Catching his breath, Buggy managed to calm his fear. Like his crew, he had been frightened to see so many cannonballs attempting to hit the boat, forcing them to flee in haste. However, several people were now repairing the left side of the boat, which had been hit by a cannonball.
"What does that mean?" Morgan wanted to know. "Why did you shoot us? This island wasn't supposed to be the end of the race?"
Looking at the Eternal Pose, Zala retorted.
"The Eternal Pose continues to point in its direction! Impossible that it is not this island! I do not understand!"
"Isn't it broken?" Bull asked.
"I would be amazed! After all, we weren't the only pirates to make it to this island."
Suddenly, Kuro grabbed the Eternal Pose and began to stare at it. Then suddenly veins of anger appeared on his forehead.
"The motherfucker!"
Then, scratching the name of the island with his thumb, he removed the small golden plaque, allowing everyone to see the name of another island.
"Navarone?" Megumin wondered. " What's this ? "
"A Navy base," Zala asserted. "In other words, it was the worst place for a boat like us! No wonder they shot us."
"What?" Buggy wondered, grabbing the Eternal Pose. "NAVARONE? What does that mean? What about the race? What about the 300 million?"
"You still not get it?" Kuro asked him. "There is no race! No reward."
"What ? "
"Everyone has been cheated!" Magi declared. "The bookmaker had to organize this race while being in collaboration with the Navy! And we, as idiots, we fell in the trap."
"The son of a bitch!" Morgan roared. "In that case, let's go back to Hannabal and destroy his face."
"It is Gasparde who is responsible for all this."
Surprised, everyone turned to see Anaguma, who declared.
"The other day I saw a huge stock of Eternal Pose, aboard our ship! It was leading all the way to Navarone."
"Navarone ..."
"That asshole ...!"
"He sold us to the Navy."
Smiling, Kuro tried to put his glasses back on with his hand. Nonetheless, he was shaking so much with rage that he found it difficult to make this simple gesture.
"I'm going to kill him ... "
"That motherfucker made fun of us," Morgan roared, hitting a barrel. "How dare he?"
"This guy must be laughing, thinking he killed us," Cabaji asserted. "This guy is ready to perform any betrayal he can! He's junk."
Seeing that most of the men were angry, Alvida finally declared.
"Stop fidgeting! Anyway, what do you want to do? Attack, Gasparde for revenge? This is insane! I remind you that our starting plan was to gain this road, without meeting the road. de Gasparde! We know he's powerful and formidable, and you still want to go fight him! are you stupid? "
Saying nothing, Magi finally turned his gaze to Buggy, who turned his back on them.
"Captain?"
Still holding the Eternal Pose in his hand, Buggy ends up breaking it. Then, turning to his crew, he declared.
"It's not a question of stupidity! But of honor and pride."
"What?" Alvida wondered.
"Megumin ... have you regained your strength?"
"Aye ..." the child asserted.
"In this case, prohibition for you to use your magic before finding Gasparde! In case of problem, it is you who will put him on the ground."
Then, looking at the rest of his crew, he said.
"We're going to kill Gasparde."
Again, the rest of his men displayed surprise, seeing him talking seriously. Then, finally, even knowing the strength of the adversary, several men grabbed their weapons and began to wave them skyward while shouting.
"YEAH! BUGGY! BUGGY! BUGGY! BUGGY!"
Smiling too, Morgan and Kuro were ready for a fight, as were Drophy and Babe. For his part, heaving a tired sigh, Alvida preferred to sit down, while Zala quietly smoked her pipe. Then she wanted to know.
"By the way, how are we going to catch up with Gasparde?"
"Huh?" Several pirates wondered.
"We don't know where he is."
Immediately everyone turned to Buggy, hoping he had a plan.
"Huh ... I ..."
Suddenly, rummaging through his clothes, Anaguma pulled out a piece of paper.
"You can find him with that."
"Hmm?" Buggy wondered, looking at the piece of paper. "A vivre card?"
"It's my grandfather's." Asserted the child. "It was the only way I had to get back to Gasparde's boat after killing you."
"But then, that means…" Morge began.
"That we can find Gasparde." Bull understood.
"Ok! Get the cannons ready! Because before the end of the day we will sink Gasparde's boat."
"YEAH!"
"It's over." Meowth announced. "Starting tonight, we can leave this boat."
"Finally!" Jessie rejoices, while looking at the map of the boat. "Now all we have to do is get Wobbeffut and the others."
"And are you really sure your plan will work, Meowth?" James asked him. "If we fail our escape, Gasparde will kill us."
"No problem." The pokemon assured. "All we need for our escape to be successful is just a diversion."
Staring at the boiler, he declared.
"If we blow up the engine, Gasparde and his men will be so busy putting out the flames that we can take the opportunity to escape without the slightest problem."
"OH?" His two friends said, clapping. "Well done, Meowth."
"Are you sure this will be enough?"
Startled, the trio suddenly saw Shuraiya watching them.
"Who are you ? "
"Want to blow up the boiler to get away from it all? Interesting."
"What do you want?" Jessie asked him.
Simply smiling, Shuraiya approached the boiler, while grabbing the ax to chop the wood.
"I think I'll help you destroy this ship."
"Eh ? "
"Like I'm gonna let you do this."
Coughing then, Biera stepped forward as best she could, almost falling to the ground.
"Um?" Shuraiya wondered, seeing him do it. "Even at your age, are you also loyal to Gasparde?"
"Don't make fun of me! This boiler, I've been in charge of it for over eight years! There's no way I'll let you destroy it! On the other hand, if you want to kill that bastard from Gasparde, don't don't bother you. "
"Hahaha! You really are a strange grandpa."
Then, turning to Team Rocket, he questioned them.
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
"I admit I don't care that this boat blows up." Jessie asserted. "We just want our pokemons back."
"There is no question that you destroy my precious boiler." Biera roared, before resuming his cough.
Seeing him drop to one knee, James crouched down beside him, declaring.
"Biera-san! Gasparde is a horrible person! Why don't you want to run away with us?"
"Where do I go? This machine room is my whole life! It has become my only reason for living."
Hearing it, Shuraiya finally sighed.
"Alright! I wouldn't destroy the boiler! Still, I would still need a diversion."
Stopping smiling, the man declared with hatred.
"And like that, I could kill Gasparde."
"Huh?" The four people around him wondered.
"Are you nuts?" Biera asked him. "Gasparde… he's a formidable man! You don't stand a chance against him."
"You bet?" Shuraiya questioned. "During all my life as bounty hunters, I have only crossed pirates, who were all the same! They are only shameless scum that loot and destroy villages! Guys like them do not deserve to live , and Gasparde will be no exception. "
Swallowing their saliva, the Team Rocket trio didn't dare say anything, thinking they were some sort of poaching team, in their world. For his part, hearing Shuraiya speak, Biera asserted.
"You… we've met before, haven't we?"
"Um? I don't know what you're talking about."
"You want to kill Gasparde, don't you? Why?"
"Because he's a pirate."
"You're lying." Biera stated. "There's another reason, right? It's revenge! Tell me! Who exactly are you?"
"Calm down!" Shuraiya advised him, seeing him try to stand up. "Turning yourself on is not good for your blood pressure."
Then, seeing the man calm down, the man told him.
"Eight years ago! Gasparde's boat arrived in the port of my island and it sacked my island! It attacked my parents, as well as my sister! In the end, after his attack, there were no more than a hundred survivors on the island where I grew up! If I became bounty hunters, it was only to track Gasparde and kill him. "
"Fool!" Biera roared. "You couldn't have found better things to do than take revenge and just let the Navy capture this guy."
"Sorry! But it's impossible! The urge to kill this guy is too strong for me to let anyone else take my revenge! If anyone is to kill Gasparde, it's me."
"Idiot! Do you realize that you are going to get killed? You're still young! Life has still got you ..."
"Grandpa, it's too late." Shuraiya retorted, while grabbing a shovel. "Have your machines become your only reason for living? My only reason for living is to kill the man who slaughtered my family."
Seeing him then leave, James couldn't help but cry out.
"He doesn't stand a chance against this monster! He must be stopped."
"And what do you want us to do?" Jessie asked. "Even with our pokemons, we didn't stand a chance against him."
Pausing to think, Meowth finally asserts.
"Maybe I have an idea that could help us get rid of Gasparde."
"Huh?"
Face bleeding, Needless and Shuraiya stared at each other, both injured after fighting each other for long minutes. Yet despite his injuries, Shuraiya dared to smile while declaring.
"I broke your arm! Do you really think you can win under these conditions?"
In response, the pirate directed his good arm towards his face, to kill him. Stooping nonetheless, Shuraiya felt his opponent's claws brush the top of his head. Then, squeezing the two pieces of his shovel he had in his hands, he aimed the sharp side at Needless's face and slammed him hard which made him fly backwards.
Spitting blood, the pale-skinned man fell at Gasparde's feet. Seeing this, the man stood up while displaying a bloodthirsty smile. Then, stepping forward, he cruelly stomped on Needless's body, who began to scream in agony. Ignoring him, Gasparde turned his attention to Shuraiya, as he declared.
"You showed me what you can do! So I'm giving you one last chance! Either you become a member of my crew or I kill you."
"I'm taking option C!" Shuraiya declared. "I am the one killing you."
"Perfect! The negotiations are further over."
Suddenly he gave Needless a powerful kick in the abdomen and saw him crash into the chimney of his boat, knocking him unconscious.
"This is the fate I reserve for people I find unnecessary."
Suddenly, losing his balance, Gasparde felt his boat change direction, while one of his two giant wheels had stopped.
"What?" He wondered.
Remembering that Shuraiya and Needless had fought over it, the man began to growl.
"My boat! Motherfucker!"
"It's over for you." Shuraiya assured.
Watching the fight through a porthole, Team Rocket also felt the ship change direction, while most of the pirates were on deck to see Gasparde fighting Shuraiya.
"This pirate hunter is super talented." Jessie asserted. "He conquered a great twice as great as him."
"With any luck he might be able to defeat Gasparde."
"Heh, now is not the time to watch the fight," Meowth asserted. "I remind you that we wanted a diversion! It's time to go get Wobbeffut and the others, as well as steal Gasparde's treasure."
"That's right." These two companions affirmed, starting to follow him towards the treasure room.
Soon, seeing the door to the room, Jessie kicked it open, while screaming.
"Wobbeffut! Mimikyu! Are you there?"
"MAREANIE! I came to get you."
"Hmm?" A trio of pirates wondered, seeing Team Rocket enter the room, which they had to watch.
Staring at them, James finally asks, fearfully.
"Why didn't they go out to see Gasparde fight?"
"Hey, who are you?" One of the pirates asked, picking up his pistol.
"FURY SWIPES!"
Meowth's claws struck the man's face, leaving nasty scratch marks. Seeing their comrade start to scream in pain, the other two pirates drew their sabers, before advancing towards Meowth.
"What's the matter with you, dirty cat?"
"Nosu are going to turn you into a fur coat."
"Jessie! James!"
Being already in front of the cages of their pokemons, the two adults tried in vain to free them. Seeing them do it, the pirate who had been scratched in the face laughed.
"Fools! These cages are made of Seastone! There is no way you can open them."
"No problem!" Jessie assured, grabbing two pokeballs.
"We have another way to free them," James announced, imitating her.
Immediately, they positioned the pokemons in front of their pokemons before shouting.
"Return."
Immediately, three red rays hit Mareanie, Wobbeffut and Mimikyu and made them disappear inside their pokeballs.
"What?" The three pirates wondered.
Then, turning to them, Jessie and James threw their pokeballs and released their pokemons. Finding themselves free, the trio stared at the pirates. Mimikyu and Mareanie, in particular, stared at them angrily.
"They've been freed! We're dead!"
"No worries! They still have their necklaces on," a pirate announced, rummaging through his pockets for the remote. " You just have to electrocute them and ... "
Suddenly, the man froze, seeing the necklaces of the three pokemons fell to the ground.
"Something wrong?" Asked Meowth, who had just used her claws to unlock the lock on the necklaces.
"WHAT ? "
Now free, Mimikyu and Mareanie leapt into the air, happy to be able to take revenge.
Mimikyu use SHADOW CLAWS
Mareanie use KNOCK OFF
Screaming in fear, the three pirates ended up being violently hit by the two pokemons.
Surrounding her body with a huge cloak, to protect herself from the rain, Alvida asserted.
"The weather is getting worse! If this continues we are going to be hit by a storm."
"Now is not the time." Morgan growled. "Damn Gasparde, he got really out of the way so as not to be attacked by the Navy."
Having a pair of binoculars, Babe suddenly saw the silhouette of a large boat in the distance.
"A BOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAATTTTTTT!"
" What ? "
Immediately, Drophy grabbed the binoculars before asserting.
"Yes! It's Gasparde's boat! I recognize it! It's him! It's him."
"The massacre will begin in three minutes," Kuro assured.
"Captain Buggy!" Cabji and Morge called him. "What are we doing? We attack the boat with the cannons or let Kuro and the others board."
"Let's come closer to attempt a boarding! But if they ever use their cannons, we'll do the same."
Suddenly the Buggy boat began to tip slightly to the right.
"What is happening ? "
Suddenly, a hand gripped the railing of the boat and the body of a fishman lifted itself out of the water.
"Gasparde ..." Willy roared, managing to drop to the floor of the boat. "Where is Gasparde?"
"A fishman?" Bull wondered.
"It's Willy! The No. 2 favorite in the race." Zala announced.
"He's really ugly." Megumin stated.
Ignoring her comment, Willy tried to stand up. nevertheless, he saw Morgan standing in front of him.
"Hey, it's not a tourist boat! We don't do charity here."
Lowering his ax to Willy's face, he tried to behead him.
"Get out of this boat."
However, despite his injuries, Willy positioned his hand in front of him and managed to block Morgan's ax.
"That ... ? "
"Where is Gasparde?" Asked the fishman.
"Gasparde?" Zala wondered. "Have you been attacked by him?"
"He slaughtered my entire crew," the Fishman roared. "He's going to pay me for it."
"He's in front of us." Megumin suddenly asserted, pointing to the silhouette of Gasparde's ship, which was becoming more and more visible.
Seeing this, Willy tried to get up. However, a cannon ball hit the ocean just behind the boat.
"What?" Buggy wondered. "More cannon fire?"
"There's a boat right behind us." Drophy asserted, seeing her through his binoculars. "It's the Navy."
"What ? "
"Commander Dreak (G-8)! We have found the pirate ship that was sighted near Navarone."
"Perfect! Did you identify her jolly roger?"
"Yes! This is the famous alliance of the captains of East-Blue, led by Buggy, the clown."
"What? Are you sure?"
"Affirmative!" Asserted a soldier, looking at the boat through his binoculars. "I see the former pirate captain, Kuro! The former colonel, Morgan! Megumin, the archiwizard! The former member of the Baroque works, Zala! They are all famous criminals wanted by the Navy."
"Okay! In that case, get ready to sink this ship."
Suddenly, the man holding the binoculars started screaming.
"There's another pirate ship! It's Gasparde's."
"What?" Dreak wondered, grabbing the binoculars. "
Seeing Gasparde's boat, the man began to roar.
"That traitor! Change of plan! Attack this ship first and then we'll deal with Buggy's."
