After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

He appeared atop the highest castle tower of the royal palace, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked around, instantly taking in the entire Albana under the night sky.

"Old Sand, you've been plotting for twenty years, all you wanted was Hades, didn't you?"

"Actually, I've also got my eye on Hades, so you can forget about it."

As for using Pluto to destroy the world, that's not what Martin wants, but he needs Pluto to overthrow this corrupt world.

I just happened to be in Alabasta, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to have some fun.

Looking down at the kingdom's interior, Martin thought it was nothing special. Of course, the most important thing was the strong and lovable Princess Vivi, who was still a little girl at the time, which made Martin lose interest in exploring it.

With a gust of wind, he vanished into the vast night in the next second.

the other side.

Bucky the Clown, along with his gang of underlings from the Open Crotch Society, arrived menacingly at the Black Tiger Gang headquarters.

"Stop!"

Bucky the Clown waved his hand, then, with a serious expression, stared at the three-story building opposite him. After a moment's thought, he asked curiously, "DuPont, how strong is this Black Tiger Gang?"

Upon hearing this, the old man with the mustache dared not hide anything, as it concerned their lives. He quickly replied, "Master Ji, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang is called Black Tiger. He used to be a deputy captain of the Kingdom's guard. He was dismissed by the Kingdom for smoking alcohol while on duty. Most of his men are retired soldiers from the Kingdom, numbering about a hundred."

But Bucky the Clown's lips twitched uncontrollably, and suddenly a terrifying gaze fixed on the old man with the mustache, instantly frightening the latter into standing on end and feeling terrified.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm asking you about Black Tiger's strength."

The old man stammered for a moment, unsure how to answer.

This infuriated Buggy the Clown. He glared at him fiercely, then thought for a moment and quickly asked, "Are you a Devil Fruit user?"

"no!"

The old man with the mustache shook his head.

Upon hearing this answer, Bucky the Clown's face immediately lit up with satisfaction. Then, he became arrogant again, grinning coldly and speaking in a domineering tone: "Men, follow your Grandpa Bucky and charge in!"

"Charge!"

Under his leadership, a group of people stormed into the Black Tiger Gang headquarters with overwhelming momentum.

"who?"

"Oh no, enemy attack! It's the Kaidang Company infiltrating!"

"What are you waiting for? Go and inform the boss."

"Brothers, kill them!"

For a time, the sounds of fighting filled the three-story building, never ceasing.

Facing these weaklings, Bucky the Clown crossed his arms, his hands already flying out, leaving countless lives in his wake. He grinned and let out a maniacal laugh: "Hahahaha, you're all trash, die under Grandpa Bucky's blade!"

Just then, a robust middle-aged man, dressed in local clothing and carrying a knife, ran down from upstairs, followed by a large group of his men.

He was none other than Black Tiger, the gang leader. As soon as he came down, he saw the old man with the mustache and was furious: "Dubon, how dare you ambush me! I'm going to kill you!"

"You're Black Tiger?"

Suddenly, a disdainful voice came from above. Bucky the Clown was sitting in the chair at the top, looking at him with a mocking expression.

And who are you?

Black Tiger looked in the direction of the sound, then frowned slightly. At this critical juncture, the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest forced him to be cautious. He looked at Bucky the Clown with apprehension.

"Grandpa Bucky!"

"If you don't want to die, submit to me."

Bucky the Joker's words were extremely arrogant.

"Red Nose, who do you think you are? You dare to spout nonsense in our Black Tiger Gang. You're really courting death."

Before Black Tiger could speak, his trusted confidants began to scoff and shout.

"Red nose?"

Upon hearing those three words, Bucky the Joker's face instantly turned cold, and a strong killing intent emanated from him, spreading out and causing everyone present to tremble.

Swish!

Everyone saw a flash of white light, which instantly killed the person next to Black Tiger.

what

A scream suddenly rang out.

The sight instantly shocked everyone, who all looked at Buggy the Clown with fear. Even Black Tiger was so frightened that his legs trembled and his face grew even paler. He looked at Buggy the Clown again, his eyes filled with terror, and stammered, "You...you're a Devil Fruit user?"

Chatter!

Bucky the Clown laughed wildly and used his Devil Fruit power again. The next second, everyone saw him holding daggers in his hands, floating in mid-air, the sharp tips of the blades pointed directly at Black Tiger. If he dared to make a single move, his life would be over immediately.

"Surrender or die?"

"You can choose for yourselves!"

His voice was like a death knell to Black Tiger and the others.

No matter how powerful Black Tiger was, he was just an ordinary person with some strength, and he knew that he had no chance of defeating his opponent.

To save my life.

Finally, she lowered her proud head and said weakly, "I surrender!"

well.

"Don't worry, from now on, following Uncle Bucky, there will be endless treasures to dig up, endless fine wines to drink, and endless beauties to play with, wahahahahaha!"

Bucky the Clown stood up abruptly, spread his arms, and laughed arrogantly.

however.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a hole several meters in diameter suddenly appeared above his head, and stones rained down on Bucky the Clown, burying him instantly. Then, countless flying sand and stones descended upon him.

As more and more sand entered, it eventually coalesced into a human shape.

It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

next moment.

Shakrokdar, dressed in a black fur coat, with his hair slicked back and a cigar in his mouth, appeared before them.

Shakurodall makes his bizarre entrance in this way.

The pupils of Black Tiger, the old man with the mustache, and others suddenly contracted.

Another Devil Fruit user has appeared.

Moreover, it is a relatively rare natural type.

How could they not be terrified?

For a moment, everyone was completely silent, eerily quiet, with only the sound of rapid breathing clearly audible.

Crocodile glanced around, taking in the expressions on each of their faces.

He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Was it because their entrance was too amazing, or was there something else that made them make such expressions?

And this time.

A series of chaotic footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a group of Old Sha's henchmen rushing in with weapons in hand.

Ok?

Suddenly seeing the old man with the mustache here, he was stunned and somewhat bewildered.

The old man with the mustache stared at him, somewhat bewildered.

The next second, the two acted in perfect unison, speaking in unison.

"Virgil, what are you doing here?"

"DuPont, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

Black Tiger glanced left at the old man with the mustache, then right at Virgil who had just entered, thought of Bucky the Joker from before, and finally fixed his gaze on the charismatic old man, Sandy.

It seems that the OpenGear Company has been taken over by Devil Fruit users.

Now even his Black Tiger Gang is being targeted by the other side.

Black Tiger was torn. Both of them were Devil Fruit users, so which side should he surrender to?

Just then.

cough cough cough

Suddenly, a coughing sound came from under the stone slab that Old Sha was standing on.

Damn it, which blind bastard dared to ambush your Uncle Bucky?

Accompanied by angry shouts.

Buggy the Clown, who was trapped underneath, used his Devil Fruit powers to tear his body to pieces and slowly emerged from under the stone slab, much to the astonishment of the crowd.

Then, his upper body floated in mid-air, his face showing a very annoyed expression as he glared at Black Tiger, the old man with the mustache, and the others.

He didn't even notice Old Sha behind him.

"I'm furious. You dare to ambush even your Uncle Bucky? That's outrageous!"

"Who is it? I'm going to kill him!"

Bucky the Clown had originally intended to establish his authority in front of his newly recruited underlings, but he never expected things to turn out this way. How could he expect his subordinates to respect and fear him in the future? A surge of anger welled up in his heart, like a volcano about to erupt. With a cold expression, he spoke with murderous intent.

"No, no, it wasn't us!"

Black Tiger and the old man with the mustache swallowed hard, their throats agape, as they managed to swallow the saliva that was already stuck in their throats. Fear crossed their faces, and they quickly shook their heads.

Bucky the Joker gave the two men a deep look, then glanced sideways and spotted Virgil and his men who had suddenly appeared.

"So it's you guys?"
