Stussy simply said, "Then why don't you start your own business?"

"..."

Buckingham choked for a moment.

More than 30 years ago, after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, almost all of its main members were hunted down by the World Government.

Of course, I'm not afraid of those who are very strong, but she's a different story.

That bastard Newgate has disappeared again, and at that time, Buckingham was practically being chased all over the place by the Navy.

Forced into a corner, she returned to the MADS organization, which was around the time Vegapunk was preparing to conduct his first human cloning experiment.

At the time, Buckingham felt this was a good opportunity to completely escape the Navy's pursuit, so she volunteered to become the test subject for this cloning experiment.

The experiment was a great success, and the woman before us was born.

Buckingham intends to have her take his place and become the new Buckingham Stussy.

As for herself...

Isn't Vegapunk's Lineage Factor technology interesting?

Anyway, Newgate kept rejecting her.

Thus, after many twists and turns, Weevil was born.

But when Buckingham had Stussy take her place, she never imagined that this clone would be doing much better than the original.

He is now a famous figure in the New World.

This time, they were thoroughly scrutinized and said...

"Enough with the nonsense."

Buckingham was somewhat annoyed. "You wouldn't want the news that you're a clone to spread across the ocean, would you?"

Stussy furrowed his brow slightly, exuding an air of pitiful vulnerability. "What do you want?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to take advantage of you. I don't want to reveal my identity as a remnant of the Rocks gang, I haven't even told World and the others."

Buckingham knew when to stop, and his voice immediately softened with a smile, "I need a batch of experimental equipment. You just need to help me find a source; I'll pay for it myself."

Stussy nodded slightly. "What equipment do you need?"

Buckingham rattled off a list of experimental equipment as if reciting a menu.

"None of these are particularly rare devices."

Stussy thought for a moment, "The black market on Gustav Island should have them."

Gustav Island?

Buckingham knew about the island, but he didn't know that it had an underground black market.

"Yes, you know the owner there too,"

Stussy said, "It's Du Feld."

"That old bastard Du Feld?"

Buckingham immediately understood.

Du Feld, one of the New World's underground tycoons, known as the God of Fortune, was an absolute giant in the loan sharking industry. He was the one who sponsored the MADS organization back in the day.

"Very good!"

Buckingham nodded in satisfaction. "Thanks."

"Nothing,"

Stussy said calmly, "I already owe you a life."

"Haha! You're right!"

Buckingham grinned.

Stussy glanced at the foolish Weevil, trying to relax his taut right index finger. No, he was no match for this silly boy. Besides, even if they were to die here, there was still Bandi World. Whether or not this woman had told them about her past, he couldn't let them know that she had died because of him.

Yes, Stussy already wanted to kill when he discovered that his true self had come knocking on his door.

After Buckingham made his request to her, Stussy's murderous intent became completely irreversible.

Once it happens once, who can guarantee it won't happen again?

Do I have to be blackmailed by her forever?

Moreover, this is actually a minor matter.

What Stussy found even more unacceptable was that this woman and Bandi World, whom she followed, were already thorns in the side of the World Government. What if one day they were arrested by the government, and this wretched old woman couldn't withstand the torture and revealed everything?

Simply revealing his clone identity isn't a big deal; after all, strength reigns supreme in the ocean. But the problem is, he's still a member of CP0!

If the government knew that he, as Celestial Dragons's direct agent, was an artificial human created by Dr. Vegapunk, the doctor's situation would become extremely awkward, and he would surely die.

Stussy didn't want to die.

Therefore, this woman must die.

Stussy glanced calmly at the beaming Buckingham, then picked up the teacup on the table in front of him and took a small sip.

Since you're unwilling to settle down and live a peaceful life in seclusion, then don't blame me.

During the battle on Pirate Island, Linlin's child was killed, and she has been searching for these people ever since. In addition to mobilizing the Charlotte Family's intelligence network, she has also offered a large reward for their whereabouts in the Underworld.

Just quietly leak this information to Du Feld; that guy knows what to do.

Gustav Island isn't far from the Totto Land Ocean, so Linlin's people can get there quickly.

However, we can't let this woman fall into Linlin's hands. She and Linlin were true best friends back then, and if she really faces a furious Linlin, this woman will definitely tell her everything.

Even though Linlin still wanted to kill her because of the child's hatred, for her, the situation was only worse; the person who had leverage over her had changed from the old woman to Linlin.

So I have to go there myself, seize the opportunity, and kill her with my own hands!

Naval G-1 Base.

On the coast.

"Come on, kid!"

The Garp the Hero stood tall, his voice booming.

Naito, standing opposite him, suddenly widened his eyes.

Buzz!

The air trembled slightly, as if a gentle breeze had swept through.

"Call!"

Garp's suit was swinging violently, and even his hair was shaking, as if a hurricane was approaching.

Apart from Garp, everything around him remained quiet and unaffected.

Bogard, the Sword King, who was still observing from the sidelines, nodded slightly.

He is indeed an extraordinary genius; his progress in the past few days has been practically visible to the naked eye.

"Very good!"

Garp praised with equal satisfaction, "You've completely stabilized at the second stage level, kid, you're quite the little monster!"

How many days has it been since Awakening Conqueror's Haki? He's already able to control it to this extent.

"It's still too slow."

Naito frowned. "Mr. Garp, isn't there a way for me to master Conqueror's Haki Coating before I turn eighteen?"

If your first birthday in this world is sixteen, then you are now seventeen years and a few months old, and there are still more than half a year until you turn eighteen.

I told you not to be so ambitious.

Garp said irritably, "How can you reach the peak if you haven't even laid a solid foundation?"

Naito thought about it and realized it made sense; King Luffy had been building a foundation for so long.

There shouldn't be any guy who can instantly Coating in Conqueror's Haki upon Awakening, right?

"Alright,"

Garp waved his hand, "I've taught you everything I needed to. You're all about to set sail, so practice hard on your own from now on. Remember, use your heart to control your Conqueror's Haki."

"Mr. Garp,"

Naito, however, smirked, his voice tinged with a strange excitement, "Let me see just how powerful Conqueror's Haki's Coating truly is!"

Sooner or later you'll have to face an enemy who can use the Conqueror's Coating, so instead of getting used to it later, you might as well experience it now.

"You little brat, you really don't know your own limitations."

Garp glanced at Naito, then suddenly chuckled, "But I like brats like this!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Bogard sighed somewhat helplessly.

Mr. Garp's playful side is kicking in again.

"Come on, Naito!"

Garp the Hero straightened up and waved to Naito, "Attack with your strongest move!"

Is it the strongest?

Naito took a deep breath. "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

All his domineering Haki was mobilized in that instant, suddenly converging towards his right fist.

With a sudden stomp of his right foot, Naito shattered the earth, sending debris flying as he hurtled towards the ground like a cannonball.

Crack!

A dense array of Haki electric arcs leaped from Naito's fist.

"Serious Punch!"

"Oh?"

Garp's eyes lit up. "Hahaha, did you gather all your Haki together?"

His mastery of Armament Haki is quite impressive.

Moreover, this punch had a distinct flavor of his signature Fist Bone.

Naito ignored Garp's words and stomped his foot heavily on the ground, shattering it and creating a huge crater.

Using this force, he twisted his waist and turned his body, throwing a truly all-out punch at Garp.

The air was distorted, instantly forming a shockwave visible to the naked eye, which exploded like white mist.

Boom!!

A full-force punch slammed into Garp's chest.
