Chapter 31

"The treasure is near Cocoyasi village." Buggy looked at the map and then revealed the real location.

Taking the map back, Vermillion said. "I don't plan on going to that village. So could you go there and find the treasure for me?"

"Yes, yes!" Buggy nodded quickly. "Leave it to me, sir! I will definitely find the treasure and give it to you."

Even though Buggy agreed verbally, but in his heart, he wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible. As for the treasure, he didn't plan to hand it over to Vermillion after finding it.

'If this man tries to come after me in the future, I may have to pay a visit to Shanks' ship for help.' Buggy said to himself.

"But there is one other problem now, I don't know how much I can get from all those treasures." Vermillion said while stroking his chin, not caring about Buggy's ruse.

"Consider it all worth six hundred million Belly, I want you to buy me two Devil Fruits with that treasure."

"With so many Belly, you're asking me to buy two Devil Fruits?!" Even though Buggy only agreed verbally, he was still shocked when he heard the man's words.

After all, he didn't know whether the treasure map was real or not. As for if the map was real, he wasn't sure the treasure would be as much as Vermillion had said it would be.

"One Devil Fruit costs one hundred million Belly on the market. If you buy me two, then you have four hundred million Belly left. So do you agree, Buggy?"

"One hundred million Belly is the bare minimum, the actual price is uncertain. Even if you have six hundred million Belly, buying two Devil Fruits is extremely difficult." Buggy swallowed his saliva.

"Oh? You mean you don't agree?" Vermillion said with a feigned serious look.

"No, no! I agree." Buggy quickly nodded his head while breaking out in cold sweat.

"Good." Vermillion looked up at the sky, which was gradually brightening. "Looks like the weather is clear again, I shall go now."

"Oh, for the ropes that bind you... can you untie them yourself? After all you are pirates, pirates should be able to free themselves."

"By the way, I took the Octopus Devil Fruit that you kept under your bed. See you soon!" Vermillion smiled while waving his hand.

"Nani?!"

Like falling down a ladder, Buggy didn't expect that the treasure and the two Devil Fruits he had were stolen by that man! Hearing this news, Buggy felt like fainting.

"I hope you don't break your promise, otherwise..." The tip of Vermillion's index finger started to shine brightly. Then the light shot towards Buggy!

Grasping Buggy's cheek, the light instantly exploded as it hit the ground.

Looking back, Buggy turned pale when he saw that the ground had turned into a deep crater!

"We will meet again in the future!"

Seeing the Golden Hind gradually disappear in the distance, Buggy immediately felt relieved. Today was a hard day for him and his pirates.

"Captain Buggy, I got the food!" Mohji, who put his prey on his shoulder, came back and informed his Captain.

"Let's go. I don't want to stay in this place any longer." Buggy replied, then he jumped into the ship.

"Captain Buggy, are we really going to buy them two Devil Fruits?" Remembering the people they had fought before, Mohji was instantly frightened.

"Huh? Are Devil Fruits easy to get?!" Buggy shouted, "All we need to do is stay away from them."

"But if there is a chance, I will try to get the two Devil Fruits they want." Buggy said while remembering the previous light attack. The attack reminded him of Borsalino.

"Okay, let's go!" Buggy reminded his men.

"Yes, Captain!"

All the pirates answered in unison.

***

Golden Hind.

"Master, is that red nose guy really going to give us the two Devil Fruits we want?" Tsunade sat near Vermillion, asking.

"Who knows, maybe he really wants to do it. I just did it to scare him anyway." Vermillion rested his head on Tsunade's soft thigh.
