ShSh was not fast enough to dodge, and the fist smashed straight into its large head.
"Awooo!"
ShSh shook its head in pain, instantly retreating a full several meters.
The pain on its head kept reminding it that the man before it was not someone to be trifled with either.
Luffy had never seen ShSh in this form and naturally failed to recognize that the wolf before him was the puppy from earlier.
"Look at that! I'm gonna challenge you to a duel, to think you actually managed to send me flying!"
Luffy's eyes shone with excitement; it was his first time seeing someone this strong, and it would be great if he could have a fight with him.
"I don't have much of a problem wanting to fight you, but shouldn't you wait until ShSh gets its revenge?"
Moyun sighed, not expecting Luffy to recover so quickly.
He could only say as expected of the protagonist, right?
"ShSh? Who's that, what does that have to do with me? Anyway, I'm just gonna punch all of you guys flying!"
Luffy tilted his head, completely unable to recall anything called ShSh.
With that said, he threw a punch straight at Moyun's face.
Moyun was also grown somewhat impatient by Luffy's repeated meddling. His eyes flashed, and a wisp of gray aura suddenly appeared in his left hand, drilling straight into Luffy's body.
"Then go ahead and try the feeling of being bound by yourself."
Nami watched with her own eyes as Luffy's arm lengthened and then wrapped around himself tightly, unable to move a muscle.
"Luffy! What are you going to do to Luffy?!"
Even the captain was directly bound by this man—one could easily imagine how strong this man was!
Nami's eyes were filled with wariness as she weighed the possibility of her own escape.
"A-lah, why is my hand starting to tie me up? Damn it, go hit them instead! Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
Luffy sat down on the ground unsteadily, struggling with all his might. The harder he tried to execute his move, the tighter the binds became.
This was the power of the Chaos Fruit. Moyun caused Luffy's actions to become chaotic, so all his movements were completely out of control.
If he continued to develop this in the future, Moyun guessed, he might even be able to control people's actions.
But all of this was just a guess; if the Chaos Fruit could really reach that kind of level, it would simply be too formidable.
"Shh, the two of you had better keep quiet."
Moyun glanced casually at Nami and Luffy. Although Luffy was still making that noisy fuss, Nami quieted down.
Years of experience told her that this man was definitely not to be messed with.
Seeing that Luffy had lost the ability to act, ShSh originally wanted to go up and take revenge, but upon catching Moyun's gaze, it gave up.
It was better to deal with this eyesore of a lion before them first.
Mohji did not take what he was seeing before him to heart. "Are you guys done making a fuss? Don't tell me you're just dragging out time and planning to run away."
The big lion Richie took a few steps forward, its breath kicking up the dust on the ground, and looked quite majestic.
That so-called wolf was nothing much either, actually getting hit in the head.
Richie let out a few growls toward Mohji, seemingly asking for credit in advance from its master.
"ShSh, go. Now is your home turf, no one is going to bother you anymore."
"Awooo!"
With a wolf howl, ShSh fixed its blue eyes firmly on Richie, seemingly filled with a shred of disdain.
"Richie, go bite it to death for me! It's just a mongrel dog, yet it dares to be so arrogant in front of me!"
Mohji shouted, his whip lashing continuously against the ground as he gazed greedily at ShSh.
It would be great if he could take this dog into his collection, seeing as it was a dog that had eaten a Devil Fruit after all.
And judging by this form, its ability shouldn't be weak.
If he could find yet another powerful pet for the Buggy Pirates, Captain Buggy would definitely reward him handsomely!
Richie swung its sturdy paws and pounced at ShSh. At this moment, ShSh's body was extremely agile and filled with strength.
It easily dodged Richie's attack and clamped its jaws directly onto Richie's neck.
"Awooo! Awooooo!"
Richie felt the intense pain in its neck and instantly flipped over, begging for mercy for all it was worth.
The speed of it left even Nami clicking her tongue in wonder. Was this still the majestic lion from just now?
Richie was naturally a lion that loved ease and hated work; who would have thought that this puppy could become so formidable!
It thought it could easily win, but now its life was almost gone!
"Richie, you stupid lion, what on earth are you doing?!"
Only then did Mohji feel a bit panicked. How could this dog have become so strong?!
After all, his only life-saving tool was this large lion.
Moyun, watching the battle from the side, also felt somewhat bored. He even let out a yawn; it seemed he had overestimated this man and lion. Could the people of the Buggy Pirates really be of this caliber?
"To think they actually dared to knock my enemy flat on his face, then I'm gonna beat that wolf flying!"
Luffy was still shouting over there, still not figuring out that the wolf before him was that white puppy ShSh from earlier.
"Quiet down!"
Before Moyun could even speak, Nami was the first to land a punch on Luffy.
"That white wolf is ShSh the white dog!"
"Huh? How is that possible? That dog is actually called ShSh?"
So was the crucial point right now who was called ShSh?
Moyun twitched the corners of his mouth in speechlessness. He finally got a taste of just how thick-headed Luffy really was.
Forget it, never mind all that.
Since ShSh had already taken its revenge, he should now be able to take ShSh and leave this place.
Their journey should also begin.
"ShSh, change back. You've done more than well enough."
ShSh still hadn't quite recovered its wits; it had actually defeated that lion using its own strength.
Yet its master's shop would never return.
ShSh's build began to shrink gradually, turning back into the appearance of the little white dog it was at the very beginning, with the previous wounds still lingering on its face.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
ShSh barked a few times at the pet shop that had been burned beyond recognition. It seemed to be able to see its master pushing open the door and calling its name with a smile.
Meanwhile, Moyun stood by and waited quietly, knowing that ShSh was saying its farewells.
"All right, I've finally caught you, Straw Hat Boy!"
A man wearing a large cape walked over angrily from afar. He had blue hair tucked into his hat, and his red nose was the most conspicuous feature of all.
He was Buggy the Star Clown.
"Nami, you've finally let me catch you! Hurry up and hand over my treasure map! Otherwise, I'm going to kill you right here! Anyone who crosses Buggy the Great can just wait to die!"
