Ace raised his right hand, and the pitch-black Armament Haki instantly covered his palm, directly ignoring those flying severed limbs, and grabbed Buggy’s main body by the collar with extreme precision and brutality!
“Bang!” Ace exerted force with one hand, slamming Buggy fiercely onto the hard stone slabs of the square, sending gravel flying.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!” Without giving Buggy any chance to use his Devil Fruit, Ace waved his fist wrapped in Haki with an expressionless face, and with a few “bang, bang, bang” punches, smashed them onto Buggy’s face and body like a rainstorm.
Without using fire, just pure physical monster strength, he had already beaten Buggy until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, with snot and tears streaming down.
“Stop, stop, stop!
I surrender!
I’ll be the steward!
Won’t I be the steward?!” Buggy, who was extremely afraid of death and had no backbone, after being beaten for less than ten seconds, held his head and shouted for mercy while crying bitterly.
Ace stopped his fist, shook his wrist, and looked down at Buggy, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, a deep, meaningful dark glow flashing in his deep black eyes.
Sabo walked to Ace’s side, looked at this ridiculous clown on the ground, and frowned slightly: “Ace, this guy’s strength is pitifully weak, although his fruit ability is a bit interesting, is he really qualified to be our partner?” “Sabo, you can’t just judge people by their surface strength.” A very subtle arc curled up at the corner of Ace’s mouth.
He looked at Buggy silently in his heart.
Who would have thought that this ridiculous clown, who was crying bitterly to save his life, would eventually become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even ascend to the throne of the Four Emperors in the future?
The reason Ace insisted on dragging Buggy onto the ship was definitely not for his combat power.
It was for that Haoshoku luck on him that even the will of the world had to give way!
In Ace’s memories of his previous life, after this man became one of the Four Emperors, even when facing death threats from Crocodile and the world’s greatest swordsman Hawkeye, he could still hold the den den mushi tightly and shout the earth-shattering declaration to the whole world: “Don’t your lives scream?!” That kind of near-metaphysical ability to survive desperate situations, that kind of mysterious charisma that could fool countless vicious prisoners into being loyal to him, was exactly the top-notch talent a king needed most when building a vast empire!
Let Buggy handle odd jobs, fool subordinates, be the scapegoat, and even use his Haoshoku luck to break the deadlock at critical moments.
In this world, there is absolutely no second candidate more perfect than the clown Buggy.
“Listen, Red Nose.” Ace withdrew his thoughts, looked at Buggy on the ground with cold eyes, and pointed to the unconscious Buggy, Moji, and the giant lion.
“I won’t kill your crew.
However, on the upcoming journey, we are going to the Grand Line, and even the cruelest New World.
With this bunch of trash who can’t even withstand one look from me, following you, there is only a dead end.” Buggy was stunned, looking at his subordinates on the ground who were unconscious but still breathing, a complex glimmer flashing in his eyes.
Although he was afraid of death, he still had real feelings for this group of little brothers who had followed him for many years.
“Dismiss them.
Leave some money for them.” Ace’s voice was unquestionable, “Tell them, if one day, they have the courage and strength to live and cross the gate of the New World, they can come to my banner to find you at any time.” Buggy gritted his teeth; he knew that this man, who was like a demon god before him, was not joking.
If they really went to the Grand Line, the others would definitely not survive.
“Besides,” Ace looked at Buggy’s appearance of being in mourning, and threw out the final bait, “Don’t keep your eyes on the pitiful pocket money in the East Blue all day long.
As long as you obediently manage the logistics and odd jobs for me, I guarantee that the top-tier treasures and gold in this sea will be piled at your feet in the future.” “What is Captain John’s treasure compared to that?” Hearing the words “top-tier treasures and gold”, Buggy’s eyes, which were originally full of tears, instantly lit up with a flash of greed.
“Really?
More than Captain John’s treasure?!” Buggy swallowed his saliva, the fear just now seemed to have been suppressed by greed.
“I never lie.” Ace turned around, his dark red trench coat rolling in the smoke.
“Take your money and get on my ship!” Buggy climbed up from the ground, wiped his nosebleed, looked at Ace’s massive back that was as unfathomable as an abyss, then looked at the unconscious Buggy and Moji on the ground, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Buggy, Moji, Richie…” Buggy muttered in a low voice, then his eyes hardened, and he turned to start frantically loading the gold and treasures he had just robbed into several large sacks.
Under the absolute crushing force and the temptation of extremely huge benefits, the future “Thousand-Piece Clown” Buggy, who would shake the sea, thus became an honorable Chief Steward of the Eclipse Pirates.
