Chapter 52 Special - Test from Uncle

"I didn't expect the captain to be so powerful."

"Yeah, yeah, that fishman Aaron couldn't even take a single attack from the captain."

A party was being held on a pirate ship flying the red-nosed pirate flag.

This is Buggy who just helped Nami defeat Arlong. Now they are heading towards the Grand Line.

"Hahaha, guys, everything will be fine as long as I, Captain Buggy, am here."

Buggy became arrogant after being told off by his younger brother. Although it was arrogant, Buggy now did have the ability to be so arrogant.

"Long Live Captain Buggy"

"Captain Buggy is the strongest"

……

Voices praising Bucky rang out one after another.

"Who are you?"

Kabaki said as he looked at the person who was eating meat in big mouthfuls.

When did this guy come on their ship?

I saw a man eating meat with big mouthfuls of meat wearing a hat with a smiling face on the left and a crying face on the right.

She also wore a black jade pendant that looked like a magatama around her neck.

This is the current captain of the second squad of the Whitebeard Pirates - Fire Fist Ace

"Sorry, sorry, because the food on your ship smells so good"

When Ace heard what Kabachi said, he immediately bowed and apologized.

Ace, who has learned politeness since childhood, will sincerely apologize no matter what the circumstances as long as he is wrong.

"It's okay, eat it. I, Captain Buggy, don't mind this little bit of food."

Buggy waved his hand without even looking at Ace.

The other members of Buggy's pirate group didn't say anything after hearing what Buggy said.

They are different now than in the original work. Now they are the Seven Warlords of the Sea Pirate Group, one of the three major forces in this ocean.

He does have some courage, and Ace apologized so politely just now.

……

Soon the banquet of the Buggy Pirates was over.

“Thank you very much for asking for dinner”

After eating and drinking his fill, Ace thanked the other members of Buggy's pirate group again.

"it's okay no problem"

The other crew members of Buggy Pirates waved their hands to indicate that they didn't care.

Because they had become familiar with Ace during the banquet just now, they also knew that Ace was the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Wait a minute, little devil"

Buggy knew Ace was leaving so he planned to see him off, but when Buggy turned around he saw the black magatama pendant hanging around Ace's neck.

He immediately felt unwell because the black jade pendant around Ace's neck was exactly the same as the white jade pendant that Lingtian had given to Yamato before.

Ace turned around and looked a little confused when he heard what Buggy said.

"Where did you get the black jade pendant on your neck?"

Bucky stared at Ash.

He just hoped that Ace's jade pendant was picked up.

As long as Ace's jade pendant was picked up, then I have a way to take it apart from the owner of the jade pendant. As for the method, you can think of anything.

He didn't want anyone to kidnap Yamato so easily.

After so many years in Wano Country, Buggy has long regarded Yamato as his own daughter.

He can't let others take away his own cabbage like this. Even if the jade pendant really belongs to Ace, he has to give this boy a try.

"this one?"

Ace pointed at the jade pendant on his neck and said

“It was with me when I was born.”

Ace tells the truth

Before Ace was born, Ling Tian gave this black jade pendant to Garp and asked Garp to give it to Ace in the future.

At the time, Garp thought it was a gift from Roger's crew to Ace, so he didn't think much of it.

"Wait a minute kid"

“You can’t leave now”

Buggy grabbed Ace.

"Mochi, now go at full speed and head to the nearest island immediately"

Buggy grabbed Ace and regardless of how Ace struggled, he immediately told Mochi to drive to the nearest island.

Ace felt a little strange when he saw Buggy holding him. It seemed like this was the first time they met.

What does he want to do?

Soon the Buggy pirate ship arrived at an uninhabited island.

"Immortal"

Buggy threw Ace off the island, and his muscles immediately swelled up.

"Hey, hey, hey, Captain Buggy, are you serious?"

Kabachi was shocked when he saw Baki's muscular form.

Even when Buggy dealt with Arlong before, he did not use the power of Grace Sun, but only used the power of Armament Haki.

“It seems so.”

Mochi swallowed his saliva when he saw Buggy like this.

Although they knew that Buggy had this form, it was the first time they saw Buggy fight in this form.

"What exactly is going on?"

Ace was somewhat puzzled as to why Buggy inexplicably abandoned him on an uninhabited island.

How come the captain of the Buggy Pirates, who were just treating him as brothers, now looks like he wants to kill him?

“Cut the nonsense”

Buggy directly condensed a fireball and threw it at Ace.

But Ace stood there without moving.

After the fireball exploded, Ace was completely unharmed.

As the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Ace is not afraid of fire at all, unless Buggy's flame is much hotter than his own.

Because the party lasted until morning yesterday, the temperature of Bucky's flame is not very high now.

"I don't know what's going on, but if you want to fight, I'm always here to fight you."

Ace formed his hands into pistol shapes, and fired flaming bullets at Buggy.

Buggy dodged Ace's musket by breaking into pieces.

"Dual fruit ability user?"

Ace was also surprised to see Buggy using the power of a fruit again.

But Buggy ignored Ace's shock. If anyone dared to kidnap his little girl, he would give him a good beating.

The fist covered with Armament Haki hit Ace's stomach directly.

Ace was careless and was blasted away by Buggy.

He didn't expect that someone would have Armament Haki in the first half of the Grand Line.

Although he knew that Buggy was one of the Shichibukai, not all of the Shichibukai were domineering.

For example, Gekko Moriah is not domineering, and he thought Buggy is not domineering either.

"What's wrong? Is this all you have?"

Buggy immediately became angry when he saw Ace fall down so quickly.

You still want to be my Yamato's fiancé?

The current Yamato is much stronger than the original one. With the training of Kaido and Buggy, the current Yamato is almost as strong as the vice-captain of the emperor.

So no matter what, Ace must have more powerful strength.

Otherwise, how can we protect Yamato in the future?

"fire punch"

Ace didn't say anything, but just threw a flaming fist at Buggy.

"Is that the only extent?"

"Sun Realm"

Bucky simply used his finger to draw a mirror with flames burning in front of him.

This mirror directly swallowed Ace's fire fist.

This is a defensive move that Buggy invented after he was favored.

In the original work, Escanor didn't need this kind of defensive move because he was too arrogant.

However, it is different for Buggy, who has fought Kaido many times in Wano Country. In order to prevent Kaido, Buggy developed such a defensive move.

The Realm of the Sun can directly devour any fire-type moves, even Kaido's heat breath.

Even if it is an attack other than fire, the Sun Realm can block most of the damage.

Ace also discovered that Buggy's ability had some ability to suppress his own flames.

However, Ace, who mainly relied on the power of the devil fruit to fight, had no other options.

"Firefly·Fire Daruma"

Ace emitted countless sparks like fireflies around Buggy.

"boom……"

These sparks like fireflies exploded instantly around Bucky, raising a large amount of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Bucky was seen standing there unharmed.

After many competitions with Kaido in Wano Country, although Buggy's physical body is not as good as Kaido's, he is also one of the world's top players.

"impossible"

Ace was shocked to see Buggy was unharmed.

His attack couldn't even leave a scratch on Buggy.

"hateful"

"Flame Ring - Great Flame Emperor"

Ace created several huge spirals of flames and gathered them into a fireball similar to the sun and threw it at Buggy.

"Holy Sword Escanor"

Buggy slowly swung his right hand forward in a straight line like a knife.

"boom……"

The Great Flame Emperor used by Ace was directly split in half by Buggy, and not only that, Ace was also split in half by this move.

However, since Buggy is not covered with Armament Haki, Ace, who is a natural type, has no problem.

"My Great Emperor Yan was so easily..."

Ace, who had regrouped, looked at the crack on the ground created by Buggy's holy sword Escanor in disbelief.

Buggy’s strength is almost comparable to that of his father.

When Buggy saw that this was Ace's strongest strength, he walked forward, covered his hands with armed color domineering, and punched Ace in the face.

"Captain Buggy"

Kabachi and Mochi were also shocked when they saw Buggy punch Ace in the face.

They didn't know why their captain did this.

If Buggy knew what they were thinking, he would definitely curse.

How could you possibly understand the feeling of having your own cabbage taken away by others?

Kabachi, Mochi and the members of Buggy's pirate group just watched as Buggy punched Ace one by one.

However, Buggy was careful about the size of the attack and did not use too much force.

Bucky kept beating him like this until noon when he finally stopped.

Because at noon the power of the Grace and Sun is greatly enhanced.

It would be bad if I killed Ace accidentally.

When the time comes, I will have to fight him to the death.

"Let's take him inside to recover."

"Remember to use the best medicinal herbs to heal his wounds."

Buggy looked at Ace lying on the ground bleeding and ordered the men of Buggy Pirates to carry Ace inside to recuperate.

Those who were closer to Ace immediately hurriedly carried Ace in.

"Be careful not to hurt him"

When Buggy saw how flustered they were, he immediately punched those pirates on the head.

"It was you who hurt him."

The pirate who got beaten up by Buggy thought to himself.

But they dared not say it out loud.

"Captain Buggy. Why did you beat up Ace?"

Kabachi looked at Ace who was carried in with some confusion.

"Yes, yes, that's the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Mochi also came to Buggy and spoke.

Li Ji, who was next to Mochi, also yelled a few words to express his incomprehension.

"You know nothing, that guy actually tried to kidnap my Captain Buggy's daughter"

“How could I possibly let him do what he wants?”

When Bucky heard what Kabachi said, he immediately got angry.

"daughter?"

Kabachi and Mochi's eyeballs popped out of their eyes when they heard Buggy's words in shock.

Does their captain have a daughter?

So who is their captain's wife?

Kabachi and Mochi thought to themselves.

But Buggy doesn't care what Kabachi and Mochi are thinking.

"Damn you, you kidnapped my lovely Yamato!"

Bucky bit a towel and cried.

"But he is the captain of the second division of that old man Whitebeard, so he should have a lot of berries."

"No, how can I use Yamato to get Berry?"

"But I beat up Ace, so I am more suitable to take care of Yamato than Kaido."

Kabachi and Mochi saw their captain biting the towel, crying and laughing at the same time, and they walked away silently.

……

Soon Ace woke up in the hospital ward of Buggy's pirate ship.

Buggy heard Ace wake up and come in to ask everyone else to get out.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Ace looked at Buggy who was sitting next to him with some confusion.

He thought Bucky would put him in jail after knocking him down.

What he didn't expect was that when he opened his eyes he saw himself in a ward.

And those pirates told him that it was Buggy who asked them to treat him.

"Little ghost, do you know where the jade pendant on your neck came from?"

Buggy did not answer Ace's question but spoke earnestly.

"this one?"

Ace said as he looked at the jade pendant around his neck.

"I heard from Yamato that it seems to be proof of her fiancé."

Ace looked at the jade pendant and recalled the time when he met Yamato in Wano Country before, Yamato told him about the jade pendant.

He also took out an identical white jade pendant and showed it to him.

Ace also made a promise with Yamato that he would marry Yamato the next time he came to Wano Country.

At that time, Yamato kept following him, and he had no choice but to promise Yamato that he would marry him the next time he went to Wano Country.

"Nani, you actually met Yamato."

Buggy was immediately shocked when he heard Ace say that he had met Yamato.

That guy Kaido actually let Ace escape from Wano Country.

No matter what, I have to beat Ace up.

When Buggy heard what Ace said, he immediately thought with dissatisfaction that Kaido was really irresponsible.

"Listen up, little devil"

Buggy pulled at the bandages wrapped around Ace.

As Buggy pulled the bandage, Ace cried out in pain.

However, Buggy ignored Ace's shouting and continued

"Ace, if you let Yamato get hurt in the future, I will never let you go."

"It's useless even if you are the captain of the second squad of the old man Whitebeard."

Buggy pulled Ace's bandage and started attacking.

Ace swallowed his saliva after listening to Buggy's words. He didn't expect that Buggy beat him up because of Yamato.

Before, when Kaido saw him in Wano Country, he transformed into a beast form and chased after him, breathing heavily.

In the end, if Yamato hadn't stopped Kaido, he would have been in great danger.

At that time, I was not yet a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and if I was caught by Kaido, I would be finished.

After Buggy had been attacking Ace, he didn't let him go until Ace repeatedly assured him that he would never let Yamato down.

After Ace recovered from his injuries, Buggy immediately transformed into a devil instructor and started training Ace.

Ace couldn't stand Buggy's training so he just ran away on his own boat.

Buggy saw Ace running away but didn't chase after him.

After all, the strong are never flowers in a greenhouse, so it would be better to let Ace go out and try his luck on his own.

After all, who would dare to touch his son-in-law in this ocean?

Behind Ace are two of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard and Kaido, as well as himself, a Shichibukai who is on par with the Four Emperors.
