Attack

"So, Uncle Oden is dead?"

Buggy's eyes were a little moist, and his Red Nose twitched slightly.

He was a very emotional person. When he went to Loguetown to say goodbye to Roger, Red-Haired only cried silently, but he cried loudly and unrestrainedly.

Kozuki Oden was very popular on the USS Al Jack, and he had a good relationship with both Oden and Shanks.

Hiyori nodded gently.

"I never imagined that the mighty Uncle Oden would lose to that bastard Kaido!"

Buggy leaned back in his chair, took a vicious gulp of his drink, and said, "One day, I'll make that bastard pay!"

"You think you can take it?"

Jack sneered.

"What? You brat!"

Buggy snapped, "Are you looking down on Uncle Buggy?"

"What do you think?" Jack's voice suddenly turned cold.

"..."

Senior Buggy flinched and quickly looked away guiltily.

Jack's bounty wasn't extremely high, but it was still dozens of times greater than his.

They were simply no match for him.

Jack, seeing Buggy's performance, gave a cold laugh with an expression of unsurprised disdain and contempt.

Although he was a former member of Roger Pirates, he was a close friend of Red-Haired, who was known as Emperor Candidate along with Sirius, during their childhood.

But this Buggy the Clown is pitifully weak.

Although he had left the Beasts Pirates, Jack still deeply respected Kaido's strength; it was far beyond what this clown could possibly comprehend.

"Hey, Jack,"

Sirius smiled and said, "We're here as guests, so please don't be so impolite to our hosts."

"That's right, that's right! Who do you think you are, kid!"

Buggy's henchmen swaggered, "Lord Sirius hasn't even spoken, what are you being so arrogant about?"

Jack simply glared at them fiercely, and his menacing aura instantly made these guys tremble and dare not utter a word.

"I just don't like this guy," Jack said.

Despite having followed the Pirate King since she was very young, growing up alongside monsters like Red-Haired, she looks like this now.

Having grown up alongside Sirius Yamato, how much effort did I put in to catch up with those two?

That kind of guy is disgusting.

"Don't say that, it's very rude, Jack."

Sirius chuckled, "What one wants to do and what kind of person one wants to be is one's own business, and has nothing to do with others."

"Of course we don't need to meet other people's expectations of us, right?"

Jack gave a soft hum in response.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Buggy,"

Sirius said apologetically, "My companion said some very rude things."

His sincerity surprised Buggy; this guy was definitely not an ordinary pirate!

Yes, although it's already quite extraordinary now.

"Don't look down on me, kid!"

Buggy grinned. "I'm not that kind of petty guy!"

"Huh? Is that so?" Yamato asked, puzzled. "But haven't you been angry with Shanks for over ten years?"

Buggy was genuinely taken aback.

"It is said that the more a man lacks something, the more he likes to boast about it."

Luo Youyou said softly, "I don't know if it's true or not."

Those bastards!

They're all so annoying!

How come Black Wolf hasn't died of anger after sailing with them for so long?

Buggy was practically gritting his teeth.

Sirius, "Anyway, let's have a feast."

Why?!

Buggy snapped, "How did we suddenly jump to this topic?!"

"Because it's been a long time since we've had a banquet," Sirius said with a smile.

"What kind of logic is that?!"

But the banquet still went ahead anyway.

Although this is an island occupied by all sorts of scum and villains, these guys still need to eat.

So although they are very expensive, the supplies are not actually scarce.

Buggy's men went to buy ingredients, and soon, the banquet began in the dilapidated palace.

After a few drinks, Buggy started standing on the table and talking non-stop about his past.

"Back during the Battle of Et Wol, that guy Golden Lion thought he was invincible with just a few dozen ships, but in the end, we were the winners!"

He recounted that legendary naval battle.

Everyone listened intently.

However, Sirius felt that this guy probably exaggerated a lot in his claims.

"Back then Shanks was so scared that he was hiding behind me, trembling with fear. Of course, I was also struggling to cope, after all, my opponent was one of Golden Lion's subordinates. After taking down five or six of them, I was pretty much exhausted."

Buggy recounted the story vividly, Sirius suppressed a laugh.

Why don't you just say you single-handedly took down the entire Flying Pirates?

"At this point, we also fell into a disadvantageous position."

Buggy's voice was grave as he described in detail the urgency of the battle, drawing everyone's attention and even Jack and Rowe's.

Yamato, Page One, and Bepo clenched their fists the entire time, showing immense worry.

But then a turning point occurred!

Buggy, glass in hand, leaped onto the table and shouted, "The captain is the man chosen by destiny! The world is on our side! The sudden storm has destroyed the Golden Lion's fleet!"

"Oh!!"

Yamato and the others began to cheer.

Sirius sighed, "I really want to meet Roger, and I really want to witness that legendary war myself."

"Salute to the Captain!"

Buggy raised his glass high.

"Respect to Roger!!"

Yamato was the first to respond, raising his glass high as well.

"Respect to Roger!"

Page One and Bepo were also flushed with excitement.

"Kids, it's not time for drinking yet," Luo chuckled, snapping his fingers. "Let's have juice instead."

"Hey!"

Page One looked rather disappointed to find that the wine in his glass had turned into juice.

"So sweet!"

Bepo, on the other hand, was happily sipping his juice.

"Sirius! You drink too!"

Yamato noticed that Sirius hadn't been drinking, so he mischievously pinched Sirius's mouth and poured the rest of his drink into Sirius's mouth.

Sirius rolled his eyes.

Do you think I'm some kind of scrap metal recycler?

Halfway through the banquet, a commotion suddenly arose outside the palace.

"Hiccup~ What's wrong?"

Buggy, who was arm in arm with Bepo and Page One to him and Page One about his glorious past, let out a drunken burp, "It's so noisy outside."

"Let's go out and take a look."

Sirius, "Something very interesting is happening outside."

Together with his companions, and leading the drunken Buggy Pirates out of the palace, Sirius was met with a group of disorganized individuals.

"He's out! Lord Sirius is out!"

Some people shouted excitedly.

"Lord Sirius! We have come to seek refuge with you!" someone cried. "Please accept us!"

"Please allow us to join your ranks!"

This situation seems familiar...

Sirius raised an eyebrow.

An excited crowd had already surged towards them.

The scene was chaotic and incredibly noisy; the smoky atmosphere made it impossible to see anyone in Sirius.

Buggy grinned and said, "That's great, Black Wolf, so many people have come to join you."

"Hehe, they're just some small fry, after all." Although he himself wasn't strong, he was, after all, a former member of the Pirate King's crew.

"Kindness?"

Yamato suddenly frowned, her eyes snapping to a certain figure in the crowd. She pointed, "Sirius! That guy... something's not right!"

"I see."

Sirius nodded, raised his right hand, and casually pointed.

Finger Pistol.
