Chapter 308: Thank you for the treasure map given by Master Buggy
"Okay~"
"oh!!!"
“Amazing!”
Applause, cheers and whistles continued to ring out, and the audience watching the performance changed from a few people from the Amber Tour Group to the entire village of Sampress Island.
The ones responsible for the performance are naturally the Buggy Pirates, or the Buggy Circus.
Faced with Zhang Daya, who was "very powerful" and had seastone in his hand, Captain Buggy simply backed down. He thought it was just a matter of cooperating and getting chopped a few times. It didn't matter how many times he got chopped, he wouldn't die anyway.
It's not that he disregarded the captain's authority, but his hand was still in the other's hand, and the cat took out a hammer from somewhere and flattened his fingers with one hammer, and after flattening them, he could pinch them and flatten them again.
In Bucky's eyes, this cat is simply a devil, and he can't beat the cat's owner, so he chooses to know the situation.
It didn't take too much time to study Buggy's abilities. Zhang Da simply attached the magic power, dark energy, and the armament color he was not very proficient in to the blade and tried it out.
As a result, no matter what kind of energy it is, as long as the attack is of the slashing type, Buggy cannot be hurt, even if Altria comes to chop him. Unless you use pure magic release, dark energy release, etc., and use various energies as a sledgehammer.
Zhang Da also said politely: "Okay, the test is over, thank you for your cooperation."
Bucky also said politely: "No, no, it's what I should do."
Zhang Da also asked: "Then can we ask you to perform a circus at the end? I have never seen a circus performance in person."
Buggy's upper body floated up, and he pressed his forehead against Zhang Tatsuya's forehead, shouting, "Don't push your luck, bastard! We are pirates!"
Zhang Da also silently pointed to the side, and saw Tom raised the hammer, thinking about which finger to hit.
Buggy quickly changed the subject with a smile: "Although we are pirates, performing circus is our hobby. If you don't mind, please let us perform for you!"
So Zhang Daye and his men boarded the Bikudopu and took down their pirate flag.
Under Buggy's orders, the pirates carried their unconscious companions onto the boat and prepared to sail the boat to the vicinity of the Amber, where there was an open space at the dock that could be used for the performance.
Before the boat set sail, many villagers came to check the situation with weapons such as shotguns, hoes, and sickles - they were attracted by the sound of the previous Bucky bomb explosion.
Zhang Da also shouted to them directly: "There is a circus about to start near the pier. If you are interested, you can come and watch it. There is no admission fee!"
The villagers were skeptical. Some people on the boat looked like pirates, while some did look like circus performers. Did the passing circus help catch the pirates?
For a moment they didn't know whether they should fight hard or go to watch the show.
Zhang Da also looked at the villagers' reactions and decided to confiscate the pirates' weapons and ammunition first. It would be a pity if someone who came to watch the circus was injured by the pirates.
However, he soon realized that he was overthinking. All of Bucky's men were talented, and they were really preparing very seriously for the circus performance.
After landing, within half an hour, they had fenced off the area, set up the circus tent, hung up colorful flags, pulled up the wires, and adjusted the lights...
They even set up snack stalls outside the tent, selling everything from lamb skewers to marshmallows. The most amazing thing was that when Bucky passed by a stall, he wanted to eat an apple candy and he had to pay for it!
He is simply a breath of fresh air among pirate captains.
Seeing Altria using her pocket money to buy things from the pirates, with three skewers of meatballs in her left hand and five skewers of lamb in her right hand, Zhang Da silently called his companions and asked them to come back to watch the circus, as there was no rush for anything else.
So, whether they were out hunting or looking for cliffs, they all hurried back quickly, and even the flag monster watching the boat got a temporary vacation.
The crowd first wandered around the food stalls outside, and then each of them entered with a bucket of popcorn to watch the show.
It was completely dark when the show started. The lights in the tent were shone towards the center of the field, and the tamer Mochi brought the lion Leakey onto the field.
Under Mochi's command, Riki stepped on a big ball and staggered forward. The pirates from the Buggy Pirates in the audience led the applause, and the atmosphere of the circus suddenly became lively.
This lion named Leakey is very smart and has a funny personality like Tom. After hearing the applause, he smiled and bowed to the audience, and then fell down on his back.
However, this accident actually made the atmosphere better. At least Tom was so amused by the stupid lion that he laughed so hard that he completely forgot what he was like when he was being silly.
Then the members of Buggy Pirates appeared one after another, breathing fire, walking on a tightrope, walking on stilts, riding a unicycle, and a lion jumping through a ring of fire...
Everyone has special skills, and it seems that if you don't know one or two acrobatics, you are not qualified to join this pirate group.
From Zhang Daye's perspective, if these people didn't become pirates and just started a circus and held a touring performance in the East China Sea, they would definitely be very popular. I really don't know what Buggy's original intention was in finding so many talents.
At first, there were only a group of people from the Amber Tour Group watching, but later the noise here attracted many villagers - it’s free anyway , so why not watch it?
The pirates behaved very honestly when the villagers came, and Zhang Da felt that these people were not behaving honestly just because they were present, but because they really regarded themselves as circus staff, or as the saying goes, they were into the show.
As the number of spectators increased, the atmosphere on the scene naturally became better and better, and the pirates performed even harder.
When the atmosphere was at its most heated, even Bucky came on stage to perform a magic trick himself - he crawled into a box, asked others to saw the box open with a saw, separated the box into several halves, displayed it for a few rounds, and then put it back together.
Then something happened that shocked Zhang Da as well.
Bucky seemed to have an aura of both intelligence reduction and encouragement when he was speaking in public. He just went on stage to brag a few words, saying that he was some kind of top-notch magician or something like that. After his performance, the audience in the audience shouted Bucky's name as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
There were even a few children crying and shouting that they wanted to follow Master Buggy to learn magic.
What a sin... Zhang Da also felt that if Buggy pretended that his magic trick failed and removed his arm, those children might decide on the spot to become the Magic King or the Clown King.
A circus performance that lasted for several hours came to an end, and the villagers left reluctantly. Until now, no one has realized that all the performers were pirates.
The pirates were also very reluctant when they waved goodbye to the audience. This was the day they received the most applause and cheers. Some were so emotional that they were even wiping away tears.
"Captain, let's have another show tomorrow!" The trainer Mochi bit a handkerchief and burst into tears.
“Great, it’s rare to meet such an enthusiastic audience…” Buggy answered subconsciously, but immediately changed his expression and roared, “What a show! We are pirates! Pirates!”
There was a click, the sound of handcuffs closing. Bucky's expression froze on his face, and he looked confused: "What?"
"You are under arrest, Mr. Pirate." Zhang Daye said mercilessly, "I almost forgot you were pirates after watching the show. Thanks for reminding me."
Buggy roared, "How despicable! You were applauding me just now, how can you do this now!?"
Bucky's men all complained in unison: "How despicable!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Da also shouted, and then spent three seconds recalling the brain circuits of the pirates in this world, and said with a 'sad face':
"To be honest, after a short time together, I already consider you as a close friend. However, I also have my own standpoint. As a bounty hunter, I cannot let you, a pirate, go!"
Bucky bared his fangs and growled, "Who would believe that?"
However, several minions immediately stood up and said, "If it's a question of stance, then there's nothing we can do, Captain Buggy, we can't embarrass your best friend!"
“Are you idiots?!” Bucky was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
"I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while, but please believe me, my pain is greater than yours. Is there anything more painful than arresting your best friend with your own hands? Bucky!" Zhang Da also swallowed his saliva and added, "Even if this best friend is worth 10 million, it can't make up for the trauma of my heart!"
"So Mr. Tatsuya is so miserable inside? Friendship between men is sometimes beyond one's control! Wuuuuu..." The pirates were so moved that they started crying.
Bucky yelled, "You're just trying to make money from my bounty, bastard!"
"If thinking this way makes you feel better, then I admit it. I just want to earn your bounty." Zhang Da said to Buggy with a playful smile, and when he turned to face the other pirates, he changed his expression to a deep one:
"In order to prevent my dear friend Bucky from being bullied in prison, I can only arrest you with tears in my eyes. No, what I mean is that you must take good care of Bucky!"
"Please leave it to us, Mr. Tatsuya!" In order not to embarrass the captain and Mr. Tatsuya, the pirates have begun to tie each other up.
Only Kabaji and Mochi had some brains, but after Rui Mengmeng touched the hilt of the sword , the two men calmed down and simply let Liki tie them up. Yes, the lion Liki knew how to use ropes and tie knots.
“You guys… wuwuwu…”
Zhang Da also tore a piece of cloth from Bucky's clothes and stuffed it into his mouth, and handcuffed his other hand with seastone handcuffs.
Leaving two flag monsters to guard the tent, Zhang Da also walked out of the tent to contact the navy to come and take over. He specifically explained that Buggy was a devil fruit user and asked them to prepare seastone handcuffs.
In the East China Sea, the smaller naval branch didn't have this thing at all, so we finally had to coordinate with the navy in Rogue Town to sail over urgently to take it over, and asked them to help look after it for two days.
Zhang Da had no objection as he had to hunt, look for clues and buy food the next day or the day after tomorrow anyway, so there was no rush.
Watching Zhang Tatsuya hang up the phone, Brook said, "So Mr. Tatsuya was in so much pain when he captured this pirate group? Do you want to listen to some music to relax?"
Zhang Da also said helplessly: "Uh... No, I just made it up to tease them, don't believe it!"
"Eh??? Is this a lie?" Brooke held her face in shock, "Mr. Tatsuya is too much!"
Zhang Da was also puzzled. "No, he's the kind of guy who bombards villages and towns all the time. Why do you think I can get along with him right away? Is it too much for me to give these murderous guys a little bit of a beating?"
"Because..." Brooke choked, seemingly unable to refute.
In Robin's words, Zhang Daye's behavior violates the "pirate aesthetics", so Brook will subconsciously feel that something is wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it. The so-called "male romance" and "power of friendship" should not happen to such people.
The person who most agreed with Zhang Daye's approach was Ye Yan. What he liked most was to fool the enemy into a state of confusion.
Ye Yan said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why is Mr. Ye more shameless than me today? Wouldn't it hurt your conscience to lie to such a cute pirate?"
"It doesn't hurt at all. I don't have a conscience for scumbags." Zhang Da also said, "If it were you, you would probably be even more cruel than me, right?"
Ye Yan thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would probably say something like 'I can't bear to hurt my best friend myself, please do it for me!' and try to make them kill each other."
"You are so vicious."
"Same here~"
The two guys who always lose their conscience when facing the enemy got together and grinned evilly.
Xia Lulu pulled Wendy and Perona back and whispered, "Next time, you must think carefully about what those two people say before deciding whether to believe them or not."
Perona nodded quickly and agreed, "That guy is the best at bullying children."
Wendy smiled awkwardly: "Brother Tatsuya wouldn't lie to us..."
Tom and Altria did not join in their conversation. Instead, they occupied the food stalls as soon as they left the tent. They grilled the unsold skewers themselves, and used machines to make marshmallows and popcorn...
The principle is that food should not be wasted, and it is also interesting to tinker with those machines. Several girls were quickly attracted by the marshmallows that kept popping out.
Shark Chili suggested going to Buggy's ship to collect some spoils, such as nautical charts, treasures and the like.
Zhang Da was also very interested. He knew that Bucky’s favorite thing to do was not robbing, but looking for treasure. He was very curious about how much wealth Bucky had accumulated now.
"By the way, he wouldn't come here for Wu Nan's treasure, right?" Zhang Daye then remembered that he had never asked Bucky why he came here.
"Perhaps , this kind of sea legend is not really a secret." Ye Yan said, "We will know if we go to his ship and take a look. If so, there may be a treasure map or something. Then it will be easier for us to find the treasure."
"That's true."
Half an hour later, Zhang Da also held a yellowed parchment with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Master Baki, for the box of treasures and a treasure map. Master 666!"
