"Luffy is more straightforward; Shanks is too fussy. I think the Four Emperors is his limit..."
Hanging up the transponder snail, Buggy sighed.
"Don't get a bargain and then complain; Shanks has already agreed to help you."
Rayleigh felt a bit helpless; what was originally a complex matter had been settled by this kid in just a few sentences.
This wasn't just going out for a meal; it was an all-out war between the Four Emperors. It would definitely shock the entire world, and the impact would be hard to estimate.
"I'm just concerned about him. I used to know a very fussy guy who was clearly very strong but incredibly naive. He wanted to protect everything, but in the end, he protected nothing."
"I don't want Shanks to follow in his footsteps." Buggy put the transponder snail away and started rummaging through his bag again.
Seeing him take out a new transponder snail, Rayleigh suddenly had a bad feeling. "Wait, you're not planning to call someone else, are you?"
"Of course, I said I would do my best," Buggy said.
Rayleigh was completely stunned. Did Blackbeard dig up your ancestors' graves? Why do you hate him so much?
"Hello, is this Dragon? I heard you have some grievances with Blackbeard. There's an opportunity now; do you want to take revenge?"
This call was relatively brief, and Dragon quickly agreed.
Although he said not many executives of the Revolutionary Army could go, he would go himself.
It seemed he also hated Blackbeard quite a bit.
"That was... Dragon of the Revolutionary Army? You might as well just call Garp too..." Rayleigh quipped.
"I'd like to, but I don't have his contact information. I can't exactly go to Marine Headquarters to find him." Buggy put the transponder snail away.
A reason to persuade Garp would be easy to find.
Garp, you wouldn't want your son and grandson to get hurt, would you?
"You really have that intention!" Rayleigh sighed. "But your charisma is a bit too strong."
"Piracy isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about worldly wisdom and relationships."
Seeing Rayleigh's thoughtful look, Buggy couldn't help but laugh. "Just kidding. It's mainly because Blackbeard has offended too many people."
"I'll take Mr. 3 and the others with me first and bring them back after the war. Witnessing a battle between the Four Emperors will be good for them," Buggy said.
"It can only be witnessing. Even if the executives of the Blackbeard Pirates were doubled, there wouldn't be enough to go around..."
To be honest, if it weren't for his pride, Rayleigh really wanted to go and watch.
Mainly to see Blackbeard's expression; it would definitely be wonderful... "Why don't you do a live broadcast, just like when you killed the Celestial Dragon?" Rayleigh suggested a compromise.
"It's not impossible." Buggy thought for a moment. Morgans would definitely have no problem with it; this was earth-shattering news.
"It's just that by doing this, I'll become the World Government's primary target."
"Aren't you already?" Rayleigh found it hard to understand. He had already killed a Celestial Dragon; they were already mortal enemies.
"It's different. Right now, my strength is still within their range of acceptance. If they knew I could mobilize so much power, the Gorosei probably wouldn't be able to sleep," Buggy laughed.
A powerful pirate Captain and a pirate Captain who could mobilize nearly half the world's power were different levels of threat in the eyes of the World Government.
"True..." Rayleigh understood. "The scale of this battle will probably exceed the Marineford War!"
"But ultimately, it's because you've called too many people. So, are you still going to broadcast?" Rayleigh asked.
"Of course I'm going to broadcast. Something this interesting naturally needs to be seen by the whole world."
Buggy laughed out loud. "Doesn't a clown exist to bring joy to others?"
Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, then warmly put his arm around Buggy's shoulder and laughed as well.
"You kid, you've become quite a remarkable fellow."
Roger, compared to Shanks, Buggy is more like you.
To hell with the prophecy. If you were still alive, you would definitely support Buggy to become the Pirate King.
However, this kid's ambition is even greater than yours; he might already look down on such a title.
The two returned to the Ransom Bar arm in arm, leaving Shakky and the others stunned.
Mr. 3 and the others were excited. Could the matter of becoming disciples be settled?
But Buggy's next words made their hearts sink.
"Pack your things. We're not going to Water 7 for now."
"Ah... then what was the purpose of us coming out?" Mr. 3 was stunned.
"There's another emergency. Just head back to the ship." Buggy waved his hand. "By the way, Sister Shakky, do you know where Whitebeard's hometown is?"
"Shit!" Before Shakky could speak, Rayleigh couldn't help but curse.
It's never-ending, isn't it... "What's wrong?" Shakky gave Rayleigh a puzzled look.
As an information broker on the Sabaody Archipelago and a former member of the Rocks Pirates, she naturally knew the location of Whitebeard's hometown.
"Blackbeard might not be human, but you're a real piece of work..." Rayleigh punched Buggy directly.
"It's nothing. The first mate is getting old; he's still stuck in his old ways."
Since Rayleigh didn't use Haki, Buggy took the punch directly, and it hurt a bit... "Here." Shakky recorded the location of Whitebeard's hometown into a Log Pose. "I won't charge you this time; consider it payment for their help with the work."
Shakky said, pointing to the clean and tidy tavern.
Mr. 3 had even thoughtfully applied a layer of wax.
"Thanks. Next time, I'll have them bring some specialties from Wano Country when they come to become disciples."
Buggy took the Log Pose, wondering how many members of the Whitebeard Pirates were left.
In fact, their combat power wouldn't affect the overall situation; Buggy just wanted to give them a chance for revenge.
"Then we're off..." Buggy prepared to leave with the joyful trio, leaving a final instruction: "Don't forget to watch the live broadcast."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't want to miss something this interesting," Rayleigh laughed.
Buggy felt some regret; it was a pity the broadcast didn't allow for donations, or he could have made a small fortune.
Vegapunk should really study transponder snails; if a network could be built in the pirate world, it would be much more convenient.
As Buggy set sail, a carnival was taking place on Cake Island.
Countless green Berries bills flew through the air as Blackbeard sat on a throne of cash, laughing wildly.
"Zehahahaha~ The World Government is generous after all; those slaves actually sold for a high price."
"Captain Blackbeard is truly amazing. Everything else is empty; only Berries are real." Three flamboyantly dressed beauties snuggled up to Blackbeard.
One of the beauties poured a bottle of fine wine for Blackbeard, and he laughed after drinking it.
"Zehahahaha~ That's right. Money, women, and power are what a pirate should pursue. Are there any more new beauties?"
"Oh, stop it. Aren't the three of us enough for you, Captain?" the beauties teased.
"How are three enough? Give me at least ten, zehahahaha~."
