One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 81: Shocked to the Point of Madness!

In the year 1514, with the birth of a pirate crew called the "Red Nose," the entire world was dragged into a state of shock.

A pirate crew of only eight people actually dared to split into three groups and succeeded in annihilating the royal families of three renowned major kingdoms in the North Blue. The world was so shocked it was almost unbelievable.

But just as everyone felt the reports might be exaggerated, even more shocking news emerged. One of the three annihilated royal families had actually escaped at the time and even successfully waited for a Marine Admiral to come to the rescue. But it was all for naught. This pirate crew called the "Red Nose" actually came knocking on their door and, after repelling the Admiral, killed the last survivor.

Alright, the result of the incident was actually darkness triumphing over light, and evil defeating justice. No matter how you looked at it, the script was completely backward, wasn't it?

In the few days before the new year, the people of the entire world were dragged into a strange panic by this news. What did a Marine Admiral represent? Absolute justice! Now that even absolute justice had been defeated, the pirates would surely become even more rampant. Was our safety still guaranteed?

Ever since the opening of the Great Pirate Era, no new year had ever been spent so depressingly, without the slightest festive atmosphere.

Just when the Ox Bell had finally finished ringing its sixteen chimes to welcome the new year, a bastard named Dr. Indigo appeared. His appearance exposed the secret of the Red Nose Pirates, and he devised a fatal trap that would make all the world's powers work to eliminate them.

It could be said that in the first few days, almost everyone was grateful to this "Fart King" named Dr. Indigo, because his appearance had suppressed the Red Nose Pirates and might even lead to their disappearance.

With absolute evil gone, wouldn't justice rise once again? Wouldn't everyone be safe? Under this line of thought, the clever people of the world held a sense of gratitude towards Dr. Indigo.

But this gratitude lasted for less than three days before it was transformed into fury by another piece of news.

The captain of the Red Nose Pirates, Buggy, had actually succumbed to the pressure and directly reported his own secret to everyone through the newspapers.

Alright, logically speaking, no matter what this secret was, it should have been very distant from ordinary people. After all, it was a secret related to Devil Fruits.

But who could have thought that it was precisely because of this secret that the various powers, which were already restless, directly kicked off the prelude to a chaotic war.

The purpose was singular: to plunder Devil Fruit abilities.

And looking back, where were the Red Nose Pirates who had stirred up this chaos? They had actually evaporated from the face of the sea.

For a time, whether it was the world's weaker powers or the ordinary populace, they all absolutely hated the Red Nose Pirates with a passion.

But it was useless. The Red Nose Pirates had just vanished like that. Even the major powers had no news of them. The only thing known was that the last place this pirate crew appeared was Loguetown in the East Blue, and the last person Captain Buggy had contacted was a reporter named Rocks.

And subsequently, this reporter named Rocks also disappeared without a trace during an attack by a certain power on the Loguetown Marine base.

After six months of turmoil, just as the entire world was becoming more and more chaotic, a report appeared.

An article titled "The Miracle of the World, the Legendary Pirate Red Nose!" suddenly appeared in the World Economic Journal six months after the disappearance of the Red Nose Pirates, just as everyone was starting to forget about them.

After reading this article, the entire world was completely shocked to the point of madness.

The Holy Land Mary Geoise, the palace office of the Five Elders!

"This damn bastard! How could he? How dare he?"

"This is truly a disaster falling from the heavens while sitting at home! If I had known this earlier, I would have erased this madman and his pirate crew at any cost."

"How could we have imagined this? You must know, we made estimates for this project hundreds of years ago. Unless we took the lead, no other power could possibly complete it. Who would have thought that this damn pirate's ability would be so perfectly suited for it, and that he would actually be bored enough to do such a thing."

"Enough! Rather than denouncing him, let's think about how to respond. My suggestion is to seal up this tunnel."

"Sealing it is impossible. The whole world knows about it now. Even if we represent the World Government, the World Government does not represent the world. The significance of this tunnel is too great, so great that whoever tries to touch it will become a public enemy. Let's think of something practical, like dispatching sufficient forces to the Duchy of Destin in the East Blue to help them."

"What about the Kabas Kingdom in the North Blue?"

"Trying to eat it all alone will make you burst. The interests involved in this tunnel are too great. Even we cannot monopolize it. Securing the East Blue side is enough to maintain our influence. The other side must be given up, otherwise, we will never be at peace."

"What about the warning from the Red Nose Pirates? If we collect tolls, that madman will definitely do as he says."

"That's why we need to leave the North Sea for the other powers to squabble over. One, it creates a balance. Two, it diverts attention. As for the Destin side, we won't charge a tunnel fee, but can't we charge a road maintenance fee? You must know, the investment to build a road through the great forest of Destin is very large."

"Seconded."

"Agreed."

"I concur."

"That's a good idea. Have someone carry it out."

Excavating a tunnel connecting the East Sea and the North Sea, Buggy's purpose from beginning to end was only one: to have himself and the Red Nose Pirates be remembered by history. He absolutely did not do it to weaken the World Government.

If Buggy knew that the first thought of the Five Elders upon receiving this news was how to destroy him, he would definitely cry foul. But after crying, he would probably just find Rocks and leak a super-huge story.

As for the headline of the exposé, Buggy would probably have to choose carefully. After all, the World Government had quite a few secrets.

Fortunately, Buggy did not know this at the moment, and the Five Elders could temporarily avoid being bombarded again by sudden news.

At this moment, Buggy was standing on the bow of the "Thor," looking at the distant sea.

After leaving Destin, Buggy did not have Daz Bonez sail the "Thor" out of the East Blue. Because most of the people Buggy wanted to see were basically in the East Blue.

Having come to the world of One Piece, if he didn't even see the Straw Hat Pirates, wouldn't it be like not being a true man until one has been to the Great Wall?

Although the Straw Hat Pirates would be formed in a few more years, Buggy didn't want to wait that long. And Buggy also wanted to see just how exaggerated the crushing force of the wheels of history really was.

With this purpose in mind, the first stop Buggy chose after leaving Destin was the already infamous Arlong Park in the East Blue.
