Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The most striking feature is... the skull's nose, which is a red circular pattern.

Clown skull!

This is a pirate ship!

"Huh? What's this...?"

The lookout on the observation tower, observing the surroundings with binoculars, happened to spot the small sailboat speeding towards them and couldn't help but pause in surprise...

"Captain Bucky, something's happened!"

Noticing this, the lookout shouted downwards, "There's a ship approaching us at six o'clock at an extremely high speed, and it's targeting us!"

"Wh...what?"

On the lower deck.

The clown-dressed man, who was taking a nap in the center seat, was startled awake, and his body involuntarily tore into pieces...

Bucky the Clown's detached head quickly looked towards the watchtower, his voice tense: "Is...is it the Navy?"

The lookout hurriedly replied, "It's neither navy nor pirates, just a somewhat dilapidated little sailboat..."

"waste!"

Upon hearing this, Bucky the Clown breathed a sigh of relief, his body began to reassemble, and he angrily cursed at the lookout: "If you're not a Marine, why are you yelling so loudly? You scared the hell out of me!"

"I...I didn't mean to, Captain Bucky..."

The lookout's tone was flustered.

Our captain has a terrible temper; he'll kill someone at the slightest provocation...

Seeing that the other party did not get angry, the lookout continued, "There's something wrong with this ship. It has no sails, but it's sailing very fast."

"They're not far from us, and they're coming for us!"

Chapter 10 Rocks' Conqueror's Haki!

"If it weren't for the navy, would they dare to come at us? Which reckless fool would dare to do this?"

Bucky snorted, his body leaping into the air, and he quickly arrived at the watchtower.

He snatched the binoculars from his subordinate and looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing.

A small boat with its sails down came straight toward them.

The word "kill" is indeed appropriate to describe it.

Because the other side didn't care at all about the pirate flag flying on their ship...

"A bounty hunter? He's got a death wish, daring to target Bucky!"

Bucky suspected they might be bounty hunters targeting them; ordinary people would run away the moment they saw a pirate ship.

Only foolish bounty hunters would see the pirate ship advancing instead of retreating.

This infuriated Bucky.

Not only does Uncle Bucky not bother others, but some reckless guy has actually set his sights on him?

Do they really think Bucky the Clown is easy to bully?

"Men, bring out the cannon!"

Buggy the Clown landed, a ferocious, cruel smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Let these fearless bastards see the might of the Buggy Pirates!!"

"Yes, Captain Bucky!"

The subordinates responded loudly and immediately began to take action.

Soon, several cannons were pushed out and aimed at the oncoming ship...

"Fire!"

Once the ship was within firing range, Bucky's red-painted lips curled into a cruel grin as he shouted, "Sink this ship!!"

With a series of 'bang bang bang' sounds, cannonballs rained down on the small boat, aiming to blast the approaching vessel to smithereens...

"It's a familiar face..."

Rocks' Observation Haki had already spread over, and he "saw" a familiar face, unable to help but smirk slightly: "Buggy the Clown..."

The small black dot we just saw wasn't an island, but a pirate ship.

Rocks was no stranger to the owner of this pirate ship.

In the original work, Buggy the Clown possesses Conqueror's Haki-like luck...

"The person destined for me is no ordinary individual, but they also have quite a temper, daring to fire at me..."

Rocks smiled knowingly when he discovered that the Buggy Pirates had opened fire on them.

"Feint!"

Using his Observation Haki to track the trajectory of the projectiles, Rocks flicked his fingers and released a series of emerald green energy balls the size of marbles.

The impact points were extremely precise; every fake bullet hit a shell.

'Boom boom boom...'

The shells were intercepted in mid-air and exploded.

The firelight illuminated the scene, and the shockwave spread, causing the calm sea to ripple slightly...

Seeing the shell explode in mid-air, Bucky narrowed his eyes: "Looks like they've got some skill, not one of those trash bounty hunters..."

After all, he was once an apprentice crew member of Roger's pirate crew, and had experienced many battles, so he was very knowledgeable.

The people on that small sailboat were no ordinary people, able to deflect the cannonballs so easily.

Bucky, however, still didn't take it to heart.

Who is he?

He was once a member of Roger's pirate crew, although he was just an apprentice crew member.

But is there anyone in the East China Sea who could threaten him?

Apart from Garp, the naval hero who occasionally goes home, Buggy doesn't take the rest of them seriously...

"Ordinary artillery shells can stop it..."

Bucky spread his arms wide, his smile becoming even more ferocious and arrogant: "Then can you stop my specially made Bucky Bomb?"

His men loaded the specially made Pakistani shells into the cannon.

Bucky seemed to already see the ship being destroyed under the bombardment of his specially made shells.

The specially designed Pakistani bomb is powerful enough to sink a warship with a single shot!

Just as Bucky was about to fire...

'boom!!'

An inexplicable sense of oppression suddenly appeared, enveloping and covering the surrounding area.

It also pressed down on everyone in Buggy's crew.

The moment this oppressive feeling appeared, time seemed to stand still, and even the gentle breeze disappeared.

All the members of the Buggy Pirates felt as if their brains had been hit hard.

One person experienced a sudden blackout and became confused.

His body seemed to have lost all strength, and with a 'thud,' he fell backward to the ground, foaming at the mouth...

Like a domino effect, as the first member foamed at the mouth and collapsed unconscious, the rest of the Buggy Pirates fell to the ground one after another like wheat being harvested...

"This...this...it is..."

Bucky was the only one conscious on the deck, but under that oppressive feeling, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

I just felt a sudden dizziness.

Fortunately, he had experienced many similar incidents and did not fall into a coma like the other members...

"Overlord... Overlord... King's... King's... Overlord's aura!!"

At this moment, Bucky's voice became stuttering, as if he had seen something terrifying.

His expression was one of fear and panic, his mouth was wide open, and a snot was running down his red nose, making him look quite comical...

He knew what kind of power this was!

That is the Conqueror's Haki that only a few people can awaken, a superior aura possessed by only one in millions!

The East China Sea, the weakest of all seas.

How could someone possess Conqueror's Haki?

And he just happened to run into it!?

'Whoosh! '

Just as Bucky was stunned, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

Bucky looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure flying toward them at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few seconds, the person had landed on the deck.

"Bucky the Clown, with a bounty of ten million Berries?"

Rocks looked down at Bucky the Joker, who was slumped on the ground with a terrified expression, and said calmly, "You've got some nerve, daring to fire at me?"

In the original comics, Bucky the Joker had a bounty of 15 million Berries.

However, there are only ten million peggs at the moment.

In the East Blue, a bounty of ten million Berries is actually quite high for a "great pirate," and Rocks had seen the bounty poster...

"Who...who...are you!?"

Looking at the excessively young Rocks, Bucky's mind went blank; he had no recollection of such a person at all.

The strongmen of the East Sea...
