Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 431: Supernova

It hasn't been long since Buggy left Sabaody, but he is here again after some weeks. The first place he visits is Alice's father's grave. Alice wants to tell her dad what she has done since she left Sabaody with Buggy, so he takes her here.

Buggy just waits for Alice and comforts her when she's crying. It is surely hard for a little girl to be left by her dad at such a young age. He knows Alice will overcome it in the future, but this has just been some weeks. Even though she looked happy on their journey, Buggy knows she missed her dad so much.

Anyway, after Alice is done, Buggy takes her to Shakky's place. If his calculation is right, then the Strae Hats will reach Sabaody tomorrow. Buggy has a plan and he can't involve Alice because it will be dangerous for her, so he wants to ask for Shakky's help.

"You want me to take care of this little cutie?"

"Yeah, for a while."

"Buggy-chan, you haven't met me for a rather long time. But once you met me, you used a different appearance and even give me the task to take care of a child. What are you up to now?"

"Well, I'm sure you know already."

"Sigh, who would've thought that the Greatest Rookie Pirate is actually the Greatest Emperor of The Sea."

"Someone needs to humble the new kids, don't you think? Young pirates these days are getting too ignorant and don't have principles. They thought they are the best, so they need to be humbled a bit."

"Are you sure you aren't just having fun?"

"I always have fun, so I don't need to mention it, right? Anyway, please take care of Alice for a while. I have a big plan, and it will surely surprise you. But please don't panic when you hear the news later, it's all part of my plan."

"What plan is it? And what news?"

"Just a plan to visit a place I couldn't visit yet. As for the news, you will know what I mean when it happens. Things will get dangerous around me, that's why I ask you to take care of Alice until I returned."

"Sigh, alright, fine. I've received a lot of help from you, so I can do this much."

"Alright, then Alice, listen to her, alright? I will return after some days, so wait for me."

Alice looks sad, but she nods and obeys Buggy's order. She knows Buggy has an important business to do for him to leave her again. He never broke their promises, so she knows he will return just like how he returned after finishing his business on Skypiea.

The next day, the Straw Hats really arrive on Sabaody. Things happen quite differently from the series because there's no Brook there and Hatchan is a member of Clown Pirates now. But Hatchan is actually present there with Camie and they meet the Straw Hats too.

Hatchan is on a holiday now. Well, he's not really on holiday because he has a personal business to take care of. But because it's personal, he takes his yearly leave quota. Buggy gave his crew members such a thing so that they can also do things they want.

This is also the case for Hatchan who takes all his quota this year. He is coming back to Fishman Island after hearing that Camie is targeted by slave traders. The slave traders are none other than the Macro gang who were once members of Sun Pirates like Arlong's crew.

They are kidnapping their own kin and selling them as slaves. Hatchan and other fishmen members of Clown Pirates have done many things to prevent this like making a trained squad of fishmen that worked under them. But they couldn't fully prevent it although they can reduce the capture rate of fishmen a lot.

The Clowns' fishmen members didn't want to meddle directly in this, including Hatchan. After all, they don't want to make trouble for their crew and it's not their responsibility. The ones that should handle this are the Kingdom and Sun Pirates, not them.

But Hatchan now takes this personally because Camie is targeted. He is very close to Camie who he already thinks of as a little sister. That's why he couldn't let this and decided to take care of this personally. After joining Clown Pirates for 8 years, Hatchan has become very strong, even though he is still not a brilliant guy.

Hatchan follows Camie while selling Takoyaki on a small ship. He was beating up the Macro gang when Camie & Pappag got eaten by a seaking. Luckily, the Straw Hats were hunting the seaking, so Camie & Pappag got saved.

But it doesn't take long for them to get in trouble again when they left to inform Hatchan that they're fine. Duval gang captured them after seeing them being chummy with the Straw Hats. So the Straw Hats go to help them and Hatchan meets them there after going around to find Camie & Pappag.

Luckily for the Duval gang, Hatchan doesn't take care of them personally and just released Camie from the cage. He leaves the gang to the Straw Hats after knowing the problem between them. Hatchan might not be smart, but he is sensible enough to let people solve their own problems.

Right now, Hatchan is guiding the Straw Hats to go around Sabaody. They go to Shakky's bar first to ask Rayleigh to coat Sunny. Alice is playing a waitress game right now. She is helping Shakky serve customers, including beating up customers who don't pay.

The Straw Hats come right in time to see Alice drags out a beaten-up man out of the bar. They are very stunned to see her welcome them with a big smile after rolling the beaten-up man down the hill. It's a very unusual sight, after all, but they have seen many things, so they try to ignore it.

Things go similarly to the series in Shakky's bar. Except for their surprise when they know that Hatchan is a Clown Pirates member and there is a rookie who has a bounty of 600 million. That's 2 times higher than Leo's bounty, which is very high already for a rookie.

"People call rookie pirates who haven't crossed to New World with more than the bounty 100 million as Supernova. So if we ranked the Supernovas from the highest bounty, then Monkey-chan will be 2nd with 330 million and Leo-chan is 4th with 300 million. The 3rd is Captain "Eustass" Kid with 315 million. As for Roronoa-chan, you are 12th, 2nd from below."

There are 13 Supernovas now because Kuroko Buggy & Leo are in the rank. This is the most supernovas Grandline has ever had in a generation.

"This Kuroko guy, we have fought him once."

"Oh, really? Then you must get beaten up quite badly."

The Straw Hats see Shakky's smile, which makes them assume she knows him.

"That's right, I know him quite well. This little girl is his foster daughter and he left her here for a while to take care of something."

"What?!"

They are very surprised, but now they can understand why Alice could drag a beaten-up guy while smiling. Nami is still pissed at Kuroko Buggy, so she asks Shakky about him.

"Hahaha, so you met him on a Sky Island where he fought everyone there, huh? Well, he likes to fight, that's for sure. I think that is the reason he goes around places. But I can tell you that he is not a bad person at all. Although he can be very ruthless when he sees something that goes against his morale. The reason why his bounty is very high was because he attacked a Celestial Dragon and defeated a Vice-Admiral."

The Straw Hats don't know about Celestial Dragon, but they sure know about Vice-Admirals. Though the fishmen are very shocked to know someone is crazy enough to attack a Celestial Dragon. Hatchan even says that Kuroko should have a higher bounty just because he dared to attack a Celestial Dragon, that's just how crazy it is.

Anyway, because Rayleigh isn't there, they decide to search for him. Although they also want to see Sabaody Park and play around for a while. Hatchan goes to find Rayleigh because he knows this place more and he is the strongest here, so he can protect himself.

That is a bad decision though because then Camie gets captured by slave traders. Buggy has monitored their movements since they arrived, so he knows everything, but he doesn't do anything yet. He follows Camie to the human shop that still exists here.

Buggy has tried to end the human shop business, but they have strong backing from Celestial Dragons. Although the shops can be destroyed, slavery itself can't be stopped that easily. Well, he has planned a lot of things, but it's not the time to execute that plan yet.

Anyway, when Hatchan hears that Camie gets captured, he gets angry and goes to find her. He beats up some slave trader gangs to find where she was sent. He finds her and goes to the human shop that will sell Camie.

Hatchan breaks the door and enters angrily after beating up the guards. He will beat up everyone in the building if needed, but he doesn't need to. Right when he comes in, Luffy is punching a Celestial Dragon very hard.

"Straw Hat, was he the one trying to buy Camie?"

Luffy nods at Hatchan's question. Hatchan looks at Camie who is being held in a glass container. Leo is standing in front of her to protect her from anyone trying to take her.

"Good job, I would beat him up myself if you didn't do it. If that happened, then he won't be alive by now."

Hatchan is not joking. He will really kill this Celestial Dragon who tried to enslave Camie. The current Hatchan who has joined Clown Pirates for years won't fear the Celestial Dragons. A member of the strongest Emperor crew shouldn't fear people in bubbles.

Buggy who watches from the dark grins widely seeing Hatchan acts like that. He is proud of Hatchan for standing up like that. Buggy doesn't need a crewmate who would let those they are caring for suffer.

"You've grown up, Hatchan. Now, the main events will start. Let's see how things will turn out. It's about time to start the plan."
