Chapter 152: Defending The Wood

Chapter 152: Defending The Wood

They finally get the Adam Wood, so the Clowns leave the island immediately. This wood is a very wanted item, so many people will go after it. It brings happiness to them because they finally have it, but it also brings trouble because they need to fight many people for it.

"Captain, it seems that our previous covers are useless. They'll still know that we're the ones who buy this wood because we pull it with our ship," says Deon.

The Clowns bring the Adam Wood by pulling it behind their ship. It's the only way to transport something of such a massive size.

"Yeah, and it really slowing us down," says Enel while looking at the wood.

The wood's massive size also means its weight is very heavy. It makes their ship move very slow even after they use some Dials to make it move faster.

"I know, but our covers will still give us time to leave without their knowledge. If we didn't hide our identities at all, they'll attack us since we're on the coast and had tied this wood before. At least we can move to the sea first," says Buggy.

"Well, that makes sense," says Deon.

"Of course, it is. Now get to work! We need to protect this treasure," says Buggy.

Everyone nods and moves to do their tasks. Cricket, Palu, & Manba go to the end of the Adam wood. They will protect the back because the wood is very long. Buggy chooses the ones who can swim for this job because they might fall into the sea.

On the ship's rear, there are Buggy & Enel who will attack the ship that passes those 3's defenses. Ruff is ready on the left and Deon on the right. They are handling cannons and ready to shoot them anytime.

Mantis is the one who controls the ship while Jude guides her from the crow nest. Jude also acts as their scout who watches over their surroundings. She is also weaponized with a hand cannon to shoot at the enemy who might get too close to them.

"A SHIP FROM 4 O'CLOCK AND 2 SHIPS FROM 7 O'CLOCK!" shouts Jude. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

"Here they come. GET READY!" shouts Buggy.

Everyone gets ready and then 3 ships appear in their sights. They are close to Cricket's group's position, so the group will take care of them first. All 3 of them take out a bazooka each and aim it to a different ship.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

They shoot their bazookas and Palu is the only one who missed his target. The other 2 ships get hit in the front hull and big holes appear there. Water enters the ships and they stop because they need to stop the water or they'll sink.

"I never hold a bazooka before, so don't blame me," says Palu as the others look at him.

"Sigh, Manba, take care of it," says Cricket.

Manba nods and shoots the last ship, but it evades because the ship has prepared to do it after Palu missed.

So everyone looks at Palu and he gets pissed, "Fine, fine, it's my fault, I will take care of it."

"Hehe, we got some goodies here," says Buggy.

"We didn't bid for them, but we get them in the end. Lucky," says Palu.

"We've also recovered some of our loss. We get 341.4 million Belly from those guys," says Cricket.

"What are you saying, Cricket? We aren't just recovering it, we're profiting. All these items are worth more than what we spent. We will sell the items that we don't need and will get more than what we spent for the wood," says Buggy.

"Oh, that's right. Your sense of money is always good, Captain," says Cricket.

"Of course, if not, my crew will swindle me, HAHAHA," says Buggy jokingly.

The other 3 sweatdrops at it and Enel says, "As if we dare to swindle you even if your sense of money is bad. We still love our lives."

"So you love your life, huh? Then do you love money too?" asks Buggy.

"Of course," replies Enel.

"Then go take care of the next enemies and your debt will be paid off," says Buggy.

"Really?!" asks Enel surprisedly.

"Yeah," says Buggy.

Enel gets very spirited and immediately chases the incoming enemies. He worked hard to fight them while the other 3 just rob the ship. The attacks finally stop and Enel is dead tired now after fighting 28 ships alone. This idiot is desperate to get his pocket money back because he can't buy anything like his crewmates now.
