Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

10. Companions

Buggy return to Loguetown after his fail to chase a pirate crew. Now he think of finding some companions that can help him. His money will be splitted, but he can't hunt pirates on the sea if he is alone. If Naval battle happen, he won't win at all by himself.

"I need to find at least a shooter, and a good one at that. It will be a waste to have a shooter that can't hit enemy's ship at all. As for helmsman, i can think about it later."-Buggy

Buggy think if he need to recruit Yasopp, but then he remember of a good sniper on Loguetown, Daddy. Daddy is a non canon character, so Buggy isn't sure if he is real or not. The only way to find out is by searching about it.

'That guy is a good sniper, so if he's real, people will know about him.'-Buggy

Buggy then search for the information about Daddy, and he find it. Daddy is real, but he is not a bounty hunter like what Buggy remember. He is a marine now, not a bounty hunter.

"Damn, i forget that he become a bounty hunter after he lost from Yasopp, and that's still some years later. Sigh, i guess i need to find another person."-Buggy

Buggy walk around the town, but of course he won't find a good shooter easily. He sigh and go to the Marine base with his disguised appearance. He want to upate his bounty posters collection, and the Marine give them free to hunters like him.

Buggy go to where he can take the bounty posters. He ask the receptionist, and she take a batch of posters. Buggy is flipping the posters when he see a man with 1 arm is wandering in front of the board.

"What's he doing?"-Buggy

"Ah, he is thinking of which pirate that he should hunt. However, he always hesitate and never choose anyone. This is his everyday routine."-Receptionist

"He's a bounty hunter?"-Buggy

"Yes, he is a gunner, and his skill was actually good. However, as you can see, he lost his right arm 2 months ago which is his dominant arm. Since then, he never shoot his gun again, but maybe he still want to try it."-Receptionist

"Oh."-Buggy

Buggy think it can be an opportunity, so he follow the gunner.

"Why're you following me?"-Gunner

"Well, i see you in the marine base before, and they say you're a gunner, so i want to ask if you want to join my team."-Buggy

"You're a bounty hunter, kid? Better stop it! It's dangerous, you might lose your limbs later, or even your life."-Gunner

"I know it, but i'll still do it."-Buggy

"Do as you please. And for recruiting me, you can forget about it. I can't shoot again now."-Gunner

"Because of your right arm? How about using your left arm?"-Buggy

"It's not as easy as that, my left arm isn't as stable as my right arm, so my aim is bad."-Gunner

"Then, how if you use cannon? It's stable, unlike your left arm."-Buggy

"What? Cannon? What do you mean?"-Gunner

Buggy smile and explain his situation to the gunner. The gunner got interested, but he's still not sure. Buggy then ask him to try the cannon first before deciding.

"I don't know if this will work, but i want to try it. Ah, my name is Burton."-Burton

"Buggy."-Buggy

They go to Buggy's ship, and check the cannon on the front deck. Thry don't have any target, so they sail to the other side of the island. They find a rock and Buggy put some distance between the ship & the rock.
