Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 790 Bucky's Dream Comes True
Luffy and his crew stayed on Sky Island for a few days, trying to resolve some of the country's problems before preparing to set off again to carry out naval missions.

Nami recalculated the distance. For the spaceship, the recruiting distance for the Seven Warlords was the same no matter who arrived first or later, but she instinctively put the Empress at the end.

"Let me go, you damned brat!"

"Let me go, I am the king, you damned navy, I am the king of the allied countries!"

Noisy sounds continued to be heard, and dragonflies were carrying prisoners from Olympus and moving them to the prison in the ideal country.

The two Valpo brothers and Buggy kept arguing but Dragonfly didn't listen at all. Compared to them, Enel was much quieter.

The prisoners' hands were handcuffed with seastone, and a thin root canal was connected to their hands, constantly injecting nutrients to ensure their survival.

"Damn it, hey! Hi! Is Ganfort there? Ganfort! I'm Buggy, a crew member of Roger's pirate group. Please save me!"

As he prepared to set sail again, Luffy simply built a prison in the Utopia and left Buggy and his gang there.

After all, most of the mechanical angels are on the Sky Island, which is more than ten thousand meters high and is very suitable for imprisoning these people.

Ganfor heard Bucky's shout and looked over there curiously. When he saw it was Bucky, he greeted him warmly.

"Hi, Mr. Bucky, long time no see. Why are you getting shorter and shorter?"

"Hurry up and find a way to open this broken lock!" Bucky said angrily.

"Well... I'm sorry, I can't do it. I'm just a retired old man now, and the one who arrested you is the king of this country." Gan For said.

"What 'king'? That's all bullshit. Damn it! How can a marine be king? Aren't they afraid that the World Government will find out?!"

After saying this, Buggy became angry again. The World Government's rule has not yet extended to Sky Island. It will take at least a few hundred years to do so.

"And Mr. Buggy, I heard about where Roger's crew members went after his death... How could you attack ordinary people? If that hero finds out, he will definitely not let you go. Have you forgotten?" Ganfor asked curiously.

Buggy was silent for a moment. "I just did what a pirate should do. I'm different from those weirdos! Pirates are all about seizing wealth...wealth..."

After Dragonfly carried them past the golden city of Shandora, Buggy was silent for a moment before becoming furious again.

"Damn it! That Captain, he had such a huge fortune right in front of him but refused to take a penny. Shanks, too, was clearly the child of destiny and could easily become the 'king' of the new era, but he chose to refuse!!!"

Bucky was furious, tears streaming down his face.

"These damn guys, one by one, take what others dream of for granted!"

As for the entire Roger pirate group, Buggy knew very well that he was the only outlier on that ship.

I can't understand it, I absolutely can't understand it. I, the captain and Shanks are not the same kind of people at all. It is precisely because of this that my talents are completely incomparable to Shanks, and I will not be entrusted with important tasks by Captain Roger.

So, I also gave up on myself and let go of the creed on that ship...

Buggy laughed at himself, wondering what kind of mentality he had when he preached to Oden: "Don't hurt innocent people, or the captain will kill you."

"What? Shanks is the Child of Destiny?"

Luffy and Uta, who were making preparations for departure, suddenly appeared beside Buggy and asked curiously after hearing what Buggy said.

Shocked, the pirates have their own child of destiny, but the child of destiny is not me?

"Hey, you guy, when did you get here!" Bucky was startled by their sudden appearance.

Luffy sat on the cloud ball and curiously asked Buggy about Shanks' gossip.

"Tell me the big secret you know~"

"You bastards, you dumped my body in the East China Sea and imprisoned me in a private prison. You're breaking the law, don't you know? At the very least, you should have imprisoned me in the Deep Sea Prison!"

When Buggy saw Uta and Luffy, he immediately started cursing at them.

Humans are social animals, and no one can stand living alone. Originally, Buggy could still talk to Bell-mère, but after Bell-mère took him to find Luffy, Buggy was locked up in prison all day. The people who delivered his meals were robots, and he was even fed with nutrient solution.

He was almost going crazy, but luckily a fellow inmate, Enel, showed up soon to cheer him up.

"You deserve it!" Uta said righteously.

"I don't know why Roger would allow a guy like you to stay on the ship."

"Yeah, compared to those weird guys, I'm really a normal person." Bucky said angrily.

"I don't want the truth or freedom, I just want treasure!"

"Those guys on the ship all got what they wanted and were satisfied, but my treasure is still missing. It's all Shanks' fault!"

Uta was really annoyed with him, "Since you want the treasure so much, I'll just lock you up in Shandora. Look, this place is full of the treasures you want! I'll return the treasure to you on behalf of Shanks!"

"Normal people?" Luffy noticed Buggy's choice of words.

In that elite group, Bucky seems like a normal person, just like the protagonist of The Wizard of Oz, the ordinary person Dorothy, who started her legendary journey because of an accident.

Ever since Robin mentioned the Emerald City on Sky Island, Luffy wrote down the general characters of The Wizard of Oz.

From that moment on, a bold idea came to my mind: this world is a large-scale Wizard of Oz world.

Roger's pirate group is a Wizard of Oz team, and the ordinary Buggy in front of him will be the protagonist Dorothy.

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy wanted to go home to seek help from others, and finally found that the silver shoes on her feet could take her home, as long as she walked firmly on the ground... Thinking of this, Luffy looked at Buggy's feet.

The Split Fruit can split the body at will and make it fly, but the feet are always on the ground. This is his weakness and flaw...

As long as Bucky keeps walking steadily, he will be able to obtain the treasure he wants. Just like Dorothy will return home, Bucky's luck will allow him to find the treasure by accident...

Luffy was silent for a moment as he looked at Shandora, who was filled with gold.

When he imprisoned Buggy in the East China Sea, he had wondered if Buggy would escape, but the communication with Bell-mère showed that Buggy was unable to escape the power of seastone at all. His domineering luck... turned out to be waiting for me here?

I will let Bucky fulfill his dream - a mountain of wealth. Is this Bucky's good luck?!
Uta angrily ordered Dragonfly to choose a golden cell for Buggy. Seeing this, Buggy suddenly panicked.

"Wait, treasure that can't be converted into cash is meaningless. Hey, damn it, don't you want to know the secret? Of course I know a lot. Even if I can't set foot on Raftel, I really know some things..."

Uta didn't want to listen to Bucky anymore. Every time he talked to this guy, he would step on Uta's minefield accurately.

"Okay, I tell you, Shanks is a Celestial Dragon. If I'm not mistaken, he must have obtained that sword in the Holy Land!" Buggy said in panic.

“…” Uta paused and remained silent for a moment.

"Oh, I see. I understand now." The Walbourne brothers exchanged glances: Had we overheard some incredible, momentous secret?

The legendary pirate Shanks turned out to be the legendary Celestial Dragon!

Instead of being a Celestial Dragon, he became a pirate. What kind of freak is this?

"Uta~Luffy~Ready!" The navigator counted the supplies and shouted to them from a distance.

"Ready to go!"

"Here I come!" Uta jumped lightly and landed on the hanging mountain.

Under Nami's command, the spaceship headed towards the location of Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"The bounty is 3 million berries, and he's 2000cm tall. He received this amount right after his debut. His most notable achievement was challenging the Four Emperors, Kaido, in Wano Country. He was crushed and his entire group disappeared, with only Moria escaping the New World. Since then, he's been entrenched in the Devil's Sea..."

Nami retrieved the information about the Seven Warlords of the Sea and looked at Moriah's information.

Gekko Moriah had been very low-key before. It was said that he had only been at sea for less than a year. It was only after he challenged the Four Emperors Kaido and failed that the Navy and the World Government discovered the existence of such a pirate group. Although they did not know what he had done, they still offered a bounty on him as usual.

Anyway, those who go out to sea irregularly are all pirates.

This is how he got his 300 million berries. To the Navy and the World Government, his abilities and methods are unknown. Although he cannot defeat Kaido, he was able to escape alive, so this number should be enough.

Tashigi was a little unwilling, "Miss Bellemere is staying on Sky Island like this!"

"There's no other way. There are so many things to do in the Utopia. Bell-mère is the best candidate." Nami said as a matter of course.

"I'm telling you guys, don't think you can do whatever you want on the ship just because Bell-mère is gone. I won't allow you to violate discipline!"

Dashigi said alertly.

With Bellemere on board, the ship's discipline was so much better that she even relaxed.

Now that Bellmère is gone, who knows what these guys will do.

Weiwei, who was sorting documents on the side, was thinking about their big plan, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't dare to speak at all.

"What do you mean by messing around? Isn't it normal for couples to do something?" Nami said righteously.

"In order to prevent Luffy from being petrified, we have unanimously decided to start special resistance training for Luffy!!!"

Nami announced loudly after setting the program to go to the Devil's Sea.

"???" Dashigi looked confused.

"In order to prevent Luffy from being petrified, Uta, Nojiko, and I have decided to strengthen Luffy in this area! Originally, it was just us, but... because someone cheated, the number of people has expanded to eight!"

Nami said as she glared at Luffy.

"Resistance training?"

Luffy was very interested. "What exactly is it supposed to be? Honestly, I don't think there's any need for resistance training. When we get to Nine Snake Island, I can just close my eyes. I even practiced my Observation Haki every day on Sky Island for this purpose."

Wuta hummed a few times, "Just wait and you'll find out."

Luffy saw that they were acting mysteriously and didn't know what they were doing, so he became excited.

If it's the King's Game... well, that would be too hard to stick with.

Before starting special training, it is necessary to get the important things done. Nami called Hareda and asked him again about the special climate of the Devil's Sea and related precautions.

Uta called Karp out of concern.

"Ohhh, Uta~ Call Grandpa. Can I help you with anything?"

Uta's cute Den Den Mushi quickly became square and looked like Garp.

"Stinky grandpa, we're going to Nine Snake Island soon. That woman's devil fruit power..."

There are many different opinions within the Navy regarding the power of the Nine Snake Empress's devil fruit.

Some say that seeing the Empress will turn you into stone, some say that having evil thoughts will turn you into stone, and some say that being attacked will turn you into stone.

These statements are all correct. The specific extent to which one will be petrified depends purely on the power gap between the two sides.

The only consensus is that if the empress does not personally remove the petrification of the person, the person will be dead and there is no hope of saving him.

This is also why Uta is worried.

And once it turns into stone, the body can be easily destroyed and no longer has the same defensive power as before.

"Hancock's devil fruit ability? That's really tricky. It's specifically designed to restrain the power of young men."

Garp held the Den Den Mushi in one hand, weighed the shell in the other, and threw it out casually.

Standing opposite Garp was a Vice Admiral Prodi. Prodi was carrying a rocket launcher, wrapped his domineering aura around the shells, aimed at the shells thrown by Garp and fired. The two shells collided in the air, exploding with waves of air.

Prodi was blown back a few steps by the air wave. Garp scratched his head and thought about the ability of the devil fruit.

"That's a truly terrible ability, but Luffy can avoid it by not letting his mind wander. The key is not to let your mind wander, but Hancock's figure makes it hard not to let your mind wander, right? When I was young, I was also..."

"Got it, stinky grandpa!"

The phone clicked and hung up.

"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Garp looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Luffy wouldn't have such wild thoughts, would he?"

"It would be terrible if I were petrified. Once I turned into stone, I would naturally be unable to activate my Haki to save myself."

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Uta took out an inflatable hammer from his arms and blew air into it to make it expand.

While the girls were on the phone, Luffy went to find Robin to see how her decryption work was going.

He is looking forward to the secret truth under the water of Skull Island.
