Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 73: Talk with Whitebeard

Chapter 73: Talk with Whitebeard

"Whitebeard," says Buggy after hearing the voice from denden mushi.

"Red Nose brat, you and that Red Hair brat have started to make your own name now. Roger must've been proud of you," says Whitebeard through the denden mushi.

"Cut the crap, old man! What do you want?" asks Buggy.

"Let my sons go and we'll end this here," says Whitebeard with a serious tone.

"Why should I listen to you? You're not my dad," says Buggy unfazed.

"Gurarara, you've grown some balls over these years. Say it! What do you want?" asks Whitebeard.

Buggy gets silent for a moment before replying, "A favor, give me a favor that I can take any time, and I'll release him."

"A favor? Just say it now and I will give it," says Whitebeard.

"I don't need anything from you now, so I will keep it for the future when I need it. I promise it won't be something irrational like taking your life or something like that. If I want your life, then I'll take it myself," says Buggy while smirking.

"Hah, cheeky brat. You're 10 years too early to say that," says Whitebeard.

"I don't need 10 years for that, I will be able to do it in 5 years at most. So, what's your answer?" asks Buggy.

"P-Pops, d-don't! This is... my fault... for being... weak," says Squard weakly.

"Shut up, Squard! If you're weak, then you can train to get stronger, but you can't do anything if you're dead. I am your father, so I will protect you," says Whitebeard.

Squard gets silent and cries a little.

"Fine then, Red Nose brat, I'll owe you a favor. It's nothing compared to my son's life," says Whitebeard.

"Good," says Buggy.

Buggy orders his crew to release Squard's crewmates. Then the Spider Maelstorm Pirates go to Squard & treat him. Buggy asks Manba to give them some medicines for Squard.

"Whitebeard," says Buggy to Whitebeard through the denden mushi.

"What do you want now?" asks Whitebeard.

"Prepare yourself! The era has changed, and it will change again soon," says Buggy while grinning.

Whitebeard grins too and says, "Show me how it will change then!"

Buggy closes the call and tells the Spider Maelstorm Pirates to leave. They leave the island immediately so they can treat Squard's wounds.

The Clown Pirates & natives return to the village by riding the giant birds. After arriving in the village, Buggy tells his crew that they will leave now. If even Squard's crew can find them, then Marine will find them too.

The Clowns get ready to leave and bid farewell to the natives. Meanwhile, Buggy talks to Manba about his intention to recruit Manba.

"Manba, you want to see the world, right?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, but I don't know-how and my aunt won't allow it," says Manba.

"Then how if you come with us? We will explore the world, and we are rather strong. So we can protect each other. I will also help you to become stronger," says Buggy.

Manba widens his eyes & looks at Buggy then says, "C-can I?"

"Yeah, of course. As you know, we don't have a doctor and need one. You are the perfect candidate for that," says Buggy.

"B-but my aunt," says Manba

"She allows it, I've talked to your uncle and he talked with her. They allow it after seeing my power previously," says Buggy.

Manba doesn't say anything and runs off to his home. Buggy just blinks his eyes and giggles. Then Buggy also goes to the village and bids farewell to the natives & birds.

After that, they go to their ship on the coast and get ready to leave. The natives & birds also go to the coast to send the pirates. But Manba can't be seen among the natives, only he is not there.

"Captain, where's Manba?" asks Mantis.

"He doesn't want to come, huh?" asks Cricket.

Buggy just smiles and doesn't say anything. The natives also talk about Manba and ask Nhiba & his wife. Nhiba & his wife is also confused and don't know why Manba isn't here now.

"Does he change his mind from leaving the island?" asks Nhiba's wife.

"No way, that kid is very stubborn and won't give up easily," says Nhiba.

"But maybe he got afraid after the previous battle," says a native man.

They talk about it and many people think that Manba has decided to stay on the island. The Clown Pirates also have finished their ship's preparation and are ready to leave.

"Captain, everything's ready," says Jude.

"Well then, let-" Buggy can't finish his words when someone shouts from far away.

"WAIT, BUGGY- NO, CAPTAIN! DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND!" shouts Manba from far in the forest.

Everyone looks at Manba's voice direction and soon, they see him. Manba is running with a very big bag on his back. The bag is a lot bigger than him even though he's already fat.

"There he is," says Buggy while smiling.

"Heh, took him long enough to pack his stuff," says Cricket.

"He's just running too slow," says Mantis.

"So this means he will join us, right?" asks Jude.

"Of course, we'll have a doctor now," says Buggy.

Manba keeps running to the ship and the natives open the way for him. He runs and then jumps to the ship. Well, he tried to. Manba failed to get on the ship and crash to it instead because he can't jump high enough.

*BAM* Everyone flinched because Manba crashed face-first to the ship's wall.

"Ugh, that must be hurt," says Cricket.

Buggy detaches his hand to grab Manba and says, "Just climb through the rope if you can't jump this high."

Buggy pulls Manba to the ship and Manba just laugh while scratching his head. Manba puts his bag down and then looks at the natives & birds. He bid farewell to them and says that he will return when he has seen the world.

After bidding their farewell, the Clown Pirates start to sail. They leave the Torino Kingdom to continue their journey. It's just the beginning of their journey on South Blue.

When they get quite far from the Torino Kingdom, the Clowns hold a party. It's to celebrate their victory over Squard's crew and celebrate their new member. Manba is still quite shy, but he adapts fast and joins the boy's craziness.

"Ah, that's right Manba, what's inside your big bag?" asks Cricket.

"My personal belongings and also medical tools. I know you guys don't have a lot of medical tools, so I bring everything I have," says Manba.

"Just how many tools that you have to make it this big?" asks Cricket curiously.

"Well, there's a lot of them. I also bring some tools for research, after all. The outside world must have many new herbs or things that are useful for medical purposes. I will need to research them to know their characteristics and usage," says Manba.

Cricket just blinks his eyes in confusion and says, "Well, just do what you want."

Their party lasts for an hour before they stop. Manba put his belongings in the male bedroom that was used by Cricket before he moved.

"Where will we go now, Captain?" asks Jude.

"Hmm, let's just go to the nearest island. We will explore the islands fast & randomly to avoid Marine's detection," says Buggy.

Jude nod and set their course to the nearest island. The Clown Pirates journey with 5 crew members has started.
