One Piece My Partner is Too Crooked - Chapter 45

Buzz.

Under Buggy’s extremely horrified gaze, the machete in Icey’s hand was stained with a thin layer of pitch black.

There was only one moment left before the three-knife agreement, so naturally, he would not hold back anymore and use it to the limit of what he could do at present!

‘If Buggy can still resist, then we can do nothing.’

‘You’re going to have to take action anyway, so let’s grab it openly.’

Icey pondered secretly in his heart.

That’s right, even if he loses the bet, he doesn’t intend to just follow the instructions and take out the treasure map first.

What does a bet between pirates have to do with him, a restaurant owner at sea?

Feeling the oppressive feeling brought by the armed domineering force, Buggy, with a big bag on his head, swallowed, and his eyes became more determined.

If he chooses to give up this last blow because of fear, wouldn’t the previous two blows be in vain?

However, just when Icey gathered strength to give Buggy the final blow, Aqua’s voice came from behind.

“IceyIcey! It looks like fun. Can you let me come too?”

Aqua rubbed her white palms and looked at Icey eagerly, her intelligent aqua eyes full of expectation.

As the goddess of water who has seen everything in the world, she never thought there would be a fool like Buggy, who took the initiative to be beaten.

What’s more, she has long been unhappy with this red nose!

Icey obviously didn’t want this mentally retarded goddess who could cause big trouble at any time to get involved, but he caught a glimpse of Buggy’s fleeting happiness from the corner of his eye and suddenly changed his mind.

?Perhaps, to deal with a funny character like Buggy, having Aqua come will have a miraculous effect.

“No problem, but remember to shoot with the blade like me. This guy can be immune to slashing attacks by dividing his body.”

Icey gave a brief explanation, disarmed the Haki covering, and handed the machete to Aqua.

“No problem, feel free to leave it to me!”

Aqua held the machete tightly and waved it twice with enthusiasm.

This contrast between a beautiful girl wielding a sword is quite cute, let alone it.

“So……”

After finishing the knife test, Aqua’s expression gradually became serious. Her blue dress was not moving in the wind, and her long, soft aqua-blue hair was also blowing.

Buzz!

Aqua released the limit of the divine power she could currently exert, and the hands holding the sword were flowing with aurora, and colorful and scorching flames erupted.

The flames spread along the knife’s handle, covering the entire blade instantly, burning it red and shiny.

First of all, as one of Aqua’s signature methods, its power is enhanced by its believers’ number and degree of belief.

After being accumulated by the villagers of Windmill Village and the civilians rescued at sea, her move is now quite powerful – at least, it seems like it should be.

That burst of sacred aura shouldn’t be too oppressive!

‘Here, this stinky woman who doesn’t look very smart, why does she look scarier than Icey?’

Buggy stared blankly at Aqua, who was slowly walking towards him with a flaming sword and a wicked smile, and the joy in his heart completely dissipated.

Instead, there was endless panic.

“Idiot Red Nose, to be honest, this goddess has disliked you for a long time!”

With her flying blue hair, Aqua looked like a demon king bathed in darkness in the eyes of Buggy, who was getting increasingly panicked.

To die…

If this knife goes down, I will die!

At the last second, when Aqua raised the knife to chop, Buggy, who was greedy for life and fearful of death, finally flinched, his legs split, and his upper body retreated urgently!

Boom!

The sound of iron weapons colliding was heard. Since the attack target was lost, Aqua’s powerful blow directly hit the stone bricks of Orange Town Square.

Click.

A small crack opened in the hard stone brick…

The power of God’s Fist is related to the believer’s belief, but more precisely, it should be the “crazy degree” of the believer’s emotions.

Most of the villagers’ beliefs in Windmill Village are based on “compassion” and are certainly not crazy.

Simply put, if the person who believes in Aqua is a die-hard fan like Bartolomeo, then the increase he alone brings to the Fist of God is enough to crush the entire Windmill Village!

After working there for a long time, the result is just this little power?!

Buggy, whose upper body was floating in the air, was stunned. He wanted to sneak but suddenly found a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Because he was anxious to escape just now and his movements were too large, he accidentally…

He bit his tongue.

“Damn it! Don’t hide! You’re so spineless!”

After being briefly shocked by Buggy’s ability to split, Aqua raised her sword and pointed it at Buggy’s red nose in contempt.

She was unaware that there was only a small gap in the floor tiles under her feet.

The pirate boys, with high hopes for their captain, stood there stupidly, with their mouths slightly open, unable to shout out the powerful shouts of reinforcement just now.

“How, how is it possible? Captain Buggy escaped?”

“Stop joking! Captain Buggy is trying to avoid unnecessary damage. Look carefully; his feet are still in place!” A young pirate discovered the point.

“No, that’s right! Captain Buggy’s feet are still there, so it doesn’t count as a dodge! We won this bet!”

“As expected of you, Lord Buggy!”

At this time, the members of the Buggy Pirates gave full play to their shameless tradition.

Aqua was about to argue when she saw this, but Icey came to her first.

“Hey! What are your awakenings as a member of the Buggy Pirates!”

He snapped, interrupting the guilty cheers of the pirate boys.

Everyone looked at him with unkind eyes.

“Open your eyes and take a closer look. Your captain admitted his failure frankly without saying another word.”

Icey, who noticed that Buggy bit his tongue and couldn’t speak clearly, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and shouted at the younger brothers:

“Failure is not terrible. Sometimes, it takes great courage to escape because of fear.”

“Buggy put his dignity as a man on the line and would rather face the truest emotions in his heart than make shameless excuses.”

“And as his favorite subordinates, is this how you respond to his awareness and responsibility as a man?!”

An impassioned speech immediately stunned the pirate boys about to take action (including Aqua, who tilted her head).

They all looked at Captain Buggy on the field.

I saw that silent figure bathed in the bright sunshine, so determined and majestic!

Compared with such an upright Lord Buggy, the younger brothers instantly felt like clowns.

“Lord Buggy, you…”

“I’m sorry! We shouldn’t trample on your awareness so casually!”

The pirate boys were moved to tears.

In response to Lord Buggy’s manliness in facing failure and saving his mistakes, the two pirate boys raised their hands to wipe away their tears and took out the special bombs hidden behind them while crying.

Upon seeing this, Buggy, whose body had been reassembled, shouted indistinctly. He turned around and waved his hands wildly at the two idiots, signaling them not to do anything stupid.

“Captain, we have understood your thoughts; please rest assured, this special bullet is real!”

The two idiots seemed to have misunderstood their captain’s intentions and happily pushed Buggy before Icey.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

(Two big idiots, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!)

Buggy was so angry that he vomited blood.
