Chapter 65: RBTC: Chapter 65

"Captain, there's an island ahead. It seems to be inhabited."
A dark figure descended from the sky. It was Lafitte, who had gone to scout ahead. Using his flying ability, he had already observed the situation. He came back to report because he had discovered that there were humans living on the island ahead.
"In which direction? Let's go to that island and rest for a while."
Since they had found an inhabited island, they definitely needed to rest for a while.
The supplies on their ship had been depleted after a few days of use. They needed to replenish some on the island.
After saying this, Lafitte led the Glory towards the island.
It didn't take long for them to reach the island.
From afar, they saw a beautiful and colorful landscape. What met everyone's eyes was a field of flowers and colorful blossoms. The flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if a field of flowers was dancing gracefully.
Independent Western-style villas dotted the flowers, trees, and plants. The entire island's scenery made people feel its beauty.
Buggy didn't expect to encounter such a beautiful island in this desolate sea.
As they got closer, they found that the island's facilities were very complete. Around this small island, there were dozens of fully-equipped small harbors.
On the contrary, although there were many harbors, no ships were docked at the shore. Even small fishing boats were absent.
Although there were dozens of harbors, they felt desolate. These harbors weren't fulfilling their intended purpose.
Buggy and his crew didn't know what had caused this situation. They didn't guess further and drove the Glory to a secluded harbor.
Just as Buggy and his crew docked their ship, a middle-aged man on the highest tower of the island noticed the Glory.
"Hey, Pete, is that a pirate ship?"
The middle-aged man woke up his companion, who had been dozing off beside him. He pointed at the Glory with excitement and joy.
"Regan, how is that possible? We haven't had a pirate ship here in a long time. Are you seeing things?"
Pete thought Regan's words were probably false. They hadn't had pirates here in a long time. Regan might be seeing things.
Regan heard Pete's words and also suspected that he was seeing things. He quickly rubbed his eyes with both hands. After a while, he looked in that direction again. Then, his smile widened. He looked at Pete again and said, "It's true. I wasn't mistaken. There's definitely a pirate ship here."
Hearing Regan say this again, Pete's spirit immediately recovered. He immediately looked in the direction Regan pointed to. When he saw the Glory, a smile wider than Regan's appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, it's really a pirate ship! Now we'll have a big payday."
"Yes, yes, let's quickly tell the mayor. Let him make preparations. We can't let these guys escape."
After saying this, Regan left the tower and ran towards the houses in the center of the island.
Pete, standing on the tower, didn't say anything. He looked at the Glory and kept smiling. The smile on his face became more and more eerie.
"What? A pirate really came here? That's great news!"
In the center of the island, in a house that was clearly more luxurious than the surrounding houses, an old man was listening to Regan's report.
"Mayor, it's true. Pete and I both saw it. Pete is watching from there."
Hearing Regan's confirmed answer, the mayor's face showed a wicked smile.
"Good. Go and inform everyone. We'll all go to welcome our guests."
Regan took the mayor's order and ran towards the various houses in the village.
The villagers, hearing this news, also showed a strange smile. Everyone put down their pets and followed Regan towards the mayor's location.
Buggy and his crew docked the Glory and quickly walked towards the path leading to the houses.
On both sides of this path were fields of flowers. Walking on this path, all sorts of fragrances filled everyone's nostrils. Everyone was surrounded by flowers, as if they were in a dream, surreal.
Walking through this sea of flowers, Buggy felt very shocked. He didn't expect to find such an island in this desolate sea.
At the same time, he was also confused. They had passed through here, and the farmlands they saw were all fields of flowers. There weren't any crops or farm produce planted.
In this desolate sea, Buggy didn't understand what these people ate. Were they eating these flowers? This made him very confused. And this scene shouldn't have appeared here. It was completely unrealistic. With confusion, Buggy followed the others towards the center of the island.
They had just passed a crossroads when they saw a crowd of villagers gathered in the distance. They were smiling, looking at Buggy and his crew, who were walking towards them.
When they were not far away, an old man stepped forward. He smiled and said to Buggy and his crew, "Welcome to our island. I welcome you on behalf of everyone here."
Seeing the villagers on this island being so welcoming, Buggy and his crew were a little taken aback.
They had been afraid that the other party would see them coming to the island and would be wary of them or even drive them away.
They didn't expect the other party to welcome them proactively, and with such solemnity. This really surprised everyone, including Buggy.
"I don't know how to address you."
Since the other party welcomed them so warmly, Buggy and his crew had to respond.
"Old man, I'm the mayor of the village on this island."
The old man quickly clarified his identity.
"Old mayor, do you know who we are? We're pirates. Aren't you afraid that we'll harm you?"
Buggy directly revealed his identity and expressed his confusion. He didn't understand why the old mayor and these people were so enthusiastic. There was nothing to hide.
"Guests, our villagers have seen the pirate flag on your ship. They know you're pirates.
But we feel that you're not bad people. And not all pirates are bad. We've been helped by many people like you before. They weren't bad. We welcomed them warmly, and they didn't cause us any trouble. We have our current life because of them."
After saying these words, the old man seemed to be lost in past memories.
Seeing the old man's expression, Buggy couldn't help but feel happy for them. Most pirates in the world of One Piece were very cruel. He didn't expect the people on this island to have encountered pirates who didn't harm them.
This really made Buggy feel unbelievable. He couldn't help but feel lucky for them.
