Chapter 175

Chapter 175

"It's possible to give it another push, but it can't be us who do it. Don't worry, when the time is right, someone will be happy to stand up and do it. All we need to do now is concentrate on preparing for the wedding and then quietly wait for the situation to change," shaking his head, Buggy understood the principle of "going too far is as bad as not going far enough."

He couldn't let the Five Elders sense the three traps he had spent so many years setting up just because of impatience.

Take it slow. I have plenty of time anyway. Dripping water penetrates the stone. One day, I will be able to exhaust the resources of the World Government.

Just as Hancock was about to say something else, a sound suddenly rang out.

Buru buru buru, buru buru buru. Taking out the Den Den Mushi from her pocket, Hancock picked up the receiver.

"Moshi moshi, Big Sis. The patrolling warrior just reported that the pirate crew Brother Buggy has been paying attention to recently has suddenly appeared in the White Sea. They probably came up following the Knock Up Stream from the Blue Sea," Sandersonia's voice sounded from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"The Straw Hat Pirates? Brother Buggy, do you want to see them?" After hearing Sandersonia's words, Hancock asked Buggy.

"Yes. Have Sandersonia send someone on my behalf to invite them to the Sky Island," after thinking for a moment, Buggy finally replied.

"Understood, Brother Buggy!" After speaking, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

At the same time, in the White Sea, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just arrived in this magical sea area by riding the Knock Up Stream, were marveling at the wonders of creation.

Without the courage to risk one's life, who would believe that there was such an ocean in the sky?

Following the sea route, the Going Merry was slowly sailing forward. The group, who was preparing for an adventure, had no idea that they had already been discovered as soon as they arrived in this sea area.

On the Going Merry, Captain Monkey D. Luffy was currently thanking a beautiful young girl.

"I say, Nami, you were a really big help just now. If it weren't for your advice, we would have been in danger. Why don't you join us too?" The carefree smile made his surrounding companions speechless.

"Yes, Nami-swan! Join our pirate crew! I will definitely protect you well," a blond man with curly eyebrows said in a very gentlemanly manner.

"No way. Didn't we agree at the beginning? I'm just hitching a ride on your ship to find someone. And you already have a navigator on your ship. I think one navigator is completely sufficient for one ship. I have my own dreams and a debt of gratitude that I must repay. I can't join you," shaking her head, Nami immediately rejected Luffy's proposal.

"Eh! How boring," after being rejected, Luffy pouted and said.

Just as the people beside them were about to say something, a figure riding a skateboard modified with a Sky Shell appeared in the sight of the Straw Hat Pirates.

With a sudden burst of jet power, the person suddenly leaped up. After a high somersault, they landed on the Going Merry.

"You are the Straw Hat Pirates, right?" the person asked Luffy's group.

"Yeah! I'm Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy immediately stood up and said.

"Then there's no mistake. I am here on behalf of Lord Buggy to invite you to the Sky Island," the person nodded and continued.

"Lord Buggy? Could it be the great pirate Buggy with the 'Red Nose' title?" The first to react was not someone else, but the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monet, who had once refused Buggy.

And hearing Monet's question, everyone's eyes focused on the person who had arrived.

"Of course. Besides that lord, who else could it be?" the person replied with great pride.

"The great pirate Red-Nosed Buggy, a legendary figure. Why would he invite us? Luffy, it seems we need to be careful," the curly-browed blond, Sanji, said while thinking, completely oblivious to the astonished expressions of the other crew members.

After Sanji finished speaking and saw that no one was responding to him, he finally realized that everyone, including Nami who was not a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, had a strange expression.

"What's wrong with you all?" Sanji couldn't help but ask.

"Sanji-kun, everyone, although I don't know why this legendary figure would invite us, I have met that legendary figure once before," the first to answer was Nico Robin.

This survivor of Ohara had left Crocodile more than two years ago, but instead of seeking refuge with the Revolutionary Army on Momoiro Island, she had wandered the Grand Line and had only recently joined the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Robin, you've met Captain Buggy too?" The one who spoke in surprise was Chopper.

"Chopper, you've met Captain Buggy too?" Nami also asked in surprise.

"Nami, you've met that person too?" Usopp, standing next to Chopper, also asked with his mouth wide open.

"I've also met that person, but it was many years ago," Roronoa Zoro, after showing a look of surprise, also spoke up.

"What, even you, green algae head, have met that person?" Sanji's brow was twitching at this point.

"I think you shouldn't be asking who has met that person. You should be asking each other who hasn't met that person. Let me tell you, my navigation skills were all learned when that lord sent me to the small sky island, Weatheria," although Monet hadn't followed Buggy for long, she knew very well that Buggy sometimes liked to do special things that made one scratch their head.

And clearly, the fact that most of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates had met this man was definitely not a coincidence.

"Before I went out to sea with you all, I stayed with the Red Nose Pirates for two years. I'm good friends with the Iron-Blooded Baboon and cow 3," Chopper said.

After Chopper finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on him. Even the person who had arrived looked at Chopper in disbelief.

Damn, so there's a little BOSS hidden here!

"More than two years ago, I also met Captain Buggy once. I originally wanted to join the Red Nose Pirates, but unfortunately, Captain Buggy refused me. However, the reason for the refusal traced back to more than a decade ago. He said he had already made a choice back then, and because I was not suitable for infiltrating the Marines, he ultimately chose Paula," at this point, Nico Robin also felt quite regretful.

Alright, if Chopper was a little BOSS, then Nico Robin was no simple character either. After all, she had entered that lord's line of sight more than a decade ago.

Seeing everyone being honest about their past, Luffy also spoke up.

"Speaking of which, I also met Red-Nosed Buggy when I was a kid. Although he brought me good news, he was quite annoying. He only taught Ace how to fight and never paid any attention to me."

Pfft! Now he had heard some intelligence he shouldn't have!

"Uh, excuse me, the Ace you're talking about... is that Portgas D. Ace, the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?" the person, unsure, quickly asked.
