Chapter 165: A Chance Encounter at Sea
The day of Ace's execution was set for a week later, when the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were bound to set off a bloody storm, and on the eve of this storm, more than eighty percent of the people in the entire sea could not sleep soundly.
A few days ago, there was an incident in the Chambord Islands where Bucky the Clown beat the Draconians, although the yellow ape caught the "Fire Fist" Ace at that time, but the main culprit "Joker" Bucky escaped, so in order to give an explanation to the world government, he arrested other pirates on the island, and finally captured a total of about 500 pirates before retreating.
Because of the suddenness of this large-scale manhunt, many pirates who had already arrived in the Chambord Islands and planned to enter the New World did not even prepare their coatings, so they could only choose to temporarily leave the island to avoid the crisis and wander in the nearby waters, and only now did they return to the island.
At noon, in the sea near the Chambord Islands.
The Straw Hats' Golden Merry, the Bucky's BIG TOP, and the two pirate ships sailed together in the direction of the Chambord Islands at a distance.
After leaving the Terror Trimas, the people of the island split into three parts, and the people led by Laura headed by the city of the seven waters, just like their sea adventures; Luffy and Bucky and his party went to the Chambord Islands as planned, where they were going to buy a permanent pointer and coat the ship.
As for Stinger, Rogge, Rector and Flosha, the two cats naturally followed them, and took advantage of the BIG TOP to go to the Chambord Islands and Gildas round.
Out of friendship with Gildas, and also with the meaning of hugging the thigh of the Magus, Bucky gave them a convenient convenience, and entertained the two of them with delicious food and drink along the way.
"Bakisan, I don't understand the plan you made for Luffy before."
Although he was young but always careful, Rogge took the sketch that Bucky had drawn for everyone at that time, and walked to Bucky, who was drinking and counting gold in the treasure pile for a hundred years.
"What's wrong?" Bucky was drunk and didn't lift his head, as if he was already indulging in treasure.
Rogge spread out the sketch in front of him, pointed to the arrow representing the direction of the ocean current, and asked, "The direction of the ocean current on both sides of the gate of justice is outward, which means that it should not be so simple to enter the inner ring current from the bottom of the sea, right?" β
Bucky's eyes snapped aw, his hand counting the treasure trembled at the same time, and a gold coin fell on the deck and rolled out with a grunt, but he didn't have the heart to pick it up now, and just got up and looked at the sketch.
Looking at it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Okay...... It seems to be oh......"
It's over! I actually overlooked the most important place!!
If you think about it, if this triangular circulation could really be invaded so easily, it would not become the exclusive shipping channel of the navy, and the 'Gate of Justice' would not become an 'unavoidable level'!
If it doesn't work, then wouldn't all the coercion I pretended to be in front of the Straw Hat Boy be in vain?
In the original plot, the Whitebeard Pirates were able to break through the ocean current because they had fishmen in the pirates, and the fishmen could change the direction of the current, but Bucky's previous plan obviously didn't take this into account.
After perceiving the loophole in his plan, Bucky panicked instantly, and the drink he had just drunk turned into a cold sweat in his body, and a trace of guilt came from the bottom of his heart.
But soon this guilt was swallowed up by the black heart that made a lot of money, and he threw the sketch backwards and lazily lay on the pile of treasure extorted from Luffy: "No matter! Anyway, these treasures have already been obtained, and the method has been given to the straw hat boys, and it is their own business whether they can enter it when the time comes! β
"Besides, Impel is so dangerous, forcing a break is no different from looking for death, so don't go! This can be regarded as indirectly saving their lives, and they should thank me! β
Rogge patted Bucky's remaining treasure expressionlessly: "You collect so much money, but you don't help people get things done, do you have such a business?" β
Bucky sneered and said nonchalantly, "Please, I'm a pirate!" Not a businessman! What kind of honesty is it about? β
Saying that, Bucky controlled his right hand to fly out, picked up the gold coin that had just rolled out, put it in Rogge's hand, and said lightly: "This is for you, and then you don't have to say anything about it, when you don't find out what you do!" β
"If others know that my handsome plan just now won't work, it will have a great impact on my reputation!"
ββ¦β¦ You're too brazen, aren't you?! Rogge was directly shocked, looking at the hush money in his hand, the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
Bucky's appearance as the old god of the clothes was: "You're still too young, boy! When you see more in the future, you will know that pirates are so self-interested in this sea! β
"I mean...... A gold coin wants to send me away? You're underestimating my justice, aren't you? β
"Gotta add money!"
Now it was Bucky's turn to be shocked.
He opened his eyes and looked at this 14-year-old boy with a white and gloomy face in disbelief, and for the first time in his life, he felt like he was meeting an opponent in chess: "I feel that you have a lot of talent for being pirates, do you want to join my pirate group?" β
"Don't! I'm the sorcerer of Fairy Tail!! β
"Really? That's a shame! β
Three minutes later, Rogge returned to Florshe, a silly kitten with a bulging coat pocket, munching on freshly grilled fish fed by the pirates.
"How's it going, Rogge? Did Bakisan explain the strange things you just said about the plan? β
Stinger was also eating and drinking, completely unaware of the fact that he was an outsider.
With his sunny and hot-blooded personality, he easily mingles with the pirates, and because of his young age and strength, he is also very popular on ships.
Rogge flipped the weight in his pocket, and secretly sighed that he had really learned a lot of useful things from Kirasan: "Well, let's talk about this later......"
"Oh, okay then." Stinger clearly had no idea or interest in these things, and continued to bury his head in the bitter endeavor.
At this moment, a pirate crew member suddenly shouted.
"Captain Bucky, there's a pirate ship ahead!"
The lookout shouted three or four times in a row, and Bucky walked slowly to the bow of the boat and asked, "Do you know who it is?" β
"Judging from the pirate flag, the other party should be this year's supernova, Trafalgar Rowe, the 'dead doctor' from the North Sea and offering a bounty of 200 million Bailey!"
The pirate brother handed over a bounty list, Bucky glanced at it twice, compared the strength of the two, and felt that he should not be able to beat, so he turned his head and shouted: "Don't pay attention, we just have to go with ours!" β
"But ......"
"What's wrong?"
"They seem to be coming to us!!"
Bucky's face changed instantly: "What did you say?!" β
On the other side, on the Polar Diving, Captain Trafalgar Rowe was standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the BIG TOP not far away, his eyes revealing a deep interest.
"I didn't expect to meet the two of them here...... Sure enough, it was right not to enter the New World so early, but to wander around the seas around here! β
Crew member Pekin looked puzzled: "Captain, why do you want to meet them so much?" β
Luo hugged the 'Demon Knife' and cried, leaned on the side of the ship, and said with amusement: "That is the first person in hundreds of years who dared to fight the Tianlong people on the street, don't you want to see what kind of person it is?" β
"I'm interested, but I think it's likely to get into big trouble......"
"Is it troublesome...... Perhaps, but that's what adventures at sea are all about! Are you sure you don't go? β
"Not at all!"
"I'm going to sail again!"
Luo smiled: "Then I'll go by myself!" ROOMοΌ β
I saw that with five fingers on his right hand, he released a light blue surgical field out of thin air, enveloping the Polar Diving and the BIG TOP in it, and then looked into the distance, selected a small pebble on the opponent's ship, and cast one of the abilities of the 'surgical fruit'.
Space Displacement!
In the blink of an eye, Luo was already on the BIG TOP.
Seeing a person suddenly appear on the ship, the members of the Bucky Pirates were shocked and frightened, and they all got up and looked at Luo who was leaning on the side of the boat, their eyes full of vigilance.
"How did you get up? What do you want to do?! β
"Don't be careless!! This guy has a bounty of 200 million Baileys, and he doesn't know how many people he has cut, so I think it's better to let Captain Bucky do it......"
"Huh?? Oh!! That's right, Captain Bucky, it's up to you!! β
"Captain Bucky, give him a good look!!"
ββ¦β¦β
Originally, this group of pirates was worried that this fanatic with a bounty of 200 million would slaughter them like chopping melons and vegetables, but when they saw Luo holding a knife in his hand, they immediately relieved their hearts.
Since he is a swordsman, he will be defeated by Captain Bucky!
Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise, and secretly thought to himself: 'These guys...... Obviously not very strong, but he is not afraid of me at all? Could it be that they have plenty of confidence in their captain?! There was no reaction from Bucky's master...... Are you accustomed to this situation? β
Thinking of this, he looked at Bucky with a little more scrutiny: 'That's funny! Isn't it easy for someone to do that kind of big thing? I'd like to see how strong this guy really is!! β
"Don't be so nervous, Bucky is in charge, I have no ill will!"
"Introduce yourself, I'm Trafalgar Rowe, and I'm a pirate!"
Luo's eyes kept looking at Bucky, he couldn't see that Bucky had the aura of a strong man at all, and subconsciously thought that the other party had reached the realm of sending and receiving momentum freely.
"I'm just here to say hello this time, and by the way, let's see what kind of person you are who made a big fuss about the Chambord Islands, beat up the Draconians, evaded the pursuit of the admiral, and made us pirates embarrassed."
