Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 180: Golden Bell

Buggy says the same thing that he said to Gan Fall toward the Shandians. He knows it will be more difficult to convince the Shandians because Upper Yard was originally theirs. But if they really care more about the future of their tribe, then they will choose peace over war.

Then just like what he thought, they don't accept it happily. Some people agree with what Buggy said, some are not sure, while the rest disagree. He doesn't care about what they think, he is just saying what he thinks is the best.

"You can have your war for hundreds more years if you want. But that will cost you your children's lives. If you don't care about it, then go on with the war and perish from history," says Buggy before he & Cricket leave.

What should be a happy occasion because their long-awaited friend finally arrived has turned into another conflict.

"You're very mean, Captain. They were just about to celebrate my arrival here, you know," says Cricket while they are escorted back to their ship. "Hah, celebrating while they're still in a war. That will just be an insult to their ancestors who have sacrificed their lives. Right, Ryder?" asks Buggy while grinning.

Ryder doesn't say anything and just keeps walking.

Buggy smirks and says, "That kid, is he your son? He looks like a tough kid and will be a good warrior. I guess he will join the war in a few years and get hurt too. Who knows, maybe he will die-."

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH, BLUE SEA MAN! EVEN IF YOU ARE A FRIEND OF NOLAND'S DESCENDANT, I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAID," says Ryder as he grabs Buggy's collar.

"Then, will you forgive yourself if that really happens? What I said is a possibility that can happen in a war. Death always happens in every war. Will you let your child goes through that path instead of having a happy life without danger? Choose what you want to protect. The past or the future," says Buggy.

Ryder's hands tremble as he clicks his tongue and releases Buggy's collar. They don't talk again until they arrive on Black Pearl. The Clowns then leave the area and go to Angel Island to rest because it's almost night.

Just like yesterday, the boys are enjoying themselves tonight, most of them. They won't have another chance to enjoy their time with real angels in the near future. It won't take long for them to reach New World and they won't go to Sky Island for an unknown time.

"Captain, what's the plan after this?" asks Cricket while he eats on the ship with the other executives.

"We'll go to Upper Yard tomorrow and see the Golden Bell. Then we will take it and put it in Shandora before taking the gold in that city. It's the payment for helping them find the Golden Bell," says Buggy.

"Leave the looting to me, I will finish it in no time," says Enel excitedly.

"You sure act fast if it's about gold," says Deon.

"Sure, but don't try to steal some for yourself. You won't like what will happen to you next," says Buggy while smirking.

"H-hmph, I am not that low," says Enel while shivering.

"Golden Bell, huh? I wonder how it sounds like," says Jude.

The next day, they go to Upper Yard again and split into 2 groups. One group will take the gold in the City, it's led by Enel. Palu is in this team to supervise Enel so he won't steal some pieces for himself. All normal members except the kids are in this team too.

The other group is made of the other executives & the kids. They climb the Giant Jack to take the Golden Bell. It's easy to climb the Jack with Magnus' help. The others just need to sit on his head as he climbs.

Sometime later, they reach a wide cloud in the middle of Giant Jack. It is where God's Palace is located. The guards are alerted and order them to leave, but they ignore it and keep climbing.

Of course, the guards don't like it and attack them. Buggy & co will be more than happy to fight them in normal time, but they don't want to waste time now. So Buggy just uses his Conqueror Haki to knock them out.

"So troublesome. We just climb a giant tree and they disturb us," says Buggy pissedly.

"Well, we are trespassing their Palace, after all," says Mantis.

"Sigh, I should've just cut this thing," says Buggy.

They finally reached the top after some minutes and get on a small solid cloud. On the cloud, there is a very big Golden Bell with Poneglyph in its base.

"So this is the Golden Bell, huh? Now everything that Noland said has been proved," says Cricket while smiling.

"Ooh, there is a poneglyph too. Robin will be elated if she sees this," says Jude.

"I'm sure she'll see it in the future. That's why we need to make it easier for her by taking this thing down there. But before that, let's hear how it sounds," says Buggy while smirking.

The other smiles because they also want to hear the legendary Golden Bell's sound.

"Is this okay, Captain? Can we ring the bell without the Shandians' permission? The same thing also applied to the gold in the city. That is Shandians' City, right? Can we just take the gold without their approval?" asks Brook.

"Why would we need their permission or approval? We are pirates, you know. We do what we want and take what we want. If they want to blame someone, then they need to blame themselves for not protecting it even after we take it," says Buggy while smirking.

Cricket also smirks as he gets on the bell, "Captain is right. If you want something, get it by yourself. This bell's sound makes you curious, right? So am I."

*BAM*

Cricket punches the bell with moderate strength to not break it.

*DONG~ DONG~ DONG~*

The Golden Bell's sounds are very loud, but also very soft and nice. Their ears aren't hurt even though they are very close to it. They all are amazed by the sounds and they really enjoy it.

The bell sounds also resonate all over Skypiea and even reach the blue sea below. The Clowns who are working below stop their work to hear the sounds. Everyone else also stops what they are doing so they can hear the bell.

Of course, the Shandians also hear it from their hidden village. They are very surprised to hear the Golden Bell. Now they finally believe that Buggy really knows the Golden Bell's location. The Shandians are crying because finally, the Golden Bell is ringing even though it's not by them.

After the Bell's sounds stop, Buggy carves something beside Oden's writing. He also wants to leave a message like Roger even though he can't write Poneglyph language. His message is simple, "The Clown Pirates are here too. Robin, if you find this, please help me write this in poneglyph language, -Buggy."

"No need to ask her like that, right? Embarrassing," says Mantis.

"Heh, it might look silly, but it also means that I believe Robin will come here," says Buggy while grinning.

The Clowns sigh before they prepare to take the Bell down from the top of Jack. They install some jet dials below and beside the cloud before cutting the cloud. It reduce their falling speed and finally they landed beside Shandora.

Enel's eyes glitter and he pants like a dog when he sees the Golden Bell. But a warning from Buggy stops him from wanting to take the Golden Bell too. The looting of Shandora's gold has finished, so Buggy gives his order.

"Let's run," says Buggy.

"Huh?" says everyone confusedly.

"Why should we run?" asks Jude.

"The Shandians and Skypieans are surely on their way here now. It will be troublesome, so we need to run and return to Blue Sea. Let them finish their business, we've done what we could. Let's go," says Buggy.

The Clowns nod before they pack everything and run away from there with the giant snake's help. Their journey on Skypiea finishes fast.
