Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 169: Little Garden

With 2 new members on their ship, the Clowns continue their exploration. They visit the first islands in every route of Paradise. Their journey on the first islands is very peaceful because no one here can threaten them.

The Clowns keep trying to recruit more members for their crew. But they only get a few because most of them didn't meet their criteria. Most applicants are just people who want to be pirates for fun or cruel criminals which aren't needed by the Clowns.

So far, they only get 7 new members including the 2 kids. Alan is surprisingly good at cooking while Elen shows interest in medic. So Buggy puts Alan in Mantis's team and Elen in Manba's team. Kids are easier to teach, so they are big assets for the crew's future.

The Clowns also encountered many pirate crews and marine units along the way. Buggy used those encounters to train his normal members. The executives never joined the battles so far and just gave instructions.

Buggy doesn't just use those battles to train his normal members, but also to train the executives' leadership. There's no way Buggy will take care of the crew alone, so he needs the executives to help him. That's why they need to have good leadership.

It takes them a month to visit the first islands. Buggy revises their plan because their journey is too slow. If they need this long just to visit every first islands, then they won't be able to finish exploring Paradise in a year.

That's why since the journey on the 2nd islands starts, they are using their ship's technologies. For now, they are using their dials to make the ship move faster. They have some other techs, but those things haven't been perfected yet and still need some research by Ruff.

Luckily, the dials are enough to make them move faster. Now they are 2 times faster even though they were fast already before. The Black Pearl is faster than other ships, but now it moves even faster.

Previously, they can cover 10 days of sailing into 8 days. Now, they can cover it in 4 days, that's very fast. Not even Marine battleships can move as fast as them and it's all just because of their dials. When Ruff's tech is finished, they can be even faster.

But, although they can sail very fast, the Clowns still enjoy their time on the islands. They are cutting their stay time, but not too much, so they still can enjoy it. Buggy wants an enjoyable journey even though they need to be fast.

Then finally, they arrived on the island that Magnus has searched for, Little Garden. It is the 2nd island after Whisky Peak which has the log change time of 1 year. This place is really full of prehistoric creatures just like in the series.

Before they even dock, Magnus has jumped to the island and made the ship shake. He is very excited because he has seen the 2 giants' figures from afar. But his action pissed Buggy because now they need to stabilize the ship.

"I will put some senses into that bastard's head later," says Buggy pissedly. "Normal ship will split in half because of that jump. So you need to punish him very hard," says Palu pissedly too because he needs to fix the floor.

"Let me help you to shock his brain," says Enel who gets pissed too because he needs to stabilize the ship just now.

The Clowns dock their ship and then go to explore the island. Buggy reminds them to be careful because this island is dangerous. He is worried if someone will get a prehistoric disease like Nami. That will be troublesome because the medicine will be hard to find.

They all spread in groups with anyone they want. 2 people stay on the ship to guard it because some animals might try to get inside and steal their food. As for Buggy, he moves with Jude, Brook, and Ruff.

While walking, Brook is playing a song while the others sing. Surprisingly, they are singing one of One Piece opening songs, Hikari E. Buggy has asked Brook to make the music for some songs that he remembered from his past life. He just needs to sing them and Brook will make the music in a short time.

They keep singing happily until suddenly, they hear a booming sound, it's the volcano's eruption. Buggy knows what it means, so he immediately levitates high above the trees and looks around. He sees 2 giants running from 2 sides and then they clash.

The giants' clash creates a strong shockwave that spread everywhere. They keep fighting using their worn-out weapons and shields for some moment until they stop because no one gains the advantage.

"Dorry and Broggy, they are far stronger than what was shown in the series. It will be interesting if I can spar with them, but they are still dueling, so it will be impossible. Well, seeing their strengths is enough for me," says Buggy before going down.

Dorry and Broggy don't move separately now, both of them go to Dorry's place. They must've wanted to meet Magnus, so Buggy's group also goes there. Buggy wants to meet these 2 giants by himself. Sometime later, they arrive at Dorry's place and meet the giants.

"Humans? It's been a long time since I see one. There's also a strange creature there," says Broggy while looking at Brook.

"Brother, Broggy, they are from the crew that I joined temporarily to find you," says Magnus before introducing Buggy & co.

"Dorry the Blue Ogre and Broggy the Red Ogre, I can finally meet you, the legendary Giant Warrior Pirates' Captains," says Buggy.

"Oh, you know about us, little friend. I thought people have forgot about us after so many years. GEGYAGYAGYA," says Dorry.

"It will be more strange if I don't know about you after knowing Magnus for a few months," says Buggy.

"Hmm, you're right," says Dorry.

"GABABABA! Hey Dorry, how if we take a rest for a day to treat our guests? It will be rude if we keep leaving our guests for the duel," says Broggy.

"I think you're right, it's also been a long time since I met my brother. He is just this small when I left Elbaf," says Dorry while extending his pinky finger.

"I was 20 y.o when you left, not a fetus," says Magnus pissedly.

"There's no difference, GEGYAGYAGYA!" says Dorry mockingly.

"Tch, damn old guy," says Magnus unhappily.

For Giants like them, a 20 y.o is still a child, not even a teenager yet. Although it is clear that Dorry is mocking his brother. It just means that Dorry left Elbaf when his brother was still very young.

They plan to hold a feast, so Buggy calls everyone in the crew. While waiting, Dorry and Broggy hunt some dinosaurs to be cooked. They killed 4 long-necked dinosaurs and skin them before cooking.

But Buggy stops them and tells them that his crew will cook. The 2 giants agree and let Mantis's team cook the meats. Dorry & Broggy try the food and they really like it. It's very different from their usual plain roasted meat.

The Clowns and Giants then have a big feast until the next morning. It's been a long time since they have had a big feast in an open place like this. This is a little rest of their long and tiring journey.
