her full breasts look even more tempting.

Beneath the short purple hot pants that barely reached the top of her thighs were a pair of long, straight, full, and powerful legs.

In the struggle, his long legs, clad in leather riding boots, kicked at Bitches several times, but Bitches brushed them off each time.

This hair and eye color, this outfit, made Bitz feel inexplicably familiar.

But seeing that the woman was almost too weak to struggle and was being choked to death by him, he let go first, lest such a beautiful woman perish.

With a 'thud,' Robin fell awkwardly to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing and panting heavily.

Bitts knelt down in front of her, grabbed her hair, and tilted her head back to examine her face closely.

'Huff... huff... Who is this man? Such immense strength! I almost died just now.'

Robin still feels lingering fear when she recalls the suffocating feeling she just experienced.

In just one simple exchange, Robin noticed the huge gap between the two.

Since we are no match for them in terms of strength, we can only hope to appease them with words.

"Ahem~ This handsome gentleman seems to have misunderstood. I was just a traveler who happened to be passing by, not an accomplice of that group of pirates."

Robin thought the other person had mistaken her identity and wanted to speak up to clarify the misunderstanding.

But Beetz's next words made her expression change drastically, revealing a look of horror.

"You are... Nico Robin, right?"

After looking for so long, Beetz finally realized that this outfit was just Robin's classic look when she first appeared in the original work.

Unexpectedly, in this godforsaken place, he actually encountered one of the Straw Hat Pirates' twin beauties.

"You... you know me? Are you working for the government?"

The moment his identity was exposed, Robin immediately thought of the government CP personnel who had been relentlessly pursuing him for years.

The look in his eyes toward Bitz now held a hint of fear and despair.

"No."

Beetz immediately denied her guess, and before Robin could ask any further questions, he hoisted her onto his shoulder and headed into the ruins.

"Let's not talk about that now, Nico Robin, I need your help with something."

"Wha, what?"

The sudden turn of events left Robin unable to adapt for a while.

But Beetz didn't care about her thoughts. He carried her straight into one of the tents left by the pirates and threw Robin onto the blanket.

Stroking the soft, comfortable blanket beneath her, she watched the young man turn and pull the tent flap shut.

A bad feeling suddenly popped into Robin's mind, and he asked in a surprised and hesitant tone:

"What do you want me to help you with? I only have some research experience in archaeology, and a tent doesn't seem like a suitable place for research."

Beetz smiled and shook his head, untying the tail that was wrapped around his waist and waving it in front of Robin.

"As you can see, I am a minority group called Saiyans."

So rare that I am now the only one left of this ethnic group.

So I would like to trouble you to help me continue the Saiyan bloodline so that it doesn't disappear.

As an accomplished historian, I imagine you wouldn't want a nation to disappear from history books.

Robin: After a long silence, Robin slowly exhaled and spoke with mixed feelings:

"It's unbelievable that you have the nerve to say such shameless things..."

If I say I refuse, will you agree?

"No," Bitts replied firmly and decisively.

Robin sighed again, then lay down resignedly without struggling.

"Please hurry, I still have work to do."

"... I'm sorry, but I have to decline."

Speechless, Beetz had to admire the other person's audacity.

She's a woman who's managed to survive in the underworld for years while being hunted down; her ability to adapt is truly remarkable.

But this is good, it saves him from wasting his breath trying to persuade her.
