Chapter 142 Bucky: More powerful than my Bucky Bomb?

Zoro picked up the fruit, instantly triggering the contract quest.

【Contract Quest (1/5)】

Mission objective: Defeat the near-shore king lurking near the docks.

Quest Reward: Ghostly Affinity Lv.1 (White)

"Ghostly aura?"

Zoro frowned. The mission reward didn't seem to have anything to do with swordsmanship, which was a bit of a shame.

The term "King of the Nearshore" refers to some enormous, strange fish that frequently appear in shallow waters.

It was an enormous creature that would be impossible for ordinary people to resist, but for Zoro it was just a slightly larger piece of meat. He had encountered it once before, and after cutting it into pieces, he sold it to the auction house.

"King of the Coast, set sail!"

Luffy cheered excitedly and grabbed Zoro and Nami as they rushed towards the dock.

……

the other side,

The Buggy Pirates also realized the special nature of the Contract Fruit.

The battered and bruised first mate, Mochi, showed Bucky his new weapon.

A taming whip.

Bucky squinted, not noticing anything unusual about the beast-taming whip, and replied dismissively, "Very well, where did you go just now to get like this?"

"There is a dense forest east of Orange Town. Following the fruit's guidance, Ricky and I found an unmined iron ore vein, and then we got this beast-taming whip as a reward."

Mochi gripped the beast-taming whip with great excitement, as if he had obtained a priceless treasure.

Bucky, however, brightened up upon hearing about the iron ore vein and asked, "You found an iron ore vein? Where is it?"

Even a low-quality iron ore vein can fetch a good price of several million Berries at auction.

Mochi scratched his head sheepishly and said, "When the mission was completed, the iron ore vein disappeared and could not be found."

Are you making fun of me?

Upon hearing a lie that even a child couldn't believe, Bucky's face darkened horribly.

"It's true!"

Mochi, fearing Buggy's anger, quickly explained, "The Contract Fruit will take away the quest items."

Bucky was so angry he laughed, wondering if his first mate had lost his mind. He said, "You mean... an iron ore vein worth millions of Berries, and all you got in return was a broken whip?"

"This is no ordinary animal taming whip."

"Really? Then show me what's special about it."

Bucky suppressed his anger and waited for Mochi to explain himself.

Snapped.

A crisp crack of a whip rang out.

Liki let out a howl as he was whipped with the taming whip, his voice faintly revealing a sense of excitement.

"this one?"

Bucky's lips twitched, and he was about to speak when he was stunned by what happened next.

Then you see the lion Liki, whose fur suddenly bristles after being whipped with the taming whip, looking terrifying. Most importantly...

I don't know if it's just my imagination,

Why does it seem like Leopard Leigh has gotten bigger?

"That's right, Captain Bucky!"

Mochi tenderly stroked the beast-taming whip, boasting, "Beasts that have been whipped by the beast-taming whip become even stronger."

"Furthermore, according to the information in my mind, the Beast Taming Whip is just a beginner's weapon. If you complete all the contract quests and become a player in the Reincarnation Game, treasure, power, and all your desires can be fulfilled!"

"everything!?"

Bucky's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He wanted to reprimand Mochi, but then he glanced at the taming whip and then at the lion Liki, whose size had increased.

He took out the last remaining contract fruit with some skepticism, the same text still echoing in his mind: five million Berries were required.

"If it's not what you said, then you're dead, Mochi... and Liki!"

Buggy was heartbroken and stomped his feet, suppressing the pain of losing his money, and took out a heavy cloth bag from the pirate tent.

Five million peles.

Even for the notorious pirate Buggy, pulling out such a huge sum of money wouldn't be easy.

After all, being a pirate is a dangerous job. They could be swept into the sea by storms, captured by the Navy, or even killed by other pirate crews at any time. Saving money is out of the question; pleasure is the main goal for pirates.

but,

Buggy's change in Leigh and Nami's determination to take the fruit with her when she ran away made him realize that the Contract Fruit was not as simple as it seemed.

"To fulfill all wishes?"

Bucky's heart pounded; his dream was to seize all the treasures in the world.

That stupid guy Shanks, he's a pirate, but he has no interest in treasure. Can a pirate like that even be called a pirate?

boom.

The bag was suddenly empty.

A strange memory suddenly flooded into Bucky's mind.

Some knowledge about metal manufacturing, elements, and power ultimately merged into a large category of knowledge about metals and gunpowder.

[Armor-Piercing Bullet Manufacturing Lv.1]: Consumes stamina to manufacture bullets with extremely high penetrating power.

Tip: You can bring your own materials to reduce physical exertion.

Originating from celestial gunslingers in the sky and ocean, some of these gunslingers possess exceptional understanding and skills in bullet manufacturing, treating guns and bullets as their very lives, and are capable of creating powerful bullets with various functions.

"Captain Bucky..."

The chief of staff, Kabaji, riding his unicycle, looked at the captain, who was standing there dumbfounded, and felt a little nervous.

Immediately, with tears in her eyes, she thrust her sword at Mochi, but it was blocked by the claws of the lion Liki.

"That damned Mochi! How dare he deceive Captain Buggy! Now that Captain Buggy has eaten the poisonous fruit and become an idiot, what are we going to do?!"

Mochi was startled, scratched his furry white hair, and angrily cursed, "Idiot, Captain Buggy didn't eat a Devil Fruit!"

"That's your fault too!"

"You idiot, did you lose your mind from riding a unicycle?"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Hearing the noise around him, Bucky shouted with a grim expression, then slowly processed the memories in his mind.

Suddenly, he rushed into the tent where supplies were stored, brandishing his dagger and prying open a box of high explosives containing raw materials for making Pakistani bombs.

Two minutes later,

A strangely shaped magazine was made, but instead of regular bullets, it was filled with small daggers.

"Get the gun!"

A flintlock pistol was handed to Bucky.

Bucky was nervous as he tentatively pressed the finished magazine against the flintlock rifle.

The flintlock pistol and magazine, which were clearly mismatched, were strangely fused together.

Bucky aimed at a thick wall and pulled the trigger.

boom.

A dagger gleaming with a cold light shot out of the gun barrel, its grip popping out, the pure metal blade trailing a narrow wave of air as it propelled forward.

In the center of the rock-built wall, there was a mark left by a dagger.

Mochi leaned closer, asking curiously, "Captain Bucky, is this your new ability?"

It doesn't look that great, though it's slightly more powerful than a flintlock pistol.

"etc……"

Mochi suddenly widened his eyes and looked through the hole.

Not only were the walls breached,

After piercing the wall, the dagger even penetrated the messy room and furniture, passing directly out of the building and embedding itself in the wall across the street.

"Hahaha, so this is an armor-piercing round?"

Buggy let out a hearty laugh, his eyes fixed intently on the new mission of the Contract Fruit.

It turned out to be true!

This power is enough to penetrate even steel. Moreover, armor-piercing rounds can become even more penetrating and have a faster rate of fire as their level increases!

"Men, a new treasure has appeared! How can we stand still any longer? Charge with me!"
