It seems there isn't a specific one right now, but most Pirate Hunters on the seas are lone wolves, and some are even pirates themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin was actually giving it serious thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Pirate Hunters were not a unified group. Most were mavericks, all sorts of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it wouldn't be up to Cyrus to propose creating an association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not just Pirate Hunters. Treasure hunters, ruin hunters, even Marine Hunters, all of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus stroked his chin, his mind flashing back to another manga he had read before he was transported here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most of the plot was hazy, he remembered the behemoth that was the Hunter Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin was stunned for a moment, then gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Cyrus hadn't said much, Robin's quick mind instantly connected many dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly succeeded, this association would become another massive power alongside the World Government, the Navy, and the Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difficulty of achieving that was imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Robin's gasp, Cyrus turned to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's as you say, the difficulty is far too great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed!\" Cyrus could naturally imagine this as well, but he had time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, methods to extend one's lifespan or even achieve immortality were not non-existent in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One step at a time. Maybe it can really succeed in the future. But if that's the case, I'll need to find some people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus stroked his chin, sizing up Robin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really going to do this? Isn't that too impulsive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Cyrus's expression, Robin felt a bit helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man, a few years younger than her, was far too action-oriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he have to do everything he thought of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren't you the one who brought it up? Now that I want to do it, you're not happy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus pinched Robin's nose and said in displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin tilted her head, escaping Cyrus's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that to accomplish something like this, to build a massive organization, you need a huge amount of money and manpower. Right now, it's just the two of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why we have to take it one step at a time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus wrapped an arm around Robin, stood up, and led her into the ship's cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not to do anything untoward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, come! Let's brainstorm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus stuffed a pen into Robin's hand and pushed her down into the seat by the cabin table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're so smart. Try to formulate a plan to achieve the goal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Cyrus's hands on her shoulders, Robin turned her head to look at his expectant face and nodded helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I can try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she also noticed Cyrus's mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have found his motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time that followed, besides his daily training and helping Robin train, Cyrus and Robin would brainstorm, formulating the so-called Hunter Association plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But creating such a plan was obviously not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Eight Treasure Navy's ship steadily entered Reverse Mountain, sailing against the current, Cyrus and Robin were staring at each other in the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vetoed! This one is too complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus pressed his hand on the papers on the table in front of Robin and said with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman, you just don't want to memorize so many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gotten to know Cyrus well during this time, Robin looked at him helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so powerful, yet he could be so childish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, according to you, the preliminary preparations are nothing more than money, people, and a huge reputation on the seas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus kept his hand on the papers, his eyes locked on Robin's, not giving an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making him memorize so many things was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was, after all, Cyrus \"I Hate Studying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the nickname, he had just made it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, our first step is to gain a huge reputation on the seas. Leave that to me. Before the first step is complete, the plan is temporarily on hold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cyrus spoke, he was about to lift the papers under his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin slammed her hand on the papers, a charming smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't do, my dear Chairman of the Association. Actually, the association can be established beforehand. As the chairman, you need to remember the association's rules. A successful organization must have some reasonable rules and regulations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you memorize them. As my personal secretary, it's the same if you memorize them,\" Cyrus immediately replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin was stunned, then even more speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did she gain the title of secretary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Cyrus's unyielding stance, she could only nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Mr. Chairman. But right now, our association only has the two of us. So, what kind of hunter are you, Chairman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Pirate Hunter?\" Cyrus asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you're the Chairman!\" Robin shook her head directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do you suggest?\" Cyrus frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about 'Emperor Hunter'? As the Chairman, your targets can be the Emperors of the pirates!\" Robin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Robin's wrist and pushed her down onto the nearby bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's eyes met Robin's, their faces very close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woman, are you trying to get your Chairman killed so you can get a new boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 40 chapters ahead and support me on patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon (.)com\u002FNewbietranslator\u003C\u002Fp>",1243,"2026-06-05T17:57:20.375Z",1,"novelbin.me","45b720ec516aa837150d76847941edbb1fc3ab6bfd8587b225c225a4898e9e9c","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-235","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-77",263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-bounty-hunter-king-cover.jpg"]
