Angel investor in the One Piece world

"Damn it! Why are those bastards from the Krieg Pirates chasing us so relentlessly?!"

One of the most notorious pirates in the East Blue, a man with a conspicuous big red nose, Buggy the Clown glared angrily at the several warships chasing after him.

He has never provoked those people!

Besides, didn't I hear that bastard Krick was killed? His head is still hanging in the port of Loguetown. What are those rotten fish under his command doing now?

How dare they chase after Uncle Bucky!

Damn it!

The Pakistani missiles aren't finished yet, otherwise they would have already blasted these guys into the sky with a few shots!

"Captain Bucky, what do we do?!"

A man dressed in furry clothes, looking like an orc, was being frantically shouted by the animal trainer on Bucky's ship, "They're catching up!"

This ship isn't as fast as the enemy's!

"Fight! Captain Bucky!"

The swordsman on the unicycle shouted loudly.

Should we engage in battle?

Bucky broke out in a cold sweat.

Are you kidding me?

The enemy has five large pirate ships! And their numbers outnumber ours several times over!

I'm not Captain Roger, and you guys aren't Rayleigh and Jabba the Elder, how could we possibly win!

run!

The only option is to run!

but.

"Captain Bucky! Fly! He's coming this way!!"

what?

Bucky instinctively looked up.

In the sky, a figure leaped across the air like a flea.

"Moonwalk?"

Bucky felt like his brain was about to explode.

How could it be Moonwalk?

How could it be Moonwalk?

Isn't this a tactic used only by agents of the World Government and high-ranking naval officers?

Why would a member of the Krieg Pirates use it?

Could it be that government officials have come to arrest me?

Bucky's face turned green instantly.

Captain Roger, help!

Boom!

The thin man, holding crutches, crashed heavily onto the deck.

His eyes, with their dark circles, quickly scanned the deck and then locked onto Bucky, who was covered in sweat.

"Bucky the Clown,"

"It's not easy to find you," said the current admiral of the Krieg Pirates, Gin the Demon.

"You're... Ghost King Akin?"

Bucky, of course, recognized this right-hand man of Krieg's. "What are you trying to do?"

Why does this guy know how to use Moonwalk? Has he been recruited by the World Government?

"invite."

Akin calmly said, "We've formed an East Blue Pirate Alliance, and as one of the pirates with the highest bounties in the East Blue, I'm here to invite you to join."

"A pirate alliance?"

Bucky immediately sneered, "Don't come to me with your childish games!"

Just kidding, when Shiki, who was rampaging through the New World, tried to recruit Roger's crew, they all refused, okay?

Although he was a little scared of Akin's arrival, Bucky never showed any fear of anyone!

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that."

A Jin's lips gradually curled into a cruel smile. "I'm inviting you to join. Whether you agree or not is none of my business."

"shave!"

Pakistan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could even react to what was happening, the iron ball embedded in the end of the crutch slammed heavily into his face.

Click.

With a clear cracking sound, Bucky's face was smashed so hard it caved in, and he crashed through the ship's side and flew out, plunging headfirst into the sea.

Ah Jin looked back.

"I surrender!"

The animal trainer, Mochi, raised his hands, sweating profusely. Beside him, his pet lion rolled over like a docile cat, revealing its soft belly.

Just kidding. Even Captain Bucky, a Devil Fruit user, was taken down in an instant. What else could they do?

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Akin calmly pointed to the scene of rolling waves, "Aren't you going to go and fish out your captain?"

"Yes, Lord Akin!"

……

At the same time that Bucky was arrested, in Loguetown, at the naval base.

"Smoker, you're going a bit too far,"

A calm voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "In any case, we shouldn't take such a harsh stance against civilians without any evidence."

"Mr. Sengoku, do you call that Damian a commoner?"

Smoker puffed out two cigars, filling the air with smoke.

"We all know that guy is no ordinary person! Many officers at the Loguetown naval base have close ties with Moretti! This is no secret in Loguetown! He even used those officers transferred out to further expand his family's business!"

"But you have no evidence to prove that Damian corrupted those marines, do you?"

The admiral on the other end of the phone simply gave a calm reply.

"Isn't that enough, Mr. Sengoku! Isn't that obvious enough?"

Smoker roared, "You're not going to become that guy's protector just because Moretti became a government arms supplier, are you?"

"Watch your attitude, Colonel!"

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku was annoyed by his subordinate's questioning. "The Moretti family has become an important partner of the government. Your mission is to protect them from East Blue pirates, not to harass them!"

"You can call whoever you want to do this task! I can't do it!"

Smoker raised his hand to hang up the phone.

but.

"In this process, collect everything you want to collect. All the government wants is Moretti's weapons, not Moretti Damian himself. We need at least one reason that the government cannot refuse."

"..."

Smoker was slightly taken aback.

Moretti Estate.

The agents from CP5 have happily boarded their ship and returned to the Grand Line.

He took a total of one thousand weather weapons from Moretti's estate.

Rogge Town has far more resources than Alabasta, after all, it is a strategic stronghold, and Damian already controls a large caravan.

Therefore, when the factory was first built, the production of weather weapons in Loguetown was more than twice that of Alabasta, with an average of more than 100 weather gadgets produced per day.

Over the years, Damian's estate has stored two thousand sets of weather weapons, and production has ceased. This is sufficient for their needs, and these things have an expiration date.

A thousand sets of weapons were exchanged for three billion Berries in cash. It has to be said that the World Government is indeed very wealthy.

This is only the first purchase.

The World Government has a huge demand for weather weapons and requires Damian to provide 3,000 sets next month, with production reaching 10,000 sets per month within six months.

After all, this thing only has a one-year lifespan, and there are millions of navy personnel worldwide. If the production volume is not large enough, it simply won't be enough.

This is indeed a big deal.

Dadamian was somewhat worried that the government might send a general to his door to arrest him on the spot.

Damian needs to significantly expand its factory to substantially increase production capacity.

He immediately made a grand gesture, acquiring several large plots of land on the outskirts of Loguetown, and incidentally took over the shipyard from the Connie family—experienced shipwrights were indispensable for building weather ships.

A few days later, construction began on new factories—not just for weather props, but also for combat robots.

We should thank the population of Rogge; with over 500,000 people, finding enough labor is not difficult.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, and Damian was finally able to take a short rest.

However, it wasn't a complete rest.

Damian specifically set aside time to teach Enel the Six Powers.

Haki is the answer in later versions. Without enough powerful Haki, Enel would only become a discarded character with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit alone.

Just as he was using the puppet strings to control Enel and let him experience the Six Powers, a phone call came in.

"Damian, we've captured Bucky the Clown, but he's completely unmoved by our invitation. What should we do with him?"

He is Damian's good friend and Captain Kuro, who leads the pirate alliance.

"Oh?"

Damian immediately became interested.

What level of investment would the future Pirate Emperor be?

"Don't touch him. I'm coming over here to talk to him myself."

"You're coming here in person? For Bucky?"

Kro was a little confused; he didn't think Bucky was anything special.

but.

"Whatever."

Since this was Damian's decision, he couldn't change it.

And it was at this moment.

"Brother Damian!"

Sanji rushed back after saying goodbye to Boss Zeff, his face filled with panic.

"I...I'm going to become a monster!"
