Olvia only briefly described the situation at the time, which was certainly more dangerous and complicated than she described. With so many people involved, why was she chosen?
After the fire, she was rescued by Saul, and the books in the lake were all transported by Saul to the Elbaf. She then secretly continued to study the Poneglyph.
On the island of Dabo Haisita, there is also a historian from Ohara who had been living away. After saying goodbye to Saul, she came here to meet up with a few others. She didn't mention any of this. Saul is now officially a dead man, and she doesn't want people she doesn't trust to know that Saul is still alive.
"So that's how it is! I didn't expect you to survive in this way. Is this what they mean by 'when one door closes, another opens'?"
Vic naturally knew about the small lake next to the Tree of Knowledge, but he never imagined that it was the key to Olvia's survival. Thinking back to his previous life, Robin was all alone, struggling to survive either through betrayal or on the path of betrayal!
Bearing immense infamy, coveted by a huge bounty, with all her family and friends dead, she herself was contemplating suicide. It wasn't until she met the Straw Hat Pirates that she had a chance to live; otherwise, she would have been buried along with the underground palace the moment she deciphered the location of Pluton.
Robin was suffering so much and in despair. Perhaps God saw her suffering and allowed her mother to live. Now, Vic has inadvertently saved Olvia, so the mother and daughter may have a chance to meet again in the future!
"Nicole Olvia! We're no longer the Marines. I killed a Celestial Dragons, and I'll most likely be wanted by the World Government and labeled a pirate. Do you want to join us and become one of us?"
We have the capability to protect you. Without sufficient strength, you'll inevitably be targeted by the World Government sooner or later. If we hadn't intervened this time, this island would have suffered the same fate as Ohara. And what island would be next? I'll give you ten minutes to think it over!
Vic knew the consequences of killing Celestial Dragons and leaving the Navy. Except for joining the Revolutionary Army, he would be labeled a pirate. Even if he joined the Underworld, he would still be a pirate.
So, Vic will be living in this world as a pirate from now on. There won't be enough people with just the few of them, so he will invite some more people to join his pirate crew.
Olvia is quite good; she's a historian, just like Robin, but she lacks combat skills. However, that's not a big problem; Vic will find a way to improve her abilities.
Another point is that Vic wants to learn Ancient Script. Both Robin and Olvia are proficient in them, and there's one right in front of him, so why go through the trouble of finding something far away?
Of course, there are also regrets left over from her past life. Robin's experiences were too tragic. Now that she has come to this world, she should try to make up for some of her regrets if possible.
Just like with Kuina before, Vic was worried about a woman without the ability to protect herself being hunted by the World Government. He was also thinking about when the mother and daughter could be reunited. So, after considering everything, Vic directly invited Olvia.
Everyone present was surprised by Vic's invitation, especially Olvia, who was the person involved. Her feelings were the most complicated. Ever since giving birth to Robin, she had been searching for information about the Poneglyph on the high seas, as if it were her mission!
Later, the World Government discovered their existence and began a manhunt. One by one, her companions were killed by the Navy, and eventually, even she was captured. Fortunately, she encountered Saul of the D. Clan.
However, by then the World Government had already made up its mind to erase Ohara, and launched a devastating Buster Call. Her family, friends, and mentors all perished in that event, leaving only her and her daughter to survive.
She felt that God had allowed her to live so that she could fulfill some kind of mission, which strengthened her resolve. So she devoted herself to studying the history of the Void Century.
She never expected that she would soon attract the attention of the World Government again. Despite hiding, she was still found, almost endangering an entire island of innocent civilians. She knew before that this path was fraught with difficulties.
But today she discovered that this road is not only full of thorns, but also littered with bones, and a river of blood flows underground. She is all alone, with no one to accompany her.
But now someone has invited her aboard, and she doesn't know if the ship can bear her mission. Although the group is all very strong, their enemy is the behemoth that is the World Government! Who has the ability to protect her?
She had already given up resistance and was prepared to die a heroic death, leaving the mission to Robin. Now, not only has she been rescued, but the person who rescued her has also said they want to protect her. Anyone would feel incredibly conflicted!
"Okay! I'll think about it!" Olvia walked to the aft deck of the warship with mixed feelings, accompanied by the other rescued scholars.
" Vic! Are we really going to become pirates?"
Rebecca's feelings were also complicated. They used to be the ones fighting pirates, but now they were the ones being attacked. This kind of change was not something she could accept in a short time.
Even if you don't want to be a Marine, you can still be a bounty hunter, as long as they don't directly deal with the Marines regarding bounties. However, whether or not someone becomes a pirate isn't up to them anymore; it's defined by the World Government and the Marines. No matter what you do, your identity can only be that of a pirate.
"There's nothing wrong with being a pirate. It's free and unrestrained. We'll only become more free. Pirates are just their definition; it won't affect us!"
We should just do what we're supposed to do and follow our hearts. Aren't there interesting pirate crews like Shanks ' in One Piece?
Don't get hung up on the issue of identity. From now on, the world is your oyster! Of course, you'll definitely face a series of counterattacks from the World Government, so everyone should focus on improving their own strength!
Vic knew this sudden change would be difficult to adjust to, but once the knot in their hearts was untied, there was nothing they couldn't let go of. They weren't power-hungry people, and even if they lost their positions in the Navy, it wouldn't be a big deal. From now on, all they needed to do was become stronger and travel the world.
The three of them, Barnett, remained silent. They had already prepared themselves mentally, as they were more mature. Only Frodeku found it somewhat strange.
He was originally a pirate, but Vic forcibly whitewashed him, and now he's a pirate again. Of course, he knows that his current pirate identity is different from his former pirate identity, but he can't say exactly how.
"We need to find a place to settle Ain as soon as possible. We'll be facing a constant stream of enemies, and we don't have enough manpower. Ain will be in great danger on the ship!"
