Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

21. Deal

"Demolish the building!"-Pecco grin

Pecco's mens come forward with weapons and move toward the restaurant. Mantis have a horror look on her face, and she move to stand in front of her restaurant.

"YOU WON'T DEMOLISH ANYTHING TONIGHT. IF YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY RESTAURANT, THEN YOU NEED TO DEFEAT ME FIRST!"-Mantis

"How is it, boss?"-Toti

"Just catch her, pecco~!"-Pecco

The thugs then grin and about to attack Mantis, when suddenly,

*BANG*

A gunshot is heard, and a thug fall on the ground. They all stopped and look at the source of the shot. It's Cricket who shot his flintlock to a thug on his right side.

"Oioioi, don't ignore us like that! We're lonely you know."-Buggy

"Y-you..."-Toti's hand trembled while he point at Buggy & Cricket

"What? Never see someone get killed before? Well, don't worry, i didn't kill him just now. But he will die if you don't treat him, so it will be your fault if he didn't make it."-Cricket smirk

The other thugs tremble after seeing their friend got shot, and hear Cricket's words.

"Bastard, just who are you?"-Pecco is angry

"Pirates. Now, you know who you're facing with."-Buggy

"If you're not afraid of death, then come!"-Cricket

The thugs seem hesitant, and many of them back off. Pecco grit his teeth seeing his mens backing off.

"DON'T BE AFRAID! Did you forget who is standing behind our back, pecco~?"-Pecco

"Ah!? He's right, we have them behind us, we don't need to be afraid."-Toti

"Them?"-Buggy

"Hehehe, we have the Great Mafia behind our back, Red Hammer."-Toti

".... Who?"-Buggy

"Red Axe Gang, a Mafia group with total of 50 million beri on their head. Leader 'Red Axe' Visco have 35 million beri on his head. His mafia group is famous for their weapon, axes, which will turn red from their enemy's blood, hence the name Red Axe. His right-hand man 'Chainsaw' Taki have 15 million, and he use nail gun like a pistol."-Mantis

".... Are they a mafia group or lumberjack group?"-Buggy

"PFFT, HAHAHAHA, THEY CERTAINLY USE WOOD CUTTING TOOLS SO THEY LOOKS LIKE ONE."-Cricket

"DON'T LAUGH! They're a strong group and have done many bad & cruel deeds in the past. They're one of the biggest mafia on North Blue, and also these guys' backer."-Mantis

"Why would a big mafia group like them backed up a group of thugs like this?"-Buggy

"Because we are their subordinate group."-Toti grin

Mantis explain that she have a big debt to the group. She took debt for her mother's medical fee, but her mother died even after she took the big loan. Mantis want to pay her debt slowly and she was sure she could do it, because her restaurant was the best here, it was.

But then, the Mafia Leader's son took a liking to her. He said her debt will be erased if she want to marry him, but she don't want to. He could send his mens to force her, but he want her to come to him and agree to marry him by herself.

The Leader's son, Wisco, then sent his mens to attack her restaurant, so that she won't have any place to return, as the restaurant is also her house. That's why it have broken walls & windows. But then Mantis made a deal with them. She will pay her debt in 3 months even though it should be a 3 year contract.
