Shanks: "Great, Buggy over there is going to make progress!!"
Silver Rayleigh: "I hope Buggy over there can show us the limit of the Split Split Fruit!"
Crocus: "The determination in his eyes when he bent down to pick up the sword just now was extraordinary"
Gol·D·Roger: "Hey hey hey! Little Buggy, you better work hard over there! You need to put in effort too!"
Buggy: "Captain, I will!"
If someone else said this, Buggy definitely wouldn't care about them.
But since Roger said it, Buggy still has to respond
Two days later, the small boat arrived at Syrup Village.
Zoro's training also brought good news!
His Observation Haki has finally officially started!!
"Luffy, this feeling is really amazing!" After officially starting his Observation Haki, Zoro seemed to have opened a door to the New World!!
Compared to now, he felt that his previous battles were like being a blind and deaf person...
Now, he is a person with all five senses intact!
"Huh? Encountering fellow pirates!" As soon as the three of them docked the small boat, Buggy turned his head and saw a pirate ship emerging from the cliff on the other side, heading towards them.
Zoro looked at the scene around him and frowned, "These pirates... how did they come to such a remote place?"
Luffy casually said, "Maybe they're just passing by, let's not bother with them. Let's go buy supplies in the village!"
The three of them got off the boat and walked up a long slope.
"Hey! Stop!!" A pirate wearing a cat mask jumped down from the pirate ship and stood in front of Luffy and the others.
He looked arrogant, sneering at the three of them, "Seeing the Jolly Roger of our Black Cat Pirates, you still dare to move around? Did you think you could just leave?"
With the Black Cat Pirates' pirate ship docking, a large number of pirates wearing various cat masks and cat paws rushed over and surrounded the three of them.
"What's going on? Didn't the captain tell us to hide and wait for his message? What are you guys doing?" The crowd of pirates parted, and a man in a suit with heart-shaped glasses walked over.
This is Jango, the vice-captain of the Black Cat Pirates.
"Vice-captain, we were planning to hide here, but we ran into these three people!"
Explained Buzhi, a fighter of the Black Cat Pirates.
However, when Jango's gaze fell on those three people, he suddenly froze!!
Huh??
"Buggy!!——" Being from the East Blue, Jango naturally recognized Buggy at a glance.
"Since you know this great me, you better get lost!" Buggy said impatiently.
Facing Buggy, Jango was still a little flustered
But it wasn't to the extent of a mouse seeing a cat
He was thinking that Buggy's bounty is 15 million berries bounties, while their Black Cat Pirates' captain, Kuro, has a bounty of 16 million berries.
In terms of combat power, Buggy and Kuro are probably evenly matched...
Although their captain just went into the village, Buggy is still alone!!
The two little guys next to Buggy, who looked like interns, were automatically ignored by Jango
So, Jango straightened his collar, pulled himself together, and said, "Sorry! Our captain has important business in this village. Buggy, please give me, Jango, some face and leave on your own"
Give him face?
Damn it!
Buggy was infuriated when he heard this!!!
Because Shanks likes to say this catchphrase!
If it were a normal situation, Buggy wouldn't have clashed with so many pirates on his own, but now he has Luffy, a big backer by his side, naturally giving him confidence.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to talk about face with this lord?"
Without hesitation, Buggy's hand flew out and swiftly grabbed Jango by the neck, lifting him up.
"You bastard, you're asking for death!"
"Attack! Save the vice captain!"
"He dares to be so arrogant while alone, let's scratch him to death!"
...
Seeing this, the pirates of the Black Cat Pirates around them all brandished their weapons and charged forward
Crash!
Luffy's Conqueror's Haki leaked out slightly, causing these pirates to faint on the ground, foaming at the mouth...
Buggy retracted his hand and forcefully pressed Jango's head onto the ground!
Boom!
Jango immediately lost consciousness!
Buggy clapped the dust off his gloves and disdainfully said, "What a bunch of ignorant fools..."
Then, he looked at Luffy and asked, "Should we kill them?"
Luffy furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment.
Having witnessed countless life-and-death battles since he was a child, he naturally knew that this world was cruel!
Once you become enemies, it's either you die today or I perish tomorrow!
Just as he was about to agree with Buggy's suggestion, Zoro suddenly shouted, "Hey! Isn't what you guys are doing too wasteful?
???
Upon hearing this, both Buggy and Luffy showed puzzled expressions
How did killing pirates become associated with wastefulness???
Zoro pointed at the group of pirates and shouted, "Do you know how much these pirates are worth when added together?!!!
As a bounty hunter who had been forced into the trade, Zoro had spent four years in the bounty career!
He could instantly recognize the value of each person in the crowd!
Although the rest of the pirates had bounties averaging only a few hundred thousand Berries per person, when added together, it was still a considerable sum!
Zoro made a hand gesture of money to Luffy and Buggy, and said seriously, "This is at least a bounty of 50 million Berries!!"
Hiss!!
Buggy couldn't help but inhale sharply!
He had never realized before that pirates were worth so much money
Luffy's heart couldn't help but race!
50 million Berries! How much meat could that buy!!!
Thinking of this, Luffy suddenly slapped his thigh and excitedly looked at Zoro, "So... we're going to get rich?"
"Yeah! We're going to get rich!"
"Hahaha!"
A path to wealth was clearly presented before the two of them
