"Alright, Chief Buggy."
Crocodile readily tossed over the family token.
After careful inspection, Buggy confirmed there were no issues and directly chose to establish a family.
"Congratulations to player [True Joker] for founding the [Desert Circus] family!"
"Old Crocodile, no need to be polite with me. Since you contributed the family token, then the family name definitely has a part of you in it."
Buggy familiarly reached out and put his arm around Crocodile's shoulder, seemingly happy with his wise decision to win over an ally.
"Thanks, next time, no need."
Crocodile's mouth twitched. For a family name that sounded so foolish, he would rather not have his part added to it.
Buggy also kept his word, directly giving Crocodile the position of Vice Chief and transferring 150,000 reward points to him.
Upon receiving the reward points, Crocodile impatiently opened the game's marketplace and purchased an item he had been eyeing for a long time.
"President, Pluton should be a giant battleship. If you buy it directly in the tent, won't it run aground?"
Daz Bonez was one of the few who knew about Crocodile's plan.
He didn't understand at first, but only when the plan failed did he piece together the truth from the President's scattered remarks.
The President's painstaking efforts to steal Alabasta were to obtain the Poneglyph in the underground royal tomb.
It contained information about Pluton.
According to legend, Pluton was an extraordinarily massive battleship, capable of instantly destroying an island if fully unleashed.
It was the highest level of technological product from the Ancient Kingdom.
"Vice Chief, you actually want Pluton? That's a truly massive ambition!"
Buggy was also shocked upon hearing Bonez's words.
After all, he was a crew member of Pirate King Roger. He hadn't eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run, and he had heard his crewmates discuss Ancient Weapons.
"Pluton?"
Crocodile looked up, a look of reminiscence on his face, then shook his head dismissively, saying, "After becoming a player, I realized how ridiculous my pursuit of Pluton was under the gaze of the Game Merchant."
The Pluton battleship, which he had painstakingly pursued, had long been cast aside.
Just as the Game Merchant said, the Reincarnation Game could fulfill all of a player's desires.
These desires could be past ambitions, such as the Pluton battleship, or new desires that arose after experiencing the Reincarnation Game.
Compared to these new desires, the Pluton battleship was like a toy, no longer able to pique his interest.
"What I pursue now is not something as superficial as Pluton."
Crocodile took a deep breath, and as if to prove his point, he laughed wildly, "Ancient Weapons of the Pirate World? Giant Kingdom?"
"They're all boring things. I heard the World Government has already achieved some results, haven't they?"
He turned his head to look at Buggy, who had been hunted by the God's Knights.
"That's right, when I plundered the Celestial Dragons' treasury, I seemed to have seen some data."
"I didn't look closely, but it seemed to be related to Vegapunk on Egghead Island, saying they were creating the strongest weapon, the Seraphim?"
Buggy nodded. Everyone was now a comrade in the same family, so there was nothing to hide.
The entire sea knew that the Gods had created the latest powerful weapon, far surpassing the Navy Headquarters' pacifista, and it was the strongest technological product combining Ancient Weapons.
This was a rumor deliberately spread by the World Government.
They were unwilling to see the Navy Headquarters dominate and continuously attract talent, so they could only proactively expose their trump card.
"The strongest weapon?"
Crocodile scoffed, "In front of the Reincarnation Game, it's like useless sand, long overdue to be thrown into the trash."
"Open your eyes and take a good look at my exchange item!"
He spread his hands, and a golden light illuminated the entire tent.
"If it were before, I definitely wouldn't believe a guy who spoke such big words."
Buggy's expression was solemn, his eyes wide, waiting for the Vice Chief's exchange item, thinking, "But now, any item appearing in the Reincarnation Game won't surprise me."
The Buggy Pirates, including Bonez, also stared expectantly at the golden light.
A moment later, the light gradually dissipated, and a pure metal golden pistol was held in Crocodile's hand.
"Ah?"
Buggy's mouth hung open, feeling like he was watching a circus performance where the main act wasn't a lion or a tiger, but a comical monkey.
Everyone else also had strange expressions.
Mochi laughed directly, saying, "Vice Chief, this metal pistol actually cost 150,000 reward points?"
The items in the Reincarnation Game were fair to all, regardless of age or experience.
The more expensive the reward points, the better the quality of the purchased item, so this metal pistol must be different.
But its appearance was truly terrible.
It was like an alloy toy manufactured by Wapol, the former king of Drum Kingdom and now of the Bliking Pirates, to be sold to naive children.
"Hmph, don't be impatient."
Crocodile glanced sideways at Mochi, who was mocking him, and said, "My exchange item can directly smash your purple-fire lion into pieces."
He gripped the pistol and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
With a slight sound, a top engraved with yellow sand shot out from the barrel, rolling along the ground.
The ground where the top rolled left a shimmering trail.
After the top drew a circular mark, a violent magical fluctuation erupted.
A golden magic circle, filled with heat, as if a wave of yellow sand was rushing forward.
"Mochi, look closely, this is my… Come out, Desert Messenger!"
The magic circle seemed to connect to a certain space, constantly emitting a pulling force, and a golden mech head appeared.
Golden patterns, like symbols of the desert, swirled on the surface of the mech head.
[Desert Messenger]: From the world of Light Warrior, a mech combined with special metal and magic, capable of manipulating the power of sand and dryness.
Crocodile directly tossed the metal pistol that summoned the mech head.
After the pistol landed, it transformed into a golden skateboard.
He directly jumped onto the skateboard, his body enveloped by a golden aura, and rushed into the crystal in the mech head's brow.
Buzz.
The mech head, now controlled by Crocodile, quickly began to transform, becoming a giant mech several tens of meters tall.
Its head directly broke through the tent.
"Mochi, are you very dissatisfied with me becoming the Vice Chief of the Desert Circus family?"
Crocodile's voice came from within the Desert Messenger mech.
Being able to quickly accumulate a large amount of assets and manage Baroque Works in an orderly manner, he clearly understood the principle of balancing kindness with authority.
Now was the time to establish his authority.
"No, Vice Chief, it's my fault!"
Mochi quickly protected Richie the lion and bowed his head in submission.
"Hahahahaha, stupid Mochi, is the Vice Chief someone you can look down on?"
Buggy laughed when he saw this, feeling that there was nothing wrong.
Among pirates, whoever was stronger had the final say. Even if Crocodile had the Desert Messenger, he couldn't beat Buggy, so Buggy was still the Chief.
Mochi provoked the new Vice Chief, so being scolded was well-deserved.
Furthermore, the stronger the Desert Circus family became, the happier he, as the Chief, would naturally be.
The reason he was willing to be hunted by the God's Knights and abandon his Celestial Dragon identity to steal the Celestial Dragons' treasure was not because he was the kind of person who was willing to stay cooped up in one place.
He used to lack the ability, but now, the Reincarnation Game had given him the opportunity to pursue his dreams again.
Buggy suddenly changed from his usual comical demeanor, looked up, and seriously looked at the Desert Messenger, asking, "Old Crocodile, what is your dream?"
