Eating whatever was on his table, Buggy then grabbed a huge glass of sake, and took a sip.

"HAHAHA! That is the life of a king."

"Are you still hungry after we just ate?" Alvida asked him.

"Idiot! When a pirate can get an all-you-can-eat free meal, he has an obligation to make the most of it."

"Geez, you only assume you are a pirate when there are advantages." Zala remarked, smoking with her pipe. "But when it comes to fighting, you act like a coward."

"SHUT UP!" Buggy roared, throwing his drink at her.

Simply tilting her head to the side, Zala easily dodged the object that continued to fly, until it slammed into Morgan's face. Stopping in fear, Buggy saw the man stand up calmly, before grabbing a barrel of alcohol.

"DIE!" The man roared, throwing the barrel at him.

Screaming, seeing the huge object fly towards him, Buggy immediately fragmented, and managed to avoid the barrel, which shattered as it hit the table just behind the clown.

"Motherfucker!" Buggy roared. "Did you want to kill me, or what?"

"You started it." Morgan retorted.

Suddenly, the colossus felt a hand grab the back of his head, before smashing it against the table, which snapped in two.

"What…?" Buggy and the others wondered.

Staring at the body of Morgan who was now on the ground, his attacker was a man dressed in yellow, whose body was completely drenched in beer.

"This is for the barrel you threw at me." The man roared.

Suddenly jumping back, he dodged the claws that Kuro had just put on at the last minute, and landed on a table where other pirates were eating.

"What…?" The pirates wondered, seeing the stranger's feet crush their food.

For his part, the man in yellow put his hand on his cheek, noticing that Kuro had managed to scratch him.

"Hey, can I know what you're up to?" Kuro wanted to know. "If you want me to kill, all you have to do is ask politely."

"Huh? Are you telling me that, when you just interrupted my meal by throwing a barrel at me? I hate people who waste food."

"You too are doing it." The pirates roared around him. "Why are you trampling our food?"

"Oops, sorry!" The man apologized, leaving the table.

Then, facing Buggy and his men, he cried out.

"Stop messing around just because you're pirates! That's childish behavior."

However, he jumped to the side again, to avoid Morgan's huge ax. The hateful face, the man had risen and now wanted to transform the man who had hit him, into minced meat.

"You're a dead man," Morgan roared, trying to cut him in half.

Screaming in fear, other pirates fled, seeing her slaughter her ax on their table, pulverizing it. Continuing to pulverize everything, Morgan pursued his attacker, who smiled arrogantly.

"You, you don't know who I am, do you?"

"I don't care who you are!" Morgan roared, spraying another table. "You, on the other hand, will understand why my name is Morgan, the Ax-hand."

Dodging his ax again, the man ducked before finding himself in front of Morgan's abdomen. Then, moving his arms quickly, he then threw them against the belly of the former colonel, which he managed to eject at the feet of Buggy, who jumped in fear, seeing his comrade being unconscious.

"He knocked him out in one fell swoop?" Drophy wondered.

"I am Shuraiya Bascud! A pirate hunter."

"Shuraiya ...?"

"Hey, you !" A pirate growled.

Immediately, the small group of pirates and Shuraiya realized that they were surrounded by a hundred pirates, most of whom were the former occupants of the tables that Morgan had just destroyed.

"Do you know who you just attacked?" One of the pirates asked. "We are Gasparde's men! So don't even think of getting out of it unscathed after what you just did."

"Gasparde?" Shuraiya repeated.

"The favorite in the race," Alvida recalled.

"What?" Buggy panicked. "Wait, so that means if we start to fight against his men, he will also come to fight us? Oh no! Now is not the time for us to fight and certainly not here."

Then approaching the pirates of Gasparde, he began to rub his hands, before asserting.

"I apologize for the deplorable behavior of my crew! But, you know, it is often difficult for a captain to maintain his men! If you want, I offer you a liquor round, to make us forgive."

"Shut up, you!" Roared a pirate, before beheading him with his saber.

At first surprised, Buggy ends up showing veins of rage on his forehead.

"I'm fed up!" He roared, showing daggers between his fingers.

"What…?" The pirates wondered, seeing him still alive.

Directing his hands towards them, Buggy propelled them away from his body and made them fly towards his enemies, who were slashed by his daggers.

"What…?" A pirate wondered, seeing a few of his comrades fall to the ground. "How did he do that?"

"Devil fruit! He's like Captain Gasparde."

"Damn it! But who are you?"

"Me?" Buggy asked, hanging his hands back on the rest of his body.

Suddenly licking the blades of his weapons, to appear more threatening, he declared.

"I'm Buggy, the clown! The captain of that pirate crew from East Blue! And if I came here, it certainly wasn't to be insulted by lousy pirates like you."

"Captain? Is he the captain of this crew?"

"That doesn't surprise me! Only a guy with the powers of a devil fruit can be the captain of a crew like his."

"We apologize! No need to get upset."

Annoyed by the behavior of his companions, a pirate roars.

"You cowards! What are you afraid of? This guy is all alone! We can easily kill him by fighting him together."

"All alone?" Buggy repeated, displaying a confident smile. "You idiots! Can't you see my comrades right behind me?"

"Look behind you," the pirates suddenly advised him.

Surprised, Buggy turned around, and all his confidence vanished the instant he saw his comrades who were once again seated around their table, except Morgan who was still on the floor.

"What are you doing ? "

"Um?" Alvida wondered. "We'll let you take care of it, Captain! Right now you're doing very well on your own."

"Yeah! Good luck, Captain."

"We are counting on you to do us honor, Captain."

"BAND OF TRAITORS !" Roared the clown, before avoiding the blade of a saber.

"Let's kill him."

"I'll have your head, the clown."

Soon, continuing to remain seated, Buggy's comrades saw him start to flee, pursued by the Gasparde pirates. For his part, also being attacked, Shuraiya agilely dodged each of the bullets addressed to him and, using the strength of his fists and feet, knocking out the pirates with great ease.

"It's weird, but I'm ashamed of our captain's performance, when I watch this guy."

"That's okay! This guy is pulverizing his opponents, while this moron clown is making antics."

"Hey!" Suddenly roared some pirates, advancing towards them. "Do you really think we're going to spare you?"

Showing a lustful smile, one of them put his arm on Alvida's shoulders and declared.

"Hey, honey! Wouldn't you like to come with us, so that I can show you what the pirates of Gasparde are capable of?"

"Of course your girlfriend is welcome too." Another pirate asserted, approaching Zala.

Remaining perfectly calm, Alvida drank a glass of wine. Then, when she was done, she put it on the table, before asserting.

"You have two seconds to remove your arm from my shoulder."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the man's head was crushed by Alvida's huge club, which smashed him to the ground.

"What?" The pirate next to Zala wondered.

Suddenly, revealing thorns on her arm, the young woman administered a powerful attack in the abdomen, which made him cough up blood. Seeing the two men fall to the ground, most of the other pirates took a step back. Seeing that his wine bottle was empty, Kuro suddenly stood up from his chair, before asserting.

"I'll get another bottle ! Try to kill those fools when I get back."

However, no sooner had he taken a few steps than the tip of a revolver was aimed at his head.

"Um?" Kuro said simply, not at all afraid of the man threatening him.

"Hey, where do you think you're going, asshole? Here we are the ones who decide whether you have the right to go or not."

Still standing still, Kuro questioned him.

"Do you really understand the situation you find yourself in?"

"What? What are you talking about? I have a gun and you don't."

"That's the problem." Kuro assured. "Even with a gun, you're never going to be fast enough to take me down."

Seeing then the former pirate captain display a look that terrified him, Gasparde's pirate immediately fired. However, much to the surprise of the other pirates, the projectile did not hit Kuro, as he seemed to have disappeared.

"What…?" The pirate wondered.

"I warned you," a voice assured behind his back.

Turning around, the man was surprised to see Kuro, gently lifting his glasses, while having his long claws covered in blood.

"I hate pirate morons like you."

And before he could react, the pirate felt deep wounds slash his abdomen, making him vomit blood. Around him, three other pirates suffered the same fate.

Smiling cruelly, Kuro sat down on one of the bodies, before looking at the other pirates with a cruel grin.

"Don't worry! Despite appearances, I'm a very nice pirate! And that's why I allow you to attack me, all together, at the same time! And like that, I would kill you at the same time , so that there is no jealousy. "

Stepping back further, to get away from Kuro, a few pirates approached Morgan's body. at that moment, opening his eyes, the man rose to his feet. Then, not even trying to figure out the situation, he attacked the pirates in front of him.

With an ax, he cut off their backs, knocking them to the ground.

"Where is he?" The man roared, looking for Shuraiya. "Where is that bastard?"

Seeing the huge figure of Morgan in front of them, pirates threw down their weapons, before fleeing.

"These guys are supermen! We're going to get slaughtered!"

"Quick! We must warn the captain."

Nonetheless, the pirates quickly saw Drophy and Babe in front of them, while the man already had his huge baseball bat in his hands.

"Mr 4! Show them what happens when fools dare to attack us."

Immediately, the man assumed his position as a baseball batman and began aiming at the skulls of the pirates who were running towards the duo. Trying to brake, the men cried out in fear, before being violently hit by the metal bat.

Feeling their skulls pulverized, the pirates were thrown into the air and eventually landed at the feet of the last remaining pirates. Trembling with fear, they then saw Megumin stand on a table, before shining the end of her boat.

"HAHAHAHA! Now it's my turn to show you what I'm capable of."

However, barely had she had time to speak when the pirates cried out in fear and started to flee.

"Mom! Help!"

"Save us ! "

"HEY!" Megumin shouted, stamping her foot on the table. " I'm not finished. "

Suddenly, rising to his feet, Magi grabbed his hat and threw it in the air. Immediately, explosive bullets came out and headed towards the pirates who continued to flee. Then, pulling her hat up over her head, Magi sat down as the sound of explosions was heard.

Soon, being seated at their table again, the Buggy pirates left Gasparde's men on the ground.

"In the end, if you compare him to his crew, Gasparde must not be that powerful."

"It doesn't mean anything." Zala retorted. "Our captain, he's weak."

"Besides, where is he?" Megumin wanted to know.

Immediately everyone noticed that Buggy was nowhere.

Being hidden in a ship suspended from the ceiling, Buggy had seen his crew defeat that of Gasparde.

"HAHAHA! What did those lousy pirates think they could do against the Buggy crew?"

"So, are you the captain of this crew?"

Startling with fear, Baggy saw Shuraiya, sitting next to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to hide." The man asserted, while watching a group of pirates climbing up to attack them. "These guys are tough."

"Motherfucker! Don't get me involved in your problems."

Just continuing to smile, Shuraiya grabbed a large oar and as soon as the pirates climbed onto the boat, they were hit by the bounty hunter, which knocked him out of the boat.

Left alone, a pirate could only tremble with fear, seeing Shuraiya in front of him.

"I give you the choice: I hit you or you jump on your own."

"Don't… don't laugh at me," the pirate roared. "Don't you know who our captain is, Gasparde? He's a pirate with a bounty of 95 million berries."

Immediately snot trickled from Buggy's nose, who could only repeat.

"95 million? That's three times Mugiwara's bounty."

"So what?" Shuraiya wanted to know. "I remind you that my job is to capture pirates like him."

Growling, the pirate in front of him tried to attack him. Nonetheless, Shuraiya dodged his sword and the man cut the ropes that hung the boat. Because of this, the boat leaned over, causing the trio to lose their balance.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Buggy cried, feeling himself fall.

Immediately he split his body into several pieces and grabbed his feet to keep himself from falling any lower.

"Saved!" He remarked, letting himself gently drop to the ground.

Meanwhile, having been able to grab a rope to keep himself from falling, Shuraiya swung until he dropped near the clown.

"Hahaha! It was fun."

"Motherfucker!" Roared the clown. "You want to fight is that it? I advise you to be very careful! In my crew, there are three people who have a bounty over 30 million! Don't underestimate us."

Just then a voice roared.

"What's this noise?"

Beginning to shake in fear, Buggy turned to see a tall man sitting at a bar. Around him, dozens of pirates were on the ground, having had the bad idea of fighting against him, in order to monopolize the bar. Seeing the man aiming at them, Buggy took a step back, while Shuraiya continued to display a confident smile.

"Gasparde ..."

"WHAT? Is that him Gasparde? The one with a bonus of 95 million?"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Gasparde affirmed.

"I recognize you! You are Shuraiya Basçud, the pirate exterminator! And you, you are Buggy, the clown! One of the captains who made an alliance with other pirates of East Blue to have a sufficient crew powerful to navigate the oceans of the Grand Line! "

"What? Hey, I'm the only captain on my crew! Who do you take me for? Kuro, Alvida, Zala, Morgan… and even that little magician are all my subordinates."

"Truly ? "

Suddenly, looking at Buggy's face for a longer time, Gasparde had the impression of having already seen him somewhere, several years ago. Not remembering where, he ends up forgetting this detail. instead, he declared.

"I think you can put it useful! If you really want to control Grand Line, why not join me?"

"Huh?" Buggy wondered.

"I invite you to become my subordinates." Asserted the captain.

"Your subordinate? Me?" Shuraiya questioned, seeming to be amused by this. "I think you misunderstood! I'm not a pirate! I'm a pirate hunter!"

"So what? Me, I'm a former Navy captain! All that matters, to be part of my crew, is to be powerful! That's it! I like guys who aren't afraid of anything. . "

"Hey!" Buggy roared. "Do you really think I'm going to accept your offer with a smile?"

Starting to walk away, he declared.

"I am the captain of my crew and that is more than enough for me."

Seeing him turn his back on him, Gasparde snapped his fingers. Immediately, a gray-skinned man with metal claws on his hands, ran to Buggy and slit his back. Using his power in extremis, Buggy parted his body so as not to be cut.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

In response, Needless attacked him again. However, his claws struck a titanium plate he could barely scratch. Then stepping back, the man dodged explosive bullets.

Growling, Needless caught sight of Magi staring at him as Buggy came running up to him, sobbing with joy. "

"Magiiiiii ... you really are the only one I can count on."

Saying nothing, the magician stared at Gasparde before realizing who he was.

"Gasparde ..."

"Oh? So that's him, the famaux Gasparde?" Alvida wanted to know, arriving with the others. "The favorite of the race."

"If we kill him right now, I wonder if we'll get wiped out." Kuro wondered.

Staring at the newcomers, Gasparde smiled when he recognized one of them.

"Hi, Colonel Morgan! From what I see, I'm not the only one who left the Navy to become a pirate."

"Tsss! SHUT UP! I was kicked out of the Navy because of those cowards who saw themselves as soldiers! You left him of your own free will! We have nothing in common."

Continuing to laugh, Gasparde affirmed.

"It's good to be bold, but I advise you to face reality! Do you really think you have a chance against me, in tomorrow's race?"

Remaining silent, no one answered him. After all, even the former members of Baroque Works found themselves somewhat intimidated when they found themselves in front of someone who seemed to be more powerful than their former boss.

However, ending up advancing towards Gaspade, Megumin dared to tell him.

"Hey, you! Instead of talking, save your strength for tomorrow."

"Hmm?"

"Because as soon as the race starts, I'll blow up your boat, with my explosive magic."

"SHUT UP!" Buggy ordered her.

For his part, remaining silent, Gasparde only stared at Megumin. then finally he rose from his seat.

"39 million for a stupid kid like you? The Navy really isn't what it used to be."

Then, without adding anything more, he left.
