One Piece My Partner is Too Crooked - Chapter 44
“The wise eyes blinked a few times, and Aqua stood blankly in place, staring at the clown Buggy whose expression twisted with pain, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This cut, where’s the coolness…
The pirates on the opposite side were also dumbfounded. This was their first time seeing someone “cut” with the blade.
What kind of swordsman is this?!
“Buggy, you ask who taught me to use the sword like this?”
Icey turned the long knife in his hand, savoring the impact feedback from Buggy’s head just now. “If I have to say, it’s the Red Hair Pirate Crew.”
The Red Hair Pirate Crew?!
The familiar name widened Buggy’s eyes, forgetting the pain in his head, and exclaimed, “What did you say? Did Shanks teach you to do this?!”
Thinking of that extremely annoying smile, he hated him to the core.
If it weren’t for Shanks, he wouldn’t have accidentally eaten the Devil Fruit and become a sitting duck abandoned by the sea!
Since Shanks taught Icey to use slashing attacks like this, his so-called trump card was already known to the other party long ago.
No wonder this bastard Icey doesn’t use normal sword swings. It turns out that the so-called pirate gamble in this place was a trap set by him from the beginning!
Everything instantly connected, and Buggy was furious on the spot, blaming Shanks for all the faults.
Damn it, Shanks!
Next time we meet, I’ll tear you apart!!
And so, between Buggy and Shanks, their strange hatred added another vivid stroke.
At this moment, already in the New World, Shanks, who was about to engage in a war with a certain major pirate, inexplicably sneezed.
“Wait, you know, Shanks?” Buggy, who reacted, stared at Icey and asked.
“Not long ago, he invited me to join his crew.”
With one hand in his pocket, Icey calmly looked into those bloodshot eyes and took a deep breath as if talking about something trivial. “But I refused.”
“I see!” Buggy gritted his teeth.
Indeed, this was very much like Shanks’ style. He completely accepted the fact that the other party had played around him!
“It’s you who made me have a bit of admiration, not even shouting out loud like this.” Icey sighed.
This statement had no pretense. Considering Buggy’s cowardly character, being hit suddenly by such a powerful blow, shouldn’t he scream in pain?
Perhaps because it was ten years ago, and Buggy hadn’t been away from Pirate King Roger for long, there was still a bit of the reckless spirit from his childhood deep inside him.
He speculated like this.
“You damn bastard dare to play tricks on me!”
Buggy’s mouth twitched continuously, forcefully sucking back the snot hanging on his red nose.
At this moment, with his back facing the members of the Buggy Pirates, they didn’t see his true expression.
“To be remembered by Captain Buggy, I’m honored.”
Icey grasped the handle of the long knife with both hands, making a golf swing motion, “But before that, you still owe me two slashes.”
With that, he turned to look at Aqua standing behind him.
“Aqua, from now on, I’ll leave it to you to enhance my power.”
Still pondering where the coolness was in that last slash, Aqua murmured, “It seems that I’ll have to make a move as the Goddess of the Sea.” Then her long blue hair fluttered, and a complicated and mysterious blue magic circle began to light up under her feet.
The members of the Buggy Pirates were shocked by this unprecedented scene, their eyes wide open.
With the attribute enhancement applied by Aqua, Icey’s strength suddenly increased a bit, and the contours of his arm muscles became more pronounced.
“So, I’m going up now, Captain Buggy.”
Buggy’s eyes widened like bronze bells, recalling the intense pain that just reached the top of his head. The arrogance on the clown’s face gradually dissipated, replaced by panic and fear.
Since the other party knew about his Devil Fruit ability, they would not follow the rules next.
In other words, damn it, was he going to take two more hits for no reason at all?
What a joke!
“W-wait…”
Just as Buggy, from the bottom of his heart, was about to say something, the cheers of the little brothers behind him suddenly rang out.
“Oh, oh, oh! Captain Buggy is indeed worthy! Even without using his abilities, he can resist the opponent’s attacks with a body as strong as a monster!”
“Hehe, that restaurant owner is so naive, thinking that a slight increase in strength could shake Captain Buggy?”
“Let this ignorant bastard see your incomparable terror, Captain Buggy, and truly feel the gap in the world!”
“Buggy! Buggy! Buggy!!”
Indeed, the Buggy Pirates, with their loyalty overflowing, these intermittent shouts…
Completely cut off Buggy’s retreat.
Even though his expression at the moment was more uncomfortable than eating shit, as the captain, he still straightened his body, raised his hands high above his head, leaving the little brothers with a very reassuring majestic figure.
“Just leave it to me, boys!!”
Icey looked calmly at Buggy, struggling to maintain his image because of his idol burden, gripping the big cleaver with both hands.
He wanted to see today whether this guy Buggy was stubborn or his mouth was harder!
As the words fell, the sound of breaking wind immediately rang out, and the heavy blade drew a graceful trace in the air.
Thunk!!
One moment, Buggy was showing off; the next moment, a violent impact accompanied by dizziness and intense pain transmitted from his head to his whole body!
The strengthened Icey’s slash directly knocked all expressions out of him, his tall figure slouched down, hands supporting his knees, gasping for breath heavily, looking quite embarrassed.
Even so, Buggy held on with extremely strong willpower, tightly covering his mouth and not making a sound!
This strength even made Icey show a surprised expression.
Is this still the clown Buggy he knows?
But thinking carefully, guys like Buggy and Usopp, who specialize in King’s Haki, may not be strong, but they are truly flesh and blood. They belong to the type of freaks who can stand up even after being beaten like crazy by enemies.
“Ah haha, ah hahaha! I held it back!”
Buggy, who had recovered, had a proud look on his face, laughing heartily in response to his little brothers’ even more intense cheers.
With his simple mind, he even forgot that he was just being beaten on one side…
“Hey, hey, is that guy okay? Why do I see him having trouble standing?”
Kabaji, sitting on the unicycle, noticed some clues.
Compared to the little brothers’ brainless flattery, this cadre understood B.
Nukky’s nature is better.
“He’s fine, just a little short of it,” said the animal tamer Mohji in a low voice.
“Roar, roar.” Mohji’s lion, holding a parasol, followed suit with two roars.”
