Chapter XVII: The Dispute of Kings
"Don't!"
"Gu Xing!"
Kirby jerked up and sat up, waking up with cold sweat on his forehead
"Was it a dream..."
"Whew~"
Ignoring the fading dream, Kirby patted the dust on his shoulder and extinguished the stove beside him
"Let's go, it's time to go find them!"
Shaking his clothes and feeling his coat completely dry, Kirby muttered to himself
"It's been completely killed, it should have been a long time..."
"Luffy, Zoro, where are you?"
"Sorry, owners. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Gently closed the door, and the still empty house, in addition to a pile of black charcoal, there was also a lack of bread and water, all of which were carried by Kirby
Despite his current status as a pirate, Kirby retains his old habits
"The sky is unpredictable, I didn't expect that I also had a time to steal..."
A sip of water, a mouthful of bread, Kirby just followed the town's path, all the way forward
Once you've passed through town, you'll probably be able to meet them on the other side of the coast
Measuring in his heart, Kirby quickened his pace
There was a chilling sensation on his forehead, accompanied by a slight itch
Maybe it's because the gauze has fallen off, and even though it's raining and the weather is clear, a slight tingling sensation still keeps coming
"I hope I don't look too ugly right now... Haha..."
Laughing at himself, Kirby began to look at the town in front of him
Maybe it's really because the townspeople in the town have mysteriously disappeared, in short, Kirby, who has been walking alone on the street for half a day, has not even seen a single shadow
"It's so weird..."
"Where have all the people in this town gone..."
Hm... It's okay, let's find them first!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Just as Kirby was scurrying around the town like a headless fly, there was a loud sound that broke through the sky!
"What's that..."
Kirby stared in surprise at the devastating tunnel that was close at hand, and opened his mouth wide in surprise
This-
Is there a war going on here?!
Following Kirby's gaze, I saw an aisle pierced by heavy artillery blasting through a row of houses and exploding at the tail end!
The powerful artillery, just by physical impact, left a bullet hole in the wall as long as a foot wide, which looked terrifying!
A lot of wood chips had already splashed on Kirby's body, and there was a sting pain in the wound on his forehead
"Shhhh
What's going on over there!
[The most dangerous place is the safest place]
Kirby's eyesight was not bad, and he was also quite bold, so he ran to stand in the long tunnel bombarded by the shells, and watched along the entrance of the cave for a while
Along the broken hole, I saw a huge heavy cannon aimed at the street here, the caliber was about the thickness of two human heads, and from a distance, you could feel the smell of gunsmoke
Thick white smoke was rising from the muzzle of the gun, apparently having just fired a shot and still needed to be reloaded
And following the direction of the moving muzzle, Kirby was stunned to find that the guy he was looking for was actually there!
Luffy!
"That guy, how did he run to such a dangerous place!"
"Damn! I've got to save him!"
Luffy's location doesn't look like a calm place by any means
Five-flower tie, the thickness of the baby's arm is an iron prison
All kinds of clues unanimously point to one result.
This guy was captured by another pirate group?!
Sky!
Although Kirby has only been in this world for a short time, he can also recognize that the flag hanging high in that high position is not a pirate flag, what else can it be?!
On the black pirate flag, the pattern is extraordinary, the miserable white skull is inlaid with a big red nose in the center, and from a distance, it looks like a funny clown!
"Clown Pirates?!"
Has this town been occupied by this pirate group?
"Hmm..."
Kirby frowned, his eyes locked on the pirates on the high ground
"Looks like we're going to have to hurry..."
[Wait for me, Luffy!]
...
Eyes turned to the other corner
The Bucky Pirates, the highlands of a seaside town
Luffy was looking at the cannon aimed at him with a confused expression, and turned his gaze to the woman holding the matchbox on the side
"What, you guy!"
The orange-haired woman on the side was also stunned, she didn't expect that after betraying this guy, she would cause such serious consequences
"Wait... Wait a minute, Lord Bucky! Even if he stole the charts of the Great Passage, there would be no need to kill them all! Look, haven't the charts been returned a long time ago?!"
The woman nervously pointed to the nautical chart on Bucky's waist and said with a panicked expression
"Besides, I've already taken refuge in you, didn't you say you were going to give me a welcome party, such a happy day, seeing blood, but it's terrible, you say yes, uh hehe..."
The orange-haired woman tried to put on a surprised look and persuaded the man in front of her
The man muffled slightly, then burst out laughing
"Hahaha!!!"
"Ahh!!!h
"What are you talking about, Nami-!"
"It's because it's your welcome party that we're holding this important ceremony!"
"If you don't kill your boss in the past, how do I know if you're bent on me, right, little beauty?"
The man in clown makeup looked at the woman in front of him with a flirtatious expression, and her anxious expression was exactly what he wanted to see
[Watching the fire from the other side, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?]
[Hehe, cute guy, you're still too young!]
"Hurry up and let the brothers see the moment when his brains are splashing!"
"My special bucky bomb will definitely make him happy!"
The man urged, sat down on the chaise longue again, and suddenly straightened up again
"Or - did you try to lie to me before?"
Shaking the old drawings in his hand, the man looked at the panicked Nami with a playful face, and was in a happy mood
"Hahaha, just kidding!"
"Don't think about it so much! With the ability of Bucky Bullet and my Devil Fruit, the only one who will dominate the Great Passage in the future is I, Lord Bucky!"
"And everyone else will be a foil!"
"Go, Nami!" Bucky looked at Nami with a smile on his face, already imagining what it would be like to cover her underneath
"We pirates need navigators like you, and I'm sure you won't let me down, right?"
“......”
Clenching the matchbox at a loss, she didn't dare to open it for a long time, and Nami was struggling in pain at this moment
[Sure enough, are all pirates such murderous people!]
[Damn!]
[If I don't fire, I'll die, if I fire, I'll be their kind!]
[Damn!] [Damn!] [Damn!]
"What do you say, Rednose!"
Just when Nami was hesitating, the voice from the side attracted everyone's attention
"What! what do you call me!"
Bucky bounced off his chair as if he had been stepped on by his tail and glared at Luffy
"Kind of you say it again?!"
Bucky hates people talking about his nose the most, especially calling him a clown!
If you are a clown, what do those who are killed deserve to be called?
"I said—"
Luffy suddenly showed a confident smile and tilted his head
"I'm going to dominate the Great Voyage in the future, but I'm the man who wants to be the King of the Pirates!"
