RBTC: Chapter 90

---

As the two sides drew closer, a burly man with a missing arm stepped out from the ship facing Buggy and his crew. This was Gote.

Seeing Buggy and his crew, a smile spread across Gote's face. He said, "Gentlemen, I wonder what brings you here. Are you looking to join us in leaving?"

The other party's strength might be good, and they might have come to chase them for this purpose. He was seriously injured and had some reservations. If they were truly here for that purpose, then there was no need for a conflict. And this mission would have a powerful ally.

"The situation with the islanders was caused by your ability."

Hearing that the other party didn't answer his question and instead asked such a question, Gote realized that things were heading in the worst direction.

Gote's eyes and expression changed instantly. He looked at Buggy and his crew and said directly, "Yes, I did it. What does it matter if those ants die?"

Knowing that the other party was not friendly, Gote no longer restrained himself. He directly admitted to it.

"The Snow Woman asked us to take care of those residents. And now we haven't done that. We're here to get an explanation."

"Hahaha, then I'll give you an explanation. You're all going to die here today."

Hearing the name Snow Woman, Gote instantly felt his blood boil. He was furious. He didn't expect the Snow Woman to come back and cause trouble for him. He was sure that the other party wouldn't let this go. So, he had no reservations.

"Kill them all."

Gote didn't attack himself. On the one hand, he wanted his subordinates to test the other party's strength. On the other hand, he was seriously injured and his fighting ability was greatly reduced. He needed to recover as soon as possible and avoid fighting.

These subordinates weren't affected by his ability. After hearing Gote's order, they all charged towards Buggy and his crew.

Seeing them all charging towards the Glory, most of Kuro's crew used Soru (moonwalk) to get onto the other party's ship. This was to prevent the battle from affecting the Glory.

Buggy didn't move. He stood aside and watched the battle. He didn't use Haki directly. If he used Haki for every battle, it wouldn't help Kuro and his crew train. How could they grow? If the strength difference between the two sides wasn't too big, Buggy would try not to use Haki.

Gote's subordinates had varying levels of strength. Some were stronger, and some were weaker. But overall, their strength was not as good as Kuro's crew. Under the attacks of everyone, these subordinates quickly fell, falling to the ground in large groups.

Seeing this situation, Gote realized something was wrong. His subordinates probably wouldn't last long.

A fierce look appeared in his eyes. Looking at his subordinates, Gote shouted again, "Everyone, don't hold back. Kill them all."

As soon as Gote's words came out, his subordinates instantly changed. Some of them had already been afraid, seeing their companions falling in large numbers and retreating. But after hearing these words, their eyes instantly became fervent. They recklessly swung their swords and charged madly towards everyone.

Seeing their fervent eyes, Buggy knew that the other party had definitely used his ability. He also guessed that the other party might have tampered with their memories. These subordinates might be fearless after hearing certain words and fight to the death for Gote.

This battle was more intense. Although the other party's strength was still the same, their reckless fighting style and ferocity made up for some of the gap. This made the few weaker crew members on Kuro's side a little hesitant. If they had to deal with these enemies alone, they might slowly fall behind under their ferocity.

But Shiryu and the others were here. In the face of absolute strength, even the fiercest people couldn't withstand their continuous attacks. Soon, many more of Gote's subordinates fell.

As time passed, the number of enemies decreased. Gote looked at this situation and his face turned serious. He knew that if this continued, with his current condition and the other party's strength, he might be defeated by them, even killed.

His eyes looked towards Jessica, who was fighting alongside everyone else. He had a good plan in mind, a plan that would guarantee he achieved his goal.

Gote instantly disappeared from his original position. Buggy, who had been constantly paying attention to the situation on the ship with his Observation Haki, immediately noticed Gote's movement. He sensed Gote's whereabouts and discovered that his target was Jessica.

As Gote was about to appear in front of Jessica, Buggy also instantly disappeared from his original position. He instantly appeared in front of Jessica.

Gote was about to grab Jessica. A smug smile spread across his face. But at that moment, a figure appeared in front of him. His face instantly changed drastically. He guessed that the other party had already sensed his movements.

At that moment, Buggy swung En'yō in his hand, and a huge slash of sword energy cleaved towards Gote in front of him.

Seeing this slash of sword energy, Gote instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect the other party to be a swordsman of the Haki realm. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

He didn't have time to regret or make any effective defenses. The slash of sword energy directly struck Gote.

Gote's body instantly flew backward, smashing through the houses on the ship and landing on another ship.

Seeing Gote fly backward after being struck by his sword, Buggy didn't hesitate. He used Soru (moonwalk) and chased after him.

Gote, who was on the other ship, didn't die from that blow. At the last moment, he used Armament Haki and barely blocked the blow. But his current condition wasn't good. He was already seriously injured. Now, after taking this blow, blood spewed from his mouth again.

Buggy arrived in front of Gote. He didn't rush to attack. Instead, he stood not far from him.

Gote noticed that Buggy had arrived. Under Buggy's gaze, he straightened up and looked at Buggy, his eyes filled with despair. He knew that in his current, heavily injured state, facing Buggy, a swordsman in his prime, he would definitely die in battle.

"Why? Why are you all against me? Don't you want to go out? You're just a bunch of ants. What do you mean to people like us? Why are you helping them? Why are you coming after me for them?"

As he said these words, Gote's eyes showed madness. He was only one step away from success. And he had already dealt with the most troublesome enemy. He was about to succeed, but then another obstacle appeared. And he was about to die here. How could he accept this? How could he not go crazy?

"Those who kill will be killed. Those who do evil will surely be punished."

Hearing these words, Gote instantly calmed down a little. At the same time, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
