A Father Worth 4.5 Billion Beli!

"44444444.5 billion!?" Buggy's tongue was in a frenzy of knots in his mouth, and his round red nose twitched with his rapid breathing.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed Mochi by the collar, and shook him violently. "Tell me it's a copying error! Tell me the World Government accidentally added three extra zeros!"

Mochi was so blinded by the lights that he didn't even notice the Wanted Poster on the ground or why his Joker captain had suddenly gone crazy. He caught sight of Carrot munching on a carrot at the edge of the deck and reflexively pulled out a fire ring. "Richie! Perform a Ring of Fire -jumping act to entertain the captain!"

The lion that was called out had just raised its hind leg to lick its fur when it was startled and knocked over the drying rack for fish.

"Splash—"

The sound of the metal frame collapsing made Buggy yell and jump onto the gun emplacement. He trembled, his legs clamping around the cannon barrel, and wildly waved his short knife, shouting, "No! Don't come any closer!"

Vivi was bending down to lift the dried fish rack when she heard the sound and instinctively straightened up.

This action made Buggy instantly curl up into a ball, covering his head. "Don't hit me! My treasure is hidden in..." He suddenly stopped, realizing that the other person had just picked up a salted fish.

"Pfft." Perona floated into the air, holding her parasol, deliberately letting the Negative Hollow fly past Buggy's ear. "A loser like you who gets weak in the knees at the sight of pirates should just donate your Red Nose to the circus as a third wheel."

"You're right!" Buggy fell to his knees and wept bitterly. "Trash like me should just be collecting seashells in the East China Sea!"

He suddenly jumped up and pointed at Perona: "You, you, you, what did you do to me!"

"Let me introduce myself. I am a former deputy of the Shichibukai, Hollow-Hollow Fruit User, and my bounty is 38 million Beli."

The entire sea suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Fang Yu slowly sat up from the recliner, with a "I'm an idiot" sticker that Perona had secretly put on his head. He scratched the sunburned mark on his stomach and said, "Oh right, right, she used to work for Gecko Moria. But after I defeated Moria, she became my personal servant."

"Three thousand, thirty-eight million Beli bounty, and he's just a servant?" Buggy repeated mechanically, then suddenly turned and sprinted towards the ship's side. "Mochi! Turn the wheel! Turn the wheel! I suddenly remembered there's Red Bean Soup simmering on the stove."

Buggy turned to run away, but accidentally bumped into the barbecue grill!

"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Buggy jumped up and down, swinging his arms. The burning Wanted Poster drifted in the wind to the Ammunition Depot of Buggy's pirate ship. Buggy, pale-faced, rushed over and used his cape to swat at the sparks, only to step on a banana peel that he had carelessly thrown away that morning.

"Thump!"

With a loud thud as Buggy's head slammed against the barrel, his pupils dilated and he let out a scream like a chicken, "Split! Let me split and escape!"

However, his body was still stuck in the gap of the wooden barrel, and only his head and limbs were ejected with a "plop" sound, rolling on the deck and leaving five charred marks.

"That guy's body is talking!" Carrot exclaimed, clutching the carrot!

"Aaaaaah!" Buggy's head screamed on the mast, and his remaining body parts scattered in all directions, eventually plunging into the sea because he didn't have a head attached!

"Thump!"

Buggy, the people on both boats wore expressions as if they had just watched a Joker circus.

"That Red Nose, he's crazy, isn't he?" Perona couldn't help but complain. Nami laughed twice, then turned her head and clenched her fists, cursing Buggy.

"What a piece of trash!"

Mochi, who boarded the ship with Buggy, thought Buggy had accidentally fallen into the water and rushed to rescue him. Seeing this, Brook gently pushed the plank that Bucky was on onto the ship into the sea, gave Vivi a wink, and Vivi nodded and immediately turned the rudder to full speed!

In the sea, Mochi was struggling in the water, finally managing to grab Buggy's arm. Seeing that their "fat sheep"—Fang Yu and his crew—was about to leave, he was extremely anxious and frantically shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't run! Once our captain gets on board, we'll all slaughter you! Don't run, stand still..."

Before he could finish speaking, Buggy, lying on the wooden plank, suddenly found the strength to roll over and cover Mochi's mouth tightly with his hand, his face full of terror and his eyes filled with despair.

Mochi struggled fiercely, making muffled "woof woof" sounds, and said indistinctly, "Captain, why are you covering my mouth?!"

Buggy, looking half-dead, glared fiercely at Mochi and muttered in a low voice, "Are you out of your mind?!" He looked around to make sure there was no danger before carefully letting go of Mochi's hand. Then he leaned close to Mochi's ear and told Mochi about Fang Yu's bounty of 4.5 billion Beli that he had seen earlier.

Upon hearing this, Mochi's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a basketball, and his expression froze instantly!

The next second, as if he had been electrocuted, he was so frightened that he jumped up from the sea surface, his whole body drawing an arc in the air before crashing back into the sea, splashing up a large amount of water.

He looked at Buggy in horror, his voice trembling as he said, "The ship, Captain, that, that's 4.5 billion! We, we're no match for him..."

Buggy nodded helplessly with a bitter face, and said weakly, "So don't provoke them anymore. Just pretend you didn't see anything today, hurry back to our territory, and don't make trouble for yourselves."

Mochi, still shaken, glanced at Fang Yu and his group's boat as it receded into the distance, swallowed hard, nodded silently, and then, together with Buggy, slunk back to their own boat.

At this moment, Richie, the lion who was surrounded by onlookers on the Ghost Radish, screamed at the top of his lungs, "Awoo! Awoo! Awoowoowoo!"

At sea, besides sleeping, eating, and using the toilet, you just sit there and wait for your meal.

Going out to sea is not as easy and pleasant as you might imagine.

In most cases, people are seasick and may vomit all over the deck if they are not careful.

There are very few forms of entertainment on the ship. Apart from the traditional pirate activities of burning, killing, looting, and womanizing, there are only two other options: playing cards and chatting.

Under the guise of chatting, Nami spent three days getting a pretty good grasp of everything that happened on the ship.

Finally, Nami concluded

We're doomed! We can't stay on this ship! We have to get out!

Taking down two Shichibukai or fighting a Admiral Candidate sounds like a trivial matter.

One person fighting against Marine Hero, Fleet Admiral, Marine Admiral strategist, a naval Admiral Candidate, and an entire fleet—that's the most fucking terrifying thing!

If it were Brook or someone else who said that, Nami would have tolerated it.

It just so happened that it came from the mouth of Carrot, this completely unguarded and honest rabbit!

That leaves only two possibilities!

Either Carrot is cunning and has been pretending to be stupid since day one.

Or

Nami didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Under the cover of night, Nami packed a bundle, went to the bow of the ship, and prepared to lower the lifeboat and escape.

Just then, a sinister voice muttered behind Nami: "Come and go as you please? Didn't you see that lion is still using its body as a mop to drag the deck?"
