One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 84: Why Didn't You Kill Me!

"You're not worthy. I'm just here to clean up the scum." After speaking, Buggy's eyes widened, and an invisible wave instantly spread towards the shore.

With a series of thuds, a large number of the fish-men following Arlong collapsed. The only ones left standing were Arlong, Hatchan, Chew, and Kuroobi.

"Conqueror's Haki." Feeling a chill run up his spine, Arlong, who had experienced a lot with the Sun Pirates, was no stranger to Haki.

Ignoring the remaining four fish-men completely, Buggy said to Law, "Kill all of them, except for Octopus Hatchan."

"Understood. ROOM!" Nodding, Law instantly expanded his ability's space.

Before arriving at Arlong Park, Law had asked Buggy and Mihawk what to watch out for when fighting fish-men.

Buggy didn't know what advice Mihawk had given Law, but Buggy's advice had one point: don't let the fish-men get into the sea.

In terms of strength, the current Law would have no problem taking on the entire Arlong Pirates crew by himself. The only concern was the fish-men escaping into the sea and using the water for cover to get away.

That's why Buggy had advised him to be sure to prevent the fish-men from entering the sea. This was the reason Law had activated his ability space from the very beginning. In any case, as long as they were within his ability space, Law could move their positions at any time. If they wanted to escape, they would have to rely on luck.

Of course, even if they escaped Law's space, they couldn't possibly escape Daz Bonez's ability range. Having cornered Arlong's group at their doorstep, plowing through the seawater in this area with lightning was a trivial matter for Daz Bonez.

But would Law give Daz Bonez the chance to act? The answer was certain: he definitely would not.

While expanding his ability space, Law directly drew Yubashiri and then began to slash wildly at the four fish-men still standing on the shore.

It didn't take much time at all to cut the four fish-men into several pieces, leaving them floating in the space.

"Nami, go get your revenge. They can't resist anymore." Retracting his ability and looking at the few fish-men on the shore whose limbs, heads, and bodies were all separated, Law handed his Yubashiri to Nami and said faintly.

"Same thing as before, you can't kill Octopus Hatchan!" After Nami took Yubashiri, Buggy spoke and then had Paula take Nami to the shore.

The following scene was a bit bloody.

After Nami had finished her revenge, Hatchan twisted his head and asked Buggy, "Nyuu, Great Pirate Buggy, why didn't you kill me?"

"Of course, it's because you saved Rayleigh. Uncle Rayleigh and I were both members of the Roger Pirates' crew. Uncle Rayleigh even taught me a lot about Haki training. How could I possibly kill my Uncle Rayleigh's lifesaver?" Not intending to hide anything, Buggy answered Hatchan's question very frankly.

"Nyuu, how did you know I saved Rayleigh? Did Rayleigh tell you?" Hatchan continued to ask, very surprised.

"Of course!" Buggy wasn't lying about this. Back when he was being mentored by Rayleigh, Buggy had intentionally or unintentionally brought up this topic and had received an affirmative answer.

"Alright, Law, put his body back together and let him leave. Hatchan, this time, out of respect for Rayleigh, I won't kill you. But don't linger in the East Blue. Go back to the Grand Line."

Hearing this, Hatchan didn't say any more. He just glanced sadly at his fallen comrades in the pool of blood, then turned and jumped into the sea.

"Paula, come back. We're done here, let's leave too." After speaking, Buggy turned and prepared to return to the ship's cabin.

"Wait!" After finishing her revenge, Nami, her eyes full of tears, suddenly called out.

Turning his head, Buggy said nothing, just looked at Nami.

"I... can I..." Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning Nami wanted to express was somewhat surprising to Buggy.

After a moment of thought, Buggy slowly said, "One month. Hancock, you all will stay here for one month. During this time, you properly guide Nami's training. Starting with Hawkins, my ship no longer needs weaklings who lack strength. It's too much trouble to train them. If you want to join, even if you haven't mastered Haki, you can't be too weak. Hancock will teach you for a month. If you truly have the aptitude, then when we meet again, if you still want to join us, I will invite you. But if you can't master Haki, don't mention this matter again."

"Brother Buggy, you won't be here for this month?" Hancock sensitively picked up the other layer of meaning in Buggy's words.

"Yes. The next place I'm going to is a bit sensitive. I can't let others know I've been there, so I can't let you all come with me, especially since the 'Thor' is too conspicuous. So you all will stay here and wait for me for a month. I will definitely return after a month," Buggy nodded and replied.

"Captain, do you need to hide the 'Thor'?" Daz Bonez asked before Buggy set off.

"Do you have confidence in yourself and your comrades?" Buggy asked Daz Bonez in return.

"Yes!"

"Then what are you asking for? While we did a big bad thing, we also did a big good thing. For a pirate crew like ours that is neither good nor evil, it's already good enough that we don't go looking for trouble with others. If someone dares to come looking for trouble with us, and if they really do, we'll just kill them!"

After speaking with a smile, Buggy turned and entered the cabin. A while later, the Buggy who came out again had changed his attire. If Monet were here, she would definitely recognize the outfit as the one Buggy wore when he walked between the great seas. Soaring into the sky, Buggy quickly disappeared over the distant horizon.

A day later, in Syrup Village in the East Blue, on his way into the village, Buggy happened to see Usopp, wearing a pirate bandana and shouting that pirates were coming.

For this kid who would be deified as a "God" in the future, Buggy felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, the catalyst for his deification—Sugar—had been taken out early by Daz Bonez under his own instructions.

Standing on a tree, Buggy looked at Usopp who had already run into the village. After pondering for a moment, he finally jumped down from the tree and then swaggered towards the village.

At this moment, the villagers were playing a game of chase with Usopp. However, when the few people running in front saw Buggy, they all stopped in their tracks.

But Usopp, in high spirits, was still running towards Buggy. Of course, at this moment, Usopp's head was not looking forward but was constantly turned to look behind him. While looking, he kept making various funny faces.

Ever since his mother passed away, little Usopp had maintained this daily routine. He had walked the path to the village countless times and wouldn't make a mistake even with his eyes closed, so naturally, he didn't need to look ahead.

It wasn't until he felt he had bumped into something that his head finally turned around, and he looked at the man before him.
