บท 136: Straw Hat Fleet
Somewhere Near Water Seven,
A massive ship with a Jolly Roger of Straw Hat Pirates was slowly making its way to Water Seven.
On the deck, there were several influential figures.
Mikita, Captain of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B80,000,000.
Bentham, Vice Captain of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B60,000,000.
Zala, Member of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B50,000,000.
Galtino, Member of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B65,000,000.
Marianne, Member of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B30,000,000.
Except for them, there were several normal pirates on the ship. They were brought in by Mikita and Zala from previous Baroque Works.
Next to it, there was another ship. On that ship, there were some other influential figures.
Buggy D Clown, Captain of the Second Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates- Bounty B15,000,000.
Alvida, Cabaji, Mochi, and Richi. Of course, the entire Buggy Pirates were there as well.
Their pirate flag was a bit different. It was still a clown face but with a Straw Hat on top of it.
"Buggy, are we really going for this? I mean, Straw Hats are our enemy." Alvida rested her mace on the ground and asked.
"Alvida, sometimes you need to put away your previous grudge to see the bigger picture. Now Straw Hats are famous all over the world."
"Their crew's overall bounty is already above One Billion. They even faced the Admiral and managed to escape. If we join them, our Buggy Pirates will rise in fame."
Buggy chuckled as he spoke with a funny tone.
But deep down, he had some other ideas.
'Hehe! That Straw Hat boy is an idiot. I just need to go behind him and lower his guard. With the correct opportunity, I can definitely kill him and become famous.'
'But, I can't tell them about this plan. Who knows if they have inserted some mole in my crew? If I tell them my plan, Straw Hats will definitely kill me.'
'But there is one problem. That boy has only gone out in the seas for a few months. I am still assuming that he hasn't mastered Haki. If he knows Observation Haki, I won't be able to assassinate him.'
'But, if you want to fight an admiral, you do need Haki. So, if I don't get a chance to attack him, I will just lay low.'
"Hehehe! Everyone, let's have a banquet." After making an evil smirk, he shouted with laughter.
"Hey, do you think Captain is making some evil plan?" Kabaji went near Mochi and asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Mochi rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Haa! I am not sure if what you said is true but I also want to meet Straw Hat Boy and make him my man. Only a powerful and influential man like him is worthy to be my man."
Alvida sighed and raised her mace. With a beautiful smile, she spoke in confidence.
In Water Seven,
Luffy suddenly felt chills behind his back.
"Liam, did you just feel something?" Luffy asked in confusion.
"No, why?" Liam shook his head and asked.
"I feel like someone is talking about me." Luffy rubbed his head in confusion and spoke.
"Maybe some girl is remembering you." Liam made an evil smirk as he teased Luffy Unfortunately, a single brain cell Luffy didn't care.
............….
In First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates,
"Why do you think Liam suddenly call us? Do you think there will be a battle soon?" Mikita stood on the deck and asked.
Surrounding here were the top agents of previous Baroque Work and current top members of the First Fleet of Straw Hat Pirates.
"Must be so. Otherwise, he wouldn't call us so urgently. Don't forget we are the Straw Hat Fleet. Our job is to help them win large-scale battles." Bentham nodded his head and spoke.
"So, our assumption is correct. Marines are indeed targeting Straw Hat Pirates on a large scale. I thought it was just a rumor." Zala spoke with a serious expression.
"Indeed! This news is spreading around the world very fast. I believe a lot of people have already got this news. I wonder what their next move will be." Marianne nodded her head and answered.
"But, we have nothing to worry about. Not to mention Vice Captain and Captain can already face and defeat Admiral, we have also grown a lot stronger during this time."
"Although none of us have mastered Haki, we have managed to learn all six styles of Marines. Thanks to Vice Captain's advice, my mastery over the Devil Fruit has increased even more."
"Now, I don't even need to get involved in the battle to take down the previous me." Galdino spoke with a confident tone.
Hearing his words, everyone rolled their eyes at him but they were indeed envious of his ability.
While Zala's spike ability was interesting and Mikita could increase the strength of her strikes, Bentham's ability wasn't that useful in the battle.
As for Marianne, she didn't even have the devil fruit.
Only Galdino had a powerful devil fruit. It wasn't that much interesting until Liam told him about the scope of his devil fruit ability.
Even if he had a weakness against fire, his ability was extremely versatile. By following the advice from Liam, he has significantly increased his battle powers enough to fight all four of them at once.
Yes, he could fight all four of them at once. And, it wouldn't be an easy battle for both side.
"Hey, I want to talk about that Buggy. Don't you think he simply agreed to join us too easily?" Mikita ignored Galdino's pride and asked with confusion and suspicion.
"Who knows? Maybe he was just too impressed with our boss. Don't forget our core crew's bounty alone surpasses One Billion." Galdino shrugged his shoulder and spoke.
"I don't think it's that easy. Don't forget Liam told us that it will take a lot to convince this Buffon to join us. Although he has a powerful background, I don't think his strength even comes close to that of his background."
"On the other hand, our Captain has both background and strength," Mikita spoke with some suspicion.
"It doesn't matter, does it?" Marianne asked before continuing.
"Although none of us have mastered Haki, both Captain and Vice Captain have already mastered it. Don't forget the usages of Observation Haki. As long as someone wants to attack them, they will easily sense it."
"So, no matter what kind of conspiracy that Buffon might have, they got no chance."
Zala nodded her head and spoke.
"And, since he comes from Roger Pirates, he must also know about that. He managed to stay low for so many years from the eyes of the marines."
"He is no fool. He won't try to do anything unless he has absolute confidence in his plan. And, no matter what plan it might be, with our Captain's strength, it will fall straight down."
Everyone agreed with Zala's words.
"Captain, we are reaching the Water Seven." A pirate at the top of the main mask shouted while holding a binocular in his hand.
"Did you see our main ship?" Mikita raised her head and shouted.
"No, but we spotted Marine Ship quite far away. Should we take a detour to Water Seven? They might spot us as well." The pirate asked for the order.
Mikita looked at others and nodded her head. In an instant, everyone understood the situation.
She shook her head and shouted.
"Don't care about those marines. Just head straight to Water Seven. If you find the main ship, just go there."
"Yes, Captain!"
The pirates shouted and they began to head straight to Water Seven. Buggy's ship also began to chase them. But, they were a bit cautious, trying to hide in the shadows of Main Ship.
..........
Marine Ship,
On that marine ship, there were some Commodores looking at the sea with his telescope. When he spotted Mikita's ship, he immediately recognized the Jolly Roger on that ship.
Without any hesitation, he put down the telescope and made a call to Marine HQ.
"Hello, Sengoku here!" Sengoku's voice came from the Transponder Snail.
"Fleet Admiral, we have spotted two ships making their way to Water Seven. One of them had an exact copy of Straw Hat Jolly Roger while the other had Buggy Pirate Jolly Roger with Straw Hat on top."
"Should we try to intercept them?" The Commodore spoke with a serious tone.
"What? That information turned out to be true?"
Sengoku's voice filled with disbelief came from the Transponder Snail.
"Those bastards, are they trying to pick a fight with Marines?"
"Commodore, I give you the order to intercept those pirates from reaching Water Seven."
