Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 45: Crea Town

"Captain, I see the island."-Cricket

The Clown Pirates have finally reach Crea Town after 3 days. The town is located on Smith Island, a small island near the Ballywood Kingdom.

They dock on an empty coast and go to the Town. Jude decides to stay on the ship with Salaki. She still wants to train her devil fruit ability and make some techniques.

The others go to the Town that has a medium size. They ask around to find the best jeweler in the town. They find him, but he has retired since last year because of age. His son replaces him in the workshop, but the son's skill is still far below the father's.

Buggy & co immediately go to the retired jeweler. His house is on the outskirt on the west side of town. They find it after walking for some time, and the house is small for the best jeweler in town.

They knock on the door, and soon an old lady comes out. They tell her they want to meet the old jeweler, Laice Handy. The old lady is his wife, May Handy. She calls her husband, and sometime later, a hunched old man comes out.

"You want to meet me?"-Laice

"Yes, we heard you are the best jeweler in town, so we want to ask for your help."-Buggy

"Were. I have retired since last year, so I can't make any jewelry again. Ask my son to make it for you."-Laice

"It's alright, we will also ask your son for it. In fact, we will ask for some more craftsmen to make our order. No one can make our order alone, after all, even you in your prime."-Buggy smirk

"Hmm? Are you doubting my skill even in my prime, kid?"-Laice get offended

"I'm not, but this is something that I believe you never work on. And I believe this will need many people to work on it."-Buggy

"Now you intrigue me, what is it that you want to make?"-Laice

"A necklace, but not any necklace, it's a necklace with 3 meters diameter and it needs to be very strong so it won't break easily."-Buggy

"3 METERS?!"-May

"Kid, are you planning to make a necklace for a giant?"-Laice

"Sort of, I will take you to see the one who'll wear it if you agree to make the necklace."-Buggy

"Hmmm..."-Laice ponder

"Why don't you take it? I know you want to make a masterpiece as your last work. You haven't done it when you retired, so maybe this is your chance. A giant necklace sound like a masterpiece right?"-May

".... Fine, I'll take it, but the design will be from me, how is it?"-Laice

"Sure, I don't have any design too, so it's better like this. I will also leave the team that will help your work to you."-Buggy

"That's even better. Now let's go to the workshop to call my son. We will check the client, and take the measurement."-Laice

"Alright, just don't get too surprised old man, because your heart has become weak with age."-Buggy smirk

"Bah, my heart will still beat for decades."-Laice

They all go to the workshop near the town center. They meet with Laice's son, Laite who is a 50 y.o man.

"You sure you want to take it, dad? You said your back won't be able to hold if you keep working."-Laite

"Don't worry about my back, worry more about your skill!"-Laice

"Ugh, I'm improving a lot you know."-Laite

"You still have a long way to go. Anyway, we have a big job now, so take your measuring tools and we'll get to work. Take our biggest & longest tools, this is really a 'big' job."-Laice

"I don't know what you want to measure, but fine."-Laite

Laite takes the tools and then they follow the Clown pirates to the coast. When they arrive on the coast, Laice & Laite are stunned. They don't move and have their jaw dropped to the ground.

"This is Salaki, your client. You need to make a pretty but strong necklace for her."-Buggy

""...""-Laice & Laite didn't respond, they're too shocked by the giant snake

"Oi, are you still there?"-Cricket touch their shoulder, make them return to their sense

"Ah, y-yeah."-Laice

"I-is the client really this giant snake?"-Laite

"That's right, a necklace with a diameter of 3 meters. Who else will wear it except her?"-Buggy

"Don't worry, she is docile, as long as you don't piss her off."-Mantis

Laice & Laite finally accept it after some persuasion from Buggy. Now they're measuring the size of Salaki's neck with their tools. It takes some time for them to finish the measurement.

"How long can you finish it?"-Buggy

"Tomorrow afternoon, we can finish it at that time."-Laice

"Alright, we'll stay here until you finish it."-Buggy

Laice & Laite return to their workshop to make the necklace. They will ask some friends to help them make this giant necklace.

The Clown pirates can do what they want now. They decide to explore the town to find something interesting. Only Salaki stays on the coast to guard the ship.

The Clowns go separately to explore the island. Cricket goes without anything in mind, Mantis goes to look for food, while Jude goes to find some navigational tools.

Buggy himself goes to a swordsmith to check his new swords' condition. He goes to the best swordsmith in the town, which has a workshop in the South district.

Buggy arrives at the workshop that looks small for someone that said to be the best swordsmith in town. Buggy enters it and a middle-aged woman greets him.

"Welcome to our workshop. I am Alia, the wife of Drey the swordsmith. Did you want to order a sword?"-Alia

"No, I just want to check my swords' condition."-Buggy

"That's a good thing then."-Alia

"Why?"-Buggy

"My husband is working on some swords already, so he won't take another order. His principle is to make the best even if he only makes a few. That's why we only make a few swords, but they all are high-quality swords."-Alia

"Oh, so he doesn't take another sword making order, huh?"-Buggy

"Yes, for this month. I will call my husband, please wait here."-Alia

Alia gets inside to call her husband. A few moments later, a buffed middle-aged man comes out with Alia, he is Drey.

"Are you the one who want to check your swords?"-Drey

"Yeah, I just found them, so I want to check their condition."-Buggy takes his shortswords out

"You found 2 swords? Founded swords usually have low quality, so why'd you take them?"-Drey take the swords

"I don't think their qualities are low, but I don't know if they're top grade either. Still, I think their qualities are high."-Buggy

"Hmm, let's see if you're true."-Drey

Drey unsheaths the black hilted sword and his calm face suddenly turns serious. He inspects the sword closely with a very serious face. Then he inspects the white-hilted sword and still has a serious expression.

"Young man, you're really lucky, huh? Very very lucky."-Drey

"Hmm? Why?"-Buggy

"These 2 are famed swords, and not just any famed swords, they're from 50 Skillful Grade Swords. They're the twin kopis swords, also known as Gemini Twin Swords, Castor & Pollux."-Drey
