The Roger Pirates' Rising Star

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Shanks and Buggy



"Captain, it's the Evil Wolf Pirates. Their captain is Wolf Weisi, with a bounty of 130 million berries. He's an animal-type devil fruit user!" Just by taking a look at the enemy's pirate flag, Golan immediately provided preliminary intelligence.

"Captain, should we go over and help?" Fang Yi, who had climbed down from the mast, looked at Roger and asked.

"Of course. The Evil Wolf Pirates are an extremely bloodthirsty pirate group. I hope we can make it in time!" Roger put away his smile, nodded, and replied.

"Great!" Hearing this, Fang Yi immediately beamed with joy.

He loved fighting, not only because it helped him gain more combat experience but also because he could earn some points after defeating his opponents.

Yes, ever since he touched the historical text last time and opened the mall interface, he could earn points by defeating his opponents. Depending on the strength of the opponents, he could get a few points at least and more than a dozen or even twenty points at most.

Although the points he got each time were not many, as his strength grew, the strength of the opponents he defeated would also become stronger, and the points he earned would surely increase.

Although he didn't even have enough points for a lottery ticket yet, he was still looking forward to the upcoming battle.

However, when they got closer, they found that the battle was already over. The Evil Wolf Pirates had completed their attack on the merchant ship, and their men were carrying the food and treasures from the merchant ship.

"Peter Mu!" Roger shouted angrily at the sniper Peter Mu.

They had seen the large patches of bright red on the sea around the merchant ship. They knew exactly what it was.

"Bang!" With a gunshot from Peter Mu, a laughing pirate fell to the ground.

"Who's there?" Seeing his subordinate being killed, a burly man full of violent aura roared.

"Captain, it's the Roger Pirates!" A pirate immediately told the burly man.

"The Roger Pirates?" Wolf Weisi squinted his eyes and looked at the Oro Jackson, which had already pulled up alongside. He shouted, "All the stuff here belongs to me! Kid, do you want to start a war with us?"

Roger drew out his long sword from his waist and simply said, "Take them out!"

"Yeah~~" Receiving Captain Roger's order, the crew members all drew out their weapons and got ready for battle.

"Whoosh!" Hearing Roger's order, Fang Yi immediately shot an arrow at the nearest pirate. The pirate fell to the ground, and the supplies he was holding dropped to the ground.

He didn't choose to sneak attack the enemy captain because the chance of success was too small. It was more suitable to deal with the minions.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

Like Fang Yi, the sniper Peter Mu also chose to make a sneak attack at the first moment. However, he targeted the enemy captain, Wolf Weisi. Unfortunately, his confident shot was blocked by one of Weisi's subordinates.

Since both sides had come face to face, a blatant sneak attack usually had little chance of taking out the opponent, unless there was a huge gap in strength between them. That's why Fang Yi didn't go for a sneak - attack on the enemy captain.

"Tch!" Seeing his attack blocked, Peterum pouted, very annoyed.

"You bastards! Guys... take them down for me!" Captain Wolf Wis was extremely angry about Fang Yi and Peterum's sneak attack and directly issued an order to attack.

So the two sides that had already closed in on each other immediately engaged in battle.

Like Peterum, Fang Yi was part of the defense team. He stayed on their own ship and didn't go over. The rest followed Roger and Rayleigh and charged straight at the pirates.

"Woof! Woof!" Wangzai wasn't experiencing this kind of situation for the first time. It joined in to deal with the pirates charging towards them.

"Whoosh~ Pfft!" A pirate distracted by Wangzai's attention was directly hit by Fang Yi's arrow and fell down.

"Congratulations, host. You've defeated a pirate and gained 10 points!"

"Well done!" Hearing the system's prompt, Fang Yi praised Wangzai and continued to look for targets.

"Woof! Woof!" Wangzai barked proudly twice and then used its speed again to distract the enemies, creating better conditions for Fang Yi. The cooperation between the man and the dog was quite proficient.

"Ellio, watch out!" Standing by the railing on the second floor, Peterum shot a pirate who was trying to sneak up on Ellio.

"Thanks. These pirates are always using dirty tricks!" Ellio waved at Peterum on the second floor and said with a smile.

The pirate he was fighting with had used a poisoned dagger and he almost got hit, thus failing to notice the sneak attack from behind.

The Wolf Pirates had quite a number of members, and they seemed to love using sneak attacks and poisoning. Fortunately, their overall strength wasn't very strong. Even Fang Yi had taken out several pirates.

Soon, most of the pirates who had boarded the Oro Jackson were cleared out.

"Roar! Bastard! You're asking for it!"

But just then, Fang Yi suddenly heard a roar from the merchant ship.

It was the captain of the Wolf Pirates, Captain Wolf Wis. With a roar, his figure began to swell. He transformed from a human into a grey - furred werewolf.

"What the...?" Fang Yi's eyes widened. It wasn't that he had never seen a Zoan - type Devil Fruit user transform, but this form of transformation reminded him of the werewolf from CP9 during the future Enies Lobby battle. It seemed to be exactly the same.

"Good. You've successfully pissed me off! Now... it's time for you to pay the price!" After transforming, Captain Wolf Wis seemed to regain his confidence.

But Roger wasn't going to indulge him. He rushed up and gave Wis a good beating, making Wis start to doubt his life. He was a Devil Fruit user after all!

Not only did he have super strength and speed, but as a Zoan - type Devil Fruit user, his physical abilities were greatly enhanced. So both his recovery ability and endurance were excellent. In other words, he could take a beating.

However, this was the first time Weiss wished he didn't have this ability because he was no match for Roger at all and was completely thrashed unilaterally.

"Divine Evasion!"

Presumably, Roger found the fight boring. With his last move, Divine Evasion, he directly knocked Weiss off the merchant ship into the sea.

Seeing their captain being knocked away and the first mate already lying at Rayleigh's feet, the members of the Evil Wolf Pirates carried the unconscious first mate and fled in a rush.

Although the battle wasn't difficult, almost every opponent's weapon was smeared with poison, so many injured crew members showed signs of poisoning. The ship's doctor was so busy that he didn't even have time to catch his breath, rushing around to detoxify the crew members. Fortunately, it was just ordinary poison, and the ship's doctor's skills were up to the task. Otherwise, the loss this time would have been huge.

"Guys, look around and see if there are any survivors!" After the battle, Rayleigh started to direct everyone to carry the spoils. Leaving these supplies there would be a waste, so Fang Yi and the others carried all the useful supplies and treasures onto the Oro Jackson.

"Captain, come quickly! There are still survivors here!" Just as everyone was almost done sorting out and about to leave, a crew member found the hidden survivors.

"Hey... Are you guys okay?" Actually, the so - called survivors were just three people: a seriously injured oddly - dressed man and two kids.

"Th... Thank you, sir, for saving us... Cough... " The oddly - dressed man thanked Roger and the others.

However, when Fang Yi came over, his attention was immediately attracted to the two kids because he recognized who they were. After all, a duo with one having bright red hair and the other with a big, red, clown - like nose could only be Shanks and Clown Bucky.

"I'm afraid I'm a goner. It's just a pity that I can't go back to my hometown one last time before I die!" After chatting with Roger for a few words, the oddly - dressed man seemed to realize that his time was up.

Roger and the others didn't know what to say to comfort him. After all, his injuries were really too severe, and there was no way he could be saved.

"Where is your hometown?" Looking at his samurai - like attire and his accent when speaking, Fang Yi had an idea and asked.

"My hometown... It's in Wano Country!" Sure enough, the man's answer was the same as Fang Yi's guess.

"Wano Country?"

"Is there really a Wano Country? We've sailed in this sea area for so long and haven't heard any clues about Wano Country!"

"Are you actually from Wano Country? Could you be the legendary samurai?"

Hearing that the man was from Wano Country, the crew members were all extremely surprised. Even Roger, Rayleigh and the others were quite taken aback.

"I didn't expect you to be from Wano Country. We've sailed on the sea for so long and have only heard the name of Wano Country but have never seen it!" Roger said with a smile.

"Hehe... My country implements a closed - door policy and doesn't allow its citizens to go abroad. So, it's normal that you don't know about it!"

"Ahem..." The man from Wano Country said with a wry smile. "I, a humble one, set sail due to a fateful encounter in my early years. So many years have passed, and I've never been back. What a pity! I'm gonna die in a foreign land and never make it back home!"

Roger chatted with the man from Wano Country for a few more words and also asked about the two kids beside him. However, the man from Wano Country seemed to have some concerns. So Roger asked Fang Yi to take Shanks and Buggy back to the Oro Jackson first.

"Come on, you two brats. Introduce yourselves!" Although Fang Yi was already somewhat certain about their identities, he still asked them to introduce themselves.

"Hi, I'm Shanks!" Hearing this, the red - haired Shanks was stunned for a moment and then spoke up.

"Humph, aren't you a brat too? And when asking someone to introduce themselves, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" The red - nosed Buggy wasn't as easy - going as Shanks and directly retorted.

"Hehe... Seems like you're a naughty one. But... That's just how this world works. The powerful don't have to play by the rules, and I... am the powerful one for you two!" Fang Yi let out a strange laugh. With a flash, he appeared in front of Buggy. Somehow, a dagger had appeared in his hand and was already placed on Buggy's neck.

But just as he touched Buggy, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

"Congratulations, Host! You've successfully checked in on Clown Buggy. You've been rewarded with a chance to spin the roulette!"
