“Buggy?”
The young Shanks, who had been standing behind Garp before, could see Buggy’s face clearly.
‘Isn’t that my fellow crew when I was on Roger’s boat? But, it seems that his figure is a bit wrong? Why’s this guy so much taller than me?’
“Is it really you, Shanks?” Buggy looked incredulous. How could this Shanks look wrong, “Why are ya so small? Aren’t cha in the New World?”
“‘Shanks’? Captain, do you mean he is the Great Pirate Shanks in the New World?” Mohji and Cabaji became even more uncomfortable.
‘How come there are so many strong men on an uninhabited island. We were just taking a chance on the road, so why did we meet this kind of person?’
The young Shanks frowned when he heard what he called him, “The Great Pirate Shanks?”
This Shanks was copied from his body and memory when he was 11 years old, so right now, his memory was still on Roger’s pirate ship. At that time, he was just an intern. Only his captain and deputy captain had it.
The title of a Great Pirate, “You; with the name Buggy, can you get us on the boat?”
“Get on the boat?”
When Buggy heard Wexford’s proposal, his mind suddenly froze.
‘You want to be in my boat? Shanks might be a fake. But Garp wants to take us to the Marine, right? Should I resist?’
Garp, with his hands still in his pockets, saw that Buggy hadn’t responded, so he walked directly to Buggy, staring at the little pirate from the East Blue, and said, “What’s wrong? Not willing?”
“I…”
Buggy, who was interrupted by Garp, gaping; he but didn’t know what to say.
Just when Buggy’s brain stopped functioning, Garp lifted his left foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
BOOM!
When Garp’s left foot stomped the ground, the entire beach was like being hit by a meteorite. An enormous crater appeared in an instant, and the surrounding seawater and gravel quickly splashed around.
Buggy was very aware of Garp’s power. When Garp lifted his left foot, he saw it coming, so he turned his body and rushed directly in the opposite direction.
“Ah, this…”
Buggy was taken aback by this scene.
The big pit made by Garp was right in front of him. If Garp were a little late, he would have been over.
“Of course, Vice Admiral Garp can certainly get on the boat.”
After seeing Garp’s deterrence, Buggy didn’t hesitate anymore. He respectfully stepped aside, giving way to Garp.
But Garp didn’t immediately walk in the direction of the boat. Instead, he said to Buggy, “What vice admiral? I’m not the World Noble’s lapdog.”
“Huh?”
When Buggy heard this, he was confused again.
‘Who are you if you’re not a vice-admiral? If you’re not lying, did you get expelled by those Marine guys?’
“Ah, whatever. Let your people get out of the way and let Captain Wexford pass.” Garp was obviously very dissatisfied with Buggy, a pirate with an abnormal head. He stretched out his hand to push him aside.
Buggy was confused again by what the Garp just said. His eyes turned to the only one of the three people he didn’t know, the guy whom Garp admit as the captain, “Captain Wexford?”
“Buggy- you should be Buggy, right? This is our Captain Wexford.” Shanks also walked up to Buggy at this time and introduced his captain to his former fellow crew.
Because of receiving too much information in a short time, Buggy had automatically shut off his brain and not say anything.
‘After these people get on the boat, let’s look at the situation again.’
Because of Garp’s performance just now, the pirates under Buggy didn’t dare to act rashly. They boarded the boat with the three guests.
…..
“The boat is too small. The speed is too slow.”
Garp, who was used to his big ship, was not satisfied with the condition of Buggy’s pirate ship. As soon as the boat moved, he started to complain while sitting on the deck.
Fortunately, Buggy was not in front of Garp at this time. Buggy could not care about Garp’s mockery at the moment anyway.
…..
In the pirate ship’s captain’s room at this time, Buggy was accompanying Wexford and Shanks.
“Buggy, I didn’t expect you to come to the East Blue. Didn’t you want to hunt for treasure?” Shanks was currently fiddling with Buggy’s things in the captain’s room as he asked Buggy.
Buggy glanced at Shanks, who was fiddling his things. Although he was still unsure if this Shanks was the Shanks he knew, his mind started to complain.
‘If it weren’t for ya, I wouldn’t have lost my treasure map! It wouldn’t be what it is now!’
Shanks saw Buggy not answering him, so he turned to Buggy and asked, “Buggy?”
Buggy looked at the young Shanks with a look of resentment and said, “Of course I’m going to! I’m planning it!”
“Alright, Shanks, be quiet first.” Wexford stopped Shanks, who was still fiddling because he wanted to ask Buggy something. He said to Buggy, “Buggy, what time is it now?”
“What?” Buggy was taken aback by Wexford’s question, “It’s afternoon.”
“I’m not asking that. How long has Roger died?” After realizing that his question was a little too ambiguous, Wexford asked again.
After hearing Roger’s name, Buggy and Shanks were both taken aback. But after a brief pause, Buggy said, “Captain Roger has passed away for 17 years.”
Remembering their former captain, even Buggy was a little bit embarrassed. Buggy and Shanks were taken good care of during Roger’s time.
“What?! It’s been seventeen years?!”
Shanks still didn’t know the specific situation of this world. Although Wexford had explained it a bit before, it was all about the Marine. It was the first time he heard about Roger’s situation.
‘I knew that this guy’s impostor! So he dares pretending to be Shanks.’
Buggy looked at Shanks with a slight smile on his face because he felt like he had seen through Shanks.
BAM!
Shanks hit Buggy’s chest.
After he punched Buggy, he said, “Captain Roger is dead; aren’t you embarrassed that you’re laughing?!”
Buggy, who Shanks punched, only felt a throbbing in his chest.
‘Damn it! The captain has been dead for seventeen years; how could I cry now?!’
“Shanks…”
Wexford stopped Shanks, who was still angry, “Go take a breather outside for a moment. Garp wants to go to the Windmill Village, so let’s go to that first. Buggy, tell your people to go to the Windmill Village.”
