35 Ruler of East Blue

Logia was considered the strongest among the three types of Devil Fruit. Logia's best feature was that the user could turn their body's composition into a natural element at will, rendering physical attacks ineffective against them. Aside from elements that countered them, only Color of Arms Haki, sea stone, and Dark-Dark Fruit could strike Logia's physical body.

In the few days after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit, Giotto had completely mastered the technique of turning his body composition. Now, he could turn any part of his body into flames. Even if his body was struck by pure physical attacks, he could instantly reform his body with flames. However, if he wanted to combine the flames of the Flame-Flame Fruit with his own Dying Will Flame, he would need much more time and effort.

After all, Dying Will Flame was not a real flame. Logically speaking, attempting to do so was not very scientific. Then again, could Devil Fruit be explained with science?

"The next objective would be Skypiea. City of Gold and Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The former would definitely still be in Upper Yard. The latter was still unknown whether it had been eaten by Enel yet or not, but it'd be best if he had not eaten it. However, if he had already eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he'd bring Enel to his side. With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his possession, he'd be really powerful in the future as long as he was diligent in his training."

Giotto was already thinking about Skypiea since he had no other business in East Blue now.

"Giotto! Giotto!"

Suddenly, Buggy pushed open the door with a flustered face and said anxiously, "We are surrounded. You have to help me. That bastard actually wants me to hand over all the treasures!"

"Who?"

"East Blue's most powerful pirate, Fierce Ghost Hughman. That guy had a bounty of 59 million. I am definitely no match against him!" Buggy now expressed his fear. At the same time, he felt very unlucky. East Blue was so big, how could he encounter the Fierce Ghost Pirates so randomly?

Giotto looked at Buggy weirdly and did not know where to start to complain.

This was just East Blue!

He was a Devil Fruit user, what were you afraid of? Even if Fierce Ghost Hughman was stronger than him, what could he do to him?

A person with a bounty of 970,000,000 Belly was also there with him, yet he was scared of a small fry with a bounty of less than 100 million,

"Sigh, you sure have changed a lot, Buggy..."

Giotto shook his head helplessly and stood up. "During our days as part of Roger Pirates, we even fight Whitebeard Pirates many times, and you're never scared. I remember that you seemed to be very excited about the battle at that time. Why are you so timid now? Or don't tell me that the Fierce Ghost Pirates is more terrifying than Whitebeard?"

Hearing this, Buggy was stunned at first, then scratched his head with an embarrassed face. "Well, we have Captain and Rayleigh-san in the past. Now, I am alone, so the situation is different."

"Well, leave this matter to me. After all, it is thanks to you that I can find the island. Consider this as my way to return the favor."

After the voice fell, Giotto went directly to the deck.

Seeing that Giotto was willing to support him, Buggy immediately stood tall.

After walking to the deck, Giotto also saw that there were five pirate ships surrounding them. Using Color of Observation Haki, he could also sense that there were more than five hundred people aboard those ships. In other words, each ship had about a hundred people.

But for Giotto, these five hundred people were nothing but small fries!

In the future, the Krieg Pirates also made their name in East Blue. Although Captain Krieg only had 17 million Bounty, he had a total of five thousand men under him and fifty fleets, which was much larger than this Fierce Ghost Sea Gang.

But how was the result?

Hawkeye didn't even consider them as a warm-up as he wiped them all out effortlessly.

"Tell them that it's not too late to leave now." Giotto glanced around and said to Buggy beside him.

As soon as he heard this, Buggy immediately walked forward a few steps and then shouted with an arrogant expression: "All the idiots of the Fierce Ghost Sea Gang, listen up. I am in a good mood today, and I will give you a chance to live. Get out of my sight immediately if you don't want to be buried in this sea!"

Giotto finally realized how Buggy could be so bold when he faced Whitebeard Pirates back then.

Sure enough, after having someone to support him, he was like a whole different guy. It was as if he was the one surrounding these five hundred pirates.

"Kuhaha, red-nosed clown, are you planning to make me laugh to death and then inherit my fleet? Do you want to bury me in the sea with just a dozen of you?"

The bare-chested strong man with bright red tattoos couldn't help but laugh at this moment. He was the pirate with the highest Bounty for East Blue, Fierce Ghost Hughman.

"Who are you calling Red-nosed? Believe it or not, I will take your head off and use it as a urinal later! A meathead with lipstick all over his body, an idiot that can't do shit outside East Blue. Who do you think I am?" Buggy hated the most when others made fun of his nose, and he'd go crazy every time he heard similar words.

His words instantly silenced the laughing Hughman. As the ruler of East Blue, he wouldn't let anyone insult him like that.

"Damn brat!"

Hughman could no longer contain his anger. "Fuckers, kill all these guys for me! The one who kills that red-nose brat will be promoted to an official. If an official gets it, they will be rewarded with five million Belly!"

The Fierce Ghost Pirates became excited. They did not expect that Buggy's words could bring them such good benefits. Some people even secretly decided that they would visit Buggy's grave to thank him after cutting off Buggy's red nose.

"Are East Blue's pirates always this noisy?"

At this time, Giotto slowly stepped forward. His right arm was completely covered in flame, and a strong momentum like a storm spread in all directions. "I gave you a chance before, so it's too late to leave now. There are a total of five hundred and thirty-seven people. It's perfect for trying my new power..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Giotto leaped up and locked onto the ship belonging to Fierce Ghost Pirates in mid-air. Then, he launched the flame on his right fist at the next moment.

At the same time, a low voice sounded.

"Fire Fist!"
