Chapter 317

Banquets are an indispensable social place in the lives of all pirates. Sometimes, even if there are no women, a pirate ship cannot be without a banquet. A pirate group without a banquet is incomplete.

The Joker Pirates swaggered in and out of this place, and started a grand welcome banquet on the ship, right above the ruins of the previous battle, next to the scraps of the navy ships and the bodies of the navy personnel.

The prisoners who escaped from the underwater prison, although their combat effectiveness was uneven, were loyal and impressed by the personality charm of Buggy the Clown. They were willing to go through fire and water for this new boss, and they could still help out even if they did not participate in the battle.

Move the ingredients and drinks needed for this banquet from the cabin. If there is not enough, this group of brothers will jump into the sea and swim to the navy's abandoned ship to salvage useful things from the bottom of the sea.

If the brothers who go to sea are not careful, they will bump into the bodies of the navy that have not sunk to the bottom. It can only be said that people's joys and sorrows are not connected. Although they are all human beings, they have different positions. Life and death can only be blamed on some people's bad luck.

The banquet that has been prepared for a long time officially began. The arrogant clown Buggy sat on the main seat of the high platform, filled the big wine glass in his hand and raised it high, starting a performance to win people's hearts: "This navy wine smells good. You can drink this kind of wine every day with me in the future. I, the clown Buggy, will definitely lead you to conquer this sea."

After saying that, he drank the liquid in the wine glass. The owner on the ship began to drink. Other cadres and brothers responded one after another, enjoying the beautiful vision with the boss. Douglas Barrett and Kozuki Momonosuke were infected by this atmosphere and drank like the people next to them.

The Joker Pirates don't have many rules. As long as Master Buggy takes the first sip of wine and starts eating, the others don't have to be restrained and can do whatever they want. They can drink, play rock-paper-scissors, eat meat, and have sex, etc. As long as they are on this ship, there are no taboos.

It was the first time for Kozuki Momonosuke to drink. When Madam Toki was still there, she was very strict with boys. He was still a minor and his mother would never let him drink. But on this ship filled with a free atmosphere, no one cared whether a minor was suitable for drinking. They all formed gangs and did their own things.

He took a big sip of wine, but he just felt that this liquid was hard to drink. It was better to drink water than this thing. However, he didn't feel drunk for the first time. Maybe it was related to the devil fruit in his body, or he was born with a physique of alcoholism. At a young age, he could at least drink a hundred cups without getting drunk.

The boy looked at the strong man sitting in the main seat with the corner of his eyes. The name of Buggy the Clown had never been mentioned by his father Kozuki Oden, but the Roger Pirates were really talented. Unfortunately, most of the crew members disappeared at sea after the disbandment, as if they were hiding from something.

Before leaving Wano Country, Kozuki Momonosuke had a general understanding of the maritime situation through newspaper information over the years. The second half of the Grand Line belonged to the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts, Charlotte Linlin, Red-haired Shanks, and Whitebeard Edward Newgate. For the Kozuki family, two of the Four Emperors could have some relationship.

However, although Red-haired Shanks was a member of the Roger Pirates, his friendship with Kozuki Oden could not be compared with that of the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, the Moby Dick was the place where Kozuki Momonosuke was born. It was understandable and the best choice for the boy to go out to sea to find his adoptive father for help as soon as possible.

But the plan did not change quickly. Kozuki Momonosuke only stayed in Punk Hazard for half a year. When he received information from the outside, he knew that the situation had completely changed. The Whitebeard Pirates were annihilated, which was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the boy.

The appearance of Buggy the Clown today rekindled the boy's hope of restoring his country. It seems that this bad adult attaches great importance to him. As long as he is valuable in the eyes of the other party, he will not be easily abandoned. The two sides have unequal negotiation qualifications, and the strength shown by Mr. Buggy may be able to compete with Kaido, the Beast.

"How should I start? Others can't go to war with a powerful Four Emperors just because of a few words from me. This is too unrealistic."

When the boy thought of this depressed point, he couldn't help but pour a lot of wine into his stomach. At first, he hated the taste of wine, but after drinking it a few times, he probably fell in love with it. Kozuki Momonosuke also wanted to experience the pleasure of being drunk.

The lonely boy was drinking alone in the corner. Douglas Barrett, who shared the same suffering with him, waited for a long time and saw that no one paid attention to him. This man took the initiative to come to the bed of the clown Buggy.

The clown Buggy sat on a high seat and looked down at him, which made Barrett frown. However, considering that he could not beat the other party, the man still endured the frustration in his heart. He wanted toTo become stronger, you have to take a new step.

The strong man took out a box from his arms. The valuables in it were Douglas Barrett's pledge to join the group tonight. He threw the box to Buggy the Clown casually and made a request straight to the point: "You have been chasing me for so long just to want this. I will give it to you tonight, but you have to agree to one request of mine."

Catching the coveted thing with his right hand, Buggy the Clown used the power of the devil fruit, and the splitting effect just right split the box from the physical level, revealing the true appearance of the things inside, which was a permanent record pointer that recorded the location of a certain island.

Buggy the Clown checked it on his hand, and then kept playing with the pointer in his hand and replied: "Barrett, you gave me such a big gift, I can meet any request you make."

Barrett knew that he had made the right bet, so he said what he thought directly without being pretentious: "I want to join your pirate group, just like when I joined Roger's pirate group, I want to challenge you constantly, surpass myself and continue to become stronger in the process, I hope that what Pirate King Roger has never done, I can achieve in you."

Douglas Barrett, who is naturally aggressive, has only muscles in his mind and can only fight. Fighting has been integrated into his life. If he stops getting stronger, it would be worse than death for him. Even though he has been imprisoned in the Undersea Prison for more than 20 years, his competitive heart has not been wiped out.

But he was lucky. After escaping from the Undersea Prison, he heard about the death of Whitebeard, but not long after that, Buggy the Clown completed the location through some means.

After finding him, he implemented a three-step strategy: treat, behead, and keep him as a dog. The first step was to treat Barrett, but he didn't buy it; the second step was to behead the clown Buggy, who showed his overwhelming strength. It was only a matter of time before he really wanted to kill Barrett; the third step was to keep him as a dog, which was completed naturally.

Buggy, who was good at figuring out people's hearts, really knew this simple-minded person too well, and Barrett's surrender was also within the man's expectations.
