Death of Arlong and 100 million berries

"They're just three, beat them up! " A fish man shouted.

Then the others began to run towards the three men.Seeing his reckless men, Arlong did not stop them. He wanted to test the opponent's strength, and secretly took out a sword with serrations on each side.

"Let's get ahead! " Reply Galand.

"I happen to want to test my new strength hehehe"

But just as Galand was about to step up, a hand stretched out and tried to stop him.

"There is no need to use it on a brat like them, facing a small opponent is a haoshoku task"

With a cruel smile, the buggy stepped slowly against the dozens of burly fish-men. Without fear, the buggy let out a deep blue aura from all over his body. As before, every opponent that was hit instantly lost their consciousness. They fall like dry leaves in the dry season.

*Bugh.. bugh....

Cold sweat dripped from Arlong's forehead, watching all his men fall for no reason.

'Damn, why would a monster like him come to East Blue? ' at this moment Arlong began to panic.

"You're their captain? as captain, what about a duel? you are also from the grand line right? I hope you can help relieve the stress hehehehe" Buggy laughed when he saw Arlong's bitter expression.

"Don't bend your ugly face, you'll make the kids cry "bugs on.

Hearing the mockery of the opponent in front of him, the fear in Arlong's heart turned into anger. Now that the self-esteem of the fish man was at stake, how could he be afraid?

"Enough with that fucking red-nose shit! " reply Arlong.

"Who do you call the red nose of the saw nose" Buggy said, annoyed as he stomped his feet against the ground in annoyance.

"At first I wanted to play a little bit, but since you can't wait to die then..... "

Before the sentence was finished, Buggy disappeared from there and appeared behind Arlong. And instantly gave a busoshoku no haki-coated punch to Arlong's stomach from behind.

*jleebb

(gehem, the author does not know sfx is suitable)

Buggy's hand pierced through Arlong's body easily. Blood kept dripping with large amounts.

Arlong, who was late to react, felt a severe pain in his stomach in shock. After realizing that he had been so badly injured, he only realized the difference in strength levels between the two captains.

'Damn, how long have I left the grand Line? since when was someone as strong as him able to appear in this weakest sea? '

With question marks and thousands of regrets, Arlong lost his life in front of the humans he had been terrorizing.

*bugh

Arlong's huge body fell to the ground under the gazes of the villagers. At this time the people rejoiced in their hearts, yet they did not dare to show it because there was still a group of pirates that were even stronger and terrifying than the group

"Hhmm... Is this how Sakazuki felt when he killed Ace? " Buggy mumbles softly.

"Good job captain" Two of his comrades came and nodded at Buggy.

Then Buggy looked at the silent citizens.

"What's? is this how you welcome the person who helps you? " cried Buggy with a big smile.

At once the citizens who heard were cheering, and that night a large banquet was held. Thanks to Buggy, their village is free from the distraction of human pirate fish. The residents were very grateful to him and gave him food and lots of goods for the ship supplies.

***********

"Here, you can stay until the day of your departure. Please do not hesitate to ask us if you need anything" said the middle-aged man known as Gen-san

"Gen-san, there's no need to bother. We don't want to bother you more than this, thank you very much for your help" Buggy said with a friendly smile.

"Yes, then I'll go home first.... Ah Bellemere, you're here" when Gen-san turned around, a woman named Bellemere was standing behind him.

"good afternoon Gen-san" said Bellemere.

"Ouh, good afternoon bellmere. What was? you lookingfor me? " ask Gen-san.

"No, I want to talk to the captain" Bellemere replied.

"Uh, well then I'll go home first" after saying that Gen-san left.

Meanwhile, Buggy who was still in the doorway gave way so that Bellemere could enter and then he closed the door.

In the living room, two people had been waiting near the wooden chair. Buggy sat in the middle while his two colleagues stood to his left and right. Then Bellemere sat down, watching them waiting for him to speak, he said

"Please let me join! " while pressing his forehead against the table, Bellemere pleaded.

"At the banquet last night, I refused, didn't I? " Buggy shook his head while sighing.

"Please"

"I told you, just give us some oranges then you've been paying"

"How come? my life and my two children can't be exchanged for a few oranges! " shouted the bellmere while pressing the table.

"Our goal is to get to the top of the world, and you're too weak........

The death of a teammate was the last thing I wanted to see" Buggy replied with a serious look in his eyes.

"And you're even older than Galland who is the oldest member of our group, training you would be too troublesome even if I gave you the devil's fruit. I better use the resources to train younger and potentially more members" Buggy continued.

"Then I'll join in"

Suddenly a childish voice appeared.

"Mommy!" hearing that voice made Bellemere shocked.

"I'm young, and I'm good at making maps. I can be your ship's navigator, please let me pay our debts! " irrespective of the bellmere, Nami looked at Buggy.

"Heh, you're too young. I have no interest in raising children

But tell you what... collect 100 million berries, I'll give you 10 years.And you also have to make a map of the whole East blue, too, At that time I'll pick you up if you make it"

'This kid will be useful in the future' Buggy squinted his eyes.

"Alright, I'll raise a lot of money, so don't pull your promise" with a triumphant smile nami puffed up her 'chest'.

"Hehehehe, do you intend to take a promise to the pirates? hahahaha it doesn't matter, let's see how capable you are" Buggy laughed at the Orange-haired boy's words in front of him.

********

After Nami left, Bellemere looked at the red-nosed man in front of her.

"Why..... Why did you allow the child? " ask bellmere.

"Why not? he is a good boy and has little potential, at least he will be far beyond you in the future hahahaha"

"ouh, and for those 100 million berries, I have no intention of taking them. The money is the result of his hard work, of course it will be his. And the reason why I made such a condition was to see his determination and ability, whether he could join us or not, it all depended on his ability"

"Well, if. if only he joined your group, please take good care of him" Bellemere once again bowed his head to Buggy.
