Home Run!!

They had a lion as their new captain, and he almost got cooked by cannibals! With that level of smarts, it's a miracle they've lasted as pirates for so long.

"Who are you guys?! Don't you know this is the territory of Buggy's Pirate Crew?!"

The obvious flag above their base was hard to miss. What a stupid question…

"How dare you disrespect our great Captain Buggy? What do you want? Do you want to die?!"

With our hands already raised, what do you think we want?!

Link thought these questions from Cabaji and Mohji were so dumb he didn't even want to answer.

"They must be Buggy's officers…"

Link pointed to the two guys and asked Zoro, "Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

Zoro had a wild grin on his face, a look he hadn't shown in a long time. "I'll take the guy with the swords!"

He had his eyes on Cabaji. For some reason, he just didn't like the guy with one eye covered by his hair.

"I'll handle the one in the white bear costume and the big cat."

Link shrugged, not too worried.

"Who's wearing a white bear costume?! And don't make decisions for us, you idiot!"

"Woof! Woof! (You're the cat! Your whole family is cats!)"

They looked like circus clowns, all big and silly.

"Richie, go! Bite him to death!"

Zoro charged at Cabaji, and when Mohji saw Link approaching, he slammed his whip down hard on the ground.

"Roar!"

Richie growled loudly, commanding the attention of the room with the presence of a king of beasts.

Seeing this, the nearby pirates stepped back, smirking at the scene.

"Go, Richie! Tear that pretty boy to shreds!"

"Tch! He's even better looking than me! I won't allow anyone else to be better looking in this world except Captain Buggy, Vice Captain Mohji, and Lord Cabaji!"

"Make this party exciting, Richie!"

The crew cheered loudly, and even Mohji didn't seem to take Link seriously.

He felt that the guy in front of him was just some pampered young master who couldn't handle himself.

Nami, on the other hand, had some faith in Link. After all, she had seen his skills with the Lightning Blade.

But right now…

"Hey, hey, I said…"

Nami suddenly felt something was off. "Aren't you going to take out your weapon?"

She watched as Link walked up empty-handed.

"No need!"

Link shrugged his shoulders. "I don't need a weapon to deal with him, and…"

He smiled. "I'm not the same me from three days ago."

In those three days, he had obtained three really good items.

Now, even without using the Lightning Blade, he could handle most enemies.

He felt reborn!

"Go, Richie! Tear this guy apart!"

"Roar!"

Hearing his master's command, Richie let out a roar and lunged at Link, mouth wide open to bite him.

"Feel Richie's power!"

Mohji waved his whip proudly, but suddenly he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye.

He saw Richie's massive body coming toward him fast.

Mohji froze. Was Richie really flying towards him…?

Boom!

Before he could finish his thought, it felt like a big truck had hit him.

"Ugh…"

Richie crashed into Mohji, knocking several teeth out as he was sent flying.

"Ow, ow, ow…"

Meanwhile, Buggy's head had just poked out from the wall.

"Who the hell had the guts to come and cause trouble in Captain Buggy's territory? And dare to disrespect me…"

He rubbed his temple, furious.

In his anger, his bright red nose seemed even brighter.

"I'm going to make those guys pay…"

Before he could finish his thought, a strong wind suddenly rushed toward him.

Before he could lift his head, a shadow crashed right into his face.

Boom!

Before he could even process what was happening, he was smashed back into the wall again.

And the face next to him was his vice captain, Mohji, who was now stuck to him. And right next to Mohji was Richie.

The three of them looked like a stacking game, piled up against the wall.

"Bingo! All in!"

Link clapped his hands, a smirk forming on his lips. "Home run!"

"Wow… that's amazing!"

Nami's mouth dropped open, her big eyes wide as a bead of sweat trickled down her cheek.

She had just seen everything happen in front of her.

Before the giant lion even got close to Link, his figure suddenly vanished in front of her eyes.

When he reappeared, he was right in front of the big lion.

Before the lion could even react, Link simply grabbed it with one hand and tossed it toward the man in the white bear costume, who was lined up directly with Buggy.

In a straight line, it was like a "fun pop shot."

What an incredible display!
