"Hey, boss, you were actually taught a lesson by a pirate!"
"Boss Endi, this damn Red Nose is too arrogant. In North Blue, even the navy would not dare to talk to you like this!"
Several pirates following Endi immediately started shouting. Endi narrowed his triangular eyes and stared at Buggy. After a while, he spoke.
"Forget it... he is a big pirate with 48 million yuan. It is not worth it to anger him because of two women."
He also learned the personal information of Buggy from the same "pirate guide" as Frog Elder, East Blue, the big pirate with the highest reward, Buggy the Clown.
"The pirates who can enter Grand Line are not worthless, they also know some sense of propriety..."
Buggy said lightly and put his sunglasses back on. He knew that although the captain of Jackal Crew intended to provoke, he still lacked courage and did not dare to take action on Shichibukai's territory.
Endi didn't seem to take Buggy's words to heart. He turned around and walked to another seat in an instant, teasing other women.
"What a disgusting guy!" Mikuru snorted at Endi's back, and Kaya SMILE advised him, "Okay, don't get angry with this kind of person."
The day passed quickly. In the evening, several beach volleyball exhibition games and close-up hula dances were rehearsed on the open-air platform. After enjoying the delicious food prepared by Xiana Weisen's special chef, Buggy asked Frog Elder who was waiting aside when Log Pose recorded the time of landing on the island.
"It will take about three days." Frog Elder SMILE gave the answer.
Since Grand Line's geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, sea currents, and air currents are all in chaos, it is necessary to use Log Pose to store the magnetism of the next island in order to confirm the direction of navigation. Buggy is not in a hurry, just asking to have a good idea.
When it got dark and the crowds on the platform and on the beach gradually became sparse, Buggy and Shuma returned to the room, and the rest of the people also went back.
About an hour after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door made of red bamboo.
Buggy stopped exercising his fruit abilities and asked Shuma, who was watching the performance projected by Den Den Mushi, to open the door.
A man wearing a black robe, wrapped up tightly, walked in. As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Buggy's distinctive Red Nose, licked the corners of his mouth, and then said, "You are Buggy the Clown, right?"
"Well, I am."
"In that case, I'm going to be blunt, are you willing to join Shichibukai's army?"
"Oh... Your Majesty, what do you mean...?"
"You are the pirate with the highest bounty on this island in the past few days..." The man in black robe habitually licked the corner of his mouth, "We can give you a chance to serve Lord Donquixote Doflamingo, so that you can also get the protection of Shichibukai."
"Shichibukai is so cheap that you have to recruit workers in this way?" Buggy showed a sly smile, "This is the first time I've heard of it..."
The man in black robe paused visibly, and his voice became colder, "This is an invitation from the supreme Shichibukai. Not every pirate can get this kind of treatment, Buggy the Clown!!"
"No need, please come back."
Buggy didn't say much. It was impossible for him to accept being someone else's subordinate, succumbing to them, and working for them. Even Four Emperors couldn't do it in person, let alone Shichibukai.
The man in black robe licked the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "You are a very courageous pirate, but courage alone is far from being able to survive on Grand Line. You will eventually regret losing this opportunity!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the room indifferently.
"Donquixote Doflamingo..." Buggy murmured in a low voice and sneered.
Early the next morning, there was a strong knock on the door, and then the red bamboo door was kicked open.
"Red Nose, Red Nose!" Mikuru's voice was so anxious that he was about to cry.
As soon as he heard Mikuru's passionate voice, Buggy had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Mikuru with tears rolling in his eyes. "Don't worry, just talk!"
"Kaya, Kaya is gone. I don't know where she went. What should I do? I lost Kaya, wuwu..." Mikuru cried out with a "wow" sound.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Shuma stroked Mikuru's plush head and comforted her thoughtfully, "Don't be anxious, Cat..."
"How could you not be in a hurry!" Mikuru slapped Shuma's hand away angrily, choking and saying, "Yesterday, yesterday... she was still in the room at night. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't see her anymore..."
"Come on, take me over and see what's going on!" Buggy couldn't blame Mikuru. He got off the bamboo bed, put on his shoes, carried Jitte behind his back, then picked up Den Den Mushi and dialed a number, "Hey, is it Frog Elder?"
"Haha, it's Mr. Buggy, do you have anything to do with me?" Den Den Mushi's black-rimmed glasses suddenly lifted up. It must have been Frog Elder over there who pushed up the glasses.
"My crew member is missing. It's in the Xiana Weisen Hotel you provided. I think if you can't give me an explanation..." Buggy's tone softened and suddenly became gloomy, "I don't know what the consequences will be!!"
A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Den Den Mushi, "Yes, I will be here soon!"
Buggy hung up Den Den Mushi, and then ordered Shuma: "Go and call Mohji and Cabaji over."
Shuma ran away quickly.
The rooms of Kaya and Mikuru are right next to Buggy. The door is open at this time, and the curtains block the sunlight that wants to shine in. The back room is very dark.
Buggy walked in and took a look around. The structure of this room was almost the same as the one he lived in. There were two large beds leaning against the east and west corners. Next to the big bed were two neat tables and chairs. On the table were a desk lamp with residual light, the book <Crocus's Medical Observations> and a coconut shell with a straw inserted into it. On the south side of the room was a projection screen using Den Den Mushi to receive signals. It was dark at the time.
After a rough glance around, he walked to the east curtain and opened the light yellow curtain. The early morning sunlight shone in, and the room suddenly became extremely bright.
The vision became clearer, and then Cabaji and Mohji walked in quickly and asked in unison, "The ship's doctor is missing?!"
"Yes, Kaya is missing... However, it is also possible that she just went for a walk..." After saying that, Buggy fell silent. This idea was too optimistic and a bit unrealistic. He then said to Cabaji, "You all come over and search for it. If you have any clues, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, Captain Buggy!"
Buggy stared at Mikuru: "Mikuru, think about it again, what happened last night?!"
