One Piece : Bounty Hunter King! Chapter 66: Shelf Life? Cyrus: Can't Overthink It

Although he hadn't known Cyrus for long, Capone Bege felt that the "minor conflict" Cyrus ntioned was definitely not that simple.

However, when it ca to Doflamingo, although Bege himself was a man who stirred up trouble, he had no desire to get involved in this so-called minor conflict.

One was a Shichibukai, the other was a guy who could hold his own against Admiral Aokiji.

Capone Bege thought for a mont, his gaze shifting back to Robin.

"The World Governnt has already received the news. I've sensed it here in the West Blue; those guys are frantically searching for this woman."

Cyrus turned his head to glance at Robin, who was hugging her sword.

"So?"

"The previous plan is no longer viable."

Hearing this, Capone Bege chewed on the cigar in his mouth.

"There is another way. I can send you to the Flower Country. Their fleet is heading to the Grand Line. Perhaps you can blend in on one of their ships."

After saying that, Capone Bege added, "Of course, if you want, you can still follow the original plan. It's just that I won't be getting too involved anymore."

He had no desire to go up against the World Governnt.

"The Flower Country?"

Cyrus turned to look at Robin.

"The Flower Country is considered a pirate nation, but it's also a mber nation of the World Governnt," Robin explained, noticing Cyrus's gaze.

"I know."

Cyrus stroked his chin. "The leader of the Eight Treasure Navy."

"Chin Jao, a formidable man who once fought against the Navy Hero Garp. His bounty was over 500 million Belly, but after his battle with Garp back then, he doesn't seem to go out to sea much anymore," Robin answered imdiately.

She seed to be very knowledgeable about these events.

However, Capone Bege, who had been observing Cyrus's expression from the side, suddenly had a bad feeling.

That look on his face... was he getting interested?

Well, it was none of his business. In fact, he was rather looking forward to seeing what might happen next.

"Then let's go to the Flower Country!"

Cyrus made his decision instantly.

"There are bound to be a large number of World Governnt spies there!" Robin reminded him.

"It doesn't matter. After all, one of my purposes for setting out to sea is to find and fight these powerful people."

Cyrus waved his hand dismissively.

Real combat would certainly lead to faster improvent than training alone.

After his fight with Aokiji, Cyrus already had a decent understanding of his current strength.

In his normal state, he could fight guys on Jinbei's level.

But with his trump cards revealed, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against a Navy Admiral.

Although the duration was relatively short, during that ti, he could abandon all defense and unleash various high-cost techniques.

It was even possible to decide the victor within that window.

If that didn't work, he could still make a safe escape.

Since that was the case, there was no need to be overly concerned.

After the battle with Aokiji, Cyrus's ntality had quietly changed.

"In that case, I'll have my n send you to the Flower Country."

Seeing that Cyrus had made his decision, Capone Bege didn't hesitate.

He raised his hand and beckoned to his n, and soon soone on a large ship waved back.

Cyrus didn't linger.

He boarded the ship with Robin, and it set sail shortly after.

...

"Godfather, it seems we won't have much interaction with this person!" said Gotti, the negotiator, as he sidled up to Capone Bege.

"Yes, you're absolutely right. But who knows what the future holds? If he becos a major figure on the seas, then I've made a huge profit. If not, I haven't lost anything. What I'm doing now ans nothing to ," Capone Bege said calmly, chewing on his cigar.

"The Godfather is right!"

Gotti nodded upon hearing this.

"We'll have to go to the Grand Line eventually anyway," Capone Bege said suddenly.

The people around him grew excited at his words.

Although the Four Seas were vast, the Grand Line was the heart of this world. Countless treasures and powerful individuals were on the Grand Line.

The people of this world all yearned for that place.

...

On the ship.

"Why did he help you? Capone Bege, I know of him. He caused a lot of bloodshed in the West Blue before," Robin said, unable to hold back her question as she watched Cyrus training by himself in the bright cabin.

"Curious about that?"

Cyrus turned his head to look at Robin and said with a smile.

"Yes. He's not a simple man!"

"That has nothing to do with . I just gave him a favor, and he needs the opportunity to use that favor in the future."

Cyrus waved his hand.

He wouldn't have much to do with Capone Bege.

If Capone Bege still headed to the Grand Line as he did in the original tiline, it would be a long ti from now.

No one knew what would happen during this period.

Robin studied Cyrus, her mind replaying the events that had occurred during their brief acquaintance.

She always had a feeling that Cyrus seed to have known her for a long ti.

That feeling couldn't be wrong.

But she was certain that their first eting was when he found her in her hiding place.

Her life on the run had made Robin very vigilant and sensitive.

She didn't believe that Cyrus simply wanted to find her as a companion.

After all, with the strength Cyrus had displayed, finding any companion would be easy.

"Don't overthink it!" Cyrus suddenly said. He naturally knew what Robin was thinking.

After all, when Robin first appeared, she was a woman with deep and complex thoughts, even joining the Straw Hat Pirates with her own agenda.

It was only after Enies Lobby that Robin truly changed.

"By my side, things can't possibly get any worse than they were before, can they?"

"I suppose that's true!"

Robin was taken aback for a mont, then a smile graced her face.

Seeing Robin's smile, Cyrus froze.

It wasn't that he was captivated by her beauty, but rather an image suddenly popped into his head: what the won of this world looked like when they got old.

It seed that when the won of this world aged, their appearance had no relation to how they looked when they were young.

Granny Nyon, who was once a mber of the Rocks Pirates, looked like a carbon copy of the Pirate Empress in her youth, but after she got old...

And then there was Charlotte Linlin, who even held the title of the most beautiful female pirate in her youth.

There were countless other examples.

Then, Cyrus's gaze toward Robin gradually grew strange.

And this gaze made Robin's skin crawl.

'What did that look an?'

'Disdain?'

'What a fickle man.'

Robin was rather speechless.

She turned and returned to the adjacent cabin.

"I can't let my thoughts run wild. Her shelf life is at least another twenty years. I might even be dead by then," Cyrus muttered to himself, shaking his head before continuing his training.

In the next cabin, Robin lay on her bed, the words Cyrus had said after pulling her into his arms replaying in her mind.

"It can't possibly get any worse, can it?"

She reached out, pulled the blanket beside her, and covered her shapely body.

...

Headquarters.

Sengoku sized up Garp, who was picking his nose, his eyes scanning him from top to bottom.

"That Cyrus fellow cut down Doflamingo's subordinate in the East Blue and sent the head to Loguetown. I approved the bounty."
