The members of the Buggy Pirates collectively took a step back.
"Ah ha ha ha..." Bucky laughed dryly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then asked sternly: "How could you possibly know him?!"
Nami interrupted at the right time: "Darren Eric is a pirate from the East China Sea. You don't know this, right?"
"..." After a few seconds of silence, Bucky shouted calmly: "That doesn't prove that you know 'Kui Long'!"
"Furthermore, even if you know him..." Bucky showed a sinister and evil smile and said something that made Nami's hair stand on end: "He is now thousands of miles away in the new world, and he will never know who killed you!"
"——!"
"Ah..." Xiaoba took out the phone and dialed: "The call was connected..."
"..." Everyone present fell silent.
Nami praised angrily in her heart: 'Great job! '
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Nu~ It's me..." Xiaoba replied.
"Xiaoba?"
"New~" Xiao Hachi said: "Nami and I were captured by a pirate group."
"Is there anyone in the East China Sea who is your opponent?" Eric was quite surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Hachi glanced at Bucky, who raised his index finger in a "shush" gesture, and said, "They are the "Bucky Pirates" of the East China Sea."
"The red nose?"
"Who are you calling red-nosed!?" Bucky yelled angrily, with blood rushing to his head: "Believe it or not, I'll give you to—"
"Oh, it's Bucky's voice."
"...!" Bucky opened his eyes wide, crystal clear snot flowed out of his round red nostrils, and then secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Eric asked aloud: "That little girl with orange hair, is she okay?"
Bucky answered the phone bug and picked up the phone: "Ah, yes."
"I got stabbed by Bucky-!" Nami started yelling.
"Shhhhh-!"
Eric asked, "Did you steal Bucky's things?"
"...Yes." Nami lowered her voice unconsciously.
"You asked for this, right? I'll teach you a lesson. Don't steal the treasures of these big pirates in the future."
"Yes!" Bucky nodded repeatedly.
"You are too young. Wait until you are eighteen or an adult before you steal Bucky's treasure."
"That's right..." At this time, Bucky suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "You can't steal my treasure even if you are eighteen years old!"
"Sorry, Bucky, for my sake, let them both go..."
"..." Bucky was startled.
"Hey!" Bucky's men asked in astonishment: "You can actually get the Four Emperors to talk to you. Who is Captain Bucky?"
"..." Bucky showed a smug smile and gestured to himself twice with his thumb: "Of course, I am a legendary figure!"
"This guy really shines with a little sunshine..." A woman's voice came from the phone bug.
There was so much noise on Bucky's side that no one heard the complaint.
"How about it?"
"Since you are so sincere, then I will let them both go..."
"Wait a minute!" Kabaji, the dog-headed strategist, stopped Bucky and said, "We can't let them go so easily!"
"B-but..." Bucky widened his eyes. He knew exactly how much he weighed.
Kabaji said righteously: "Captain Bucky, we want to ask for compensation!"
"..."
"The one who came up with this bad idea was the unicyclist...who is that?"
"My name is Kabaji!" Veins bulged on Kabaji's forehead.
"Are you...sure you want to do this?"
The pressure from the superior made Kabaji's knees weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"No, not sure..."
Eric solicited: "Bucky, do you want to come work here?"
"Are you kidding!" Bucky sternly refused: "Even if it is the Four Emperors, I will not become his subordinate!"
"That's really a pity..."
"How much Kui Long recognizes your strength, Captain Bucky!"
"Hahaha...!" Bucky pinched his waist with both hands, his round nose almost turned into Pinocchio's long nose, and said arrogantly: "My name is resounding throughout the world!"
"Haha..." Eric chuckled and said, "Do you need me to tell Morgans, the president of World Economic News, that you are an intern of the Roger Pirates, so that you can become famous? "
"Pfft!" Bucky choked, and immediately jumped out from the crowd, asking with a trembling voice: "Where did you learn about this?!"
"Oh, I have met 'Pluto' Rayleigh, and 'Red-haired' Shanks... they told me." Eric lied back.
"So that's it..." Bucky clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "That damn Shanks is just causing me trouble...!"
"Once you are listed in the World Economic News, you will be successfully selected into the eyes of the Navy Headquarters because you are a crew member of the Roger Pirates..."
Bucky whispered, "Please don't do it!"
"So, can you guarantee the safety of Nami and Xiaoba?" Eric said, "In return, I will save you once in the future."
'Anyway, I don't have much to lose. If I let these two people go, I can hook up with a Yonko. This deal will definitely make a profit...' Bucky thought for a moment and then agreed: "I will let them go, accordingly. Yes, you are not allowed to tell this secret!"
As for the life-saving grace Eric promised, it was naturally the future Impelton Prison. There were many strong men and many excellent devil fruits in it. Eric would have to go there sooner or later.
"That's it." Eric said and hung up the phone.
When Bucky came back, he cleared his throat, called his younger brother and said, "Let them go!"
"Captain Bucky!" Kabaji shouted.
Bucky boasted: "That guy Kui Long begged me so humbly, I can't help but offend him."
"Captain Bucky!" Bucky's men's eyes sparkled.
A pirate in a clown costume helped Nami untie the rope from her wrist: "You are lucky!"
"Ugh——" Nami endured the pain and reached out to cover the wound to stop the bleeding.
"Ship doctor, treat their injuries!" Bucky cursed and said, "Don't die from excessive blood loss and then blame it on me!"
"snort!"
"Also, where did you hide my treasure?"
"I won't tell you!" Nami, a money-grubber who regards wealth as her life, how could she confess so easily.
"New~" Xiaoba said: "Your treasures are all hidden under the water."
"Xiaoba!"
"Nu~" Xiaoba lowered his head and said, "Nami, your life is more important."
"..." Nami curled her lips and lowered her head, her short orange hair covering her face.
"Oh, this fishman brother is more sensible!" Bucky laughed, waving his hands and saying, "Young men, get the treasure for me!"
After bandaging the wound, Nami came to Xiaoba silently.
The two of them were walking on the deserted street, and Hachi murmured: "I'm sorry, Nami, I'm so useless..."
"..." After two or three seconds of silence, Nami smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have come to steal the Bucky Pirates."
Xiaoba had a naive expression and said, "Nu~ Just don't be angry."
Nami cursed in a low voice: "What an idiot..."
"By the way, we also want to thank Mr. Eric."
"Yes, really..." Nami was a little reluctant. After all, she still owed Eric a huge sum of money and was rescued just now.
"Nu~ Sir Eric, we are free." Xiaoba started talking about the situation of the two of them.
"You are not injured?"
"Nami was stabbed once, and I was stabbed once in the back. It was nothing serious."
"..." Eric was quiet for a moment and said, "Give the phone bug to Nami."
"Nu~Yes."
Nami reluctantly took the phone and said, "Well..."
"Are you stupid?!" Eric cursed loudly: "Don't you know how dangerous pirates are!?"
"..." The sudden rebuke made Nami freeze in place.
"Do you want to see Bellemere and Nozhiko feel sorry for you?!"
"..." Nami was unusually quiet. After a long time, she whispered back: "I'm sorry."
Eric suddenly asked: "Is it because of the debt of 100 million Baileys that you decided to target the pirates?"
After hesitating for a long time, Nami answered frankly: "...Yes."
"You are also lucky to meet a pirate who has heard of my name." Eric said seriously: "In the future, you are not allowed to target pirates with bounties exceeding 10 million."
"Who are you not mine!?" Nami's rebellious temper broke out and she choked angrily: "Why should I listen to you!?"
Eric used his pirate characteristics and threatened: "Because, Cocoa Nishi Village is in my hands."
"...!" Nami said in a trembling voice: "Please, don't hurt them..."
"Then be obedient!" Eric finally ordered Xiaoba to keep an eye on Nami and not let her do stupid things, and finally hung up the phone.
"Nami..."
"Huh..." Nami breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and said, "I'm fine."
"I also want to save Cocoyasi Village!"
"Let's go, I'll find other ways to make a fortune!"
…
Eric muttered: "A little girl doesn't study well all day long."
Reijiu smiled softly: "You are worried about her personal safety, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry."
"Can you tell?" Eric was startled.
"Of course." Reijiu shrugged and said casually: "From the sound of her voice, she should be a beautiful girl."
"What you said is as if I fall in love with everyone I see..."
"Isn't it?" Reiju asked.
"Ahem!" Eric cleared his throat and changed the subject: "How is the clone experiment conducted by your father and Leonardo da Vinci going?"
Reijiu did not continue to struggle with the previous issue and explained: "The clone of 'Jhin' Abel is being copied, but it will take five years to fully grow..."
"Make as many as you can," Eric added.
Reiju carefully considered her words: "...Well, making a clone of Abel requires a lot of money."
"How much?" Eric had bad thoughts in his mind.
"Five hundred million Baileys for a clone."
