Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

37. Ilisia Kingdom

'So Chinjao have lost his drill some years back, I don't know it. Well, it's not like I want to know about him before.'-Buggy

Buggy read through the information papers and find a familiar name.

'Capone Bege, I forget that he was a mafia before being a pirate. So he's from West Blue, huh? Should I recruit him? No, there's no way someone like him wants to be a subordinate. I don't want someone that might try to assassinate me in my crew.'-Buggy smirk

Buggy read through the papers and find a piece of information about Lafitte. That guy is a good navigator, and Buggy has considered recruiting him. However, he has Jude as a candidate now, he doesn't need 2 navigators.

After reading through the papers, Buggy pays the man and returns the papers. Those who buy information, aren't allowed to take the papers out. It is to keep the information secret and avoid leakage.

Buggy then leaves and goes to walk around the town. He tries to find something unusual in the Kingdom that sounds interesting. After walking around for some time, Buggy really finds an interesting thing.

Buggy heard some people talk about a mysterious cave on the mountain. It's a legendary cave in this Kingdom, and people said that demons live there. Many people went to the cave, but no one has returned until now.

"Demon's den, huh? Sound interesting."-Buggy

Buggy decides to check the cave later with his friends if they want. He walks around again before receiving a call from Mantis. She tells him to have lunch together in a restaurant that she found. Buggy goes there and meets his crewmates + Jude to have lunch.

"U-Uhm....."-Jude want to talk before they eat

"What is it?"-Buggy

"I-I've decided to join your crew."-Jude

""!? REALLY?""-Buggy & Cricket

"Y-yes, M-Mantis have told me many things about this crew, and I have been with your f-for a few days. I-i think you guys are not bad like other pirates, so I decide to join."-Jude said shyly

"HAHAHA, THAT'S GOOD. Now we have a real navigator."-Cricket

"EVERYONE, I HAVE A NEW MEMBER IN OUR CREW, SO WE'LL CELEBRATE IT. DRINKS ON ME!"-Buggy say to everyone in the restaurant

""YEEEAAAAH!""-People

"Ah, but it's just for drinks, and no take away!"-Buggy

"Hahaha, they know it already."-Mantis

"Sigh, you just don't know that some people are really shameless."-Buggy

They celebrate it and have a drinking party with the people there during lunch hour. These people didn't know that Buggy & co are pirates and just enjoy the party. After the small party, they return to their ship and Buggy tells them about the cave.

"D-D-DDDD-DEMON!?"-Jude get scared & hide behind Mantis

"Yeah, sound interesting isn't it?"-Buggy

"Ooh, that certainly sounds interesting."-Cricket

"I don't believe that there is a demon who lives there, but I believe that the cave is dangerous. Did you really want to go there?"-Mantis

"Of course, it's a mysterious place, who's on the right mind that didn't want to go there?"-Buggy

"..... Everyone on their right mind won't even get close to that place."-Mantis

"Well, whatever, who want to follow me there?"-Buggy

"N-no, I don't want to go."-Jude

"I'll go, sound interesting."-Cricket

"I'll stay on the ship with Jude, and try to cook something that I learned today."-Mantis

"Fine, let's go, Cricket! We'll try to find the cave before it gets dark. Mantis, bento!"-Buggy

"Yes, yes."-Mantis

Buggy & Cricket prepare everything that they might need later. After finishing their preparation and get their bento, they go to the cave located on the mountain. They search it using the clues that Buggy gets from town's people.

They explore the mountain forest for 2 hours, but they haven't find the cave. They want to ask someone, but there's no one here. Suddenly, a big white tiger appears and attacks them. Buggy didn't want to waste time, so he cover his right hand with haki, and punch the tiger's head from the left, knocking it out.

"Oi, wake up!"-Buggy slap the tiger to wake it up

"Rawr?"-The tiger wake up and look around, it gets confused, but then it gets scared seeing Buggy

"I won't kill you, but you need to show me the cave that everyone is scared of! You know it don't you?"-Buggy

"R-rawr."-The tiger nod and try to act friendly

"Good, now show me the way, and I'll let you go."-Buggy

The tiger then walks away, so Buggy & Cricket follow it. They follow the white tiger for a few minutes until they finally find a cave.

"Are you sure this is the right place?"-Buggy

The white tiger nod frantically and it stays away from the cave. It seems even the beasts here are afraid of the cave, not just the humans. Buggy let the tiger leave, and it run really fast from there.

"Even the beasts are afraid of this cave, just what lies in here that make them really afraid of it?"-Cricket

"We'll find it out, let's enter it!"-Buggy

Buggy & Cricket enter the mysterious cave.
