"The immortal clown, Captain Buggy…"
Zoro sheathed his sword and stepped closer, staring at Buggy's nearly motionless body.
He couldn't help but shake his head. "So he's just a weak guy pretending to be strong. That so-called immortality is nothing but relying on his own powers. There's really nothing special about him."
Now that Zoro saw Buggy for what he really was, he felt no interest left.
Buggy wasn't even a worthy opponent; fighting him would be pointless.
Zoro had every reason to judge Buggy like this because Buggy couldn't even defeat the current Zoro…
But Zoro wasn't planning to leave the stage just yet.
"Who are you calling a red nose?!"
Bang!!
Suddenly, Buggy's head shot up from the rubble, angrily shouting.
Well, aside from his crooked nose and dusty face, he wasn't hurt in any other way.
Clearly, while he didn't train his other skills on Roger's ship, he had become quite durable.
"You bastards, what do you—AH!!!"
Just as Buggy emerged from the rubble, ready to unleash his fury, he didn't realize that villains often fall due to talking too much.
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
That sound made Zoro, Luffy, and Link shiver in instinctive fear.
"Shut up already!!"
The three of them turned to see Nami sticking out her tongue and making a cute face.
Somehow, she had gotten close to Buggy's body, and one of her feet was mercilessly stomping down on Buggy's vulnerable spot.
Especially when she noticed everyone was looking, she playfully stuck her tongue out and pressed down hard again…
Crack~
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
It sounded like an egg breaking, and in the sky, Buggy's tears and snot were now pouring out, as he wailed in agony.
"She must be a devil…"
Zoro and Link felt a chill run down their spines, getting goosebumps.
Nami really knew where a man's weak spot was.
Speaking of which, the first time she appeared in the original series, she stole treasure from Alvida's ship by catching the pirates off guard with this same trick.
And during the Water Seven arc, Kalifa did the same thing to Sanji.
So… do all the women in this world know how to deal with men?!!
Link twitched at the corner of his eye. No, maybe it wasn't just women.
He glanced stiffly at Luffy, who was clapping and laughing nearby.
Well, technically, their silly captain had also kicked Buggy in the same spot.
And…
"The body of a rubber man doesn't fear attacks like that and can even come in handy at crucial moments…"
Link looked at Luffy with a hint of envy.
Unlike him, Luffy could laugh in the face of situations like this without a care.
But one thing was for sure, that attack was incredibly damaging.
Even after all his experiences, Buggy couldn't get back up after taking such a hit.
In a grand fashion, drooling, with tears and snot flowing, he fainted right there.
With that, things became much simpler.
Seeing what happened, the remaining low-ranking crew members realized it was bad and immediately ran away.
Luffy and the others didn't even bother to chase them, instead, they tied up the defeated Cabaji, Mohji, and Richie.
As for Captain Buggy, due to his earlier launch of the Buggy Ball,
Link and Luffy found a cannon and, after disassembling Buggy's body, stuffed him into the cannon's mouth.
They lit the fuse, and with a "Boom!" Buggy was launched like a shower of stars, scattering his body in all directions across the sky.
He was likely to land in various spots throughout the ocean.
As for whether Captain Buggy could come back to life, that was up to his own luck.
Thus, the Buggy Pirates declared their downfall after invading this small Orange Island.
And after taking down a pirate crew, the next exciting thing was about to happen:
Looting the spoils.
"Treasures! Treasures!! Mine, all mine!!"
Nami's eyes sparkled with excitement. With her years of experience, she searched the entire base and found all of Buggy Pirates' assets!
"So much!!"
Nami looked at the packed bags of glittering gold and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with happiness.
But before she could enjoy her happiness for too long, a merciless hand, almost like that of a demon, landed on those gray bags.
"What an incredible haul…"
Link chuckled as he patted one of the gray bags. "Looks like there's around ten million berries here, right?"
"?!!"
Seeing Link like this, Nami instantly snapped back to reality.
"What are you doing?!"
She glared at Link with fierce eyes, as if defending her precious treasure.
She hadn't forgotten how Link had taken the treasure she had worked so hard to gather on Alvida's ship!
That scene was burned into her memory for life!
