nBuck in Disguise

nIn the 160 Division Square, a Marine with a knife stared at Kaz and narrowed his eyes. “You’re next.”

nHis name is Buck Arlo, a pirate of the New World. His original bounty is 370 million and he is known as the ‘Evil Disguiser’. He is a ‘disguise man’ who ate the ‘Disguise Fruit’. He is Observation Haki and is good at swordsmanship.

nAs a person in disguise, his ability is very simple. He can transform into the appearance of the object he sees, but the time limit is only one day. After one day, he can no longer transform into the appearance of the object, but he can ‘disguise’ both living and dead things.

nWith this ability, he is famous in the Marine because he is especially good at disguising himself as a Marine, sneaking into the base, and then killing and robbing ships and supplies.

nHe was a newcomer last year, one of the supernovas. At first, he was also ambitious and wanted to go to the New World to meet Yonkō (Four Emperors).

nBut soon, he learned his lesson.

nHis target was one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Hundred Beast Kaido.

nHowever, he did not even see him. He was only destroyed by one of the Three Disasters under his command, the huge man, Jack the Drought.

nThe ship was gone, and so were his subordinates. Even if he tried his best to escape to the edge of the Calm Belt, he was caught up and sent flying. If not for his good luck, he would have been buried at the bottom of the sea with the sneeze of a Sea King.

nWhen he arrived in East Blue, he killed a few Marines along the way, disguised himself as them, and sneaked into several branches. Now, he came to the 160th branch.

nAccording to the original way of doing things, Barker must have sneaked into the Marine branch and snatched the ship to sail, but he doesn’t have any manpower now and he can’t sail alone.

nMoreover, the battle with the Beast Pirates had already beaten his courage out of him. He did not even see Kaido with his own eyes. Just Jack alone made him lose his courage.

nNow, he no longer wants to go to the New World and compete with others. He only wants to form a pirate group safely and then return to Paradise and live in Paradise.

nIt is impossible to stay in East Blue. Marine’s control over the four seas is very high, especially East Blue. If he shows his tracks here, he will be caught very soon and will not be able to be arrogant for long.

nOnly a place like Grand Line is suitable for pirates like them to do whatever they want.

nHe needed to find a Marine who was not in a very high position but could dispatch Battleships and disguise himself to sail smoothly.

n“Today is indeed my lucky day!”

nBarker looked at the impassioned Kaz on the stage and had a plan.

nHe had been listening to the name of this person when he was lurking in the Marine. It was said that he was a very famous Marine in the vicinity. He attacked pirates mercilessly and was loved by ordinary Marines.

nWith his name, perhaps he could go directly to the Grand Line.

nAt that time, he will summon his subordinates on the Grand Line and then stay in the Paradise and never go out again.

n“It’s a pity that Blackbeard occupied Crocodile’s Shichibukai. Otherwise, that position could be fought for.” Barker thought.

nKaz’s speech ended and he and the Marines got on the ship and left, while Buck waited for two hours to make sure Kaz and the others weren’t coming back. He came to the harbor alone and prepared to start transforming.

n“Lorraine, what are you doing?”

nAt this moment, a Marine shouted from the back and came over and put his arm around his shoulder intimately. “Still thinking about Captain Kascha? That’s true, Captain Kascha is a great person.”

nBarker narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Chief Cass’s words are indeed refreshing.”

nThe Marine in disguise, named Lorraine, had long been killed by him.

n“Indeed, Mr. Kuro is a great man, and Captain Kascao is also great.” The Marine nodded with a passionate face. “I also want to learn from them and become a tenacious Marine!”

nBarker revealed a sinister smile. “Tenacious Marine? Let me tell you a truth. The so-called Tenacious Will will be crushed into pieces when it meets a strong person.”

n“Lorraine, what’s wrong?”

nThe Marine sensed that something was wrong. Although Lorraine liked to smile, she would never smile so evilly.

n“You don’t understand how powerful the strong people in the sea are, but you don’t need to understand.”

nBarker suddenly reached out and grabbed Marine’s neck and easily lifted him up. His hand was like a steel band, squeezing Marine until his eyes rolled back and his face was purple and he couldn’t say a word.

n“I have to say, I don’t know if your luck is good or bad. According to the original plan, when the effect of my disguise wears off, you will be next. But Cass’s arrival made me change the plan. Originally, you didn’t have to die, but… who asked you to be next to me.”

nHis figure gradually changed like soft mud. His skin shed from his body and he became a pale-skinned man with an evil face.

nCrack!

nAs soon as he exerted strength in his hand, Marine’s neck tilted to one side. Barker threw him into the sea and watched him disappear with the waves. With a light smile, the skin wriggled again and he turned into Kaz’s bearded appearance.

n“From now on, I’m Kaz.”

nBarker laughed at the sea.

n… .

nTwo hours later, Kaz boarded a new Battleship and sailed out to sea.

nKaz’s identity is very useful.

nThe head of the base did not even ask him why he was alone. He only heard that after he requested to go to sea, he gave him the ship supplies and personnel.

nThis perfected Barker’s plan.

nDuring this period of time, he had gone back and forth to several branches and had already memorized the faces of the branch base deputy and some officers, but he lacked an opportunity to sail alone.

nBut now ‘Kaz’ has given him one. That so-called ‘Tenacious Justice’ is a very useful method.

nHe wanted to bring 160 Marine branches to carry out justice and was quickly approved, and the plan should be born.

nThis identity can only be maintained for 24 hours, but during this time, he can go to other branches and point out a few higher-ranking Marines in front of the Marine base and let him lead Marines to other branches. However, he can choose one and disguise himself as him and easily go over.

nIn this way, he could advance to the Red Line and then cross the Upside Down Mountain with the power of Marine.

nThe plan was perfect.

nJust as Barker was thinking this, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the sea.

n“Kaz!!!”

nThe sound was so loud that it almost penetrated the sea and everyone on the ship heard it.

nBarker turned his head and saw a Battleship suddenly appear on the sea level. The voice came from a young Marine standing at the bow.

nHearing the voice, Barker felt the anger contained in that person.

n‘Enemies?’

nBarker’s face fell.

nIt can’t be that bad. Marines have enemies?

nHowever, he looked at the Marines on the ship who admired him and smiled confidently. With his current reputation, he would not trouble himself to expose himself.
