Chapter 223: The Straw Hat Pirates and Buggy Pirates Arrive

The central square of Rogue Town is also a famous check-in spot in the world of One Piece. At the end of the square, there is an execution platform that looks ordinary and simple.

But now, the check-in holy place that was once crowded with people was no longer deserted, and only two groups of pirates were left confronting each other.

"Damn you Straw Hat brat! Master Buggy will never let you off today!"

A pirate dressed like a clown with a big red nose was waving a scimitar and shouting loudly. He was the famous "big pirate" Buggy the Clown from the East China Sea.

Luffy, who was sitting opposite him, scratched his nose with his hand, a bored expression on his face:
"It's you again, red nose!"

"Asshole! Don't call me red nose!"

"Oh, I get it, red nose!!"

"Listen to me, you damned Straw Hat kid!!"

Even without Nami, the Buggy Pirates still had a grudge against Luffy. Apart from anything else, just seeing the straw hat on Luffy's head made Buggy unable to suppress his anger. It was only natural for the two to conflict.

"It's so boring! Sanji, I want to eat..."

"Just bear with it. I don't think the other party will give us time to cook!"

"Then let Zoro deal with them!"

"Idiot Captain, have you forgotten? That green algae-head just arrived in Rogue Town and has lost his way!"

Luffy and Sanji's conversation about not caring about Buggy the Clown immediately made this "big pirate" extremely angry. He shouted angrily:
"Stop ignoring others!! You arrogant little brats!"

Just as he finished speaking, his hands suddenly broke apart, one hand holding a scimitar, and the other hand holding a dagger flew out.

The scimitar chopped directly at the Straw Hat Boy, and the dagger stabbed at Sanji. These strange moves were enough to cause a great loss to any pirate who had never seen them before.

However, Straw Hat Luffy had already fought with Buggy before and knew that Buggy possessed a special ability to be torn into pieces. He simply lowered his head to avoid Buggy's scimitar, and then swung his fist with a strange angle, hitting Buggy's hand holding the scimitar, knocking the scimitar directly to the ground.

The unfortunate Sanji was obviously not mentally prepared. He was a little stunned at first, but when he reacted, he was a little late to dodge, and the dagger directly cut his shoulder, leaving a bloody wound.

"What the hell is this! Is this guy some kind of devilish cyborg? How can his arms be split?"

"Idiot, I'm not a cyborg. I'm a cyborg who ate the Fission Fruit! I have the ability to split into pieces!"

"Oh yeah! You don't even know this, Sanji, you're such a loser!"

Luffy raised his head, showing an expression that said don't make a fuss, and spoke to Sanji in the same way.

Sanji: (￣ヘ￣#)
"Idiot Captain, you should have told me this earlier!!"

"Huh!? Didn't I tell you?!"

"What the hell did you say!! You damn rubber head!"

"Damn you Straw Hat Pirates! There should be a limit to how much you can look down on others!"

Being ignored again, Buggy was extremely angry. He put his hands back on his arms, and then the pirate took out a few small red shells from his arms and threw them at the two men.

Even though Luffy and Sanji were arguing, when Buggy threw his shells, the two of them sensed the danger and reacted immediately.

Sanji kicked out, using all his strength to kick the cannonball that was hitting him away. The cannonball was kicked into the air by him, making a loud bang, just like a bomb exploding.

Luffy took a long breath and quickly turned into a fat man, blocking the cannonball.

The shells hit Luffy the ball as if they were hitting a trampoline, sinking deeply into it, and then bounced back with a whoosh.

“Oops, that’s bad.”

Seeing the bouncing shells, Buggy opened his eyes wide, his mouth opened so wide that even his red nose popped out, and he made a nervous and terrified expression. Then, with a loud bang, the unlucky man was blown into a charred ball, with his arms, thighs and head scattered all over the ground.

"Wow, how pitiful! It was blown into pieces!"

Luffy saw Buggy's head falling in front of him, and with a look of sympathy on his face, he picked it up. Then he saw the charred Buggy's head open its mouth and curse loudly:
"Asshole, isn't this all because of you?! What are you doing here pretending to be so hypocritical?"

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! The brain, the brain is talking!!”

Luffy screamed in fright and threw the head in his hand away. Sanji raised one foot, caught the "ball" successfully, and directly suppressed Buggy's head under his right foot.

"Idiot Captain! Have you forgotten that he is the user of the Four-Split Fruit? He can talk even if his head is missing. Isn't that normal for him?"

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!"

Luffy stretched out a hand and placed it on his palm, as if he suddenly remembered this setting.

At this time, the bits and pieces of Buggy the Clown also rolled over, gathered under his head, and quickly formed his body.

"Curl your eyebrows, take your stinky feet away now!!"

"What are you talking about, you red-nosed idiot, don't you know what politeness is?"

Sanji said something lightly, but instead of taking his foot away, he stepped on it even harder, causing Buggy the Clown to scream in pain.

"Oh no, Captain Buggy has been captured, what should we do? Should we go rescue him?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Even Captain Buggy is no match for them. If we go up there, won't we just be killed?"

"What should we do? How about... let's run!"

"Uh... isn't that a bit bad? Just abandoning the captain and running away..."

Just as the group was discussing, thick smoke suddenly drifted over, and after a moment, it condensed into a strong man with white hair. "Straw Hat Pirates, and Buggy Pirates! You are all under arrest!"

As soon as Smoker finished speaking, the sound of orderly footsteps was heard all around. A large group of navy soldiers had surrounded the entire square, with their guns pointed at the center of the square and all the members of the two pirate groups.

At the moment, only Luffy and Sanji were present from the Straw Hat Pirates, but all the members of the Buggy Pirates were there. However, when the members of the Buggy Pirates saw that they were surrounded, they were so panicked that they almost raised their hands in surrender.

"Oh no, oh no, it's that White Hunter Smoker!!"

"What! Is it the monster who has guarded Rogue Town for three years and no pirate has ever escaped from his pursuit?!"

"It's over, there's no chance of winning!"

On the other side, Luffy glanced at the navy surrounding him and scratched his head:

"We're surrounded again. There's nothing we can do! It looks like we can only use that one trick to escape!"

"That trick? Captain, what means of escape do you have? Use it quickly! Otherwise, it may be too late."

Sanji looked around and frowned as well. Although his strength was not enough to stop ordinary marines, he was not invulnerable to swords and guns. Those marines could still cause trouble to him.

As for the White Hunter Smoker, Sanji also has some understanding. This user of the Nature Fruit ability is not someone who can be dealt with by a guy like him who relies on physical attacks for a living.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

The next moment after Luffy finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out an arm and wrapped Sanji tightly.

It was not clear what kind of trick this was. Sanji, who was about to ride Luffy's roller coaster for the first time, showed a little curiosity.

Then, Luffy's other hand stretched out and grabbed a clock tower in the distance.

Whoosh! ! !
With the help of the Straw Hat slingshot, Luffy and Sanji flew out just like Spider-Man, but Luffy in the air had an excited look on his face, while Sanji opened his mouth wide, his face trembling, and was directly stunned by this move.

"Perfect landing!"

Luffy somersaulted in the air and stood on the clock tower easily. The unlucky Sanji was caught off guard and bumped headfirst into the bronze bell inside the clock tower. With a series of clanging sounds, he stuck to the surface of the bronze bell and slowly fell down.

Then, Sanji, feeling dizzy, raised his head and looked at Luffy with a bored expression:

"You...idiot captain!!!"

On the other hand, Smoker in the center of the square sneered at Luffy and Sanji who were running away:
"Do you think you can get away like this? Tashigi, I'll leave these pirates to you. I'll go catch those two guys!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker turned into a ball of smoke, soared into the sky, and flew towards Luffy and Sanji on the clock tower.

"Got it, sir! Everyone, get started and capture all these guys!"

Tashigi looked at the Buggy Pirates who had almost lost the will to resist, and she didn't think the task was that difficult. She gave the order directly, and a group of navy men immediately handcuffed and arrested all the members of the Buggy Pirates.

When it was Buggy's turn, this guy seemed very honest, but his eyes were rolling around. Seeing this, Dashigi said:

"Don't use ordinary handcuffs. This guy is a devil fruit user. Use seastone handcuffs!"

When he heard the words "seastone handcuffs", Bucky's face suddenly changed and he shouted:
“How could I be caught so easily by you? I’m the great pirate Buggy! Just wait till you guys come to me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bucky's body twisted and produced a series of strange deformations, and finally turned into a racing car. He pushed the front wheels with his hands and pedaled the rear wheels with his feet, and rushed out whoosh.

"It's not that easy to escape!"

Tashigi chopped down with her knife without saying a word. She knew that Buggy was the user of the Split-Into-Fragmentation Fruit, so the knife was not aimed at Buggy's body, but at his wheels instead.

Unexpectedly, Buggy threw a handful of small bombs with his backhand. With a loud bang, the whole square was suddenly in chaos. Tashigi took a few steps back and by the time she reacted, this cunning and lucky guy had already escaped without a trace.

Not only that, because of the chaos caused by the bomb, the Buggy Pirates, who had been captured, seemed to have found an opportunity and dispersed, trying to take the opportunity to escape.

A hint of anger flashed in Tashigi's eyes, and the Sayo Shigure in her hand turned into a series of sword lights. Accompanied by a scream, the poor member of the Buggy Pirates was chopped to the ground by this female sergeant in the navy.

Don't be fooled by Tashigi's recklessness and seemingly lack of strength. In fact, this girl will be able to cultivate to the level of possessing dual-color domineering in two years. It can be imagined that her current foundation is definitely not bad, and her actual strength is not inferior to some big pirates worth tens of millions.

He just looks weak because of his personality and behavior. However, he is more than capable of dealing with these ordinary pirates.

"Catch these guys and put them in the navy prison. Two fast marines, come with me and chase that damn clown Buggy!"

After giving the order, Tashigi took a few navy men and chased in the direction of Buggy the Clown. As for the rest of the navy men, they took Buggy's men to the prison in the Rogue Town Naval Base.

The once bustling execution square in Rogue Town had now become deserted. Only a weak, helpless, and greedy lion was left, lying there with its hands on its head.

Well, this is exactly the lion left behind by the trainer of the Buggy Pirates. Because there was no bounty on it and it was not a human, the navy didn't know whether it was suffering from a brain disease or not, and simply ignored the lion lying there.

After a moment, the lion put down the two paws on its head, looked around cautiously, but found that there seemed to be no one in the square, and a human-like expression of joy suddenly appeared on its face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, some of the animals in this world are really intelligent, almost as smart as humans!"

Hearing the voice behind him, the lion, which had originally shown a happy expression, froze. Then the expression on his face restrained and became the same as that of an ordinary lion, and he even let out two loud "wooooo" sounds.

After roaring, the lion turned its head and looked at the people behind it, revealing a threatening expression again, looking like an ordinary wild beast.

"Hehehe... Are you playing dumb in front of me? Ordinary lions can't really be considered members of a pirate group, but since you've appeared in the town, in order to prevent the civilians from getting hurt, I'll have no choice but to kill you with one punch! It just so happens that I'm short of a lion skin rug..."

As soon as the words came out, the lion slid to its knees on the ground without saying a word and immediately knelt down.

"Hehehe, Feiyu, this guy is so funny!"

A clear female voice was heard, and the lion named Li Ji quietly raised his head and saw a pretty girl with orange hair and a young man who looked quite ordinary. They were Nami and Uchiha Feiyu.
