One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 150: Movements of Various Parties (Part 2)!

Facing a group of powerhouses whose strength fluctuates around the top tier, who can guarantee the result until the very last moment? Besides, the first thing to consider in order to achieve a true annihilation is not how much military force to dispatch, but how to restrain the speed of the "Thor."

"Now you understand our difficulty. We cannot possibly send out the vast majority of our elite combat forces for a single pirate crew. If there were any major losses, who would protect the civilians in this era of rampant piracy? Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you may leave. After properly assessing the strength of the Red Nose Pirates, issue new wanted posters as soon as possible." After speaking, the blond man said no more.

Nodding, Sengoku and Kong both turned and left the palace where the Five Elders were.

After the two Fleet Admirals had left, the Five Elders began to talk amongst themselves.

"I never thought the strength of the Red Nose Pirates would exceed our expectations by so much. It's indeed very tricky," the bald man holding a sword was the first to speak.

"Who could have thought that Shiliew of the Rain, whose strength was inferior to Magellan's back then, would grow to this extent? Just one Devil Fruit caused such a change. Pirate Buggy's understanding of Devil Fruits is really beyond one's expectations," the elder with the full beard also nodded and said.

"Everyone, just as we discussed before, the risk of dealing with the Red Nose Pirates is too great. If a mistake is made, the losses would be unbearable even for us. Moreover, the current reputation of the Red Nose Pirates is not one-sidedly bad; it's more inclined towards a mix of good and evil. Without public pressure, we don't need to pay too much attention to them, but the necessary preparations must still be made," the blond man also spoke up after some thought.

"Yes, indeed. It's better to keep our focus on the Northeast and Southwest tunnels. After we've ensured the stability of these two tunnels, we can talk about other things," the elder with the three-pronged beard also nodded.

"You are all being optimistic too early. The things the Red Nose Pirates want to do are probably not over yet. This Pirate Buggy is not as simple as he seems. He will definitely bring us trouble, sooner or later," the elder with the eight-shaped mustache stood up after speaking and then walked towards the outside of the palace.

A new day began. On a certain sea in the East Blue, a small sailboat was slowly drifting forward with the current.

On the boat, a man was sitting on the side, holding a fishing rod in his hand. His head bobbed up and down from time to to time; it was unclear if he was fishing or dozing off.

Suddenly, the fishing rod moved. The man abruptly raised his head, but instead of lifting the rod, he looked up at the News Coo flying in the sky.

Placing the fishing rod aside, the man jumped down from the ship's rail and walked directly towards the descending News Coo.

Taking out a few coins and placing them in the small pouch around the News Coo's neck, the man took today's World Economic Journal from its beak.

Opening the journal, the first page was a full-page color picture with a commentary, narrating yesterday's great battle in the New World between the Red Nose Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

From the moment his eyes focused on the page, the man's mind was completely captivated, not even noticing the fishing rod beside him being dragged into the sea.

A long time later, the man who had finished reading the news looked up, then looked into the distance and murmured, "Challenging the world's number one, and a draw at that. Truly a strong man. But isn't this proof that one is alive?"

While the man was muttering to himself, on a certain island in the East Blue, with a dull thud, a fat wild boar was smashed in the head by a staff that fell from the sky.

Looking at the fallen boar, the figure holding the staff shook their head, then walked to the boar's side, dragged one of its legs, and headed towards the outskirts of the forest.

At this moment, the cry of a bird attracted the figure's attention. Looking up, they saw a copy of the World Economic Journal falling from the sky.

Reaching out and catching the falling newspaper, a crisp voice rang out, "If you airdrop it like this again next time, I will definitely complain and cancel my monthly subscription. The discount is so small, yet the service attitude is so much worse. Honestly."

As she spoke, the owner of the crisp voice opened the newspaper. After seeing the content on the first page, the hand holding the boar's hind leg unconsciously let go.

At this moment, the owner of the crisp voice was staring intently at the color picture in the newspaper. Printed on it were two warships with two headshots. One had a white, crescent-shaped mustache翹 (qiào - curling upwards), while the other had a particularly glaring red nose on his face.

After staring at the color picture for a long time, the owner of the crisp voice slowly moved their gaze downwards and began to read the content published in the newspaper word by word.

On January 23rd, Sea Circle year 1517, the former Warlord of the Sea, the great pirate Red-Nosed Buggy, led his Red Nose Pirates to Kugal Island in the New World of the Grand Line and engaged in a fierce battle lasting a day and a night with the Whitebeard Pirates, led by the head of the Four Emperors who has reigned over the New World for more than a decade, Whitebeard Edward Newgate.

According to inside sources, this confrontation was initiated by the Red Nose Pirates, adopting a one-on-one combat style where the members of the Red Nose Pirates faced off against the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The battle lasted for a day and a night. It was only after the battle ended that this reporter obtained definite news. The Red Nose Pirates had a total of twelve participants, including Captain Red-Nosed Buggy, and they fought twelve fierce battles with the Whitebeard Pirates, with two ending in a draw...

Half an hour later, the figure who had finally finished reading the entire newspaper gently rubbed their somewhat sore eyes, looked up at the distance, and said to themselves, "It's still not enough. I need to get even stronger."

On Drum Island in the Grand Line, Chopper was watching today's world news.

"Chopper, you look a little excited right now," Dr. Kureha had appeared beside Chopper at some unknown time and said lovingly.

Reflexively hiding the newspaper behind his back, and only after seeing Dr. Kureha's smiling face, did Chopper say embarrassedly, "Dr. Kureha, I... I just miss cow 1 and the Baboon and the others a little."

"It seems that sending you to the Red Nose Pirates to train for two years had a good effect. But Chopper, if you want to go out to sea, I won't object. But this pirate crew is not suitable for you. The situation they have to face is not something you can handle with your current strength. Wait patiently. One day, a pirate crew that can accommodate you will appear and invite you. Before that, for the sake of your future companions, study medicine diligently."

"Mm, I understand!" After replying, Chopper carefully placed the newspaper in his hand under his pillow.
