Chapter 220: Goa Kingdom Journey: Winning over Buggy

"At the last banquet, Captain Roger was not joking!"

Buggy vividly recalled the words spoken at the last banquet of Roger's pirate group.

"What?" Arthur asked curiously.

"My son will definitely be the one who finds the great treasure in the future." Bucky pinched his chin and imitated Roger's behavior at that time:

"That's what the captain said at the time!"

Arthur observed Buggy's words and actions, and he had great respect for Roger, more than for Shanks.

"You like Roger very much, Bucky." Arthur teased again:

"Every word is full of respect, even though it's careless."

The shadow of the ship under the setting sun overlaps on the sparkling sea.

Warming up Cooper who was sleeping lightly behind Arthur.

“Well… of course, asshole!” Bucky’s eyes dodged and he was stunned for a moment.

Not wanting to expose his affection for Roger, he added:

"When we were on the ship, Arthur, you were so extremely withdrawn that everyone was a little afraid of you, you know?"

"If you don't do anything to offend me, why are you afraid of me?" Arthur stroked Cooper's head and responded:

"You see, Cooper is never afraid of me. This is the purest friendship."

"Different in nature! Humans are much more complicated than eagles, Arthur." Buggy retorted, turning around to look at Robin who was training on the deck:

"Forget it. I won't tell you about the past. Who is this girl?"

Seeing that Bucky didn't know, Arthur said to him:

"Devil's son, Nico Robin."

It had only been about two weeks since the O'Hara incident.

Robin's bounty is naturally not distributed anywhere in the world.

It is understandable that Pakistan, who is hiding on the border of the East China Sea, doesn't know.

“What!!” Buggy was so scared that he retreated tactically and stared at Robin:

"She's the little girl with a bounty of nearly 8 million!"

"..." Robin was so exhausted from training that he was out of breath and ignored Bucky's surprise.

Next to Arthur, she felt safer than ever before.

Nothing to worry about.

"What about you, Bucky, what have you achieved in the East China Sea?" Arthur asked him.

Buggy held the back of his head with a look of shame on his face and said:

"There was a traveling circus, haha... but it was gone yesterday."

"Where are the members under your command?"

When Bucky heard Arthur asking about his situation, he lowered his head and looked dejected:

"He was executed. He went to plunder the rich nobles of the Kingdom of Goa, but he was caught by the army that arrived."

"Hehe~" In the sunset, Arthur heard such things and laughed at him in amusement.

“Arthur, stop laughing at me…!” Buggy clenched his fists and yelled at him:

"I'm not a monster as strong as you guys... and my talent isn't even as good as Shanks'!"

Bucky stared at Arthur's cheek and his words suddenly stopped.

Apart from the scar on his left eye, his face looks particularly handsome under the setting sun.

Like a senior listening carefully to his complaints about his experiences and caring about his deeds.

"And I have nothing. Even my best skill, swimming, has been taken away from me!"

Bucky rarely showed such an embarrassing look to outsiders.

Maybe it was only in front of Arthur that he suddenly spoke out and shared his true feelings.

Looks a bit emo.

"Bucky, I have something special to talk to you about." Arthur stopped his emo and looked towards the town dock where he was about to arrive:

"Do you want to follow me and make trouble in this world?"

"Hey! Me? Stop kidding!" Bucky was surprised.

"Bucky, stop being decadent and drifting. Go help me create a guild."

"Me??! Wait, Arthur, stop talking to yourself!"

"You are the boss of the guild in public, but I am the one in charge in secret."

Buggy was shocked at first, but then thought it wasn’t a bad deal!

He held his chin in his hands. If he had Arthur as a solid backer...

Maybe we can rely on him to find Captain Roger's treasure.

Maybe he'll become the Pirate King in the end...

All benefits and no harm!

"Arthur, what about the funding issue?" Baki asked, tacitly accepting it.

Seeing that Bucky was so tactful, Arthur looked at him:

"John hid the entire Rocks Pirates' treasure in the sea, and I happen to know where the key to find that treasure is."

“John!” Bucky was shocked again: “Didn’t you kill him?”

"But that thing is somewhere in the ocean. It's not dead. Treasure never dies, Bucky."

“Where?” Bucky frowned and became serious.

Arthur jumped off the balcony, patted Bucky on the shoulder, walked to the side of the ship, and looked at the evil town that was about to arrive:

"We'll talk about this later. I'll force you to develop a devil fruit later, Buggy."

Cooper hurried to the rudder and turned the boat around.

"Huh?" Bucky questioned.

The Shattered Fruit looked like a sewer to him.

Apart from splitting its own limbs, what other purpose does it have?

Suddenly, he yelled at Arthur again: "What decision did you make without authorization? I haven't agreed to it yet."

Boom! There was a slight spatial vibration.

He saw a huge transparent cage door appearing behind Arthur.

The soul cage appeared, and the souls working on the ship returned inside.

Bucky was stunned: "What kind of ability is this..."

"We're almost there, Bucky, that town is full of thugs."

"By the way, Arthur! Have you ever met Shanks?" Buggy grabbed the sail rope and asked Arthur beside him:

"That guy has become very famous recently. I'm really envious of him."

"I have seen him. I slashed him and his companions a few times."

Arthur responded as he signaled for Bucky to reef the sails.

"Really? It was just a few cuts. Wait, what did you say? Is Shanks okay?"

"Why don't you just ask him yourself when you meet him?"

The Arctic Ice Dragon No. 1 has just docked.

Arthur jumped into the dock and smelled a foul odor.

The ground was covered with black mud, and there were thugs gathered on the street smoking, giving malicious looks.

Most of them had pistols on their waists and were watching Arthur and his group coming ashore.

"Ga!" At the entrance of the evil town, a white goose covered in black mud spread its wings and blocked Arthur's steps.

It screamed fiercely, as if it was robbing someone.

But the next moment, Arthur grabbed the long neck and held it in his hand, handing it to Cooper behind him:

"Let it learn about itself again, Cooper."

The village bully was so hungry that he was sweating coldly, and he stared at Cooper's huge body that was several times bigger than him with fear.

Cooper pressed it into the black mud with one claw, exerting pressure and calling out, "Cooper!" (Your meat looks very tender!)

“Gah…!” (Wrong, Big Brother Eagle…!)

"Cooper!" (Then get out of the way!) Cooper kicked it away with his claw.

"..." Bucky was speechless: "Is this how you usually act, Arthur?"

“What else? I have to keep killing people to fit the image of me in your mind?” Arthur glanced at Bucky.

"What an abstraction! It's just a goose!" Bucky yelled.

Robin thought it was nothing and listened quietly to the surroundings.

"Go drink, Bucky, I'm dying of thirst."

"Cooper!" (I want fruit wine, a big barrel!)

Bucky watched Arthur and Cooper run towards the tavern with disdain on his face, and turned to look at Robin:

"Hey, little girl, how long have you been with this deranged lunatic?"

Robin was surprised when he heard this: "Two weeks. He was crazy when he killed people...but Arthur is usually very gentle. Are you okay?"

"Am I okay?! Gentle! He can be gentle, I swallowed the barrel of wine alive!"

"Go ahead, there's one next to the stairs at the entrance of the tavern." Robin pointed it out for him.

"But I didn't see it!"

"I want a sandwich, Arthur!" Robin ignored Barkin and ran towards the pub.

This unbelievable scene left Bucky confused.

"Are you so relaxed in private, Arthur?" he shouted, following in his footsteps:

"What's the name of the guild!? Where's the captain's son?!"
