"I'm Lord Rody's butler. My name is Sebas Tian. I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, when Lord Rody arrives, with his temper, you won't have any chance of survival." Sebas Tian replied calmly. Even in a tense situation, he didn't forget the basic rules of etiquette.
"Really? So what?" Toby replied, cupping his fists and grinning ferociously. "Everyone has said that Rody the Assassin is very powerful, but I want to see if he's as powerful as you say. I want to see if he can kill me with a single blow!"
"But first, HAHAHAHA! Let me test your skills as a butler first!" Toby laughed loudly and lunged at Sebas Tian, throwing a vicious punch.
"Since things are like this, let me accompany you then!" Sebas Tian responded as he launched himself at Toby, fiercely swinging his cane and colliding with Toby's steel fist.
BOOM!
The sound of the clash was deafening, sparks of metal screeching against metal leaping up, illuminating the two men's faces.
"You're quite good, old man!" Toby said with a ferocious smile and a slightly surprised tone, seeing this seemingly weak old man resist his attack.
Sebas didn't respond, but remained silent. Clearly, like Toby, he also sensed Toby's strength. So, taking advantage of the fact that both attacks were of equal strength and remained motionless, he slightly tilted the cane in his hand.
"Ehhh!" Toby exclaimed as he felt Sebas take advantage of the momentum of his attack and redirect his fist toward the ground. Toby didn't have time to react and crashed to the ground.
BAAAM!
Due to the impact, the iron boxing gloves left two small holes in the ground, shattering the cement and raising dust.
Sebas took advantage of Toby's position on the ground and, although some dust clouded his vision, with a murderous gleam in his aged eyes, he swiftly and ferociously drove the tip of his staff into the area he believed to be his opponent's abdomen.
If it were a person of normal height, this direct thrust would undoubtedly pierce through his abdomen, but since Toby was extremely small, Sebas missed the attack; the area he thought was the abdomen was actually his chest.
Because of this, Toby was able to react quickly and use his two steel fists to block Sebas's thrust.
CLINCK
The screeching of metal and the flying sparks made Sebas frown slightly, as his attack seemed to have been fruitless.
Using the momentum of Sebas's thrust, Toby quickly got up, took advantage of the dust, and leaped directly at Sebas with his fists raised.
"Die, old man!"
SWIIIISH
Toby's fist, filled with murderous intent, aimed for Sebas's head, intending to blow his head off.
Sebas calmly blocked the attack with his staff and then launched a slashing kick straight to Toby's side, sending him flying.
BANG!
Toby used his elbow to block, but he still flew like a dog crashing into a fruit stand, sending fruit rolling on the ground and wood flying through the air.
SWOOOSH
Toby, though disheveled, leaped from the impact and exchanged several blows with Sebas.
Sparks flew with each exchange, and after a few minutes, they both backed off.
"Old man, is that all you are?" Toby said, seeing Sebas gasp rapidly for air. Sebas looked at Toby ruefully. Although Toby's mouth was bleeding, Toby was still brimming with energy, which frustrated him a little. He thought, "After all, I'm old now; my physical strength isn't as good as it was when I was young."
"Lord Bumblebee, first find Lord Rody and tell him how the situation is." With no other option, Sebas resorted to this.
"Okay, Butler Sebas, wait a moment. I'll go find the captain right away," Bumblebee said as he transformed into a motorcycle.
ROAR
The next moment, Bumblebee shot off at terrifying speed.
"HAHAHAHA! Wait. By the time I meet with the captain and tell him what happened, you'll be dead, not a single corpse will remain of you idiots!" Bumblebee laughed arrogantly and left this sentence before leaving.
Toby, seeing the talking motorcycle flee, turned to the pirates following him and said, "You hold this old man, and the rest of you follow me. We're going to catch that motorcycle."
Yes, Captain!
Toby and a dozen pirates chased Bumblebee. The pirates who stayed behind to deal with Sebas didn't act immediately. Instead, they focused on Toby. Seeing Toby slowly disappear, they ran away without saying anything, scared and panicking.
Joke? Staying to fight with Rody the Killer? Obviously, it's impossible. This guy is extremely ruthless. He kills wherever he goes and leaves no survivors. Even if the Krieg incident is a lie, what about the Arlong Pirates? And Colonel Mouse of the Navy?
So many important events can't be lies, so when in doubt, it's better to flee. No one wants to die; it's better to live.
As for saying their Captain was smart, that's pure bullshit. They were just looking for a way to escape.
"Haha, it seems not all these pirates are idiots," Sebas laughed, watching the pirates flee frantically. He planted his staff in the ground and began to regain his strength.
"Butler Sebas, since these pirates have escaped, let's quickly help Bumblebee," Carmen said anxiously.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go, Butler Sebas." "We can't leave Bumblebee alone!" Carmen's two apprentices said in unison, their voices filled with concern. For them, Bumblebee, despite his strange appearance, was already their good friend, so it didn't matter that they couldn't abandon him.
"Lady Carmen, there's nothing to worry about. There's no need to chase him. Don't forget that Mr. Bumblebee is a motorcycle. I doubt that at the speed he's traveling, those pirates will be able to catch up with him."
"Besides, even if they do, I'm afraid that by then Mr. Bumblebee will have already found Lord Rody. By then, I'm afraid no one from that group of pirates will survive," Sebas said calmly, shaking his head slowly.
To him, that group of foolish pirates is already dead. After all, in his eyes, Lord Rody is a person who forgives no one.
BANG!
BANG!
Across a small alley, gunshots rang out. Bullets flew past, striking the foreheads of some fleeing pirates with merciless precision.
A middle-aged man wearing a long cloak and a piercing gaze stood where the shots were coming from, his pistol billowing with smoke.
Around him were five dead pirates, their foreheads bloodied and bewildered. It was clear they had no idea how they had died. In a corner of the alley, another pirate was trembling with fear, leaning against the cold wall. Every time the man approached, he tried to move further away, but it was useless; there was nowhere else to run.
"Too... too fast and too accurate!"
"They didn't even see you fire. In less than a second, they were all pierced through the forehead with precision," the pirate stammered, fear evident on his face.
Daddy Masterson, the best bounty hunter in the East Blue and also the best marksman in all of Loguetown.
Daddy Masterson's face was cold and expressionless. Even as the pirate in front of him trembled in fear, he remained calm.
He casually pointed his smoking revolver at the pirate, causing him to cry and beg.
"No... no... no... please...!"
BANG!
Before he could finish speaking, Daddy Masterson pulled the trigger and pierced the pirate's forehead, sending blood splattering all over the walls.
Daddy Masterson was originally a brilliant Navy sniper. But due to an incident, he decided to leave the Navy and was defeated in a duel with Yassop, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates. When Yassop was about to kill him, he saw a picture of him and his daughter on his body and thought of his son, Usopp, so he spared his life. Thanks to Yassop's mercy, Daddy Masterson thought of his daughter and, to spend more time with her, left the Navy and became a bounty hunter to make a living.
Today was a day like any other. Daddy Masterson captured a few small-time pirates with bounties and went to the Loguetown Naval Base to exchange the reward with the commander of the Loguetown Naval Base, Colonel Smoker.
Seeing more pirates heading his way, Daddy Masterson didn't hesitate and hunted them down. He was about to cut off their heads when, at that moment, his nerves shot up.
A man and a woman stepped out from around a corner. This would have been nothing to him, but everything changed when he saw that man looking directly at him with interest.
"Oh, what a party you've got going on here!" Rody rubbed his chin and looked with interest at the lifeless corpses on the ground.
At that moment, Daddy Masterson stood motionless like a statue, sweating cold and daring to move, possessing the unique acuity of a seasoned sniper. Seeing this man with pitch-black eyes, a sense of crisis gripped him.
Spiky black hair, with peculiar black markings, seeing this appearance, a reward poster came to mind.
There was no doubt. It was "East Blue's most wanted criminal, with a reward of 50 million Baileys, Rody the Killer."
Rody kicked a corpse in disgust and walked around the place with interest, observing the accuracy of this old man's bullet.
"Whew, what good aim you have, man!" Rody exclaimed sarcastically as he looked at the pirates' foreheads. They all had a bullet in their foreheads. The funny thing was that the bullet was in the center; all the corpses had the hole in the same place.
"Tch, Rody, why did you come to such a gloomy place?" Nami said dissatisfied, her face filled with disgust at the sight of the corpses.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, Nami, I just wanted to see the fun!" Rody replied. He looked at Daddy Masterson, who was staring at him. Naturally, he recognized this guy; if he remembered correctly, he was a character who only appeared in the anime.
"Hmm, don't you want my reward?" Rody asked with interest as he looked at Daddy Masterson, whose body was extremely tense and stiff.
"A reward of 50 million Baileys, I don't think there's any bounty hunter who wouldn't want that," said Daddy Masterson, staring at Rody without blinking, suppressing the fear in his heart. Rody raised an eyebrow, even more curious about this man's response. He was about to say something when a scream interrupted him.
"Captain, help me, help me, help me!"
"Someone's trying to steal your favorite motorcycle, Captain!"
"You can't let those despicable people get away, Captain!"
....
Hearing that mechanical voice, Rody knew it was Bumblebee. He was speechless and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
The motorcycle stopped in front of Rody, and with a click, Bumblebee returned to his human form.
"Shit, he's turned human and can even talk!"
"What the hell is going on?!" Daddy Masterson thought in shock as he saw the humanoid motorcycle in front of him.
...
"Bumblebee, tell me slowly who wants to kidnap you," Nami asked with a strange expression. Someone dares to steal Rody's things? Were those guys crazy?
"Captain's Wife, it's a group of pirates, and their leader is Toby the Boxer."
"Everything was going well, we were about to reach the agreed-upon meeting point, until those guys decided to bother us. In the end, Butler Sebas had no choice but to confront the Captain of that pirate group."
"Butler Sebas Tian couldn't match their numbers, so he asked me to go find him."
Bumblebee briefly recounted the general situation and gradually calmed down as he recounted what had happened.
"Didn't you tell them who Rody was?" Nami asked, confused and grim-faced.
"I told you, but you didn't believe me. They said no one could destroy 50 ships by themselves and that what the newspapers said was pure bragging and exaggeration."
"Those guys are a bunch of trash who haven't seen the world. They don't believe the Captain's exploits!" Bumblebee looked displeased, his headlights flashing rapidly yellow, visibly frustrated.
"Quick, catch him! That monster motorcycle turned into this alley."
Before Nami could say anything, a series of voices echoed through the room. Everyone turned their heads toward the alley entrance. At that moment, a dozen pirates rushed in.
STEP
STEP
STEP
The group entered, led by an extremely short man with an ugly, unpleasant face.
As they entered the alley, Toby looked at the humanoid Bumblebee and smiled excitedly.
"You can't escape, monster motorcycle." From now on, you're mine!" "Hahahaha!" Toby exclaimed with a fiery glow, making Bumblebee flinch.
Bumblebee clutched his chest and stood behind Rody. "You... you, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, bastard. Captain Rody is here. If you don't bow down and beg for mercy, the Captain will kill you!"
"..."
Seeing Bumblebee's actions, Rody's face darkened. Why did the scene look like something out of an NTR doujin?
Hearing Rody's name, everyone looked at the man with black hair and black marks on his face.
"Rody the Killer!!!"
"Not only him, but also the bounty hunter Daddy Masterson!"
"Captain, look, the one with the marks on his face is Rody the Killer," Toby's pirates said. He looked at Rody nervously.
Hearing his nickname, Rody frowned. To be honest, he didn't like the nickname those shitty newspapers had given him.
"You're the killer, Rody." Toby stopped smiling and ignored Daddy Masterson. He looked directly at Rody with narrowed eyes.
Rody ignored him. He didn't take this trash seriously. At that moment, he was thinking about how to change his nickname.
"King of Curses Rody... Cursed King Rody... Which one would be the best?" Rody thought, rubbing his chin.
Seeing Rody ignore him, Toby flew into a rage. "How dare you belittle me like that!"
No one answered again.
Seeing how they humiliated him more and more, Toby turned red with rage. "Bastard, do you think you're funny? Since you're so arrogant, let me see how good you are, you son of a bitch!"
