When Galdino, who had been caught by Katakuri, arrived in front of Wexford, he looked up and happened to see Wexfordâs few people on the pier.
âSure enough. Itâs that Wexford. The opponent is so strong, what should I do?â
Baroque Work, which had always been active near Arabasta, had not thought much about meeting such a powerful opponent as Wexford. It was reasonable to say that this ship of 500 million and one billion belly bounty pirates should have all gone to the New World.
But now, because of the appearance of Wexford, the pattern of the first half of the Grand Line had been completely turned upside down.
Even if the Baroque Work president came over, there was no chance of winning against Wexfordâs group.
While Galdino was thinking about how to respond, Wexford, who had already seen Galdinoâs identity, took the lead and asked the captive, âYou two are not bounty hunters, right?â
When Galdino was asked by Wexford, he looked up and said with a smile on his face, âWe are not bounty hunters, we are just passing through hereâŠ.â
After Galdino was thrown to his feet by Katakuri, Wexford looked at the Baroque Workâs Mr. 3 and said, âPassing through? Looking at you guys, you should be pirates, right?â
âYes, we are the pirates passing by.â Galdino nodded in response to Wexfordâs words.
âI think you shouldnât be any ordinary pirates, right? If Iâm not wrong, youâre one of the Baroque Work member located in Arabasta?â
Wexford, who knew Galdinoâs identity long ago, lowered his head and teasingly looked at Galdino, who was lying on the ground.
After hearing the words Baroque Work, Galdino was obviously surprised. He was surprised at how the man who had just entered the Grand Line knew about the Baroque Work; Galdino hurriedly said, âI⊠If you want to go to Arabasta, I can lead the way for you.â
The enemy was too strong, and for Galdino, it was better to save his life first in this situation.
Wexford did not expect Galdino to say that, but the other party had said so, so of course, Wexford wouldnât refuse. After all, they didnât have a pointer to the first half of the Grand Line, so it was a very good thing to have an acquaintance to lead the way.
With such a thought, Wexford said, âWell, thatâs just right, we will soon be heading to Arabasta. If you have a Log Pose to Sabaody Archipelago, that would be even better.â
âNo problem, I can lead the way for all of you. But I donât have a Log Pose to the Sabaody ArchipelagoâŠ.â
When Galdino spoke of the Log Pose, he paused and looked at the expressions of Katakuri and Wexford before continuing, âI donât have the Log Pose in my hand, but Arabasta must have it! When we get to Arabasta we will definitely be able to find it.â
Seeing that Galdino was so flustered, Wexford squatted down and said to this member of the Baroque Work, âOkay, then I will leave you, but if you donât find the Log Pose by the time we get to Arabasta, then you will have to live in the seaâŠ.â
Galdino was obviously startled after hearing this. He was a Doru Doru no Mi Devil Fruit user, and as a Devil Fruit user, Galdino was disliked by the sea. If by then Wexford really threw him into the sea, then there was and only one ending waiting for Galdino.
Once he thought of that miserable ending, Galdino hurriedly said, âYes, Arabasta definitely has it.â
Seeing that he had succeeded in frightening Galdino, Wexford stood up and said to the teenage Shanks behind him, âShanks, have these two guys taken to the ship.â
âYes, Captain Wexford.â
Shanks, who received the order from Wexford, looked very positive. Before the words even fell, Shanks had already run towards the jumping-off point of the pirate ship at the back.
âŠâŠ.
After solving the problem of Galdino and Golden Week, Wexford returned to the pirate ship with Garp and Doflamingo. Buggyâs crew would collect supplies and the treasure within the island town. Of course, Buggy was the one to blame. He ran to the townâs location the first time after boarding the island.
Although the Whiskey Peak was the gathering place for a group of bounty hunters, it was only the forefront of the Grand Line. Although the bounty they acquired would be extracted by the Baroque Work, the bounty accumulated by these bounty hunters over the years was not a few, at least for Buggy, which was already in a very large amount of possession.
âDamn, if only I had come by myself.â
At the corner of a tavern within the town of Whiskey Peak, Buggy looked at a large bag of collected belly, and his face was full of revealing his dissatisfaction.
Although they gathered up so much of the bounty, they had to take it back to Wexfordâs group. Thinking of this, Buggy gritted his teeth.
âAnyway, they didnât follow me. Iâll carry this money and hide in the mountainâŠ..â
âBuggy!â
When Buggy was reaching out and ready to carry belly and run away, the voice of his old acquaintance Shanks rang out outside the tavern.
As the most active one under Wexfordâs group, Shanks executed every order issued by Wexford very quickly. So, after bringing Galdino and Golden Week to the pirate ship, Shanks was called by Wexford to come to this town to find his old partner, Buggy.
âDamn! Itâs him again!â
Buggy knew things were a bit difficult as soon as he heard Shanksâ voice outside the door. Although Shanksâ strength was the weakest among Wexfordâs crew, once he fought, there was definitely no way for him to go and hide.
âWhat to do, what to do!â
" "
Buggyâs hands were clutching the bag full of belly with a face of anxiety.
Just when Buggy racked his brain to come up with a way to leave, the tavern door fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into a dozen pieces. Followed by the voice of Shanks, âWhoâs in here?â
After the tavern door was shattered, Shanks, holding a short knife, slowly walked into the store. Although most of the townâs bounty hunters were cleaned up by Doflamingo and Katakuri, Shanks did not rule out the possibility of an escape.
However, when he walked into the tavern, he saw Buggy was squatting in the corner and was looking at him with a smile, âJust in time, this thing is too heavy, you go find someone to carry it back with me.â
âIs it heavy?â
Shanks took a look at the bag that was stuffed slowly in front of Buggy and took a few steps forward to prepare to lift the bag.
When Buggy saw his little trick did not succeed, he could only hurry to carry the bag on the ground, âNo, itâs not very heavyâŠ. Iâll take it myself.â
While carrying belly to the shipâs direction, Buggy glanced at Shanks beside him.
âDamn! Not only he looks like Shanks, why does he act like that too! He canât honestly go to get someone to come!
