Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

406. Visitor

Clown Pirates' return to New World causes a stir for a while because they've been out of the radar for a few years. Many new big names are challenging them because they are the current best pirate crew in the world, so many pirate crews want to take them down.

Even when they were exploring Calm Belt, many big crews attacked their base & territories. But their allies could defend their territories well, making them more famous by the day. Their territories and allies are equipped with great weapons, after all, and they are very strong too.

The crews that challenge them are those that have made big alliances or have big total bounties. As for the ones that have small alliances or rather low bounties, they are targeting Red Hairs, the new Emperor crew. Red Hair Pirates become an Emperor crew when Clown Pirates explored Calm Belt.

Buggy hasn't met Shanks for a long time, but he doesn't go to Red Hair Pirates' place immediately. The Clown Pirates want to rest for a while now after leaving civilizations for a while. Meeting the Red Hairs will just invite unnecessary problems when they want to rest.

Although it seems the Red Hairs can't be bothered by that and visit Clownland anyway. Even Hawkeye comes at the same time, causing them to get unnecessary attention when they just want to relax. The Marines are alerted by this meeting that might lead to a war, after all.

A war really happen though, but it's not what the Marines expected. The war that happens is what Mantis calls the War of Idiots. They have a party war where they try to show they have the best party and celebration instead of showing that they are stronger in battle.

Battle becomes boring if they do it too often, so they need to do a different kind of war. Now they are competing in their skills other than battling and needless to say, Clown Pirates have much more skills than The Red Hairs. They had a lot of free time in their adventure, so they learned some other things to prevent them from getting bored.

Almost all of them are proficient in different types of art. Even Buggy who sucks at drawing can play some instruments and even sing quite well now. The others are also good artists despite their scary faces.

With such vast differences in skills, The Red Hairs are asking to do something else. They asked Clown Pirates to play some casino games that surely are known by most criminals. Hawkeye just watches from the side as the 2 crews are killing each other on the table with their cards.

Their games are tough because they are doing anything to win. They are cheating openly, but no one stops them because this is what their games are all about. Everyone can cheat because they only care about winning.

Winning by cheating just means they have the skills to attack better than their foes. Besides, if they let their foes know their cards and moves, that means they are bad at defending themselves in this game. The only rule in their game is to not fight physically.

Anyway, their whole war ends in Clown Pirates' slim victory. The Red Hairs are better at the games because they all are gambling maniacs. But the Clowns can win the overall scores because they won the previous challenges and still won some games.

There is no world-destroying war that happens that day. It makes the journalists disappointed, but they won't be journalists if they can't make use of this situation. They spread the news that Clown & Red Hair Pirates might have formed an alliance.

That news cause a big stir in the world, especially New World. But it disappears after days because nothing happens afterward. Both young Emperor crews just play around in New World as usual without doing anything crazy.

Then time passes and Buggy suddenly gets a visitor when he is trying to improve his drawing in an open field. He draws a snake that he thought would be easy. But the final result looks more like a worm suffering from a strange disease. His drawing is even worse than Kanjuro's fake bad drawing or even Luffy's drawing.
