Chapter 49: Marine's Disturbance

Chapter 49: Marine's Disturbance

Buggy decides to stay on Toroa for 5 days. The reason isn't just to wait & search for Robin, but also for his crewmates. They need to enjoy some time on the land, not just sailing on the sea every day.

Toroa is a rather big town, so they can enjoy themselves here. They have money, so they can spend some in here. Money is made to be enjoyed, not just to be kept.

However, they can only enjoy their calm & slow life moment for a day. The next day after they arrived on Toroa, a Marine Unit appear. Even worse, the Marine Unit sees their ship when they arrive.

"Tch, just when I want to relax, big trouble arrived. Why won't they find us while we're sailing? Sigh, so troublesome."-Buggy

"Well, we're in a big town, so their spies must've found us."-Mantis

"Sigh, it seems we can't stay here any longer. Prepare to sail! We can try to get Robin at another time."-Buggy

"AYE AYE!"-Cricket

"Eh, why? Can't we just defeat them to solve the problem?"-Jude

"No, it won't solve the problem, it will just make the problem worse. If we defeat this unit, the Marine Base will send a stronger unit or even some units. There will be no end if we keep fighting them."-Buggy

"Oh, it's really a big problem then."-Jude

They prepare their ship to sail and they're ready to fight anytime. The Marine ship also keeps getting closer to them, and now they can see who's unit is that. Buggy look at the marine leader in that unit, and grin.

"Rear Admiral on West Blue, Diez Barrels, huh? This will be interesting."-Buggy grin

Buggy has investigated every important Marine officer on West Blue. One such officer is Diez Barrels, a Rear Admiral. What makes Buggy interested is that this guy will be a pirate in the future, he is X-Drake's father.

"You know him, Captain?"-Jude

"Yeah, he is one of 5 Rear Admirals on West Blue. Rear Admiral is the highest rank on Blues, so his unit must be rather strong too. This will be a good exercise for us."-Buggy

"Captain, everything's ready, we can sail now."-Cricket

"Wait! Let's play with them from here. Jude, let me show you how to utilize your devil fruit."-Buggy

Buggy goes to the ship's railing and faces the incoming Marine ship. The Marines on the battleship look at Buggy confusedly.

"They don't want to run?"-Marine 1

"I don't know, maybe that guy want to defend the ship?"-Marine 2 point at Buggy

"Is he stupid? Did he think just because he has 50 million bounty, he has become invincible?"-Marine 3

"Don't think too much about it! If he wants to die, then we will give him that. Get closer and bombard them!"-Diez

""Yes!""-Marines

"When did she start dancing?"-Cricket

"I don't know, she just cooks every day right?"-Buggy

Buggy & Cricket are stunned at Mantis' dance-like fighting style. They are too surprised by this that they let their guard down and almost get hit. But luckily, Jude use her ash to block the attacks.

"Captain, Cricket-san, please don't let your guard down!"-Jude

"Oh, sorry about that."-Buggy

"Yeah, we're just too surprised."-Cricket

They continue their battle, and now Jude also gets better in her fight & devil fruit usage. She mainly just use her ash to hit by making them into balls. She also ignores defense, as the enemies can't touch her without haki.

It's okay for now, so Buggy let her ignore the attacks because there's no haki user among these marines. He will teach haki to her slowly like the other 2. Haki will be very crucial in New World, so it's not that urgent now. He wants Jude to prioritize her devil fruit mastery & fighting skill for now.

The pirates are overwhelming the marines, making Diez & other officers mad. They finally move to fight the pirates themselves. Diez goes for Buggy, while his lieutenant goes for Cricket. The other marines go for Mantis & Jude to gang upon them.

"Diez Barrels, did you think you can stop me by yourself?"-Buggy

"Don't get too much of yourself, lowly pirate! Justice will always win."-Diez

"Hahahaha, justice will win? Surely justice will win, winning itself is justice."-Buggy grin

Buggy rushes to Diez and swings the white sword, Pollux in his right hand. Diez jumps back to avoid the sword and sends a punch at Buggy. Buggy duck down and dodge the punch.

"You're too slow."-Buggy

Buggy put his hands on the ground and he use his legs to kick Diez's chin. Diez got pushed back, but Buggy hasn't finished. He propels himself up using his hands and gets closer to Diez.

"Take this as a reminder to never underestimate your enemy! And also, you are weak."-Buggy smirk

Buggy slashes both his swords diagonally at Diez's body in an X shape. The wound that he makes is deep because his swords are very sharp.

"Swords' grade really make a big difference."-Buggy

Diez gets defeated very easily, and this makes his subordinates' morale drop. Clown pirates use this chance to attack them and defeat them easily.
