Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 3

412. Loguetown

Straw Hat Pirates now have 6 members in total after Leo joined them. This makes Buggy think that maybe it happens because he took Brook to his crew. He was changing things, so he needs to be responsible, and now his kid become a replacement for the original member.

Well, that's what Buggy wants to think because it sounds funny if it's true. Anyway, he doesn't have any problem if his son decides to join Straw Hat Pirates. Buggy wanted Leo to lead his own crew like him, but Leo is free to do anything he wants.

Besides, if Leo wants to join a crew, then the Straw Hat Pirates will be his best choice. They surely have the craziest journey and it is led by the Main Character of this world. The Straw Hats might be the only crew that can guarantee Leo's growth.

"Well, I have made some changes, so I'm curious how things will turn out now. I thought they won't meet Nami, but it still happened, and they even got Leo. This means the chance of them meeting Robin is also high. I don't know where that girl is now, she is getting better at hiding now. Hmm, let's observe this for now," says Buggy while looking at Luffy's first bounty poster.

Luffy got his first bounty poster after saving Orange Town. But none of the Straw Hats know it yet because Bellemere hid it from them while they were trained. She finally gives it to them when they are about to depart.

"40 MILLION?!" shouts everyone in surprise.

The Pirate Captain he defeated has a bounty of 35 million. So it's normal for him to get a higher bounty than that guy. But it is still strange that he gets his first bounty that easily. No one in Orange Town reported him, so he shouldn't get his bounty yet.

Well, this is similar to how he got his first bounty in the series after defeating Arlong. The guy that Luffy defeated has a business with a Marine Officer. He gave the officer some portions of his loot while the officer made sure his crew won't get into trouble.

That guy's defeat ended all their business and now the officer won't get more money. Jimmy & Burton who took care of the aftermath in Orange Town didn't send the defeated pirates to Marine, after all. They were sent to a mine owned by The Caribbean as work forces.

The officer can't do anything about it because the Caribbean is a strong organization. So he decided to blame Straw Hat Pirates and it ended up with Luffy getting a bounty. His bounty picture is quite different from his first bounty picture in the series.

In his current bounty picture, Luffy is picking his nose with his pinky finger while looking at the camera. Usopp's back head still appears though and Sanji actually got his right foot captured by the camera when he kicked someone. Both of them are cheering and tease Zoro about it because he doesn't appear.

They get into a brawl which only hurt Usopp while Luffy is still looking at his first bounty happily. Leo sighs and shakes his head while thinking if he made the right choice. Nami ignores them because she is having a teary parting with Bellemere & Nojiko.

The Straw Hat Pirates are finally ready to depart and they don't waste time. Leo & Nami keep waving to everyone on the port as the ship sails away. They will go for a quite long time on a dangerous journey, so they need to bid their farewell correctly.

After a while, the ship finally gets far enough, so the island isn't visible anymore. Leo & Nami go to the main deck which looks very full now. There are some orange trees, musical instruments, boxes filled with food, and some more things.

"Our ship becomes too small all of a sudden," says Zoro.

"This is always a small ship, you know, and it doesn't look tough," says Leo while tapping the railing.
