One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 208 Bucky is arrested, the main character makes his appearance [First Update]

Xia Nuo was naturally unaware of the commotion at the dock.

At this moment, he is sitting in the pig cart, enjoying the pastoral scenery outside the window.

My impression from my previous life was correct.

Putting aside the price of sacrificing one's soul and lifespan, it must be admitted that the Kingdom of All Nations truly resembles a kingdom straight out of a fairy tale.

The land is beautiful, prosperous, and stable. There is no need to worry about food shortages or pirate raids. All races live together equally on this land.

Of course.

Not only was there plenty of food, but also wool provided by the Charlotte family.

By now, his technique had reached an unparalleled level. Often, he didn't even need to use his hands; he would simply release wisps of flowing, domineering energy, like ghostly hands, to snatch things from his target.

People walk on the red carpet without a single leaf touching them.

Unless there is a strong opponent of the same level present and they remain vigilant, it is difficult to be detected.

[You sacrificed Du Feld's collar flower, gaining 300 points]

[You sacrificed Xiao's dice cup and gained 2800 points.]

[You sacrificed Charlotte Cracker's sword "Pretzels" and gained 1500 points.]

You sacrificed Charlotte Castadian's...

He had actually already taken advantage of some of Charlotte's children whose names he couldn't remember when they first entered the New World.

However, it's unclear which ones were targeted and which ones weren't.

I just went for it all, leaving nothing out. All the bits and pieces added up to a full 2000 points.

Including Yixiao's and Kelijia's, I have now earned a total of 6600 points, with 64200 points remaining.

Once the tea party starts, we'll take advantage of Charlotte Linlin and the other underworld emperors, and we'll easily break 70,000.

"I can go on a shopping spree again next time!" Xia Nuo thought happily, and casually closed the system panel.

And this time.

After speeding along, the pig-drawn cart finally arrived at the Cake Castle without anyone noticing.

……

Cake Castle, as its name suggests.

Towering into the clouds, it is made entirely of pink cream and chocolate, just like a giant multi-tiered birthday cake.

Is it a real cake? Is it edible?
Bonnie's eyes grew increasingly drooling as she looked at the castle, wishing she could devour it whole.

Fortunately, the banquet was already prepared. Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte family, was already waiting at the entrance. He bowed slightly and led everyone to their seats with neither arrogance nor servility.

……

There are many empty guest rooms on the castle.

However, not all the guests who came to the tea party were qualified to stay in the castle.

Those who are arranged to come here are basically the highest-ranking VIPs.

That naturally includes those few emperors of the underworld.

Most of them had already received news of Xia Nuo's arrival and were waiting behind the windows, subtly observing the crowd getting off the pig cart through the glass.

……

The fifth floor, east side.

"It's good to see you again, Xia Nuo..."

Dufeld, the king of loan sharks, lit a cigar, his gaze deep and thoughtful. Suddenly, as if noticing something, his brow furrowed.

“Hey, Adele.”

"Yes, boss," the white-haired beauty replied.

"It seems like the same group of people are still here. I haven't seen that blind swordsman either. Could it be that he refused the offer?"

"I didn't see it either, boss."

The white-haired beauty covered her mouth and chuckled, "But what you said is not right. In my opinion, it is probably that Lord Xia Nuo tested the blind man's strength, was greatly disappointed, and gave up on recruiting him."

That day at the casino, she almost met with disaster because she didn't recognize Xia Nuo. Still shaken, she went to catch up on the related news about the Fallen Ones.

As a result, I got completely hooked, and the more I watched, the more amazed and awe-inspiring I became. I'm almost becoming a loyal fan of Xia Nuo and the Curtain Faller.

Of course, the boss still has to come first.

"Yes, your explanation is more reliable."

Du Feld nodded thoughtfully.

According to the results of the investigation that day, the blind swordsman seemed to be a sucker who liked to throw money around and liked to help poor people. He seemed to have a pretty good reputation among the people.

However, in terms of strength, they have no noteworthy achievements whatsoever.

What great use can such a person be?
He wasn't particularly interested in recruiting anyone, and casually offered a monthly salary of 20 million, taking it or leaving it.

It would be strange if someone as monstrous as Shano looked down on them.

……

Ninth floor, west-facing window.

"The Fallen Ones have arrived."

Queen Stuart of Pleasure Street withdrew her gaze from downstairs and whispered to the anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi in her hand:

“However, Guernica, from what I’ve observed, that Shano doesn’t seem to have agreed to the marriage. Are you sure you really want me to do that?”

"This is a strategic necessity."

The CP0 on the other end of the Den Den Mushi said in a deep voice, "The tea party hasn't officially started yet. The Charlotte family has only just launched the first round of sweet talk. Just because he hasn't agreed yet doesn't mean he won't be tempted later."

"The Holy Land's intention is to use the Fallen Ones to break through this increasingly solid new world order. To this end, the God of Scientific Defense, Satan Saint, even stepped in to mediate the conflict between the Fallen Ones and the Navy."

"Under these circumstances, it is absolutely unacceptable for the Fallen Ones to maintain good relations with the Four Emperors, or even form an alliance with them. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Stussy pursed her lips and elegantly took out a syringe from her delicate handbag. "Anyway... let's activate PLAN A first, using this dose of the drug I brought to induce Lingling's food cravings, right?"

"Yes, if the plan fails, Stussy, don't hesitate, activate PLAN B immediately!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle it personally, there's no way that's possible."

Stussy stared at the tip of the needle and smiled slightly:
"Also, don't speak to me in that commanding tone. Don't forget, Guernica, I am the best intelligence agent among us." ...

at the same time.

At the edge of the dock, a group of burly biscuit soldiers roughly grabbed several unlucky men and tied them up tightly.

One of the men, a man in a suit with a red nose, was beaten black and blue, struggling and yelling angrily:

"Hey! Charlotte's family, you've got it wrong! I'm a guest with an invitation! Stealing? What could I possibly do? I would never do such a despicable thing!"

"Stop talking nonsense and behave!"

Cracker kicked out and snorted coldly:
"This was an order personally given by Katakuri. Anyone who was at the dock at the time and belonged to the underworld is a suspect. You, sir, are called Marsor, right? Of course, you're no exception!"

But I'm a pirate, not an underworld figure!

Bucky was on the verge of tears, opened his mouth but couldn't explain.

He finally managed to get his hands on a treasure map a while ago, only to discover that it pointed to Cake Island.

In the past, he would have given up. That was Big Mom's territory. Outsiders who wanted to dig for treasure on the island were simply asking for death. Who would want to mess with that crazy old woman?

but……

We were scared off by the banner of the fallen last time, so it would be a huge loss to give up this time as well.

Bucky was really unwilling to give up, and just then, news of Bigom's tea party spread across the sea.

This was a rare opportunity, so he had a sudden inspiration and decided to lead his men to attack a small underground force that had been invited, intending to impersonate this Marsor and infiltrate the Kingdom of Ten Thousand.

Anyway, he didn't plan to show his face at the tea party. After arriving, he would quietly dig up the treasure and then make a quick getaway.

If you keep a low profile, you shouldn't be discovered.

The results of it?
God knows who I messed with; I'd barely gotten ashore when I was inexplicably arrested.

I heard there was a riot at the docks, and some amazing thief broke into the world and stole a lot of valuables.

That damn thief!!!
What am I going to do now? Am I only going to rely on those idiot subordinates who escaped to rescue me?

"Report! Lord Cracker, we've captured this guy's subordinate, and found shovels, sacks, ropes, and other tools used in the crime on him!"

Bucky turned his head to look.

Chief of Staff Kabaji, stripped naked, was curled up on the ground, trembling with grievance.

"Report! Lord Cracker, we also found two empty treasure chests on another of this guy's subordinates, clearly intended to be used to store stolen goods!"

He turned back to look in that direction again.

—First mate Mochi's eyes rolled back as he was held in the hand of a biscuit soldier, his fate unknown.

"You two are deliberately trying to kill me..." Bucky burst into tears and sobbed.

boom!
A biscuit-shaped fist covered in Armament Haki suddenly slammed down.

Before Bucky could react, he was slammed into the ground with a scream, foaming at the mouth, his limbs twitching, with only his red nose sticking out.

"It seems there is nothing more to say."

Cracker withdrew his fist, his face grim. "It's almost certain that these idiots did this. Luckily, Lord Shano wasn't affected, otherwise I would have killed this red-nosed guy on the spot..."

"Hey, Montor! Lock this guy in your library prison first, and we'll interrogate him properly after we're done with the tea party!"

"Yes, Brother Cracker!"

A pale-faced man with a similar red nose hurriedly agreed.

His name is Charlotte Montdor, the nineteenth son, nicknamed "The Scribe," a Paramecia-type Book-Book Fruit user who can pull others into his own story world.

With a slight lift of his right hand, a giant book suddenly appeared. After unfolding it and turning to a certain page, what appeared before his eyes was none other than the iron bars of a prison.

Bucky and the others, who had been beaten unconscious, were then roughly thrown into the Library Prison by the Biscuit Soldiers...

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

On the other side, the cake castle.

After a hearty welcome feast, the crew of the Fallen Ones were given the best rooms.

After days of travel, everyone was quite tired, and they all slept very soundly.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the open-air plaza at the very top of the Cake Castle had already been decorated in a magnificent manner.

Dozens of long tables were covered with luxurious tablecloths and filled with all kinds of desserts and drinks. Homies mingled among them, serving the guests who arrived one after another.

Amidst much anticipation, the long-awaited tea party officially began.

The kings of the underworld have finally entered the scene—King of Storage Gibson, King of News Morgans, King of Transportation Umit, King of Loan Sharks Du Field…

These powerful figures who control the lifelines of various industries in the new world have all, without prior agreement, restrained their usual arrogance.

After taking their seats, they first bowed to BIGMOM, who was seated on the throne.

Then, their gazes inadvertently swept across the throne directly opposite, to the only empty seat at the same height as Big Mom's throne.

These old foxes all knew very well who the real protagonist of this tea party was.

They also understood that their so-called title of "Emperor of the Underworld" could intimidate ordinary people, but it meant nothing in front of the man whom even the Four Emperors treated with utmost respect.

Lingling and they were already old acquaintances, so she could be more casual and friendly with them.

But this is the first time I've officially dealt with this person, so I have to show them the utmost respect.

"Wow! All our old friends are here today! Welcome! Welcome everyone! Let's have a drink!"

BIGMOM laughed and raised her glass; her enormous body almost occupied the entire throne.

In addition, she was wearing a pink tutu dress, and her heavily made-up face was covered with wrinkles, making her look rather unsightly.

This left some guests, who were attending the tea party for the first time, feeling a sense of regret and disappointment.

It's really hard to imagine...

This repulsive old fat woman was once incredibly beautiful and powerful, the most famous beauty on the high seas, two or three decades ago.

However, the passage of time and the growth of appetite eventually led to the loss of everything.

Although they were thinking these thoughts, no one dared to show it on their faces. All the guests, as well as the Charlotte family members who were qualified to sit down, all raised their glasses with smiles.

And just then.

squeak~
Suddenly, the door to the banquet hall on the top floor was slowly pushed open by a hand.

　I can't stop writing here, so I'll keep writing all night. There's another chapter coming. Readers who can't wait can go to sleep now and read it tomorrow morning.
