031, Too much joy turns to sadness

Released on April 24, 2025

Bud thought Robin was unreasonable. I told you to get out, what does it mean by you rolling away?

Robin also felt that the kid was difficult to deal with. I did everything you told me to do, so why were you looking at me like an idiot?

“Are you a normal person, Nico Robin?” Bud pointed to his head and said, “I suggest you see a brain doctor. If you don’t want to leave, then don’t leave.”

Nico Robin’s delicate body trembled: “You, are you really willing to let me go?”

Bard said expressionlessly: “If you want to go to Push City, I can take you there.”

“…”

Nico Robin pulled her arm, it hurt!

In other words, I was not dreaming. I just felt that my life was over.

She could have left quickly, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Is it because I saved those children?”

Bud looked up at the deep night sky and said, “Maybe. There are always many times in life when people make mistakes. Maybe I am one of them now. Before I regret it, the farther away the better.”

Nico Robin smiled and looked at Bud for a moment with a complicated expression: “You remind me of a man. In the past, he also…”

“Shut up and don’t compare me to that guy.”

Bud looked displeased, knowing who the woman was talking about: “Kuchika is a whore who wants to pretend to be a virgin.”

Robin was stunned. Kuchako? Are we talking about the same person?

“Anyway, thank you.”

Robin wiped the sweat stains from his temples. “If you want to go to the capital, there’s no need. Crocodile and I broke up. He’s chasing me all over the world. He’s probably on his way here.”

“No wonder.”

Bard was wondering why he didn’t see Crocodile. It turned out that the two of them had a quarrel.

“We will never meet again.”

Robin took a deep look at Bard, then turned and walked towards the dock.

He found a random boat and left this troubled place, waving goodbye before leaving: “Goodbye, kid brother.”

Bud’s face was full of black lines, wondering whether he should rush up and give him two big slaps, calling him “little brother” and “big brother”.

Of course, compared to Robin, he is indeed a younger brother.

“Lieutenant General Bud, that seemed to be…”

Tashigi looked in the direction where Robin disappeared, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

“Remember, you haven’t seen anything.” Bud’s eyes were full of warning.

The girl’s pretty face was slightly stiff, and she lowered her head in silence.

“I’m lucky this time.”

On the vast ocean, Robin, in a very good mood, drank a large can of beer.

She saw that Bard had given up struggling. The pirates’ natural enemies were no joke, but he managed to escape death in the end, so of course he should celebrate.

As the saying goes, excessive joy leads to sorrow. Robin’s happiness did not last long before more than a dozen warships appeared on the sea in the distance, led by Smoker.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was forced to return the same way she came.

On the other side, Bard and others were also cleaning up the battlefield and captured quite a few people alive.

The worthless pirates were executed on the spot.

The valuable goods will be kept for auction.

Tashigi said nothing throughout the whole process. As a navy with a strong sense of justice, she actually couldn’t stand this kind of behavior.

Faced with the powerful Bard, she could only choose to remain silent.

“You seem very unhappy.”

They found a place to rest. Bard sat on the ruins, looking into the distance, quietly waiting for Crocodile to come and kill him.

Dashigi shrank her neck; “Human trafficking… is illegal.”

“I know.”

Bud’s voice was calm: “But I just like it.”

Dashigi broke out in a sweat, wondering if all big guys could do whatever they wanted.

“Lord Bard didn’t keep all the money from the pirate auction for himself. He distributed it to the poor. My hometown, Cocosia Village, was one of the beneficiaries.”

Nami, on the other hand, highly praised Bard’s policy: “On the one hand, we can punish those vicious pirates, and on the other hand, we can earn money to support the poor. I think it’s the best of both worlds.”

Dashigi sighed, “Sorry, I still can’t agree with that.”

“You don’t need to understand, just keep silent.”

Bard was too lazy to brainwash Tashigi.

Everyone’s life trajectory is different, and without experiencing a life like his, Dashigi will never understand.

The most vivid example is his mentor, Zephyr, who went from being a “general who doesn’t kill” to an extremist who wants to destroy pirates all over the world.

“Damn it! I’m back after running for so long!”

Robin’s boat was forced back to the shore, and she was panicked when she saw the navy everywhere.

Bud gave her a break, but others didn’t.

“what to do?!”

She scanned this and that, looking for a hiding place.

“That’s good!!”

Robin fixed his sight on a warship and quickly rowed over there.

That was Bud’s ship, and he was the highest commander of this mission, so no one would search his ship.

“Nico Robin, you are not dead!!!”

Suddenly, a roar filled with tremendous anger resounded throughout the entire dock.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of wind and sand swept in, and the sandstorm swallowed everything in an instant.

Bud slowly stood up, knowing from the sound that the main course was about to begin.
