One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 147: Rejection!

"What kind of change will a person like this bring to the pirate crew? That's the reason you need to consider, right?" Looking at Buggy, Mihawk also spoke up and asked.

"Actually, Captain, I think you're overthinking it. A person like this joining a pirate crew must be seeking something, but it's not necessarily aimed at our crew. This person's eyes hold a craving for strength. The fact that he could swim here from the sea shows that he's not an ability user yet. I wonder if he wants a certain fruit, which is why he hopes to join the pirate crew so the captain can help him find it?"

Shiliew, who had always given the impression that he never liked to think, had surprisingly started using his brain and even offered a statement that made Buggy's eyes light up. This instantly activated Buggy's thoughts.

And even Buggy had to admit, Shiliew's statement was very likely Teach's purpose.

Who could blame him, when the whole world knew that he had the deepest knowledge of Devil Fruits, and that he could also find some very powerful ones? Plus, his application of the Chop-Chop Fruit was completely different from a decade ago, even reaching the point where he could fight against Whitebeard.

All of this led Marshall D. Teach to the conclusion that following him was the most likely way for him to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, which then led to the incident of him suddenly leaving the Whitebeard Pirates to join his own crew.

Hmm, having more or less figured out the cause and effect of the matter, all that was left was how to view and handle this matter.

On this point, Buggy was in quite a bind.

If he let Teach join the pirate crew and then helped him get the Dark-Dark Fruit, would this guy run off with the fruit just like in the original story?

Obviously, this possibility existed. For Teach, no matter which pirate crew he joined, once he obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit, starting his own crew was probably a matter of sooner or later. If he didn't leave after getting the fruit, the situation would be even worse.

Letting such a white-eyed wolf who was destined to turn on him join his pirate crew was absolutely not an option. Buggy made this decision after a brief consideration.

But to just let Marshall D. Teach leave like this, Buggy felt that something was missing.

While drinking his soup and having Law check his injuries, Buggy was also contemplating.

By dinner time, everyone, including Marshall D. Teach, had arrived at the dining room. Buggy coughed lightly twice before the meal began.

All eyes immediately focused on Buggy.

"I am not a person who likes to procrastinate, so before we eat, I'll settle your matter first, Marshall D. Teach!" Seeing everyone looking at him, Buggy said directly, getting straight to the point.

After hearing Buggy's words, Marshall D. Teach's face was very calm. He just opened his mouth and asked, "Then what is your decision?"

"I won't agree," shaking his head, Buggy replied with great certainty.

"Is it because I just left the Whitebeard Pirates to come here?" Hearing the rejection, a bit of paleness appeared on Marshall D. Teach's calm face, and then he asked Buggy with some unwillingness.

"It's not because of that. It's because of your name, Marshall D. Teach!" Softening his tone a bit, Buggy replied faintly.

"Because of my name? What's wrong with my name?" Marshall D. Teach was a bit stunned at this moment. To be rejected just because of his name... what kind of damn reason was that?

"'D.' Those with this letter in their names are all descendants of the 'D' clan. This clan fought against the current Celestial Dragons nine hundred years ago. Although it's unclear what kind of astonishing deeds are recorded in the空白 (kòngbái - blank/void) history, there's no doubt that there will definitely be numerous traces of the 'D' clan. There's a saying that I estimate you've definitely never heard: the 'D' clan is called the natural enemy of the gods, and 'gods' is what the Celestial Dragons now call themselves. If you simply had this letter in your name, I wouldn't refuse you. In fact, we have a descendant of the 'D' clan on our ship. But you have ambition, the same as Monkey D. Dragon whom I met back then. You have a special ambition, so you are completely unsuitable to join my pirate crew."

After Buggy said all this, let alone Marshall D. Teach who was stunned, the other members were also stunned. After all, what Buggy was talking about at this moment was a true secret, a great secret that none of the members present could have access to.

Looking at Marshall D. Teach's expression, which went from shock to dejection, Buggy spoke again, "I definitely won't agree to you joining my pirate crew. But this doesn't mean we can't cooperate once. How about we use the Dark-Dark Fruit you want the most as the premise for our cooperation?"

Hearing these words, Marshall D. Teach suddenly raised his head, his eyes emitting an extremely dangerous light as he stared at Buggy.

Hmph!

Mm!

Eh!

"Are you courting death?!"

The one who spoke was Shiliew. The other three sounds came from Hancock, Mihawk, and Issho respectively.

"I know a lot about you, more than you can imagine. As the most special person on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, I've been watching you ever since Captain Roger was still around," Buggy was not moved at all by the dangerous gaze and said faintly, staring directly at Marshall D. Teach.

"Zehahahaha, to be noticed by the famous Captain Red-Nosed Buggy, I really don't know if I should be happy or sad. Captain Buggy, can you tell me what you know about me? I'd really like to know to what extent you understand me," Marshall D. Teach asked again with a trace of disbelief.

"Teach, your body can contain the abilities of two Devil Fruits without exploding, am I right?" Buggy suddenly dropped a huge bombshell.

"How is that possible?!"

"How do you know?"

Almost instantly, more than half of the people sitting at the table shot up. The difference was, Marshall D. Teach was staring at Buggy, while the others were staring at Marshall D. Teach.

"It's not just me who knows this; someone on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship also knows. And it's precisely because I know this that I said you wanted the Dark-Dark Fruit. Because among all the Devil Fruits, only the Dark-Dark Fruit is the most suitable for your constitution, am I right?" Buggy continued to ask.

"So that's how it is. That's right. I have always wanted to obtain this Logia fruit, which is known as the most evil among Devil Fruits," since Buggy had already said this much, Marshall D. Teach felt there was no need to deny anything anymore.

"Mm. And then let me guess, the other Devil Fruit you want should be the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, right?" Buggy dropped another huge bombshell.
