Trafalgar Law: "This Conqueror's Haki is really unfair..."
Capone Bege: "Facing someone with Conqueror's Haki, the advantage in numbers no longer means anything"
Eustass Kid: "Damn it! How can his Conqueror's Haki even split the ship?!!"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu...!! Conqueror's Haki, when trained to a certain level, can be transformed into substantial attacks! However,... that is definitely as difficult as reaching the heavens"
Eustass Kid: "You also possess Conqueror's Haki, can you achieve that level?"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Are you kidding? If we don't count the entanglement of Conqueror's, the ability to turn mere intimidation into substantial attacks is currently only known to Red Hair Shanks."
Eustass Kid: "What!! The difficulty is that high??"
Trafalgar Law: "So you're saying there are two people over there who can achieve that level!"
Basil Hawkins: "The talent of the Straw Hat kid is incredibly terrifying"
Monkey D. Garp: "I can't take it anymore... The more I look at Luffy over there, the more I feel like my grandson is just wasting his time!!!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "..."
On the deck of the Buggy Pirates
Buggy is still holding his finger in the position of giving orders to Luffy...
Sweat starts to pour down his forehead
This is... Conqueror's Haki!!!
And it's Conqueror's intimidation that can be transformed into substantial attacks!!!
In this East Blue, ordinary pirates probably have no idea what Conqueror's Haki is
But Buggy has seen the New world
When he was on Roger's pirate ship, Roger, Rayleigh, and Kozuki Oden all had Conqueror's Haki, and at that time, Shanks hadn't awakened his Conqueror's Haki.
Buggy, who grew up in that kind of environment, how could he not know what Conqueror's Haki represents???
Not to mention the Conqueror's intimidation that can be transformed into substantial attacks!!!
A strong one!!
An absolute strong one...!!!
Just one glance, and Buggy instantly dispelled all thoughts of resistance
In the face of such a strong opponent, resistance is a joke!!!
Just as Buggy didn't know what to say, his pupils suddenly contracted!!!
His gaze instantly shifted to the straw hat on Luffy's head
Huh? This straw hat... why does it look so familiar???
Soon, an image of a person who likes to wear a white shirt appeared in Buggy's mind
Shanks' straw hat?
No... it can't be!
Shanks' straw hat was given to him by Captain Roger, how could he give it to someone else?
Impossible... absolutely—impossible!!
Buggy immediately dismissed this "absurd" speculation
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Monkey D. Luffy," Luffy spoke up at this moment.
Buggy also didn't dare to make any extreme movements, so he introduced himself as well.
"I am Buggy, the captain of the Buggy Pirates!"
"Alright, Buggy, do you know about sailing?" Luffy asked again.
Upon hearing this, Buggy became excited!!!
The expression on his face was full of pride:
"Hahaha! You've asked the right person! When I was young, I sailed in the latter half of the Grand Line! Later, our captain disbanded the pirate crew, and that's when I came to the East Blue from the Grand Line. If we're talking about sailing, I dare say that in this East Blue, no one knows more about sailing than me!!"
*Clap!* Luffy slaps his thigh!
Isn't this a coincidence? This is exactly the kind of talent he is looking for!!!
He wants to improve his strength through battles with strong opponents, so he definitely needs to enter the Grand Line. And the person in front of him has experience in the Grand Line, isn't he the perfect guide???
Of course, at this moment, Luffy has no intention of recruiting Buggy as a crewmate.
He has witnessed the actions of Buggy's pirate crew just now, and he doesn't like this group of people.
Right now, he only needs a guide who can lead them to the Grand Line, so his idea is... to "borrow" the captain of Buggy's pirate crew. Once he finds a suitable navigator, he will let him go.
Thinking of this, Luffy grins and says, "That's great! I happen to need a guide. Please stay with me as the a navigator for a while and help me navigate to the Grand Line."
(O_o)??
Buggy's proud expression instantly freezes
"Hey hey hey, don't joke around! Look at the size of my crew, what will happen to my brothers if I become your navigator"
Buggy spreads his hands and looks at the pirates around him who have been knocked out by Conqueror's Haki
Luffy doesn't respond, but casually reveals his eight-pack abs...
Still covered in the densest Armament Haki imaginable...
Three drops of sweat slide down Buggy's temples
Luffy calmly looks at Buggy, "What do you say? Any intention to change your mind?"
Buggy's face darkens
Damn it!!
With you like this, do I have the right not to change my mind???
Buggy is not stupid, of course he knows that if he doesn't agree, the consequences will be unimaginable!!!
"If you put it that way... I suddenly changed my mind! Grand Line... that's the dream place of my youth. It's been so many years, it's time to go back and take a look" Buggy finds a way out for himself.
And so, Buggy takes his navigation chart and boards the small boat with Luffy...
The scene ends here
The screen with the red border gradually fades...
On the marine ship at Impel Down
Luffy looks surprised, "Hey? Buggy, are you sailing with me over there?"
Buggy speechless, "I have eyes, I can see!"
"Straw Hat Luffy, it seems that Captain Buggy over there has good intentions towards you!"
"That Captain Buggy over there must have recognized the straw hat you're wearing, so he changed his mind and wanted to bring you into the Grand Line!"
"The Grand Line! It's the dream place of all pirates! Captain Buggy actually personally became your guide to lead you into the Grand Line, it's so touching!!!"
"That straw hat was given to Shanks by Pirate King Roger, so it seems that Captain Buggy must be reminded of his Captain Roger when he sees that straw hat!"
"And now, that straw hat is worn by a young boy, so Captain Buggy is willing to lower himself and protect this young boy!!!"
.....
Listening to the prisoners around him, Luffy alternates between a confused expression and nodding.
Finally, he looks at Buggy, "Buggy, I didn't expect you to be such a good person..."
..."
Buggy's mouth twitches non-stop
