Chapter 212: Other Targets
While Enel & the men fight against Beasts Pirates' unit, Buggy & co meets with Deon. Deon has searched the targets of their operation which are local people who work under Beasts Pirates. They will remove these people which are considered as traitors by the locals.
It's very easy to find these people because they hold high positions on this island. They climbed the rank by wagging their tails to the Beasts Pirates and becoming their people's enemy. So removing these people will make the locals trust the Clown a little. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Of course, it won't be easy because the Clowns are also pirates, just like the Beasts Pirates. But gaining a little trust is important so they can talk and discuss their next plan for this island. The Clowns can't leave this island just like this because it's an important island for Beasts Pirates.
"Is it really that important?" asks Palu.
"Of course, it is. This island is where they get their resources, so they won't leave it. Furthermore, it will be an insult if they let a rookie pirate crew take over their territory. A big pirate crew like them won't let this matter go," says Buggy.
"So it doesn't matter whether this island is important or not. They just need to show that they aren't a crew to be messed with. Is that what you mean?" asks Ruff.
"Yeah, they have their pride as a big pirate crew and we will take advantage of that. Let's move immediately to capture the targets. Try to keep them alive so the locals can give punishment themselves. It will make them happy and agree to talk with us," says Buggy.
The others nod and they immediately spread to find their targets. Deon has located the targets and they just need to go to the locations. With the executives' strength, it will be easy to capture some normal people.
But not every target is a normal person because some of them are rather strong and have many men under them. Buggy, Cricket, and Palu will take care of these people while the rest handle the easier targets.
They split and Buggy goes to the one with the highest authority here, the Mayor. The Mayor has sat in that position since before the Beasts Pirates conquered this island. He immediately becomes their subordinate after knowing their power.
There are many guards in the Mayor's so it will be the most difficult even though the Mayor himself is weak. Some Beasts Pirates are also included as guards and all strong people on the island have been recruited. Those who refused will be killed, so no one dares to refuse.
Buggy reaches the Mayor's residence which is a big mansion. Very contrast with the badly shaped houses in the town. There are some good buildings around the mansion which are used by Beasts Pirates.
"Hmm, they don't care about their citizens at all, huh? Well, this is a usual sight in this world and I can't always meddle in it. But I have a business here, so it's fine if it helps the locals," says Buggy as he walks toward the mansion.
Some guards see him and tell him to stop but he ignores them. Buggy takes out his new pistol and shoots them immediately. The new pistol is very powerful and it can kill them in an instant as long as he hit the correct spots.
"Heh, using a pistol doesn't feel that bad. But the bullets are limited, so let's not use it too often," says Buggy as he switches to his swords again.
"Hmm, it still feels strange when an attack from the sword isn't sharp and doesn't cut. But a good swordsman can make their attack sharp or not by will. Still, I don't really like this feeling of failing to cut something," says Buggy before he sighs.
Buggy ignores his feeling and enters the Mayor's mansion. There are more guards there but he can handle them easily with his spinning saw blades. He finally reaches the Mayor's office and finds a fat old man pointing a pistol at him.
"D-Don't move!" says the fat Mayor.
Buggy just walks forward and says, "I've moved, now shoot me."
The fat Mayor trembles and he closes his eyes before he shoots his pistol. He opens his eyes after that and gets shocked seeing Buggy's face in front of his. It makes him jump backward and drops his pistol.
The fat Mayor looks afraid and he says, "H-How?"
"How can I be fine? You won't understand even if I explain it, so just forget it and sleep," says Buggy while crouching in front of the Mayor.
Buggy punches the Mayor's solar plexus and knocks him out. Then he ties the man and takes out his denden mushi to call his friends. "I'm done."
