The meal wasn't much; Pure Lida ate it all by herself, and it only cost ten million Berries.
As a bustling area, things here are naturally expensive, and the ingredients used are all of high quality. Even the sake that Kuro drinks is top-grade.
Bucky, with tears in his eyes and trembling, pulled out a bag of gold coins to pay the bill.
"By the way, Buggy, since you've just arrived, why don't you thoroughly inspect this town and see if there are any bad pirates out there? Just throw them all into the sea."
What kind of Shichibukai are they if they don't fight against pirates? Especially Buggy, that guy is really lucky. It would be best to let him eliminate some of the more wicked pirates first.
"Fine, I'll be staying here for a while. Since you're treating me to dinner, Kuro, go help out. Take a squad of marines and clear this place out first," Kuro said.
"Understood, Mr. Kuro." Kuro adjusted his glasses and turned to summon the Navy.
"Hey, what are you doing, Kuro? I've only just arrived here. This is something I should be doing!" Buggy yelled.
“We’re all on the same side, that’s about right.” Kuro glanced at him and waved his hand, saying, “If you think it’s too slow, you can add another team yourself.”
Veins bulged on Bucky's head.
He hadn't thought about this question before, but as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was here to wipe out any pirates who dared to defy him. However, he also wanted to recruit some followers here.
If Kuro does this, he has to act first in order to maintain his authority.
"Damn Kuro, how dare you do this! If I don't retaliate, do you think I'm made of clay?! Dino!"
Buggy watched Kuro leave, then called out, and a man with a '3' hairstyle appeared beside him.
“It would be best to cooperate with this Golden Lion. Bucky, we can’t fight him,” Mr. 3 suggested.
"Of course I know! I want you to take your men and clean this place up with them!" Bucky's mouth was so wide open it looked like he could swallow a person whole.
He's not crazy, why would he go against Kuro?
When the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea work together to search an entire town, the speed is naturally very fast.
When the pirates saw the Navy approaching, their first reaction was naturally to flee. They boarded their ships and rushed out to sea, afraid of being a step too late. However, facing the massive Golden Lion standing there, the chance of escaping from the port was almost nonexistent.
Some lucky ones didn't dock in port, but instead anchored on the nearby coast, and managed to escape by boat. However, the rest were wiped out by the joint forces of the navy and Pakistan.
"Wait, wait! We surrender! We want to follow Boss Bucky too!"
The pirates captured by Buggy's men were yelling and screaming.
Kabaji and Mochi exchanged a glance, feeling smug. Ever since Buggy became a Shichibukai, things had become much easier for them, as they could use his reputation to attract people to serve them.
"Of course! I'm the vice-captain of the Buggy Pirates!" Mochi puffed out his chest, cracked his whip, and said proudly, "I can approve your joining the Buggy Pirates. Rejoice, pirates! This is a gift from Lord Mochi!"
Cabaji snorted coldly, refusing to admit defeat, and said, "I am Cabaji, the chief of staff of the Buggy Pirates, and I also grant you permission to join the Buggy Pirates. Rejoice, this is the grace of Lord Cabaji!"
"oh!!!"
The pirates cheered excitedly.
These are the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If they join them, they won't be wanted anymore, and they'll be under the command of a powerful figure—that's a very good thing.
"Who gave permission? We haven't given permission yet!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side, and a squad of marines quickly approached. Sazel, who was in charge, said, "Pirates need to be investigated. Since you caught them, those without a criminal record will be allowed to join you, but those with a criminal record need to be taken away."
Sazir walked up to them and said, "This is an order from Lieutenant General Kuro. You shouldn't disobey, right?"
...
Such incidents were not limited to Sazel; basically, anyone captured by these Buggy Pirates members was apprehended by the Navy and taken away.
Whether it's Mochi, Kabaji, Mr. 3, or Alvida, the Buggy Pirates' executives know the reputation of the Golden Lion and would never refuse the Navy's offer.
The group of former Level 6 prisoners below weren't very bright. They admired Bucky and also admired these officers, so they wouldn't have any doubts and would naturally believe whatever they were told.
Soon, all the pirates stationed in Carnival City were wiped out, and only a few without any bad records joined the Buggy Pirates and escaped this calamity.
It took about two days to wipe out the pirates in Carnival City. The captured pirates, Kuro, were too lazy to report it and were simply executed by firing squad at the port. Their blood stained the seawater at the port, and their bodies fell into the sea like dumplings.
The smell of blood wouldn't last long before the sea monsters, drawn by the scent, would devour it.
After doing all this, Kuro took Rita and drove off in the Golden Lion, heading in another direction, leaving Buggy there gritting his teeth.
They're all gone!
Kuro killed all the subordinates he could have recruited!
Is this guy insane? Why does he have to kill every pirate he encounters?!
"This is it, I'm going to be hated by those pirates for this place," Buggy said, somewhat angrily.
Having wiped out so many pirates, any pirate on this route who hears the rumors will definitely remember this place.
"That's not right. I heard from the new pirates that we seem to be pretty strong," Mr. 3 said.
"What's so great about it! I came here to make a fortune, not to fight pirates!" Buggy retorted angrily.
“No, those pirates said we have the power to summon the Navy. As long as someone offends us, the Navy will come to our aid,” Mr. 3 said slowly.
"Huh?"
Bucky froze, looking over. "Is that so?"
The other officers nodded in agreement; that was the version they had heard from the surviving pirates and the local residents.
Even their own subordinates thought so.
Otherwise, this is Buggy's base, so why would the Navy come here and help them wipe out the pirates? It's just that Buggy is very powerful.
They all believed that the pirates who were killed were killed because Boss Buggy didn't like them, so he had the Navy kill them.
What does this mean? It means that even the Navy doesn't dare to easily offend Boss Bucky; they'll only help Boss Bucky do things!
That's absolutely amazing, Boss Bucky!!
Looking at the admiring gazes of his other subordinates, Buggy rubbed his red nose, suddenly revealing a smug expression. He put his hands on his hips and said, "That's right, that's it! I'm someone even the Navy has to help. You just need to keep watching my back and obediently submit!"
"Yes, Boss Bucky!!!"
