Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 405: Fast Forward

The business with Kuja Pirates has finished, so now The Clown Pirates continue their exploration. The boys are disappointed they couldn't do much on Amazon Lily, but they are still happy they could see Maiden Island with their own eyes. There aren't many men who have seen it, so this is a privilege even if they didn't step a foot there.

The Clowns' journey continues and it goes faster now because they have more understanding of Calm Belt. Other than exploring, they also train their new members, Hatchan & Maverick. This is a good time to train them, after all, because there aren't many threats here.

The creatures on the islands they find are strong for the 2, but not strong enough for the others. That's why those creatures are the best challenges for the 2 now. By fighting these creatures, the 2 should be ready for Grandline, at least for the level of early New World.

Hatchan is already much stronger than when he first joined. Now he can stand his ground against big names in Paradise. But he isn't ready yet for New World. Well, at least based on The Clown Pirates' standards which are high at all levels, so Hatchan is actually an early New World level in average crews.

There's an important reason for their high standards. It's not just because they are an Emperor crew, it's because their enemies are high levels. If their power standards are low, they won't survive the competition at the top.

So Hatchan is not ready to be left alone in New World yet based on the Clown Pirates' standards. Not to mention Maverick who has just joined the crew and doesn't know much about the world. They will just be easy targets for the crew's enemies and will have a lower survival chance.

That's why Clown Pirates are using this Calm Belt exploration to train both new members. They will spend months in this part of Calm Belt and will finish all parts in 1 or 2 years. Hatchan and Maverick will be ready to compete at the top level after that.

But they also can't just keep improving the 2's power. They need to teach them a lot of things about the world, especially Maverick. He lived in an isolated place and never saw the outside world, so he needs to learn a lot of things.

After the crew finished exploring South Blue's side of Calm Belt in a few months, they go to New World through Paradise. They follow a route they haven't tried even though they have visited all known islands and many unknown islands in Paradise. All for the sole reason to let Hatchan and Maverick experience more things.

They take their time exploring the islands in Paradise because Maverick is always excited to meet more people and know more things. Their time in Paradise is very valuable for Maverick because he learns to know that people are different and not everyone is kind.

Many people are freaked out by his 3 eyes and discriminated against him. He learns it the hard way, but his crewmates always have his back, so he doesn't lose his confidence and he stays the same. After all, many more people don't discriminate against him and actually like him because of his bright personality, so he doesn't want to change and stay proud of who he is.

Besides, being in Clown Pirates which is full of weirdos of different races makes Maverick knows that he isn't the only one being discriminated against. They are already pirates, after all, so they are bad guys already. But they also have Fishmen and weird guys with weird physical traits, making them targets of mockery.

Even Buggy is being made fun of many times because of his red nose. But the crew handles everything calmly and easily, making Maverick knows that he doesn't need to worry about it. Everyone is different and not everybody likes them, so they don't need to worry about others' opinions and just do what they want.

In their time in Paradise, Maverick's name also starts to soar. He is still the weakest in the crew, but he is unique. He has the skills and traits that attract even Marine's attention. His shooting skills and his 3-eye tribe bloodline are the ones attracting attention the most.

Even in New World, there aren't many shooters at Maverick's level. He isn't just a shooter, he is a genius who can use any ranged weapons and master them in a short time. The only things he lacks in this are his battle skills and experience, especially against people because he always shot animals on his island.

So the crew keeps going through Paradise and has many battles. Not only do they want to give Hatchan and Maverick more experience, but they also miss fighting after a long time. They fight anyone who comes up to them. Marines, pirates, bounty hunters, and criminals, they face anyone challenging them.

When they reach Sabaody after 9 months of a slow journey, Maverick receives a bounty. Hatchan doesn't get any, so he is very disappointed even though he is stronger than Maverick in combat. But hey, even the senior members don't have bounties even though they can beat most Rear Admirals now.

"Don't worry Hatchan, not having a bounty doesn't mean you are weak. They just put more attention to Maverick because he is a sniper. We have great snipers, but Maverick is just exceptional," says Buggy while looking at Maverick's first bounty.

'Top Gun' Maverick: 136 million

Maverick's bounty is even higher than Dela who still has a bounty of 100 million. Sniping skills are not rare, but talent and skills at Maverick's current level is obviously rare. He is not at Yasopp's level yet, but it won't take long for him to reach it. He just needs more experience.

After Maverick got his bounty, Buggy finally restructures his crew. He makes a new team and merges 2 teams. The new tea. is Sniper Team, led by their new executive, Maverick, but it is handled by Dani and Maverick is just the leader in name because he has better skills but can't really lead a team.

As for the merged tea.s, Buggy merges Cricket's and Magnus's combat teams. The gunners and snipers were there before, but now they have their own team, so these 2 teams don't have that many members. The new combat team is led by Magnus, while Cricket doesn't belong to any team.

Cricket is now just a Vice-Captain and his job in the crew is helping Buggy manage their crew. Buggy has many jobs to do now because they have organizations under them and some businesses. So he needs Cricket's help to manage their crew.

Anyway, the Clown Pirates have finished their business in Paradise, so they go to New World. They go through Fishman Island, of course, and Maverick is very amazed by it. They stay for a few days before going to New World

This sea is getting more dangerous by the day, but they couldn't care less. They are the rulers here, so nothing can scare them. But many seem to forget that because of their long absence. Some cocky pirate crews are messing with them and The Clowns remind these retards of who they are.

Many forces thought their return to New World will make this sea more violent again. But it stays the same because the Clown Pirates go to Calm Belt again. There are still 2 parts of Calm Belt they need to visit, so they don't want to waste time.

This journey lasts for more than a year and even after they finished, they don't return to New World immediately. Buggy wants to meet his family after more than 3 years, so they go to East Blue. Only after that do they go to New World to turn that sea upside down again.

But on their way to New World, Buggy asks Cricket, "Mate, have you ever wondered what Impel Down looks like?"

Cricket knows Buggy is planning to do something crazy. "Sigh~, what do you want to do?" asks Cricket while holding his slapping his forehead.

Buggy grins and says, "When my kids are all grown up, I will visit Impel Down, formally."
