Three days later, Buggy and his crew set sail again on the Glory, under the grateful gazes of the islanders.
During those three days, they had settled the islanders, explaining Gote's actions and the sacrifices the Snow Woman had made for them.
After Gote's death, the effects of the Devil Fruit on the islanders disappeared. Their lost memories were restored to normal.
After hearing Buggy explain the whole story, the islanders' expressions were different. Some were grateful, some were remorseful, and some were filled with sadness. They were grateful for the Snow Woman's sacrifices, remorseful for their hatred of her, and sad for her death, as well as for the loss of their loved ones and friends.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were filled with hatred. This was naturally hatred for Gote. They hadn't expected the hero in their mouths to be a devil who treated their lives like grass, who had harmed so many innocent lives for his own goals.
Buggy asked for their opinions on how to arrange for these people. He also indicated that he could take them away from here.
After discussing it for a while, the islanders didn't choose to leave with Buggy. They were all native islanders. Some had lived on this island their entire lives. The outside world wasn't something they yearned for too much. If they left, they might never return. For people like them who didn't have any aspirations, they didn't have that kind of desire.
Hearing their decision, Buggy didn't try to persuade them. It was their choice. He wouldn't interfere. This place was, after all, a paradise in this cruel world of One Piece. Leaving here might make their lives even more painful. Living here might be the best choice for them.
Of course, Buggy also gave them some help. He told them where the way out was, left behind the methods of practicing the Rokushiki, and some insights on training the two types of Haki.
The Rokushiki and Haki were to give them the ability to protect themselves. Although no pirates had come here for over a decade, now that they had come here, they couldn't guarantee that other pirates wouldn't arrive. The island's resistance was almost completely wiped out by Buggy and his crew. Leaving these things behind was to ensure they were prepared just in case. After all, in this world, strength was everything.
As for the way out, this was another way out he left for them. If anything unexpected happened here, they would have a way to escape. And even if they didn't want to leave now, if their descendants wanted to leave in the future, they wouldn't have to risk their lives searching for it. This was also to leave them a way out. Of course, it was also to leave a way out for other pirates who got lost here. Perhaps this way out would also reduce a lot of trouble on this island.
Three days passed quickly. The order on the island was basically restored. The villagers were dealing with the mess caused by the fighting. Buggy and his crew, after making some preparations, boarded the Glory with the remaining subordinates of Gote, ready to set sail.
Under the farewells of all the islanders, the Glory set sail again.
The ones leading the way were the remaining subordinates of Gote. They were driving their dilapidated pirate ships. This time, the scale was much smaller than Gote's. There were only seven or eight pirate ships in total.
Letting them lead the way was to avoid taking the wrong path. Buggy and his crew only knew the general direction. If they were to navigate themselves, they might not find the place. They might even get lost in the fog.
These dilapidated pirate ships weren't very fast. Buggy and his crew could keep up with them even if they were only sailing at half their speed.
With the speed of these dilapidated pirate ships, it would take three days. Buggy and his crew might only need a day and a half, but there was no way around it. To avoid getting lost and for the arrangements that followed, they could only do this.
They sailed for three days at sea. Everything was calm. They didn't encounter any major dangers. Only the weather was a bit rough at times. They had now arrived at the sea area where the exit was located.
When they arrived here, they could vaguely see the scene outside the exit with their naked eyes. Outside the fog, there was a blue sky and a vast expanse of sea without any fog.
This scene was completely different from the scene in the fog. Perhaps this was really the route to the New World.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces were filled with joy. They began their next actions.
Although this sea area looked calm, according to Gote's subordinates, any ship that approached this sea area would be attacked by Sea Kings from the bottom of the sea. They also explained that Gote had already eliminated most of the Sea Kings. Now, there were probably only a few Sea Kings circling here.
Gote's subordinates, carrying the bodies, separated and acted. They started to lure the remaining Sea Kings from different directions.
Buggy and his crew didn't feel any guilt about using these bodies to lure the Sea Kings. These people were already dead. They weren't killed by them. They had no connection to them and didn't know them. Their fate was going to be like this anyway. Buggy and his crew weren't that kind of pedantic people. Since everything was already prepared, they wouldn't think about finding other methods.
Buggy and his crew, the few who were stronger, also set out with these people.
They had to eliminate the Sea Kings after luring them out. Gote's subordinates couldn't do that. So, Buggy and his crew had to do it. Of course, only those with sufficient strength could do it. Otherwise, they might get hurt themselves.
Those who went out separately were Shiryu, Weevil, and a group consisting of Lafitte and Daddy. Shiryu and Weevil were strong enough to fight these Sea Kings alone. Daddy and Lafitte were a bit weaker, but together they had a certain degree of confidence. At the very least, they could protect themselves and hold off one Sea King.
Buggy also approached that sea area. He didn't join the baiting team. Instead, he stayed on the side, watching the team, in case anything unexpected happened. He was also preparing to provide support.
As a large number of bodies were thrown into the sea from different directions, the smell of blood drifted in the water. The sea below quickly reacted. Several huge black shadows swam towards these targets.
Shiryu and the others on these ships quickly noticed these figures. They didn't rush to act. Instead, they continued to wait.
They had to inflict heavy damage on these Sea Kings immediately. They couldn't let them return to the sea with injuries.
In the sea, these Sea Kings were kings. If they escaped into the sea, everyone would be helpless against them. Buggy and his crew might even be attacked by these angry Sea Kings. They might destroy Buggy's ship from the bottom of the sea.
To prevent this from happening, they had to wait for the best opportunity to inflict the most damage.
