New World, Kale. Bali.
This is where the pirate dispatch company "Buggy Express" is based. The president of the company is none other than the former Seven Warlords of the Sea pirate, Buggy the Clown, who is also the captain of the Buggy Pirates.
The pirate club run by Buggy is essentially a war company specializing in delivering mercenaries to places in need around the world. It is similar to the "Germa 66" business of the North Blue's Vinsmoke family. Buggy Express makes money through war, increasing turmoil and unrest in the world.
Due to its original Shichibukai status privileges, when Buggy Express was established, all its transactions were legally valid by default according to the government. Even the Marines had no right to interfere.
In addition, Buggy, with titles like "former crew member of Roger Pirates" and "sworn brother of the Four Emperors' Red-Haired Shanks," successfully established their brand in the New World, made huge profits, and grew rapidly.
However, after the latest World Summit, the issue of "Abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea System" was passed. This ugly system of legalizing pirates no longer exists. All its members have lost the privileged status granted by the government and were attacked and arrested by the Marines.
Facing the ruthless World Government, the Seven Warlords of the Sea pirates launched resistance. The Kale. Bali Island where Buggy resides was naturally not spared. Unexpectedly, Crocodile, the former Shichibukai pirate who came to ask him for a debt, also arrived and helped him get rid of the Marine warship that was in the way.
Later, news arrived that Buggy, Crocodile, and the world's strongest swordsman Dracule Mihawk had joined forces to form the pirate organization "Cross Guild." The first thing these three former Shichibukai members did when they cooperated was to retaliate against the Marines and the World Government, establishing the Marine bounty system for the first time. Targeting all the generals and officers of the Naval Headquarters, they issued bounty notices to the world. This was an extreme provocation to justice.
Buggy was inexplicably elected by the other two as the nominal president of the Cross Guild. Although the actual controllers are still the two who first established the guild, in the eyes of the world, Buggy is the leader of this evil organization. For a time, the island became the headquarters of the Cross Guild.

Buggy Street.
Partner MR. 3, Galdino, was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee and tasting it carefully. He said, "Hey, Buggy! Did you hear about it? The Beasts Pirates are causing a lot of trouble in the New World recently!"
"Huh?"
Buggy, in a huge red robe, turned around and said with his eye-catching red nose, "Why should I pay attention to this kind of thing? Ever since I was held hostage by those two to serve as the president of the Cross Guild, I have been under hellish pressure every day, and my body is about to fall apart!"
Buggy, a Paramecia-type Chop-Chop Fruit user, can split his body at will and move freely within a limited range, making him completely immune to sword slashes. Ever since he became famous in the Summit War in 2018, Buggy's name has resounded worldwide. The originally low-key pirate's life trajectory has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In order to maintain his hard-won fame and intimidation, he often uses his ability to split his body, transforming into a huge figure called Buggy, achieving what he considers to be a "scary" effect.
Alvida, fiddling with her freshly painted red nails, said calmly, "Isn't your body always falling apart?"
Buggy's head immediately flew in front of her and shouted, "This is a metaphor! Do you understand the metaphor?"
Then he flew back and lamented, "My life is always full of ups and downs, and fate always likes to make things difficult for someone as extraordinary as me!"
"But there is no doubt that the winner in the end will be me, Uncle Buggy!"
These bold words did not receive any response from the people in front of him. MR. 3 and Alvida naturally ignored him. Mohji, the beast trainer of the Buggy Pirates, was busy fighting for a piece of meat with his lion mount, Richie, and Chief of Staff Kabaji was sitting upright in a daze.
Although it is a bit unbelievable, the four people in front of him are the confidants of the pirate group who started with Buggy, and they are also people he can truly trust.
Seeing that he was asking for trouble, Buggy could only take the initiative to change the topic and said, "Ah, I know! Isn't it just because that monster Kaido defeated the Straw Hats and the others and has now become the most powerful overlord in the New World, so the pirates under his command behave arrogantly?"
"What's so strange about this? Let's just stay away. We don't do anything wrong!"
MR. 3 adjusted his glasses and said, "But their looting has a great impact on our business!"
Buggy was startled and screamed, "What! How could it be possible? I have never provoked them!"
Alvida added, "Buggy, don't forget! Although we have lost your Shichibukai status, now we have the golden sign of the Cross Guild. It is still very deterrent in the New World! Many of our customers have come back and asked us to cooperate with them again, continuing to provide them with mercenaries!"
"Most of these customers are businessmen, and their cargo ships are often robbed by pirates. But as long as they hang our flag, they can often scare them away. The remaining ones who are not afraid of death will be defeated by our subordinates. Buggy Express is still the best in the industry and has a good reputation!"
Buggy was startled when he heard this and unconsciously realized he had been so successful. His red nose was uncontrollably dripping with snot. Then he realized and asked, "If this is the case, how can it still have an impact?"
MR. 3 drank the last drop of coffee and said, "But the Beasts Pirates are not ordinary pirates. With Kaido of the Beasts protecting them, they are simply lawless now and dare to rob anyone! Let alone our customers now, they couldn't even spare our own cargo ship!"
Buggy's mind suddenly became confused. When he thought of Kaido, that non-human monster, he felt a shiver deep into his soul. He stuttered and asked, "Then, what should I do?"
Mohji tore into pieces of meat and said casually, "How about negotiating with the Beasts Pirates? Pay them a protection fee and tell them not to embarrass us!"
Buggy subconsciously wanted to praise the good idea but was directly rejected by MR. 3: "If you dare to do such a shameful thing, Hawkeye and crocodile will never let you off lightly!"
Buggy immediately realized that he was still the nominal president of the Cross Guild. If he showed weakness to others without permission, it would undoubtedly be an indirect slap in the face of the other two people. How will they treat him then?
