The difficult part was just Buggy's ability to break apart! With his current haki, Moonlight couldn't kill him all at once, even if he wanted to!
"To fight us together, boy, you are truly underestimated. We are the top officers of the Buggy Pirate Group, which are different from those ants!"
Mohji suddenly grew angry when he saw Moonlight didn't even look at him. With a long whip, it struck his lion, Richie, fiercely. Richie cried out in pain, baring his teeth, and pounced toward Moonlight!
"Forget it."
Upon seeing this, Moonlight couldn't help but make a single slash, and then sheathed his sword!
"Crack! Click! Click!"
Suddenly, the sword energy, which looked like a crescent moon, divided into three sections and slashed out! After Moonlight sheathed his sword, Richie and Mohji, who had rushed over, had already been cut down! Blood flew wildly, and they passed out instantly! Killed with a single blow—in front of Moonlight, they were impossible to withstand!
"Mohji, Richie!"
"Hateful!"
Seeing this scene, Cabaji and Buggy couldn't help but yell, but in the face of Zoro and Luffy, they couldn't be careless and remained locked in battle!
"Killed with a single knife? As expected! You, leave this person to me. I just want to hone my sword skills!"
Upon seeing this, Zoro was secretly alarmed by Moonlight's strength, and then looked at Cabaji who had slashed over, his expression solemn. This was different from the weaklings he had killed before!
"This guy is strong; let me handle him!"
Luffy also faced Buggy. Buggy's ability to split apart was a headache, but Luffy had his own way! Only the capable could deal with the capable! Others could do nothing about Buggy, but Luffy had a way!
"Well, leave it to you. I will do the rest."
Hearing this, Moonlight shrugged, jumped off the boat, and looked at the large number of villagers who had rushed over. They had apparently met with the village chief, who had been gathering intelligence, and then felt the commotion and rushed over!
"The well-known Buggy Pirates were actually defeated like this?"
At this time, Nami, who had taken away all the treasures of the Buggy Pirates in one haul, walked out with a big bag and looked happy, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the astonishing scene before her. The Buggy Pirates were not insignificant; they were very famous in the East Blue. She didn't expect them to be defeated like this!
"They are!"
Then her eyes were drawn to the villagers rushing over, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"Stop!"
When the group of people rushed to the boat, the village chief suddenly stopped and halted everyone. He also looked at the scene on the boat with a bewildered expression, and couldn't help being surprised!
"What happened? Are they fighting among themselves?"
"No, it's not fighting among themselves. Those three shouldn't be from the Buggy Pirates!"
"My God, look! The animal trainer Mohji was defeated, his animal partner is dead, the officer Cabaji was also suppressed, and the captain, who was that young man who fought with him? He was also a Devil Fruit user! Huh? It's amazing that he can stretch his arm!"
"What happened?"
Not only the village chief, but all the villagers were surprised. They came with the determination to die, but they did not expect to see such a scene!
"Everyone stays where they are, and you are not allowed to take another step and disturb them."
In the face of all the villagers rushing over, Moonlight made a single sword strike! Suddenly, a crack several feet deep was cut out, and it lay between Moonlight and everyone! Moonlight said lightly, concise and to the point! He was too lazy to explain to them, and he would leave after the situation was resolved. He wanted to go to the Grand Line; how could he waste time in such a place!
"This is... unbelievable!"
"Split the earth with one sword?"
"So strong!"
Seeing the huge cracks in the ground in front of them, all the villagers were stunned. When had they ever seen this kind of power?! Compared with the man in front of him, the Buggy Pirates were weak!
"Who are you? What is your purpose? What are they doing?"
Upon seeing this, the village chief took a deep breath. Although he was afraid, he still looked at Moonlight and asked solemnly.
"Our purpose is the Buggy Pirates; it has nothing to do with you. So if you don't want to cause trouble, just stay here."
Moonlight said faintly.
"Village chief, it seems that he is right. You see, the Buggy Pirates have been dealt with!"
"Yes, the other two, seemingly his companions, are fighting the pirates!"
"He is so powerful; there's no need for him to lie to us. At least for now, we don't need to conflict with him!"
Hearing this, the village chief was still hesitating, guessing the truth of Moonlight's words, and the villagers all around supported this.
"Is that so? We will stay here, but if you want to ruin this town, we will fight for our lives and will not let you go as you please!"
The village chief nodded, looked at Moonlight, and gritted his teeth.
Moonlight nodded and looked at the field. At this time, the battle had come to an end. Zoro was caught off guard by Cabaji's dazzling juggling and suffered a lot of injuries.
Luffy's side was also over. Although he kept getting injured, Luffy was completely at a disadvantage in one-on-one situations. Even with a rubber body, he couldn't stand Buggy's sword. In the end, Nami found that Buggy's feet could not leave the ground, which was his weak point, and immediately helped Luffy. Buggy was then sent flying by Luffy! Finally, they won! And the Buggy Pirates were all defeated!
"Victory!"
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief, looking sadly at the hat scratched by the knife. This hat meant a lot to him, and he had made an agreement with someone, but he didn't expect it to be injured like this.
"Thank you for saving me. I can fix your hat for you."
Upon seeing this, Nami said.
"Really? Thank you so much, but Moonlight has already invited you just now. Let me invite you again. Join us and be our navigator!"
Luffy looked at Nami and invited again.
"It is impossible to join you. My goal is not the Grand Line. I prefer treasures, but we can cooperate. If you want to go to many places, I will guide you while collecting treasures!"
Nami smiled. After facing near-death, they were also friends in need!
"Cooperation? Okay."
Upon hearing this, Luffy nodded, then pointed to Zoro who was already asleep on the ground, and said.
"Moonlight, let's go, heading for the Grand Line!"
"Captain, to go to the Grand Line, we must have at least one of our own boats, and this guy, who is truly big enough, just fell asleep like this?"
Hearing that, Moonlight couldn't help but look at Zoro on the ground with a helpless expression! You can still sleep in this kind of place, and it's a miracle to live to this day!
"Well, don't worry, there will be ships."
Luffy nodded, looking confused and confident!
