Chapter 10 - Do you know who Red-Hair Shanks is to me?

Evening."Why do I feel like my body has become so much lighter?!"After waking up, Kaya found that although her body felt tired and sore, she also felt very comfortable, and strength was continuously emerging. It was completely unlike her usual heavy and powerless state, where she could barely move, which greatly surprised her.Seeing Kaya's reaction, Nami and Nojiko weren't surprised at all.Because the first time they learned swordsmanship from Qingyun, they felt the same way Kaya did now."Could it be because of the swordplay you taught me?!"Kaya quickly figured out the reason and looked at Qingyun in disbelief.She wasn't stupid.Since boarding the Sea King, she had only done two things: learning swordplay from Qingyun and sleeping.She slept every day, but this situation had never occurred before, so it naturally couldn't be because of sleeping.The only reason, of course, was learning swordplay from Qingyun."Smart."Qingyun affectionately ruffled Kaya's head.Kaya felt very happy, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly upwards, revealing a sweet and charming smile, completely without the discomfort she felt when Qingyun touched her face before.The status of a certain long-nosed man in Kaya's heart was gradually declining.And Qingyun's status in her heart was rising rapidly.Nami and Nojiko also occupied a place in her heart.Because if it weren't for them, Kaya would have been in trouble."Go make dinner quickly.""Whoever makes the most delicious food will get a reward tonight, oh."Qingyun patted Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya's backs, smiling as he spoke."Hmph!""I don't want your reward!"Nami said haughtily, but her body was already moving."I'll go do it now."Nojiko followed suit."I... I can't cook..."Kaya said awkwardly."It's alright, you can learn from Nami and Nojiko."Qingyun chuckled."That's right.""Let's go."Nami and Nojiko both extended their hands to Kaya."Mm."Kaya smiled slightly, placing her hands into Nami and Nojiko's respectively, and followed them to the kitchen.Qingyun looked at the retreating figures of Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya, a satisfied smile on his face... One day later.Afternoon.Upon arriving in Orange Town, Qingyun sent Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya to shop for supplies, while he ventured alone to the Buggy Pirates.Buggy Pirates.Clown Buggy was holding a celebration feast, eating and drinking heartily with his subordinates.He had just acquired a map of the Grand Line, occupied Orange Town, plundered a large amount of money, and obtained a large ship and powerful weapons. He planned to enjoy himself here for a few days before advancing into the Grand Line to make his mark.Therefore, Qingyun entered the Buggy Pirates almost unhindered."Who are you?""How come I've never seen you before?"Noticing the unfamiliar Qingyun, Clown Buggy stared at him curiously."It seems we've really never seen him before?"Buggy's subordinates also noticed Qingyun and looked at him curiously."I know, you must have witnessed my greatness and come to join my Buggy Pirates, right?""You have good judgment."Clown Buggy showed a smug smile."It must be so!""Captain Buggy is mighty!"Buggy's subordinates all followed suit with flattery."As expected of Clown Buggy, no real skill, yet so confident.""Does your confidence all stem from your unique red nose?"Hearing this, Qingyun wasn't surprised, but he still couldn't help but retort."What did you say?"Clown Buggy's eyes instantly widened in anger, glaring fiercely at Qingyun and roaring his question:"Are you saying my nose is big and red?"As soon as he finished speaking, Clown Buggy used the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit to separate his right hand from his body, controlling it to quickly approach Qingyun from the ground.Qingyun wasn't scared by Clown Buggy; instead, his subordinates were terrified, each like a startled bird."It's coming!""The power of the Devil Fruit!"Because Clown Buggy's subordinates all knew very well that he cared extremely much about his red nose.Every time they accidentally mentioned it, or even just said a homophone, they would be severely punished by Clown Buggy.Soon, Clown Buggy's right hand reached Qingyun's feet.He immediately controlled his right hand to swiftly grab Qingyun's neck.However, just then, Qingyun suddenly raised his left foot and stomped down, firmly pinning Clown Buggy's right hand to the ground."Ah!"Clown Buggy immediately let out an extremely painful shriek.Although the Chop-Chop Fruit can grant immunity to cutting and stabbing attacks from sharp weapons like swords, even if those weapons are imbued with Armament Haki, it can still grant immunity, making it a bane for swordsmen.However, it cannot grant immunity to blunt force attacks.A blunt instrument refers to an object without a sharp blade or tip.The human body is also considered a blunt instrument."Captain Buggy?!"Clown Buggy's subordinates were greatly surprised to see Qingyun completely unharmed, while Buggy was howling in pain."Quick... charge!""Kill him for me!"Clown Buggy endured the pain and ordered his subordinates."Kill!"Upon receiving Clown Buggy's command, his subordinates immediately picked up their weapons and charged at Qingyun.Buzz!Qingyun's eyes widened, and his black pupils instantly emitted a terrifying dark red light. Invisible Conqueror's Haki, accompanied by an incredibly powerful pressure, swept towards everyone present.The next moment, Clown Buggy's subordinates all rolled their eyes back and fainted directly, collapsing one after another onto the ground.Clown Buggy also broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembling involuntarily, and he looked at Qingyun with a face full of terror:"Con... Conqueror's Haki!""Who are you?"Clown Buggy now knew that Qingyun wasn't here to join his pirate crew, and he immediately took Qingyun seriously."You... you're Qingyun!"Clown Buggy also frequently read newspapers and finally recognized Qingyun, knowing that Qingyun was someone he couldn't afford to provoke. His attitude immediately underwent a complete transformation, and he asked with a smile:"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding.""May I ask, Brother Qingyun, what brings you here?""Please, just say it. If I can help, I will do my utmost.""To kill you."Qingyun said coldly."Oh.""No problem, I will definitely... Nani?!"Mid-sentence, Clown Buggy realized that Qingyun had just said he was going to kill him, and he was instantly dumbfounded."This is our first time meeting, isn't it?""I've never provoked you either, have I?""Why do you want to kill me?"Clown Buggy asked Qingyun, panicked and confused.Bang!Without another word, Qingyun stomped down forcefully, crushing Clown Buggy's right hand, splattering flesh and blood everywhere."Ah!"Clown Buggy was instantly in so much pain that he couldn't help but roll on the ground, letting out a pig-like shriek.Qingyun walked directly and unhurriedly towards Clown Buggy.Clown Buggy was terrified. He retreated along the ground while glaring at Qingyun, threatening him:"Do you know who Red Hair, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, is to me?""Let me tell you, Shanks is my sworn brother.""If you dare to kill me, Shanks will definitely not let you off."
