Chapter 75: Ambition Led to Demise

Chapter 75: Ambition Led to Demise

The Clown Pirates led the Marine Unit to leave Baterilla. They go far from the island to the open sea. Buggy doesn't want to fight near the island because it will make a big ruckus.

After they reach the open sea, Buggy tells his crew to stop the ship. He stands on the rear railing and unsheaths Pollux. Buggy charge Pollux's power using his haki and wait for the Marine ship to get closer.

The Marines are confused when they see the Pirates' ship stop. But it's their chance, so they move their ship closer. The Marine unit's leader is a Captain from Grandline, so he is confident they can defeat the Clowns.

"Captain, we've just got a message from HQ to not initiate the attack," says the Lieutenant.

"What? Are they looking down on me? Tch. Even if he was Roger's apprentice and have a bounty of 100 million. But he is still a Blues-level pirate. He doesn't dare to go to Grandline means that he is afraid and weak," says the Marine Captain.

"But this is a direct order from Admiral Sengoku," says the Lieutenant.

"Just tell him that the Pirates attack us first," says the Captain.

The Lieutenant and other subordinates are not sure. But they can only do as the Captain says because he is the leader. They don't know that the Captain has another thinking.

'If I can defeat him, then I will be promoted to Rear-Admiral. This is my chance to get a promotion. That guy just has a big reputation ad Roger's apprentice. He won't be that strong even with high bounty,' thinks the Captain.

The Marine Captain underestimates Buggy's power. He doesn't think that Sengoku gave that order because of Shanks. Sengoku considers Buggy to have similar strength with Shanks who can defeat a Grandline Rear-Admiral.

That's why Sengoku wants to send a Vice-Admiral to chase Buggy. But the Marine Captain doesn't think about it and gets blinded by his ambition to get promoted.

Well, he was also not satisfied with his job to investigate Baterilla to find a baby that might be Roger's offspring. 9 months have passed a long time ago, so if Roger has a baby, he should have been born already. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

But the higher-ups are stubborn, so he could only do it as a mere Captain. That's why he wants to get a promotion badly and this is his chance. He will prove that he is as strong as a Rear-Admiral.

The Marine ship gets closer and finally, the Little Hunter is on their firing range. The Captain orders his men to shoot at Little Hunter. But Buggy also makes his move and raises Pollux that glows bright white up.

Then at the same time with Marine's shooting, Buggy swings his sword down with full power.

"Press Release: Slash!" says Buggy while swinging his sword.

Buggy's sword swing creates a big white vertical slash arc. It cut the sea and push the water away because of Pollux's press power. It moves toward the Marine ship and pushes away the cannonballs that were shot at Buggy's ship.

The Marines are panicking and so is the Marine Captain. He never thought that Buggy can create such an attack that can cut the sea. Well, it's Pollux's power, but it's also Buggy's power because he is the one who used it.

They enter the house and go to Rouge's bedroom. They see her laying on the bed and seems very weak. Buggy can find a resemblance of her real self with her animation self.

"Are you Buggy?" asks Rouge weakly.

"Yeah, it's the first time we meet, Rouge," says Buggy while smiling.

"Roger has talked a lot about you and your friend, Shanks. I'm sorry to meet you in this condition," says Rouge.

"Don't worry about it, you just need to focus on getting better now," says Buggy.

"I have a question. How did you know about me?" asks Rouge.

"I have my way. Let's not talk too much, you need to rest. I will let my crewmates help you in here. Manba is a good doctor, so he will help you & your baby. As for the Marines, they won't disturb you at all," says Buggy.

Rouge smile and so is Buggy. He then leaves the room after telling his crew to take care of Rouge. Buggy goes outside and sighs in relief.

He doesn't know why Rogue hasn't given birth to Ace yet. But it relieved his heart because he get the chance to save Rouge. Now he will do his best to save Rouge & Ace, so he won't regret anything.

"Captain Roger, I will do my best to save them. This is the least I can do to repay what you've given to me. Well, the original Buggy and my current self. I don't know who or what power that has done this, but I'm very grateful," says Buggy while looking at the sky and smiling.
