"Captain, we should leave here as soon as possible. If we stay here, we might face a full-scale siege."
Looking at the scene before him, Kuro knew they couldn't stay here. Such a commotion would soon alert the higher-ups of Illysia. They would definitely send an army to surround them.
Although their strength was formidable, they might be overwhelmed by a thousand troops. Especially someone as weak as him, he might be in danger. He felt the crisis and immediately told Buggy his thoughts.
Buggy heard Kuro's words and looked around. He also knew that if he stayed here, he might really face a siege.
After all, this was the capital of a country. Causing such a commotion here and killing so many kingdom soldiers, the higher-ups wouldn't stand idly by. They would definitely send a large army.
He also knew that even though he was very strong now, everyone has their limits. He might face some kind of conspiracy, and if he wasn't careful, he might be in danger of death. There was no need to stay and face them head-on.
"Let's go first. Let's get the ship out of the dock, and then we'll make a plan."
They had to get their ship out of the dock. Otherwise, if they encountered a siege, their ship wouldn't be able to leave. It might even be destroyed by those people. That would be a huge loss.
This was a ship he had built at great expense. So, he had to get the ship out to sea as soon as possible. As for what to do next, he would make a plan after interrogating the leader.
Buggy led everyone, including the leader, towards the dock where the Glory was docked.
After they left, the gruesome scene and the deaths of the kingdom soldiers quickly spread to various forces, including those who were interested.
In a luxurious manor, an old man and a burly middle-aged man were having a secret meeting.
"Damn it! Who are those people? Go find out for me. The kingdom's elite soldiers were completely helpless against them. They didn't even defeat a single one of them. They're a bunch of good-for-nothings."
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"Gather another group of people. We must eliminate them. And find out about Lena's contact points. Clean them all up. Don't make any more mistakes."
"Understood, sir. I'll take my leave."
The man understood what the sir meant. He was told to completely eliminate Lena's contact points. Don't leave anyone alive. This was to prevent any more information from being leaked. Then, even if Buggy and his crew learned something from Lena, they wouldn't be able to investigate further.
This matter was also causing waves among the kingdom's higher-ups. The nature of the incident was undeniably heinous. Such a thing had happened in the kingdom's capital. They dared to kill the kingdom's soldiers in the streets. These people were audacious. They might threaten their safety. Buggy and his crew were like a ticking time bomb for the kingdom. They might do something else. So, they had to take action. The various higher-ups began to contact each other and discuss how to deal with Buggy and his crew.
And those higher-ups who held military power immediately dispatched troops to the scene of the crime. After obtaining the approval of higher-ranking officials, they began to take action against Buggy and his crew.
The city gates were closed. The army took over. Soldiers appeared on the city walls. They were dressed in full armor and ready for battle. Many soldiers began patrolling the city, searching for Buggy and his crew.
Of course, Buggy and his crew noticed this commotion, but they had already entered the dock and sailed out of the harbor before the soldiers could seal off the city.
They stopped the Glory in the nearby waters. They called Hogback to check the leader's injuries. After confirming that he wasn't in any life-threatening danger, they pulled a bucket of seawater from the sea and poured it on the leader's face.
The leader slowly opened his eyes after the seawater was poured on him. As he opened his eyes, his entire face contorted instantly. His teeth chattered.
This was all caused by the pain. The intense pain almost made the leader faint again.
"Hey, who sent you after us? Those human traffickers are dead. Why are you so concerned about them? You even sent a Devil Fruit user like you. That's a bit of an overreaction, isn't it?"
Seeing that the other party had woken up, Buggy directly asked the question he wanted to know. Now, he was the fish, and he was the butcher. He believed that the leader knew what to do.
But the leader's reaction was unexpected. He didn't say anything. He just stared at Buggy, his eyes filled with hatred, without answering a word.
Seeing the leader's reaction, Buggy knew he had met a tough nut to crack. The other party might have already made up his mind to die. He might not answer a single question.
This gave Buggy a headache. He thought carefully about how to break the leader's resolve. He had to get some information from him. That way, he could make his next plan.
After thinking for ten minutes, Buggy came up with a plan. This plan might achieve the outcome he wanted.
The plan was simple. If brute force didn't work, then he would try a softer approach. Buggy decided to tell the leader everything he knew about the human traffickers, including the fact that some high-ranking officials in Illysia were involved.
This method could have two effects. If the other party was also involved in human trafficking, he wouldn't say anything. In that case, Buggy wouldn't show any mercy. Even if he didn't get any useful information, Buggy would directly eliminate him.
On the other hand, if the other party wasn't involved in this matter and was completely unaware of it, as a kingdom official, he wouldn't just stand by and watch.
If he still had a conscience, he would answer his questions. If he still didn't answer, it would mean that he didn't have a conscience and didn't care about the lives of those civilians. In that case, there was no point in keeping him alive. Buggy would eliminate him without hesitation.
Next, Buggy detailed the incident about the human traffickers, explaining the size of their organization and that they had a powerful backer, possibly a high-ranking official in the kingdom.
The leader listened. Anger appeared on his face. This was something he couldn't tolerate. He couldn't believe that the kingdom had such darkness. There was such a large human trafficking organization, and their backer was actually a high-ranking official in the kingdom.
He might have become a pawn in someone else's hands. Those who wanted to get back at Buggy might have sent him out.
