Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 320: Nox Pirates

Rose calls The Clown Pirates as her crewmates treat their injuries. Dela picks it up before passing the denden mushi to Buggy.

"What's up?" asks Buggy.

<I'm sorry, Lord Buggy, we lost,> says Rose through the denden mushi.

A tick mark appears on Buggy's forehead because everyone calls him Lord Buggy nowadays. It's because of his new moniker, Clown Lord, that the Marine made after the war against Big Mom. His crewmates were making fun of him by calling him Lord Buggy, and then his subordinates also started to call him Lord Buggy.

What makes him irked is because that Lord Buggy reminds him of why he died in his past life. He died because he hated the jokes about The Lord and Saviour Buggy. So it feels like everyone wants him dead again.

But he can't get angry because everyone like it when he gets angry because of it. "Tell me what happened."

Rose starts to narrate what happened on Foolshout Island. Buggy isn't surprised because he has expected this. Fisher Tiger must've known that his crew isn't a match for Strawberry, so the best thing to do is to run away.

"Well, losing from someone like Strawberry isn't something shameful. He has the strength of a Vic-Admiral, which is comparable to big pirates in the New World. Although I didn't expect him to be this strong. Don't think too much about it and use it as a valuable experience. You all have done great. Now, continue your journey, we are waiting for you in New World," says Buggy.

<We can go to New World?> asks Rose with a surprised tone.

"Of course, I never said I would forbid you from entering New World. I just want you to know that you guys are still weak in this big world. Don't be satisfied yet and keep improving yourselves. Take your time in Paradise to get as much experience as possible," says Buggy.

Rose is touched by Buggy's wise words and says, <Thank you, milord. I promise that we won't betray your expectation and keep getting worthy so that we will be worthy to sail under your flag.>

"Yeah, see you in New World," says Buggy.

<Yes, please tell Big Sis Mantis that we can't wait to meet her again,> says Rose.

"Alright, be safe," replies Buggy before closing the call.

"Learning experience? What a joke. You just used them for your plan," says Dela.

"Hey, it's still a good learning experience for them, so I'm not lying," says Buggy.

"Sigh, whatever," says Dela before they suddenly hear an explosion.

"What happened?" asks Buggy.

Dela doesn't need to answer because Deon suddenly enters the room to report it. "There's a battle ahead, and it's quite interesting. I think you need to see this, Lord. Pfft~."

Deon can't laugh for too long because Buggy's hand has flown toward him and hits his head from above. Buggy then walks over Deon's body while attaching his hand. Dela also follows Buggy stepping on Deon's body which really hurts him because she wears high heels.

"What happened?" asks Buggy.

"It's a stray cannonball. There's a battle of a pirate crew against Marine in front of us," says Cricket as he throws a scope at Buggy.

Buggy uses the scope to see the battle in front of them. "Hoo, Minks, huh? This is interesting."

The pirate crew that fights in front of them is Nox Pirates. It's a crew composed of a few Minks who were searching Poneglyphs. This is the crew that Pedro led with Pekoms and Bepo's brother, Zepo as one of their members. They still look young now.

"What should we do, Lord?" asks Cricket.

Buggy can't even be bothered to get angry. "Let's approach them and see their reactions."

The Black Pearl keeps moving forward and soon it gets close to the battlefield. Both Marine and Nox Pirates stop their war because they've seen The Clown Pirates getting closer. The Marine unit is led by Rear Admiral Dobberman that hasn't had too many scars on his face.

"Yo, what a merry party, do you mind if we join?" asks Buggy while sitting on his ship's head.

Dobberman looks annoyed, but he knows that his unit isn't a match for The Clown Pirates.

"Rear Admiral, I have received an order from Admiral Sengoku. We need to retreat," says Dobberman's communication officer who has moved fast and reported Clown Pirates' arrival to Marine HQ.

"Proceed to retreat immediately. Don't think that this is your lucky day, Minks. We are better enemies than them," says Dobberman before his unit retreats.

The Clowns booed the Marine as they leave without a fight.

"Thank you for your help, Wano's saviors. Master Nekomamushi and Inuarashi have told us about you," says Pedro while bowing.

"No problem, it's just a coincidence that we met, after all. So, what are you doing here?" asks Buggy.

"We are on our way to Wano to talk with Master Nekomamushi & Inuarashi because they called us. It might be because the World Government labeled us as pirates," says Pedro.

"Oh, Wano, huh? That brings back memories. Hey, why don't you come here for a party? We haven't done anything fun for the last few days," says Buggy.

Pedro and his friends are hesitating because they really want to meet Neko & Inu soon.

"Just take his offer. You guys shouldn't leave immediately either because The Marine is still watching your movements. We also can exchange information. You guys want to find Poneglyphs, right? We know a few of them. In exchange, you can tell us about Zou. Neko & Inu always bragged about it, so we are very curious," says Cricket.

The Minks realize that Cricket might be right. Dobberman's unit has just left, so if they also leave, then Dobberman can chase them immediately. Staying with The Clowns for some time might be the best thing to do.

"We'll take the offer then," says Pedro after his friends agreed.

Both crew then hold a party after the Minks attached their ship to Black Pearl. The Minks are very surprised to see The Clowns' party. They had never seen such a chaotic but fun party where everyone just does what they want.

The wariness in their hearts disappears soon as they hear Brook's music. Brook can use his music to affect people's souls, after all. He uses his music to calm the Minks and create a friendly atmosphere so that everyone can get closer to each other.

While their crewmates are having fun, Buggy & Pedro have a talk on the side while drinking. They talk a little about each other first to get closer before. Pedro said that he and Buggy has met before Roger went to Laugh Tale, although it was the original Buggy.

"Ooh, you are that kid who asked Captain Roger to let you join us, huh? Heh, you've finally started your adventure," says Buggy as if he doesn't know anything.

"Yeah, Roger's words have inspired me so much. But the challenges of the world are harder than I thought," says Pedro.

"There's nothing easy here, especially because this is New World. You started in the most difficult sea without enough preparation or knowledge of this world. So of course, you will find it very difficult," says Buggy.

"Yeah, I must admit that I overestimate ourselves a little. But what can we do now? It has happened, and we can only continue with it," says Pedro.

"You're right, but there's always a solution for every problem. I have 2 solutions for your problem. First, you need to get stronger as much as possible, so ask Neko & Inu to train you. Don't start again until they say you are ready. Second, join my fleet and sail under my flag."

"Just by carrying my flag will give you additional protection because when the enemies attack you, that means they also attack us. Don't worry, I don't need any kind of payment from you. I just want to form a deeper friendship with Zou through you. Besides, I can't just let Neko & Inu's friends stay in danger if I can help," says Buggy while grinning.

Pedro seems touched before he thanks Buggy and gives Buggy the infamous Minks' skinship, Garchu. Buggy gets surprised and jumps away. His crewmates are laughing at him when they see him being kissed on the cheek by a man.

Though, they can't laugh for too long because the other Minks also start to give them Garchu after Pedro announced that both crews will be friends. The happy Minks immediately give Garchu to everyone. Of course, most of them try to avoid the kiss, and everything becomes chaotic as usual.
