Chapter 131 Buggy
The air seemed to solidify into substance, as cold murderous intent and arcs of electricity intertwined and jumped in the confined space.
Luo stood in front of Buggy's extremely exaggerated golden desk with a large portrait of himself carved on it, tapping the surface with his fingertips.
The "ROOM" area unfolded silently, and a light blue transparent spherical space quietly spread out.
The drawer of the filing cabinet opened automatically in an instant, and piles of account books, contracts, and secret files were lifted up by an invisible force, floating in the air. Some of the files were still stained with dried bloodline in the corners.
Luo lowered his eyes and flipped through the documents, his tone low and chilling:
"Heh, on the surface it's a dispatch service, but behind the scenes they're doing... these rubbish things?"
He casually pulled out a yellowed file and read out its contents with a sneer on his lips:
"Three months ago, in the southern town of the Kingdom of Solbay, a shipment of 'special cargo' was being transported under the guise of 'Buggy Express Escort Service'. In reality, it was kidnapped civilians. Those who resisted were thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish."
Luo's eyes grew colder, and he pulled out another record from Bloodline Madara:
"Last month, they were hired by the South Blue gang, the Wind Snakes, to help eliminate their rivals and set fire to a civilian area, killing 17 people, including five children."
He slowly bent down and kicked open the safe hidden under the carpet.
With a dull "bang", the cabinet door broke open and gems stained with Bloodline rolled to the ground.
Luo stretched out his fingers, picked up a blue gem soaked in blood, and sneered softly:
"They even accept the business of robbing merchant ships and killing people for their goods. It's really... dirty to the extreme."
Beads of sweat were already oozing out of Buggy's forehead, but he still maintained that exaggerated smile on his face.
He rubbed his hands as if he had the hiccups, and moved closer to Luo with his head held high.
"Haha... This must be a misunderstanding!"
"It's all my subordinates acting on their own. I'm a serious businessman!"
As he spoke, he frantically pulled out a small box inlaid with fake gems from his pocket and put on an extremely flattering smile:
"This is just a small gift, not a token of respect, but just a way for you all to relax and have a cup of good tea, ha...hahahaha!"
Before he finished speaking——
"Bang!"
Smoker smashed the so-called "hardship fee" with one punch, and the gold bars and fake gems rolled to the ground.
In the cloud of smoke, he grabbed Buggy by the collar and lifted up the "South Blue's No. 1 dispatch tycoon" like a dead dog.
"What do you take us Marines for?!"
Smoker's eyes were as cold as solidified steel, and his fists were faintly wrapped with the dark Armament Haki.
Seeing the captain being humiliated, Mochi and Kabaji's faces turned red, and under this Ultimate oppression, they finally exploded!
"Let go of our great Captain Buggy!!!"
Mochi whipped out his whip, roared, and swung it with a shadow that struck Smoker's wrist;
Kabaji turned over and jumped up, the scimitar flashed coldly, and went straight for Luo's throat!
Buggy was terrified: "Hey! You two, stop it!!!"
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning exploded in the room!
"Sizzle——!!!"
Enel didn't even turn his head, he just raised his finger, and two violent lightning bolts instantly pierced through the chests of Mochi and Kabaji!
The two men were stiff in movement, their bodies were charred and smoking, their eyes rolled back, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Li Ji roared and rushed out from the corner, his hair standing on end, as if he was determined to protect his master!
The result was a merciless punch from Smoker——
The heavy punch with the armed color smoke directly blasted Li Ji away, crashed through two walls, and finally fell far into the fountain pool, bubbling "gurgling".
Enel scratched his ears, shook off the remaining lightning on his fingers, and curled his lips in disgust:
"Really? Are the heads of pirates these days just for show? Are they here to deliver a package or to die?"
The arc has not yet dissipated and smoke is everywhere.
The air was filled with the smell of burning and rust, and the originally absurd and ridiculous atmosphere suddenly froze at this moment!
Luo stood in the mess, his cold eyes sweeping over Mochi and Kabaji who had been electrocuted to death, and then looked at the burnt account books and fragments of documents.
He slowly bent down and picked up a letter of authorization with burnt edges.
The handwriting on it was faintly legible: "South Town, Solbe Kingdom, Cleanup Operation, Reward: 30 million Berries."
Luo snapped his fingers and the paper turned into dust and flew away.
His voice was low, like a judgment coming from the depths of hell:
"On the surface, they're operating under the banner of a 'dispatch company,' but secretly they're undertaking human trafficking, selling stolen goods, cleaning up the black market, and assassination commissions..."
"You were the ones who started the fire in South Town last week, weren't you? They were trying to eliminate competitors in the black market, and the result—twenty-three civilians perished in the flames."
As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker's palms creaked, and the cigar in his mouth was bitten off, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Buggy.
"You b*****d..."
Just when the atmosphere was tense——
Enel's eyes suddenly changed, his golden pupils suddenly shrank, and lightning flashed around him!
"Heart Network Emergency Warning!"
"Swish!"
A funny-looking white glove flew out of Enel's hand in his peripheral vision, and a hand with a gorgeous ring gleaming with silver light cut through the air in a way that almost distorted space, heading straight for Enel's throat!
——How can this be a clown trick?
The murderous intent at that moment made the space seem to stagnate!
"Thunder Flash!"
At the critical moment, Enel turned into lightning and dissipated. The wall where he was standing was like being cut by an invisible sharp blade, and collapsed into countless regular cubes!
"Boom!"
Enel's figure regrouped in mid-air, golden lightning swirling around him. A rare solemnity wore on his face. "...This guy has completely changed."
In the ruins below, Buggy slowly bent down and picked up the white glove. His usual exaggerated and flamboyant demeanor had now disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there is a kind of hidden pride and sharpness that belongs to the great Pirates of the old era!
"Before I came here, I said..."
"How could the people on Pirate King Roger's ship be so weak?"
Buggy stood up slowly and twisted his neck slightly, his joints making a crisp crackling sound.
The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing the same defiant smile that Roger had shown back then:
"Ha... I wanted to continue pretending to be useless and get by."
"But you guys... have really stepped on Laozi's bottom line!"
Luo's pupils shrank slightly, and the surgical field "ROOM" instantly expanded, and a cold blue light enveloped the entire ruins;
Smoker is covered in smoke, with Armament Haki covering his fists;
Enel's lightning was dancing wildly and his fighting spirit was high.
The three of them formed a triangle formation and locked onto Buggy in the center, while the clown who always fled in a panic now exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Paramecia·Chop-Chop Fruit·Awakening"
——It can decompose and reassemble any object it touches, and even temporarily affect the structure of space!
Buggy, however, seemed completely oblivious to their oppression and slowly opened his arms.
In an instant, the sound of the earth breaking suddenly rang out!
The space he touched began to distort and divide in a way visible to the naked eye. Countless buildings, ruins, and even tiny spatial nodes in the air that were invisible to the naked eye were forcibly cut into regular geometric blocks, like a three-dimensional deconstruction art exhibition!
Even space was forced to recognize his power of division!
Buggy leaped lightly, and the space beneath his feet suddenly solidified as if he were standing on solid ground. He stood on the fragmented space block, looking up at the three people, laughing wildly:
"I'll give you a chance to see—"
"Anyone who could stand behind Captain Roger, the King of Pirates, back then could never be just a decoration!"
"Let you, the so-called new-age justice Marines, see what true pirates are like!!!"
Enel clenched the golden scepter tightly. "Hmph, even if you are Roger resurrected, what does it matter? Laozi will chop off your ridiculous head like this!"
Smoker's fist was wrapped in thick black Haki. "Stop talking nonsense. This is your graveyard!"
Luo's eyes were cold as he slowly unsheathed the "Ghost Cry" in his hand. The cold blade reflected Buggy's figure:
"The remnants of the old times should remain in history."
Buggy laughed and opened his arms wide: "Come on - three against one, who's afraid of who?!"
Lightning, smoke, and the energy of the surgical field roared at the same time at this moment!
The next moment, three terrifying auras burst out at the same time, and the battle was about to break out!
