Chapter 221 General? We're going to take down the general!
"Let's have a party to celebrate our successful escape from the underwater prison!" Bucky said with a laugh.
"profound!"
"Quick, quick, Captain Bucky has spoken! Bring out the food from the warship! We're going to have a feast!"
Watching the group of guys running around busily, Crocodile frowned and asked, "Captain Bucky?"
He had already discovered this problem before: why could this good-for-nothing who hung out with Mr. 3 become the leader of these guys?
If I'm not mistaken, some of these guys have higher bounties than Mr. 3.
"Hey, Mr. 3!"
"exist!"
Upon hearing Crocodile call his name, Mr. 3 immediately sprang to his feet, then stiffly turned to face Crocodile and asked, "What are your orders?"
"Who exactly is this Bucky?" Crocodile asked.
"Him."
Mr. 3 glanced at Bucky, who was laughing with his hands on his hips, and said, "I didn't know him before either. I only knew that he was Bucky the Clown from the East Blue."
"Is that so?"
Crocodile frowned and nodded, then turned to look in the direction of the East Blue, muttering, "The East Blue... the hometown of the Pirate King?"
Crocodile, after thinking for a while and realizing he couldn't figure it out, decisively gave up trying to understand.
Ultimately, in his eyes, Bucky was just a slightly special nobody, not worth paying too much attention to.
"Xiyan," Jinbe, who was in charge of steering the ship, said, glancing at Xiyan standing beside him. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to rescue Ace."
"I will always remember this kindness."
"No need for thanks," west Yan laughed. "We're on the same side now, no need to be so polite."
"Right, Luffy~"
"what!"
Luffy grinned, "Xiyan is right, Jinbe."
Looking at the two smiling men, Jinbe paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I will do my best to assist you."
This time, even if it costs him his life, he will help these two men rescue Ace!
"profound!"
Just then, several men ran to the bow of the boat and carried up some food and drinks.
"Brother Ninja, you guys have something to eat," a man said with a smile.
"Want something to eat?"
west Yan glanced at the food being brought up, rubbed his stomach, and said, "I'm not really hungry."
Before he could finish speaking, Luffy darted to the side of the food in a flash.
"I'm starting!"
After saying something very sincerely, Luffy started stuffing things into his mouth like crazy.
west Yan was somewhat helpless upon seeing this; this guy really could eat a lot.
This guy ate for a full thirty minutes before setting off, and now he's hungry again... That's ridiculous. "Looks like Straw Hat Boy has a good appetite," the others laughed.
"Indeed."
"If that's not enough, just let us know, there's more below."
"profound!"
Luffy waved to the group without looking up, then continued eating.
After shaking his head helplessly, Xiyan looked at Jinbe and said, "If you're hungry, go and get something to eat."
"I don't need it," Jinbe shook his head and said, "I was already full before I left there."
He didn't need as much food as one might have imagined, so he didn't need to eat anymore.
Just then, Buggy came up from below, holding a glass of wine, and said, "Saiyan, let's have a toast!"
"Huh?"
Looking at Xiyan's empty hands, Bucky was dumbfounded and said, "It's banquet time now, why aren't you eating or drinking?"
The last time they ate together was probably yesterday.
Isn't this guy hungry?
"I'm not that hungry right now, you guys eat." west Yan waved his hand and said that he wasn't a glutton like Luffy, and there was no need for him to pounce on food as soon as he saw it.
"Why is it like this? Even when holding a banquet, you still have to..."
.
Before Buggy could finish speaking, Luffy looked up and said, "Jinbe, won't you be stripped of your Shichibukai title if you come with us to Marine Headquarters this time?"
"After causing chaos in Impel Down, I will no longer be able to keep my title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea," Jinbe said calmly. "However, I don't care anymore, as long as I can rescue Ace from Marine Headquarters."
Anyway, his title of Shichibukai couldn't protect Fishman Island, so... well, it's over!
"No, wait a minute!"
Bucky, regaining his senses, looked at the two men with disbelief and said, "You just said Marine Headquarters?"
"Ah, yes."
"Wait, what's going on with Marine Headquarters?!" Bucky, realizing what was happening, exclaimed in a frantic voice, "Don't tell me this ship is headed to Marine Headquarters!"
"That's right."
"Damn it, you guys can't be unaware of the war between Marine Headquarters and Whitebeard, can you?"
"I know."
"Then you still..."
"That's precisely why we're going to Marine Headquarters," said west Yan, arms crossed, glancing at Buggy. "Don't forget our purpose."
Bucky, who had just been teased, immediately recalled the purpose of west Yan and Straw Hat Luffy's visit to Impel Down.
To save Ace...
1
So that's how it is; they went to save Ace.
"No, that's not the point at all!" Buggy's upper body flew up, and he looked at Xiyan excitedly, saying, "I agreed to go with you to the fifth floor to rescue Ace, but I never said I would go to Marine Headquarters with you!"
The war between Whitebeard and the Marine Headquarters must be terrifying. Going to such a place at this time is just asking for death. He just left Impel Down and doesn't want to enter another hell, you bastard!
"Really? I thought you'd be willing to come with us~" west Yan said with a smile.
The Pakistanis were stunned by the smile on west Yan's face.
Was this bastard doing it on purpose?
"Damn it, I don't want to go to Marine Headquarters..."
"Why are you still saying things like that now?" Crocodile glanced at Bucky and said, "In the end, it's because you guys are too slow."
"What did you say?"
Ignoring the furious Buggy, Crocodile said calmly, "Once we leave the Gates of Justice, the only places we can go are Marine Headquarters and Enies Lobby."
"What do you mean?"
"We are now riding the Basin Current, a special current used by the World Government, which connects the three major institutions of the World Government."
"You could say that once the ship gets to this point, it can't go anywhere else," Jinbe explained.
"So, we have no choice but to go to Marine Headquarters now?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Buggy was completely silenced, and Mr. 3, who had just arrived, also had an extremely ugly expression.
"No, we've never heard of this before!!"
The prisoners stared dumbfounded at the people above them, their faces turning green.
Send them to fight in the war between Whitebeard and the Navy Headquarters?
Is this a joke?!
With their strength, going to a place like that would be suicide!
"Damn it, stop the ship right now!" Buggy and Mr. 3 grabbed Jinbe's hands and said, "We don't want to go to Marine Headquarters!"
"Don't cause trouble." Jinbe tossed the two aside and said, "Didn't I just say that once you ride the ocean current, you can't go anywhere else?"
"Damn it, how could this happen...."
Bucky and Mr. 3 knelt on the ground with pained expressions, as if they could already see their future.
In a place like Marine Headquarters, to be wiped out by a single aftershock from Whitebeard and a Marine Admiral...:
Damn it, what a cruel way to die!
"If you don't want to go, then get off the ship yourselves," Luffy said, glancing up at the two of them as he ate. "Anyway, we're not changing our course."
"Disembark by yourself?"
The two men froze for a moment, then opened their shark-like mouths and roared, "You damn Straw Hat brat, we're Devil Fruit users! How could we possibly leave the ship by ourselves?!"
"And besides, this is the Calm Belt, a lair for Sea Kings, you bastard!"
Even if they weren't Devil Fruit users, they couldn't possibly swim out of the Calm Belt on their own. Once those Sea Kings spotted them, they would be doomed!
"oh."
"oh oh?""
Hearing Luffy's nonchalant remark, Buggy's eyes turned red with anger.
"Damn it, there are Marine Admirals at Marine Headquarters!"
"Not only that, there are also a series of terrifying beings such as Whitebeard and the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Going to a place like that is worse than staying in an underwater prison."
"We're doomed, we're dead..."
Some of the prisoners who escaped with Bucky sat on the ground with expressions of despair, as if they had already foreseen their fate.
"Damn it, if only we could get out of here."
"leave?"
Upon hearing those two words, Buggy paused for a moment, then sprang to his feet and rushed to Xiyan, saying, "Xiyan, can your Water Release technique get you out of the Calm Belt?"
"I haven't tried it, but it's highly likely to work."
"Then could you...?"
"No way!" west Yan refused without hesitation. "I'm going to Marine Headquarters to participate in this war. How could I possibly leave here with you?"
"But there's a naval admiral there!"
"A general?" west Yan said, "We're going to fight a general!"
Seeing west Yan's expression, Buggy knew that the other party was unlikely to listen to his opinion, so this time... they had no choice but to go to Marine Headquarters to participate in this war.
Thinking of this, a hint of despair appeared in Bucky's eyes.
Going to a place like that... he might die!!!
Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) came from the ship.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"A Den Den Mushi?"
Upon hearing that incredibly familiar voice, everyone immediately focused their attention on the groove on the comb handle.
There, a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) was broadcasting a message.
"Why would someone call at a time like this?"
"Who could it be?"
"Of course! That's a naval warship!"
"So... it was the navy that attacked?"
"Um, should we try connecting?"
"Idiot, what if we reveal our location? We are..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luffy appeared in front of the Den Den Mushi and picked it up.
"Kaka~"
Hello.
"Hello!!"
"Why did you connect the Den Den Mushi?!" Buggy stared at Luffy in disbelief.
Does this guy have no brain at all?
What if their location is leaked and the navy intercepts them along this route?!
"It actually connected?"
The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was also somewhat surprised, and then said, "This is Marine Headquarters."
"Ah, I'm Luffy."
"What kind of pirate announces his own name, you bastard!" the group roared, their shark-like mouths agape.
It's one thing to get through to the Navy on the phone, but now they're just giving their names. Are they afraid the other party won't know who they are?
"What a daring fellow," the Navy said with a sneer. "No wonder he's one of the masterminds behind this underwater prison break."
"One of the masterminds?"
The other mastermind is west Yan, isn't he?
The others also subconsciously looked at west Yan, who was standing on high, and clearly understood what Luffy meant.
west Yan didn't care about the stares of these guys, but instead stroked his chin and said, "It seems that Impel Down has already informed the Navy Headquarters of our information."
"Perhaps the Navy already knows where we're going," Jinbe said.
"It doesn't matter."
Crocodile said calmly, "We're going to kill our way there anyway."
What good would it do to know?
He refused to believe that the Navy Headquarters would dare to come here and cause them trouble!
Just then, another exclamation came from Luffy's side.
"So the ninja boss was one of the masterminds after all!"
"Um?"
Hearing their exclamations, west Yan jumped over and then looked at Lightning, asking, "What did this guy say?"
"He said there are three main perpetrators in this invasion of Impel Down," Lightning said. "Two of them are you and the Straw Hat Boy."
"Three people?"
west Yan paused for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Who is the other person?"
Could it be...:::. is referring to Hancock?
Thinking of this, west Yan's heart sank.
Before west Yan could say anything more, the Marine on the other end of the Den Den Mushi spoke up: "The other one is... Buggy the Clown!"
"Huh?!?!"
"Captain Buggy, you've actually surpassed the Seven Warlords of the Sea to become one of the main culprits! Just who are you?!"
The pirates stared at Buggy in shock.
This man really surprised them!
"I?"
Bucky pointed at himself incredulously and said, "Why me?"
He was just a small-time pirate with a bounty of over ten million, how did he become one of the main culprits?
Could it be because I released prisoners from the second and first levels?
But that doesn't make sense either. Mr. 3 was with him too, so Mr. 3 should be included in the calculation!
"That's right, it's you!" The navy officer, taking the documents from his comrade, said with a grim expression, "You thought you were hiding it well?!"
"Buggy the Clown, a former crew member of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!"
"We have thoroughly investigated your background!!"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Bucky's eyes bulged in shock, and he said incredulously, "Why...why were we exposed?!"
He'd been hiding so carefully for decades, why was he still discovered, you bastard!
