The World Is Shocked!

The Ark Maxim carried Buggy all the way to the outer edge of the Totto Land Warcraft, where they could finally see a few figures and a pirate ship churning the waves.

Buggy said, "Gild Tesoro, you did a really good job this time... You showed me the value of our cooperation, and I think we can continue to work together in the future."

"You're probably the only one capable of single-handedly infiltrating Big Mom's territory and taking on the entire Four Emperors crew..." Gild Tesoro revealed a sinister smile. "With your cooperation, I can achieve my goals much faster."

Buggy gave an ambiguous look. It was an exaggeration to say that he could take on the entire Four Emperors crew single-handedly. Although he had acted recklessly on Egg Whole Cake Island today and ruined Charlotte Linlin's carefully prepared tea party, he had not been able to kill any of the Big Mom Pirates' officers.

In fact, with Charlotte Linlin and the rest of the Charlotte Family watching him closely, he couldn't possibly wipe out the entire Big Mom Pirates and escape unscathed. The purpose of his sabotage was mainly to intimidate and demonstrate his military might.

As for Enel's aerial invasion of Whole Cake Island and the creation of Thundercloud to destroy the town, although it was an idea that Buggy suggested to Gild Tesoro before he came to Totto Land, he did not have high hopes for it. Therefore, he was quite surprised that Gild Tesoro successfully persuaded Enel.

Enel's arrival means that Buggy can evacuate from Whole Cake Island by air, avoiding the Big Mom Pirates' relentless pursuit on land and sea, which is also the best way out.

Although things didn't go as planned.

"Alright... thank you for your cooperation." Buggy said, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at Enel. "Enel, would you be interested in becoming my subordinate?"

Enel's expression changed slightly, and the displeasure in his eyes swept over Buggy like a tangible wave of energy. He said coldly, "Arrogant! God is not someone you can slander!"

He could feel Buggy's strength and domineering presence in the battle just now, but the word "obedience" never appeared in his dictionary. For him, only he himself could be above himself!

Buggy shrugged, unfazed. "Alright, that's enough for me. Your help today will earn you a place in the future when you witness the changing times!"

"Times are changing?" Gild Tesoro said. "The decline of the World Government and the death of the Celestial Dragons are what I most want to see."

Enel said, "Just make those self-proclaimed gods disappear... The so-called divine territory is controlled by the true 'gods,' Red Nose. I only care when this promise will be fulfilled?"

Buggy knew that Enel was referring to the Red Line. Enel had probably long considered the Endless Vearth he dreamed of as the Red Line, and the reason he agreed to come to Whole Cake Island was to obtain Buggy's assistance.

"God is all-knowing and all-powerful."

Buggy's words completely shut down Enel's next words. He continued, "I will turn the gears of this world, and the World Nobles will one day become dust in history. As for how to take over the Red Line, that will depend on your abilities!"

Having said that, Buggy didn't linger. He leaped out of the Ark Maxim.

"Snort."

Enel snorted coldly, preparing to interrogate Gild Tesoro with the intention of launching an attack, but the latter preemptively said, "Since he agreed to help eliminate the Celestial Dragons, why are you so unsure of achieving your goal?"

"..."

Enel was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Yes, I am a god! A god... is invincible!!"

"Heh..." Gild Tesoro just looked at Enel and smiled insincerely, then said nothing more.

Buggy used spatial recoil to reduce the weight of his descent, landing steadily on the deck of the pirate ship. He smiled at the person in front of him and said, "You keep your promise, Jinbe."

Compared to Enel, Buggy trusts the blue fat man known for his chivalry more. Enel is an unstable factor, while Jinbe is Buggy's real backup plan. Buggy had made specific arrangements before arriving at Whole Cake Island. If Enel did not come to the rescue, Buggy would fight and retreat, using Jinbe's racial advantage in the sea to defeat and escape the pursuit of the Big Mom Pirates.

Jinbe nodded. "You're too kind. Fish-Man Island is now protected by your flag, preventing it from being invaded and plundered by pirates..."

He paused, quickly scanning Buggy's entire body. Finding no further obvious new injuries, his eyes widened in disbelief. "I never imagined you could actually infiltrate Big Mom's territory and escape unscathed... I thought you'd gone mad."

"Oh?" Buggy replied with interest. "So, what about now?"

Jinbe shook his head with a hint of self-deprecation. "It seems I was ignorant. In the year since the Marineford War, you've experienced more than I imagined, so you've gained more as well. That should be the truth."

Buggy remained noncommittal, his words becoming increasingly enigmatic. "So... do I, now, have the right to command your submission?"

Another invisible pressure seemed to emanate from Buggy. Jinbe's breath hitched slightly, and his lips parted slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. Rather than saying that he was unwilling to obey Buggy, it would be more accurate to say that he had a more suitable candidate in mind.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The other Fish-Man of the Sun Pirates stood frozen in place, at a loss, and the vice-captain Aladine dared not step forward to interrupt.

"You're too nervous," Buggy suddenly laughed. "Take me to the Festival Island; the warriors from the Mermaid Kingdom are all there."

"Call..."

All the Fish-Man around secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in Jinbe's eyes gradually disappeared. If Buggy forced him to Buggy Pirates, then as Fish-Man, and for the future of Fish-Man Island, he would have to do so. Fortunately, the other party did not have that intention.

"I understand. I'll just have to go to the Festival Island to see how my people are living these days," Jinbe replied solemnly.

It happened approximately two days later, in the morning.

A piece of news spread rapidly along the Grand Line and across the seas, with newspapers of all kinds around the world reprinting the major news on the front page of the World Economy News with added embellishments.

The whole world was shocked and in an uproar. People everywhere spread the news by word of mouth. This report would become the biggest news since the Marineford War and the death of Whitebeard Edward Geneus—the Shichibukai Buggy broke into the territory of the Big Mom Pirates and wreaked havoc, and some people even witnessed Buggy fighting Kaido of the Beasts!

An insider from the World Economy News even created a video recording of Den Den Mushi) vividly depicting the scene of Buggy's one-on-one fight with Kaido. This video was then replicated by countless people and quickly became a highly sought-after and rare item!

Buggy the Star Clown, a great pirate who made a name for himself in the Marineford War and helped the Whitebeard Pirates rescue Fire Fist Ace, accepted the World Government's call after the war and became a pirate with legal rights. Regardless of whether his reputation is good or bad, his name has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the world.

A year later, this notorious pirate, still a topic of conversation, once again broke through the dam of people's hearts like a flood, sending shock and horror into the hearts of the world.

"Whether it's the Four Emperors and the Navy, nobles and beggars, who wouldn't recognize Genius Jester?"

People kept repeating this phrase; in the streets and alleys, in palaces and estates, everyone was talking about Buggy's life and experiences.

Inside the castle in Dressrosa, Donquixote Doflamingo clutched the newspaper tightly in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead;

On Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock listened to Granny Nyon read the newspaper word for word, and finally arrogantly kicked her out of the castle;

Punk Hazard, M. Caesar Clown laughed heartily at the Big Mom Pirates' defeat, while his secretary, Monet, remained unmoved, offering only a faint smile.

At the entrance to the Grand Line, Crotus, who had been reclining in a wicker chair, straightened up and handed the newspaper to Sparky Gaban, laughing heartily.

On Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh took a swig of wine, listened to Shakky's report, and shook his head with a smile;

On Kuraigana Island, Dracule Mihawk sipped his red wine, placing a newspaper on the table for the curious Zoro to read.

On Baltigo, Monkey D. Dragon sat quietly in a chair, deep in thought, Inazuma and Koala stood on either side, waiting patiently.

At Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Aokiji listened to the news from Fujitora and Sengoku, while Chief of Sengoku Tsuru frowned deeply.

This bombshell news was like a huge stone thrown into a stagnant pool, stirring up waves and creating rapid ripples.

Some people also asked, "Who exactly is this person?"

The knowledgeable old man would gaze out to sea, lost in memories, looking eastward, "He was a living legend who followed the Pirate King long ago..."
