The Tragic Buffett

Ten large sailing ships were lined up in the sea next to the Kingdom of Aethius.

On the main ship, which was clearly the larger of the ten sailing ships, two burly men talked.

"Kanojao-dono, despite some disrespect, but I still have to say. You are perhaps too reckless this time. For example, the Demon Sword Apophis is a powerful person with a horrible reputation on the Grand Line. You agreed to Buffett's request without discussing it with Chinjao-dono this time, in case..."

"That's enough! I hope you can remember that I am the leader of the Happo Navy!" Kanojao roared in anger before calming down and saying, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive."

The man who spoke was not impressed and shook his head and smiled: "Kanojao-dono, I understand your feelings of not wanting to use the power of Chinjao-dono. But you should know that he is your father after all, and no one would blame you for using the power of your own father."

"Understand? No, you guys never understand!" Kanojao once again became agitated and said in an urgent tone, "No matter what I have done, no matter what kind of achievements I have made, you guys will only associate it with my father. As for me, I'm already 28 years old, and you guys still only treat me like a child. No matter what I do, I have to go through my father first. And yet, obviously, I am the head of the Happo Navy. I am the pillar of the Happo Navy. Why can't my words, my decisions never count?"

"I've had enough of these days!"

The only way to speak to the man is to be silent. He is really not good at commenting on such things.

"I know that guy named Apophis is not simple, but that's exactly why I'll agree to that mafia leader's request. I'll use his life's blood as well as his head to establish my true authority in the Happo Navy!"

"This..." said the man smiled bitterly, and shook his head, secretly thinking, 'Forget it, it's good to let Don Kanojao suffer a little bit. After all, even if that Apophis is crazy enough for us just because we came to help, it would be completely offended Don Chinjao, a real pirate like that, right?'

When he was thinking this, the pirates belonging to the Happo Navy came running over in a hurry to report.

"Kanojao-dono, Rōge-dono, we have arrived at the kingdom of Aethius, but, but..."

"Tell me everything!" Rōge frowned and shouted out loud.

"This, this... both of you, you should come out and look at it yourselves!"

"What a strong smell of blood. There is also the smell of burnt human flesh, mixed with the smell of smoke ...," said Rōge, who walked to the door with a tight frown and quickly walked out.

"Hiss!" After seeing the situation in front of him, the battle-hardened pirates like Rōge couldn't help but retreat with sighs of fear.

The original busy port has fallen into ruin. There are ruins everywhere, remnants of corpses in pieces, which is the most gruesome hell on earth is also.

"Is that guy... really the devil?" Although Kanojao did not vomit out like a rookie, but his pale paper-like face proved that his mind was definitely not as calm as it appeared on the outside.

"Apophis is no more than a man. This kind of thing, it can't be completely led by him alone." Rōge calmed down his restless mind and analyzed calmly.

"We caught few members of the mafia who had been scared out of their minds and forced to ask them. A rough guess is that Buffett should have planted a bomb here intending to blow up the entire port..." replied the pirate next to him.

"Worthy of being a top mafia leader, that guy Buffett is really ruthless enough!" Rōge took a deep breath and asked, "What about Apophis? Is he dead already?"

"No, the final result was that Apophis was unharmed. Instead, it completely destroyed them themselves!"

"How can it be that it was unharmed? It looks like this guy is even more tricky than we thought!" Rōge's face was grave as the other party's strength had exceeded his imagination, "Kanojao-dono, why don't we retreat first and wait until we fetch Chinjao-dono?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Rōge felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, after hearing his advice, Kanojao, who had been retreating, turned cold, "Do you think I would be scared by such a small spectacle? It's just a little-known swordsman. Let's see how I can use Hasshoken to defeat him!"

...

Apophis stepped forward and trampled Buffett at his feet, "Your slaver ship ever reached Oscar Island, did it?"

"Slaver... Oscar Island... " said Buffett with a confused look on his face, coughing up blood and asking, "What the hell are you talking about it? Did you not come to kill me?"

"Also, maybe you won't even focus on it, so let me ask another way. Where did you put the records you have about the slaver ship?"

"Slaver... Yes, most of the people you target are slave owners or mafia-like me who have been involved in human trafficking... " Buffett had a dawning look on his face. "I see, there must be someone you care about a lot who was taken as a slave. That's why you're looking for people like us everywhere like a mad dog, intending to get information about that person from us."

"Hahahahaha! Demon Sword Apophis, I didn't expect you to have this kind of experience. I can really feel sad for you!" Feeling that he had captured the other party's nail, Buffett's tone became all the more rampant and brazen.

"To get information from me, you have to keep me at least safe."

"With your hatred for the slavers, once you get that information, you will never let me leave alive, which you and I both know very well."

"So, you also don't expect to be able to force any information out of me. I am a person who is very afraid of death, and compared to death, your torture methods are not worth mentioning."

Apophis withdrew his right foot, stepping on his opponent and walking to the side without saying a word.

"Perfect, perfect, mutual respect is the premise of cooperation!" When Apophis, such a fierce man, also yielded, there is a sense of accomplishment in the heart of Buffett and said proudly, "Originally, if you sincerely begged at home, I will also consider a friend. But, now your approach makes me very difficult. If you just hand over the things to you, it is difficult for me to give my men an explanation as to the head, but if not, it will hurt the peace between us."

"So what? I thought about it and finally came up with a way to have the best of both worlds. As long as you're willing to agree to my three conditions, I'll... bastard, are you listening to me or not!"

"Wait, what is that thing you're holding?" After Buffett, who was lying on the ground, glanced at the booklet in Apophis' hand out of the corner of his eye, his anger was instantly quenched, and what remained was only unspeakable fear.

"Transaction records," Apophis said briefly and concisely.

"You... how could you find it so quickly? It s obvious that I hid it in the most secret places before!"

"Dead people don't need to know that much."

"Dead people? Wait, I still have..."

Apophis swung his sword, and the man's head with wide eyes rolled to the side with bones.

After a long time, Apophis tossed the booklet aside and sighed softly, "Was the last deal with Oscar Island seven years ago? It seems to be another wrong person again. How tragic for you, Buffett-san!"
