Buggy: "Nani??? The 'me' over there is actually willing to take the blame for the Straw Hat kid?!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ahahaha!!! Buggy, thank you!!"
Shanks: "Haha, Buggy! See, you and Luffy actually get along quite well!"
Benn Beckman: "For the Buggy over here, this situation is indeed outrageous. But for the Buggy over there, this seems quite natural."
Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara!!! The red-nosed brat isn't inherently bad, just went down the wrong path."
Gol D. Roger: "Little Buggy has great potential with Luffy over there guiding him! Hope Luffy over there doesn't let little Buggy leave the ship! Ahhh! Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, metal wood water fire earth..."
Silvers Rayleigh: "...Roger, you're like this... making us members of the Roger Pirates lose face..."
Crocus: "Haha!! Rayleigh's right! You acting like this will make others think we followed a fool for a captain."
Gol D. Roger: "Ahem, alright, let's be serious then!"
["Luffy kid! This crime of killing Marines, let me bear it for you!!"]
[Buggy patted his chest, then puffed it out proudly.]
[Hmph! I, Buggy, also have a sense of responsibility!]
[Seeing Buggy's 'heroic' appearance, Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up: "No! No need for you to bear it!"]
[Nani??]
[Buggy was just feeling moved by his own nobility when he suddenly heard Luffy say this, instantly becoming bewildered.]
[He immediately flared up: "Luffy kid, what do you mean?? We're about to part ways, you won't even give me a chance to repay you?!"]
["Even if I, Buggy, am not your Nakama, we've still spent so much time together!!! Don't you even have this "Five Nine Three" bit of trust in me?!!!"]
["No no no!"]
[Luffy shook his head like a rattle drum. Who knows what thought popped into his head, but he grinned mischievously.]
["No need to say more, I suddenly thought of a perfect solution! Heheh!!"]
[Saying this, Luffy waved his hand grandly, pointing towards the front right: "Over there, an unmanned wild harbor! Let's dock the ship there!!"]
[The small town where the Marine 16th Branch was located was called Miro Town.]
[An hour later...]
[On the outskirts of Miro Town, five figures emerged from the mountain forest...]
Holy Crap!!
When the viewers saw these five figures, they all collapsed to the ground laughing!
Borsalino: "...!!! Hey hey hey, aren't these guys supposed to answer questions????"
Gion: "This... Although they are going to deal with Marines, I still have to say... Red Luffy is really smart!!!"
Caribou: "In terms of temperament, they suit being kidnappers/bandits more than I do!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Mamamama!!! Are these kids trying to kill me with laughter? What kind of getup is this..."
Nami: "Why do I feel like... the Straw Hat crew over there are all weirdos?"
Franky: "Gahahahaha!!! Have to admit, this method is SUPER good!!"
Usopp: "Totally a primitive commando squad!!!"
Nico Robin: "Luckily I haven't joined yet at this time, otherwise how embarrassing."
Shanks: "Hahaha!!! Luffy over there is truly talented!!!"
["Hahaha! Usopp, your nose is sticking out!"]
["Damn it!! Isn't this all your stupid idea!!! But, isn't that straw hat of yours too conspicuous!!"]
["Marimo-head, you can't bring those three swords!"]
["You're talking about me? What the hell are you still smoking that cigarette for!"]
["Hey hey hey, Buggy, can you be serious? If you fly up like that, won't people recognize you immediately???"]
[Luffy and the other four were currently all wearing black cloth bags over their heads. Their bodies were draped in cloaks woven from leaves, covering everything from the neck down!]
[Totally a Fierce Bandit Group of Five!!]
[The five checked each other over, making secondary adjustments to any features that might reveal their identities.]
[Luffy's hat was taken off, Zoro's swords were tied to his legs, Sanji's cigarette was extinguished, Buggy straightforwardly tied himself up twice with rope to prevent accidentally flying.]
[Only Usopp's nose was the most troublesome. However, Luffy still thought of a solution, using branches to make a cover for Usopp's head.]
[Although this made Usopp's head look a size bigger, it wouldn't expose his signature feature anymore.]
["Perfect!!"]
[After finishing the inspection, Luffy immodestly gave himself a thumbs-up!!!]
["Oh right, almost forgot! After entering the town, no one is allowed to use their habitual fighting moves."]
[Luffy thought of something else, then stretched his arm, grabbed a nearby tree, pulled it right over, and broke the trunk into five sections.]
["Listen, after entering town, our weapon is this. No one is allowed to use any other attack method."]
[Luffy distributed the wooden clubs to the five, reminding them.]
[Usopp's eyes lit up, "Right, right, right! Luffy's reminder is correct! We all use wooden clubs to attack, that way it's even less likely people will know who we are!""]
[The group didn't rush into town but waited outside until dark before sneaking quietly inside.]
["The moon is dark, the wind is high... Hmm, good omen!"]
[Luffy looked up at the moonless night sky, waved his hand grandly: "Let's do it!"]
["Who's there!"]
[Bang bang bang bang!]
[In the pitch-black night, a series of heavy thuds rang out.]
[By the time the entire Marine base quieted down, Luffy was already in the interrogation room.]
["You... you people are audacious beyond belief!! I am Captain Nezumi, the Base Commander of the Marine 16th Branch! Are you trying to declare war on the World Government??"]
[Captain Nezumi, pressed to the ground, looked terrifiedly at the several "fierce bandits" surrounding him, shouting nervously.]
[Thwack!]
[Usopp swung his wooden club and gave Nezumi a large bump on the head. "Behave yourself! Answer whatever our boss asks you!!"]
[Luffy sat behind the interrogation table, looking like a pile of leaves stacked there. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, the disguise effect was excellent.]
["We are the Five Great Vajras of the Wooden Club Bandit Gang! Listen up, you filthy rat! We've already thoroughly investigated your collusion with the Arlong Pirates in committing evil deeds. Now obediently tell us, how many of the Marines under your command are complicit with you!"]
[Luffy asked in a calm tone.]
[Captain Nezumi heard this and found it hilarious.]
[A bunch of mountain bandits actually trying to do the job of Marine Internal Affairs??? Don't joke around!!]
[Instantly, Captain Nezumi chuckled, "Squeak squeak squeak squeak! Let's just cut to the chase! I'll give you money, okay? I'll give money! Just name your price, but don't be too excessive..."]
[Thump!]
["Good! Beat him to death!"]
[Hearing this, Luffy casually waved his hand.]
[Three or four wooden clubs rained down onomatopoeia for crackling.]
[Nezumi's originally sharp rat-like face instantly swelled into a bruised potato...]
["Enough, enough... I'll give! I'll give! How much money do you want? I'll give it all, okay!?"]
[The people around him hit really hard! Captain Nezumi was genuinely afraid he'd be beaten to death!]
[Thwack!]
[Usopp gave his head another whack with the club!]
["Damn it! Did our boss ask you for money? Speak! Which fake Marine soldiers are colluding with you!" Usopp cursed.]
[Captain Nezumi was stunned.]
[What does this mean???]
[Are these guys actually serious???]
["Hey hey hey! Are you guys from Marine Internal Affairs???"]
[Captain Nezumi muttered to himself, then immediately shook his head. "Impossible! Marine Internal Affairs would never need to wear masks."]
[Luffy waved his hand: "Continue hitting!"]
[Just as Luffy predicted, Captain Nezumi was a complete coward. He quickly confessed everything.]
[Of course... Luffy wouldn't believe his one-sided statement.]
[What if Captain Nezumi deliberately implicated someone out of revenge?]
[Or what if he protected someone important to him??]
[That night, Luffy interrogated the several hundred Marine soldiers of this branch one by one. By comparing the "Black Marine" lists reported by everyone, he finally distinguished the "Black Marines" from the true Marines.]
Kong: "These bastards! Do they think they are the Marines!!!"
Sengoku: "Privately interrogating Marines! They've committed a capital crime! Damn it! Let me take this opportunity here to clarify to the whole world: absolutely do not learn from Luffy's group over there! Otherwise, you will surely court your own destruction!"
Shiki: "You two shameless dog turds!!! Others aren't idiots! Can't they see that what Red Luffy's group over there is doing is actually beneficial for ordinary civilians??"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it! Even I, a great pirate who kills like scything hemp, can't stand watching this! Your Marine scum harm civilians, yet you don't allow others to eliminate the scourge for the people??? What kind of messed up logic is this!"
Tsuru: "If everyone disregards law and order like Red Luffy over there, privately executing Marines, wouldn't the whole world fall into chaos?"
Gol D. Roger: "??? Old hag Tsuru, what nonsense are you spouting! Open your eyes wide and look! Did the Conomi Islands over there fall into chaos??? Anyone who isn't an idiot can see that the civilians over there received true salvation!"
Belo Betty: "If Red Luffy didn't act against these Marines, that would be true chaos!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Haven't you understood yet? What those old Marine fogeys mean is: they can dispose of disobedient civilians, but civilians absolutely cannot touch their Marines! Mamamama!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Sengoku, you like to yap, right? Then let me yap a couple of sentences too! People of the world, listen up! Everyone must learn from Red Luffy's group over there! If someone wants to lord over your head, control your life and death, then unite and overthrow them!!!"
Shiki: "Gyahahahaha!!! Roger's right!"
[Marine 16th Branch Base Prison]
["How should these people be dealt with?"]
[Zoro looked at the "Black Marines" locked up together, asking...]
[Luffy's voice was indifferent: "Kill! Leave none alive!!"]
["Ah...!!"]
["No... We know we were wrong! We promise never to do it again!!! Don't kill us..."]
["It was Captain Nezumi who forced us...!!!"]
["We are Marines... Killing us means facing pursuit from the World Government! You better think clearly..."]
["Yeah, don't do anything stupid! We're saying this for your own good...!!!"]
[Hearing Luffy order their execution, these hundred-plus "Black Marines" all panicked frantically.]
[One after another, they tried every possible way to beg for mercy...]
[Zoro looked at Luffy, gestured with the wooden club in his hand, and said somewhat hesitantly: "Still use this???"]
[Although wooden clubs could kill, the efficiency was too low, and the scene... was a bit hard to watch...]
["Of course not!"]
[Luffy walked aside, picked up the Marine-use guns piled in the corner, took out several and threw them to the other four, then picked one up himself. "Use this!!"]
["No!!! Don't kill us...!!!"]
[Seeing the five pick up guns, these "Black Marines" started crying for their parents, begging for mercy.]
["When you helped Captain Nezumi harm the civilians of the Conomi Islands, did you ever think about today???"]
["You don't want to die, but did those innocent civilians want to die???"]
["Since you chose this path, then face the consequences this path brings!!!"]
["Open fire!!——"]
[Rat-tat-tat-tat...]
[Five streams of fire simultaneously unleashed bullets violently. Miserable screams instantly echoed throughout the "Black Marine" prison cell!!]
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahahaha! Satisfying!!! This kid is really too likable!!! Acts decisively like thunder, swift like wind, absolutely no dawdling!!!"
Kong: "Bastards!!! These guys are simply lawless!!! That's over a hundred Marine soldiers' lives!!!"
Shiki: "Gyahahahaha!!! That's over a hundred vicious dogs, killing them was good, killed beautifully!!!"
Trafalgar Law: "Red Luffy over there did excellently!!! If they waited for the Marines themselves to investigate these people, I fear even when the World Government collapsed, these people would still be free and unrestrained!!"
Belo Betty: "The Marines are just lapdogs of the World Government! When their own people make mistakes, even if punished, it's just a light slap on the wrist!! But no matter how many innocent civilians die, they won't show the slightest bit of compassion!!"
Sengoku: "Bullshit!!! Don't use one rotten apple to slander the entire Marines!!! There are also many in the Marines who protect civilians! Doesn't that Commodore Brannew have a very good reputation???"
Monkey D. Dragon: "You're right! But... precisely because Commodore Brannew is an upright Marine, Red Luffy not only didn't harm him but even praised him, didn't he???"
Monkey D. Garp: "You bastard, what you said is actually right. My grandson over there, ultimately, wasn't wrong..."
Sengoku: "Garp!! Watch your stance!!!"
Sakazuki: "Regardless, the Marines maintain peace on the seas! Even if some corrupt elements appear, the Marines still represent justice!!! Anyone who privately attacks the Marines must be executed!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "This little brat called Sakazuki is truly arrogant!!! Wait till I resurrect, see how I crush you!!"
Sakazuki: "Fool!!! Just trash eliminated from the old era, daring to bark before me!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn you!!! Remember what you said!!! I won't let you off!!"
Sakazuki: "Heh! I'll wait and see!"
