Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 157: Dark King

Buggy massages his temples when he sees Deon acts like a fanboy after seeing Rayleigh.

"What are you doing, rainbow hair?" asks Buggy.

"Ca-Captain, is he the real Dark King?" asks Deon back.

"No, he is just an imagination. Of course, he is real. I've told you why we come here, right? I think you really need a pair of new ears, and brain if we can find a good one," says Buggy jokingly.

Deon gets more amazed and immediately takes a paper and a marker. He approaches Rayleigh and gives those in a very polite manner.

"Ca-Can I get your sign, please?" asks Deon very politely.

Rayleigh is stunned by this and looks at Buggy who is still massaging his temple. Buggy doesn't care anymore and just leaves it to Rayleigh. Rayleigh raises an eyebrow and just gives Deon his signature.

Deon gets very happy and celebrates it alone in the corner. Shakky just laughs seeing that and makes Buggy gets more embarrassed. This is a plot twist that he'll never guess at all.

"Well, let's just ignore that and talk about something else. Have Shanks reached this place?" asks Buggy.

"Yes, Red Hair Shanks has arrived yesterday. But I don't know his location," says Shakky.

"Really? Why don't you tell me about it, Shakky?" asks Rayleigh.

"I don't know. Maybe if you go home every day and not just when you need money for gambling, then I will tell you about it," says Shakky.

Rayleigh & Buggy sweatdrop at her answer, but she is not wrong.

"So Shanks is here. He should catch the news about me soon," says Buggy while sipping his drink.

"Of course, both of you are big sensations in Pirate World. So your arrival in Sabaody will surely gather a lot of attention. 2 of Roger Pirates' apprentices are reuniting here. And both of you have very high bounties, so the news will spread like wildfire. Even Marine HQ will get alerted," says Shakky.

"But I'm sure they won't do anything with both of you being here too," says Buggy while smirking.

"Ray-san is one case, but I have retired for a long time," says Shakky.

"Yeah, yeah, retired. Anyway, Rayleigh-san, I've visited Gaban-san on West Blue," says Buggy.

"Oh, how was he?" asks Rayleigh.

"Good like usual, you need to worry more about those who try to mess with him. He should be even better now after I left a big chance for him," says Buggy while smirking.

"A big chance?" asks Rayleigh confusedly.

"A possible spouse. Hehe, I saved a woman and a kid on West Blue. But I can't take care of them forever, so I left them in Gaban-san's care. If he is truly a man, then he should've gotten that woman by now. Who knows, maybe they already have their seeds planted," says Buggy while grinning mischievously.

Rayleigh sweatdrops hearing that, "You never change, Buggy."

"Some things need to be changed, but the rest need to stay the same," says Buggy smugly.

"Sigh, whatever. So, what will you do after this?" asks Rayleigh.

"I will explore the whole Paradise before going to New World. My dream is to explore every island in the world. I've finished exploring the 4 Seas and now I'm exploring Paradise. I planned to finish it before next year and then I will make a different move in New World," says Buggy.

"Hoo, what is it?" asks Rayleigh curiously.

"Taking down the Rocks' remains," says Buggy while grinning.

"What?!" says Rayleigh in surprise.

Shakky is also surprised while Deon doesn't understand anything.

"Are you sure about that, Buggy?" asks Rayleigh.

"I am. They will be the biggest hindrances for me to do what I want. I will start with their youngest, Kaido," says Buggy.

"Hmm? Doesn't that mean?" asks Rayleigh as he realizes something.

"Yeah, I'll go to Wano," says Buggy.

Rayleigh now understands that Buggy just wants an excuse to go to Wano and help Oden. That guy won't accept their help for his country at all. So Buggy makes an excuse to attack Beasts Pirates in a way to help Oden.

Oden won't be able to stop him because Buggy is there to fight another pirate crew. He won't be there to help Oden but to take another crew's territory. That's a usual thing in Pirate World, so Oden won't be able to protest at all.

"Do you want to ask for my help, then?" asks Rayleigh.

"No, I just want to inform you before it happens because the world will turn upside down after that," says Buggy while standing.

Rayleigh seems to understand something and asks, "You aren't just targeting Kaido, aren't you?"

Buggy just smiles and leaves some money on the table before leaving the bar. Deon follows him while waving his hands to Rayleigh excitedly. They leave Shakky's bar and go to explore Sabaody.

Shakky takes & counts the money. But then she finds a small piece of white paper in the stack. She takes it and the paper moves a little, it's Buggy's Vivre Card.

"Hehe, sneaky young man," says Shakky as she gives the Vivre Card to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh takes it and sighs before giving it back to Shakky so she can keep it.

"Every island, huh? That means he'll explore even the Calm Belt, Sky, and also the last island. Even we didn't explore every island in the past. He still holds a grudge because we didn't take him there, huh?" says Rayleigh.

"Hehehe, such an interesting young man," says Shakky.

"Yeah, and an irritating one," says Rayleigh tiredly.

After Buggy & Deon leave the bar, they go to explore the Archipelago. Buggy orders Deon to gather information like usual while still being careful. Maybe a CD will like his rainbow hair, after all.

They split and Buggy walks alone in the Lawless Area. He goes to the center where CD often appears as there are Human Shops in Groove 1-10. It's not that he wants to meet them, but he's very curious about their appearance.

He only knows CDs from the series, which are pictures. So he is curious about their real appearances. Are they as ugly & irritating as what gets drawn in the manga & anime or do they actually look normal?

As he walks in the Lawless Area, he is getting attacked again by some people. He thoughts they are just bounty hunters, but even slave traders are attacking him too. Pirates with high bounty have a high price too, after all.

He defeats them easily and robs them clean as compensation for troubling him. These guys are quite rich so Buggy can get some good sum from them. He even freed some captured people that almost get sold as slaves in the process.

"What a good day to get profit and be a good samaritan," says Buggy as he walks aimlessly.

After walking around for an hour, he finally reaches Groove 1. He hears some commotion and goes there stealthily. It won't be a good thing to hear a commotion in Groove 1, so he needs to be careful.

Buggy climbs a building from the back and gets on the rooftop. Then he goes to the front to see the commotion. Just like what he thought, it's caused by Celestial Dragons. One of them has one of their slaves running away, making the collar explodes, killing the slave.

"What an ugly sight," comments Buggy unhappily.
