Um?
Only then did Zoro notice that Buggy was not dead. If Logan hadn't made a timely move just now, then his back would really have been cut open by Buggy!
As Logan said, the wound on the back is the shame of a swordsman! So Buggy's sneak attack made Zoro very angry.
"You bastard!!" Zoro turned around, swung the sword in his hand, and chopped Buggy into pieces...
But in the next moment, all the fragments of Buggy floated up, reorganizing a nearly complete body in the air.
"Why can't it be killed?" Zoro frowned slightly, puzzled.
"He has the capabilities of the Split-Split Fruit, and slashing is ineffective against him," Logan reminded.
As soon as the words came out, Buggy became angry. "You actually know my power; you really planned to deal with me a long time ago!"
"What are you talking about? We don't even know you," Luffy picked his nostrils and walked over. "But..., since slashing doesn't work for you, then try my fist~"
As he spoke, Luffy flicked his legs and jumped into the sky.
"Gomu Gomu no Giganto Pistol!!——"
In the air, Luffy blew on his finger, and his arm suddenly turned into a fist as big as a small hill.
"Nani!!"
Just looking at the size of the fist, Buggy's eyes almost popped out. He didn't even have time to dodge; Luffy's huge fist directly covered Buggy and then fell fiercely to the ground.
"What--"
Amidst Buggy's screams, the bone balloon came into close contact with the ground~
Boom! !
It seemed like the whole island was shaking~
Shh~
The bone balloon deflated, revealing a large crater in the ground.
Pit~
Buggy lay flat on all fours
"How should we deal with him?"
Luffy molded his chin, as if in deep thought.
"We can't let him go; he is a famous big pirate. I asked just now, he terrorize many people in this small town!" Nami, always astute, immediately made a suggestion.
"By the way, he was going to hit me with a Buggy cannon just now!" Nami added, her anger rising at the thought of the danger she had faced.
Thinking about the near-death experience, Nami became furious. If Logan hadn't appeared in time, she might be a corpse now.
"Hey, hey, you are the one who stole our captain map first!" Richi, the deputy captain, stood up to defend Buggy, trying to shift blame.
"It makes sense. Nami stole your things, and you wanted to catch her; that's fine," Logan nodded.
"Huh?" Nami looked at Logan, feeling a bit aggrieved. "But they are bad people in the first place. Stealing from bad people is a good thing!"
Without entertaining Nami's sophistry, Logan turned to Richi. "But she is our friend, and it's okay for us to save our friend."
"Then, is everyone clear?" Richi glanced at Buggy, asking Logan cautiously.
Logan stated, "Our affairs are settled, but you need to address the matter of the Buggy Pirates harming Orange Town!"
"Hey! Kid! If you have something to say, say it!" At this time, Buggy seemed to have recovered a little and struggled on the ground.
"Now you know how to talk properly? Didn't you just want to bombard Nami with a cannon?" Logan retorted, his gaze fixed on Buggy.
Upon hearing this, Logan grinned, knelt down, and playfully flicked Buggy's red nose with his hands. "How could I let you off so easily!"
Buggy retorted, "Then what's your plan? Are you planning to kill me? You can't joke about something like that!"
Despite Buggy's ruthless nature, he only displayed it when facing the weak. With his nose bruised and his face swollen, he was naturally more compliant.
Logan assured, "Don't worry, there's no need to kill you. But... I've got a brilliant idea!" His gaze fixated on the nearby Buggy cannon.
Since Buggy enjoyed bombarding others with the Buggy cannon, why not let him experience it firsthand?
In a matter of moments, Buggy found his head and hands stuffed into the cannon barrel, packed to the brim.
"Bastard!! Stop!" Buggy yelled frantically from inside the barrel.
Logan shrugged, then turned to Zoro. "Light it up!"
"Alright!"
Every man harbors a dream of firing a cannon, even Zoro, a swordsman, relished the idea of personally operating the cannon.
Boom! With the deafening roar of the cannon, Zoro felt a sense of exhilaration. Cannons are undeniably entertaining.
"One more shot left, Luffy, want to give it a try?" Logan asked as he continued stuffing Buggy into the cannon barrel.
"Sure!"
Luffy eagerly rubbed his hands together and approached the cannon.
"Seems a bit unfair," Logan remarked with a few more shoves into the cannon barrel. Buggy's legs protested vigorously, almost hitting Logan.
"Let me do it!" Luffy exclaimed, delivering a kick that landed squarely on Buggy's... lower region!
The two legs twitched abruptly and then slid into the barrel with a swish.
"Hey, fire in hole!"
Luffy grinned widely, revealing a big smile, and ignited the fuse.
Boom! Buggy's lower body was sent flying into the distance.
"Oh, that's not good!"
Luffy suddenly wore an apologetic expression. "It seems like I launched in a different direction than Zoro."
"It's fine, that's their problem," Logan shrugged, then gestured towards Richi and the others.
He pointed at Richi and the rest, saying, "You've got one hour to transfer all the treasures to our ship. After that, leave this island and find your captain!"
"If any of you haven't left after an hour, I'll use the Buggy Cannon to send you thousands of miles away!"
Upon hearing this, the pirates felt like they had been granted a reprieve and hurriedly began scrambling and crawling to carry out the orders.
At night, Orange Town was devoid of any Buggy Pirates' crew members.
By the port, several Straw Hat Pirates members were getting ready to depart.
At that moment, a multitude of Orange Town townspeople rushed over, carrying bacon, vegetables, eggs, and other supplies. They eagerly handed them to the Straw Hat Pirates.
"That's enough, really."
"Thank you so much!"
"Hey, hey, it's unnecessary!"
"Uh, hello? Whose kid is this? We're not into human trafficking..."
Amidst the grateful farewells of the townspeople, the Straw Hat Pirates left Orange Town.
