Uta merely taught Buggy a lesson to vent her anger, so she didn't use her full strength.
Additionally, Buggy's own resilience was quite remarkable, so after being knocked down, he was only briefly dizzy before regaining consciousness.
The first thing Buggy did upon waking up was to touch his nose, which was throbbing with pain.
When he saw the crimson bloodstains on his hand, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and his expression became distorted with rage.
Activating his Chop-Chop Fruit ability, his body separated from his legs, granting him the ability to float.
Floating up from the ground, Buggy stared furiously at the three unfamiliar individuals before him.
Seeing the Straw Hat on Luffy's head was already infuriating enough, but now his most cherished red nose was injured, and his heart was instantly filled with complete fury.
Facing Luffy and the others, he roared in a deep voice.
"You guys have thoroughly enraged me!"
Facing such an enraged Buggy, Nami immediately shrank behind Luffy, clutching his shoulder and peeking out.
She kept muttering.
"It's over, it's over, that clown Buggy is really angry, we're dead for sure now."
Nami couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that he truly lived up to his reputation as a 15-million-Berries pirate; he was simply terrifying.
Meanwhile, Buggy's subordinates were all trembling uncontrollably, whispering to each other.
"Captain Buggy has become so terrifying!"
"This is the first time I've seen Captain Buggy so angry!"
"Those guys are dead for sure this time, daring to make Captain Buggy so angry."
"Who told them to dare injure Captain Buggy's red nose? That's Captain Buggy's most cherished spot."
"Hey! Shut up, be careful Captain Buggy hears you!"
...
"Hey, Red Nose! I have something to tell you."
Just then, while the pirates were whispering, they suddenly heard such a sentence.
Instantly, everyone fell silent, their breathing hitched, as if they were frozen in place.
Their terrified pupils even shrank to tiny dots, and they mechanically turned their heads, following the direction of the voice.
They looked at the calm and composed man wearing the Straw Hat.
They were too scared to utter a single word.
At this moment, to still dare to say those three words, even God couldn't save him now.
Even Nami was almost driven to tears by Luffy.
At a time like this, why provoke him?!
Nami was on the verge of tears, despairingly burying her head in Luffy's shoulder, lamenting in her heart how she ended up with such a foolish Captain.
At this moment, Buggy, upon hearing those three words, his expression became incredibly sinister, and his whole body seemed to emanate a terrifying murderous aura, chilling to the bone.
He floated in mid-air, his bloodshot eyes, red with fury, staring unblinkingly at Luffy, radiating killing intent.
"You… splendidly die for me!"
Buggy roared hysterically, and a long sword appeared in one of his hands, while four small knives appeared between the fingers of his other hand.
Just as Buggy activated his ability, separating his two hands and preparing to attack simultaneously from both sides.
Luffy, who had remained still, suddenly looked up sharply at Buggy.
Instantly, Buggy, who had originally been imposing and filled with murderous intent, causing all the pirates present to feel fear and dread, suddenly broke into a cold sweat, as if extremely startled, his pupils dilated, and snot ran down his nose.
And the swords in his hands clattered to the ground at this moment, making a series of noises.
The Buggy who was previously like a devil, in the blink of an eye, seemed to have transformed into a frightened lamb.
This scene instantly confused all the pirates present.
"What happened to Captain Buggy?"
"Why does he suddenly look so scared?"
"No one did anything, right? Why is he like this?"
The sound of weapons dropping and the pirates' confusion also reached Nami's ears, who was clinging to Luffy's shoulder.
She looked up in confusion, immediately feeling puzzled.
Then, in the next moment, these people collectively witnessed an extremely incredible scene.
Buggy, who had been full of anger and in a combat stance, suddenly retracted his body, returned to his original form, and then scurried over to Luffy, a fawning smile on his face, and said in a soft voice.
"Mr. Straw Hat, you just said you had something to tell me, what is it?"
Luffy noticed a fancy chair nearby and thought, why stand when you can sit?
So he took a few steps, walked over, and sat down.
This scene greatly astonished Buggy's subordinates.
"That guy actually sat in Captain Buggy's special seat."
"Captain Buggy will definitely kill him."
Then, these people saw Buggy once again scurrying over, still maintaining his fawning smile.
This time, the pirates were completely dumbfounded.
Nami was also shocked by Luffy at this moment, but more than that, she was puzzled.
She couldn't understand why a 15-million-Berries pirate would follow Luffy's every command.
And she had been right behind Luffy the whole time, and she hadn't seen him do anything.
Her curiosity about Luffy grew stronger and stronger.
After sitting down, Luffy finally got to the point, looking at Buggy and saying.
"You got a Grand Line navigation chart from the Marine fortress in Shells Town, right?"
Buggy hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly replied.
"Yes!"
Without even waiting for Luffy to speak, he waved his hand and instructed a subordinate, saying.
"Go get me that Grand Line navigation chart."
The subordinate was both hesitant and confused upon hearing this.
"Captain Buggy, didn't you say we're going to the Grand Line next, and that chart is indispensable?"
Buggy's originally fawning smile snapped back, and when he looked at that subordinate, his usual anger and authority had returned.
"Stop talking nonsense, go get it for me!"
After speaking, his face once again transformed into a smile as he looked at Luffy.
At this moment, everyone present except Uta was stunned.
They were all speculating how Luffy managed to make Buggy submit.
At the same time, they were all shocked that Luffy was now being respectfully served by a 15-million-Berries pirate.
Meanwhile, while Buggy's subordinate went to retrieve the navigation chart, Luffy asked about another matter.
"Do you have a special Buggy Bomb here? Do you have the blueprints?"
Hearing Luffy ask about his special Buggy Bomb, especially mentioning the blueprints, Buggy immediately guessed that Luffy wanted to learn this technique from him.
Fury instantly filled his heart, but outwardly, he maintained a fawning expression and replied.
"Yes, I'll go get it for you!"
With that, Buggy turned to retrieve the blueprints.
Just then, Luffy called out to Buggy.
"Red Nose, don't even think about getting a fake blueprint to fool me, otherwise, you know the consequences."
This warning made Buggy shiver.
He had indeed thought about doing that for a moment.
But with this warning, he felt a bit cowardly.
Recalling the ability this guy just displayed, it was undoubtedly the same ability as Shanks and his former Captain Roger, Conqueror's Haki.
Facing such an opponent, he had no chance of winning at all.
He then nodded and ran off to get the blueprints.
Before long, both charts were successively delivered into Luffy's hands.
He had absolutely no prior knowledge of cannonball manufacturing technology, with almost zero grasp of basic concepts.
So even with his heaven-defying insight, he found it obscure and difficult to understand.
However, he secretly observed Buggy's expression, and he seemed to have become much more honest after his reminder.
Therefore, the blueprints were most likely real.
But to be safe, he still asked Buggy for a Buggy Bomb.
In case he was deceived, he would still have the opportunity to analyze the design method by dissecting this cannonball.
After achieving the purpose of this trip, Luffy decided to leave.
However, before leaving, he decided to do a good deed for this small town.
