Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 454: Ordering Red Hairs

"Right now? Can't we wait until we arrived in New World?"

Shanks responds to Buggy who jumped on his ship after sending the former Big Mom Pirate and the Okamas away.

"No, you don't need to return to New World, after all."

"What do you mean?"

"No need to be on edge. I just want to ask you to go meet your daughter and take care of her."

"Does something happen to her?"

Dela also gets on the Red Force and gives Buggy a very thick stack of paper. He doesn't read it and just throws it to Benn Beckman.

"Everything you need to know is there."

"Why are you giving it to Benn?"

"He looks like he can read."

Shanks gets pissed because Buggy basically just insulted him by saying that he can't read. Well, it's true that Benn is smarter than him though, so he can't complain. Besides, there are a lot of papers in that stack, so there must be a lot of things written there, making him lose interest to read it.

"Ah, my son is also there. This is the real request because taking care of your daughter is your responsibility, so the request is about my son. I want you to train him. You should know this, but the Straw Hat Pirates aren't ready for New World yet. Especially the New World after this war. If Straw Hat cares about his crewmates, then he won't go to New World immediately and asks them to get stronger first."

"So you want me to train Leo until their crew is ready? Damn, Buggy, it might take a long time."

"I know, but you'll want to stay there after you know what happened to your daughter."

"What do you mean? What happened to Uta?"

"That's for you to find out. It's your own fault for not observing her well enough. Even if you left her there for her sake, it doesn't mean you don't have responsibility anymore. At the very least, you should know how she was doing. I've told you many times to check on her often but you never listened. Anyway, if you're worried about your people in New World, then just send your crew back to take care of them. I'll also help you because you'll take care of my son for a while."

Buggy doesn't even wait for an answer and goes back to his ship. Shanks want to ask a lot more things, but Benn suddenly stops him. Benn's expression is stern, so Shanks know that something serious must've happened to Uta.

"My crew's apprentices are on their way to that island too. They will help you if needed and they also bring some good stuff for you. Those things are a little payment for training Leo and for your help at the war just now."

Buggy leaves with his crew after saying that. Leaving Red Hair Pirates that stay silent for some time before departing too. Shanks and his crew look serious after Benn told them what was written in the papers he got from Buggy.

The Red Hair Pirates are on their way to the island where Uta lives. Meanwhile, the Clown Pirates are going to Sabaody to coat their ship. Of course, the other ships that will go back to New World are on Sabaody too because they all need to be coated.

But Buggy also has another business in Sabaody, which is picking up someone he left before the war. She goes to Shakky's bar with his crew's executives. A little girl is crouching near a table and an unconscious man. She is checking the man's pockets for money.

"Shakky, I never asked you to teach my little girl to rob a customer."

"How rude. I just taught her to do good business and avoid loss."

Alice, the little girl looks up and smiles happily before running to Buggy to hug his leg.

"Uncle, you're back!"

"Of course, I told you I would just go for several days."

"I saw you on the big screen just now. You were so cool."

"Right? I could show some cooler things if I didn't need to hide my full power."

"So this is the little girl you mentioned before, huh, Captain?"

June moves forward to look at Alice who hides behind Buggy's legs.

"Yeah, she's Alice, the girl who went with me on my journey as Kuroko. Of course, she already knows who I am, though I think she doesn't really understand what Sea Emperor is. Anyway, I've decided to take care of her, so I'll take her back to New World."

"What?! Won't it be dangerous if she goes with us now?"

"Yeah, but it's not like I can just leave her here."

"Then why don't you take her to East Blue for a while? At least until we've settled things here."

"I agree with Jude. Bellemere and Nojiko will take care of her well. We'll do something very dangerous after this, and I'm sure a lot of pirates will come to New World soon. As an Emperor crew, we will be the targets of many people, so it won't be safe."

Buggy thinks that Jude and Mantis are correct. It will be very dangerous to take Alice to New World with them after they create such a big ruckus in the war. He knows that problems will keep coming after they returned to New World.

But he has promised Alice, so he needs to ask her opinion first. He tells her the dangers that await them in New World and his concerns for her. She looks sad that she can't go with Buggy now, but she also knows that she will just be a burden if she keeps following Buggy now.

So Alice agrees to the proposal. Other than not wanting to be a burden, she is also curious about Buggy's family. He has told her about his wife and children, making her curious about them. Also, Alice actually misses a mother's love, and she has thought of Buggy as someone like a father figure, so she is very curious about his wife who might be her new mother figure.

"Alright then, we won't return to New World for a while. But some of us still need to return because it will surely be busy for a while. I'll just go to East Blue with 1/3 of us, the others should return and take care of our things in New World. Dela, you will be responsible for the official things as usual. Mantis, you take over command because Cricket will take care of the former Big Mom Pirates for now."

Buggy assigns their tasks and chooses to only bring crew members with him. All the executives will return to New World because things will get dangerous for them in New World. The executives' power is really needed without Buggy there.

The executives will return to New World on Moby Dick which is still getting coated. Manba needs to treat Whitebeard and the injured Whitebeard Pirates too, so might as well sail together with them. As for Buggy, he goes to East Blue using Black Pearl immediately after telling Rayleigh that he sent Luffy to Amazon Lily.

Rayleigh checks Ace who is still unconscious for a while before going to Amazon Lily. He is still surprised to know that Ace is Roger's son, but he knows he shouldn't enter Ace's life mindlessly just because of that. Besides, personality-wise, he thinks that Luffy is more similar to Roger than Ace, that's why he is very fond of Luffy and wants to teach Luffy.

Ace and Luffy are still unconscious because Manba gave them a strong drug. Buggy didn't want them to disturb the war, so he asked Manba to put them to sleep. Ace is strong, but even he will sleep for a day because of the drug. As for Luffy, he might sleep for 2 days or a few hours longer.

Anyway, his business on Sabaody is over, so Buggy goes to East Blue with some of his crew members. He looks at the top of Red Line while smirking as his ship sails away. Marie Geoise has taken a big blow today, but it won't be the end because Buggy has another plot for it.

For now though, he just wants to send Alice to a peaceful place where she can live without worries. It's also a good chance for him to make sure that East Blue is safe. The war might change a few things including the Marines in East Blue might be more aggressive to his family there.

With Black Pearl's current speed, Buggy can arrive on Conomi Islands in less than a day. It's not that he is in a rush to go home, but he wants to test how fast Black Pearl can be now. Crossing the Calm Belt is an easy thing for Black Pearl now.

Conomi Islands are still very peaceful even with all the new people and activities. There aren't that many newcomers and activities here, after all, so the islands are still very peaceful. Buggy's family has a big trading business on East Blue, but they run it on another island which was an empty island. Now, that island is full of activities as a big town has been built there.

Many people like pirates have attempted to attack that island and Conomi Islands. But none of them succeeded because there are many people strong enough to be Captains in New World there. The world still views East Blue as the weakest sea though. They just don't know how many people on East Blue who can conquer the North, West, or South Blue.

Those people are mostly talents trained by Buggy's group. Though there are some former pirates who have gone to New World. They need to be strong because Buggy's business often gets attacked as they sell high-quality goods.

Well, that's not the concern right now because now Buggy is facing another crisis. She has met Bellemere, but things don't go as he planned. His wife is furious when she sees Alice because she thought Buggy was cheating and bring a daughter home now.

'Damn, I should've contacted her before coming here.'
