> おれの財宝か？欲しけりゃくれてやるぜ。。。(One Piece)

Especially the part "欲しけりゃ" (from what I gather, it's an inflection of 欲しい?)
Is this a common construct? How can I break it down?

How can I better search for this kind of thing?

  * someone on hinative translated the second sentence as "if you want I'll give it to you";

  * Google translator seems to ignore 欲しけりゃ completely if I don't put a comma in the middle.

In case the links that have been provided to you in the comments below your
question do not satisfy your curiosity:

.....

欲しけりゃ means the same thing as 欲しければ

～けりゃ is an informal variation on ～ければ. Examples can be found
[here](https://ejje.weblio.jp/sentence/content/%E3%81%91%E3%82%8A%E3%82%83).

The phrase in question would be standardized as:

> 「欲しければあげるよ。。。」’I’ll give it to you if you want it.’

The translation for くれてやる reads thus:

> 自分より目下の者や、いまいましく思っている者に物を与える - Said when giving something to someone who is
> either below you in status or who you do not think kindly of.

In this case, it can be read as ‘I will grant you my treasure.’
