Mohji, the Trouble-Maker King!

The Kuja Pirates' Snake Ship was not as fast as when Buggy and his crew arrived in Rusukaina, not even half as fast. This was because the Snake Ship was huge, and Buggy and his crew were rowing at full speed back then. Even a light warship couldn't match the Snake Ship's speed.

Even at this pace, it wouldn't take more than two days to reach Sabaody Archipelago.

Once aboard, the group predictably didn't receive any special treatment. Since the ship was mostly made up of women, the Pirate Empress didn't offer any extra rooms, only a storage room for miscellaneous items. Buggy naturally refused, choosing to stay comfortably on the deck.

Shuma was oblivious to his surroundings, running around the ship with boundless energy, forcing the Kuja warriors to keep a close eye on him. They were even worried that Shuma might cause trouble on the ship, so the warrior Rindou warned Buggy to keep an eye on his subordinates!

Buggy gave a few perfunctory replies, thinking to himself that it would be good for Shuma to make a scene, to let them know that even if they were on a boat, it didn't mean they could be manipulated at will.

However, during the time they were on the boat, Shuma didn't cause any trouble; it was Mohji who made a fuss.

The story begins two hours earlier...

The longbow carried on the back of the Kuja Warriors is actually a type of python that grows on Amazon Lily; it is less a weapon and more a partner in their battles.

After the Kuja Warriors placed these "bow snakes" from their bodies into the room, they unexpectedly slithered onto the deck and hissed, flicking their tongues at Mohji, who was sitting on the deck.

However, instead of stopping this situation, the Kuja warriors were ready to watch a good show. Even Boa Hancock, sitting on the upper deck, showed an interested expression. She originally wanted to use some tricks to make things difficult for Buggy and the others, but before she could make up her mind, trouble had already come knocking. Whether it was the Red Nose, the white-haired guy, or another idiot troublemaker, as long as she could humiliate and torment them, she would feel a sense of satisfaction.

But what happened next was far beyond everyone's expectations. This animal trainer, who had a unique affinity for animals, was not only able to tame lions, but also had his own unique methods for dealing with snakes!

Mohji, like a snake, writhed and hissed on the deck. After a few minutes, it actually began to communicate with the group of bow-shaped snakes and they became one of them!

The Kuja Warrior's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "He can't be a goat, can he...? How can a goat communicate with snakes?!"

"This guy is definitely a humanoid mutant snake!"

Even Boa Hancock's eyes flashed with disbelief. The serpents native to the Amazon Lily were never friendly to outsiders, yet this white-haired man was able to frolic with the snakes...

This pirate crew, which was said to consist of only seven or eight people, not only had a captain with considerable strength, but its subordinates also possessed mysterious powers. Boa Hancock suddenly began to take these people in front of her seriously. She beckoned to Sandersonia beside her and then whispered a few words to the latter.

Buggy glanced at the astonished expression on the Kuja Warrior's face, then at Mohji writhing like a snake, and his lips twitched slightly. "Hmm... why does everyone look so surprised? Am I the only one who feels ashamed...?"

Of course, these Kuja female warriors would not allow Bow Snake to get close to a stranger, especially a strange man, and they quickly blew their whistles to send Bow Snake back to his room.

According to the Kuja Warriors, Mohji possessed the aura of a wild beast, which caused the bow snakes to believe that their territory had been invaded. Therefore, they wanted to intimidate and force Mohji to leave.

Buggy wasn't sure if Boa Hancock was the one who started this whole thing, but after things calmed down, he thought she wouldn't do anything for a while. But he was wrong, and then something strange happened!

Following Boa Hancock's instructions, Sandersonia approaches Mohji, hoping to extract information from him and sow discord between him and Buggy, creating a rift and internal conflict between them.

However, Mohji not only can communicate with the bow snake, but also knows very well the habits of the black panther that Sandersonia tamed and kept by her side.

Before Sandersonia could speak, Mohji's gaze swept over the black panther, and he began to talk enthusiastically about the panther's habits, diet, and usual routines. He even managed to give the female panther a gentle head pat without any resistance, which also attracted Sandersonia's attention.

So the two of them started chatting about the pet. Although Mohji didn't seem particularly shrewd on a regular basis, once it came to his area of expertise, his enthusiasm was higher than anyone else's, and he would launch into long, rambling monologues with spittle flying everywhere.

Sandersonia usually only knew how to fight, kill, burn, and plunder, had never been exposed to raising pets and had so much knowledge about them. She was very interested in the animal training knowledge that the other party was talking about, and she immediately forgot her original intention and listened to Mohji's speech with great interest.

The two had been talking for over an hour without realizing it...

Rewind to the present, and the two are still standing on the edge of the secluded deck, talking animatedly.

Buggy, sitting on the deck, couldn't help but glance back at Mohji. He wasn't quite sure what Sandersonia was up to, but so far, Mohji had been doing all the talking... Hmm, hopefully nothing will go wrong...

"Ahem... Lantern Flower!" Boa Marigold, standing on the upper deck, coughed, bringing Sandersonia back to her senses. She looked at Mohji with lingering interest. "The Marigold is calling me... Excuse me!"

"Haha--" Mohji laughed heartily, hands on his hips, "It's alright, I, Grandpa Mohji, haven't had such a pleasant chat in a long time!"

When Sandersonia reached the upper deck, she suddenly realized that she hadn't yet carried out the task Boa Hancock had entrusted to her.

Meanwhile, Boa Hancock, due to the sea breeze outside, returned to her bedroom in the ship's cabin, leaving the matter entirely to Boa Marigold. At that moment, Boa Marigold quickly pulled Boa Sandersonia aside. "Lantern Flower, it seems things are going very smoothly!"

"I..." Sandersonia stammered, "I... failed."

"How could it have failed..." Boa Marigold asked, puzzled. "You and that white-haired guy talked for a long time!"

Sandersonia also made no attempt to hide anything, truthfully recounting the conversation that had just taken place.

Boa Marigold said, "It seems that white-haired guy isn't as easy to deal with as he appears... But it's alright, you should have gained his trust this time, and next time... you'll be able to complete your sister's plan!"

While the two Boa sisters were still discussing things, Buggy, sitting on the deck, spotted the News Coo in the distance and quickly waved to it.

The ship had already left the Calm Belt half an hour ago, which is why the News Coo were spotted on the sea.

The News Coo flapped its wings and landed on the ship's railing. Buggy took out 100 Beli and stuffed them into the News Coo's pouch, while also taking out a newspaper. Then the News Coo spread its wings and flew away again.

Buggy opened the newspaper and flipped through the pages one by one to see if there were any Big News Morgans recently. However, after flipping through several pages, all he saw were news about various national festivals and celebrations or various pirate raids around the world. The only thing that could attract attention was that the Revolutionary Army had recently turned against the government of a country in the South Blue, which was also severely criticized by the writer.

As he was reading the news, a wanted poster suddenly fell out from the newspaper's inner compartment. Buggy didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw the photo on the poster, he immediately reached out and grabbed the poster, which had almost fallen into the sea, and solemnly spread it out on the ground.

It was him, someone who shouldn't have been there...

Behind her were four large magatama drums, a white headscarf covered her forehead, her earlobes reached down to her chest, her eyes were full of gloom, and she pointed her finger as if she were pointing at the person who captured this moment.

[Enel]

The reward is 95 million, regardless of life or death.

However, this bounty poster is not for pirates, but for terrorists!

Buggy turned to the page in the newspaper containing the bounty poster and carefully read the news. It turned out that Enel had attacked a Marine Base on the Grand Line and caused heavy casualties among the navy. Because his Ark Maxim did not have the insignia of a pirate flag, he was classified as a terrorist by the navy. However, the navy's information on Enel was completely blank. It was only because he revealed his name during the attack that the navy did not publish a bounty poster without even a name.

"Enel, the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit..."

Buggy stared at the bounty poster before him, pondering slowly. Was it really the butterfly effect caused by his time travel...? If the original story had unfolded as it should have, this guy should have gone to the moon on the Ark and built a robot army, but now he'd appeared in the Blue Sea, and his first bounty was a staggering 95 million...

Does Enel's appearance also mean that there will be more uncertainties in the future...?

No, the variables arose the moment I transmigrated here. A slight error can lead to a huge difference. The timeline of this world changed two years ago. Even if the trajectory has completely deviated, it's understandable. Now is not the time to dwell on this...

Buggy pushed the question out of his mind and continued thinking, "Since Enel has arrived in the Blue Sea, it means Luffy is probably already in Water 7. If that's the case, it means Ace has already fought Blackbeard and been arrested. So... the Navy should already be preparing for the Marineford War. In about a month, news of Ace's execution should spread... If you think about it, the timeline is really tight..."

"What's wrong, Buggy? What are you looking at?" Rayleigh, noticing Buggy's focused expression, glanced at the newspaper. "Oh... is it about the latest pirate rookies? I heard from Shakky that there are a few pretty good new pirates, all young and arrogant!"

Buggy replied, "Yes... Mr. Rayleigh, you should have noticed that although this era seems peaceful, time is like the waves of the sea, constantly moving forward while simultaneously accumulating power until it finally forms an overwhelming wave that pushes this era to its peak..."

Rayleigh remained noncommittal, turning back to gaze at the distant horizon, muttering to himself, "Roger... is this really the era you wanted...?"

Looking at Rayleigh's profile, Buggy thought to himself, "Captain Roger himself probably didn't know either..."

The snake-shaped ship continued its journey towards Sabaody Archipelago. During this time, Boa Sandersonia and Mohji chatted more and more frequently, their personalities surprisingly compatible. Even Buggy noticed something odd about it; these two were talking way too much! What exactly was Boa Hancock up to...? But honestly, aside from the difference in size, the combination of a beast tamer and a Snake-Snake Devil Fruit User was surprisingly appealing. Hmm, but is this really okay...?

Buggy felt a little uncertain.

The women on the ship were completely baffled by the current state of their conversation. Boa Hancock, who had despised men for over thirty years and had never had any intimate contact with them, had absolutely no doubt about Boa Sandersonia's loyalty. Her sister was getting close to that scoundrel to do her bidding... what a sacrifice!

In fact, Boa Sandersonia had taken an interest in Mohji on Ruskaina Island. Her sister complex led her to confuse Mohji's arrogance with Boa Hancock's narcissistic pride. However, that was only the first step of her curiosity. Next, under Boa Hancock's orders, she needed to get close to Mohji, a woman who hadn't had a normal conversation with a man in thirty years. Her situation was actually somewhat similar to Boa Hancock's. Now that she had met a man who could chat with her patiently, her feelings for him naturally increased rapidly.

For Mohji, his only skill was animal taming, but no one on the ship was interested in it. Now, however, he had found someone to listen to his animal taming experiences, which naturally filled him with immense satisfaction and joy!

Time flew by, and as the snake-shaped ship gradually approached Sabaody Archipelago, Boa Hancock still hadn't received any good news from her sister. Moreover, she sensed that Boa Sandersonia was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. In the end, she had no choice but to abandon her plan to incite infighting among Buggy and the others. Besides, with Rayleigh by her side, she couldn't do anything too outrageous. Seeing that Buggy had been behaving himself for the past two days, she withdrew her intentions and let him go.
