Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 404: Remarking

Buggy's little show finally makes the Boa sisters agree to his proposal. They agree to reshape their back skin so that the marks of Celestial Dragon will disappear.

"Uhm, why don't you just remove the marks by taking off the skin that gets marked and make them gone?" asks Elder Nyon.

"That will be possible if they're just tattoos that stick on the skin. The problem is they are burnt marks and they are quite deep. If we just remove them, then the girls will lose a lot of portions of their backs. It will be harder to hide rather than reshape the marks into tattoos. Our doctor also said this method won't cause any damage," says Buggy.

"That makes sense. Alright, I leave them to you," says Elder Nyon.

Buggy nods and the first to be treated is their youngest, Marigold. She opens the back of her clothes while trembling because it reminds her of her past. Her older sisters also feel very bitter and they also tremble when they see Marigold's mark, Elder Nyon does too.

However, Buggy, Mantis, & Dela don't have any reaction whatsoever. They just look at it as if it's a normal thing, not something horrifying. Sandersonia realizes this, which makes them rather wary.

"Why don't you react after seeing that?" asks Sandersonia.

"Should we?" asks Buggy back, making Sandersonia speechless.

Mantis sighs and explains in his stead, "The answer is easy. It's because this is just a mark to us. We have seen it many times and our Lord here had reshaped many of them, that's why we don't react."

"You have done this before?!" asks Elder Nyon in surprise, the Boa sisters are also surprised by this.

"Yes, our Lord has reshaped 2,582 Claws of Celestial Dragons over the years," says Dela, surprising the girls so much.

"No way! There's no way you could find that many escaped slaves in a few years even after Fisher Tiger's attack," says Hancock.

"That's where you are wrong, princess. There are that many and even more escaped slaves all over the world. Fisher Tiger was the most successful attacker, but he isn't the only one," says Buggy while grinning.

They widen their eyes and Elder Nyon wants to ask, "Y-you, don't tell me you-."

Buggy tells her to stop with a silencing sign, so she stops her question. They don't need to be that smart to understand what he meant. So they don't ask anything anymore and just start the procedure to remove their marks. But before they start, Dela puts a piece of paper with a picture on it in front of Buggy.

"What is that?" asks Hancock.

"A picture of Gorgon's eye to match the story you made up," says Dela.

"No, I know that, but why are you showing that?" asks Hancock.

"Well, our Lord here sucks at drawing, so he needs a guide to reshape the marks," says Dela.

The Boa sister's eyes become dark and they look at Buggy who looks away guiltily.

"D-drawing is just not my passion," says Buggy.

"Did you do this all the time?" asks Elder Nyon.

"No, usually he would just make simple pictures like a straight line on the spine or cross mark. The best he could make so far is a heart symbol," says Dela.

The Bos sisters' expressions turn darker and Buggy sweats even more.

"Will this be alright?" asks Marigold.

"Don't worry, this will be fine. I'll make sure it works," says Mantis while bumping her fist into her palm.

Buggy gulps his saliva and immediately tells the Boa sisters they will start. He starts right away and uses his power to chop off the marked areas on Marigold's back. Then he moves it above the picture and starts putting the chopped mark on it, following the pattern.

Even with a guide, Buggy still has a hard time adjusting everything. He sweats profusely because he is being stared at by some scary eyes. Mantis will beat him up if he messes up, so he needs to succeed.

After some long minutes, Buggy finally finishes reshaping Marigold's mark. Then he puts it on her back and adjusts her other back areas to match the new mark. When he's done, the traumatic mark has gone and what's left is an eye surrounded by some snakes, the Gorgon's eye.

The Boa sisters are stunned and they can't say anything for a while. Buggy breaks the silence by telling Sandersonia to get ready. Dela changes the picture into another Gorgin's eye but with different patterns.

They can't make the 3 sisters have the same exact marks. The reason is the 3 sisters' power are different, so their marks need to be different. That's the said reason, the main reason is they just want to mess with Buggy who will have a harder time making 3 different patterns.

Anyway, Buggy finishes Sandersonia's mark at about the same time as Marigold. But it takes longer to finish Hamcock's mark because the picture is more complicated. Besides, Hancock keeps complaining when he works, so he can't concentrate.

After he finished, the Boa Sisters' slave marks were finally gone and become new marks. Now they can justify their story of being cursed by Gorgon because they really have Gorgon's eyes on their backs. Buggy made the new marks look flawless even with the pictures & Dela's guidance, so no one will find out.

Well, it's not like the sisters will reveal their marks to anyone. But changing the marks has lifted a lot of pain in their hearts although the scars in their hearts can't be healed completely. At the very least, they won't need to worry about their marks anymore from now on.

"Alright then, let's get into business," says Buggy all of a sudden.

The Boa Sisters get alerted and Hancock angrily says, "As I thought, you want something from us. Tch, all men are the same."

Hancock gets ready to fight, but Buggy calmly says, "Woah, woah, calm down girls, I'm not picking a fight here. Besides, you won't stand a chance if we start to fight."

"Just listen to him first. I promise this deal won't harm you," says Mantis.

"Alright," says Hancock immediately.

Buggy is quite stunned seeing Hancock believes Mantis immediately. He doesn't know what they were talking about when they were going around Amazon Lily, but it seems Mantis received Hancock's trust already.

"Sigh, the thing that I want from you is information. I want you to be my informant. You are a Warlord, so it will be easier for you to get information from the Marine & World Government. At the very least, I want you to tell me anything you hear from them like what happens when the Warlords have a meeting with Marines, or when they call you for something. Well, anything," says Buggy.

The Boa sisters calm down when they hear that because it's not a difficult thing to do. They just need to tell Clown Pirates anything the Marines told them.

"If you do that, then we will be allies and my crew will always be ready to help you. Of course, we can sell weapons to you, but everything will be hidden so that the Marines won't sniff it. Any weapon you buy will be customized and use different technologies than the ones we use or sell to fool the Marine & World Government. We will do all of that if you can provide important information," says Buggy.

"So if we give you more information, we will get more benefits too?" asks Sandersonia.

"Yeah, this is a business, after all," says Buggy while smirking.

The Boa sisters look at each other for a while before looking at Elder Nyon. She nods to them and they also nod.

"Alright, we'll take the deal. It's not that bad, after all," says Hancock.

"Good, we won't make direct contact from now on to keep our alliance a secret. I will give you a White Denden Mushi to secure your call, so always use it when contacting us. Also, always remember this. Your alliance with the Marines & World Government will end sooner or later because pirates and justice can't stand side-by-side. So try to find their weaknesses as much as you can," says Buggy.

"I know that," says Hancock haughtily.

Buggy just smirks and leaves the room with Mantis & Dela because their business here has ended now. It's time to continue their Calm Belt exploration. But now Buggy is excited to know what he will get from his new spies.
