One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 145: The One and Only!

Of course, compared to Whitebeard, Buggy was a beat slower. As a result, before Buggy could even escape the range of the black hole, he felt its terrifying suction force just before it disappeared.

Without any hesitation, Buggy turned around and threw a full-power punch at the air behind him. His feet pushed off the ground backwards, and he narrowly escaped the danger zone in an instant.

A while later, the black hole disappeared, and along with it, an even larger area of the ground vanished without a trace.

"I surrender."

Buggy's voice rang out when Whitebeard least expected it.

This left Whitebeard, who was preparing to continue, quite stunned.

He could understand why Buggy didn't want to continue fighting. Anyone who was seriously injured would be unwilling to continue fighting if they had the option not to. This was human instinct, the nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.

But what was with that smarmy grin on his face? The obnoxious smile on Buggy's face right now, the kind that made you want to kick it a few times, made Whitebeard feel quite uncomfortable.

Just a moment ago, his face full of fighting spirit looked the part. How did his expression, in the blink of an eye, remind him of the little brat from ten or twenty years ago who used to boast about taking his head?

And his current appearance was even worse than before.

Seeing the excited Buggy turn and prepare to leave, Whitebeard suddenly spoke up, "Stop!"

"What's wrong, Whitebeard? Didn't I just say I surrender?" At this moment, Buggy had no mind to waste words on Whitebeard and looked completely unconcerned.

"In your hand... what was that thing you desperately risked injury to obtain just now?" Whitebeard asked at this moment, quite curious.

"You saw it?" Buggy turned around, a little surprised.

"In my Observation Haki's perception, you reached out and grabbed something. Am I right?" Whitebeard was genuinely a little curious, because he couldn't figure out what could possibly need to be obtained under those circumstances. And at the place where they had just fought, there didn't seem to be anything worth obtaining.

"If anyone else had asked, I definitely wouldn't have told them. But without your help, it would have been impossible to obtain this thing. So I'll tell you. This thing is called a space fragment, a product of space being shattered," as he spoke, Buggy revealed the thing he was clenching tightly in his hand.

Looking at the thing in Buggy's hand, how should one put it? Whitebeard felt it had a natural, ethereal feeling. But apart from that feeling, the space fragment in Buggy's hand didn't look special at all.

Its surface was pitted and its color was grayish. No matter how you looked at it, it was completely unremarkable. But when combined with that natural feeling, it strangely made one feel that it was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

"What's this thing for?" Whitebeard continued to ask.

"The one and only treasure in the world. Isn't that enough to highlight its use?" Buggy asked Whitebeard in return.

"You're not the type to care about value," Whitebeard shook his head and said to Buggy.

"Being the one and only is its use. As a proposal gift, I don't think anything has more value than the one and only thing I personally obtained," as Buggy said this, his expression was quite proud.

However, Whitebeard's expression was not good at all.

At this moment, Old Man Whitebeard finally understood what Buggy's smile was all about. He also began to understand that the item in Buggy's hand was probably an extremely important reason for this challenge.

Although he didn't understand how Buggy knew the method to obtain space fragments, the fact that he had been used was a certainty.

Whether it was abolishing the Warlord system or the so-called space fragment, as for Buggy's claim of challenging the strongest, Whitebeard even felt it was just an excuse.

But for some reason, Whitebeard did not feel angry. Shaking his head, he said nothing more and instead strode towards the Moby Dick.

Buggy, who was being stared at, finally felt a sense of relief.

In any case, Buggy understood that Whitebeard had definitely guessed that he had used him. Anger should have been a certainty. It was for this reason that Buggy had been on high alert after speaking.

Fortunately, Old Man Whitebeard was probably tired from the fight and wanted to go home; he didn't hold it against him. This allowed Buggy to breathe a sigh of relief.

"This time, we'll call it a draw," just as Buggy was preparing to leave, Whitebeard, who had already walked a great distance, suddenly turned his head, and these words floated over.

"The current me is still a little bit weaker than you. I'm very clear on this point. I owe you one for this. I'll pay you back in the future," looking at Whitebeard's back, Buggy sighed softly to himself.

He didn't know that Whitebeard, who was striding away, had the corners of his mouth slightly turned up in a smile after he had said this.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Buggy walked back towards the "Thor" with a relaxed mood.

With that, the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Nose Pirates was completely over, ending in a draw!

The news spread throughout the world in just half a day. For the entire world, this was one of the most significant events since the opening of the great and turbulent Pirate Era. But what no one knew was that this event triggered a series of other events. These events had immeasurably profound significance and would be listed as legendary deeds in the future and even further into the future. As the source of a series of events, this incident was destined to be a super-major event that would leave a heavy mark on the history of pirates.

However, at this moment, neither Whitebeard nor Buggy could have predicted what profound impact this so-called duel, which neither side had taken too seriously, would bring.

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard, who had returned to the ship first, was not in a relaxed mood at all at this moment. Instead, he was looking at the person before him—Marshall D. Teach—with a particularly complex expression.

"Have you decided?" Whitebeard asked Teach in a tone that suggested he had long expected this but was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Yes, Pops. I have decided to leave," kneeling before Whitebeard, Teach kowtowed and then spoke.

The determination on his face, whoever saw it would understand that this guy was dead set on leaving.

"You may go!" Without asking why, Whitebeard sat on his seat and waved his hand.

"Pops, I'm leaving!" Teach was also very decisive. After speaking, he stood up directly and then walked towards the ship's rail.

"Teach, why?" Whitebeard didn't ask, but that didn't mean Marco wouldn't.

"A dream that was difficult to achieve on the Whitebeard Pirates has a new hope. Do you think I, who have waited for more than a decade, will continue to wait?" Teach didn't even turn his head back, just continued to move forward as he spoke.

"Do you think you can achieve it in the Red Nose Pirates?" Marco said with some anger.
