Chapter 21: Deal

"Demolish the building!"-Pecco grin

Pecco's mens come forward with weapons and move toward the restaurant. Mantis have a horror look on her face, and she move to stand in front of her restaurant.

"YOU WON'T DEMOLISH ANYTHING TONIGHT. IF YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY RESTAURANT, THEN YOU NEED TO DEFEAT ME FIRST!"-Mantis

"How is it, boss?"-Toti

"Just catch her, pecco~!"-Pecco

The thugs then grin and about to attack Mantis, when suddenly,

*BANG*

A gunshot is heard, and a thug fall on the ground. They all stopped and look at the source of the shot. It's Cricket who shot his flintlock to a thug on his right side.

"Oioioi, don't ignore us like that! We're lonely you know."-Buggy

"Y-you..."-Toti's hand trembled while he point at Buggy & Cricket

"What? Never see someone get killed before? Well, don't worry, i didn't kill him just now. But he will die if you don't treat him, so it will be your fault if he didn't make it."-Cricket smirk

The other thugs tremble after seeing their friend got shot, and hear Cricket's words.

"Bastard, just who are you?"-Pecco is angry

"Pirates. Now, you know who you're facing with."-Buggy

"If you're not afraid of death, then come!"-Cricket

The thugs seem hesitant, and many of them back off. Pecco grit his teeth seeing his mens backing off. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"DON'T BE AFRAID! Did you forget who is standing behind our back, pecco~?"-Pecco

"Ah!? He's right, we have them behind us, we don't need to be afraid."-Toti

"Them?"-Buggy

"Hehehe, we have the Great Mafia behind our back, Red Hammer."-Toti

".... Who?"-Buggy

"Red Axe Gang, a Mafia group with total of 50 million beri on their head. Leader 'Red Axe' Visco have 35 million beri on his head. His mafia group is famous for their weapon, axes, which will turn red from their enemy's blood, hence the name Red Axe. His right-hand man 'Chainsaw' Taki have 15 million, and he use nail gun like a pistol."-Mantis

".... Are they a mafia group or lumberjack group?"-Buggy

"PFFT, HAHAHAHA, THEY CERTAINLY USE WOOD CUTTING TOOLS SO THEY LOOKS LIKE ONE."-Cricket

"DON'T LAUGH! They're a strong group and have done many bad & cruel deeds in the past. They're one of the biggest mafia on North Blue, and also these guys' backer."-Mantis

"Because my crew's health is important. We don't know what will happen on the sea, and we can get sick anytime. Good food with balanced nutrition will make us healthier & stronger, and good food come from a good cheff."-Buggy

"Tch, i said i don't like pirates, right? Even if you pay my debt, i won't be a pirate. I will pay my debt slowly to you."-Mantis

"You shouldn't judge everyone with black & white, lady! You shouldn't judge all pirates to be the same and hate them all. You don't even know me pesonally, so how could you hate me just because i'm a pirate?"-Buggy

"That's-"-Mantis

"Wait! Let's continue this talk later, the guest have come."-Buggy

A group of people in black dress suits walk toward them. Buggy look at them, and count that there are roughly 50 people there. In front of them is a fat man in red leather suit and wear red leather hat. He ride a big black dog that growl all the time.

"Wisco."-Mantis have a disgusted expression

"Oh my beloved Mantis, you're still beautiful like usual. It seem now you will really be my bride, darling."-Wisco

"Tch, in your dream!"-Mantis

"Aah~, that disgusted expression, i can't have enough of it. It will be very exciting to tame you, a~h~."-Wisco have perverted expression

Buggy is flabbergasted, and he look at Mantis while pointing at Wisco.

"Don't ask!"-Mantis

".... Okay."-Buggy

"So you're the one who will pay her debt? You look poor, can you really pay it?"-Wisco

"Well, just wait and- Ah, you don't need to wait, the money is here."-Buggy

Cricket have arrived with a black case filled with money. Cricket give it to Buggy, and Buggy check it. He nod and throw the case in front of Wisco. Wisco check it, and he click his tongue.

"7 million, cash. Now our business end here, so get lost!"-Buggy grin

"I refuse it! She need to pay the debt by herself."-Wisco throw the money case back

"Sigh, so that's what you want."-Buggy

"What should we do, Captain?"-Cricket

"What else, we finish what we started."-Buggy grin

"Sounds good to me."-Cricket also grin
