One Piece: Buggy the Clown Who Fell From Grace

As veteran pirates, the biggest difference between Wang Zhi and Whitebeard is that Wang Zhi is more realistic.

It's also possible that his individual strength wasn't as terrifying as Whitebeard's.

It also lacks the powerful appeal of forming a family-style pirate crew.

The alliances within Wang Zhi's pirate crew were primarily based on mutual interests.

It is precisely because of the mutual interests involved that his personal failure will not directly affect the disbandment of the pirate crew.

Of course, whether he'll die is another matter.

Wang Zhi brought up this topic mainly because he realized a problem.

If I don't offer my advice, the Joker might just go all in on his entire fleet.

He wasn't actually as enlightened as he claimed.

It's like Wang Zhi running away.

If they go all in, the Joker might be happy, and Blackbeard might slink away in disgrace, but he'll lose his own empire.

I still can't bear to part with it.

Do you have any thoughts?

Buggy turned his head and looked at the group of fanatical pirates who had taken over the Blackbeard Pirates' fourth ship.

His eyesight was excellent; even from a distance of two or three nautical miles, he could clearly see the rough red marks on the pirates' faces.

The fighting with their own kind, coupled with the effects of poison gas, made them exceptionally excited.

Buggy was also impressed by the methods he used to torture the defeated pirates.

That's so cruel!

We must intensify our efforts!

"Those guys are old pirates, but they're still so clumsy."

Wang Zhi was used to this kind of scene.

What's frustrating is that they've already gotten a little carried away with themselves, even though they've only just begun to retaliate.

However, he only muttered under his breath, after all, the clown in front of him was the one who started it all.

After thinking for a moment, the old pirate said, "We must avoid a landing operation."

"Despite your presence and the presence of the pacifists, I believe it is best to avoid a landing operation."

"Besides his flagship docked in port, Blackbeard's other four ships are patrolling the coastal waters, and we've already captured the number four ship that was chasing us the most closely."

The old pirate was very thorough in his considerations.

He had previously fought an encounter battle with Blackbeard.

He was encountered.

They clashed with Blackbeard and his crew on Beehive Island.

The result can be imagined.

Before he could even use his own abilities, he was subdued by the old man. The Dark-Dark Fruit is particularly effective against Devil Fruit users.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of a trusted confidant, I might not have been able to reach Rocky Harbor.

If another landing operation were to be launched, even with the Joker holding off Old Black, Wang Zhi might not be able to defeat the criminals he brought out from the sixth level of the underwater prison.

"If it's a naval battle, what if Old Black just runs away?"

Bucky asked a question.

Old Black doesn't know he's going to be sliced ​​up yet. If he did, given his patient nature, he'd most likely abandon the island and run away.

However, that should be something that happens later.

At this stage, Blackbeard has no chance of escaping.

The pirate who just reached the top is being arrogant right now.

Unlike Whitebeard and Roger, Buggy doesn't display the strength to dominate the seas.

"This is another reason why I proposed naval warfare."

The old pirate's eyes lit up, and he became confident.

"As long as we're at sea, I can guarantee they can't escape."

The fleet began to move according to Wang Zhi's command.

After Blackbeard's fourth ship fell, the other ships clearly sensed the danger and gathered together.

The main ship, docked in Rocky Harbor, also began to move.

That was a ship.

A very unique ship.

The kind of aesthetic that's very unique.

The whole thing is an enlarged version of a raft. Four thick logs were cut off and tied together to form the hull. The raft has cannons on all four sides, about twenty in total, and only one mast, which is the mainmast. There are three horizontal sails and one stern sail.

It perfectly matches Lao Hei's rugged temperament.

With their unique aesthetic sense, they modified all five of the pirate crew's ships to look the same.

The main ship is just a bit bigger.

Regardless of whether Wang Zhi launches a landing operation or not, the main ship must be put into operation, otherwise it will be a sitting duck if it stays in the port.

However, being backed by the port allows for both advance and retreat, which suits Lao Hei's character perfectly.

Wang Zhi's flagship slowed down, its three sails were folded up, while the medium and small ships worked together to fire at Blackbeard's ship.

The advantages of many light ships have become apparent.

They were harassed in various ways by the main ship with their backs to it.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we advance.

These pirates mastered the art of guerrilla warfare to its fullest extent.

Bucky was amazed.

No wonder Wang Zhi, this old pirate, strongly chose naval warfare.

He really knows it.

This reveals the weakness of Old Black's entire gang being villains.

Lacking skilled crew members, they were overwhelmed by the experienced naval fleet. Their large wooden rafts were struggling to cope, much like being harassed by mosquitoes after the lights were turned off.

"We can't follow their lead!"

Old Hei was also clearly aware of this problem.

He formed an all-powerful pirate crew, not to engage in naval warfare.

"Oka, Bages, you guys go!"

"Understood, Captain."

Following Blackbeard, the sniper was noticeably more at ease.

Gizzaz Burgess, a muscular fighting champion, immediately flexed his biceps and showed off upon hearing this.

Their tactics were quite simple.

Van Augur reached out and put his hand on Burgess's shoulder, activating his teleportation fruit ability to appear on the side of ship number 3.

His teleportation ability has a limited range; he needs to step on several pedals to do so.

Especially in naval warfare.

The two only lingered briefly on the ship's side.

The next moment, they teleported to one of Wang Zhi's medium-sized ships.

Burgess's fist had been gathering strength for some time.

"Uppercut!"

The moment the fighting champion landed, his right fist slammed down, dragging his entire body with it.

The fist landed on the open deck, but the force went straight down.

With a single punch, the ship's keel creaked and groaned.

But Burgess wasn't satisfied yet.

Using his shoulder as a shield, he slammed through more than ten pirates blocking his way, arriving at the mainmast. He spread his arms wide, just enough to embrace the mast.

Then, exerting all his strength, he actually managed to pull the mainmast up.

Several sails were torn apart, and the deck where they were standing was also broken.

"Hahahaha!"

Burgess swung the mast twice, instantly sweeping all the pirates off the deck.

"This guy's strength is terrifying!"

"Go, go quickly! This guy is a Power-Power Fruit user, let the ship captain deal with them."

Seeing that their ship was sinking beyond repair, the pirates simply jumped into the sea.

If you're lucky, you might even find a piece of wood floating on the surface.

Instead of giving chase, Burgess and Van Oka used the same tactic, sinking all the pursuing ships.

"Captain, the attacking force has been wiped out. Should we continue?"

The bespectacled pirate ran onto the open deck of the warship, looking anxious.

"Of course we want it, but we need to adjust the attack distance."

Wang Zhi was deep in thought, completely unaware that the pirates were getting too close to his eyes.

The bespectacled pirate suddenly made his move.
