Chapter 8 Someone is here to give away his headBuggy, transformed into a car, seemed possessed by Takumi Fujiwara, even performing gutter runs around corners. The three of them chased him for a long time but simply couldn't catch up."He actually got away," Meruem said, panting heavily with his hands on his knees."Meruem~ I'm hungry," Luffy said, lying on the ground with his tongue out, unwilling to move.Zoro, propped up by his swords, was also panting: "You… didn't you just eat?""Woof woof!""Ah, who's barking… wait, barking???"Meruem looked over to see a dog, which didn't look very smart, standing at the door of a house and barking furiously at them."Hey, are you inviting us to eat?" Luffy also noticed this, but the words that came out of his mouth were utterly incomprehensible."How could that be, Luffy? I think he wants to show us the way," Zoro said seriously."What is wrong with both of your thought processes…"Meruem didn't even want to complain anymore; he was a bit tired."Who are you people! Don't you dare bully Shushu!" a person, who looked somewhat similar to the dog and was wearing strange armor, shouted.Zoro looked at this person with a bit of shock: "You… who are you?""Me? I'm Bute, the mayor of Orange Town!" Bute looked a bit old, but his voice was full of vigor.Nami ran up, gasping for breath, having finally caught up: "What the hell are you guys? Running so fast, it's completely abnormal."The three of them tilted their heads in unison, full of questions, not knowing what she meant."Isn't this the world of Pirate King… just now there was a drifting human car, and you say we're abnormal?"Meruem didn't pay attention and said, "What do we do now? We don't know where to find Buggy."Nami finally recovered and said, "Why look for him? Let's just go and take his treasure.""No, if we don't drive him away, this town will be finished," Meruem replied casually.Nami looked at the three of them in disbelief: "Aren't you three Pirates? Aren't you supposed to be best at taking away what others cherish most?"Meruem felt his thoughts becoming disjointed upon hearing this and didn't explain, mainly because he didn't know what to say."You are Pirates! Stay away from Shushu!" Bute felt something was wrong upon hearing this and pointed his homemade weapon at the three of them."Roar!"Everyone was startled and looked towards the sound. A lion, two people tall, was glaring at them. Sitting on its back was a… funny man wearing a ridiculous head covering.Buggy stood in the middle, with several hot pots in front of him, grinning sinisterly at them.On his other side was a… funny man riding a unicycle and holding a sword.Behind them was a group of strange-looking Pirates, who would probably be locked up in a mental hospital no matter where they were… "Oh, Red Nose, we were just saying we were going to look for you," Luffy said, looking very happy.Buggy's smile froze on his face upon hearing this, and his anger surged. He roared, "Who are you calling Red Nose! Special Buggy Bomb, fire!"Luffy used the same trick again, and the bomb was bounced back, blowing Buggy and his crew head over heels.Meruem covered his face, thinking that there was a reason Buggy was so miserable; he simply couldn't bear to watch.After a series of exclamations, Buggy's crew crawled out of the rubble. Buggy's expression was a bit awkward, but then, thinking of something, his expression turned ferocious: "Minions, attack them! Kill them!"Honestly, if you're sick, you need treatment. This one looks seriously ill.The roar of the lion came, and the funny man riding the lion said, "I am Mohji, the Beast Tamer! Today is your day of death! Hahaha. Richie, let's go."Meruem slightly dodged the lion's swipe with a subtle sidestep, without even drawing his sword, and delivered a fierce blow to the neck of Richie, the lion.Richie immediately rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground. Mohji, who was on his back, only felt his body drop, and as he met Meruem's gaze, Mohji's previously smiling face immediately stiffened."B-Big Brother, actually, I'm a beast tamer performer; that was just an act. What do you think?"Meruem looked at him expressionlessly, saying nothing.Cold sweat dripped from Mohji's forehead. Seeing that Meruem wasn't speaking, he didn't dare to move, only maintaining a fawning smile to please him."Why do you wear such a ridiculous head covering?" Meruem finally asked the doubt in his heart."M-My… B-Big Brother, this is my hair, not a head covering," Mohji was a bit angry, but he also knew that the situation was against him, so he immediately changed his words and replied obediently.Meruem's gaze sharpened, and he roughly tugged at it a few times, making Mohji wince in pain. He could only mutter, "Awesome…""Clang!"The funny man on the unicycle launched a direct thrust, which Zoro parried."I am Cabaji, the Chief of Staff of the Buggy Pirate Crew, and I am a swordsman."Zoro's fighting spirit surged upon hearing this: "I am Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. You'll make a good opponent."Cabaji, taking advantage of Zoro's attention being on his sword, yelled, "Acrobatics. Fire Breath!"A mouthful of salty soda… no, a mouthful of fierce fire sprayed from his mouth. Zoro had no choice but to lean his head back and dodge.Cabaji cunningly delivered a kick that landed squarely on Zoro's waist, sending him flying sideways."Hahaha, watch this move, Acrobatics. Steam Murder Case!" Smoke rose, and Cabaji's blade pursued Zoro directly.Zoro was still in the air, without any support, but he blocked Cabaji's blade again, using the momentum to do a backflip and land on the ground… He held two swords crossed, and said coldly, "Your acrobatics are really boring. I've had enough."Cabaji's expression changed, and he roared, "How dare you call my art boring! Then I'll send you to hell and show you my true swordsmanship!" With that, he forcefully pushed the pedal of his unicycle and thrust straight forward."Three-Sword Style. Oni Giri." A faint demonic aura appeared around Zoro. His figure flickered, and he was behind Cabaji, with the demonic aura lingering between the two points.He sheathed his swords. Looking at Cabaji's face again, the light had already left his eyes, and three sword wounds, imbued with demonic aura, slowly appeared, before he fell heavily to the ground."I will not lose a swordsman's battle," Zoromurmured, as if reminding himself and making a promise… Buggy seemed to only want his subordinates to buy him some time and didn't care about their lives.He continuously attacked Luffy's Straw Hat, seemingly hating that hat more than anything else.Luffy, in order to protect his hat, fought with his hands tied. He finally found an opportunity and stomped on Buggy's separated hand."Gum-Gum Pistol!"His fist rapidly rushed towards Buggy's Red Nose
