Chapter 841: Chapter 517: Buggy, Be the Bait
Beside him was Buggy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...
These Seven Warlords are all clever fellows. Since Sage could cooperate with Doflamingo and other Warlords, Smoker wouldn’t be surprised.
But when two come together...
Norton Sage would never engage in meaningless actions; there must be another secret!
Just as Smoker was about to move, on the top of the tallest building, the host in charge of this celebration banquet began his speech, inviting all pirate crews who wished to compete for the treasure to gather in the Central Sea Region.
Soon, a sky-high ocean current erupted from the Central Sea Region, from which emerged an island wrapped in bubbles. At the top of the island stood a worn-out sunken ship, glittering with golden light visible from below.
The game’s rules stated that first, one must ride the soaring sea current to the island to qualify for the treasure hunt.
But as for these things...
"This is it."
Sage led Buggy to the edge of the island, a little raised slope overlooking the sea, where fishing rods were already prepared!
Before arriving, he’d scouted the area and brought his own fishing rods; originally, he planned to fish here after shopping.
Buggy was a pleasant surprise.
"Hmm? Just one fishing rod?"
Buggy watched Sage walk over, sit down immediately, and cast the rod to start fishing, asking, "What should I do?"
"Just watch."
Sage said, "Stand by my side, and I’ll catch fish!"
Is it really that simple?
Buggy blinked his eyes and obediently stood there, just watching Sage fish.
On the slope, under the sun, the sea breeze gently stirred their hair, cloak, and also swayed Buggy’s captain’s hat.
Until an hour later.
Buggy suddenly touched his nose, closed his eyes with emotion, "I see, is that how it is? Sage, in the East Sea, you should’ve listened to me. It’s not that I’m being narcissistic; it’s due to our identity that we’re unable to reminisce as we’d like. This serene moment, I haven’t experienced in a long time."
He gave Sage a thumbs-up, showing his reflective teeth, "Brother! Rest assured that I, Buggy, will acknowledge you as a true brother!"
How sincere!
A single statement from the East Sea lingered in Sage’s mind until now. Even though he owed Sage a debt of gratitude, he still considered him a friend and brother.
Otherwise, why would he have benefitted from the Big Mom campaign without daring to do anything, yet obtaining money for nothing?
Despite being so focused on wealth, he didn’t even care about losing a batch of cannonballs here.
Now, they’re even reminiscing uniquely through fishing.
After all, he is a Pirate Emperor, a ruler of a powerful nation, quite unlike that lousy fellow Shanks.
This brother, Buggy will definitely acknowledge!
"Buggy..." Sage suddenly turned around, staring at me passionately.
"Brother!" Almost moved to tears, Buggy exclaimed.
"You can be the bait!"
"Alright... Huh?!"
Sage reeled in the fishing line, staring intensely at the hook’s spot, eyes filled with growing excitement.
The bait was gone!
A fish had bitten the hook!
Buggy was effective!
But regular bait didn’t work, so then...
"Help!!"
With feet on the ground and his entire body tied to the wobbling fishing line, Buggy cried out tearfully:
"Help me! Don’t do this, I can’t swim! I’ll pay! I’ll pay a tenfold, no, a hundredfold for that batch of cannonballs!!"
