Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

85. Crocus

Surprisingly, there's still no news about Red Hair Pirates. It seems they're still amassing strength before resuming their journey. It's not a big deal though because Shanks will eventually become an Emperor.

Buggy needs to worry more about his crew instead. The Marine is very active and they've raised in fame even before entering Grandline. He's sure the Marine have known that they're in Paradise now.

But what they'll do won't change. They'll still explore the Paradise even if many enemies will try to stop them. They've trained for months because of that, so they won't back off.

"Ah, Crocus-san, I want to apologize too. I've attacked & scared Laboon just now because he block the entrance. But he is fine, we didn't use a big attack that will injure him," says Buggy.

"You scared him?!" says Crocus in surprise.

"How?" asks Crocus curiously.

"That's a secret," says Buggy while smirking.

Crocus seems to realize it and knows how Buggy scared Laboon. He widen his eyes in surprise because he never thought that Buggy will have that power. But he smiles because it means Buggy has the ability to get big in this era.

"Roger & Rayleigh will be proud of you, Buggy," says Crocus while smiling.

"They should've. Then, Crocus-san, I think we'll leave now. I just want to greet you after some years," says Buggy while standing from his seat.

The Clowns then return to his ship and Crocus sends them. They get on their ship and prepare to sail. But before sailing away, Buggy says something to Crocus.

"Crocus-san, tells Laboon I apologize. Also, I will help him find his friends again. He just needs to stay here and be well," says Buggy.

"Alright, I'll tell him about it," says Crocus lightly. He doesn't think much about it and thinks Buggy just wants to make him feel better.

The Clowns then leave and follow the Log Pose's direction that pointed to the front right. They wave to Crocus as they leave the Twin Peaks.

As they sail on the sea, Buggy tells his crew to get ready for Grandline's absurdity. He has told them many times, but they haven't seen it themselves, so they won't understand it.

Just like what Buggy thinks, the others are still quite nonchalant now. But they change fast when the sky suddenly gets dark and a blizzard suddenly appears.

Now they finally realized why Buggy always telling them about it. Grandline's weather is always absurd like this. It will get even worse in New World, so they need to prepare for it.

The Clowns try to control their ship amidst the strong blizzard. They don't even have time to change their clothes into the thicker ones because they need to control their ship.

Jude use all her knowledge to take them out of this blizzard. The blizzard lasts for 6 hours before they finally get out of it and get a good weather again. The Clowns are shivering because of the cold, but at least they can get out alive.

"It's...*brr* really an absurd sea," says Cricket while shivering.

"I've told you about it many times," says Buggy while warming himself under the sunlight.

The Clowns continue their way to the first island. They sail for a few days and keep encountering sudden weather changes. They even meet another pirate crew, but both crews ignore each other and focus on surviving the bad weather.

Them after 5 days of sailing and getting into many weather troubles, the Clown finally arrives on the first island. The island is a big active volcano that has some lava streams coming out from it.

The island is completely made out of volcanic rocks & soil. They don't see any vegetation or sign of living being on the island. Then the volcano suddenly erupts and lets out a lot of volcanic matter.

Buggy can only look at the island with a helpless expression. "Great, another terrible start."
