Luffy and Zoro drifted on the sea for another two days
Although there is still no sign of land, they received some good news!
Zoro has officially mastered Armament Haki!!!
On the deck, Zoro swung his sword, covering the blade with a thin layer of black substance!
Zoro waved his sword, sometimes passing by Luffy, and sometimes passing by Luffy again
"Come on, you've already shown off in front of me 347 times! I already know you've mastered Armament Haki, no need to remind me again!" Luffy scratched his head and twitched his mouth speechlessly
"Ahaha! I was just too excited!" From nothing to something, Zoro achieved a qualitative breakthrough, and he was really excited!
Monkey D. Luffy: "Hahaha!! Zoro over there is so cute!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Like a fool"
Roronoa Zoro: "Come on, that's Armament Haki! It's reasonable to be excited when you first practice it, right?"
Shanks: "That's right, when I first practiced Armament Haki, I was so excited that I didn't eat for three days."
Silver Rayleigh: "This kind of great breakthrough in strength is indeed an exciting event."
Just as Zoro was about to "accidentally" pass by for the 348th time, Luffy suddenly sat up!!
His eyes suddenly lit up: "A ship is coming!!——"
They couldn't return to the shore by themselves, but now that a ship is coming, hope has arrived
"Really?!"
Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately put aside his "showing off Armament Haki" plan and hurriedly ran to the front of the deck, looking around, "Where is it? Where is it?"
"There!"
Luffy stepped forward to the bow and pointed forward with his hand.
Although there was fog ahead, his Observation Haki had firmly locked onto the ship in the sea mist
In the next moment, a medium-sized pirate ship emerged from the fog ahead!!!
On the wide sail, there was a grinning skull pattern with a big red head!!
Very eye-catching!!!
"..."
On the Impel Down warship, Buggy suddenly covered his face
No way
Luffy, who set sail three years earlier, also encountered him???
At this point in time, Buggy's pirate crew hadn't even been to Orange Town yet
Buggy originally thought that he wouldn't have to run into Luffy from the red border...
But unexpectedly, this unlucky fate still brought them together!
The white border Luffy on this side was still a rookie at that time, and he was beaten up badly
While the red-border Luffy on the other side was incredibly strong!!!
Wouldn't he be completely beaten up on that side???
Damn it...
He is going to become his own black history over there!!!
Up until now, Buggy and many others have noticed that, except for Luffy, the trajectories of the people on both sides are the same.
Of course, those who encountered-border Luffy must have had their trajectories changed.
If the Buggy on that side shows an incredibly weak strength, it means that the Buggy on this side is also weak...
"Hey? Buggy, is that your pirate ship?" Beside Buggy, Luffy grinned.
"What? Is it Captain Buggy's ship? Then these two kids are done for!!"
"That's right, Captain Buggy spared the Straw Hat kid because of Shanks' face, and even gave him some guidance in the battle. But the situation on that side might be different!"
"Yeah, if that Buggy Captain over there didn't recognize Shanks' straw hat, then the Straw Hat kid is in big trouble!"
"That's right, in front of Captain Buggy, he's nothing!"
"That's right, he can't handle Captain Buggy at all!!!"
.....
Upon hearing that Buggy appeared, the prisoners flattered him one by one
"..."
Listening to these flatteries, Buggy felt extremely uncomfortable
If the secret is revealed later, it would be so embarrassing!!!
"Look! What have we encountered? Two lost lambs at sea?"
"Hahaha! We haven't even opened for business today, and they've come knocking on our door, haven't they???"
"Captain, there's a ship ahead, and it seems to have two people on board."
...
On the deck of the Buggy Pirates, a group of pirates excitedly wave their juggling weapons
"Damn, we've encountered a larger pirate crew!" Zoro's face immediately stiffened, his hand resting on the hilt
"It's fine, I'll go negotiate. We just want to know the route to shore, there shouldn't be any conflict"
Luffy lightly pats Zoro's hand holding the fake sword, signaling him not to act rashly.
Then, he grabs the edge of the railing with both hands and takes a few steps back!
Swoosh...!!
Luffy's figure immediately shoots towards the direction of the Buggy Pirates' ship
On the deck of the Buggy Pirates
Upon hearing the reports from his subordinates, Buggy has already walked out of the cabin.
Just as he was about to order an attack, he sees a figure instantly appear in front of him...
Ah!
Unexpectedly, Buggy is startled!!
Bastard, he actually dares to attack first!!
Am I, Buggy, not respected...???
"Capture him!!——" Buggy points with his big hand, giving the order.
"Yes!"
"Capture him!"
...
The lackeys of the Buggy Pirates immediately rush towards Luffy.
Hey?
Luffy is a bit annoyed!
He actually just wanted to come over and ask for directions
But he didn't expect the other party to want to attack directly!
Well..., then he can only use force before courtesy...
Immediately, Luffy activates Conqueror's Haki!!
Boom!!
An invisible pressure erupts from Luffy's body!!
Instantly suppressing the surrounding pirates!!!
In this instant, these surrounding pirates seem to be under some kind of terrifying gaze, their strength instantly drained, their faces pale, and their bodies uncontrollably falling to the ground!!!
Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!
The edges of the ship's planks also crack under the substantial pressure of Conqueror's Haki
The deck, which was bustling just a second ago, immediately becomes silent...
On the entire deck, only Luffy and Buggy are still standing!!
Of course
The reason why Buggy can still stand is because when Luffy released Conqueror's Haki just now, he deliberately bypassed Buggy with precise control.
He came to ask for directions, so he had to leave someone who could speak...
And leaving the captain behind is obviously the most reasonable move.
On the Impel Down warship
"Look! That kid released Conqueror's Haki, but it had no effect on our Captain Buggy!!!"
"Only when one's strength reaches a certain level can they withstand the intimidation of Conqueror's Haki! And Captain Buggy didn't even flinch, showing just how unfathomable his strength is!!!"
"Captain Buggy, the eternal god!!!"
.....
Watching Buggy face the intimidation of Conqueror's Haki as if it were a gentle breeze, the admiration of these prisoners who escaped from Impel Down towards Buggy instantly flows like a surging river, endless
