"Buggy-sama, I'll go in and take a look myself."
After saying this, Tesoro saw that Buggy still didn't react. He immediately rushed towards the slave market. Shiryu, standing beside him, noticed his intention and immediately grabbed Tesoro, saying, "Our captain is using Observation Haki to observe the situation inside the market. Wait a moment."
Hearing Shiryu say this, Tesoro frowned. He didn't understand what this meant. He didn't know how Buggy could check the situation inside the slave market while standing here.
Tesoro looked at Shiryu. He noticed that the other party's eyes were very determined. He realized that Shiryu wasn't lying to him. Tesoro struggled for a bit, but he couldn't pull his arm out of the other party's grasp. He could only helplessly give up and wait anxiously in place.
At this time, Buggy's brow also began to furrow. He had a general understanding of the situation inside. He knew things might be urgent.
Buggy's Observation Haki detected several powerful auras inside the slave market. And he also sensed a figure that made him disgusted.
It was this figure that made him feel uneasy. Within his perception, there was a Celestial Dragon wearing a fishbowl on his head, fat and foolish, in the slave market. And he guessed that the powerful auras were World Government agents.
Celestial Dragons were not easy to deal with. Even Buggy now, if he touched him, would cause endless trouble. He might even be wiped out. He also had a vague idea of what they were looking for when the Celestial Dragon came here. Perhaps Stella, who they were looking for this time, had been bought by this Celestial Dragon. They might be facing this Celestial Dragon because of Stella, because of Tesoro. Buggy's face turned serious.
Tesoro, who was anxiously waiting, also noticed the change in Buggy's expression. He vaguely felt a sense of unease. He also guessed that Buggy might be observing the situation inside the slave market.
"Buggy-sama, what's the situation inside?"
Although he wasn't sure if Buggy was actually checking the situation inside the slave market, the anxious Tesoro still asked this question. He wanted to know the situation immediately.
Hearing Tesoro's voice, Buggy withdrew his Observation Haki. He looked at Tesoro and said in a serious tone, "A Celestial Dragon is in the slave market picking out slaves. He might buy Stella."
Buggy didn't hide the situation inside or his guess. He wanted Tesoro to know the situation. He also wanted everyone to know the situation. Only then could they make their next move.
"What? A Celestial Dragon is in the slave market? What should we do? What should we do?"
When Tesoro heard the words "Celestial Dragon," his head felt like it had been struck by lightning. His entire brain went blank. He didn't know what to do.
Tesoro, who lived in Sabaody Archipelago, knew the Celestial Dragons' habits. They were very rich, and they loved to buy slaves. Since they were in the slave market picking out slaves, they wouldn't care about money. And any slave who caught their eye would definitely be bought by them. If nothing unexpected happened, Stella might really be bought by a Celestial Dragon.
"Calm down. Stella will be fine. Even if he buys her, I'll get her back for you."
Hearing Buggy say this, Tesoro, who had lost his backbone, immediately looked at him. His eyes flashed with anticipation first, then with helplessness. In that moment, many emotions flashed in his eyes.
When he first heard Buggy say this, Tesoro was very happy. But then he thought about the other party. They were Celestial Dragons. They were the rulers of the world, descendants of the gods. Once you provoked them, you would attract the attention of Marine Admirals. Even if Buggy and his crew were strong, they wouldn't be a match for a Marine Admiral. Once they knew the specific situation, they wouldn't dare to go after the Celestial Dragon.
Tesoro guessed that Buggy might not know about the Celestial Dragons. He didn't know how dangerous they were. Buggy might really want to help him, but once he knew the specific situation of the Celestial Dragons, Buggy might not say this anymore.
"Sigh, Buggy-sama, thank you so much. But you shouldn't get involved in this. You might not know about the Celestial Dragons, but they're really not someone you can easily provoke."
Tesoro now wasn't the future warlord. He knew that Buggy truly wanted to help them. He didn't want Buggy and his crew to offend the Celestial Dragons because of him and cause them endless trouble. They might even be implicated and die. He directly told him that the Celestial Dragons were not easy to deal with.
"Tesoro, I know the risks involved. I also know that once you offend the Celestial Dragons or hurt them, you will attract Marine Admirals. But you are my friend. I can't stand by and watch. And I'm confident that I can escape from a Marine Admiral."
Hearing Buggy's confident words, Tesoro was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe what Buggy was saying. He didn't expect the other party to know how powerful the Celestial Dragons were and still choose to help him. And he was willing to risk dying at the hands of a Marine Admiral to help him.
Tears welled up in Tesoro's eyes. Under everyone's gaze, he bowed and didn't stand up.
Tesoro didn't know what to say. He could only express his gratitude with his actions.
Seeing Tesoro like this, Buggy walked in front of him and helped him up. Looking at Tesoro, whose face was full of tears, Buggy said, "Don't feel burdened. I have the confidence to escape from a Marine Admiral. This isn't a situation where we're doomed."
Buggy did have some confidence. Regardless of his strength, there was Rayleigh, who could rival a Marine Admiral, on this island. Although Buggy didn't want to trouble him, if it really came to that, he might have to ask Rayleigh for help. As long as Rayleigh could temporarily hold off the Marine Admiral, Buggy would be confident that he could escape from here.
Hearing Buggy say this, Tesoro also felt his confidence. He looked at Buggy and made up his mind. He said, "Buggy-sama, I really don't know how to repay your kindness. If you're willing, I'm willing to repay you for the rest of my life. After I rescue Stella, my life is yours to command."
Tesoro knew that he didn't have anything to repay Buggy. The only thing he could think of was his life. This might be the only way he could repay Buggy in the future.
"You don't have to be so polite. I don't want your life. I think after this is over, you'll be wanted by the Marines. You won't be able to survive here. If you're willing, I can accept you as my crew member. I also hope you'll become a member of the Red-Haired Pirates."
Having reached this point, Buggy could only state his purpose. He also believed that Tesoro would agree to him now.
