On the calm sea, floated a small kayak, with the bow shaped like a big red nose.

"Ah hahaha! What a group of loyal brothers. Thanks to them, I was able to slip away so smoothly!"

A sinister smile appeared on Bucky's face, looking at the open sea in front of him, he felt that the road ahead was full of light.

"Captain, what is the origin of that monster-like guy?"

Kabaji, who was wearing a green scarf around his neck, put a long knife on his shoulder.

Even when he ran away, he never forgot to take his unicycle with him.

Behind the two of them, the animal trainer Mochi was combing the white hair on his body, while the lion Liki waved his two paws that served as paddles with an unhappy face, stirring up the sea water to push the kayak forward.

——They were in such a hurry that they forgot to take the oars with them.

"How did I know that such a powerful figure would emerge in the weakest East China Sea!" Bucky clenched his fists, feeling aggrieved.

Mastering the two-color Haki, not only the body defense is amazing, but also the speed is comparable to the Shave in the Sixth Marine Style...

Shouldn't a guy with such strength have already gone to the Grand Line?
How could you be willing to open a restaurant on the sea in this small East China Sea?

How much money can you make?

"Hey, don't worry about others for now. Now that our pirate group and pirate ship are gone, what should we do next?"

Mochi stopped combing his white-haired clothes, lowered his head and let out a heavy sigh.

As if guessing his worries, Bucky's eyes narrowed and a high-spirited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, of course I'm looking for a priceless treasure. I have something good for a comeback!"

With that said, Bucky took out the treasure map traded with Lin Zhi from his arms.

Even if he chooses to escape with great sincerity, even if he forgets to bring the oar, this treasure map is still like a treasure, lying safely in his arms!
Seeing the parchment tightly held by Bucky's white-gloved palm, the eyes of the other cadres instantly lit up.

"As expected of you, Captain Bucky, I didn't expect to still have this hand."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to find valuable treasure!"

"Ho ho ho (without further ado, let's take action now)!"

"But Bucky, are you so sure this treasure map is useful? There aren't that many pirate treasures in the East China Sea."

There was a strange sound among them.

Bucky was completely unaware of this and stared intently at the slightly yellowed treasure map: "You know what the heck, based on my many years of experience in treasure hunting, what this map indicates is definitely an incredible treasure!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in his words.

"That guy Lin Zhi is just a simple-minded idiot. He actually traded such a treasure for a useless cannonball!"

"Really? I think he's quite handsome." A strange voice came from behind again.

When Bucky heard this kind of remarks that inflated other people's ambitions and destroyed his own prestige, Bucky became angry at the time. He turned around and scolded him:
"Now that we have all fallen into this situation, what can we do if we don't have a positive and optimistic attitude!! Lin Zhi!!!"

After seeing clearly the disgusting face of the speaker, Bucky and the other cadres were immediately frightened to the point where their appearance suddenly changed.

Especially when I saw Lin Zhi, who could actually ignore gravity and stand so lightly on the sea level, I was even more shocked.

What the hell is this monster!
"Good afternoon, Bucky."

The sun shone on Lin Zhi's bright smiling face, making it look particularly warm.

Gollum.

Under the sparkling sea, a bubble emerged, bursting and opening after breaking out of the water.

Looking along Lin Zhi's feet soaked in the sea, you can see long blue hair spread out, rising and falling with the waves.

Lin Zhi smiled happily on the sea surface, and Aqua also smiled happily under the sea surface.

As an unruly and noble goddess, Aqua was unwilling to do this even if she wanted to kill her at first.

However, after Lin Zhi promised that the matter was over, he purchased a batch of sparkling wine in Orange Town and held a banquet to celebrate King's joining.

This shameless goddess immediately changed her face at the speed of light and said she was very happy to help!

"Hey, good afternoon, Lin Zhi."

Bucky said hello normally with a smile on his face, and the next second he raised his leg suddenly, pressing the mechanism hidden in the shoe with his toes, "Fuck Bucky, you bastard!"

huh~
The mini-cannonball flew past Lin Zhi's side and exploded into a flame on the sea farther away.

"That's it, as a etiquette for meeting again, fireworks must be indispensable, aha, ahaha."

Bucky, who missed the shot, scratched his head and laughed.

Lin Zhi, who was attracted by the attractive bounty on this guy, rolled up his sleeves and started doing it, regardless of the price.

Bucky and his gang tried to run away, and their lofty ambition to rise again through treasure hunting came to an end before it even started.

……

As the sun sets, a naval warship slowly sails into the port of Orange Town.

"We already understand the matter. Thank you very much for your contribution to the security of the town and the work of the Navy!"

The navy commander, wearing a navy hat and a white cape, made a standard salute to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi glanced at the Bucky Pirates who were tied up not far away, and replied calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the bounty is in place."

"Forehead……"

Such a straightforward answer left the young officer speechless, "Please don't worry about this."

After capturing Bucky and other cadres, Lin Zhi asked Mayor Bootle to contact the nearest navy branch.

Although you need to pay more handling fees than taking it to collect the bounty yourself, it can save a lot of time.

Sailing on the sea with the cunning Bucky, you might cause some unexpected trouble!

The ones currently on the bounty list of the Buggy Pirates are naturally Buggy, the captain, and Kabaji and other cadres.

Except for the 50-beli bounty of Lion Liki, which was ignored, the amount Lin Zhi received from the navy this time totaled 1430 million beri.

That's quite a fortune given the current situation!

"Then, please continue to support our navy's work in the future!"

The young navy commander once again expressed his gratitude to Lin Zhi and others, then turned around to greet the accompanying sailors and escorted the Bucky Pirates onto the warship.

"Lin Zhi! You damn bastard, wait for me. When I come out, I will definitely settle this account with you!"

Bucky, whose hands and feet were bound by the hemp rope, was furious and turned around to yell at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi was very indifferent to this, with a smile on his face, and raised his arms to say goodbye: "Then, goodbye Captain Bucky on the Grand Line."

"Don't worry, by then you should know what the consequences will be if you provoke the terrifying Captain Bucky!"

Bucky's face was extremely gloomy.As the last pirate was escorted onto the warship, the sailors put away the moving ladder, set sail, and embarked on their way back to the branch.

Aqua looked at the naval warships that were gradually moving away. Thinking of what Lin Zhi had just said to Bucky, Aqua's delicate brows wrinkled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

"Lin Zhi, wasn't that big red nose kidnapped by the navy? Why did you still say you'd meet again on the Grand Line?"

"Because the prison in Donghai cannot trap that guy." Lin Zhi said matter-of-factly.

Even the deep sea prison Impel Down City, where Magellan is stationed, can't lock up the cunning Bucky, let alone the small East China Sea branch prison.

"Ah? Is that guy so powerful?"

Aqua was surprised for a moment, and soon a new question popped up, "In that case, why don't you get the treasure map back from him? If there is really a treasure, wouldn't we be in a big loss?"

She wasn't very interested in treasure hunting or anything like that, but thinking that the treasures could be exchanged for a lot of fine wine, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain.

Seeing that this idiot goddess finally thought about the problem seriously, Lin Zhi showed a hint of relief on his face and explained with a smile: "The map I gave to Bucky is actually the map pointing to the 106th branch of the Navy."

"Navy Branch 106 is similar to the place where we went to exchange for bounty, right?"

Aqua lowered her head in thought, and after a few seconds, she exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there would be treasures in such a shabby place?!"

"..."

Looking at those aqua blue eyes full of wisdom, Lin Zhi's face was covered with countless black lines: "Aqua, are you serious?"

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden? This goddess has always been super serious, right?"

Aqua tilted her head and wondered why.

At this time, the king next to him more or less guessed the cause and effect through the conversation between the two, and stood up and whispered: "Well, Mr. Lin Zhi probably meant that he gave the other party a fake treasure map, right?"

This just right explanation made Lin Zhi cry with joy: It turned out to be such a happy feeling to have a partner with normal thinking!
"Huh? In other words, you prepared two fake treasure maps?!"

The words awakened the god from his dream, and Aqua was stunned on the spot, only feeling a pain in her head.

She seems to be growing a brain...

"Aqua, when dealing with bandits and pirates, my bottom line is very flexible," Lin Zhi said.

"In other words, there is no bottom line." Aqua's understanding ability in this regard is quite strong.

"You can say that, after all, they had no bottom line in the first place." Lin Zhi did not deny it.

These two guys don't look like serious people...

The king next to him was silent, suddenly feeling like he was on a pirate ship.

Mayor Bootle, who was standing behind, was even more hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

In the end, it was Lin Zhi who took the initiative to raise the issue of compensation.

Because of the design of store fronts such as bookstores and pet shops, according to Bootle's rough statistics, the floods summoned by Aqua caused economic losses of nearly 500 million beli to the town.

Combined with the originally agreed upon 600 million remuneration, only more than 100 million Baileys were left in Lin Zhi's hands.

Although it was a bit insignificant compared to the 1000 million 400 million received for capturing the Bucky Pirates, Lin Zhi was still very satisfied.

After all, this amount was enough for him to earn from operating a restaurant in Windmill Village for nearly a year!
After settling the compensation issue, Lin Zhiben wanted to set sail and start a new journey, but he couldn't resist the warm invitation of Mayor Bootle. In the end, he stayed in Orange Town and participated in the celebration held by the townspeople to drive away the Bucky Pirates. Large banquet.

It just so happens that we can throw the party we promised Aqua together.

As the sun in the west completely set over the mountains, the central square of Orange Town lit up with bright flames.

As the banquet goddess, Aqua won waves of applause with her superb talent performance. She quickly became involved with the simple townspeople and became a well-deserved protagonist.

In matters as trivial as banquet performances, even Lin Zhi had to admit that this guy still has two brushes, ah no, two fans!

"Everywhere is filled with chaos and blood, and countless strong people compete for the ultimate secret treasure in the great pirate era. I didn't expect that I would travel to such a world..."

In an inconspicuous corner of the square, King sighed heavily after learning about the general situation of the pirate world from Lin Zhi.

Not so scared, because after all, he comes from a one-punch world where weirdos are rampant.

Just thinking that as an ordinary person, I would have to take risks in such a dangerous world in the future, the sorrow in my heart gushes out like a flood, filling my entire domineering face.

"Actually, it's not bad. Your luck is one of the best in this world."

"If you're lucky, maybe you can attract a group of strong men who will swear their loyalty to you to the death?"

Lin Zhi took a sip of the cold beer on the table and looked up at the starry night sky above his head.

This sentence seems to be comforting the king, but it is actually comforting himself.

Late at night, the lively banquet finally came to an end.

Of course, Aqua got drunk again, lying on the harbor and spitting out a large number of brightly colored rainbows.

Lin Zhi had long been accustomed to this, so he walked over and picked up Aqua, who had vomited completely, and walked to the Infinite Dream docked on the shore.

King looked at the rainbows floating on the sea in amazement. He was stunned for more than ten seconds and still couldn't figure out the principle of this.

Seeing Lin Zhi, who was carrying Aqua on his back, gradually disappearing, he gave up his irrelevant curiosity and followed her.

At dawn the next day, Lin Zhi, who got up early, put away the anchor of the Infinite Dream and prepared to go to the next destination.

The next wishing condition in the wishing well is [3000 million Baileys + one Devil Fruit]. The previous Bailey is still the same, so I can say that it is nothing more than catching a few more pirates with bounties on it.

With his current strength, not only can he walk sideways in the East China Sea, but there is still no problem in catching some pirates.

The key point is Devil Fruit, which is hard to come by. Even in the underground black market, the guaranteed price starts at hundreds of millions. The difficulty of getting it is far beyond Bucky's bomb.

Lin Zhi didn't want to enter the great shipping route that was full of dangers too early, so he could only accumulate wealth in the East China Sea and try his luck.

If he only had a weak partner like Aqua, he would never dare to think about luck.

But now that a king with incredible luck has joined the team, he can't help but feel a little more confident.

That’s right, now I dare to think about it!

In the absence of a clear goal, Lin Zhi's chosen destination naturally gave priority to the original work.

In addition to personally experiencing the familiar scenes in the original work, if conditions permit, you can also save some regrettable people and things.

And now, the closest to them is Cocoa West Village located in the west of Zhumeida Island!
Before leaving, Bootle brought the townspeople of Orange Town to the shore to give their benefactor the warmest farewell.

After Bootle's explanation and Aqua's vigorous promotion last night, the townspeople knew about the Axis Cult, which believed in the goddess of water, and were very happy to join this cult that brought peace and joy to their town.

So, the warmest way to say goodbye is naturally...

"The teachings of the Axis Cult!"

"First, as long as Axis believers are serious, they can do anything..."
