One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 112: Digging a Pit!

"This is... 'I have arrived here, and I will guide this text to the final island. Gol D. Roger.' How is this possible?" After softly reading out the contents of the rubbing, Nico Robin covered her mouth in disbelief.

"The final island, Raftel. A place that only those with a special aptitude can possibly reach. Red-Haired Shanks traveled more than half the world before finding such a person. He gave Captain Roger's hat to him. I have also met that kid. He is indeed the second person after Captain Roger who could possibly reach the final island and become the second Pirate King," Buggy specifically emphasized the words "straw hat."

"Is this the choice I have to face?" Nico Robin finally understood what Buggy meant by the choice she had to make.

"That's right. I've told you so much information just to see what choice you'll make. Now that I've said what needs to be said, it's time for me to leave," after speaking, Buggy stood up.

"Wait, I still have many things I don't understand," Nico Robin also stood up and reached out to stop Buggy.

"Nico Robin, knowing too much without sufficient strength is very dangerous. This is already the limit of what I can tell you. If I didn't want to satisfy some of my own curiosities, I wouldn't have even come to see you. Let's leave it at that. I still have to go see your boss. I think he's getting a bit impatient," pushing away Nico Robin's hand, Buggy walked directly downstairs.

Leading his people away from Robin's residence and walking outside the city of Rainbase, Buggy saw Crocodile, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Can you tell me now?" Crocodile asked the approaching Buggy.

"The Poneglyph that records the Ancient Weapon Pluton is indeed hidden somewhere in this country. You already know this. But have you ever considered one thing: after eight or nine hundred years of wind and frost, can the Ancient Weapon still be used?" Buggy said something that shocked Crocodile.

"You really do know a lot of things. But it's impossible for me to give up," Crocodile said grimly.

"I didn't tell you to give up. I just wanted to say, instead of wasting your efforts to find a pile of junk that might not be usable, why not choose a simpler method from the very beginning?" Buggy said with a hint of temptation.

"A simpler method? You bastard, what are you trying to say?" Crocodile stared at Buggy without blinking and asked.

"What I want to say is, regarding the Ancient Weapon Pluton, what you're probably interested in is only its main cannon, which can destroy an island with a single shot. The warship itself is not of much use to you, am I right?"

To Buggy's words, Crocodile said nothing, just continued to stare at him.

"Alright, I'll just be direct. I know where the blueprints for the Ancient Weapon Pluton are. I think this should be more useful to you, am I right?" Looking at Crocodile, Buggy smiled with great confidence.

"Conditions!" After a brief moment of thought, Crocodile finally said in a deep voice.

"When I give the signal, you have to stand up and support me," Buggy was also decisive and answered directly.

"Deal! But only after I've confirmed you're not lying." After considering for a moment, Crocodile agreed. After all, the title of Warlord of the Sea meant about the same to him as it did to Buggy; it was just a title that could be used.

"In the Grand Line, Water 7. The blueprints are in the hands of Iceburg, who has just become the mayor. Hmm, there's something else I should tell you. The World Government's spies have already infiltrated his circle long ago. It's the agency permanently stationed on the judicial island, CP9. That's all the intelligence I can provide." Buggy stopped here.

"Mm, got it. You can go now," nodding, Crocodile immediately issued an order for them to leave.

"I say, Crocodile, aren't you interested in knowing what I want you to support me on?" Buggy didn't leave but instead asked Crocodile in return.

"A piece of information in exchange for verbal support. As long as your information isn't false, I don't care even if it's to oppose the World Government. Support is just support; it doesn't represent anything else," Crocodile was quite open-minded.

"Your words are enough. Then please pay attention to the recent newspapers. Mates, let's go!" After speaking, Buggy waved his large hand, and the group of people headed directly back to the "Thor."

Not far after leaving Rainbase, Fujitora spoke up and asked Buggy, "Captain, your plan has already begun, hasn't it?"

"Ah, yes it has!" Nodding, Buggy replied while strolling through the desert.

"It's a little different from what I imagined. I thought you would use a more direct method," Fujitora had been by Buggy's side and had naturally heard what he said to Crocodile.

"Crocodile is the first step of this plan. The purpose of this step is not just to use the blueprints of the Ancient Weapon to stir up trouble between the two sides, but to have Crocodile attract attention. For the Five Elders, there are very few things in this world that can touch their bottom line. The Void Century is one, and the Ancient Weapons are another. No matter who it is, as long as they make a move on Iceburg, it will absolutely make the Five Elders furious. I'm not sure to what extent the matter will escalate, but there's at least one thing for sure: they will revoke Crocodile's Warlord title. And as long as the Five Elders do that, my goal will be achieved," Buggy explained to Fujitora unhurriedly.

"But Captain, Crocodile is no fool. Even if he can't see that the Ancient Weapons are the Five Elders' bottom line, he can definitely imagine that once he joins the fight for the Pluton blueprints, his Warlord title will certainly not be safe. Not only that, but he will also definitely have a direct confrontation with the World Government. Would he be that stupid?" Paula expressed strong doubt that Crocodile would obediently step into the trap designed by her captain.

"He understands that he has no other choice. I have already told him that I know about the Poneglyph that records the Ancient Weapon Pluton. So if he doesn't do as I've set up, I will directly expose the fact that Nico Robin can read the ancient text and that the Poneglyph with the location of the Ancient Weapon Pluton is hidden in Alabasta. At that time, not only will he have no chance to snatch the blueprints, but he will also be directly driven out of Alabasta by the power of the World Government. He is a smart man. He already understands my meaning and knows what to do." Buggy was very confident about this. After all, how could a scheming hero capable of plotting to usurp a country be so stupid as to not see through such a small trick?

"Then Captain, will you use this method for the next few Warlords?" Shiliew was very afraid that there would be no battles left for him, so he asked with some concern.
