Chapter 277
The Red Hair Pirates can only huddle within their own territory.
Pirates beneath the Four Emperors have virtually no foothold left.
If they do not join the Blackbeard Pirates, their future fate is either to be killed by the Beasts Pirates or to fade away from the New World.
A new order has emerged among the Four Emperors.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea, ranked as the third power alongside the Four Emperors and the Marines, have also undergone significant changes.
The former Warlords Jinbe and Moria both betrayed the Marines and became subordinates of Luo Xing.
As for Blackbeard, there is no need to mention him.
The three of them were stripped of their Warlord titles.
Now, only four Warlords of the Sea remain.
Mihawk, the Empress, Whitebeard II, and the tyrant Kuma, who has already become a slave of the Celestial Dragons.
To maintain the balance and to add more combat power to the Marines,
the World Government, while conducting a global recruitment drive, is also scouting candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
A figure entered the vision of the Five Elders.
It was the clown Buggy, who had caused a huge uproar in the first half of the Grand Line.
Originally,
in this world, after the clown Buggy was blown away by Straw Hat Luffy,
he was not captured by Smoker in Loguetown, nor was he imprisoned in Impel Down.
Buggy got his wish and entered the Grand Line.
· ········· Requesting flowers ··· ·······
With the world's strongest Conqueror's Haki of luck, Buggy advanced triumphantly through the Grand Line, unstoppable and breaking through all resistance.
He once happened to encounter Mihawk, who was returning from his travels in the East Blue to the New World,
and they were actually evenly matched!
Mihawk could not do anything to Buggy!
Buggy even shouted:
"Mihawk, you and Shanks, just wait for me! I'll make you pay someday!"
Upon hearing this, Buggy's subordinates were stunned.
The pirates watching on the Grand Line were also stunned!
Immediately after, Buggy's identity was exposed, and the world was so shocked their jaws nearly dropped!
It turned out.
This red-nosed clown Buggy was actually a crew member of the former Pirate King Luo Jie, a legendary figure who had once fought fiercely with the current Emperor Shanks!
Even Mihawk, and the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, whose bounty exceeded 5 billion Berries and was higher than Kaido's, had once placed extreme importance on Buggy!

Buggy's fame instantly reached its peak!
His figure appeared incredibly towering in the eyes of all the pirates.
He was simply as majestic as a god!
In a time when ordinary pirates could barely establish a foothold in the New World,
the pirates of the first half of the Grand Line flocked to the legendary figure, the clown Buggy.
Buggy, who felt utterly bewildered himself, found his subordinates increasing day by day.
In the blink of an eye, they exceeded ten thousand, and their momentum was even fiercer than Blackbeard's!
Among them were strongmen whose bounties were dozens of times higher than Buggy's.
A typical example was Caribou, the user of the Swamp-Swamp Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit.
And there was Bellamy, the user of the Spring-Spring Fruit, a former member of the Donquixote Family who, after Doflamingo's death, vowed to avenge him.
And so on and so forth...
Such a powerful force caused Buggy to inexplicably dominate the first half of the Grand Line.
He became an existence no one dared to provoke.
Just at this moment, the World Government eagerly rushed over to invite him to become a Warlord of the Sea.
Buggy's face nearly split from smiling as he "reluctantly" accepted the title of Warlord of the Sea.
He also established Buggy's Delivery Service and occupied several countries and islands.
They specialized in transporting mercenaries to various places around the world.
Currently,
within the Buggy Pirates, the only one who knows Buggy's true background is the third brother, Galdino, who will one day become an Admiral.
Galdino, formerly Mr. 3 of the Baroque Works under Crocodile, was accidentally saved by Buggy.
Looking at the glorious and triumphant Buggy, and at those powerful pirates who regarded Buggy as a god, he sniffed his nose, hunched his neck, and thought:
"Is this... is this really okay?"
236. The increasingly outrageous Buggy, the furious Akainu, and Fujitora's angry rebuttal!
Galdino's heart was full of guilt.
He knew Buggy's true strength might not even be greater than his own.
Yet those pirates who worshipped Buggy immensely and treated him as a legendary figure,
were all utterly wicked scoundrels.
Take Caribou, for instance; his methods were cruel, he loved torturing and killing Marines, and his bounty had already exceeded 200 million Berries.
If Caliburn were to learn that the legendary Buggy he pledged allegiance to,
was merely a weakling clown,
then, given Caliburn's brutal nature, he would surely kill Buggy!
Even Jango Dino would not escape!
Not to mention,
that within the Buggy Pirates now, there exists someone far stronger and more ferocious than Caliburn...
Mr. 3's cold sweat soaked his back.
Since he had followed Buggy the longest and shared the closest bond with him,
he was also regarded by the other pirates as an extraordinary figure, even being respectfully addressed by them as "Third Brother."
"Five six zero"
Mr. 3 couldn't sleep soundly at night; this was too terrifying.
He decided,
that he would find an opportunity to tell Buggy to flee immediately, not to play with fire here!
If we are exposed, both of us will die without a place to be buried!
Just then,
Wet-haired Caliburn, with his long tongue hanging out, looked at Buggy with admiration and said:
"Captain Buggy, I heard that Blackbeard has been recognized by the World Government as the new Emperor replacing Bai Huzi."
"Yet the government has only granted you the position of Warlord, which clearly indicates they consider you inferior to Blackbeard!"
Buggy, whose nickname had already upgraded from "Clown" to "Thousand-Demon Clown,"
wore a vast red coat, waving it with overwhelming dominance, fully displaying the bearing of a legendary figure of his generation.
Buggy raised his egg-sized red nose and said arrogantly and disdainfully:
"Blackbeard? What is he?"
"Back in the day, I fought him for three days and three nights; if not for Bai Huzi pleading with me, I would have killed him long ago!"
Upon hearing these words,
the entire Buggy Pirates, numbering over ten thousand members, immediately erupted in excitement.
One by one, their eyes sparkled with little stars of admiration.
They shouted loudly:
"Truly the crewmate of Luo Jie, the Pirate King! You even nearly killed Blackbeard, sir!"
"Even the strongest man, that terrifying Bai Huzi, had to plead with you, sir!"
"Captain Buggy, could you be the legendary deity?"
