After crossing the Upside-Down Mountain, Lily and the others successfully arrived at the Twin Gorges, where a huge whale was roaming.

When Bucky saw Rab, he thought of an old man and shouted in the direction of Lily's ship: "Big Sister Lily, thank you for your help along the way. Let's part here and see you again if we are lucky. After all, I still want to bring our clown circus's performances to the whole world!"

Lily ignored Buggy's obviously fake declaration and looked carefully at the whale that was as big as an island. The whale had a big head and a small body, the same color as the deep sea, and its head was covered with scars.

Just then, a brightly dressed figure walked out from the top of the whale. It was a white-haired old man with a bird feather headdress on his head, dressed in red and green clothes, and round reading glasses, with only a split beard on his chin.

The old man shouted to Buggy from a distance: "Long time no see, Buggy boy, I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would not be a pirate, this is really surprising!"

“Oh no!” For Buggy, who didn’t want anyone to know that he was once a member of Roger’s crew, the appearance of Crocus was not a good thing. However, just as he was thinking about how to remain a stranger to this old guy, Lily spoke.

“It seems that the old man is very familiar with Bucky!” Lily said with interest.

"We have known each other for a few years. After all, we were on the same ship back then." Kurokas said with a big laugh.

Lily narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that. The reason why she had never asked about Buggy and Roger was because there were some things that Buggy was not suitable to know. Lily didn't really believe what that guy said, and she didn't know if the person in front of her was trustworthy.

"Who has been on the same ship with you? Don't talk nonsense, old man. We don't even know each other, okay?" Buggy shouted, feeling extremely panicked. If the Navy and the World Government knew about that, he would be really finished!

Listening to Buggy's panicked shouting, Lily looked at Crocus and asked with a smile, "Was Grandpa also a member of Roger's crew?"

After hearing what Lily said, all the members of the clown circus, including Alrita, looked at Buggy in shock.

"The captain was once a member of the Pirate King's crew?"

"Ah, I really didn't follow the wrong person!"

"Our captain is really amazing, don't you think so, Liki?"

"Ow~"

……

“That woman said it? She just said it like that?” Bucky looked at Lily in astonishment. It was like a blow to the head. He was completely stunned.

Kurokas opened his eyes wide, and an inexplicable aura gathered around him. He stared at Lily for a moment and said, "With Buggy's personality, he would never say that he is a member of Roger's crew. Who are you, little girl?"

"I'm Monkey D. Lily. You should be more familiar with my grandfather Garp." Lily responded with a smile, "Besides, Buggy probably doesn't even know that his mouth is not very tight. It always leaks air!"

Yes, the reason why Lily didn't trust Bucky was not because this guy couldn't keep secrets, but because Bucky was not careful with his mouth and always let things slip.

"That's right, but what's your relationship with Monkey D. Luffy who passed by here a few days ago?" Crocus stared at Lily for a long time before speaking, "By the way, my name is Crocus, and I used to be Roger's ship doctor."

"That's my brother." Lily felt that the old man was old, and his eyesight seemed to be intermittently bad. He always liked to stare at people for a long time before speaking.

"Haha..." Crocus couldn't help but laugh, "Really? Garp's grandson is the Pirate King, this is really interesting!"

"As Roger's ship doctor, you must have also been to Raftel, right?" Lily's smile was dangerous.

"Why, girl, are you also interested in Raftel?" Kurokas did not give a direct answer. He could sense that the little girl in front of him was in extreme danger at the moment.

When Bucky heard this conversation, he felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Um... Big Sister Lily, can we go now?"

“Sure!” Lily answered straightforwardly. Originally, she asked these guys to follow her just to see how much binding force the Book of Contract had on Bucky, but now she had more important things to do.

Upon hearing this, Buggy quickly ordered the boat to leave. Mochi and the others wanted to stay, but were kicked hard by Buggy.

"That's ONE PIECE, Captain!" No pirate can resist the temptation of the final island. It is the dream of countless pirates.

"Yes, Captain!" Kabbage couldn't help but shout.

Alrita looked at Buggy quietly. Given how much this man pursued treasure, why was he so afraid of Raftel? Alrita knew there must be some reason behind this, so she did not stop him.

"Get out, the guys are setting sail!" Bucky kicked everyone angrily, and the boat only slowed down after it got away from Lily.

"Have you been to Raftel?" It was not until this moment that Alrita asked, and all the crew members couldn't help but look at Buggy.

Buggy rubbed his brows with a headache, and shook his head after a long time, "We got off the ship before reaching Raftel. I have never seen ONE PIECE, but I know that thing is probably different from the treasure we know."

"What?" Mochi yelled in astonishment, "Is ONE PIECE a scam?"

"How is that possible? That's ONE PIECE!" Kabbage couldn't help but say, and all the circus members became agitated.

“Quiet!” Buggy called out to the panicked crowd fiercely. “Roger is too much of a character to lie. One Piece must exist, but the treasure that guy really thinks is there can’t be gold coins or anything like that.”

"What could that be?" Alrita asked, seeing the fear on Baki's face that had not completely disappeared, "Why are you so scared?"

Buggy said helplessly, "Because I don't want to know any news about Raftel. If we really knew something, it would mean that we would be enemies with the entire World Government, and that we would be close to death! I don't even want to hear about things that would cost lives."

Buggy is very self-aware most of the time, otherwise, as Roger's trainee crew member, he would not have run to the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest place. He knows that compared to the monsters on the sea, he is extremely weak.

Probably the most outrageous thing I have ever done in my life is to challenge Whitebeard together with that bastard Red Hair. How much did I drink at that time to be so brave?
