After a while, the boss seemed to have figured something out. He slowly raised his head. The killing intent in his eyes lessened. He looked at Buggy and his crew and said, "Alright, I'll take your word for it. 1 million Berries. We'll buy one unit. Do we come aboard to get it, or will you deliver it to our ship?"
Buggy, of course, sensed the killing intent emanating from the other party, but he didn't immediately attack. He didn't need to attack these people.
"Kuro, go to the storage room and get a unit of food that can feed ten people for ten days. Then, you personally deliver it to their ship."
Buggy thought that Kuro could handle them. As for the food that could feed ten people for ten days, it was to further provoke them.
The boss clearly heard what Buggy said. He instantly became enraged, but he managed to suppress it.
He didn't expect that the 1 million Berry food was only enough for ten people to eat for ten days. If they were truly short on supplies, they might be ripped off for a large sum, or they might have to sail with empty stomachs. There were more than ten people on their ship.
Although the boss was about to lose control of his anger, he waited patiently. He waited for the best opportunity to arrive.
It didn't take long before Kuro came out of the storage room with a bundle containing ten days' worth of food for ten people.
Kuro didn't immediately use Soru (moonwalk) to fly over. Buggy called out to Weevil and had him place a plank between the two ships. He had Kuro walk down from the ship. After Kuro boarded the other ship, the plank wasn't retracted.
Seeing this, a hint of undisguised joy flashed in the boss's eyes. After Kuro boarded the ship, he immediately changed his expression. His face instantly became murderous. Then, he chuckled smugly and said, "You greedy fools! You dare to extort from me? Today, I'm going to make you and your ship my cargo!"
After saying this, the boss and his subordinates all showed exaggerated smiles. They all drew their weapons and ran towards Kuro and the plank leading to Buggy's ship.
Buggy and his crew didn't move. They stood at the bow and watched quietly. Kuro, at this moment, threw the bundle back onto the Glory. Then, a pair of iron cat claws quickly appeared in his hands.
Before the other party could charge over, Kuro disappeared from his spot. Then, one by one, the figures charging towards him fell to the ground for no reason. Some of them were directly killed. Some were scratched by the cat claws, leaving huge claw marks. They lay on the ground, wailing in pain. As more and more people fell, the boss and everyone else realized something was wrong. They might have kicked a hornet's nest. One person was enough to defeat them all.
"Sir, we were wrong. Please show mercy. We are truly members of the Donquixote Family. Please, for the sake of the Donquixote Family, spare our lives. The Donquixote Family will definitely repay you handsomely afterwards."
Seeing the other party's strength, the boss no longer had his previous thoughts. He only hoped to escape with his life.
As for why he emphasized that he was a member of the Donquixote Family, it was because he was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him. They might think he was just making an excuse to rob them. He also wanted to use the Donquixote Family to pressure the other party, hoping that they would spare their lives for the sake of the Donquixote Family.
"You dare to rob us? We don't care if you're from the Donquixote Family. Now that it's come to this, we definitely can't let you go."
If Doflamingo had reached the same level of Devil Fruit awakening as he would later, Buggy might have given him some face. But at this stage, the other party's force had offended him. There was no face to be given. At this stage, even if they fought, it was uncertain who would win. There was no need to give any face.
Hearing this, the boss's face instantly turned pale. But for the sake of his life, he made a final attempt. He shouted, "Sir, the Donquixote Family is the most powerful criminal underworld in the North Blue. I hope you will consider this carefully."
This was the boss's last struggle. He said this because he was afraid that the other party didn't know how powerful the Donquixote Family was. If the other party knew their strength, they would definitely hesitate.
"Kuro, kill them all."
There was no need to say anything more. What could the Donquixote Family do? In a few years, they would be nothing more than a small ant that he could crush at any time. There was no need. He didn't want to give them any face.
Hearing Buggy's words, Kuro sped up. It didn't take long before everyone who had charged towards them, including the boss, was eliminated by Kuro.
After dealing with all the corpses on the ship, everyone went to the other ship. Buggy's Observation Haki scanned the entire ship. He found some good things, so he also went aboard.
Buggy first led everyone to the kitchen. He didn't rush to find those things. He came here for a reason. He discovered that besides the bottom of the ship, there was another person alive in the kitchen.
When he arrived, Buggy quickly saw the figure. Under his Observation Haki's scan, he discovered that the other party was a young girl with yellow hair. She was wearing a chef's uniform that was clearly too big for her. She was trembling, hiding under the counter in the kitchen.
Buggy guessed that she wasn't part of the Donquixote Family's group. She might have been forced to come here. From her appearance, she might have some culinary talent. This was exactly the kind of talent they lacked on their ship. So, he brought everyone here.
This group of people had a little girl as their chef. This undoubtedly proved that her cooking skills were excellent.
"Come out. We're not bad people. That group has been dealt with. You don't need to be afraid. After this is over, if you want to go home, we can send you back."
He had to soothe her first. As for sending her home, if she really wanted to go home, Buggy would send her back.
But she might not even have a home. After all, she was a little girl. She couldn't have gone out alone. The fact that she was alone here meant that her parents might have had an accident. And it was likely that her parents had died. Then, she would have no home. Whether she went back or not wouldn't matter.
They had rescued her and helped her deal with her enemies. With their kindness, it was likely that she would agree to their request as long as they made their intentions clear.
"Are, are you really good people? Did you really defeat that group?"
The little girl trembled as she spoke. She peeked out from under the counter and looked at Buggy and his crew.
