Poor Buggy

"Dead yet? Dead yet?" He casually picked up a twig and poked Buggy's Red Nose, "Hey, Red Nose, Big Nose, wake up yet?"

"You little punk, who are you calling Red Nose? Looking for death, aren't you?" Hearing "Red Nose," Buggy reacted as if by conditioned reflex, overcoming his unforgettable pain, forcibly standing up, full of bluster.

Buggy couldn't stand others calling him Red Nose, even if he was in a deep coma, he would forcibly wake up, a very peculiar setting.

After a brief moment of anger, reason regained control of his brain, and the two stared at each other.

Rodney: (─__─)

Buggy: -_-#

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, the scene very awkward.

"Chop Chop Fruit · Emergency Escape!"

Buggy's body suddenly turned into dozens of pieces, flying in all directions.

Not far after flying out, he reassembled his body in the forest, floating in the air, but without two feet.

"My feet!" He saw his two feet through the gaps in the leaves, being stepped on by Rodney.

This was troublesome, his Chop Chop Fruit ability had a weakness in his feet, he couldn't fly, and his body couldn't be too far from his feet.

"Hmph, luckily this great one's ability is invincible here." Immune to slashes, he didn't have to worry about what would happen to his feet, now he just needed to find a way to get his feet back, and rescue his crew.

Although he often bullied his crew, Buggy still valued them quite a bit.

As for Rodney's side, Rodney looked at the two feet he was stepping on, and grinned, knowing that cutting wouldn't work on him, he didn't choose to use Ninjutsu again, pointed at the remaining crew members with his hand, and said, "Carry the unconscious people back to the ship for me, and then…"

He looked back at Buggy in the forest, grinning in a way that seemed very unfriendly to Buggy.

"Just what is this guy's background?"

Buggy hadn't remembered the information about Rodney yet, but he knew this guy was not to be trifled with, and decided to wait and see.

Under Rodney's threat, his crew could only obediently carry a group of unconscious guys onto their pirate ship.

As for his two feet, they were still being stepped on by Rodney, and it was clear that this guy wasn't planning on letting him go, which made Buggy very annoyed.

"Damn it, are you not planning on leaving?"

The feeling of having his feet stepped on was very unpleasant.

At this time, Rodney moved, kicking one foot at a time, kicking Buggy's feet along, and finally kicking those feet onto the pirate ship.

"Not good! Wait…" Buggy's body couldn't control itself, following along in flight, any part of his body could be missing, but he had to have his feet.

"Set sail."

Rodney said.

Fearing Rodney's power, Buggy's pirates had no choice but to set sail, a group of people cursing in their hearts, but on the surface, they didn't dare to show anything.

Buggy hung behind the ship, and taking advantage of Rodney's inattention, he quietly boarded the ship.

"What's the situation now?" Buggy asked a crew member on the ship.

"I don't know, Captain, this guy just told us to set sail, heading towards the nearest Marines branch, what should we do? Captain Buggy?" the crew member asked.

The peak of the Buggy Pirates' fighting strength was Buggy, because he was a Devil Fruit user, and in the East Blue, there were very few Devil Fruit users, and they had always listened to their boss's words.

Buggy pondered for a while, and said, "Let me think, let me think carefully, but you have to go and steal this great one's feet back first."

He had to steal his feet back, otherwise his ability would be restricted.

"Is it this?" A hand reached over from the side, handing over two feet.

Without thinking, Buggy took them, smiling and saying, "Yoshi, that's right, that's it, well done, kid, I'll make you the vice-captai…" After attaching his feet, Buggy smiled and met a pair of red eyes.

Buggy: (⊙x⊙;)

"Hello, Captain Buggy."

"You kid… those eyes, I remember now, you're the recently rising Bounty Hunter, Red-Eyed Rodney?!" Buggy shouted the nickname that Rodney didn't want to acknowledge, "You bastard, have you been targeting this great one? Damn it!"

Rodney's forehead veins bulged, but he still wore a smile on his face, "Captain Buggy, call me Fate Weaver Rodney, I wasn't planning on catching you, but now it looks like I'll have to send you all to Loguetown, the town of beginnings and ends, it suits you, right, Buggy?"

Buggy's body trembled, cold sweat flowing down his forehead, and said, "You, could it be that you…"

"Alas, I have a special intelligence system, I know your identity very well."

"You, what do you want?" His identity as a former member of the Pirate King's crew must not be exposed, otherwise it would attract a group of Marines, which would not be good, his ability was not comparable to those people.

Rodney smiled slightly, "Just like this."

He punched over, knocking Buggy to the ground, just as Buggy was about to use his Chop Chop Fruit ability, he felt a chill on his wrist, and then his whole body felt weak, on the ground.

"This… this could it be…"

"Yes, that's right, Seastone handcuffs, don't even think about leaving, I'll send you one by one to Loguetown." He glanced at the crew members who were eating melons on the side, and said, "What are you looking at? Aren't you going to set sail? If you don't set sail, I'll let you go down and feed the Sea Kings!"

"Yes, yes!" The crew members hurried away.

"Well, the scenery here is not bad, you can stay here." He turned his back to Buggy and left.

His body didn't have much strength, but that didn't mean Buggy didn't have a backup plan.

Seeing Rodney turn his back to him, he pointed his feet at him: "Special Buggy Ball!"

A candy-sized cannonball shot from his foot, flying towards Rodney at top speed.

Rodney hurriedly turned around, White Fang unsheathed, lightning Chakra infused into it.

He sliced the Special Buggy Ball in half with a single strike.

BOOM!

Even after being cut open by Rodney, the Special Buggy Ball still exploded, the violent destructive force blasting him away. Buggy laughed heartily, "Hahaha, after taking my Special Buggy Ball, you must be done for, right?!"

Rodney's body flew off the pirate ship, but instead of falling into the deep sea as expected, he skipped across the surface like a flat stone, bouncing several times before stopping on the water.

His clothes were tattered, many parts of his skin were burned, his face was blackened, and a bit of his bangs were singed off by the flames.

Buggy: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

"This monster! He actually survived a direct hit from my Special Buggy Ball?!"

Rodney: (╬ ￣?皿￣? ╬)

Being stared at by blood-red Sharingan, Buggy felt his end was near. What to do?

Am I going to see Captain Roger soon?

No way, I haven't found those treasures yet!

He was now regretting using the Special Buggy Ball on Rodney.

"Very well, you're very good, Buggy!" Rodney said through gritted teeth. His body was in great pain. Medical Chakra lit up in his palm, stimulating cell regeneration, and a cool sensation spread from the wound.

"Y-you, what do you want?! D-don't come any closer!!"

Buggy retreated repeatedly, but Rodney grabbed him, pulled out a steel wire from his pouch. This steel wire was specially made, extremely tough. Unless cut, it was generally impossible to break by pulling.

One end was tied to a Seastone handcuff, and the other to a railing on the side.

"Wait, you wouldn't be thinking..."

"Exactly what you're thinking." He kicked Buggy off the pirate ship, dragging him across the sea surface.

"I, glub glub... I glub glub... wai- glub glub..." Buggy was dragged by the pirate ship, floating to the surface one moment and sinking the next, his body weak and his ability unusable, feeling extremely stifled.

"Haul this guy up every half hour, he won't die. If you don't do as I say, or if you bring him up and I find out, you can wait to end up like him." Rodney grinned at the surrounding pirates, sending shivers down their spines.

"Understood!"

Poor Captain Buggy, please endure it a little longer.

Thus, Buggy spent all his time in the sea except for eating and sleeping. It was only because of his constitution that he didn't kick the bucket. An ordinary person might have died.

And Rodney was really careless this time, he didn't expect Buggy to have a backup plan, it hurt like hell.

It took him several days to repair the burns on his body, but his hair needed to be grown out again.
