One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 129: Just Watch!

And as the "Thor" followed the Moby Dick towards Kugal Island, at the Holy Land Mary Geoise, a meeting of the Five Elders with only one agenda was convened.

"You've all seen the reports in the World Economic Journal. Red-Nosed Buggy has not only announced his withdrawal from the Seven Warlords but has also killed two Warlord members. This is confirmed news. Unconfirmed news includes Crocodile's sudden departure to Water 7 to fight for the blueprints of the Ancient Weapon Pluton, Bartholomew Kuma's sudden announcement of his withdrawal from the Seven Warlords, and the collusion between 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe and the Whitebeard Pirates. I've said it long ago: such a pirate crew cannot be tolerated." As for Boa Sandersonia, the elder with the eight-shaped mustache who was speaking didn't even mention her, because everyone present knew that this Empress of Kuja was Red Nose's little sister-in-law.

"Now the Empress of Kuja has also moved her island into the Grand Line, the kind that is impossible to find without a Vivre Card. Tell me, what should we do?" the bald man holding a sword said with a tone of regret and anger.

"Everyone, I admit that I did not consider that Red-Nosed Buggy would make such a drastic act of resistance. But looking at it realistically, have we suffered any losses?" the blond man said, standing as straight as ever, his tone gentle and refined.

"What do you mean? Hasn't the trouble the Red Nose Pirates brought us been enough?" the elder with the eight-shaped mustache stared at the blond man and asked.

"He's talking about the Southwest Tunnel. That Southwest Tunnel built on the sea that ships can sail through. Speaking of which, ever since the implementation of the Seven Warlords system, we haven't actually gained much benefit from it. How much can those pirates spit out of what they've eaten? The purpose of us raising these dogs was just to make those countries that haven't joined the alliance understand the benefits of joining. Speaking of which, relying on vicious dogs to intimidate is ultimately not as effective as binding them with interests to make them willing. With the Northeast and Southwest tunnels, those countries that were once very spirited are probably not so spirited anymore. In terms of benefits, even though the Red Nose Pirates have caused trouble for us, we are still the ones who have profited. Don't forget, the value of the two tunnels is simply not something a few dogs can compare to," the elder with the three-pronged beard analyzed very realistically.

"But we can't let him run rampant anymore. Especially, we can't let him get a hot head and go digging another tunnel," the elder with the full beard said, resting his chin on his hand.

"That's for sure. Aren't we discussing right now how to restrain the Red Nose Pirates?" the blond man took the initiative to step forward and ease the atmosphere.

"Restraining them will be very difficult. According to the news from CP0, the Red Nose Pirates basically crushed the Donquixote Family in battle. Who would have thought that a pirate crew with just ten people and two animals would be so powerful as to directly crush the pirate crew of another Warlord? If the members of the Red Nose Pirates continue to increase, I'm afraid it won't be long before they can challenge the Four Emperors. It's not easy to restrain them!" the elder with the three-pronged beard said thoughtfully.

"Yes, especially after killing Gecko Moria and Donquixote Doflamingo, Red-Nosed Buggy has definitely obtained the abilities of these two Warlords. The price to pay for a direct annihilation would probably be unbearable," the bald man holding the sword sighed.

"It is indeed unbearable. But we don't need to bear it. Don't forget that there are conflicts between pirates as well. A guy like Red-Nosed Buggy, who loves to be in the limelight, will sooner or later clash with the Four Emperors of the New World. I think we just need to raise their bounties, and let the rest take its natural course," the elder with the full beard said very calmly.

"Are we just going to let that guy go like that?" the elder with the eight-shaped mustache asked, very unwilling.

"Profit is the standard that decides everything. When we set this foundation back then, you did not object. Is there anything more important right now than controlling the Northeast and Southwest tunnels? There isn't, right?" the blond man seized the opportunity and stood up to speak.

"I don't care anymore. I just hope you all don't regret it," seeing that the others were silent, the elder with the eight-shaped mustache said with great helplessness.

"Then let's notify the people below to issue new bounties for the members of the Red Nose Pirates."

Just as the blond man finished speaking and was about to call someone, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out.

"Reporting to Your Excellencies! In the Spring Sea of the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, the Red Nose Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates have made contact. Red Nose and Whitebeard had a brief confrontation from a distance, and the result was a draw. According to the intelligence from our agents, the Red Nose Pirates have challenged the Whitebeard Pirates to a battle. The two great pirate crews are now on their way to Kugal Island." After speaking, the messenger stood ramrod straight at the palace entrance, awaiting the Five Elders' reply.

"Understood. Go and tell Sengoku that as long as the pirates fighting amongst themselves doesn't harm civilians, let them be. As for other matters, let him handle them as he sees fit. You may leave," after exchanging a look, the blond man issued the order on behalf of the Five Elders.

"It seems that if we want to issue new bounties, we'll have to wait until after this great battle. What do you all think is Red-Nosed Buggy's purpose in so impatiently challenging the Whitebeard Pirates?" the elder with the three-pronged beard asked with great interest.

"That is a man who does things with great purpose. I don't believe his actions are blind. This is definitely not a case of a hot head wanting to challenge the strongest. There must be some deeper reason," the elder with the eight-shaped mustache was very wary of the Red Nose Pirates.

"That man indeed does things with a strong sense of purpose, and there are rarely any obvious flaws," the elder with the full beard was clearly thinking of the recent Warlord attack incident and the opening of the Southwest Tunnel.

According to the full-bearded elder's thinking, if he didn't want to be a Warlord anymore, he wouldn't even think about opening the tunnel. The reason he still went ahead and opened the tunnel before he was done was probably to divert the World Government's attention and military strength, so as to reduce the pressure on himself.

If Buggy knew what the full-bearded elder was thinking, he would probably have to give him a thumbs-up. Simply fulfilling a promise had been interpreted by him as a meticulous and flawless plan. He would definitely feel bad if he didn't give him a thumbs-up.

"The reason will be known sooner or later. Compared to the reason, let's pay close attention to this great battle. Daring to challenge and fighting Whitebeard to a draw in a brief confrontation, Red-Nosed Buggy's strength probably needs to be re-evaluated. This battle might change many things," rubbing his chin, the blond man said meaningfully.

"Do you think Whitebeard will lose? The World's Strongest Man is not just a title. To be able to reign over the New World for more than a decade, he's not that simple. Just watch."
