At night, in the remote Sava tavern, there are people from all walks of life.
The smell of the man's sweat mixed with the smell of the cheap perfume of the fashionable girl was like a biochemical weapon gas attacking the nasal cavity.
But the people who drink here completely ignore this. They are either rough guys working hard in the city, or sailors making a living at sea. The place where they work on weekdays may have a stronger smell than here.
They are all people at the bottom.
"Brother Molip, let's become pirates!"
"Yes, with our three brothers' abilities, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves at sea."
There were three young people sitting at a wooden table, and the topics they discussed could be said to be commonplace for young people with dreams in these years.
In recent years, thanks to the words of the former Pirate King ONEPIECE, it seems that becoming a pirate who licks blood on the edge of the sea is as romantic as a man with dreams, and there are endless numbers of people who want to go to sea.
The three Molip brothers are street gangsters in this small town who have such a dream.
"Maybe in the future, we can find the great secret treasure of the Pirate King and become the new Pirate King!"
The three of them became more and more excited as they talked, and one of them even slapped the table and stood up and said loudly.
"Pfft~"
And these words caused the guests at the other table to laugh.
The expressions of the three people changed. Young people of their age couldn't stand it more than others looking down on them.
Of course, if the person who laughed was a tall and strong man, then they might just swallow it.
However, after turning around to look for a reputation, they found out that it was just a drunk kid, and they immediately surrounded him.
"Hey, brat, it was you who was laughing at us just now, wasn't it?"
Brother Molip's dick reached out and grabbed the little drunkard's collar, and started questioning him directly.
"No, I just thought of something funny, and I wasn't laughing at you."
"Something funny? Come on, tell us three brothers. If you can't make us brothers laugh after you say it, then don't blame us for beating you!"
“Okay, then I’ll tell you this joke.
Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted to find all kinds of treasures in the world. After he witnessed the execution of Roger, the Pirate King, he came up with the idea of inheriting ONEPIECE.
However, he knew that his abilities were limited, so he gave up his original dream of treasure hunting and prepared to help another capable guy to become the king of the sea.
But let me tell you, when the guy who gave up on his dream expressed this idea to the capable guy, he got a rejection from the other party.
Do you know what he said? "
"What?"
The three Molip brothers frowned and asked.
"He said that he changed his mind and that he was not going to find ONEPIECE anymore. Hahaha, tell me, is this funny?"
"Is this funny?"
Brother Molip asked the second brother, who then looked at the third brother.
"That's not funny at all."
The third brother Molip shook his head.
"Boy, are you kidding us?"
"No, it's just that the joke hasn't been finished yet."
"Okay, then keep talking."
"The two guys parted ways on bad terms, and the guy who gave up on his dream has always been grudges about it.
One day, while he was getting drunk in a shabby tavern, he suddenly heard the three gangsters next to him saying that they might find ONEPIECE in the future and might become the new Pirate King. He couldn't help but think of the one who changed his mind. Guy.
Let me ask you a question, do you think the guy who changed his mind and gave up on becoming the King of the Sea is not as good as those three bastards? "
"What all this nonsense?"
Brother Molip frowned. He didn't have many brain cells and couldn't understand these convoluted things.
"Brother, this brat seems to be calling us rotten fish and rotten shrimps in a roundabout way?!"
Brother Molip thought for a while and then suddenly came back to his senses.
"That's right, Uncle Ben Baki is calling you a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps!"
The next moment, a fist was printed directly on the opponent's nose.
"ah!"
The man in pain let go of his hand, and before the other two brothers could react, Bucky hit the chubby third brother on the head with a wine bottle.
"You guy!"
Brother Molip was furious.
"Come on, if you want to eat Uncle Bucky's fists, then Uncle Bucky wouldn't mind giving you a few punches as a gift."
Bucky was swaying, making a boxer's punching motion, and then was knocked over by a wooden table thrown towards him.
The three Molip brothers swarmed him, punched and kicked him, and even picked up chairs and wine bottles and smashed them on the boy who was holding his head on the ground.
I don’t know how long the fight lasted before the boss stepped forward and stopped: "You three, don’t go too far. If you kill someone here and cause me trouble, don’t blame me for doing it to you!"
"Sava, you bastard said..."
Molip stopped and stupefied what he said, because the tavern owner Sava had already picked up a short blunderbuss and pointed the muzzle at him.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
***, now that I have run away for you, will you come back? I drank some horse urine last night and I no longer know who I am. I actually went to provoke the three Molip brothers. Do you know that if I hadn’t stopped them, You were beaten to death by them last night? ! "
"Ha, how is this possible? I was once a crew member on One Piece's ship."
"Heh, a ghost crew member who doesn't even have any bounty?"
Sava didn't believe the words of this kid who was always talking about running a train. There were no fool bounty hunters in the past. Because of this guy's words, he took him to the Navy to collect the reward.
As a result, the bounty was not received, and the navy immediately regarded them as guys who wanted to throw half of their own ghosts into the navy cells to make a living, and kicked them out.
"That's because the Navy has no vision and doesn't give Lord Bucky a big bounty!"
Bucky said this and spread his hands.
"Anyway, I don't have any money now, so I can't pay off the debt. Boss Sava, you can just do whatever you want."
He acted rogue.
"If you don't have any money, then stay with me and work to pay off the debt!"
"Boss Savoie, you know that Bucky will never serve others!"
Even if Bucky dies, he will not become a bartender.
"It's another job. I see you know a lot about navigation. I happen to have some maritime transportation work here and I need someone who knows navigation to do it."
"This is not bad, how much will you give me?"
"Just make a trip and all your debts with me will be cancelled."
"Only twenty thousand beli?"
"You kid, don't you think you are too young? Some old captains who know how to sail can only travel a few days on a ship. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, how would you be able to do the work?"
"Okay, then when will you need me to go out to sea and run a boat?"
"It's just been in the past few days, but I'll say something ugly first. This ship transportation mission is very important. If your hands and feet are not clean, you may be thrown into the sea."
"Ha, Uncle Bucky, am I the kind of person who does petty theft?"
【Yes I will! 】
"Hey, old man Sava, who is the guy who asked you to transport such a large amount of supplies?"
Seeing various supplies worth at least five million beli being moved to several small ships, Bucky couldn't help but ask questions.
As a pirate, Bucky was a little tempted by the treasures called various supplies.
"JD Association, you guys must have never heard of it, but they are an organization that specializes in giving hope to guys like you.
Bucky, I don’t know what you have been through. Maybe it’s just like what you said. You were a trainee crew member on the Pirate King’s ship. You were hit hard by the death of your captain, and you became as decadent as you are now.
But I want to tell you, look forward. If your captain is still alive, he will definitely not want to see you in such a decadent state. He will also want to see you have a better and happier future. "
Bucky: "..."
Two years have passed since Roger, the Pirate King, was executed. Bucky, who was devastated because Shanks changed his mind and did not intend to inherit the captain's legacy, came into contact with the JD Society because of a fight while working to pay off debts.
When he first ran the transport ship, Bucky had the idea of stealing the cargo and the ship together. However, because he was still in a confused period, and thinking of the boss of Sava who treated him well, Bucky did not choose to take action in the end.
Later, because the remuneration given by the JD Association was pretty good, at least it was better than making money by doing some hard work, so Bucky joined the JD Association and became a captain who ran a transport ship for them.
Buck basically just wanted to hang out, but while hanging around he became the captain of a transport fleet. During this period, he was influenced by some ideas of the JD Association, and his desire to become a pirate became weaker and weaker.
[What exactly does the captain want me to do? Perhaps, when the captain disbanded the pirate group, he just wanted us people to live like ordinary people, right? ! 】
Just when Bucky was about to give up the idea of becoming a pirate completely
However, half a year after going to sea, the three Molip brothers who once beat him half to death took the pirate boss who had taken refuge and attacked the island that was originally his hometown.
"Captain Bucky, that's the flag of the Hammer Pirates. Their boss is Hammer Lark, who has a bounty of 8 million beli. Let's turn the ship around and escape."
Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, but looking at the island burning in flames in the distance, Bucky felt an inexplicable feeling of anger.
"Escape, why are you running away? Follow me back to save people!"
Bucky made this decision impulsively, and the result was that the sailors in the fleet he led fell into trouble.
"I thought it was the navy who came to kill me, but I didn't expect it was you, a brat. By chance, our brothers have burned down the tavern in Savoie, so we just need to chop you up and feed it to the fish!"
The words of the three Molip brothers angered him, and Bucky used the Split Fruit ability that he hated. In the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest sea, even if his Split Fruit ability is not developed much, it is still invincible to ordinary pirates. With his existence, he chopped down the entire Hammer Pirates alone.
The three Molip brothers were killed, and Captain Lark, who had a bounty of 8 million Baileys on his head from the Hammer Pirates, was also beheaded.
Bucky looked at the tavern covered in flames and noticed the look of horror in the eyes of some of the rescued townspeople looking at him, and he knew that his ordinary life was about to disappear.
The people living here in the East China Sea have little knowledge. To them, Devil Fruit users are really like monsters.
"Forget it, I'm not really suitable to be an ordinary person anyway..."
After a massacre, Bucky, who lost his old acquaintance Sava, seemed to have regained the spirit of himself before he had eaten the Devil Fruit.
"Oh world, you great pirate Captain Bucky, I'm back!"
Before he could say this, Bucky was slapped hard on the back.
"Hey, Bucky boy, I didn't expect you to be so powerful and actually wipe out the Hammer Pirates!"
"Hey, Sava, you old bastard is not dead?"
"No matter what you say, I will not die even if you die. When they attacked, I ran away with my belongings!"
Bucky knew that what Sava was telling lies was a lie. As a senior member of the JD Association on this island, Sava appeared to be a tavern owner, but in reality he was an external receptionist who recruited people to join the gang.
In addition, when unfair things happen, this guy will occasionally act as peacemaker and maintain a general sense of fairness and order.
But this time, looking at the person with weapons following the other party, he should have taken the island's association members and hid with weapons before the pirates came, preparing to fight in the alleyway with the pirates.
"That's fine, I'm getting ready to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell to what?"
"I'm going to be a pirate!"
"Snapped!"
Another slap hit him on the back.
"Okay, why are you going to be a pirate?!"
Sava obviously disagrees with Bucky's idea of becoming a pirate.
"You can't change my mind."
"I'm going to recommend you to go to our association's Happy Island for training. If you still want to be a pirate after training, I won't stop you."
After bargaining, Bucky said that he could go to the Happy Island, but he also said that as a crew member on the ship of Roger, the former Pirate King, he would never change his mind.
.
.
"Yes, Mr. JD, I will inherit Captain Roger's legacy and fight for the cause of change in the world in the future!"
Arriving at O'Hara Island, which was renamed [Happiness Island], I met the president behind the JD Society, and heard from his mouth what Captain Roger said when he was executed, about what he really wanted behind the ONEPIECE treasure. The deeper meaning of changing the world.
Just like Struggle B who found his life goal, Bucky completely changed his mind about becoming a pirate and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the reform of the JD Association.
During his career, he became a member of the backbone change force of the O'Hara Island Change Group.
From being a squad leader in charge of one shipping line, he was promoted to a squadron leader in charge of multiple shipping lines. As for the captain, he needs to continue to work hard to improve his own strength.
