Chapter 99

"He deserved to die!"

"That damned bastard…"

"If he hadn't died, I, your lord, would have killed him with my own hands!"

"It's one thing to have nothing to do all day."

"But out of sheer boredom, he actually brought back a terrifying monster!"

"And that led to the entire Buggy Pirates being wiped out by a single person!"

Buggy's heart was filled with unwillingness and rage.

This rage was naturally directed at the blue-haired man who had brought Lu En here.

If not for that man…

How would the Buggy Pirates have been wiped out?

How would they have provoked such a terrifying monster?

Heaving a silent sigh, Buggy felt helpless.

Now, anything said was already too late.

It wouldn't help matters,

Utterly meaningless.

"You lot, come here."

"Tie up your own hands and feet with rope, on your own initiative."

"Don't try any tricks on me…"

"Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Lu En swept a casual glance over the few trembling pirates.

Given the terrified state of these pirates, Lu En believed these fellows absolutely wouldn't dare play any tricks.

Sure enough.

The moment Lu En's voice fell,

The few pirates hurriedly picked up ropes and bound themselves up, tying them very securely.

Seeing this,

Lu En withdrew his gaze in satisfaction.

His gaze shifted,

He looked at Buggy beside him and said with a smile, "Let's go, come with me to Marine Headquarters. You should know which direction the Marine Branch at Loguetown is, right?"

Hearing this,

Buggy's face went pale.

Forcing down the fear in his heart, he said weakly, "I can give you a huge fortune, let me go, how about it? This fortune is enough for you to live lavishly for most of your life! It's the wealth I've accumulated over half my lifetime!"

Lu En laughed.

Trying to bribe him?

What a pity!

As for the so-called fortune in Buggy's mouth…

He simply couldn't be bothered with it at all.

"Walk."

His right hand pushing Buggy, Lu En's expression was flat.

Seeing that Lu En's expression hadn't changed at all throughout, Buggy's face turned ashen.

He was in despair.

Under Lu En's command,

Buggy did not dare disobey.

He could only drag his heavy body, gritting his teeth, forcing out step after step with great difficulty, heading in the direction of Jiuguanda Sect.

Every step,

Was an immense torment for Buggy.

His injuries were far too severe.

At this moment,

Making him walk several kilometers on his own was practically taking his life.

With every step, his body sent waves of heart-wrenching stabbing pain, causing cold sweat to pour down Buggy's forehead as he kept sucking in cold breaths, his whole body trembling in agony.

This was absolutely the most severe injury Buggy had ever suffered in his life!

Never had any wound been more severe than the one Lu En had inflicted with a heavy punch today.

"¨‖ This little brat…"

"Who on earth is he?"

"And just who could possibly have cultivated a terrifying monster of this caliber?!"

Even now, Buggy still couldn't figure it out.

Lu En's identity was like a mystery…

Leaving Buggy perpetually deeply puzzled.

Then,

Lu En took Buggy and left in the direction of Jiuguanda Sect, heading all the way toward the Marine Branch at Loguetown.

Of course.

Before leaving the tavern,

Lu En had already knocked out those few trembling pirates.

To prevent them from seizing the chance to escape.

After knocking out these few pirates,

Lu En could then take Buggy to the Marine branch with peace of mind.

Only leaving behind…(money or whatever)…

Inside the tavern,

The over a hundred pirates scattered across the ground like cold corpses.

They all lay on the ground motionless, unconscious.

Pirates knocked out by Conqueror's Haki naturally couldn't recover easily without a good half a day.

After dealing with the remaining trivial matters in the tavern……

Lu En walked several kilometers with Buggy.

Buggy's body and mind were nearly numb from pain.

Finally—

In the distance,

Buggy saw that standing Marine branch.

Extremely imposing,

With a heavy sense of pressure.

At this moment,

Buggy felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

He had never longed for something as much as today……

Desperately wanting to see the Marine branch!

Now,

He had finally gotten his wish.

If he had to run another kilometer more……

He really might have died on the spot.

"We're here!"

"Finally here!"

Buggy's legs went weak, half-kneeling on the ground, his whole body trembling.

Beside him,
