Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 352: Sudden Work

Buggy keeps teaching Leo the basic knowledge of Devil Fruits. But he doesn't teach any technique or even give ideas regarding the usage of Leo's Flame Flame Fruit. He wants Leo to explore his power however the kid likes.

Children usually have many wild ideas that adults never even thought of. Adults' thinking has been affected by their experience, while children who haven't experienced many things will have more imagination. So Buggy thinks it's better to let Leo use his imagination freely.

That's why Buggy just teaches Leo the basic knowledge of devil fruits like the weaknesses, types, and famous users. But he trains Leo seriously on other aspects like swordsmanship, battle skills, and physical training.

Buggy knows how important it is to have good basics from a young age. So he teaches Leo the best training menu he has formulated using all his experience. Buggy has experienced all levels of power in this world from bottom to top, so his experience is very vast

He needs to prepare Leo well because he is very sure that Leo will enter the world league. As his son, Leo will surely become a target of many big leagues. Not only that, he is Nami's little brother and both of them are very close, so he might get associated with Luffy one way or another in the future.

Their training sessions are also time for father-son bonding. It also makes Leo want to chase his father even more after he realizes that his father is never even a little bit serious against him. Buggy also put more oil into that flame because he knows the importance of having a big goal for people to reach the top.

So, who else can be a better goal for Leo other than one of the strongest individuals in the world? And Buggy prefers his son chasing after him over his enemies because it also means that he is Leo's idol. There's no way a proud father like him will let his son idolize other people's fathers.

However, their father-son bonding time needs to end a month & a half after Leo ate the Flame Flame Fruit. The Caribbean has informed Buggy that they get information on Ope Ope Fruit. A Pirate Crew will sell the fruit to Marine and the transaction will happen on Minion Island, North Blue.

So Buggy immediately calls his crewmates and they return to Conomi Islands in a few hours. No one wastes any time returning after their Captain called, no matter what they were doing. Even those who are in the middle of Snu Snu time leave their partners without any hesitation, that's how loyal the crew is to their Captain.

"Sorry about this, kids. Dad has work to do. I will return as soon as possible after this work is done," says Buggy while hugging his children.

Nami & Leo look sad and even tear up while Nojiko is calmer. She always act strong as the oldest child and never wanted to show any weakness to her little siblings. Nojiko is also the one holding her little siblings' hands as Buggy gets on the ship.

Bellemere pats Nojiko as praise as they wave their hands to Buggy who is departing with his crew. Nojiko also feels lonely when Buggy leaves, but she tries to be strong. They know that Buggy will need to leave sooner or later, but this is just too fast for the kids who have just enjoyed their time with their father.

Buggy also feels sad about leaving his family, but it needs to be done. It still feels lonely though, so he keeps looking at the island from the rear deck until it disappears from his sight. His demeanor changes immediately and he is in Captain Mode now.

"Move at full speed, we will fly over the Red Line through Reverse Mountain," says Buggy.

"Aye aye," says the crew excitedly because they can finally have some action.

They always wanted a break when they were on Lodestar Island. But when they get that break, they missed their adventure. These guys are like teenagers when it comes to this kind of thing, they are labile.

Anyway, the Black Pearl moves very fast and undetected. The Marine that has let their guard down a little after The Clown Pirates made a pact with World Government and haven't made any movements in a few months doesn't even realize that The Clown Pirates have left their base.

This always happens anyway, so no one will get surprised anymore. The Clown Pirates always slip out of Marine's watch, after all. Well, they can even fool New World's Marines, so East Blue's Marines won't stand any chance.

The crew reaches Reverse Mountain in a short time. They want to climb it immediately, but 2 idiot pirate crews are blocking them. Both crews are fighting near the entrance of Reverse Mountain even though this place is dangerous enough.

"Move!" says Buggy shortly to the 2 pirate crews.

"Huh? Who are you?" asks one of the crew's Captains.

"Scram, don't disturb us! I am a pirate with a 25 million bounty," says the other Captain.

The Clowns laugh upon hearing such a funny joke. It's been a long time since someone with a 25 million bounty brags to them and even threatens them. Buggy even sighs hearing it and he looks at the 2 Captains pitifully.

They must've not recognized his crew and thought they have a chance just because they have big Galleon ships and more people than The Clown Pirates. It's not the first time the Clowns meet ignorant people, but it surely is the most entertaining meeting with ignorant people like these guys.

"I will say it for the last time. Move, or we will sink your ships," says Buggy.

The 2 Captains get irritated and decide to attack Clown Pirates first. They shoot their cannons at the Black Pearl at the same time. But the Clown Pirates aren't attacking back and just let the cannonballs hit their ship.

A lot of cannonballs hit the Black Pearl, but it doesn't budge at all. There's not even damage on its body which surprises the 2 Pirate crews. The Clowns are grinning from widely seeing it, including Buggy.

They were deliberately taunting the 2 pirate crews so that they will get attacked. The Clown Pirates haven't had the chance to test their ship's upgraded body's toughness in battle. So they decided to test it after seeing the 2 crews fighting.

"Well, thanks for the help on testing my ship. As a reward, we will stop you from killing yourselves in Grandline," says Buggy while grinning before snapping his fingers.

Magnus who was hiding from the sight appears and shocks the 2 pirate crews. Then he picks his axe and swings it toward the 2 ships. A horizontal slash attack flies toward the ships and cuts their masts.

"There are many guys like him in Grandline, so unless you are confident about facing them, you should just enjoy your time in East Blue. Let's go lads, the game is over," says Buggy.

The crew then moves their ship again and it passes between the 2 Galleon Ships. Both unknown crews can only watch them pass with dumbfounded expressions. Then they look at each other with expressions that indicate they want to cancel their trip to Grandline.

"L-let just goes home. Being a pirate isn't that fun anyway. I will rather be a farmer," says one of the Captains.

"Ye-yeah, I rather raise chickens," says the other Captain before they row their ships back to Loguetown.

The Clown Pirates just keep moving without minding what the 2 crews will do. They finally enter and climb the Reverse Mountain. The crew makes their ship moves faster using Jet Dials and they reach the peak in a short time.

Then because of their high speed, the Black Pearl flies through the top. After the ship flies to the highest level, a pair of jet-fighter-like wings come out of it. The ship starts flying toward North Blue with the help of wind and its engines.

Buggy looks at the sea below and thinks, 'Let's see if there's any change caused by my small action.'
