Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 50: Nico Robin

The Clowns have defeated the Marine Unit, so now they're getting ready to leave before more Marines come. Diez's Marine Unit also has left the island and surely has called for reinforcement.

But before they sail away, Buggy sense someone is looking at them. He searches for the person and finally sees a little girl hiding behind a tree from far away.

'Robin, huh? She really looks like in the bounty poster. I won't recognize her without the bounty poster. In fact, I won't recognize anyone without bounty posters or other sources.'-Buggy

For Buggy, everyone in here was a drawing in his past life, but now they were real humans. That's why Buggy search for many information like bounty posters or bought it from blackmarket.

However, some characters are very noticeable. Like when he first saw Shanks, who has red hair and wearing a straw hat. He also knows Shanks from the original's memory.

As for the case with Bellemere, Buggy recognized her through her noticeable hairstyle. He doesn't remember anyone except her with red hair & Chelsea Hawk cut in One Piece. But he still asked her to make sure of it.

As for Robin, he has seen her bounty picture before, so he knows her face. The most noticeable thing from her is her eyes. So even when she wears a cloak to cover her face, Buggy can see her eyes and know that it's Robin. Robin seems to notice that he has found her, so she run away.

"You guys, get ready to leave anytime! I will leave for a moment."-Buggy order his crewmates

"Where'd you want to go, Cap-"-Mantis asks Buggy, but he already left

"Bastard, I will punch him if he isn't the Captain."-Mantis has a tickmark and get pissed

"You talk like you haven't hit him many times because he doesn't eat some vegetables that you've cooked."-Cricket sweatdrop

Buggy doesn't like to eat vegetables, especially the green-colored ones. That's why Mantis always forces him to eat even if she needs to hit him like she is his mother. Also, as a cook, she doesn't like to see someone waste their food.

While Mantis gets pissed at him, Buggy runs very fast and catches up to Robin. He catches her shoulder and surprises her. But then she suddenly cross her hands and some small hands made of flower petals appear on his body.

'She ate the devil fruit, huh?'-Buggy

Robin uses her hands to grab him and try to bend his body back. This is her technique to break his spine, and it is very effective. But too bad, she is still too weak to bend Buggy's body even a little.

"You can stop it now, you're not strong enough to do anything to me currently."-Buggy

Robin struggles and tries to release Buggy's grip on her shoulder.

"Don't struggle too much! You'll just hurt yourself. Besides, you should know who am I already right now."-Buggy

"Buggy The Clown, a pirate with 50 million bounty. Also, a few sources indicate that you were Roger pirates' apprentice."-Woman voice

Suddenly, a woman's voice is heard, so Buggy looks at the source. It's the woman in the bar that gave him the fake information.

"Please release her, or you'll really hurt her shoulder."-Woman

Buggy release Robin, who then runs to the woman, and hides behind her.

"Who are you?"-Buggy

"I am Dina, Robin's mother's friend. For now, I am her caretaker."-Dina

'Huh? I don't remember anything about her, is she really Olivia's friend?'-Buggy

(a.n: She is an original character for story purposes)

Buggy uses his observation haki and doesn't feel any malicious intent from Dina.

'At least she's not intending to hurt Robin or something like that. Maybe my arrival in this world have changed a few things already?'-Buggy

"Can I ask, why someone like you want to find Robin? If you're really Roger Pirates' ex-apprentice."-Dina

"Oi oi oi, I was really an apprentice there, you can ask the other members if you can find them. And about your question, I try to find her because I feel a little guilty to her."-Buggy

"Guilty? Why is that?"-Dina

"The reason why Ohara get destroyed was because they learn about hidden history right? That history is dangerous for the WG, so they try to eradicate everyone who can uncover it. Before your people on Ohara get exposed, there is a group of people that have found that history."-Buggy

"A group of people? Is it-"-Robin

"Roger pirates, who have reached the last island. This is the reason why WG wants to eradicate our crew. It's not only because Captain Roger has the Pirate King title, but also because of this."-Buggy

Robin widens her eyes and gets a little excited now.

"T-then, can you-"-Robin

"No, I can't tell you about it. First, I didn't go to Laugh Tale because I was sick at that time. And second, I won't tell you even if I went there and know everything."-Buggy

"W-why?"-Robin

"If you want to find an answer to your question, then find it yourself! Everyone sail to the sea for that reason. Don't rush the process and try to find your own answer. Maybe you will find a different answer than us or the people of Ohara. The journey that you'll go through for that answer is just as important as the answer itself."-Buggy

".... I don't understand."-Robin

"You'll know it in the future when you have your own friends that will sail with you and care for you."-Buggy

Robin ponders about it and doesn't really understand what Buggy means. Well, she hasn't found any of that, so she doesn't know the feeling of sailing with friends who care for her.

"So, is that why you want to meet her?"-Dina

"No, the thing is, I can get you to a safe place where even WG and Marine can't get you."-Buggy

"What?! Is there really such a place?"-Dina surprised

"Yeah, but we need to leave West Blue for that. If you want to go there, then you need to come with me. I will protect you until that time."-Buggy

Dina ponders about it and looks at Robin. She is Olivia's friend, so she feels responsible to take care of Robin. She doesn't know whether she can trust Buggy or not, she needs to be careful about this.

"You've seen my crew of 4 defeating the Marine Unit easily, so there will be no problem when we sail around the West Blue."-Buggy

"It's a matter of trust, not strength. Also, sail around West Blue? What do you mean?"-Dina

"Ah, I haven't told you. My crew will sail around West Blue before we move to South Blue. We will visit every island and find all things that we can find there. Isn't it exciting?"-Buggy smile excitedly

"E-exciting? Why?"-Dina take a step back

"Because we will find many new things and mysteries on those islands. The world is full of mysteries, and I want to find it all."-Buggy said excitedly

Dina & Robin see the passion in Buggy's eyes and know that he really meant what he said. Dina thinks about it and following Buggy seems to be the best thing to do now.

With his strength, there are not many who can stop him on West Blue, he can protect them better. The underworld organization where they live now seem to be ready to abandon them anytime, so it's not safe.

"Fine, we will follow you, but I have a requirement."-Dina

"What is it?"-Buggy

"You can do anything to me, but please don't touch Robin."-Dina

"Huh? What do you mean?"-Buggy blink his eyes many times

Buggy look at the trembling Robin and Dina who cover her breast & crotch. Buggy has a dark face and understands what she means now.

"Oi, I'm not a pedophile, and you look like a 30+ y.o woman, you're too old for me."-Buggy said with a dark expression

"Old? I AM JUST 34."-Dina get pissed and punch Buggy in the face

"AND I AM JUST 17."-Buggy said while flying back and falling to the ground

Well, after that, both Dina & Robin agree to join the Clown for a moment until they find a safe place.
