Buggy’s upper body was floating happily in the night sky more than ten meters above the sea, just as he was preparing to deliver a farewell speech in his heart.
“Yo, Buggy, out for a night flight in the middle of the night?
The moonlight is indeed nice tonight.” A familiar laugh with a hint of teasing came from mid-air on Buggy’s right side without any warning.
“Ee—?!!!” Buggy was so scared his eyeballs almost flew out, and he turned his head sharply.
He saw that in the mid-air more than ten meters above the sea, Ace, who had no wings at all, was resting his hands behind his head, with muffled “bang bang” air explosion sounds constantly coming from under his feet.
He was stepping on the air with extreme leisure, as if taking a post-meal walk, hovering steadily beside Buggy, and even examining Buggy’s upper body floating in mid-air with great interest.
“You, you, you, you, you…
how are you in the sky?!” Buggy screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
“I just couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.” Ace grinned, got close to Buggy with extreme familiarity, and poked the cross-section of Buggy’s waist that was severed in mid-air with his finger, “Wow, this fruit ability is truly magical, there’s not a drop of blood, just like a cut-open building block.” “Don’t touch me!” Buggy was so scared he flew to the side desperately, trying to put some distance between them.
However, no matter how he flew, Ace could always follow him with extreme precision and without any effort by stepping on the Moonwalk, just like a giant black panther playing with a mouse.
“You’re flying so slowly, are you waiting for the wind?” Ace laughed while flying along, not forgetting to tease, “Or does your ability have a range limit?
What happens if you fly too far from your feet on the deck?
Will you fall into the sea and feed the sharks?” “Demon!
You guy are definitely a demon!” Buggy’s mentality completely collapsed.
He tried his best to turn, accelerate, and even circle in the air, but the black-haired young man was like a ghost that couldn’t be shaken off, always following him with that watching-a-show smile, half a meter away.
A dozen minutes later.
Exhausted and dizzy from flying in mid-air, Buggy stopped in despair.
He finally realized a cruel reality: in front of this monster who was freakish in terms of stamina, speed, and Observation Haki, his Chop-Chop escape tactic was simply as ridiculous as a baby learning to walk.
“Not running anymore?” Ace stopped beside Buggy, hovering in mid-air, looking at him with a smile.
“I…
I just came out to get some air!
By the way, I’m helping the Captain patrol the surroundings for enemy situations!” Buggy’s upper body gave a very stiff salute to Ace in mid-air, with two tears of humiliation hanging from the corners of his eyes.
“Hahaha!
Truly worthy of being the Chief Steward I chose, you are so professional!” Ace let out a burst of laughter.
He grabbed Buggy by the back of his collar, like carrying a little chick, and stepped on the Moonwalk, easily carrying Buggy’s upper body back to the deck of the eclipse.
“Bang.” Buggy’s upper body reconnected with his feet left on the deck with extreme precision.
“Alright, now that you’ve finished patrolling, go to sleep early.
You still have to clean the living room windows tomorrow morning.” Ace smiled and rubbed Buggy’s blue-haired head, not pursuing the matter of him running away and stealing jewels at all, and turned around to walk back to the cabin leisurely.
Standing in the night wind, Buggy looked at Ace’s unconstrained back, then looked at the bag of rubies in his hand that hadn’t been confiscated, and stood there stunned.
This powerful monster had clearly seen through everything, yet he didn’t kill him, nor did he confiscate his treasure, and even when he was teasing him in mid-air just now, that kind of carefree laughter felt really familiar.
“Captain Roger?” Buggy muttered to himself, then shook his head violently and grabbed the rag on the ground fiercely: “Damn it!
This Great Man will not be bought by such small favors!” In this quiet East Blue night, the Chief Steward of the eclipse seemed to have accepted his future fate.
