One Piece My Partner is Too Crooked - Chapter 49
On the calm sea, there was a small kayak floating with a bow in the shape of a big red nose.
“Ahahaha! What a group of loyal brothers. Thanks to them, I was able to slip away so smoothly!”
A sinister smile appeared on Buggy’s face. Looking at the open sea before him, he felt the road ahead was light.
“Captain, what is the origin of that monster-like guy?”
Cabaji, wearing a green scarf around his neck, put the long knife on his shoulder.
He never forgot to take his unicycle with him, even when he ran away.
Behind the two of them, the animal trainer Mohji was combing the white hair on his body while the lion Liki waved his two paws, which served as paddles, with an unhappy face, stirring up the seawater to push the kayak forward.
——Because they ran so quickly, they forgot to take the oars.
“How did I know that such a number one person would emerge in the weakest East China Sea!” Buggy clenched his fists, feeling aggrieved.
Mastering the two-color Haki, the physical defense is amazing, and the speed is comparable to that of the Six Navy Shaver.
Shouldn’t a guy with such strength have already gone to the Grand Line?
Why are you willing to open a sea restaurant in this small East China Sea?
How much money can you make?
“Hey, don’t worry about others for now. Now that our pirate group and ship are gone, what should we do next?”
Mohji stopped combing his white-haired clothes, lowered his head, and sighed heavily.
Buggy’s eyes narrowed as if he had guessed his worries, and a high-spirited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Hey, of course, I’m looking for a priceless treasure. I have something good for a comeback!”
That said, Buggy took out the treasure map traded with Icey from his arms.
Even if he chooses to escape with great sincerity and forgets to bring the oar, this treasure map is still like a treasure, lying safely in his arms!
Seeing the parchment tightly held by Buggy’s white-gloved palm, the eyes of the other cadres instantly lit up.
“As expected of you, Captain Buggy, I didn’t expect to still have this hand.”
“If we’re lucky, we might be able to find valuable treasure!”
“Ho ho ho (without further ado, let’s take action now)!”
“But Buggy, are you so sure this treasure map is useful? There aren’t that many pirate treasures in the East China Sea.”
There was a strange sound among them.
Buggy was completely unaware of this and stared intently at the slightly yellowed treasure map: “You know what the heck, based on my many years of experience in treasure hunting, what this map indicates is an incredible treasure!”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in his words.
“That guy Icey is just a simple-minded idiot. He traded such a treasure for a useless cannonball!”
“Really? I think he’s quite handsome.” A strange voice came from behind again.
Hearing remarks that flatter others’ ambitions and undermine his prestige, Buggy became angry at the time. He turned around and scolded:
“Now we have all fallen into this situation. What can we do if we don’t have an optimistic attitude!! Icey!!!”
After seeing the disgusting face of the speaker, Buggy and the other cadres were immediately frightened to the point where their appearance suddenly changed.
I was even more shocked, especially when I saw Icey, who could actually ignore gravity and stand so lightly on the sea level.
What the hell kind of monster is this?
“Good afternoon, Buggy.”
The sun shone on Icey’s bright, smiling face, making it look particularly warm.
Under the sparkling sea surface, a bubble emerged, burst, and opened after breaking out of the water.
Looking along Icey’s feet soaked in the sea, you can see long blue hair spread out, rising and falling with the waves.
Icey smiled happily on the sea surface, and Aqua also smiled happily under the sea surface.
As an unruly and noble goddess, Aqua was unwilling to do this, even if she was beaten to death at first.
But after Icey promised that the matter was over, he purchased a batch of sparkling wine in Orange Town and held a banquet to celebrate the King’s joining.
This shameless goddess immediately changed her face at the speed of light and said she was very happy to help!
“Hey, good afternoon, Icey.”
Buggy said hello normally with a smile on his face, and the next second, he raised his leg suddenly, pressing the mechanism hidden in the shoe with his toes, “Take a mini Buggy bullet from me, you bastard!”
Phew~
The mini cannonball flew past the side of Icey’s face, exploding into a flame on the sea farther away.
“That’s it; as an etiquette for meeting again, fireworks must be indispensable.”
Buggy, who missed the shot, scratched his head and laughed.
Icey, who was attracted by the attractive bounty on this guy, rolled up his cuffs and got right to it, regardless of the amount.
Buggy and his gang tried to run away, and their lofty ambition to rise again through treasure hunting ended before it started.
……
As the sun set, a naval warship slowly sailed into the port of Orange Town.
“We already understand the matter. Thank you very much for your contribution to the town’s security and the navy’s work!”
The navy commander, wearing a navy hat and a white cape, made a standard salute to Icey.
Icey glanced at the Buggy Pirates, who were tied up not far away, and replied calmly: “It doesn’t matter, as long as the bounty is in place.”
“Forehead……”
Such a straightforward answer left the young officer speechless, “Please don’t worry about this.”
After capturing Buggy and other cadres, Icey asked Mayor Bootle to contact the nearest navy branch.
Although you need to pay more handling fees than taking it to collect the bounty yourself, it can save a lot of time.
Sailing on the sea with the cunning Buggy, you might cause some unexpected trouble!
The ones currently on the bounty list of the Buggy Pirates are naturally the captain, Buggy, Cabaji, and other cadres.
Except for ignoring the 50-berries bounty of Shiki, the amount Icey received from the navy this time totaled 14.3 million berries.
In the current situation, this is considerable wealth!
“Then, please continue to support our navy’s work in the future!”
The young navy commander once again expressed his gratitude to Icey and others, then turned around to greet the accompanying sailors and escorted the Buggy Pirates onto the warship.
“Icey! You damn bastard, wait for me. When I come out, I will settle this account with you!”
Buggy, whose hands and feet were bound by the hemp rope, was furious. He turned around and yelled at Icey.
With a smile on his face, Icey was very indifferent to this and raised his arms to say goodbye: “Then, farewell to Captain Buggy on the Grand Line.”
“Don’t worry. By then, you should know the consequences if you provoke the terrifying Captain Buggy!”
Buggy’s face was extremely gloomy.
As the last pirate was escorted onto the warship, the sailors put away the moving ladder, set sail, and embarked back to the branch.
Aqua looked at the navy warships that were gradually moving away. Thinking of what Icey had just said to Buggy, her delicate brows wrinkled slightly, and she couldn’t help but feel confused.
“Icey, wasn’t that big red nose kidnapped by the navy? Why did you say you would meet again on the Grand Line?”
“Because the prison in Donghai cannot trap that guy.” Icey said matter-of-factly.
Not even the deep-sea prison Impel Down, where Magellan is stationed, can imprison the cunning Buggy, let alone the small East China Sea branch prison.
“Ah? Is that guy so powerful?”
Aqua was initially surprised, and soon, a new question popped up: “In that case, why don’t you get the treasure map from him? If there is a treasure, wouldn’t we be in a big loss?”
She wasn’t very interested in treasure hunting or anything like that, but thinking that the treasures could be exchanged for a lot of fine wine, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain.
Seeing that this idiot goddess finally thought about the problem seriously, Icey showed a hint of relief on his face and explained with a smile: “The map I gave Buggy pointed to the map of the 106th Navy Branch.”
“Navy Branch 106 is similar to where we went to exchange for bounties before, right?”
Aqua lowered her head in deep thought. After a few seconds, she exclaimed, “I didn’t expect there would be treasures in such a shabby place?!”
“…”
Looking at those aqua-blue eyes full of wisdom, Icey’s face was covered with countless black lines: “Aqua, are you serious?”
“Why are you saying such things all of a sudden? This goddess has always been super serious, okay?”
Aqua tilted her head, confused.
At this time, the King next to him more or less guessed the cause and effect through the conversation between the two. He stood up and whispered: “Well, what Mr. Icey meant was that he gave the other party a fake treasure map, right?”
This just right explanation made Icey cry with joy: It turns out that having a partner with normal thinking is such a happy feeling!
“Huh? In other words, you prepared two fake treasure maps?!”
The words woke the god from the dream, and Aqua was stunned on the spot, only feeling a pain in her head.
She seems to be growing a brain…
“Aqua, my bottom line is very flexible when dealing with bandits and pirates.” Icey said.
“In other words, there is no bottom line.” Aqua’s understanding of this aspect is quite strong.
“You can also say that they had no bottom line in the first place.” Icey did not deny it.
These two guys don’t look like serious people, no matter how you look at them…
The King beside him was silent, suddenly feeling like he was on a pirate ship.
Mayor Butler was standing behind and hesitating even more, not knowing how to speak.
In the end, Icey took the initiative to raise the issue of compensation.
Because of the design of storefronts such as bookstores and pet shops, according to Bootle’s rough statistics, the flood summoned by Aqua caused economic losses of nearly 5 million berries to the town.
Combined with the originally agreed reward of six million, only more than one million berries were left in Icey’s hands.
Although insignificant compared to the 10.4 million gained from capturing the Buggy Pirates, Icey was still very satisfied.
After all, this amount was enough for him to earn from running a restaurant in Windmill Village for nearly a year!
After settling the compensation issue, Iceyben wanted to set sail and start a new journey, but he couldn’t resist the warm invitation of Mayor Bootle. In the end, he stayed in Orange Town and participated in the celebration held by the townspeople to drive away the Buggy Pirates. Large banquet.
Just in time, we can throw the party we promised Aqua together.
As the sun in the west completely set over the mountains, the central square of Orange Town lit up with bright flames.
As the banquet goddess, Aqua won bursts of applause with her superb talent performance. She quickly became involved with the simple townspeople and became the well-deserved protagonist.
In such an insignificant matter as a banquet performance, even Icey had to admit that this guy still has two brushes, ah no, two fans!
“In the age of great pirates, where chaos and blood are everywhere, and countless strong men compete for the ultimate secret treasure, I didn’t expect to travel to such a world…”
In an inconspicuous corner of the square, King sighed heavily after learning about the general situation of the pirate world from Icey.
He is not so afraid because he comes from a one-punch world where weirdos are rampant.
Just thinking that as an ordinary person, I would have to take risks in such a dangerous world in the future, the sorrow in my heart gushes out like a flood, filling my entire domineering face.
“It’s not bad. Your luck is one of the best in this world.”
“If you’re lucky, maybe you can attract a group of strong men who will swear allegiance to you?”
Icey took a sip of the cold beer on the table and looked above his head at the starry night sky.
This sentence seems to be comforting the King, but it comforts himself.
Late at night, the lively banquet finally came to an end.
Of course, Aqua got drunk again, lying on the port and spitting out many brightly colored rainbows.
Icey had long been accustomed to this. He picked up Aqua, who had vomited cleanly, and walked to the Infinite Dream docked on the shore.
King looked at the rainbows floating on the sea in amazement. He was stunned for more than ten seconds and still couldn’t figure out the principle of this.
Seeing Icey, who was carrying Aqua on his back, gradually disappearing, he gave up his irrelevant curiosity and followed her.
At dawn, the next day, Icey, who got up early, put away the anchor of the Infinite Dream and prepared to go to the next destination.
The next wishing condition in the wishing well is [30 million berries + one Devil Fruit]. The previous Bailey is still the same, so I can say it is nothing more than catching a few more pirates with bounties.
With his current strength, he can walk sideways in the East China Sea, but catching some pirates is still no problem.
The key point is Devil Fruit. This thing is hard to come by. Even in the underground black market, the guaranteed price starts at hundreds of millions. It is far more difficult to get it than Buggy.
Icey didn’t want to enter the great sea route full of dangers too early, so he could only accumulate wealth in the East China Sea and try his luck.
If he only had a weak partner like Aqua, he would never dare to think about luck.
But now that a king with incredible luck has joined the team, he is a little more confident.
That’s right, I dare to think about it now!
In the absence of a clear goal, the destination chosen by Icey naturally gave priority to the original work.
In addition to personally experiencing the familiar scenes in the original work, you can save some regrettable people and things if conditions permit.
Now, the closest to them is Cocoa West Village, located west of Zhumeida Island!
Before leaving, Bootle took the townspeople of Orange Town to the shore to give their benefactor the warmest farewell.
After Bootle’s explanation and Aqua’s vigorous promotion last night, the townspeople knew about the Axis Cult, which believed in the goddess of water, and were very happy to join this cult that brought peace and joy to their town.
So, the warmest way to say goodbye is naturally…
“The teachings of Axis Cult!”
“First, as long as the Axis cultists are serious, they can do anything…”
