Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 31: Warning

"What do you know about Amber Lead?"-Buggy

"Amber Lead? That's the mineral that become our specialty here. Of course i know a lot about it."-Trafalgar

"Then, what if i tell you there's more to it than what you know."-Buggy

"I don't understand."-Trafalgar

"Let me be frank with you, Amber Lead is dangerous, and you guys who always get in contact with it are in mortal danger."-Buggy

"What?!"-Trafalgar get alerted

"Trafalgar, you're the best doctor here, and i think you have realized too. Since the find of Amber Lead, this city's mortality must've increased. The life expectancy also dropped with people start to die at younger age."-Buggy

Buggy tell dr. Trafalgar some effect from Amber Lead Syndrome that have happened. Trafalgar also seem surprised and shocked, he have started to realize this too, but he can't confirm it. As the best doctor, he have access to a lot of data, and start to get suspicious, but he can't really get to conclusion.

"I have a suspicioun about it already, and now i become more convinced. However, i still need to look at the data and see if everything that you've said is true."-Trafalgar

"Do what you want, i just want to warn you. And i'll tell you this, if you want to move, better move fast before the worst happen. You also need to move secretly, because if the Royals hear about it, they'll try to silence you."-Buggy

"I understand."-Trafalgar

The Clown pirates then go to the window and get ready to jump out.

"Wait! Who are you? Why did you tell me about this?"-Trafalgar

"We're pirates. As for the reason, let's say that it's just a wimp and because i know about it."-Buggy

The Clown then jump out with Buggy jump first, then Cricket jump down while carrying Mantis. They jump to the ground below, and can land safely. The 3rd floor height is nothing to them now.

After they left, some securities & policemans arrive on Trafalgar's room to capture them, but it's too late. The Clown pirates have slipped out from the hospital and are on their way to their ship. They won't stay in this place for too long and continue their journey.

"Doctor, are you alright?"-Security 1

"Yeah, they just want me to check their health."-Trafalgar

"Really? Then why don't they just use the normal procedure?"-Police 1

"They're pirates, did you think they can use the normal procedure?"-Trafalgar

"Ah, that make sense."-Police 1

"Even pirates are worried of their health, huh?"-Security 2

"Of course, the sea is dangerous and they can die anytime, so their health is very important. Luckily you guys came here, or they might try to make me their ship's doctor."-Trafalgar

"That will be bad then."-Police 2

Trafalgar lie to keep the secret of their talk just now. He know the importance of keeping it as a secret. He's smart, so he know that the Royals & Nobles must've know about this syndrome, but just kept silence, all for profit.

'I'll do what i can to save the town's people, but if i can't, then at least i'll save my family.'-Trafalgar

Meanwhile, the Clown pirates have returned to their ship. They immediately leave the island and go to their next islands. They decide to move fast and didn't stay too long on these islands.

They go to Deul Kingdom, and explore it for a little bit. They buy some souvenirs, but this place is just like any normal place. Well, at least they have some specialty foods that Mantis can learn.

Then they go to Notice, this is Bellamy's hometown. This place is full of wealth, with many wealthy people. But there are a lot of poor people too that live hidden in the wealthy town.

The Clowns decide to have some entertainment and steal from the wealthy people at night. They really feel like criminals now after stealing. But then they give the money that they've stole to the poor people in there, and leave.

"Captain, we are real criminals now, hahahaha."-Cricket

"Hahaha, it will be perfect if we get bounties too."-Buggy

"What do you think our first bounty will be, Captain?"-Mantis

"Who knows, it depend on how Marine see us as threat."-Buggy

"Maybe we should attack a Marine Base?"-Cricket

"No need, we'll fight those who attack us, but we won't attack first. Our goal isn't defeating Marine or WG, it's to see the world. But if they try to stop us, then we will fight them."-Buggy

"Sounds good to me."-Cricket

The Clowns continue their journey and they go to another islands. They visit every island that drawn on the map, be it habitated or not. The only place that they can't visit is Germa Kingdom's capital. That place won't accept tourist, and it's not an island, but a giant moving city located on the back of giant snail.

It takes 2 weeks for the Clown pirates to explore the North Blue. They haven't met with any Marine ship, but their activity has been sniffed by Marine. They explore North Blue with pirate flag, so it create suspicion. However, the Marine can't track the Clown Pirates' movement as it is very random, but they have a way.

"Captain, how will we go to West Blue? The 2 seas get separated by Grandline and Calm Belt."-Cricket

"I know, that's why we need to cross them."-Buggy

"How?"-Mantis

"There is an official way by climbing the Red Line, and go through Mary Geoise, but pirates won't be able to use it. Then there is an unofficial way that we can use."-Buggy

The unofficial way that can be used by pirates is basically just crossing the Calm Belt, but by using tamed seakings. By using seakings to pull the ships, other seakings in calm belt will not attack the ships, most of the time.

It's not rare for wild seakings to attack these ships, that's why this is risky, but it's the only way. The ships that cross the Calm Belt will move together with some seakings. With some seakings banded together, it will reduce the possibility of wild seakings attack.

North and West Blue are separated by the New World. That's why they can't use reverse mountain to reach Grandline first before crossing to West Blue. They can just sail through the calm belt with their ship, but it's a lot more dangerous.

There's no wind or current on Calm Belt, and it's full of seakings. Unless they have machine to move their ship and have a way to avoid the seakings or even able to defeat them, they'll just get destroyed there.

"So we will use that unofficial way?"-Mantis

"Yeah, but we won't use their seakings, we will use ours."-Buggy grin

"Huh? What do you mean?"-Cricket

"Ah!? You want to ask Kraken to pull our ship."-Mantis realize

"Yeah. Those guys are also a kind of seakings and feared by others too. We have a good relationship with them, so why not ask them for it?"-Buggy

"But they're octopus, can they even swim on the surface?"-Mantis

"Maybe not, but they can stick on the Red Line right?"-Buggy

""Ooh.""-Cricket & Mantis

Now the Clown Pirates are going to North Pole to ask the Krakens. But before going to North Pole, they will stock their supplies again, so they go to the closest town. They can buy their supplies without any trouble, but when they just left the island, they meet a trouble.

"Captain, there's A Marine battleship ahead."-Cricket

"Ooh, after all these time, we finally encounter a Marine battleship. Did you know who's ship is that?"-Buggy

"Let me see.... It's Captain T-Bone's ship."-Cricket

"T-Bone?"-Buggy

Buggy remember T-Bone, he is the one who help the CP-9 on Water 7 to escort Robin to Enies Lobby. He is a Rear Admiral on Grandline at that time, but now he is still a Captain on West Blue.

"That guy is a strong believer of Justice, he won't let us go and will attack us. Get ready for a battle!"-Buggy

""AYE AYE!""-Cricket & Mantis

"Finally, a battle with Marine."-Buggy grin
