Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 371: Saving Tom

New World feels very calm now, at least that's what The Clown Pirates felt after they left Hachinosu. They've continued their New World exploration and it went way smoother than they thought. They don't get into trouble too much in the last 2 months.

But then they get information that Tom is caught by Cipher Pol to stand a trial for building the Oro Jackson. Furthermore, he also contributed to building the current most dangerous ship sailing on the sea, the Black Pearl. Without a doubt, he will be executed, but he will face a trial in Enies Lobby first.

Just like in the story, Tom has been forgiven by the World Government. But the damn Spandam set him up so now Tom will be put to death sentence again. Luckily, Spandam did all those things to get his hands on Pluton's blueprint, so they still have time to save Tom.

"Well, lads, I'm sure you know what this means," says Buggy after getting the information.

"Yeah, no need to say it, we all think the same," says Cricket.

"That's right. Fuck that peace treaty! They've agreed to not mess with our families & friends, but they still did it. They bring this to themselves," says Palu pissedly.

Palu respects Tom so much because Tom is his teacher that has taught him so much about shipbuilding. So this news infuriated him more than anyone in the crew.

"Let's go! Full speed to Enies Lobby," orders Buggy.

The crew halts their exploration and rushes to Paradise immediately. Their ship moves at full speed which means they don't use their sails now. They only use their engines which have become much better now.

But even with their speed, they will still need 3 days to reach Enies Lobby. Tom might not last that long, so they need to do something, and Buggy has thought about that. He has sent some people from Water 7's Caribbean branch to infiltrate Enies Lobby and make sure Tom will not die before he arrives.

Also, he calls the 5 Elders on the 2nd day to give them a warning. This will make them think twice and hopefully, they will halt the execution at least. Buggy knows they won't, well, the idiot Spandam won't cancel the execution because he only cares about Pluton's blueprint.

The 5 Elders don't receive Buggy's warning that well. They are still prideful and arrogant Celestial Dragons, after all. Of course, they will get angry after receiving a warning and a threat from a pirate.

But they also know that this isn't just a simple matter now. So they call Spandam and tell him to halt the execution until they give an order. And he is more than happy to have more time to get the information about Pluton's blueprint.

After that, the 5 Elders order Cipher Pol and the Marine to keep track of Clown Pirates' movements. The agents & marines immediately execute the order and try to find the Clown Pirates' location. But even after a day, they still can't find the crew.

The Clown Pirates are experts at moving without getting detected. So they could fool the agents & marines easily as they go to Paradise. When the agents & marines finally find them, it's already too late because they've arrived in Enies Lobby.

"Enel, can you find him?" asks Buggy.

Enel closes his eyes for a moment to hear all the voices on the island. "He's on another side."

"Must be the bridge, let's go," says Buggy before the ship goes to the other side of the island.

They sail right beside the sea waterfall circle, but none of them show any fear. This waterfall is not something they need to be wary of because it's quite normal for them. They've sailed through more dangerous things, so sailing near this waterfall is not that thrilling anymore.

The crew reaches the other side in a short time and they see many people on the giant bridge. This bridge is named as Bridge of Hesitation that connects the island to the Gate of Justice. Well, these names are quite cheesy, but they are named to show the World Government's power.

At the port at the end of the bridge, there are some Marine Ships already. They've been waiting there since Buggy gave his warning. And now this place is in chaos because no one expected the Clown Pirates to come this fast.

"Hoh, they've made some preparations to welcome us, huh?" asks Buggy while looking at the marine ships.

"Are they trying to stop us with that line-up? They must be joking," says Enel.

"Yeah, not even Kuzan or Borsalino, they just sent some new Rear Admirals. Even Garp & Sengoku won't be enough, but they sent these newbs instead," says Deon confusedly.

"Maybe they have given up already?" asks Palu.

"We can't be so sure yet, so don't let your guard down. They could've set traps or other things that we don't know," says Cricket.

What Cricket said makes so much sense, so the crew members are being vigilant again. They've become very strong now, but they still can die. So carelessness like this can make them killed and being too full of themselves is one of the factors that make them careless.

The panicking marines almost start a war against The Clown Pirates. But luckily for them, they stop before shooting a single cannon. They stop because The Gate of Justice suddenly opens and some more marine ships come there.

Now, the Marines finally send their real forces to handle this situation. Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, Kuzan, Borsalino, John Giant, and some more experienced officers. This fleet is even stronger than the one they sent in their last war against The Clown Pirates.

"Long time no see, you Marine bastards," says Buggy while sitting on the front tip of his ship.

"Clown, we don't wish for a war right now," says Sengoku.

"Then don't start it! You guys know Tom-san has a good relationship with us, yet you still do this. That means you really want to provoke me," says Buggy calmly.

Sengoku grits his teeth because he really doesn't want this to happen. He knew that Tom has been excused from the death penalty after creating the Sea Train. But sometime later, he heard that Tom gets taken to Enies Lobby after a strange incident happened.

Then Kong suddenly told him that the 5 Elders ordered them to get ready for a confrontation with The Clown Pirates. They would try to avoid it, so they sent their men to find the Clown Pirates, but no one found them until they arrived near Enies Lobby.

"What do you want to avoid the war?" asks Sengoku.

"Just give Tom-san back and we will leave. But our peace treaty will be nulled and we won't supply any weapon to you again," says Buggy.

"Supplying weapons? What are you talking about?" asks Garp.

"It's your job to find it out. Enel," says Buggy without looking back.

Enel suddenly turns into lightning and flashes to the bridge. Borsalino also flashes there out of surprise, but Enel arrives first because he made the first move. Enel arrives right in front of Tom who has many bruises & wounds on his body.

"You don't look good, old man," says Enel.

"I guess so," says Tom with a thin smile.

The agents & marines are backing off while trembling when Enel suddenly appears in front of them. But then they get a little relieved when Borsalino also appears there. Enel smirks when he senses Borsalino arriving behind him.

"You're here. Wanna go?" asks Enel.

"We're trying to avoid war, so there won't be a battle, hopefully," says Borsalino.

"Hmph, so boring," says Enel before grabbing Tom and flashing away.

No one can stop him and even Borsalino who has a chance doesn't try to stop him at all. Enel & Tom arrive on Black Pearl and Manba immediately takes Tom to be treated. Buggy who sees Tom has been rescued then looks at the marines.

"Sengoku, tell those old men that I take my loved ones' well beings very seriously. Our peace treaty has been nulled now, so be careful of what you do because next time, I won't be so merciful," says Buggy before signaling his crew to leave this place.

The Clown Pirates leave Enies Lobby without any fight. It is a relief for the Marines, but they aren't that happy either because it feels like they are at the mercy of pirates.
