Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

403. Waiting

The Clown Girls are allowed to enter Amazon Lily and now they are going around the Empire while being supervised by Hancock & co. Meanwhile, the men are staying on their ship with disappointed eyes while looking at the port full of women who watch over them.

"Sigh, we should just sneak in," says Brook.

"You can try if you want to die. Our Lord will kill you immediately," says Deon.

"Yeah, he already has an agreement with his former Vice-Captain, and you know how he is. He won't violate any promise he made, especially if it's a promise with someone he respects so much," says Palu.

"I know, that's why I am complaining because that's the only thing I can do now. Besides, I don't want to end up like that," says Brook while looking at Enel whose face is full of bruises & bumps while being chained with a seastone chain on the main mast.

Enel tried to sneak into Amazon Lily, but Buggy caught him. Buggy knew Enel would try to sneak in, so he has been waiting for it. Even though Enel turned into lightning and tried to flash into the island, Buggy could still catch him by slashing him into pieces in the air to stop him before beating & tying him up.

Even the fastest among them is helpless against their overpowered Captain, so no one else tried to do it. They will just get the same or even worse things than Enel. Their lives are worth more than just seeing an Empire of women.

"By the way, what did you give that woman before?" asks Cricket curiously.

"You will know later, I can't reveal it unless the person in question doesn't agree to do it. I already told Mantis though because she can talk with Hancock now. Hancock will be more open with a woman than a man, so hopefully, she will agree. Shakky asked me to do this, after all, but I won't force it if the person herself doesn't agree," says Buggy.

"Hmm, fair enough. I'm quite curious, but I also don't like prying into someone's secret," says Cricket.

Both of them then talk about their plan to take a break before exploring New World's Calm Belt parts. But then they hear a commotion from the side. They see their crewmates gathering and cheering on something, so they check what happens.

Buggy & Cricket are quite surprised because they see competition is happening now. Maverick is having an archery competition with the Kuja women. The women were shooting at targets while watching the crew on the port to show that they can shoot the Clowns anytime easily.

But Maverick didn't know that and thought they were just having fun, so he wanted to join in. He shot an arrow from the ship and hit a target furthest from his position right in the center. The best thing was his arrow moved in a curve because the target position wasn't straight in front of him.

Of course, the women were surprised because it was an incredible shot. But they have their pride as Kuja warriors, so they want to show that they are better. That's why they challenged Maverick to compete with them in archery.

Maverick accepted it happily because he thought they wanted to play with him. They used many different types of shooting techniques and obstacles, but Maverick never missed. He can even shoot his arrow to move in a zigzag pattern to avoid a few poles that obstruct him from hitting the target.

He has such unbelievable skills that defy logic and would only appear in tales. Maverick can even do the impossible challenge of shooting an arrow through rings. An arrow will wiggle around while flying, that's why shooting it through small rings was considered impossible, but he did it in one try.

Skillwise, he is already the winner because no one from the Kuja tribe can do what he does. He does all the challenges perfectly without missing them at all. Maverick always hit the bull's eyes in one try and no one else can do that.
