" You know when I heard the island's name was Deadwood, I wasn't really expecting this," I said to the crew after we arrived at the island. The island we are at right now seems to like it came from those old mid-western movies.
Though its size completely outclassed any of those, as it was absolutely huge. The island is so huge even some of the islands we've prior seen don't compare to this one.
The island was barren with barely any trees in sight. The streets were made of dirt lined with old western-style houses, essentially the whole town looked like a cowboy's paradise.

" I like it. This place looks really nice." Marco said after me as we three walked around the town. People dressed like cowboys were over the island, with all of them carrying some kind of gun. And no one even looked remotely afraid as if this was normal.
You could tell there were also tons of people arriving on the island for the competition as well. They were dressed differently so it made them stick out compared to the rest.
Due to the number of people on the island, it felt quite crowded. Luckily for us, we came as the sun was going down. This reduced the number of people that were out by quite a bit, it would be hell trying to walk through here in the morning though.
" We should find a hotel, the tournament doesn't start until next week. I still think we came too early for this." Bullet said to me while we looked around for a nice hotel to stay in. Eventually, a local carrying 4 flintlocks, wearing a cowboy hat guided us towards a very modern-looking hotel. A brand new hotel that was built a couple of weeks ago to house the people that were coming to view the competition.
"It's fine, it's not like we were gonna do anything else either," I said as I entered the building and walked toward the female receptionist.
" Two of your best rooms, please. One room with two beds and a single bedroom as well." Bullet asked while Marco and I just waited.
" Wait, why don't I get my own room?" Marco asked looking confused after Bullet got the keys to our room.
" Your too young that's why. Now stop asking questions. I'm sleepy." I answered taking one of the keys from Bullet.
' The real reason Marco is staying in my room is just in case anyone else tries to capture him. After the whole fiasco with the Hutts, I don't wanna take any chances, even with my map since I would be sleeping.'
' And I can barely use observation haki. So I can't sense Marco while sleeping. So I'm not taking any chances with Marco again. Since this way, I can protect him if anyone else tries to attack him.'
" Whatever" Marco replied before we walked to our room. And fell asleep the moment he hit the bed.
I was about to go to sleep as well before a message appeared in my head.
The message read " So it's me again, your favorite ROB out of all ROBs, even though you've only met one. So anyway what I wanted to say was that after I had gone through all of the trouble of adding the gift giver to your system, you've still not used it once."
"Now I'm sure you can see why this has made me kind of sad, I went through all that hard work and trouble to grant my favorite and only reincarnator a special gift, and he goes and ignores it. So if you don't use that feature in the next week, then I will remove it permanently. Anyways, have a great rest of your week my friend!"
' Oh fuck, I completely forgot about this function of the map. I never had the time to fully explore an island since we had just been so busy.'
' And I kept telling myself, I'll do it one day. And now it comes to bite my ass. Of course, ROB would do this. The man loves to mess with me.'
' I guess I'll just explore the island tomorrow. It's too late to do it now.' I thought to myself as I slowly fell asleep.

" So why are going to another city?" Bullet asked me since we three were now walking to another city on this island.
" No reason, just to explore. Figured since we were so bored." I answered lying a little to Bullet and Marco. About 4 hours later, we arrived at the next city by a carriage.
' And it looks the same as the previous city.' I thought to myself looking at the small city in front of us.
I did the same thing next day exploring the other cities on this island since I needed to explore 4 cities on the island. There weren't any devil fruits on the island, thank god for that. Especially since I don't feel like walking anymore.
I also walked to the other side of the island by myself since Bullet and Marco didn't want to do this anymore with me. Which I can't exactly blame them for.
And now I stayed on this island for 3 days exactly. The last thing I had to do was circle the perimeter of the island. Which I just did.

The message appeared in my head after I stopped walking.
' Nice, I thought to myself before another messaged popped out.
' The location of the reward will be shown on the map, what the reward is though, will not be shown on the map courtesy of your benefactor.'
" Fucking hell! Can you just let me enjoy one thing you piece of shit!" I cursed ROB out, even knowing that it would make no difference. But it did make me feel a little better, which was good.
I quickly looked at the map where a X mark was being shown. Next to the mark, it said "based on" and the name of the island.
' Finally, I'm done with this bullshit.'
