Chapter 32 Searching for answers! Buggy’s own path to the strong! (Ch 32)

“boom–“

With the dull roar after the dust and magma were blocked, the Oro Jackson, with the help of Marco, finally landed steadily in the square in front of the execution platform of Marinford. Although the hull was seriously damaged, it finally avoided the fatal crisis.

“Are you…saved?”

The prisoners slumped on the deck, looking at each other, their eyes filled with relief and disbelief at having survived the disaster.

“Bucky, you bastard, you let them…”

With the sound of a sticky liquid sliding down, Mr. 3’s figure regrouped beside Bucky. He clenched his hands tightly and grabbed the former’s collar angrily, but was shaken by the sudden explosion of artillery fire beside him.

“Now is not the time to assign blame.”

Jinbei smashed several flying shells with one punch and shouted:

“We have to get out of here immediately. The Navy won’t give us much breathing room.”

“Ace——”

With a loud roar, a figure leaped up from the deck like an arrow and rushed towards the execution platform desperately.

“This idiot!”

Buggy looked at the scarred figure dashing around in the navy crowd. Although he cursed, his eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

In his previous life, he had seen too many intrigues and power struggles. Even the explosion that caused him to travel through time might have been a conspiracy caused by him violating the interests of certain people.

Therefore, since his rebirth, he has always pursued strength by any means necessary, whether in a dark and damp prison or on a battlefield full of dangers. As long as he can make himself stronger and gain more worship points, he is willing to sacrifice everything, including the so-called friendship and moral bottom line.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to throw Mr. 3 to block the attack without hesitation.

However, von Clay’s selfless dedication and the courage of the man in front of him made him feel an unprecedented surge of blood in his heart – there are always some things worth protecting and fighting for, even at the cost of one’s life.

“Captain Roger…”

He muttered to himself, his eyes falling on the bloodstained straw hat, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, as if resonating with a moment in the past…

…..

Thirty-eight years ago.

New World, Ed Wohey.

Countless pirate ships flying golden lion battle flags surrounded a majestic red sailing ship like a swarm of locusts. The sea was rough and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and the atmosphere of an impending battle.

“Captain Roger—”

“Life is the most important thing, why don’t we just follow the Golden Lion first!”

On the deck, a red-nosed young man stood trembling beside Roger, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes wandering between the ships that were eyeing him covetously, his heart filled with fear and anxiety.

“Hey, Bucky.”

Shanks turned around and patted the former on the shoulder:

“You have become so indestructible that you cannot be killed no matter how hard you try. What does it matter?”

“But I have a lot of weaknesses too! You idiot!”

The young man, Bucky, cried and shouted, but the fear in his eyes faded a little.

“By the way, Mr. Kurokas, how is the captain’s condition?”

He suddenly remembered the shirtless old man with flower-like hair in the cabin, and rushed forward, almost begging:

“He is definitely not fit for combat, right? As a doctor, go and try to persuade him!”

The latter put down the medicine bottle in his hand and shook his head awkwardly:

“What a coincidence, Buggy. Captain Roger is in unexpectedly good condition.”

“Mr. Rayleigh…”

Just as the former was about to say something, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The cabin curtain was flung open, and Jabba grabbed Bucky’s shoulder and pulled him aside:

“Don’t make things more complicated. Captain Roger has already made up his mind. We can’t avoid this battle.”

“You have to trust the Oro Jackson that Thom built, Bucky!”

Rayleigh, who was tightening the sails, suddenly shouted, and then murmured in a low voice:

“Roger doesn’t have much time left…”

On the other side, on a large golden ship, a blond man stood proudly:

“Although we had many grievances when we were young, let’s just forget about him.”

He stretched out a hand and pointed to the distant sky, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes:

“As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the weapon that can destroy the world, combined with my military strength and the perfect plan I have carefully constructed over the years, this world will be within my grasp!”

“Be my right arm, Roger!”

“I have to tell you several times before you believe me, Shiqi. I have no interest in so-called ruling.”

Roger stood opposite with a faint smile on his face:

“What’s the point of being a pirate if you don’t do what you want to do!”

“So… no matter how much pressure you put on me, I won’t give in.”

Golden Lion Shiki sneered:

“You mean to let me end your life myself, Roger?”

He gently stroked his fingers over his head, and in an instant, the sky seemed to be infected by his anger, with dark clouds covering it, strong winds raging, and the waves seemed to be roaring for him.

“Come on!”

Roger was not afraid and tied the straw hat gently on his head.

“Stop talking, Captain. Do you know how many ships that guy has?”

As the ship shook violently, Buggy pointed in horror at the endless golden fleet in the distance, his voice trembling undisguisedly.

“Remember, some things are much more important than life.”

The former smiled and slowly drew the sword from his waist.

“Watch this, Buggy, Shanks, I’ll only teach you once!”

“God, avoid!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a black lightning wrapped around the tip of his sword, like a black dragon emerging from the sea, instantly splitting the sea surface in two. Huge waves rolled and dispersed to both sides, revealing a bottomless trench.

The Golden Lion’s fleet seemed to become insignificant in the face of this force, and even the strongest hulls began to tremble…

【bite!】

[Hidden Mission: Fallen Wanderer has been triggered]

[Mission details: Former Navy Admiral Zephyr was disheartened by a major incident and left the Navy to become a wanderer. He was filled with anger at the corruption and inaction of the Navy’s top brass, and heartbroken by the rampant pirates.]

[The system has detected that Zefa is currently living in seclusion in a port near Marinford. He has mastered the powerful Six Styles of the Navy and many combat skills, and has a team of equally dissatisfied navy soldiers.]

[Mission requirements: You need to find Zefa within ten minutes and convince him to join your team to fight against the corruption of the navy and the rampage of pirates.]

[Reward]: If you successfully complete the mission, you will gain the loyalty of Zephyr and his team, unlock the special skill “Navy Six Styles Mastery”, and a large amount of admiration points.

This… triggering a hidden task at this time?

“I’m sorry…I refuse!”

Bucky muttered, his eyes returning to the falling figure.

Yes, maybe this opportunity is very important. Maybe with Zefa joining me, my journey in this world will undoubtedly be smoother…….

But some things are more important, aren’t they?

“Young men, return to your fighting positions!”

“Do your best to cover the Straw Hat guy as he moves forward!”

Buggy picked up a sword with a bent blade on the ground, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination.

“God, avoid!!!”
