As long as you pass through Loguetown's central square, which is connected in all directions, you can quickly reach the south bank. This is also Buggy's nearest escape route. Taking advantage of this wave of chaos, he has thrown away Smoker, at least, he can't see the other party's figure.
The town is very big, and he can't run at full speed all the time. If he consumes too much energy, he will be very passive in the event of an emergency.
He had successfully arrived at the central square in front of him, and it would take about half an hour to leave Loguetown. With the sound of wind in his ears, Buggy ducked to the side, and a white smoke sprinted past his original position.
Immediately afterwards, the motorcycle accelerated and drifted, blocking Buggy's path. Smoker jumped off the car, stared at Buggy who had to stop, and frowned. "Where are my clothes?!"
"This is cheating." Buggy muttered as he looked at the motorcycle, then his eyes fell on the pink lace bathrobe on the other person, and he said playfully, "I'm sorry, I accidentally threw that one away, but I didn't expect that White Hunter's taste is still very special."
Smoker said with a sullen face, "You bastard threw away my clothes...Buggy the Clown?!"
Buggy was wearing a mask and cloak, so of course the other party couldn't tell. He didn't intend to expose himself, so he said casually, "Of course not, I am the overlord of East Blue, Admiral Krieg!"
"No matter who you are..." When he thought that his clothes were not only stolen but also thrown away by the other party, Smoker became very angry. "I must arrest you today!!"
As he spoke, his lower body turned into thick white smoke, and he accelerated and sprinted over.
"That's too naive!" Buggy pulled out the Jitte that was carried behind his back, raised his hand and struck forward.
Smoker had long expected Buggy's action. When he approached Buggy, his body instantly split into two halves of smoke, dispersed, and went around behind Buggy, punching him. Unfortunately, he still underestimated Buggy's reaction.
Buggy stepped forward, using the forward force to leave Smoker's hitting range. Then he separated Jitte's right hand from his body and stabbed Smoker's fist behind him impartially like a crosshair.
The distance between the two parties was too close, and Smoker was unable to dodge. The fist was knocked back to its original form, suddenly becoming limp and weak, and the smoke on his arm returned to its physical form.
Buggy turned around and raised his foot backwards. A white slashing air flow knocked Smoker away and hit Execution Platform. The steel plate support of Execution Platform was immediately dented.
Smoker was sent from Grand Line, and Devil Fruit User from Logia. His name is really scary, but because of his own Smoke-Smoke Fruit has insufficient attack power and does not know how to Armament Haki. However, it seems that it is more than capable to deal with Buggy who has captured Jitte.
Fortunately, it is non-lethal smoke. If it is fire, ice or magma, Logia, Buggy will not easily take advantage of it.
Smoker stood up clutching his painful chest, and finally stopped looking down on him. Because he had been placed in East Blue for a long time and fought against several self-righteous little pirates, he habitually relied on the fruit's ability, and he didn't take Haki taught by Zephyr to heart.
Not only has there been no improvement in the past few years, but physical skills have become much sparser. Now that the weapon inlaid with Seastone was taken away, he has become more aware of his shortcomings.
However, he has the energy to never admit defeat. Seeing that Buggy was about to escape again, his body suddenly turned into white smoke and chased after him, "Don't even think about running away under my nose!!"
Buggy stopped and his body turned into fine grains of sand the moment Smoker approached. It adhered to Jitte and dispersed around, passing through the latter. After passing by, Wu Zi closed his body in the air, Jitte quickly pressed against the elemental back of Smoker's neck, and pressed it to the ground, "You are really a annoying little goblin."
Smoker opened his eyes and said nothing, clenching his fists tightly. He was actually pinned down by a mere East Blue pirate. This has never happened before!
Since the opponent is the navy, there is no problem for Buggy, who is a pirate, to kill him. However, the opponent's background is more complicated. He is not just a straggler like a pirate who forms his own team. The key is that he has a lot of friendship with Aokiji and Zephyr. It would be terrible if these two guys cause trouble.
"Not good, Captain Smoker!!"
A group of navy soldiers chased from the side. Seeing Smoker being suppressed by the pirates, the captain hurriedly ordered and fired Prison Rounds.
Bang bang!
Several Prison Rounds shots were fired from the barrel in this direction, and the large grille opened and came down.
"Just right!"
Seeing that the iron net containing Seastone's ingredients was about to fall, Buggy used the razor to escape in an instant. Smoker, who was pressed to the ground, was covered in it and could not move.
"Don't give it away." Buggy waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the alley.
When the soldiers saw Buggy running away, they detained the commander instead. They were panicked and sweat poured out of their faces.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you untie the net on me quickly!" Smoker looked at the dazed soldiers and shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes." The soldier moved very quickly and took off the net from Smoker's body. The latter sat on the ground and looked gloomily at the direction in which Buggy was escaping. "I will definitely catch you, masked bastard!"
Smoker was about to stand up and give the order to hunt, when suddenly a very embarrassed noncommissioned officer ran from a distance, shouting from a distance with tears streaming down his face, "Captain Smoker, Captain Smoker, I finally see you!"
Smoker looked sideways at the man and frowned, "You... aren't you the one following Tashigi... where are Tashigi?"
"Tashigi Sergeant was captured. I managed to escape from the pirates..." the sergeant choked up and said.
"She was kidnapped by a seaside restaurant called Baratie. That restaurant is the headquarters of Buggy Pirates, a place where stolen goods are sold and money laundered. There are also a group of brutal chefs who like to cook with human flesh. If we don't rescue Staff Sergeant Tashigi quickly, I'm afraid her life will be in danger, Captain Smoker!!"
"It just happened that at this time..." Smoker hammered the ground hard and pondered the words in his mouth for a long time. Although he guessed that all the things were the good deeds of the masked man or Buggy, he still did not dare to make fun of Tashigi's life and immediately ordered, "Prepare the warship. After dealing with the chaos in the town, follow me to Baratie!"
Next to the wall of the house to the north of the central square, Bartolomeo took a photo and the reward list from Cabaji from the younger brother who caught up with him. This photo happened to be what Cabaji looked like when he was taking off his women's clothing.
"This person... is a cadre of Buggy Pirates..." He compared it and said angrily, "Damn it, you dared to lie to me and make me think that it was the navy that hurt my brothers. These bastard pirates, I will not let them go!"
