Buggy Tried to Show Off, So I Made Him the Richest Man at Sea

[Voyage + comedy + contrasting characters + sea beast army + wish fulfillment. Also, come see if this feels like a blockbuster!]

“Gwahahaha! It’s all going according to the captain’s plan!”

Watching the sea beasts overturn the Marine fleet, Buggy laughed without restraint, his hands on his hips.

“Smack.”

His first mate, Mohji, expressionless, slapped the ledger against his face.

“Captain, thanks to the boast you just made, the enemy’s misjudgment has worsened. The beast-herd outsourcing fee and the Rikian appeasement fee come to three million Berries in total. I’ve deducted them from your banquet budget.”

Buggy: “???”

This is the story of a miserly first mate leading a gang of spendthrifts to get rich by force on the high seas.

In Mohji’s eyes, there are no enemies on the ocean, only moving “assets” and “liabilities.”

A Marine battleship? That’s three million Berries on the move!

A rampaging sea beast? That’s a top-tier collision-prevention asset that’ll save us eighty percent on ship repairs in the future!

“Mohji, that lion is eating the Marines’ emergency medicine. Should we do something?”

“Why bother? That’s contraband Vice Admiral Rat was hoarding. Using his medicine to save our beast is called a reasonable offset!”

When the Marine vice admiral arrives with heavy artillery to surround them, what awaits him isn’t a pirate’s blade, but an indictment backed by an impeccably itemized bill!
