Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: I Hope You'll Give Me Face

[Hundred-Beast Kaido: Oh? That Buggy guy usually hides his strength? If that's true, I'm interested in fighting him. So, what do you say, little Buggy? Care for a match? Urororororo.]

[Pirate 1: To actually get an invitation to fight from one of the Four Emperors, Hundred-Beast Kaido... Could that Buggy really be that strong, just hiding his power all along?]

[Pirate 2: Impossible! Looking at his previous performance, I couldn't see it at all. He was completely a coward afraid of death.]

[Pirate 3: But that Buggy guy did things many wouldn't dare. First, he provoked Whitebeard, then he completely disregarded Red-Hair. Someone like that must have something to rely on, right? If not, is he just an idiot?]

[Buggy the Clown: Shut up! You're the idiot!]

[Pirate 4: Ooooh, the man himself appears! Judging by your words, are you really hiding your strength? I'm quite curious now.]

[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara! In that case, little Buggy, why don't we fulfill the agreement from the video? How about I come find you for a match?]

[Red-Hair Shanks: Hahahaha! Buggy, I never knew you were so strong now! Two Emperors want to fight you? It makes me want to have a match with you too.]

Buggy Pirates Ship

Watching the words of Kaido and Whitebeard on the screen, Buggy's face remained calm, but he was terrified inside.

Damn you, Shanks! It's all because of you! Now so many people have their eyes on me! Damn it, what should I do?

The former Impel Down prisoners beside him, completely unaware of his thoughts, shouted proudly.

"As expected of Captain Buggy! So amazing! Facing challenges from Kaido and Whitebeard, he remains so calm. We really still have much to learn from him!"

"Right! As crewmembers of Captain Buggy, the future ruler of the seas, we must learn to stay calm to keep up with his pace!"

"I never thought I could follow such a powerful existence. It's truly touching!"

...

No one knew the thoughts of Buggy and his crew.

They watched the sky screen, continuing to see how Red-Hair would stop the war.

〖After Buggy's angry scolding, Red-Hair smiled and tried to calm him.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Don't be angry anymore."

Having said that, he stepped forward, walking towards the center of the battlefield.

"Shouldn't that be enough? If you continue fighting like this, you'll only endlessly increase the losses on both sides. If any of you still haven't had enough fun... then come. Let us, the Red-Hair Pirates, keep you company."

Behind him, the nine members of the Red-Hair Pirates, all his officers, stood ready, waiting for the others' response.

Red-Hair then turned his gaze to Blackbeard. "So, what's your answer, Teach? No, I should call you Blackbeard now."

"Zehahahaha! Red-Hair, you're becoming more and more imposing. But that scar on you suits you quite well."

Blackbeard sneered coldly. The tension between the two sides grew increasingly intense. Then, he suddenly laughed again.

"Zehahahaha! Forget it. That's enough. I've already gotten everything I wanted anyway. It's still too early to fight you now. Come on, men! Let's go! The fight with the Red-Hair Pirates... will begin another day."

Saying this, he led all his crew members and left the Summit War battlefield.〗

[Pirate 1: Huh? Blackbeard really just left like that?]

[Pirate 2: Truly unexpected. But will the Marines just let him go? If they don't stop him, he'll be a huge menace in the future.]

[Pirate 3: Given the situation on the battlefield, there's probably no choice. This war should be ending soon.]

[Pirate 4: It should be. But I wonder how Red-Hair will persuade the Marines?]

After this pirate spoke, others were also very curious about this point.

Meanwhile, the video played to the conversation between Red-Hair and the Marines.

〖After Blackbeard and his crew left, Red-Hair sheathed his large sword.

His gaze swept across the entire field as he spoke calmly.

"Everyone, here and now, I hope you'll give me face. The funerals of Whitebeard and Ace... leave them to us, the Red-Hair Pirates. The footage of this war has already spread across the world. I absolutely will not allow anyone to tarnish their deaths."

Upon hearing Red-Hair's words, Marine Vice Admiral Doberman interrupted angrily.

"What joke are you trying to make? Only by displaying the heads of these two can this be considered a complete victory for the Marines! How could we possibly hand them over to you?"

Although he was unwilling, Fleet Admiral Sengoku calmly agreed to Red-Hair's request.

"No problem. For you, I'll give you this face. If there are any issues later, I will take full responsibility."

Sengoku then turned to the others.

"Then now... the war is officially over. All wounded, receive treatment immediately."

"The war is over!"〗

[Mad Monk Urouge of Skypiea: The Summit War is finally over. What a massive war it was.]

[Firetank Pirates Captain Capone Bege: The all-out war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines has finally ended. This war doesn't seem to have been good for either side.]

[Fallen Marine Rear Admiral Drake: But the Whitebeard Pirates suffered greater losses, right? Not only was their captain, Whitebeard, killed in battle, but even the one they wanted to save, Fire Fist Ace, was killed. Add the others... the Whitebeard Pirates can be said to have been completely defeated.]

[Civilian 1: It's a pity. This was only the original outcome of the war. Now, because of the sky screen, the outcome of the Summit War has completely changed. If it had gone according to the original, how good would that have been? Those hateful pirates should all be wiped out! If they're allowed to live, we civilians can only live in fear every day.]

[Pirate 1: You civilians always think pirates are bad. But I don't see the Marines and the World Government treating you that well either.]

[Pirate 2: Don't bother arguing with those clueless civilians. What I'm more curious about now is what the next 'Iconic Scene' will be. That one sentence alone isn't clear at all.]

[Pirate 3: The Iconic Scene is called 〈See You Again, Luffy〉. It should still be related to Straw Hat kid, right?]

[Pirate 4: Why is it all related to Straw Hat? Does the sky screen favor him that much?]
