Chapter 242

Wolf!

Luo stared intently at the man.

Wolf, that's the name of the man who adopted him!

"Hahaha! If you don't get out here soon, this town is doomed!"

The man laughed loudly.

His hands emitted a special kind of light wave, which struck the struggling residents.

Then, under Luo's bloodshot eyes, the residents who had been fleeing in terror immediately turned pale and swayed.

Like, they were drunk too.

Chapter 165 Powerful! Invitation and Rejection

Buck is a pirate.

A failed pirate.

He was a scoundrel from a young age, selfish, reckless, and domineering.

However, he also possessed strength that was unmatched by ordinary people, so from his youth onwards, he always caused chaos in his hometown.

So when he finally decided to set sail and become a pirate, the people of his hometown practically cheered with joy.

However, this excitement did not last long.

Because Buck went on to explore the Grand Line.

But the final result was a crushing defeat.

So, Buck, who had miraculously survived, returned to his hometown to regroup.

The people of his hometown did not welcome his return, and in his anger, Buck burned his hometown to the ground.

That happened many years ago.

Back then, Buck was still young, but now he is over middle-aged.

My hometown is called Swallow Island, and the town that was burned down was rebuilt and renamed Joy Town.

Now, Buck has failed once again in his attempt to conquer the Grand Line, and he has returned to his homeland once more.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Buck laughed wildly, "Just like that, you'll all become my puppets!"

The light waves he released covered everyone in the area, instantly turning all the residents who couldn't escape into his playthings.

"Wolf! I'll see how long you're going to hide!"

Buck waved.

Staggering and swaying, as if drunk, the residents staggered and ran wildly toward the center of town.

Luo and his three henchmen hid behind a house, their expressions extremely grim.

"They're here for Mr. Wolf!"

Penguin lowered his voice, his hat already soaked with sweat, "This is bad, Captain! This guy seems to be Devil Fruit User too! Everyone's being controlled by him!"

"We can't let him just storm into the town!"

Luo took a deep breath. "Otherwise, everyone in town will become his puppet!"

"Shall we fight?"

Shakky gritted his teeth, "Unlike the thugs we took down before, this time, they're real pirates!"

"I can't worry about that anymore!"

Luo raised his hand and lowered the brim of his hat. "We must not let them hurt any more people!"

"He's an ability user, and so am I!"

"Captain!"

Penguin was startled. "Mr. Wolf said you can't use your abilities in front of outsiders!"

"That's right!"

Bepo the White Bepo hurriedly added, "We'll be targeted by pirates and the Marines!"

"Now is not the time to be afraid of these things."

Luo looked around, "Want to come with me?"

The two people and the bear hesitated for a moment.

Then.

"Certainly!"

Without hesitation, the four turned around and prepared to rush out.

And it was at this time...

"Buck!! Why did you come back?!"

An angry roar came from afar.

Luo and the others, who had just rushed out from behind the house, were stunned and subconsciously looked ahead along the street.

In the distance, an elderly figure with white hair came running.

"Mr. Wolf!"

Luo was startled.

"Hahaha! It's finally here!"

Buck was completely oblivious to Luo and the others rushing out from the side; his attention was entirely drawn to the rapidly approaching figure.

"You old geezer, after all these years, are you really that unwelcoming to your son's return?!"

Son?

Luo and his three companions were completely stunned.

I don't have a son like you!

The white-haired old man, Wolf, the famous inventor from Swallow Island, gritted his teeth.

Giving birth to Buck was the biggest regret of his life.

Raising Buck was the second thing he regretted in his life.

The fact that he once thought Buck could be saved was the third thing he regretted in his life.

When Buck set sail, Wolf actually went with Buck.

The main reason was that he wanted to stop this madman from continuing his rampage on the sea.

On the other hand, he also hoped that the vast sea could change his violent son.

Unfortunately, they failed to achieve any of these goals.

Even after his failed attempt to conquer the Grand Line, he watched helplessly as this bastard turned their homeland into ruins.

Since then, Wolf and Buck have completely broken ties.

He stayed alone on Swallow Island and spent a long time rebuilding the town.

But now, that bastard is back!

"Now that things have come to this, Buck, what are you doing back here?!"

Wolf questioned her almost hoarsely.

"Do what?"

Buck grinned. "It's nothing, just two things."

"First, I've suffered another defeat on the Grand Line, with considerable losses. Almost everyone on board is injured, and I need to rest here for a while."

"The second thing,"

A greedy glint gradually appeared in his eyes. "I'm going to build an even more powerful pirate crew, so I need a lot of money!"

"Heh heh, old man, the legendary treasure of Swallow Island is real, isn't it? There really is a huge amount of treasure buried somewhere on this island, right!"

Wolf's expression changed slightly, his eyes flickering. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

There is indeed a treasure trove lying dormant on this island.

However, he had already unearthed that treasure and used it to fund the reconstruction of the town.

If Buck knew about this, he would probably go completely insane.

"Hahahaha! Denying it is useless! I've already investigated! Otherwise, why do you think I came back?"

Buck laughed heartily, "By the way, this time, you old codger, come with me too. I must say, your invention is quite useful!"

Wolf gritted his teeth, "Don't even think about it!"

"It's not up to you!"

Buck waved.

The civilians under his control were rushing towards Wolf like zombies.

"Mr. Wolf!"

Several figures suddenly crashed into them, knocking the residents at the front of the line to their knees.

Luo and his three companions stood in front of Wolf.

"Luo... you guys!"

Watching the retreating figure of the young man he had adopted, Wolf became even more anxious. "You must leave! This bastard is no ordinary person! He's extremely dangerous!"

"If we leave now, this island will be in real danger!"

Luo didn't turn around, but stared intently at Wolf. "I've roughly understood the situation, Mr. Wolf. The question now is, how can we get everyone back to normal?"

Wolf paused, then gritted his teeth, "Buck is Paramecia Drunken-Drunken Devil Fruit User; he can dissolve himself, and even dissolve a person's mind!"

"Anyone affected by his power will fall into a state similar to being drunk, and will die after 24 hours because their mind will be completely dissolved. The only way to remove the power is to kill him or knock him unconscious!"

"Understood!"

Luo nodded knowingly. "So, dealing with this guy will solve the problem, right?"

"Mr. Wolf, let's fight side by side this time!"

"Be careful, Luo!"

Wolf's expression turned serious.

As Law said, the only way to protect this island now is to fight!
