Chapter 19

"Now is not the time to laugh!!"

Both Luffy and Zoro were laughing. This relaxed and comfortable look made Nami a little angry. She turned to look at Lot, whom he considered the most reliable, and found that the latter was also the one. Looks like it doesn't matter

"Um? What do you want me to do?

Noticing Nami's gaze, Lot shrugged,"The captain's order is the biggest here. Nami, you have to pay attention to this when you become one of us.""

"Who is one of you?"

Nami retorted angrily.

"It's fine! I like that uncle. He will never be allowed to die."

Finally, Luffy expressed his stance.

The meaning of his words was self-evident.

This made Nami feel relieved. Although she didn't know if she could defeat those pirates, she was still more powerful than a woman like her. Okay.

However, she is still a little worried about the strength gap between the two parties:"You can laugh so happily now, how can you get the confidence?!"

"Our goal is [The Great Route]! Now go get the treasure map back!"Luffy said confidently, his eyes on Nami:"Become our partner! You want a treasure map and treasure, right?"

As he said that, Luffy stretched out his hand towards Nami.

"..."

'How come everyone thinks of me as one of you, including that bastard Lot and this idiot Captain! '

Although the group in front of her was very different from the pirates she had met, the past was like a thorn in her heart. After all, she hated the word pirate very much.

"I will never be a pirate!"

Taking a deep breath, Nami slapped Luffy's hand away:"We are just cooperating temporarily, for our own benefit!"

"Based on the feedback from my last clone——"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Lot opened his mouth to report the enemy's situation.

"There are about 30 people in this group of pirates. Most of them are just minions. Just ignore them. There are three people worth noting. The captain Buggy is a Devil Fruit user, and the chief of staff Kabaki is a knife user. The specific strength is unclear. , but it is definitely better than the minions, and the beast trainer Moltke has been defeated by me, and he will probably not be able to get up for a while, and the powerful cannon was also destroyed by my clone."

"Therefore, our biggest enemy is a devil fruit user, a knife wielder"

"As expected of Lot! So reliable!"

Putting aside the matter of inviting Nami on board for the time being, Luffy gave Lot a thumbs up.

"Humph, just leave the one with the knife to me!"

Zauron has chosen his enemies.

"Do you want to go even if you are injured like this?"

Looking at Zoro who tied the scarf that was originally tied to his arms to his head, Nami sounded worried.

The bandage that tied his abdomen was soaked with blood.

"It's just a minor wound that won't kill me. Compared with leaving this little blood, the humiliation of being successfully attacked by that despicable villain makes me sicker. Zoro said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Walk! Go beat that bastard away and get our treasure and the treasure map back!"

Luffy clasped his fists, his joints crackling, his expression full of energy.....

"Come and compete with me!! Bucky the Clown!!"

Butel, who set off before Luffy and others, came to the house occupied by Bucky the Clown, and he shouted loudly towards the figure on the roof.

"Ah——"

Bucky sneered, and just as he was about to get rid of this ignorant old man, a man with long bangs covering half of his face spoke first,"Captain Bucky, let me deal with this kind of unknown guy!"

Bucky! After finishing speaking, the chief of staff of the pirate group, Kabaki, raised his head, opened his mouth, and under the cheers of his younger brother, he pulled out a long knife from his mouth.

"Damn it! If someone wants to find me, please step back!"

However, Bucky did not give his chief of staff a chance to show off.

As a pirate, if others wanted to challenge him by name, if he hid behind his subordinates, where would he, a former crew member of One Piece, be able to show his dignity?!

"Hello! Why are you challenging me? Do you want to become famous? Bucky asked, looking down at the decades-old man.

"nonsense!! I'm here to protect this town!! Protect my [treasure]]!!"

Bootle expressed his determination

"Hahaha——"

However, his will was mercilessly ridiculed by Bucky the Clown,"You are such an idiot! [Treasure] refers to gold and silver treasures! Only treasures that can win face for their master and show their majesty are called treasures!!""

"Is this town a treasure? Do not make jokes!!"

Facing the enemy's ridicule, Bult gritted his teeth,"Asshole!! I never wanted someone like you to understand me!!"

"Get out of here!!"

"Get off?

Bucky the Clown sneered,"I hate this sentence the most!"!"

The next moment, Clown Bucky's right hand ejected like a cannonball

"Wow!!"

Obviously, Bootle had no ability to resist the sudden attack of a Devil Fruit user. In just a blink of an eye, he was choked by Bucky's right hand as he flew away, and then he was lifted into the air.

"This kind of…"

Bootle grabbed the right hand that was holding his neck with all his strength, and found that he could not move it even an inch, so he roared"Such a trick!!", and then did something that surprised everyone present.

He made fists with both hands and punched Bucky's right hand hard.

"puff!"

The same force also spread to Bootle's own neck, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

"It hurts!! Damn it!!"

The right hand was separated, but the nerves were still connected to the brain. Bucky, who was in pain, did not let go, but instead increased the strength of his right hand.

"What a hopeless fool!!"

"Cough cough cough!!"

The fatal feeling of suffocation came over, causing Butel to immediately give up his strength, but he still held on to the right hand and made a final struggle.

Because – if he didn't resist like this until the end, he would die without peace of mind!!

"You actually told me to get out? Who do you think you are talking to!! who I am? What do you think!! Seeing that

Bootle's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Bucky began to speak out his own dream arrogantly:

"I am the big man who will dominate the [Grand Line] and get all the treasures in the world in the future!! All the treasures in the world are mine!! No one else needs to have treasure except me!!"

"Just die here with your worthless treasure!! Bucky snorted coldly, not intending to continue chatting with the old man, so he increased the strength of his right hand, intending to strangle him to death.

But at this moment, an irresistible force grabbed his right hand, and Bootle also suddenly felt his neck loosen, and then his whole body fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha——"

Bootle, who had survived the disaster, breathed in fresh air. When his brain, which was hazy due to lack of oxygen, regained clarity, he had the strength to raise his head and wonder who had saved him.

And that person is exactly——

"The guy in the straw hat!!"

Bucky the Clown shouted out the identity of the person with splitting eyes.
