One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 148: A Common Goal!

After hearing Buggy's words, all eyes in the dining room focused on Marshall D. Teach, but these gazes were not the least bit friendly.

Because in the world of pirates, betrayal is a great taboo, not to mention killing one's master.

"Zehahahahahaha, Red-Nosed Buggy, it is only at this moment that I truly admire you. Amazing, truly amazing, absolutely amazing. But you haven't said it quite right. Before you fought Whitebeard, that was what I was considering. But after this battle, I think your ability is not bad either," Marshall D. Teach, ignoring the looks of the others who were ready to make a move, directly said these words.

"Hahahaha, it's a pity that you would never have designs on my ability, right?" Buggy said with great confidence.

"Zehahahaha, Captain Buggy, you really are amazing. Indeed, I would not have designs on you," nodding, Marshall D. Teach admitted it readily.

"Is it because of us?" Hancock asked, staring at Marshall D. Teach with an exceptionally gloomy face.

How could that be? As long as I get the Dark-Dark Fruit, none of you will be my opponent.

Hmm, if possible, Marshall D. Teach really wanted to say this sentence directly, but he knew even better in his heart that at this moment, he should act subservient, not arrogant.

So, facing Hancock, Marshall D. Teach replied like this: "Actually, I never intended to take the Chop-Chop Fruit. I don't have Captain Buggy's patience to spend more than a decade improving a fruit's ability. I need something that can have an immediate effect, like Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

"You're really not a good person," Betty instantly stood up in displeasure and then left the dining room, looking as if her appetite had been completely ruined.

"Well, now that you know my purpose, do you still plan to cooperate with me?" Marshall D. Teach stared at Buggy and asked.

"Cooperate? Why not cooperate? What I want is also one of your goals. There's a complete opportunity for cooperation," nodding, Buggy replied very seriously.

"Then may I know what exactly Captain Buggy wants?" Marshall D. Teach was very curious about this and really wanted to figure out what common goal he and the man before him had.

"To overthrow the World Government!"

Cough, cough, cough!

Hearing these words from Buggy, Marshall D. Teach hadn't even shown any expression when the others present were all struck dumb with shock.

"Everyone, don't get excited. After you hear me out, you'll understand. Actually, all along, I have been considering overthrowing the World Government. As for the reason, it's actually very simple. It's just because with this government around, our deeds will definitely be erased by a few old undying fellows after we're gone. I have no doubt about the shamelessness of these old guys. But overthrowing the World Government is too much trouble. Not just you all, but I'm not interested in doing it either. Under such circumstances, finding a representative with enough ambition to dominate or liberate the world, and with sufficient strength, becomes very crucial. In the North Blue battle, we didn't gain any spoils of war, not because we found it troublesome to move the money, but actually to leave enough supplies for Monkey D. Dragon's Revolutionary Army. It can be considered a form of indirect sponsorship."

Hearing Buggy say this, everyone except Marshall D. Teach let out a sigh of relief, because overthrowing the World Government, just as Buggy said, was really too much trouble.

"Then your willingness to help me get the Dark-Dark Fruit is also a form of sponsorship? Aren't you afraid that I'll be like the Five Elders and, after achieving final victory, erase any record of you from history?" Marshall D. Teach understood Buggy's meaning.

"Of course it's considered sponsorship. As for being worried, only the current Five Elders can make me worry. If you can succeed, it proves that I can play the Five Elders to death through you, so naturally, I can play you to death through others. Of course, if it really comes to that, I don't mind making a move myself. You should understand that I, who am familiar with the abilities of most Devil Fruits, definitely have ways to counterbalance these abilities. And these abilities include the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit. You can take my words as advice, or you can take them as a warning. It's all up to you. But remember, when you make a deal with me, once the deal is made, you must absolutely not break it. This is the bottom line of our deal, and also the line between life and death," with a stern look in his eyes, Buggy's tone was filled with a thick threat.

But Marshall D. Teach didn't care. On the contrary, he found Buggy's tone very agreeable.

In this, Marshall D. Teach was definitely not a masochist or anything of the sort. It was just that the more Buggy's tone was like this, the more it represented that Buggy cared about this deal.

This way, Marshall D. Teach could get more things from Buggy.

"Do you also have a deal with Dragon?" Nodding, Marshall D. Teach asked Buggy.

"Actually, you shouldn't ask about this kind of thing, and I don't have to tell you. But it's nothing to tell you. The answer is no. Dragon is different from you, and also different from the Five Elders. He is not someone I need to worry about. I also have no need to specifically make a deal. You are a variable, and at the same time, an insurance."

Buggy's meaning was very clear: Making a deal with you is only because of your sudden appearance. Since you've appeared, supporting you a little can be considered buying insurance. Life isn't just about having a Plan A; adding a Plan B, C, and D is also completely acceptable.

"Then when can you get the Dark-Dark Fruit for me?" Having waited for more than a decade, and now that an opportunity was finally within reach, Marshall D. Teach seemed quite impatient.

"Don't be anxious. Before my plan is complete, you'll just have to stay on the ship and act as a member of the Red Nose Pirates for now. This can also be considered a form of sponsorship, a sponsorship of reputation. In some special matters, there is a world of difference between being unknown and being famous. Believe me, one day you will definitely need the prestige that the Red Nose Pirates bring," on this point, Buggy was full of confidence.

"Since you've said so, I'll stay on the ship for a while then. I'll have to trouble you all to take care of me," nodding, Marshall D. Teach didn't say much more and once again switched to his low-key mode.

"Paula, call Betty over. Let's eat!" After speaking, Buggy began to eat with great relish.

And while Buggy and the others were feasting, the World Economic Journal had already typeset the results of the great battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Nose Pirates, just waiting for dawn to have the News Coos deliver it to the entire world.

However, this did not mean that no one knew about the news of the great battle between the two pirate crews. On the contrary, many powers knew. The major powers of the New World, the World Government, the Marines, and the major powers of the four seas—East, West, North, and South—had all basically received the news from the New World within half a day after the battle ended.
