Chapter 81: No More Hiding! King of the Underground World! (Ch 81)

“So, the Captain is actually… Rocks’ child!!”

Kabaji, who had been standing there listening, was stunned. Shiqi’s words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present speechless with shock.

“Since then, the Rocks Pirates have disbanded, and Osa also developed a grudge against me and returned to Nine Snake Island alone, never to come out again. Also, John, feeling guilty, has turned to pursuing treasure…”

At this point, Shiki’s eyes became deep and complicated, as if that memory was both painful and precious to him:

“And I gathered the remaining pirates on Beehive Island and founded the Flying Pirates, launching rounds of revenge and destruction against the World Government in a crazy manner.

As he spoke, he looked at Buggy, his eyes red:

“But every night when everyone is asleep, I always think of that child and Captain Rocks’ last words.”

Shi Ji’s voice trembled slightly, as if the memory hidden deep in his heart was now flooding back like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to control himself.

“Kid, remember! No matter where you are, no matter what your name is, your last name will always have ‘D’ engraved in it! Captain Rocks is gone, but his will and his dream must be continued by you!”

“D? So, the dreaded Rocks is also a member of the D clan? This is big news that will shock the world!”

Morgans, who was eavesdropping on the side, suddenly had his eyes light up, and he quickly wrote on the paper with his pen, as if he had discovered the most amazing secret in the world:

“Wait, if Buggy is really Rocks’ child, then his identity is more than just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. A descendant of the D clan, plus Rocks’ legacy… what a storm this will be!”

“咈咈咈咈咈~”

“So, except for Whitebeard who died in Marinford, half of the emperors of the New World were once Rocks’ crew members?!”

Doflamingo grinned and threw a horned Den Den Mushi aside. The Den Den Mushi continued to chatter, but he ruthlessly ignored it:

“But this is exactly what I want. With this secret weapon, we can join forces and rewrite the map of this sea!”

“Ahem… ahem… you have a pretty good plan…”

Shi Ji forced himself to stand up, with a little blood suddenly flowing out of the corner of his mouth:

“After the captain disappeared, Linlin and Kaido each ruled their own territories. One became Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, and controlled the Ten Thousand Nations; the other became the leader of Kaido’s pirate group, also one of the Four Emperors, and called the shots in the New World. But for some reason, they were not interested in rebuilding the Rocks Pirates…”

As he said this, he turned around and glanced at everyone present, smiling faintly:

“However, I think Doflamingo is right about one thing, that is, we should take this opportunity to integrate the entire underground world!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him focused their eyes on Shiqi, their faces filled with surprise, confusion… and a hint of imperceptible expectation.

“Are you…are you kidding me? You want us to obey others again?!”

The fat body of the “Loan Shark King” Feld trembled slightly in the chair, his small eyes flashing with cunning and dissatisfaction:

“Just let us go! I’ll take whatever money you want!”

“Don’t say that, Feld.”

Stussy, the “Queen of Fun Street,” sat elegantly on the side, gently playing with her long hair with her fingers, a charming smile on her face:

“In fact, it’s not bad to unite! In the New World, we don’t have to suffer the anger of those sea emperors anymore, and we can fight against the oppression of the navy and the world government together.”

“Don’t think I don’t know your background, Stussy.”

Morgans suddenly interrupted. His pen tip quickly moved across the paper, as if recording some important information:

“You were once an undercover agent of CP0, and you know the inner workings of the Navy and the World Government very well. Would you really be willing to join this alliance?”

“I don’t have any objection, but how should the benefits be distributed when the time comes?”

“Big Hand Undertaker” Pierre Crowe gently stroked the pipe in his hand: “After all, each of us has our own goals and ambitions, right?”

“That’s enough!!”

Bucky suddenly covered his head and yelled, the confusion and astonishment on his face were instantly replaced by anger.

“Did any of you ask for my opinion before deciding on this matter?!”

He looked at the familiar faces in the distance who were exchanging fire with the navy, his face filled with inexplicable dissatisfaction and anger:

“I just wanted to be a rich man and enjoy a leisurely life!”

“You suddenly told me that I am Rocks’ child, and then asked me to inherit his will and lead you to fight against the navy, the World Government, and even the Four Emperors? Have you ever considered my feelings? When did I agree to bear such a burden?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of determination flashed in Bucky’s eyes. He turned around suddenly and wanted to leave, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by a beautiful figure.

“It’s already this hour, why are you still being so petty!”

Alrita gasped:

“You’ve changed completely since you came out of Impel Down. I don’t care if you were pretending before, but now, you have to cheer up!”

As she spoke, she grabbed Buggy by the collar and pointed at the pirates fighting on the sea, her eyes reddened:

“Each of them has been saved by you, or has benefited from your kindness. They are now fighting the navy fearlessly. And Kabaji and Mochi, do you know how they have survived these past two years?”

“You just patted your butt and went to practice, leaving a huge mess for us to clean up!”

Alrita’s voice was tearful but very firm.

“We need a leader! Now is the time for you to step up and take responsibility for them and for all of us!”

“Actually, Sister Alrita is right, Captain!”

Kabaji also stood up. Although he was always laughing and joking, his eyes were unusually serious at this moment:

“Brothers, we are not afraid of the navy or the Four Emperors. Although you were always unreliable and all you thought about was treasure, you have always been loyal and courageous. Now that you know your own life experience, you should stand up and lead us to do something great!”

“That’s right.”

“Take us, Captain!”

The elite members of the former Buggy Pirates responded one after another, their eyes flashing with fiery fighting spirit and firm belief. Buggy, who once enjoyed searching for treasure, has now grown into a leader they can trust and rely on.
