Garo, Myriad Elegance Tower.
This should be the tallest building in Garo, but it looks like there is no construction on the top of the tower yet.
In other words, this tower has been delayed for nearly a year for various reasons and is not intended to be completed. It is just to hide the true purpose of Diderot inside.
The wall outside the tower has not been painted, has no color, and has not been decorated with any embellishments. It looks very plain and unpretentious, which does not match the word "Wanxiu" in the name of the tower.
Buggy is looking at the front of the tower at this time. This tower is nearly 100 meters high. It should be considered unique in Pirate King's world.
He knew that Alex had evil intentions and lured him to Myriad Elegance Tower. The probably purpose was One-Eye Hotel, although he didn't know that Alex was plotting something with One-Eye Hotel!
However, based on the analysis of the information in the Den Den Mushi call just now, it is indeed a good thing One-Eye Family did to kidnap Kaya. Therefore, regardless of whether Kaya is in Pet Company Whether in, this Myriad Elegance Tower, or other places, Buggy must come here to find One-Eye Hotel, because the moment the other party takes action, it means that war has been declared!
As a captain, he must accept this challenge. If even the captain shrinks, how can his crew find the way forward in the confusing sea? How can they trust and back them?
It is the captain's responsibility to confirm the direction of progress and shoulder everyone's trust. This responsibility cannot be relieved by Buggy.
Buggy walked up to Myriad Elegance Tower's door. This super large iron door was about five meters long and three meters wide. It probably weighed several tons. He stretched out his arm and pushed it inward.
squeak--
The huge tower door was pushed and made an old and heavy sound. The door leaf kept moving inward, and finally made a steady sound of "Gela".
The light shines into the somewhat dim tower, illuminating the dust flying in the air. You can see light green moss growing on the walls and stone slabs. It must be that no one has been here for a long time.
The first floor of Myriad Elegance Tower is very high, the ceiling is at least ten meters above, and the venue is very large, so the whole space looks very empty, except for intermittent ghostly sounds coming from the darker inside.
This voice...
Buggy walked inside, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to the somewhat familiar voice. His melody was not very good, but his memory was not bad. He heard this familiar melody in Xiana Weisen had heard the songs sung by those hula girls. According to Alex's explanation, this kind of singing was used to control Deep-Sea Warmwind Cluster Shells. At this time, the singing sounded more impatient and changed the tone faster.
After walking for a while, a subtle light could finally be seen in the distance, and the intermittent singing could gradually be heard clearly.
Buggy got closer and closer, and finally stopped. He had already seen the source of the light, which was shining from a deep and invisible hole. Countless small bugs like fireflies were spinning and flying below the entrance of the hole, emitting pale golden light. The light of a small bug was not obvious, but the light shining from groups of small bugs could illuminate the vertical ceiling.
And on the ceiling, there was a huge iron cage hanging, with dozens of women locked inside, and this song was sung in chorus from their mouths.
Myriad Elegance Tower There is a light-transmitting hole every five meters high on the wall. Although it cannot provide strong light, you can still see the surrounding environment and situation.
"Pirate Buggy? You actually found this place..."
Finally, a very old-sounding voice came over, and a middle-aged man in red robe walked over, and the light radiating from the cave pulled out a long shadow from his figure.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Buggy was shocked, frowned and asked, "Are you Diderot?"
Diderot smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the shiny hole in the ground, "Yes, I am the person in charge of the entire One-Eye Family and the finance minister of Santansidi. I have abandoned my past name. Now, this is my only name."
Buggy said with twinkling eyes, "I think you have another name, Frog Elder?"
"Oh? You have good eyesight, and you can recognize me." Diderot looked at Buggy with a half-smile, "Sometimes, I will go to Xiana Weisen myself to observe and select capable pirates. Of course, I need a new identity, but usually a substitute who looks similar to me serves as a guide. Work, in fact, on the first day you came to Xiana Weisen, I personally played the role of an elder to receive you and observe you, and at the same time let Benson who came with me recruit you. However, it was unfortunate that because of this Myriad Elegance Tower, I left Xiana Weisen on the second day..."
He looked at Buggy's contemplative look and held out a hand. "Since you can come here alone, it means that you do have some abilities. Buggy the Clown, join my pirate group. In this case, I can forget all the things you did in Xiana Weisen. If you follow my pirate ship, you will be able to see a whole new world!!"
Buggy did not answer the other party, but asked, "Is it because I didn't agree to your request in Xiana Weisen that you would arrest my crew and use it to blackmail me?"
"Oh... that's what you're talking about..." Diderot said calmly, "It's just a prank played by one of my subordinates. After you rejected my request, I have given up soliciting you. After all, One-Eye Family is not a piece of candy. Pirates like you who are like crucian carp crossing the river want to have as much as you want, so naturally they will not do it for you. A person deliberately does boring things, but you made such a big noise in Xiana Weisen and had the courage to come to Garo, which makes me look at you with admiration. Now that you dare to come to Myriad Elegance Tower alone, you are already stronger than most pirates. Now... I can give you a chance to surrender to me!"
Buggy processed the information from Diderot in his mind, and finally a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Submit to you? Who do you think you are?"
Diderot's face turned slightly cold, "There are too many arrogant, ignorant and fearless pirates in this world, and they cannot learn to respect and fear others. Since I can become a powerful person here and play and applaud this country, I naturally have my management and ideas. What qualifications do you have to deny everything I have done? Buggy the Clown!!"
"Tempest Kick. Moon White Jade!!"
Buggy's right foot separated and spun several times, and a disk-shaped white slashing air flow flew out, flying in front of Diderot in the blink of an eye.
Diderot stretched out his hand to block it. This slashing airflow, which could leave deep marks on the red bamboo as hard as metal, left a shallow wound on his palm. However, he was still knocked back more than ten steps by the huge impact of Moon White Jade. He stopped and looked at his palm in surprise, "You can actually break my Armament Haki!"
Buggy narrowed his eyes slightly. "You asked me what qualifications I have? This is my qualification!!"
He said this with his mouth, but in his heart he had to take his evaluation to a higher level. This Diderot... could actually Haki!!
In the first half of Grand Line, few people were able to master Haki. It is indeed a great ruthless person to be able to create a leader of such a huge force!
"It's really been a long time since I've been injured..." Diderot's eyes finally moved from the wound on his hand to Buggy, with a rather complicated expression, as if he felt remorse and self-blame for his carelessness, "I thought I was cautious enough, but I still underestimated you..."
Buggy smiled slyly, "It was just an appetizer, now the fun is about to begin!"
"Okay... very good. Ten years ago, a pirate blinded one of my eyes. Today, ten years later, another pirate wants to challenge me. However, I will not repeat the same mistake. I will eliminate you, the little brat, without any mercy..."
Diderot's face began to look ferocious, and the red robe he was wearing swelled little by little, and then numerous cracks began to appear in his clothes, which suddenly exploded, revealing a disgusting brown skin, with countless liquids stained on the mucous membranes of the skin., his face also began to swell like a filled balloon, and the shape of his face also changed. The cheeks on the left and right began to swell, and his two eyes kept moving upward. He looked like a toad, but what was a little strange was that there were three willow-leaf-like manes on the back of his head.
Diderot's eyes were fixed on Buggy, "Let you see the power of Devil Fruit Zoan Ancient Zoan, Blade Toad!"
Buggy took off his coat, threw it into the coat together with Den Den Mushi, and placed it in a far corner. He picked up Jitte, which was strapped behind his back, and was ready to fight.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind Diderot.
Bang!!
The sound of metal breaking came from behind Derode's huge body. He turned around quickly. His seemingly clumsy body turned around very quickly, and he faced the person behind him in the blink of an eye.
The joy on the face of the person behind him who had succeeded in the sneak attack instantly turned into astonishment. He staggered back, looked at the broken knife in his hand, and murmured unwillingly, "How could... how could it have no effect..."
Diderot's eyes became sharp, but his expression could no longer be seen on the animal-like face. The thin and long tongue in his mouth was like a sharp arrow and was thrown at the man, tightly entangled the man's hands, feet and body, unable to move.
"You are Endi, the captain of Jackal Pirates... why are you here?!"
Endi's body at this time has also turned into the appearance of a Zoan jackal. Zoan Devil Fruit itself will provide him with power above ordinary people. However, facing Diderot at this time, he cannot break free. On the contrary, the more he struggles, the tighter his body becomes. All the bones in his body seem to be crushed by this huge squeezing force.
This kind of pain finally made him clearly realize how terrifying the person in front of him was also Zoan Devil Fruit!
"Yes, it was the swordsman who asked me to come and assassinate you... He, he said, as long as I kill you, he will give me the red pill..."
In the tower where the view was not so good, Diderot's toad-shaped cheeks and body looked even more terrifying to Endi, almost like a hell creature in a fairy tale. The suffocation and severe pain on his body made him say all the words at once.
"It's him..." Anger flashed in Diderot's eyes, and then the three willow-leaf-like manes on the back of his head automatically swung forward and cut off Endi's entire head. Immediately, blood spurted out from the headless corpse like spring water, which looked even weirder in the golden light cast by the hole.
Captain Jackal Pirates, who has a bounty of 30 million, Endi, in the hands of Diderot, is like a child in the hands of an adult. Although they are both Zoan, there is a huge difference between the two. You can imagine how amazing the power of this One-Eye Hotel is!
Buggy has been looking for Diderot's flaws, but he found that even though Diderot's back was turned to him, he never relaxed the defense behind him. The swelling on his body made Buggy unable to find any chance at all. In other words, there was a lot of caution hidden in this person's character.
"I finally know..." Diderot threw Endi's body away like trash and said with a cold face, "Who did all this good deeds? Alex, it's really good..."
He turned to look at Buggy, "You were also attracted by Alex, right?"
Buggy responded, "You are also my target. Since you allow your subordinates to capture my crew, there is naturally no room for negotiation between us..."
"Then you and this stupid wolf should die together!!"
After saying that, the tongue in Diderot's mouth shot towards Buggy like a horse, and there was a low explosive sound in the air, which shows how terrifying its speed is!
"Tempest Kick. Moon White Jade!"
This is the most powerful kick among Tempest Kick that Buggy can currently use. It is darker in color than the ordinary light white slashing airflow, and the slashing blow is sharper. Therefore, he was able to break the Armament Haki in Diderot's hands just now. At this moment, he hit Diderot without any hesitation.
Diderot's tongue is very flexible. At this time, it can actually change its trajectory in the air. The moment it hits the slashing airflow, the tongue bends upward like a wave to avoid it. When it stabs Buggy, his entire toad body also jumps into the air, concentrating all the power of the body on the tip of the tongue.
On the contrary, Buggy had no time to make too many moves, so he had to block it with one hand in front of him, and the other hand held Jitte's left hand in preparation. Once the opponent came close, he would use Seastone on Jitte to contain the opponent.
But Diderot's tongue was still too fast. The moment it hit Buggy, a ring spread out in the air and was dyed golden by the light in the hole.
Buggy's body was suddenly like a cannonball, and was directly hit hard by the force from above. The strata were destroyed layer by layer, and he was knocked deeper into the ground. After sinking crazily for nearly ten meters, his body finally stopped and got stuck in the ground.
Diderot fell to the ground, and the surrounding dust suddenly filled the air. Even the ground sank slightly because of his huge body. He retracted his tongue, looked at the big hole made by Buggy, and snorted coldly, "Is this the power of pirates in the new era... nothing more than that!"
