Dressed in a clown costume, with a white skull painted on his forehead, two blue lines slashed across his eyes, a large red nose, red lipstick, a clown hat, and long blue hair hanging from the hat.
He wore a red and white striped long-sleeved shirt, a purple scarf around his neck, white gloves, blue pants, and clown shoes.
As a Devil Fruit user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, Buggy was thriving in the East Blue.
He had collected quite a lot of treasure over the years, which was also his greatest hobby.
Near the main base, a short-haired girl with orange hair was secretly observing Buggy's territory.
Nami had been observing here for a long time but hadn't found an opportunity to act.
She was waiting for the right moment; these pirates were all foolish and easy to deceive, so she could get the nautical charts.
Her gaze then firmed; she needed to gather one hundred million Berries to buy Cocoyasi Village from Arlong.
She wanted to let the entire village live the happy life they once had.
"Captain Buggy, Captain Buggy."
"Help! Help!"
Ye Fan followed the two to Buggy's main base, and as soon as they arrived, they started shouting loudly.
Soon, everyone in the main base was drawn over.
Meanwhile, Nami, hidden in the shadows, saw that Ye Fan seemed very powerful and that a conflict had arisen, but this was her opportunity.
"Fight, fight! It'll make it easier for me to sneak in and steal the nautical charts, you bunch of stupid pirates."
The nimble eyes of the 'Cat Burglar' Nami darted, and she instantly knew her chance had come.
Such a big commotion would surely draw the guards of the nautical charts to join the fun, giving her an opening.
Buggy was looking at his treasure map, preparing to start his treasure hunt in a few days; it was his greatest hobby.
"Damn it, what's going on? So noisy!"
Pushing open the door, Buggy came out, shouting curses; he couldn't even get a good rest.
At this moment, a subordinate who knew what was happening rushed over to report: "Captain Buggy, someone has kidnapped two of our crew members and is outside right now."
Everyone in the pirate crew had gone out, and he was just here to inform Buggy.
"Who's so bold as to cause trouble on my Buggy Pirates' territory?"
In the East Blue, no one had dared to challenge him, the great Buggy.
He wanted to see which ignorant person it was and give them a good lesson.
So, he followed his subordinate and left, completely unaware that a figure was watching the area.
Nami saw that everyone had left, with no one left to guard; they truly were a bunch of idiotic pirates.
For safety, Nami waited a little longer, and seeing that there truly was no one, she swaggered into Buggy's room and began searching for the nautical charts.
Ye Fan felt no panic about being surrounded by a group of ruffians.
He had originally worried someone might run, but now he was just waiting for everyone to gather before acting, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Damn it, who's the ignorant fool who dared to hit my men?"
A path opened in the crowd, and Ye Fan saw a man dressed like a clown, wearing a pirate hat, walk out.
Ye Fan looked at the man, who was dubbed a 'Great God' by many netizens, with interest.
One of the future Four Emperors, now he looked...
"What a round, big red nose."
Ye Fan blurted out; the man's nose was indeed very big and round.
"Huh!"
The surrounding pirates looked at Ye Fan in surprise; their Captain hated it when anyone mentioned his nose.
They all prepared to watch the show, waiting for the Captain to deal with the opponent.
As expected, Buggy was furious to hear someone comment on his nose; his face instantly turned ashen, his eyes seemed to spit fire, and he showed an expression of rage.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his nostrils constantly exhaled heavy breaths, like an enraged beast.
He glared angrily, his fists clenched, and a fierce aura permeated the surroundings, making people shiver.
"Damn it, who dares to talk about my nose?" His voice was deep and hoarse, full of authority and menace.
His gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing directly into Ye Fan's heart, as if to devour Ye Fan alive.
Facing Buggy's fury, the people around him all retreated, clearly aware of the consequences when their Captain got angry.
"Go to hell."
The current Buggy could only control his split body to attack.
Seeing a pair of large hands attack him, Ye Fan smiled slightly at such a petty trick.
A powerful cold air erupted from his body, instantly freezing the hands in mid-air, shocking everyone.
This freezing ability reminded Buggy of Admiral Aokiji, who was a Devil Fruit user of the Ice-Ice Fruit.
"Are you a Devil Fruit user?"
Buggy was full of surprise; he could no longer control his hands to return, frozen and fallen to the ground.
And even though they were separated, the sensation in his hands could still be transmitted to him.
At this moment, he only felt his hands were incredibly frozen, so cold!
But he hadn't heard of such a name in the East Blue!
In the East Blue, anyone who had eaten a Devil Fruit had a known name, and none could control ice.
Except for Kabaji and Moji, everyone else retreated several hundred steps, clearly not wanting to be accidentally injured by the upcoming battle.
However, the two were also very vigilant and on guard, ready to act at any moment.
"I am not."
Compared to the shock and increased pressure of the three, Ye Fan appeared extremely calm; this was the confidence brought by strength.
Buggy's inner thoughts: "Damn it, even if he's a Devil Fruit user, so what? He dares to talk about my nose, he must pay the price."
After all, he had his secret weapon.
"Kabaji and Moji, go! Kill him for me."
While commanding his subordinates, Buggy prepared to use his secret weapon against Ye Fan.
Upon hearing Buggy's command, the two launched an attack on Ye Fan.
Ye Fan could only say that the two were very brave, but strength was not something that courage alone could make up for.
"What are you waiting for? Come and help me!"
Buggy wanted to use his Buggy Ball, which required aiming, and now that his hands were gone, he needed help from others.
The Buggy Ball was a powerful weapon, capable of destroying half a town with one shot, incredibly formidable.
"Damn it, let me taste..."
Just as Buggy, having prepared everything, was about to fire at Ye Fan.
He saw that his subordinates, Kabaji and Moji, one was frozen as a man riding a lion, and the other was a unicycling acrobat.
This startled Buggy so much that his entire body split into pieces and then reassembled.
His subordinates were also within the attack range, what should he do?
This made Buggy very hesitant, his heart filled with torment.
Ultimately, he still felt that his subordinates' lives were more important, so he wanted to make a deal with Ye Fan.
"Damn it, just say what you want!"
This kind of groveling way of begging could truly only be done by Buggy.
The word 'damn it' seemed to be his catchphrase; no matter who it was, it was always 'damn it'.
"Captain Buggy!"
The surrounding crew members were very moved, never expecting Buggy to back down to save Kabaji and Moji.
As men, they genuinely shed tears at this moment; men's tears don't fall easily, only when they encounter something truly moving.
For a moment, Buggy seemed to feel a strange sensation.
This unexpected turn of events surprised Ye Fan; he truly hadn't expected Buggy to have such a side.
But those who deserved to die still had to die.
"Lead the way, bring out all your treasures."
Money was something to get first; other matters could be discussed later.
In the eyes of Buggy and the others, Ye Fan agreeing to let them go meant he wanted their treasure.
