Chapter 102

Yet not a single one had ever succeeded.

Every single time, it ended in failure!

From this, one could see—

Just how impossibly difficult it was to capture the clown Buggy!

What left her dumbfounded was…

This infamous Great Pirate of the Grand Line, the clown Buggy—at this very moment—had been dragged into the Marine branch base like a dead dog by a four-year-old brat!

All of this made her worldview shatter and collapse on the spot.

Silence!

The vast hall of the Marine branch base was deathly still!

Not a sound to be heard!

The female Marine was completely dumbfounded.

Standing to one side,

the young Marine soldier who had just been responsible for hauling Buggy in was also stunned stupid.

He stared blankly at the bounty poster for the clown Buggy that the female Marine was holding in her hands.

Turning his head,

he looked again at the clown Buggy, sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move a muscle.

"This!"

He opened his mouth, his mind a complete blank.

Good lord!

This really was the clown Buggy!

That infamous Great Pirate of the Grand Line!

The East Blue's most terrifying Great Pirate of the Grand Line!

Committing every evil,

perpetrating every crime.

"Could I be hallucinating?"

The young Marine couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart trembling violently.

"If I remember correctly."

"Some time ago…"

"Colonel Gerson personally took the field, making a huge fuss over capturing the clown Buggy. But in the end, it still ended in failure."

"Buggy got away!"

The more he thought about it, the more shaken he became.

Right now,

what was he seeing?!

The clown Buggy—the very one who had left even Colonel Gerson, the strongest fighter at the Marine branch base in Loguetown, completely helpless.

Yet now,

at this very moment,

the man was like a dead dog, beaten to within an inch of his life, lying motionless in the hall of the Marine branch base, looking as if he were on the verge of death, a picture of utter misery.

This—was really the notorious clown Buggy they remembered?

A bona fide Great Pirate of the Grand Line with a bounty of over ten million Berries…

reduced to such a wretched state?

That was just too pathetic!

"Is this really a Great Pirate of the Grand Line with a bounty of over ten million Berries?"

"How could he be this pathetic?"

"What on earth happened?"

The young Marine gaped in astonishment, rooted to the spot like a wooden statue.

Hoo!

Letting out a heavy breath, the young Marine looked at the female Marine colleague beside him and asked, "Should we report this to Colonel Gerson? This matter is too big to handle."

"A Great Pirate of the Grand Line with a bounty of over ten million Berries! And it's the notorious clown Buggy!"

"Colonel Gerson has gone after the clown Buggy many times, and every single attempt ended in failure."

His words fell.

The female Marine seemed to wake from a dream.

She couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, her eyes filled with horror as she stared at the Buggy before her, the hand gripping the bounty poster trembling slightly.

Even now,

the shock in her heart still couldn't be fully suppressed.

The person she had taken for a thief…

Who would have thought,

he really was a pirate!

A Great Pirate of the Grand Line with a bounty of over ten million, no less!

"You two, do you believe what I told you earlier now?"

Lu En looked at the two of them.

The voice fell,

like rumbling thunder, exploding in the two Marines' heads with a buzzing roar.

Now,

they believed it.

"Damn!"

"This little boy—he wasn't exaggerating from the very start."

"He really took down a great pirate with a bounty of over ten million berries?!"

"Is this really possible?"

"How could…"

The female Marine stared blankly, lost in shock.

Even knowing Buggy's identity, she still couldn't bring herself to believe it.

This great pirate, bounty over ten million berries, had actually been taken down by a four-year-old child with his own hands!

This sounds…

it made her feel as if she were in a dream.

Like she was dreaming!

A four-year-old taking down a pirate with a bounty over ten million?

"N-no way?"

"How could such a terrifying monster exist in this world?!"

The female Marine's heart shook wildly.

At first,

she hadn't paid Lu En any attention at all.

But at this very moment,

upon seeing the clown Buggy on the brink of death, she suddenly came to a realization.

And realized…

this little boy, only four years old, seemed to be no ordinary person!

"Did you really take him down yourself?"

The female Marine looked toward Lu En and asked in a trembling voice.
