One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Now, they are merely taking advantage of the new policies promulgated by Kurozumi Orochi to move from the shadows to the surface.

If the rebel army wants to advance eastward and take the Flower Capital directly, they will have to pass through either Nozomi or Udon.

In addition to the "Blood Letter" Imperial Guard blocking the way, there is also a huge quarry in the Udon area, where people who rebel against the Beasts Pirates and the rule of Kurozumi Orochi are imprisoned. If the rebel army forces its way through here, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Yang Ming had already ordered Buggy the Clown, who was infiltrated into the Beasts Pirates, to take action and lead a group of Beasts Pirates members to wipe out the prisoners in the quarry.

As for the Ximei region, it is sparsely populated, with large tracts of land abandoned, making it difficult to obtain supplies during the march, and it is also a treacherous route.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just as the rebels were enthusiastically playing cards in Oden Castle, Buggy the Clown was strutting around with a bunch of his underlings, heading excitedly to the quarry in Udon.

Back after their parting at Water 7, Buggy the Clown, under Yang Ming's secret instructions, successfully infiltrated the Beasts Pirates. After more than a year, he gained Kaido's trust and has now replaced Page One, who was imprisoned by Yang Ming, as the new Flying Six.

Behind Bucky the Clown followed a group of henchmen, among whom the two in the front row had the most distinctive physical characteristics. They were not only extremely large, but also looked fierce and menacing.

On the left is a woman, as tall as a female giant, dressed in revealing clothing that exposes a large expanse of fair skin. She is numbered 9 and is one of the nine ninjas among the numbered individuals. Her specific name is no longer known.

On the right is a man who looks like a humanoid wild boar. He has two pairs of outward-pointing horns on his head, and his spine is covered with needle-like yellow hair. His back is arched high, and his mouth is wide open, revealing a row of sharp teeth. The tips of his ten fingers shoot out hook-shaped claws, which gleam with a chilling light. He is one of the Ten Demons among the numbered ones, and his fighting style is extremely cruel.

Within the Beasts Pirates, there is a very clear hierarchy of rank and status.

The governor, the big boss, the flying six, the real fighter, the giver, the numberer, and other personnel all have clear job descriptions and are responsible for different matters.

Besides the Nine Ninja and the Ten Demons, Buggy the Clown also had more than 500 pirates with him.

In the first half of the Grand Line, more than 500 pirates would be enough to form a medium-sized pirate crew, but in the Beast Pirates, it would only be the size of a small squad.

Buggy the Clown has been infiltrating the Beasts Pirates for over a year and has already figured out how many people there are. They number in the tens of thousands. If a protracted war were to break out, Kaido the Beasts could even conscript men from his territory to fill the manpower gaps.

This is precisely the huge difference in strength between pirates with territory and pirates without territory.

Pirates without territory have to hide and avoid being arrested by the Navy. They drift aimlessly at sea. To reduce unnecessary trouble, they need to save money and ensure that everyone has enough food.

Pirates who have their own territory don't need to worry about these things at all. They don't even have to worry about supplies, so they can unleash their full power.

Recalling the information about the Beasts Pirates in his mind, Buggy the Clown's admiration for Yang Ming flowed endlessly like a torrent.

Defeating Kaido of the Beasts is not difficult; what is difficult is killing Kaido of the Beasts and destroying the entire Beasts Pirates.

As Bucky the Clown pondered, he crossed a towering mine, and finally the outline of a quarry appeared ahead.

The entire mine unfolded before Bucky the Clown like a scroll painting.

The entire mine pit covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, equivalent to the size of dozens of football fields. There are winding paths around it, which are not smooth roads, but rather roads dug out with pickaxes. They look uneven and are full of gravel of different sizes, which greatly affects the marching speed.

The road surface spirals downwards in layers. If you walk on this narrow road, you could easily tumble down if you're not careful. Falling down this mine mountain, which is thousands of meters high, would definitely cause you great damage.

Looking around, on these narrow paths, miners, shirtless and wearing sea stone shackles, pushed mine carts, sweating profusely.

The mine carts were loaded with ores of various sizes, making them appear extremely heavy.

Miners usually only have a rice ball to fill their stomachs and have very little strength. Every step they take requires a lot of effort. After a round of transporting goods, they are almost exhausted and have no energy to do anything else.

This unique design of the mine was not only intended to prevent miners from escaping or rebelling, but also to torment them, making their lives worse than death.

In the center of the ore stood a towering, muscular man with arms as thick as elephant legs, long black hair, and a thick beard covering his cheeks and chin. He stood with his hands on his hips, his large, piercing eyes fixed intently on each miner.

If any miner slacks off in the slightest, or even slacks off during work hours, Babanuki will swing his arms, which are inlaid with metal plates, and beat the miner until he vomits blood.

As the head guard of the prison quarry, Babanuki was practically a local tyrant in his small territory. No prisoner dared to contradict him.

When Babanuki saw Bucky the Clown arrive with a group of henchmen, he raised an eyebrow and said indifferently:

"I wonder what brings you here, Lord Fei Liubao, from so far away?"

Ignoring Babanuki's subtle hostility, Bucky the Clown flashed an exaggerated smile and said:

"I have come on the orders of Lord Kaido to wipe out the miners at the quarry."

"How is that possible! These miners are the wealth of the Beasts Pirates. Without them, where would we get such free labor!"

Enraged, Babanuki even raised his voice involuntarily, making it clear to all the miners.

All the miners paused in their work and pricked up their ears.

Bucky the Clown looked around, spotted his target, and swaggered forward, saying:

"Lord Kaido said that Wano Country is currently in a precarious situation. The Revolutionary Army is stirring up trouble in the southeast corner, and the rebel army is raising the banner of resistance in the northwest corner. In order to concentrate our efforts on important matters, he ordered me to eliminate all unstable factors."

After saying that, Bucky the Clown went up to a short old man and gently patted him.

The next moment, the sea stone broke in two.

Thanks to the effects of the Chop-Chop Fruit, Hyogoro regained his freedom.

"Asshole, what are you doing!"

Meeting Babanuki's fiery gaze, Bucky the Clown exclaimed in surprise:

"This isn't my fault; it's all your fault for building such a shoddy Hailoushi project!"

Chapter 243 Even if the pain is unbearable, please don't run away from it, try to live on.

After years of mining, the mountain has become uneven, forming strange and unusual shapes.

Inside the mine, rust and ash covered the ground and air. The thick dust made the air murky, and the exhaust from the boilers turned into billowing smoke, which mixed with the smell of sand and gravel, creating a suffocating odor.

Among these many miners, there is one miner who is the most special.

The oldest and thinnest of the miners was the one with the orange-rimmed, dark blue-lensed glasses. He had a small tuft of light blue, flame-shaped hair on his head, as did his eyebrows and beard. Like the other miners, he was shirtless, wearing only a pair of faded, worn-out trousers to cover himself, and an orange scarf around his neck for warmth.

On his shoulders and back, there were blue vest-shaped tattoos adorned with pink flowers.

Don't underestimate these tattoo designs. They have a very important meaning in the underworld of Wano Country. Every member of the underworld must choose a tattoo to be engraved on their body when they join the gang. This is not only to show off their status and position, but also to demonstrate the power they belong to.

Different tattoos have different meanings.

For example, koi fish tattoos represent luck, strength, and bravery.

In the legends of Wano Country, koi carp are said to be able to swim upstream in waterfalls, thus representing perseverance and motivation, as well as determination and the meaning of victory.

Generally speaking, in Wano Country, ordinary people in the underworld usually use animals and flowers as tattoo designs, and rarely use stars.

Because the location of stars on this vast sea can help navigators determine the direction of their voyage, and they also have functions such as divination in folk traditions, star tattoos generally symbolize the adventurous spirit of exploring and discovering the world, as well as light and hope.

Hana no Hyogoro, also known as Uncle Hyogoro.

In his youth, this man was a prominent figure in the underworld of Wano Country. Known for his chivalry and public-spiritedness, he was called a "knight-errant" and commanded over 200 soldiers. His reputation alone was enough to rally more than 5,000 people in Wano Country to rebel. He was always regarded by Orochi as the most unstable member of the group.

But now, this legendary figure from Wano Country has actually broken free from the Seastone shackles!

And all of this is thanks to Bucky the Joker!

At that moment, Babanuki disregarded his anger and immediately attacked Hana no Hyōgoro to prevent him from escaping from the quarry after breaking free.

If this person manages to escape, it will surely cause great chaos. When Kaido of the Beasts blames him, he will definitely be unable to defend himself and will suffer severe punishment!

Even someone as strong as Babanuki couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Kaido's methods of punishing people.

Ignoring Buggy the Clown who had drifted to the side, Hana no Hyōgor stretched his aching wrists, looked around, and addressed the miners in a deep voice:

"Brothers, since the Beasts Pirates intend to kill us, why don't we rise up in rebellion!"

Having said that, Hana no Hyōgor took the lead and stood up.

Armament Haki coiled around his withered arms. Despite the ravages of time, his frail body was now bursting with power no less than that of Babanuki.

"boom!"

As their fists clashed, a powerful gust of wind arose, centered on the two men.

Feeling the power emanating from his opponent's fist, Babanuki's expression darkened, and he grinned maliciously:

"Old man, if you were ten years younger, I might be a little afraid of you, but now... die!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Babanuki swung his two thick, long arms, his punches thundering and the sound of exploding air echoing in the air.

Babanuki and Hana no Hyōgoro did not use any weapons, fighting solely with their bare fists. Their fists were so dense that they were impenetrable, and the sound of each punch landing on flesh echoed continuously.

As the miners watched Heigoro Hana fight, they recalled what Buggy the Clown had said earlier: the Beast Pirates wanted to wipe out the remnants of the crew. If they didn't fight to the death, they might become lambs to the slaughter.

So, the miners responded to the call of the Flower Heigoro and fought against the more than 500 men brought by the Clown Buggy.

Bucky the Clown constantly darted back and forth across the battlefield, much like the legendary entertainer. While constantly slapping away the miners' shackles, he also secretly sabotaged his teammates, occasionally shooting them in the back and causing them to die without knowing why.

Doing this kind of dirty work is something most people wouldn't do, and you'd feel a bit guilty about it.

But Bucky the Joker is different. He is skilled in his craft, has excellent marksmanship, and his teammates have no idea that he did it. His acting skills are top-notch, leaving no one with any evidence against him.

The Nine Ninjas and Ten Demons were incredibly powerful. With their massive size and strong physique, they showed no fear even when surrounded and attacked by dozens of miners. With a simple sweep of their arms, a row of miners were sent flying, their sternums broken, and they vomited blood repeatedly in mid-air.

Despite the ferocity of these two Beasts Pirates members, there were simply too many miners.

Over the years, Orochi has allowed his subordinates to frequently confiscate the property of wealthy people he dislikes on trumped-up charges. The entire family is then labeled as remnants of the Kozuki family and imprisoned in the quarry. As a result, the number of miners here has not decreased but has instead increased.

Even the quarry's foreman, Babanuki, sometimes didn't know exactly how many miners were working at the quarry.

These miners, who have long suffered under the oppression of the Beasts Pirates and Orochi, are now fighting a desperate battle, displaying unimaginable bravery and resilience.

Since their individual strength was inferior to those of the more than 500 pirates, they grouped up in pairs or threes to attack together, determined to take a piece of flesh from their enemies even if it meant death.

It was precisely because of this ruthlessness that the battle between the more than 500 pirates and the thousands of miners was extremely brutal. Limbs and bones were everywhere, and blood gushed out, staining the entire earth a crimson color on the sand and gravel, a truly horrifying sight.

Despite the miners' fearless fighting spirit and the constant sabotage of Bucky the Clown, these miners, having suffered years of torment and hunger, quickly lost their fighting strength after their initial burst of energy.

The Beasts Pirates are a group of desperate men. Seeing that the miners were running out of steam, their eyes flashed with a fierce light, and they all grabbed their swords and launched a counterattack.

The sounds of blades piercing flesh, wailing, and screams filled the air, like a symphony that chilled the heart.

Seeing those familiar faces lying in pools of blood, Hana no Hyōgor felt a pang of heartache.

Unfortunately, his strength is not what it used to be, and he is unable to deal with a mere Babanuki for the time being. On the contrary, as time goes by, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to them.

"Am I to die today?"

Just as Hana no Hyōgor was feeling desperate, he suddenly caught sight of a flagpole on the mine, with a flag flying on it. At the same time, a group of unfamiliar faces appeared under the flag, but the leader looked very familiar to Hana no Hyōgor.

Kozuki Sukiyaki, dressed in a drab gray military uniform and riding a swift horse, surveyed the chaos of the quarry from his elevated position. He immediately drew his sword, its tip pointing diagonally at Babanuki below, and raised his voice:

"The Beasts Pirates are a force to be reckoned with!"

"Brothers, follow me!"

Having said that, Kozuki Sukiyaki spurred his horse's flanks and, with a neigh, galloped along the winding road, followed closely by a group of soldiers.
