A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Alvida, unable to bear it any longer, brandished her spiked club and demanded with exasperation, "You two idiots, look at yourselves carefully! This isn't about whether or not to deal with the Straw Hat crew. Are you even capable of handling that 'Shichibukai'? He's the infamous 'Tyrant'!"

That's right!

Bartholomew Bear, such a big man, was standing right there. If I tried to steal the treasure right in front of him, wouldn't it be terrible if he tried to stop me?

Bucky fell into deep thought, and after a long while...

Boom!

Buggy tapped his palms together like hammers, and his thoughts suddenly flowed like a completely relieved stomach after a bowel movement: "Let the Straw Hat crew face off against the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and we can reap the benefits!!"

"Things aren't that easy, are they?!" ×N

"I have no interest in treasure!"

Whether it was to build rapport, or even to do someone a favor, or perhaps he genuinely had no interest in getting involved, Xiong suddenly uttered those words, then stood there blankly, looking like he was saying, "You guys keep fighting, I'll just watch the show."

"Does this guy... really think we'll believe him just by saying that?"

Galdino was sweating profusely, his eyes fixed on the bear, not daring to make a move. He didn't believe that any pirate would be unmoved by treasure, even if that person was a Shichibukai.

Bucky, however, didn't seem to care. Although he wasn't sure about Bear's attitude, with treasure right in front of him, it wasn't his style not to take it. So he patted Galdino on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, since he hasn't indicated that he wants to get involved, we can't let this opportunity pass us by!"

"3! You should be able to build a bridge between the two ships, right? Let's move the treasure over first!"

"It's possible! But those pirates..."

Bucky straightened his back, his face full of confidence: "They're just a bunch of small fry, what's there to be afraid of?"

Now that you mention it... there's some truth to it!

Galdino suddenly remembered that since this guy could fight a Celestial Dragon in the street and escape from the encirclement of a Marine Admiral, he might actually have some skill. He immediately felt relieved!

So he stretched out his hands, and a large amount of liquid wax gushed out. The liquid wax quickly took shape and created a wide and exquisite candle bridge on the two sailboats that were already very close together. It was also decorated with exquisite carvings.

If a mage were here, they would recognize the carvings on these bridges as the guild emblem of Fairy Tail—something he had learned from a recent exchange with Gray about art and design…

"Well done, 3!"

Bucky laughed heartily, then waved his hand and shouted to those behind him, "Men, bring all the treasure up here!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

In an instant, a group of pirates swarmed forward and boarded the Going Merry via the Candle Bridge.

On the other side, Perona was so angry that she stomped her feet as one unexpected person after another appeared, causing her escape plan to fail.

She rolled her eyes and decided to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

Kuma, like Moria, is a Shichibukai, so the chances of her defeating him are too low; the red-nosed guy has many people and his strength is unknown, and his temperament is somewhat similar to the long-nosed guy who defeated her before, so ghosts might not be effective against him; as for the woman in the Straw Hat crew, she knows that she is not very strong, and since the opponent is only one person, she can easily handle her.

After figuring it out, Perona jumped onto the Going Merry: "Get off! The treasure and the ship are mine!!"

With that, she waved her hands, and a semi-transparent ghost emerged from her body and flew quickly toward Nami.

"Oh no!?!" Nami's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so uncivilized, attacking a weak woman like herself. She immediately sensed something was wrong.

She knew all too well that these ghosts could demoralize people, and even Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji couldn't withstand them, let alone herself. In a panic, Nami grabbed a nearby pirate extra and used it as a shield in front of her.

thump!

The minor pirate who had previously relayed her message knelt on the ground, dejected: "I'm so sorry for being born!"

Nami gripped the weather stick tightly, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Perona: "What a vicious woman! How could she treat a defenseless girl like this?!"

"You're not unarmed at all, are you?!"

"And that guy just relayed a message for you, and you turned around and used him as a shield? Who's more ruthless between us?!"

For a moment, Perona felt that the woman in front of her was a thousand times more vicious than herself, and compared to her, she was simply a great person.

After all, no matter how bad I am, I wouldn't use my subordinates as a shield!

"Take this!!"

When her first attack failed, Perona continued her offensive. This time, she unleashed four or five Negative Ghosts, determined that Nami could not possibly capture so many people to block her attack!

"Oh no! Don't come any closer!!"

Upon seeing this, Nami's face turned pale instantly, and she turned and ran away. As she ran, she suddenly saw the members of the Buggy Pirates touching her treasure.

Enraged once more, he disregarded the ghost behind him and charged forward, slamming his club down on the pirates' heads: "What are you guys doing to my treasure?!"

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

To protect her treasure, Nami unleashed her extraordinary fighting prowess, delivering several punches to the pirates.

Keep in mind that even Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp, with their physical strength, couldn't withstand Nami's punches, let alone some lowly pirate extras. In the blink of an eye, she had left several bumps on their heads.

Taking advantage of this moment, the ghost caught up with him, laughing loudly.

At the critical moment, Nami quickly covered her head and crouched down to dodge the ghost attacks. The four or five ghosts, by sheer coincidence, landed on the Buggy Pirates who had just stepped onto the Going Merry.

Thump! Thump!! Thump!! ...

"I'm sorry! I'm just wasting food by being alive!!"

"Please, just shoot me dead!!"

"I am not worthy to take these treasures, I am truly sorry!"

"I'm not even worth as much as a wax figure!!"

In an instant, the Buggy Pirates were almost completely wiped out, with only Buggy himself surviving the last one to board.

Seeing his entire army wiped out, Bucky was both shocked and furious.

"What...what have you done to my crew?!"

Although Bucky was shouting loudly, his face was full of fear. Not only was there snot hanging from his red nose, but he also involuntarily took a half step back.

"helohelohelohelo!!..."

Perona chuckled eerily as she strode forward in her little leather boots, her face radiating arrogance. "They're no longer able to fight!"

Sure enough, apart from that long-nosed guy, no one can bear their own negative ghost!

If I get even a little serious, neither the women of the Straw Hat crew nor this red-nosed guy who appeared out of nowhere can beat me!

With a wave of his hand, another bunch of ghosts appeared: "You'd better fall down too!"

"Negative~ Negative~"

The ghost, its long, bright red tongue lolling out, swung its two short arms, floating lightly through the air before finally rushing towards Bucky from several directions.

"Oh no!... It's torn to pieces!!"

Just before the ghost pierced through his body, Bucky instinctively separated his body, narrowly avoiding the attack. He escaped, but his henchmen suffered the consequences, quickly falling down like the previous members.

Where Perona couldn't see, a pair of feet secretly hid among the pile of treasure.

Chapter 959 Bear: I regret it now, I regret it so much!

Bucky's body flew through the air as he glanced at Kabaji, Mochi, Galdino, Alvida, and the others who were extremely dejected after being attacked, and he immediately understood the purpose of these ghosts.

"So that's how it is. If you get hit by these ghosts, you'll end up like that? What a terrifying ability!"

Although both are weak and rely on luck, Buggy and Usopp have different mindsets. The most obvious difference is that Buggy's personality is not as negative as Usopp's; instead, he is full of ambition and desire—even if the object of his desire is treasure.

That's why Bucky can't be immune to the mental interference of negative spirits and can only hide from them.

"Miniature Pakistani bombs!!"

boom!!

A massive explosion rocked the Merry, leaving irreparable damage to the deck and masts.

Nami was furious because the explosion had created a hole in the deck of the Going Merry.

Using the smoke and dust from the explosion, Bucky quickly took cover in a spot temporarily free of ghosts: "That was close..."

"You bastard Bucky!! What are you doing to Merry?!"

A voice rang in his ear, startling Buggy. He quickly turned around and saw that Nami had somehow hidden behind him and was glaring at him angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense! If we don't do that, we'll all be wiped out!" Bucky picked his nose nonchalantly, thinking that it wasn't his ship anyway, so he wouldn't care if it exploded!

"Hey, do you have any ideas on how to deal with these ghosts?"

"If I had one, I would have used it already!!"

"She's a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user. If she faints, the ghost and negative effects will naturally disappear, so..."

"Idiot! If she could faint so easily, she wouldn't be in this state now!"

Buggy immediately gave Nami a disdainful look: "Tch! What a useless woman! As expected, this kind of thing still requires Captain Buggy!"

He then looked toward the deck, where Perona was using her ghosts to search for him, while simultaneously splitting off his right hand to prepare for a sneak attack.

Under his careful control, his right hand, carrying the throwing knife, cautiously extended out of the deck, circled the Merry, and stealthily approached Perona from behind.

"Now!"

However, just as Bucky was about to make his move, the girl's voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Found you!!"

Bucky shuddered and turned around, only to be shocked to find a ghost had appeared behind him at some point. Not only that, the ghost was now tilting its head and looking at him, seemingly mocking his clumsy hide-and-seek skills.

Ghost and Perona share a field of vision, so when Ghost finds Bucky, Perona naturally finds him as well.

This sudden change sent chills down Bucky's spine. He immediately stood up to dodge, but it was too late. A clean, white right hand was placed on his back, and then...

Ghost Thrust!

thump!!

"I can't even protect the treasure, I'm so useless!" Bucky collapsed to the ground just like the others.

This man with the strongest Conqueror's Haki luck ultimately became 'Super Buggy', but he was defeated by one of the 'Four Little Girls' who possessed a bug-level Devil Fruit, so his defeat was not unjust.

Nami sighed helplessly: "You're still as useless as ever... So, the news in the newspapers about you attacking the Celestial Dragons was actually done by Ace or those mages, wasn't it?"

The bear not far away suddenly looked up in Bucky's direction, and seemed to understand something.

"You're the last one left!"
