Chapter 744 Not Based on Strength

...

"Idiot! How can I possibly beat a monster like Barrett! I'm not a fool! I hope they can hold out for a few more minutes!"

Bucky sold a boatload of his men without any burden, and as he spoke, he and Asan tiptoed towards the emergency boat.

"Huh?"

"Hahaha, Uncle Buggy! Are you trying to escape?"

Captain Gol, who was standing in front of Buggy, gave a friendly smile.

"Ah! The Terror Chief, oh no, it's the Honorable Lord Gul!"

Buggy was so frightened that his body broke into pieces and he fell on the deck. He looked back and found that his capable men were lying all over the deck, foaming at the mouth, rolling their eyes and passed out.

"Nani, so fast?"

Buggy and Asan both showed surprised expressions.

"Aren't you going to have a big fight with us? Why are you running away before you even start?"

Ger asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, how dare I fight with you guys? It's just a joke. I don't know what the three of you suddenly come to visit me for. As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything!"

Bucky looked up at the two big men behind Gel, and immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy without any image.

"Ah! Isn't this Brother Barrett? What a coincidence that I meet you here!"

Seeing Gel touching his chin and falling into deep thought, obviously considering whether to save his own life, Bucky's desire to survive was overflowing, and he quickly tried to get close to Barrett.

"It's been a long time. You still remember me, right? I'm Buggy! We were on Captain Roger's ship together before. For the sake of our former companions, please help me talk to Lord Gol and ask him to spare my life!"

"Also, there is me..."

The third brother tugged at the corner of Bucky's clothes and added humbly.

Barrett just looked down at Bucky and said to Captain Gill with a grin.

"Haha, Captain, this guy is a Devil Fruit user. According to convention, he should be killed, right? Since we fought on the same ship in the past, let me give him a ride!"

“Ahhhhh! No!”

Bucky was so scared when he heard that that he squealed like a pig and cried bitterly together with Mr. 3.

"It's over! Ah San, it looks like we're doomed this time. They're going to hunt down Devil Fruit users! You're also a Parahuman Devil Fruit user."

"Bucky, don't say that!"

Gel was also amused by these two funny guys and felt it would be a pity to kill them directly.

"Do you want to live?"

"I do! Of course I do! Don't kill me! You can ask me to do anything!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Hearing the hope, Buggy and Mr.3 answered without hesitation.

"Huh? Are you really willing to do anything?"

Ger asked with a smile.

"Yes! You can even let me lick your shoes clean!"

Buggy crawled to Gel's feet without any shame and hugged his feet. The third brother was not to be outdone and quickly hugged the other one.

"Shut up! All of you! Stand up and speak."

Gur hurriedly called a stop. It must be said that Bucky was definitely a special talent. Although he was just a humble clown most of the time, people like him could make a career no matter what era or environment he was in.

“Hey, Bucky.”

"Well? Lord Gel, you have something to say. I am all ears."

Captain Gul, who had made up his mind, suddenly looked kind, which made Bucky a little uncomfortable.

Gel sat down on the wine barrel beside him and spoke earnestly.

"I say, Bucky, do you really want to be a clown who is looked down upon by others for the rest of your life?"

"Hehehe, Lord Gur, you are joking. For someone like me, it is already great to be able to survive on the sea. I don't care whether others look down on me or not. What's more, I am Buggy the Clown."

Bucky rubbed his hands together and spoke politely.

"Really? We just ran into Shanks in Marineford."

Gel's clueless words made Bucky's smiling face freeze.

"I see, is that bastard Shanks joining in the fun too?"

"I heard that you grew up together on Roger's ship and were brothers who had risked their lives for each other. Shanks said that he had invited you to be his vice-captain, but you refused."

Ger continued.

"Who is he a brother to? I have nothing but hatred for that bastard who made me a landlubber, lost my treasure map, and lost my dream!"

Buggy felt inexplicably angry when he thought of Shanks.

"Could it be that he ruined your good deeds, Master Geer? I really have nothing to do with him anymore."

Buggy thought about it and cursed himself. It must be because of that bastard Shanks again. Every time he got involved with that bastard, he would get into trouble.

"We didn't get along very well, but we didn't have any grudges against each other. Besides, even if he really offended me, I wouldn't just take revenge on someone I knew well, so you don't have to worry."

"Ah! Really? That's good, that's good, hehehe."

Before Bucky could breathe a sigh of relief, Gel continued.

"Baki, you don't dislike him because he caused you to eat the Fracture Fruit and lose the treasure map, right?"

"what?"

Bucky was obviously stunned and thought to himself, could you please stop asking about other people's private affairs!

“Actually, I’m just curious.”

Ger asked with a smile.

"Isn't that guy the most respected junior by Roger? He also inherited the captain's hat. And since he has chosen to embark on the path of pirates, shouldn't he inherit Roger's will and work hard to become the new generation of Pirate King?"

"Why, even though he has become one of the Five Pirate Emperors, he has not followed Roger's instructions to find the final island of Raftel and resolve Roger's biggest knot before his death. Instead, he spends all day drinking and having fun with some minor characters, playing the boring game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, or wandering around and meddling in other people's affairs? I really want to know what these pirates are thinking. Can you help me solve this puzzle?"

Bucky lowered his head, his fingers digging into the deck, his pupils trembling. Gel's casual remark aroused the hatred that had been buried in the deepest part of his heart for so many years.

Mr.3 frowned in confusion. He found that even with his extraordinary intelligence, he could not understand what Lord Gel wanted to do.

Bucky suddenly raised his head and met Captain Gul's gaze and shouted.

"That naive guy! That bastard who failed Captain Roger's expectations! He doesn't even know what a pirate is! He doesn't deserve to be called a pirate!"

Gel's mouth corners raised. At this moment, with this momentum, he is worthy of being the only man who can become one of the Four Emperors "not based on strength"!

God Buggy awakens!
