Pirate: Bucky

"I have used the Haki and sound waves to conduct detection, and there is no feedback from the giant within my maximum sensing range." Cyrus said unhurriedly.

"No, this is good news. Did you laugh at it?" Bucky continued to ask.

"I'll go find him right now!" After Cyrus said this, he flapped his wings and flew towards Yixiao quickly.

"Your Excellency Cyrus, are you the only one here this time?!" Yixiao asked Cyrus after sensing the aura of only Cyrus.

"Yes, just smile, the young master has something to tell you!" Cyrus said and put the phone bug forward.

"Your Excellency Bucky, I wonder what you have to say?" Yixiao's tone at the moment was not good.

Yixiao had no complaints about Bucky kidnapping the Celestial Dragons and bothering him to make a trip. However, Yixiao was very dissatisfied with Bucky leading the people to break through Judiciary Island.

Of course, this tone was not worthy of Bucky's mind.

"Yixiao, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip this time." Bucky's tone towards Yixiao has always been polite, mainly because this person's moral character is worthy of respect.

"Your Excellency Bucky, I am here at the request of the World Government." Yixiao spoke very directly.

"I believe that Your Excellency Yixiao will not be unclear about the South China Sea incident that he supports, but I will not mention it in detail because this matter has become a thing of the past. I am sorry to you because I made your trip in vain." Bucky also said That's clear.

"Your Excellency Bucky, what do you mean?" The smile suddenly became darker.

"There will definitely not be any changes to my deal with the World Government, but I need to change the method of ransom. I have a batch of urgently needed supplies that the World Government needs to prepare for me. I will send the list to the relevant departments later. Wait until I After receiving the supplies, Charros will be released.

Before that, he was petrified, and he would not suffer any pain, nor would he lose any vitality. For him, before being un-petrified, his physical state will only remain at the moment of being petrified. So you can tell Rozwald so that he doesn't have to worry about how his son will be treated badly. " Bucky explained in a very sincere tone.

After listening to Bucky's words, he smiled without saying anything and just sat on the huge money box and floated towards the direction he came from.

After all, it's not that Bucky won't fulfill his promise, but he won't finish it here today, so his only task now is to bring the money back and convey Bucky's words.

Seeing a smile and turning away, Cyrus explained to Bucky that he put away the phone bug, and then flew quickly away from the top of the Red Earth Continent.

By the time the group resolved this incident and returned to the Silbaz Kingdom, the time had already entered the beginning of 1519.

Now there is only a little more than a year left before the curtain rises.

After the New Year, after acquiring the ability of the Rust Fruit, Pevanji was sent to the South China Sea by Sandasonia and began his own adventurous life.

However, Pevanji did not immediately form a pirate group, but planned to first participate in the four-year-old King's Shichibukai Challenge Qualifying Tournament.

In fact, Bucky did not give Pevanji an order to seize the spot in the King's Shichibukai, but the young man always wanted to let the world know him.

So Pewanji registered in the Nanhai Division and successfully passed the first round of screening.

In fact, since the first King's Shichibukai Trials, the world has had an idea of ​​the strong.

Therefore, there were actually not many people participating in the next two Challenge Qualification Trials, and the number of participants from all major sea areas did not even exceed a fraction of the first one.

But there is a saying that the essence is what is concentrated.

It is precisely because there are so few people participating that the overall strength of the participants appears to be high.

For example, Jinbei appeared in the second session, and Edward Weibull participated in several consecutive sessions. They were all strong men at the first level of the Shichibukai.

The reason why the latter has not yet become the King of the Seven Warlords is because of bad luck.

But this time Miss Bajin was really prepared, because she had been notified by a member of a certain department in CP, the world government's intelligence agency.

As long as they can beat this year, both Crocodile and Donquixote Doflamingo can be replaced.

Combining the information obtained by Miss Ba Jin, it is natural to understand what is going on.

Therefore, after the strong men from all over the world and the Grand Line were gathered together and screened again, three challenge places were finally determined.

The first person on the list was not Edward Weibull but Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, who had killed Thatch, the captain of Whitebeard's fourth division, and escaped from the Whitebeard Pirates.

The second person in the queue is Edward Weibull, and the third person is not Pevanji, but the 'green bull' Aramu who only appeared after the war in the original work.

Yes, Pevanger did not qualify. It was during the final selection that he met his stupid son Edward Weeble.

Because he was warned in advance not to reveal too much strength, Pevanji pretended to be exhausted and quit the game at the end.

As for the order of challenge among the first three, it is decided by the World Government by drawing lots.

Well, actually this is a black-box operation.

Mainly because of Tikki's Devil Fruit ability, it reminded the Five Old Stars of someone, so Tikki, who actively moved closer to the World Government, received better treatment than Weibull.

"Hahaha, thief, I want to challenge you Crocodile!" When the host asked Teach who he would choose to challenge, Teach without hesitation chose the soft persimmon Crocodile that Miss Ba Jin had already chosen.

To be honest, since the King's Shichibukai Trials were held, Crocodile didn't behave as badly as in the original work after seeing the tyrannical strength of Bucky's team.

Instead, he kept training with a great sense of urgency, and then he awakened and initially mastered Haki before the first challenge.

This is also the reason why the Five Old Stars kept Crocodile in the first place. Otherwise, the Five Old Stars would not have done anything crazy in the first term, or perhaps Edward Weibull should have replaced Crocodile.

And now is the third challenge qualifying tournament, Crocodile's tenth year of mastery of dominance.

To say that Crocodile is weak is absolutely nonsense. After all, not only has he mastered Haki, he is also a user who has awakened the natural Devil Fruit ability.

That is to say, he has not been trained by Bucky, otherwise he would be stronger than Doflamingo in mastering Ba Matang and Liu Ying.

After all, in terms of Devil Fruit abilities, after awakening, his Shasha Fruit ability is much more powerful than the Thread Fruit ability.

The named Crocodile was quite angry at the moment, because this showed that in the eyes of Marshall D. Teach, he was the weakest among the Shichibukai.

In fact, this can't really be blamed on Tiqi. After all, his Devil Fruit ability is special, so when he measures the opponent's strength, he puts aside the Devil Fruit ability.

So the first thing Teach eliminated were Joracole Mihawk, Empress of Nine Snakes Lilith, and Kai Xia Jinbe, who took the position of Shichibukai without relying on Devil Fruit abilities.

The first two had achieved real results back then. As for the last one, Teach knew that once he chose Jinbei, the two of them would definitely fight to the death, so he wouldn't be so stupid.

Among the remaining four people, the one standing behind Doflamingo was Bucky. Teach did not want to face the world's number one pirate group just because of a quota.

Tiqi had considered the other two ability users, Bartholomew Xiong and Yixiao, but was secretly told by relevant personnel that he could not choose when he qualified for the challenge.

This left Tikki speechless, but Tikki couldn't pretend not to hear the World Government's explicit greeting.

Then after excluding six people, the only one left was the 'soft persimmon' Crocodile.

As for the Bucky Pirates who seem to be standing behind Crocodile, doesn't Teach care?

Tiqi was not stupid, so how could he not have thought of it, but he had already had thoughts about the King's Shichibukai, and naturally he had been paying attention to the news about the King's Shichibukai.

That's why he was able to better understand what the essence of the South China Sea incident was.

To put it simply, the direct appearance of the Buggy Pirates may appear to others as a sign that the Buggy Pirates want to show their authority.

But in Teach's view, this is Bucky's distrust of Crocodile.

In addition, the Bucky Pirates borrowed Crocodile's Baroque Co., Ltd. as a sales channel. According to the news from the dark world, Baroque Co., Ltd. and Crocodile have no apparent affiliation.

Therefore, this workplace can still operate normally even without Crocodile.

In addition, Baroque Co., Ltd. serves as a sales channel for artificial devil fruits. If anyone touches these people, the Bucky Pirates will be more anxious than Crocodile.

So even without Crocodile, as long as Baroque Works continues to sell artificial devil fruits, no one will dare to touch it.

In this way, it doesn't matter whether Crocodile exists or not. At worst, the Bucky Pirates can just send a cadre to take over Crocodile's position.

In other words, even if Crocodile loses his place in the Shichibukai, the Bucky Pirates may not stand up for him, and may even directly take away the Baroque Works Company he founded.

And this is enough. After all, the Shichibukai is an organization under the World Government. If Bucky dares to attack members of the Shichibukai, it means that he will officially go to war with the World Government.

Judging from the previous kidnapping of Tianlong and the capture of Judiciary Island, although the Baki Pirates acted arrogantly, they still maintained sufficient restraint and did not express their intention to go to war with the World Government.

Of course, if there was a better choice, Teach wouldn't want to find Crocodile, but there really was no softer persimmon to pinch.

"If you want to die, I will help you!" After being named, Crocodile immediately stood up from his position and then came to the venue.

"Hahahaha, thief, I don't know who is looking for death, the kid who had his hand chopped off by his father back then!" Before the fight started, Teach used trash talk to try to get Crocodile's mentality.

"You'll know in a moment." After arriving at the venue, Crocodile just said this and used his ability.

As a natural type person with awakened abilities, when facing a truly strong person, he will not attack blindly, but will give priority to territorialization and create the most suitable battlefield for him.

So after Crocodile finished speaking, everyone saw that the ground on the top of the Red Earth Continent began to rapidly turn into sand starting from Crocodile's feet.

"Hahahaha, thief, it seems that you know how to use natural abilities to fight, but these are useless! Dark water!" Tiqi then yelled.

Ah!

As Tikki used the Dark Fruit ability, Crocodile instantly felt a huge suction force, pulling his body and flying towards Tikki involuntarily.

What the hell is this? !

Desert Sword!

Instinctively feeling that flying like this would definitely miss Crocodile, he immediately used his ability to attack Teach first.

"Hahahaha, useless!" The left hand did not stop the Dark Fruit ability. Teach directly blocked Crocodile's attack with his right hand wrapped with a rich armed color and domineering force.

And after Teach's immediate attack, Crocodile also flew in front of Teach.

"I've got you!" His left hand firmly grasped Crocodile, and Teach's right hand was immediately raised high.

Scorpion poison needle!

Feeling that his Devil Fruit ability suddenly failed, Crocodile was shocked and at the same time, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The hook of the left hand directly ignored Teach's right fist, and after the left half of the body was equipped with armament-colored Haki, it hit Teach's neck.

No one expected that the first move between the two of them would be to trade injury for injury.

However, both of them had their own considerations. Teach felt that Crocodile's armed domineering power could not withstand Liu Ying's attack, so he planned to hit him hard with one blow.

As for Crocodile, he considered that his scorpion tail needle was poisonous, and as long as the defense was broken, Teach could lose the ability to resist.

Therefore, the two men's targeted blows fell on each other in the next second.

"This idiot!" Bucky cursed angrily when he saw this scene in front of a live broadcast screen in the Silbaz Kingdom.

"What a fool who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. After all, he is from the Whitebeard Pirates. Do you really think that the people in that pirate group are so easy to mess with?" Foz Fu shook his head and said.

"Didn't this idiot Crocodile pay attention to the previous host's introduction? The Marshall D. Teach he was fighting against was the strong man who killed the captain of the fourth division, Sachi!" Sarutobi Ninja was also very worried. He said in confusion.

It is precisely because the latter two people have come into contact with Crocodile that they know the extent of Crocodile's domineering level.

As for Marshall D. Teach, Pevangi called after he was eliminated and recounted Teach's information.

Among them, the narrative about Haki is that the Overlord's Haki has been awakened, but it has not yet reached the level that can be entangled. The armed color skills are deep and Liu Ying has mastered them. It seems that the future can be foreseen in terms of seeing and hearing colors.

What really shocked Pevanji was the opponent's Devil Fruit ability. According to Pevanji, one of the ability users who fought against Teach had his abilities strangely disabled after he was caught by him, so the family specifically asked the family to pay attention to this person. Devil fruit abilities.

Bucky is relatively familiar with the natural dark fruit ability.

In fact, it was not Marshall D. Teach who truly promoted the Fruit of Darkness, but the previous user, Rocks D. Jiback.

Of course, in the Battle of God's Island, why Roger and Garp teamed up to attack Rocks, wasn't it because people with devil fruit abilities couldn't be bothered in front of him?

As for the members of the Rocks Pirates, why did each one of them have outstanding Devil Fruit abilities? Wasn't it because they relied on the ability of the Dark Fruit?

But Bucky didn’t want this fruit.

Mainly because this devil fruit ability is so eye-catching.

In Bucky's opinion, the Dark Fruit ability is not outstanding except for depriving the user of the Devil Fruit ability.

As for Dark Water, it has been proven by Whitebeard in the original work that this trick has too many flaws when faced with people who use cold weapons, especially long weapons.

Bucky can directly obtain the Devil Fruit, so for him, getting the Dark Fruit will be a trouble.

Pulling the camera back, Crocodile realized that he was completely wrong after he faced off against Teach.

Because his Scorpion Tail Needle was not able to break through Teach's armed defense, and even his Haki of Wisdom and Information told him that the Scorpion Tail Needle was blocked by a layer of Haki on the surface of Teach's neck.

Although it was smashed down, the scorpion tail needle failed to break the defense. Instead, he received a heavy punch himself.

Crocodile could feel how heavy this punch was. Teach's domineering force directly penetrated the defense of his body and severely damaged the organs in his body.

puff!

A mouthful of blood mixed with small fragments of certain organs spurted out directly from Crocodile's mouth.

How can it be!

Just before he had time to think of this, Crocodile saw the cruel smile on Teach's face.

Armed colors condense!

Holding back the severe pain, Crocodile once again gathered the dispersed armed domineering energy, and then struck back in time to block another punch from Teach.

Click!

This subtle sound could only be heard between the two of them. As for the outside world, there was only a muffled thud.

boom!boom!

Then there were two more muffled sounds, and this time the sound was no longer coming from Crocodile, but from Teach.

Because Crocodile kicked Teach with both feet while his left arm was broken.

Then, with the help of the rebound force, Teach successfully let go of his left hand holding his right arm.

After breaking free from Teach's hand, Crocodile immediately felt that his ability had returned.

At this moment, he was very sure that once the devil fruit ability of the damn bastard opposite him caught him, he would be unable to use his ability.

However, in close combat, his own armament is not as domineering as his. If he cannot break through the opponent's defense, he will definitely suffer the loss.

The key is that he misjudged the strength of both sides due to insufficient intelligence, and was severely injured by his two punches, which was fatal.

If you continue to fight, you won't see any winning rate, and if you stay, you will be dead. In this case, it's a waste of time.

"You win this time!" Crocodile said decisively before Teach used his ability again, and then he turned into sand and floated away.

Unlike the last time when he fought Jinbei for several days and was exhausted and had no choice but to admit defeat, Crocodile simply gave in this time.

One is because Marshall D. Teach restrained him too much, and the other is that before this challenge, Sarutobi Shinobu had already greeted him, and most likely someone would challenge him to take his place.

This is also the reason why Crocodile is so decisive. After all, he knows that the World Government will not tolerate him, and to stay and stalk him for a spot in the Shichibukai, which he has never valued, is a way to die. .

"Hahahaha, thief, very decisive, what a pity!" Teach also had to admire Crocodile's decisiveness, and then he touched the place where Crocodile hit his neck and said with a smile.

To be honest, Teach was not at ease this time, after all, he suffered twice as much pain as others.

Although Crocodile did not break the defense this time, it did not mean that it did not cause Teach pain.

"Fufufufufufufu, what a surprise, Marshall D. Teach." Doflamingo sneered from his seat.

After all, Crocodile's defeat so quickly was beyond Doflamingo's expectations.

"Let us invite Marshall D. Teach to ascend the throne of the Shichibukai and become the new King of the Shichibukai." The host was stunned for a moment and quickly spoke to smooth things over.

"Sarah, the second challenger, Edward Weibull, will name the person to challenge." The host immediately said to the big kid with a runny nose.

"I have so many choices..." Before Weibull could finish speaking, he was stopped by Miss Bajin.

"Weibull, challenge Jinbei!" Miss Ba Jin screamed strangely from the side.

"Okay mom, I want to challenge that damn fat blue fish-man!" Not to mention, Weibull learned the taunting skill without any teacher.

In front of the screen, facing Miss Bajin's sudden change of words, Perona couldn't help but ask: "Why did this old woman suddenly change her mind? Didn't that stupid big man want to challenge Doflamingo?"

"Nana, everyone knows that Doflamingo is standing behind us. Miss Bajin is definitely not a fool, and naturally she will not be willing to offend us." Kalifa explained.

"Aren't we also standing behind Crocodile? Isn't Marshall D. Teach afraid of offending us?" Perona continued to ask.

"It was precisely because of fear that he didn't keep Crocodile. Didn't you hear him say it was a pity? People from the World Government probably gave him the order to keep Crocodile alive, but in the end he was because of Crocodile. Because of his decisiveness and fear of us, he did not continue to take action, but let Crocodile go." Arrita then spoke.

"But why did that old woman change her story at the end?" Karina had too little experience, so she didn't quite understand the meaning of Miss Ba Jin's operation.
