The Daughter of Darkness

Garp wasn't entirely deceiving anyone.

Due to the unique nature of the Buggy Pirates, they were indeed able to connect with Alvida and others through live streaming.

Of course, given Kuzan's current status, he's still far from being a top star.

At the same time.

The Going Buggy-senpai is heading towards a mysterious sea.

Buggy has been having trouble sleeping lately.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep well, but the shadow of the Admiral's kill order hung over him like a sharp sword; how could he possibly sleep?

Broken into several pieces, lying on the yoga mat like several Salted Fish, Buggy fell into deep despondency.

Yamato, on the other hand, was very happy.

This period of travel was the most interesting time of her life.

With islands of varying styles and people of different customs, Yamato discovers that this world is far more fascinating than what Kozuki Oden recorded in his diary.

Of course, given her personality, she was bound to cause trouble along the way.

It's not that Yamato chivalry and always come to the rescue when they see injustice.

This guy has been on Onigashima for over ten years and has never had such thoughts before.

However, considering her family background and the impact that Kozuki Oden, such a terrible person, had on her, Ma Qiao wasn't surprised.

It's a pity that this beautiful girl with an angelic face and a devilish figure is so alluring.

Along the way Yamato used her big iron rod to hammer away countless lecherous rogues.

Those who harass Teacher Ma's students usually don't have a good ending.

However, the consequence of doing so was that Alvida's bounty skyrocketed from five million Beli to fifty million Beli, making her the undisputed third main force of the Buggy Pirates.

Her cosmetics also sold better.

Many fans have said that they have met Ariel Little from the Buggy Pirates in person and were deeply impressed by her beauty and figure. They said they would be willing to let her hit them with an iron rod even if it meant shortening their lifespan.

Alvida's popularity has skyrocketed, which is one of the reasons why Garp wanted to team up with Kuzan to counter her.

In short, apart from Buggy himself, everyone in the Buggy Pirates has been in a very good mood lately.

It even included his third brother, Galdino.

Galdino realized that Ma Qiao and Buggy truly had no intention of harming him.

Captain Buggy receives millions of Beli in gifts every day, so he doesn't even care about his small bounty.

Moreover, the die is cast; the Navy has already tied Buggy and Third Brother together, and Buggy has no way to sever ties.

Conversely, like a stick trying to catch a wolf, Buggy is afraid of both sides. He can only try to win over Galdino, the notorious pirate with a bounty of 300 million, but dares not offend him.

Otherwise, he might be killed in a firefight before the Marine Admiral even arrives.

And so, one wanted to curry favor with a powerful figure, while the other feared being killed in a bloodbath. These two cunning and treacherous individuals, sharing the same wicked nature, grew closer and closer.

"It's much better than being locked up in Impel Down, isn't it?"

Sipping afternoon tea, Galdino gazed at the calm, azure sea, and a rare, faint pang of conscience stirred within him.

Galdino heard that prisoners sent to Impel Down Impel Down, were boiled in 100-degree water for several minutes, ostensibly for disinfection.

Miss. That little girl probably won't make it through Golden Week.

Galdino took a sip of his black tea and sighed.

"Better to die than to die like my fellow Daoist. If you want to blame someone, blame the Celestial Dragons."

"Huh, what a thick fog!"

At this moment, Galdino noticed that the once azure sea was now shrouded in a dark mist.

He looked up at the sky; the sunlight had been completely blocked, not a single ray could penetrate.

Salted Fish Buggy, who was sunbathing, quickly assembled all his parts.

"Brother Ma Qiao, didn't you say you were looking for a suitable location for filming? This place looks rather eerie. Are you sure it's suitable for filming the great Captain Buggy?"

"Brother Buggy, trust my professional judgment. Treasure is the perfect match for this terrifying environment. I think Buggy might find something unexpected here..."

The Water 7.

Barry is currently riding high on success.

The reason why he's so popular is that Barry, who was never popular before, has recently become very popular with the girls in the bar.

An old man suddenly went from being ignored to being highly sought after; without a doubt, the reason was money.

Barry is currently very well-off.

In fact, as a senior shipwright at the Galley-La shipyard, Barry earned a very good income.

But to say that he could spend lavishly in a bar would be a stretch.

However, Barry recently got a part-time job.

He became an illustrator at Great Bird Anime Club, using his skills to help the website draw some popular comics.

For example, his masterpiece "Single Man’s Little Apartment" broke the reading record of the comic book publishing house.

Although he was only writing based on a script provided by that mysterious writer.

But thanks to Barry's superb drawing skills and his understanding of the psychology of seemingly innocent but actually repressed virgins, the collaboration between the mysterious writer and him achieved a result greater than the sum of its parts.

Paris also received a substantial reward.

Men with money tend to go bad. While Barry may not have gone bad, he certainly visibly straightened his back.

That day, Barry came out of the bar again.

Barry didn't have any writing yesterday; he spent a happy time at the bar with the girls.

Of course, this guy was still all talk and no action, and his brain overloaded after being slightly provoked, causing him to faint. He only woke up now.

I left the tavern and headed towards the dormitory area.

"Hey, Lucci, who are you waiting for?"

As Barry passed by the shipyard gates, he suddenly noticed his old nemesis, Rob Lucci, craning his neck to look at him.

Lucci didn't turn his head, but the pigeon on his shoulder did turn around. "You'd better stand back, the smell of alcohol on you is disgusting!"

Barry rolled up his sleeve and took a deep sniff; there was indeed a very strong smell of alcohol.

"Hmph, alcohol is a man's romance, something a teetotaler like you would never understand!"

"Yes, I don't like drinking, I never drink."

Lucci's pigeon nodded heavily. "If you want to live a few more years, you'd better drink less alcohol!"

"It's all because of you!"

Barry complained:

"You and Kaku took a leave of absence for almost half a year before. During that time, I had to do the work of two people, and I also had to draw comics at night. Without alcohol, I really couldn't keep up... Oh, who are those two girls?"

Just as Barry was loudly complaining about Lucci taking too many days off, two adorable little girls walked over from a distance.

The little girl walking in front was dressed in red with Shanks, holding a tattered teddy bear in her arms, and wearing a cat ear headband.

Aside from her smoky eye makeup giving her a slightly dark look, the little girl was quite adorable.

The little girl following behind the Shanks girl had brown hair, dark eyes, wore a pink sun hat, and carried a drawing board on her back.

"Young lady, are you tourists visiting Water 7? Have you gotten separated from your family? Do you need any help?"

Barry stepped forward with a friendly smile.

These two little girls are so adorable, anyone would be willing to help them.

"You stink, sir!"

However, the Shanks girl leading the group pinched her nose, pulled her "sister" along, bypassed Barry, and rushed into Lucci's arms, revealing a pitiful expression:

"Dad, Dad! How could you abandon us and Mom!"

Barry's eyes widened. "What! Lucci, you're married and have two adorable daughters?"

Rob Lucci tugged at his sleeve and whispered in the little girl's ear, "Miss Annie, what's going on? Didn't Commander Spandam say you were going to play my sister?"

"It's a bit odd that you spent all your savings from the past five years at Galley-La on your sister."

Annie blinked her big, tear-filled eyes, looking pitiful, but the words she spoke made Lucci feel like she was a devil:

"And don't forget, I'm the most talented agent Enies Lobby in eight hundred years!"

That's right. Just six months ago, the title of the most talented agent in Enies Lobby in eight hundred years belonged to Rob Lucci.

However, during this year's spring expansion, a prodigy girl became the most dazzling new star on Enies Lobby with an almost overwhelming talent.

Like Lucci back then, she skipped other Cipher Pol and went straight to CP9, becoming Lucci's partner on equal footing.

"What's wrong, my scumbag father? You don't seem too happy to see your long-lost daughters. Shouldn't you shed a few tears of joy?"

Annie Whisper like a demon.

Lucci's eyes twitched. He was about to refuse when his expression suddenly froze. Then his facial muscles twitched slightly, contorting into a face that looked even uglier than crying.

Barry sighed, "Lucci, it seems you really did something very wrong to that mother and daughter."

"But you don't need to be so sad. From now on, just focus on working hard and raising your two lovely daughters!"

Sad?

I'm not sad at all!

Lucci struggled to suppress his expression of pain. A blazing flame emanated from the little girl's palm, burning Lucci's skin from an angle unseen by others.

"You're a devil! An eight-year-old devil!" Lucci said through gritted teeth in a low voice.

"Thank you for the compliment, your expression is very cute."

Annie clenched her fist, extinguishing the flame instantly. "Then let's wish each other a pleasant cooperation!"

"Oh, by the way, this Little Gold girl is my follower. You and Kaku mustn't bully her!"

The "Little Gold" behind Annie is none other than Miss Goldenweek, a long-lost member of the Baroque Works.

The World Government has a long tradition of selecting slaves from prisoners in Impel Down.

As the most talented CP agent in eight hundred years, Annie also gained the potential to select a slave.

"Little Gold Jinjin, you mustn't cause your father any trouble in the days to come!"

More and more Galley-La employees gathered around to watch.

Annie hugged her teddy bear and, like a little adult, said in a childish voice, "Mommy is dead, we can't lose Daddy too, no, we can't lose Daddy too!"

"What a well-behaved and adorable daughter!"

"Lucci, you're so lucky!"

Lucci's fellow workers offered their congratulations.

Only Kalifa, standing behind the window of the general manager's office in the distance, pushed up her delicate gold-rimmed glasses, a deep sense of apprehension in her eyes.
