Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

A pirate wearing a bandana stepped forward and said, "By the way, Captain Baji, the S-rank mercenary Hajrudin sent word that he's quitting to work for us."

"What?!" Bucky was stunned.

Halding was a giant!

They are among his most powerful combat forces!

"Fine, losing one won't matter. Aren't there still four giants left?"

"None of them are doing it anymore."

"What?! They're our star performers! How could they be here at this crucial moment?!"

Bucky's eyes widened. "Give me the reason!"

Several of Buggy's officers, who had followed him from the East Blue Buggy Pirates to where he is now, were standing nearby.

Alvida, Mochi, Kabaji, and their third brother who escaped from prison together.

Third Brother adjusted his glasses and said, "It's better if you don't ask that."

Bucky scoffed, "Speak! Speak now!"

Is there anything he can't ask?

What is his current status? Even people from the World Government have to stand at attention and speak to him!

Who made him one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea without verifying his credentials back then? Things are different now.

Third Brother spread his hands and said, "It's related to Straw Hat Boy."

Bucky's expression changed instantly.

Straw Hat Boy?!

Monkey D. Luffy, who wreaked havoc in the Impel Down war, cut off Blackbeard's ear, defeated Kaido of the Beasts, and became the fifth Emperor of the Sea.

For Buggy, his relationship with the Straw Hats is also fraught with misfortune. He was knocked away twice, and even his entry into Impel Down was because of Luffy. Now that Luffy is the hottest new emperor, Buggy, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, should not provoke him.

You should know that Luffy is known as the killer of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Can't be bothered.

He slumped down, and the former Buggy Pirates officers next to him wore expressions that said, "I knew it."

They were already used to it. Whenever Buggy was associated with that Straw Hat guy, he would have this expression. At first, he had ambitions to behead the Straw Hat in the East Blue, but after that, he lost all his ambition.

A wise person knows when to yield.

Anyone who witnessed the Straw Hats' battle in the Impel Down war should know that the monster was even stronger than their former captain.

Bucky waved his hand: "Forget it, let the giants go. We still have plenty of people."

Before he could finish speaking, someone rushed in from outside.

"Chief Pakistan! Someone wants to see you!"

"Who is it?" Bucky said irritably.

He's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea now. Does he think anyone can just see him whenever they want?

The pirate stammered, but the next second two figures appeared at the gate.

“Sashibuli, Bucky, I’ve been looking for you for ages.”

The person hadn't arrived yet, but their voice had already reached us.

A tall figure walked in.

Crocodile, formerly one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit user.

He was dressed in a black suit, wearing a fur coat, with a cigar in his mouth and a gold hook in his right hand. He looked around at the decorations and seemed quite satisfied: "Your business looks pretty good."

Following Crocodile is Mr. 1, Daz Bones, the user of the Quick-Cut Fruit, who has been quite active in the underworld recently.

The sounds of the pirates eating, drinking, and having fun nearby quieted down considerably. A meeting between two Shichibukai! It's not something you can just happen to see whenever you want.

Some pirates even stared at Crocodile with malice, as if they could kill even the Seven Warlords of the Sea if Buggy gave the order!

Not to mention that he was just a former Shichibukai.

A pirate who doesn't want to be an officer isn't a good pirate.

The Buggy Pirates are being treated incredibly well right now.

"Hey, didn't you tell them about our relationship?"

Crocodile stared at Bucky, his eyes icy. "You're spending my money."

The surrounding pirates were baffled by Crocodile's words, and many even secretly pricked up their ears.

Could this be an untold story between two Shichibukai?

The group glanced at Buggy and Crocodile, and it seemed like it wasn't entirely out of the question.

Bucky froze; he knew perfectly well what Crocodile was talking about.

Here's what happened: Two years ago, after Bucky returned from the Impel Down war, he needed a lot of money to establish Bucky Express. At that time, he hadn't found Captain John's treasure yet, so he didn't have the money. Just then, Crocodile said he had some money on hand, so Bucky borrowed it.

Now the creditors are knocking on our door!

Bucky took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down; so many of his men were watching.

He's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

A thousand taels of silver to convert Pakistan!

“If you have something to say, come in with me, guys. Crocodile and I have something to discuss. You guys keep playing the music and dancing! Don’t worry, this isn’t our place.”

Bucky tried to make his voice sound authoritative, but his legs were actually shaking.

After being taken to Crocodile's office and the door closed, Bucky immediately knelt down on the floor with a thud. "I was talking too loudly outside!"

Crocodile knew exactly what kind of person the Joker was; he hadn't come to Bucky to see him kneel.

He exhaled a puff of smoke. "It's been two years. Shouldn't you pay me back the money you owe me?"

Bucky chuckled and said, "Well, business hasn't been too good lately. Could you give me a few more days?"

"Business is bad? I heard you guys were getting so many orders outside just now."

Pakistan broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that with his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and his Buggy Express business, he would be able to pay it off quickly.

But who knew that starting a business is risky? Don't be fooled by how much you earn; there are also many expenses! All the funds have been invested and haven't been recouped yet, and now I'm unable to repay them.

Crocodile's poisonous hook was already at Bucky's neck.

"Trying to renege on my debt?"

No! No!

Bucky was scared half to death. Crocodile was no joke; it wouldn't be surprising if he stabbed him because he didn't have the money.

His mind raced, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.

"I've figured out a way to pay off my debts!"

"Oh?"

Bucky's eyes gleamed with shrewdness: "I can get Bucky Delivery to provide you with support to build a new organization, which will then be used to pay off the debt!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so I have the ability to summon people! Whenever you need me, you can mobilize my men!"

Crocodile stared at him without saying a word.

Bucky, thinking he wasn't satisfied, quickly added, "Besides, I have extensive connections! I have relationships with the World Government, the Navy, and the underworld!"

"Don't you realize you're no longer one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Crocodile interrupted him, pulled a newspaper from his pocket, and threw it in front of Bucky.

Buggy was stunned, then picked up the newspaper and saw the headline: The Seven Warlords of the Sea system has been abolished!

So who can tell him what exactly happened?

He was dumbfounded.

No, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system has been abolished?

There's been no notification from the World Government or the Navy!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and a pirate rushed in in a panic, not even bothering to knock on the door.

"Chief Pakistan! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it now?!"

"The navy fleet is here! They're right in the harbor! Their cannons are already pointed here!"

Bucky was dumbfounded.

The navy doesn't have any martial ethics!

.......

At this moment.

Luffy, who had already soared onto the back of Zunesha, was unaware of the major events that had recently occurred on this sea; the newsbirds had not yet arrived.

"Wow! That's so tall! It's even taller than Sky Island!"

Chopper's legs went weak, and he clung to Usopp's back. In fact, Usopp wasn't in much better shape either.

It's much higher than the Sky Island.

They had used the Ocean Current to fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters in just a few minutes. Now, using Vivi and Nami's Devil Fruit abilities to fly through the clouds, although the experience was novel, they were still quite panicked as they looked at the rising sea below and realized that the Going Merry was long gone.

While there was a lot of noise over there, Vivi and Uta quietly enjoyed the scenery and chatted.

"Zou sounds more like a country. Could there be a Mink princess here?"

Uta said jokingly.

Vivi paused for a moment, then gave a thoughtful look. "It seems the Mink Tribe really does have a royal family."

Uta's expression became subtle.
