Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 298: Hard Training

Bellemere's training starts a day after she ate the devil fruit. At the same time, Palu's team also starts renovating her house. Nojiko & Nami are playing with the crew's kids, except Jack who doesn't like child play.

Buggy starts Bellemere's training with basic, physical training. She has good physical strength for the East Blue standard. But it's still not enough because the danger that will come is greater.

At the very least, Buggy needs Bellemere to be strong enough to defeat Arlong. The only danger that Buggy knows will come to her is Arlong & his crew. Even though Buggy has changed a lot of things, he doesn't know whether Arlong will still come or not, but he needs to prepare for it.

Of course, Buggy wants Bellemere to be far stronger than just being able to defeat Arlong. The enemies that might come now aren't just Arlong, after all, Marine is a bigger threat. Compared to Marine, Arlong is just a cute little shark in front of a Seaking.

Buggy doesn't hold back in his training even though Belle is struggling a lot. There is no gain without pain, so if she wants to get stronger, she needs to work very hard. All women in his crew have gone through rigorous training to reach their current level, so she needs to do the same if she wants to be that strong.

Bellemere also knows that and she is ready for that. Although the training is harder than she thought, she keeps going on without complaining. She knows that she needs to go through all of this so she can get stronger and protect his daughters.

Buggy smiles seeing Belle trains very hard without saying any complaints. This is one of the things that he likes from her. She won't give up on anything that she has decided, showing that she has high determination.

Her physical training is designed for women's physical structure. It's different from men's training and The Clown Pirates have researched it thoroughly. This is the training that is still used by their female members, just with a lot higher intensity.

It takes a week of training for Bellemere to reach the minimum standard that Buggy has set before she can go to the next training step, which is combat training and devil fruit training while still doing physical training too.

In that one week, the renovation of Belle's house has gone well. Palu's team has finished the basic structure and will start doing the details like paint, furniture, floor, ceiling, etc. They could finish the house faster, but they don't want to rush things.

The new house has 2 floors like before and the design isn't too different. Buggy & Belle likes the simple and minimalist design. The most important thing is that the new building will be far more durable & tougher than before.

It's not only Palu's team that is working, the other teams too. Manba's team is treating the islanders for free while researching the medicinal herbs on these islands. Mantis's team also explore the islands to find East Blue's special ingredients.

The other teams that don't have jobs are training and exploring the islands as they like. Some young men & kids joined their training after watching them. They told the young men & kids to just join instead of watching, and now they are training & playing together every day.

Jude has gotten better too after all this time. She is still awkward with Buggy & Bellemere, but at least she doesn't run away from them anymore. Palu still can't get closer to her though, she still needs time to move on.

"Just attack me! Don't hold back! Your attacks won't be able to injure me even if I do nothing, they are too weak," says Buggy while training Belle's fighting skills.

Belle clicks her tongue in frustration but she can't say anything because she can't make Buggy moves even for a bit. She has used all her strength, but none of her attacks can affect Buggy. The difference in their strength is too great.

She is still not allowed to use her devil fruit in combat even though it's just training. Her control is quite terrible and she has burnt a large area when Buggy told her to try using her ability in their combat training. So now she is just training her combat ability.

Bellemere's devil fruit training is separated from other training and they'll train it last. She will also train it on a small empty island that has nothing but rocks. Here, they won't need to worry about her burning the forest, buildings, or even injuring people.

There's only Buggy & Belle when she trains on this rock island. She activates her devil fruit and Buggy can immediately feel the heat of her dark red flame. It is still not that hot but it's definitely hot enough to boil water.

They've tested a few things on Belle's devil fruit abilities. And although it doesn't have logia's intangibility like Flame Flame Fruit, it still grants her immunity to fire & heat. It is even applied to hot water. Belle tried it on her own and she could only feel the water, not the heat.

It might have more traits, but Buggy doesn't want to do an extreme test on his lover. Knowing that she is immune to fire and has a tougher body is enough for him. She will find out more about her abilities as she gets used to her devil fruit.

But it's not only Bellemere who works hard, Nojiko is training too with the kids. It's not extreme training though, just the training by playing method that Buggy taught to the kids. Nojiko thinks that they are just playing, so she joins them without knowing that they are training.

Nami is still too young for that, she can't even walk properly yet, so there's no way she can join. Mantis is taking care of her, saying that it's training for when she has a kid in the future. Cricket pretends he doesn't hear it because he doesn't have a plan to have kids soon.

Conomi Islands have become more lively than ever. It's just a small archipelago with small islands & villages on it. It's not even a tourist spot so the days here were peaceful and quiet most of the time.

The Clown Pirates' arrival has made these islands full of life. There are only around 100 people on the crew, but that's almost half the number of villagers here. Furthermore, they are not people who can stay silent, they are a rowdy bunch.

They get closer to the villagers here in a short time. Their behavior even makes the villagers wonder if they are real pirates. They are, it's just that they are different from typical pirates, they are more like explorers without any affiliation.

The Marine & World Government don't care about that though. They never killed civilians, but they have a pirate flag, and declared themselves as pirates, after all. It's enough for Marine & WG to make the Clown Pirates criminals. Furthermore, the crew has become this big in a short time, making Marine & WG very wary of them. That's why their sudden disappearance from their territory has made big chaos in the Marine. One of the biggest crews under their surveillance could disappear without their knowledge.

The Marine realized it a week after The Clown Pirates left. So the Clowns have arrived on East Blue when the Marine has just realized it. That doesn't mean Marine's surveillance is bad because other crews never escape unnoticed, it just shows just how good The Clown Pirates' escape plan is.

Marine & World Government worked very hard to find The Clown Pirates. They used all their intelligence and even send Cipher Pol to find The Clown Pirates. Only after 10 days of searching that they find The Clown Pirates' location.

So now, the Marine is putting tight surveillance on East Blue. They don't put any men near Conomi Islands because they know The Clowns won't accept it and their men will get destroyed. So they are just increasing the surveillance on East Blue.

Buggy gets the news about that from Deon and says, "What a pain in the ass. Sigh, keep watching their movements, and tell me if they do something strange. I won't let them do as they wish."
