Hearing that, Robin took a deep breath and said.
"Even so, Captain! They destroyed the Ohara, and one of those people was Aokiji. I can't stop hating him."
Tyler nodded.
"Of course, you should hate him. You should hate the entire Navy and the World Government, but I also want you to understand one thing."
"There is another force that can read Poneglyph. In fact, they were the ones who made Poneglyph, and I don't believe World Government knows nothing about them."
Hearing that, Robin's eyes widened while Frank asked.
"But Captain, didn't you say she is the only one who read the Poneglyph?"
"They are also dead now."
Tyler spoke and continued.
"It's the Kozuki Family from Wano. In fact, there is a certain person from Wano that I don't understand and don't like. It's Oden who sailed with Roger and Whitebeard."
"What? Was he the crew member of both of them?" Frank asked in shock.
"Is he the one who helped Roger read Poneglyph?" Robin asked.
Tyler nodded.
"Yeah! But while he was sailing, his country was taken over by an enemy of the Kozuki Family, and that person even joined hands with Kaido."
"No wonder Kaido is in Wano Country!" Robin muttered.
Tyler continued.
"After he returned home, he didn't contact Roger Pirates or Whitebeard Pirates to help him. Instead, he spent five years dancing naked."
"It's not a good thing, and I wondered why for a very long time. Then I realized something."
"It's not that he didn't, but it's simply because he couldn't. I think World Government worked with the Korozumi Family to kill Oden."
"After all, they wanted the man who could read poneglyph dead, and they wanted to make sure he couldn't share his knowledge."
"So, while they continued to weaken Wano's forces, they also bought time for Kaido to get stronger."
"You have to understand. Oden stayed with Whitebeard and Roger. Although not exactly at their level, he was very close."
"Especially after staying with them, he learned Advanced forms of Haki, which put him on the same level as them."
"Of course, I could be mistaken, and the Oden could've simply been an idiot. But World Government wiped out Ohara because of their strength."
"Ohara doesn't have the strength and location advantage like Wano. So, when they started studying the past and figured out Ancient Language, they were killed."
Tyler walked towards Robin and patted her on the shoulder.
"So, it's not the mistake of Ohara to study Ancient history. It was their mistake of being weak."
"In this world, being weak is a sin."
Saying that, he walked out of the room.
Frank and Adam quickly followed him while Robin sat on the chair, looking relieved, confused, and angry.
She was relieved knowing that studying Ancient Language and history wasn't a mistake.
She was confused as to why this world always hurt those who were weak.
She was angry that her people were destroyed simply because they didn't have the strength.
She silently sobbed, remembering the memories of the professor and her mother.
———————————
"Is it okay to tell her these things on the first day of her joining the crew?" Frank asked as they walked out.
"She needs a motivation to get stronger, Frank. It's not that she can't find the motivation by herself, but I want to create that motivation for her."
He couldn't help but sigh.
"We might not become a big crew, not now, not in the future. I want every one of you to be strong enough to stay alive by yourself."
"Seeing any of you get hurt scares me."
Frank patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Captain, this world is not a fairytale. You are always ready to sacrifice yourself, so you must expect the same from us."
"Never felt guilty if something happens to us. This is a life we chose."
"Hey, you guys, can you not talk so negatively? Are you asking to die tomorrow? We just survived and ended one of our enemies."
"We should celebrate."
Adam roared.
He couldn't stand their negativity, especially since he was already full of it.
Frank and Tyler looked at each other before sharpening their fists. Then, they jumped and slammed him on the head.
"Can't you see us being so emotional?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Damn you two!"
Adam roared and punched Tyler in the face.
Tyler was angered by his punch. So, he punched Adam, but Adam ducked, and that punch landed on Frank's face.
It didn't take them long before they started scuffling with each other, punching and kicking until their heads were covered in bruises.
"Tyler, was that guy really strong?"
Frank asked while pointing his finger at his chest. The place where Diamante had stabbed and left a hole.
Although half of it was filled, the remaining half was still there.
"Hmm! If you don't have something to counter Haki, then he is truly strong."
Tyler answered.
"But you do. Your sense of smell is not weaker than Observation Haki, and you also have those sharp attacks using your Wind Style Swordsmanship."
"So, how did you get this kind of hole?"
Frank couldn't help but show a look of worry.
Tyler couldn't help but blush. After all, he just advised Miya not to be stubborn, and here he was getting wound up like this because of his stubbornness.
Seeing his expression, Frank showed a look of helplessness and said.
"You weren't trying, were you?"
Tyler looked away and whispered.
"I wanted to feel death."
"Damn you, bastard Captain! Is Death something you want to feel?"
Frank couldn't help but punch him on the head.
Tyler let him punch, and only after two punches, Frank calmed down, asking.
"Why is that? You aren't as reckless as Miya. There must be a reason, right?"
Even Adam looked curious.
Tyler nodded.
"Haki is a power that blooms in battle, but it doesn't get awakened without life and death situations."
"Awakening and mastering are two different things. You can train for months to awaken it, or you can go through one life and death situation to awaken it."
"I chose latter. We will soon be going up against a Vice Admiral. He is not going to be as weak as Diamante."
"Not to mention, his physical skills, just his Haki would be several times stronger than Diamante."
"I can't waste my time trying to learn both kinds of Haki while being chased by a Vice Admiral. But now, I don't need to."
"I only need to focus on awakening my Armament Haki. I don't even need to train my Observation Haki."
"With my sense of smell and newly awakened Observation Haki, my prediction skill wouldn't be lower than a Vice Admiral."
Hearing that, Frank sighed. He understood Tyler's feeling so he couldn't even get angry.
In the entire crew, Tyler was the only one who could fight the Vice Admiral. They couldn't run away either.
Their goal was to enter the Grandline, and to enter the Grandline, they would have to pass through Reverse Mountain.
But if they didn't fight and defeat the Vice Admiral and just ran away all the time, he could simply form a blockade around the Reverse Mountain.
And, even if they wanted to, they couldn't run away.
With Robin joining them, there would be two reasons for Marine to send an Admiral. Only by defeating a Vice Admiral would they have a chance to fight an Admiral.
Tyler knew this. Frank knew this. Even Adam understood this. That's why they knew Tyler was simply trying to get stronger as quickly as possible.
Frank stood up and said.
"I will make some food. While a banquet is not possible, we should eat something to recover and find a doctor for Miya."
Tyler nodded and turned towards Adam.
"Let's go and check Donquixote's ship! Let's see if we can find anything there."
Adam and Tyler quickly left their ship and went to Donquixote's ship. They searched everything, from top to bottom, and found quite a lot of money.
They also found some information about the recent trades they had in the West Blue.
Originally, Tyler wasn't expecting anything important from this ship except for money, but when he was looking through this list, he found something interesting.
It was the profession of a certain individual.
Doctor!
His name was Gojo. He was a doctor from the small island of West Blue. One day, this island was invaded by pirates.
To save this island, he made a pact with the pirates and joined them. In return, they would leave this island alone and even protect him.
Normally, pirates wouldn't care. But he was an expert doctor. He could kill them with poison, and even if they forced him, it wouldn't be a good idea.
Forcing a cook or a doctor on a pirate ship was almost a death sentence unless that person was truly a coward.
So, those pirates followed this pact. Unfortunately, in one of their clash with the Marines, they were half destroyed.
The remaining half, including the doctor, managed to survive but soon encountered a Slave Hunting Ship, sponsored by Donquixote Pirates.
