Chapter 11: Hunting as A Team

Chapter 11: Hunting as A Team

Buggy now have 2 companions for his bounty hunting. He have a gunner & a helmsman now. Buggy, Burton and Jimmy discuss on their hunting schedule. They agree to take 2 weeks job, and 1 week rest periodically.

"Then, let's start tomorrow! Prepare everything you need for our hunt!"-Buggy

""Okay.""-Burton & Jimmy

Burton & Jimmy return to their home, and Buggy return to his ship. The next day, Burton & Jimmy come to the ship with their gears ready. Burton have a gun on his waist, and Jimmy have a spear on his back.

"There's a pirate ship that dock last night on the South Coast. They haven't leave, and i think they'll leave today. It's a small crew with 5 million bounty. I think they're just buying supplies, not aiming for Grandline."-Buggy

"Then, i will try to spy on them, so we won't miss it when they leave."-Burton

"Alright, Jimmy, let's prepare the ship!"-Buggy

"Okay."-Jimmy

Burton then go to the south to spy on the pirates. Buggy & Jimmy prepare the ship so it'll be ready to chase any time. They prepare the cannon & it's balls, they also check the ship if there's any problem.

After 3 hours, Burton call them and say that the pirates are making a move. Buggy & Jimmy immediately go to the south coast to pick Burton. Then when they arrive, the pirates have left the island, but their distance is still short.

Burton go up the ship, and they chase the pirate crew. With a helmsman controlling the ship, their move become a lot better and faster. They chase the pirate crew, and it didn't take long for them to get close.

The pirate crew realize they're being chased, and start to open fire. Burton also start to shoot, while Jimmy controlling the ship to avoid getting shot. Buggy is on the railing, ready to jump to the pirate ship anytime.

All Burton's shot hit the pirate ship, but the pirates only hit them a few times, and it's not fatal. They also succeed to get close to the pirate ship, so Buggy jump there alone.

"STAY ON THE SHIP, AND PREPARE SUPPORT!"-Buggy

""ALRIGHT!""-Burton & Jimmy

Buggy is now on the pirate ship alone, facing all 20 pirates. Buggy find his target at the back preparing revolvers. His target is 'Roulette' Joe, 5 million bounty, captain of Roulette pirates.

Buggy draw his swords, and he attack the pirates. The pirates also attack him, so Buggy use his observation haki. He dodge, parry, and counter their attacks. His fighting style focus more on speed & agility rather than strength. That's why Buggy move around in his battle to dodge, rather than stay & block.

Buggy might not need to worry about being cut. He just didn't want to just use his devil fruit ability everytime. Beside, by dodging & parrying, he can train his observation haki while fighting.

While Buggy fight with the underlings, the pirate captain, Joe got wary. He see Buggy defeat his mens easily, and soon, it will be him. So now he prepare his revolvers and point it to Buggy. Then he shoot both his revolvers at Buggy.

Buggy realize this and dodge the shot. The bullets hit a pirate, and make the other pirates surprised. However, Joe didn't care and keep shooting at Buggy.

Buggy run around the deck, and make the bullets hit the other pirates. The pirates panicked, so they start to scatter around. Buggy didn't miss this chance and attack them while evading the bullets. Soon, only Joe is left on the ship.

"Wow, thanks for helping me defeating your crew."-Buggy

"SHIT! HOW CAN YOU DODGE ALL THE BULLETS?"-Joe

"You're just that bad at shooting, right Burton?"-Buggy

"Yeah, his aiming suck."-Burton point a gun with his left hand to Joe

"Damn!"-Joe

*BANG*

Burton shoot his pistol, and it miss Joe's body. Joe touch his body and find out that he's fine.

"Tsk, still unstable."-Burton

"Ha-HAHAHAHA, IT'S YOU WHO SUCK AT AIMING."-Joe

"You should worry about yourself more than him."-Buggy

Buggy suddenly appear behind Joe and stab Joe's stomach from the back. Then Buggy use his knee to kick Joe's family jewel, and make him faint.

"Uugh, that must be hurt."-Jimmy flinch

"Yeah it is."-Burton

Then they tie all the pirates and raid the pirate ship. They take all valuables including the cannons, cannon balls, and even their supplies. It make their own ship full, but it's also good. They put the pirates on their ship, then they leave the pirate ship there and go to Loguetown.

"These supplies can be sell again, so it's not that bad."-Burto

"Yeah, just leave enough supplies for our ship!"-Buggy

"Hmm, they have some good cannons. How if we take the good ones & sell the others?"-Burton

"Alright, we need to maximize our profit."-Buggy

"Now we looks like pirates instead of bounty hunters."-Jimmy sweatdrop

They arrive on Loguetown and divide their job again. Buggy will get the bounty, Burton will sell the cannons & supplies, while Jimmy guard the ship. They move and return after half an hour.

"Well guys, i have a good news. This guy's bounty actually raised to 6 millions yesterday. They said he murder a rich man and their family raise the bounty."-Buggy

"Ooh, sweet. So it will be 2 million each."-Jimmy

"Yeah, we just need to leave some to repair the ship."-Jimmy

"We can take that from our selling of the cannons & supplies. I get a deal of 580,000 beri for all of these."-Burton

"Oho, that's good considering the cannons are secondhand."-Buggy

"Yeah, we just need to worry about the treasures"-Jimmy

"I know a dealer for things like these, so let's ask him."-Burton

They go to Burton's acquintance and sell the treasures. They go to a dark alley and find a hidden door. Burton knock it and say some password. Then someone open the door and let them come in.

They get inside a dark corridor and follow it. After walking for some time, they arrive in front of a door. The guard open it and they get inside. The inside is just a room with a wide table and someone behind it, an old man with glasses.

"Buy or sell?"-Old man

"Sell."-Burton

The three of them then put their treasures on the wide table. The old man open the bag and see the treasures. He call some people who start to inspect the goods. It takes some time before they finish.

"Hmm, i can give you 2 millions."-Old man

Burton & Jimmy got excited for it, but Buggy is not.

"Don't play with me old man! I know the value of these things are at least 4 millions. If you lower it to 3,5 millions, then i don't have a problem with it because you still need profit. But 2 millions is too low for that."-Buggy

Buggy accuse the old man, and the old man didn't have any reaction. But then some mens walk closer to Buggy & co.

"2 millions or nothing."-Old man

"B-Buggy, i-i think 2 millions is fine."-Jimmy tremble

"No, 4 million, or you die."-Buggy

A sword suddenly placed on the old man's throat. Buggy have detached his wrist and place his sword on the old man's throat.

"D-devil fruit user!"-Old man have cold sweat

"Now, choose!"-Buggy

The old man finally give them 4 million and they leave. Burton & Jimmy are shocked by what happen just now and ask Buggy about it.

"Yeah, i'm a devil fruit user, and i'm not hiding it, i just haven't use it."-Buggy

"W-well, if we can get a good deal with that, i don't mind at all."-Jimmy

"Yeah. Damn, that guy must've ripped me off too in the past."-Burton

"Forget about the past, it has happened. Next time, we need to find a better dealer that didn't cut the price too much."-Buggy

Finally their first hunting together, have finished.
