Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 88 The East China Sea Arrives

the other side.

In a certain part of the East China Sea, a certain red-nosed man, just like a marshal from the Warring States period, always felt that something was off.

Buggy, the captain of the Buggy Pirates, looked at the intelligence his crew had gathered, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He secretly attended that little lecture where the East Sea Overlord taught him how to be a pirate.

To be honest, even someone as worldly-wise as him has to admit... this overlord of the East Sea really knows how to pull off some amazing things!

He's become such a pirate that he can even become a mentor and give lectures to other pirates.

He also saw it at that time...

The overlord of the East Sea certainly had a commanding presence, and his eloquence was also quite good; his analysis also made some sense.

It does sound like they're preparing to revive the glory of the East Blue Pirates.

But now...

To restore the glory of the East Blue Pirates?

Damn it, let's restore the glory of the East Blue pirates!

After being tormented by that guy twice, the pirates of the East Blue are almost all dead.

If this guy hadn't been wanted by the World Government, then the bounty of hundreds of millions wouldn't be a lie. Otherwise, Buggy would have suspected that this guy was a Navy spy who came to scam the East Blue pirates.

As someone who had been hiding in the East Blue, he could clearly feel that the pirate circle in Captain Roger's hometown... had become much more desolate.

Buggy's eyes showed hesitation. He had a feeling that something was off about the atmosphere among the East Blue pirates. Should he stay here and hide?

In particular, he had heard that the tyrant of the South Blue, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Bartholomew Kuma—had also come to the East Blue to start his own business for some reason.

During this period, they occupied islands belonging to non-member states throughout the first half of the East China Sea and were also recruiting workers on a large scale.

Of course, he wasn't surprised by things like starting a business or hiring people.

After all, to be honest, he also wanted to start his own business, like opening a delivery company or a union.

Chaos reigns everywhere. If we open a pirate dispatch company and send pirates as mercenaries to chaotic countries and regions, we're sure to make a fortune.

only.

He doesn't have that much capital now.

Moreover, I am well aware of my own situation. Without strong confidence, strength, or even a powerful backer, driving that kind of thing would be suicide.

It's estimated that in the end it will only be swallowed up by other pirates, or besieged by the World Government like that overlord of the East Blue.

So, for now, let's just focus on finding the treasure!

At this time.

Just as Bucky sighed and decided to stay away from that lousy East Sea overlord...

"Captain Bucky, your bounty has gone up!" A crew member ran in excitedly, holding a new bounty poster, and said with great enthusiasm, "It's gone up to thirty million Berries?!"

As soon as he said that...

Bucky, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and was planning to continue to lie low, immediately jumped up from his chair, turned around and looked at his crew in a daze, "What the hell? My bounty went up? I haven't done anything all this time!"

"As expected of the captain, he hasn't done anything, yet he's gained more than the other pirates?"

"That's right, Captain Buggy is the one who deserves to become the ruler of the East Blue and restore the glory of the East Blue pirates!"

"The glory of the East Blue pirates will surely shine once more under Captain Buggy's leadership!"

"Hahaha, who am I? I'm Captain Bucky!" Hearing his crew's flattery, Bucky's previously flustered expression instantly transformed into one of arrogance. He stood on his chair, hands on his hips, and laughed loudly, "Just a mere overlord of the East Blue!"

only.

Cabaji, the Buggy Pirates' chief of staff, whose hair covered his left eye and who wore a scarf and cape, lowered his voice as he looked at his somewhat smug captain and said, "But Captain, the pirates who restored the glory of the East Blue pirates are almost all dead!"

"?!"

Upon hearing Kabaji's words, Bucky, who had been smugly pleased with himself, also came to his senses.

He almost forgot about that!

Ignoring his other underlings who were caught up in the revelry, Bucky, sweating profusely, stared at the bounty poster in his hand.

His handsome appearance, coupled with the 30 million Berries, made him stagger. For some reason... he felt like someone was trying to trick him.

Never mind, I can't stay in the East China Sea any longer!

Seemingly having made a decision, Bucky raised his head again, gritting his teeth as he prepared to instruct his underlings to pack their bags.

At this time.

Another underling rushed in, shouting, "Captain Bucky, the Overlord of the East Sea—Captain Moke—has come to pay a visit!"

"???"

The unlucky guy is here?

What are you here for?

Bucky stared blankly at his underling, cold sweat beading on his forehead again. "That guy's here..."

however.

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Hahaha~"

A unique laugh rang out.

Bucky couldn't help but look up and immediately saw the burly figure that had appeared at the door.

All I saw was...

Captain Moke, the overlord of the East Sea, entered with a hearty laugh, wearing a golden cloak.

When he saw Bucky, his eyes seemed to light up, then he sighed deeply, shook his head, and said, "I thought everyone had left me. I didn't expect that Captain Bucky was still here!"

With his hands behind his back, he slightly raised his bald head, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight, as if gazing out the window with a sentimental yet melancholic air. "These past few days, seeing the desolate East Blue pirates, I've been worried about their future. But now..."

At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Buggy, his eyes fixed intently on him. "I see new hope for the East Blue pirates! With you, a veteran East Blue pirate, and me, the current ruler of the East Blue, I believe we can definitely restore the glory of the East Blue pirates!"

With a wave of his hand, his cape billowing in the wind, he stretched out his hand directly to Buggy. "Please lend me a hand! I need you, the East Blue pirates need you! Captain Buggy!"

The words were spoken.

Bucky: ...

His lips twitched, and he stared blankly at the overlord of the East Sea before him.

Can I refuse?

Go to TN and revive the glory of the East Blue pirates.

He chuckled awkwardly, ignoring his underlings who were excitedly watching him, practically begging for his approval, and looked at Moke in front of him. "Actually... I'm not a pirate from the East Blue!"

"It's alright." Moke grinned, revealing a sinister smile. "Once you come to the East Blue, you're an East Blue pirate!"

"..."

So, what exactly does this overlord of the East China Sea want to do?

……

"This guy..." Xia Che looked at the red-nosed wanted poster in his hand, sighed, and said righteously, "Does he still have any sense of honor for the East Blue pirates? Does he still have any sense of the collective spirit of the East Blue pirates? He doesn't participate in even one East Blue pirate group activity. He has no sense of honor at all."

If it weren't for seeing Robin's report and discovering that the Buggy Pirates had attended the mini-lecture and then left, they wouldn't have participated in any group activities at all.

Otherwise, I would have really forgotten about this guy.

"..."

Robin, who had overheard Xia Che's words, rolled her eyes helplessly.

What is this "East Blue Pirate Glory"?

Doesn't she know?

only.

Robin, while reading her book, said slowly, "The boss seems to be paying close attention to this little pirate?"

"Don't underestimate this guy!" Xia Che shook his head, tossed the bounty aside, and said, "His identity is not simple."

The voice just fell.

"Puru puru~, puru puru~".

A Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) rang.

It was Natsuki's Den Den Mushi. Natsuki took out the Den Den Mushi and answered it directly.

It was Moke who called.

Looking at the now bald Den Den Mushi, Natsutsu asked in confusion, "Feed? What's up?"

"Hehe, boss, this guy turned and ran as soon as he heard about reviving the glory of the East Blue pirates. He almost got away! I've caught him now!" Moke's carefree voice rang out. "But he ran to the edge of the Calm Belt. What should we do now? Take him back?"

"The edge of the Calm Zone?" Shacher nodded, just as he was about to have Mok bring the person back.

Sudden.

"Hahaha~"

Moko Den Den Mushi burst into laughter again.

Xia Che looked on with a puzzled expression, wondering why he was laughing again.

All I heard was...

Mok Den Den Mushi chuckled and said, "Boss, let me tell you, there's someone up ahead rowing a boat with a knife in the Calm Belt. It's hilarious!"

"???"
