Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 47: Parting With Salaki



Chapter 47: Parting With Salaki

Salaki's necklace finally finished right after one day of waiting. The necklace is wide and looks more like a collar than a necklace. But it still has a pretty appearance, so it's still a necklace.

"I made it wide like a collar because if it's too thin, then it will be weak when used by such a giant snake."-Laice

"Hmm, I think you're right."-Buggy

Even though it's wide like a collar, but it's not a block of steel like that. The necklace is just wider than the normal proportion, but it still looks like a necklace.

"It is called Choker Necklace."-Jude

"Choker? Will it choke you? Why would you use something that can choke you?"-Cricket

"It's just the name, it won't really choke you."-Mantis sweatdrop

The necklace is made from stainless steel, with silver & gold linings. It also has colorful gems ornaments to add beauty. On the bottom side, many hanging ornaments will shake every time Salaki moves.

"Choker or Bhoker, it doesn't matter, what matters is the wearer's opinion. How is it Salaki? Did you like it?"-Buggy

"Shyaaa shyyaa!"-Salaki look really pleased

"It's good that you like it, so you should take care of it!"-Buggy

"Shyyaa."-Salaki nod

"She like it old man, thanks for the beautiful necklace."-Buggy

"Don't mind it! This is truly a masterpiece to really end my career. It's not an everyday occurrence to make a giant necklace for a giant snake after all, hahahaha."-Laice

"That's good then. So how much is the price?"-Buggy

"No need for the service, just give me the money for the materials, which is just the stainless steel. The silver, gold & gems are yours, so you don't need to pay for it."-Laice

"Oi oi oi, are you sure old man? It must be really hard to make a necklace this size."-Cricket

"It's fine, you've helped me fulfill my dream to make a masterpiece, so I'll free the service fee."-Laice

"I won't be polite then."-Buggy

Buggy then pays for the materials which are just 50 thousand Belly. After paying for the materials, the Clown Pirates & Salaki leave the island. They can't stay for too long because they need to explore all islands on West Blue.

On their way to the next island, they have a party before they part ways with Salaki. She has become their friend, so they celebrate her new life. She will return home and find a mate, so it's worth a celebration.

After partying for an hour, Salaki gets ready to leave. The Clowns also talk with her for a moment because it will be a long time before they'll meet again.

"Don't get lost on the way, alright?"-Cricket

"You need to choose the best male, he needs to be strong and possibly the best snake in your homeland."-Mantis

"I hope you get some good children."-Jude

"Shyaa, shyaa shyaa."-Salaki

"Yeah, you need to take care of yourself too. The next time we meet, we all will be a lot stronger and get big achievements. You'll keep getting big news from us if you ever read a newspaper."-Buggy

Buggy & co bump their fists and Salaki uses her tail to return the gesture.

"Alright, see you again, girl."-Buggy

"SHYYAAA!"-Salaki roar to the sky before she dives down to the sea and leaves.

"Sigh, I'll miss her."-Mantis

"We'll meet again in the future, don't worry! When we meet again, it will be after we explore the world and see all its wonder."-Buggy

"But how will we meet her again? We don't even know her homeland's location."-Mantis

"Don't worry, I have a piece of her broken scale. We can use it to make something that can lead us to her in the future."-Buggy

"Heh, I don't know that something like that is possible."-Cricket

"It is, I'll show you how when we reach Grandline. Now, let's sail to our next destination, Toroa."-Buggy

The Clown Pirates now move to Toroa. They will pursue one of their target on West Blue, finding Robin. They will search for her while keep their goal to explore West Blue.

They sail slowly and enjoy their way to Toroa. They use their time to play, train, and do whatever they want. Then on the 2nd day, they encounter a pirate ship.

"Hooh, a pirate crew, what crew are they?"-Buggy

"Let me check the bounty list."-Jude

Jude take their collection of bounty papers and read through them.

"They're Chest Hair Pirates. Their captain has the bounty of 3 million, while their vice-captain has 523 thousand belly."-Jude

"3 million and 523k? Such pitiful bounties. Also, what's with their Crew name?"-Cricket

"It is said that they're a new pirate crew that made a ruckus on a town last week. Their crew name was made because of their trait. All of them have chest hair, thin or thick. In fact, the ruckus that they made was because they were showing off their chest hair to civilians, in an annoying way."-Jude

"Hmm, they don't sound like bad people, just some weirdos. But they've become pirates, so they need to know the consequences. You guys, go fight them to train your fighting skills! Don't sink their ship, so we can rob them clean!"-Buggy

""Aye aye!""-Cricket, Mantis, & Jude

The Clown Pirates move their ship faster to chase the Chest Hair Pirates. The Chest Hair also sees the Clown's ship and gets excited. They haven't heard of Clown Pirates at all, and think they're easy prey.

When their ship gets closer, both crews start to shoot at each other with their cannons. But the Clown's cannons have longer range and stronger power. That's why the Chest Hair's ship can't damage the Clown's ship, while their own ship is broken.

"Captain, our ship won't last long if we keep getting shot like this."-Chest Hair 1

"I know, but we won't be able to run away too, they're fast."-Chest Hair Captain

"Captain, let's risk it and get closer to them so we can have close combat on the ship."-Chest Hair Vice-Captain

"I guess you're right. MOVE THE SHIP CLOSER, WE'LL ATTACK THEM ON THE DECK!"-Chest Hair Captain

""YEEEAAHH""-Chest Hair Pirates

When the enemies move their ship closer, Buggy tells his crew to stop shooting and go to fight the enemies head-on.

"Fight on their deck! I don't want to make my ship's floor dirty again."-Buggy

The 2 pirate ships get closer to each other, and the Clowns immediately jump to the enemy's ship. Buggy just stays behind to watch his crewmates fight.

When the fight broke, Buggy watch the 3's fight intently. Cricket fight just with his martial art, and not using his pistols. Mantis now uses a steel bat because she thinks she needs a weapon. Both Cricket & Mantis can easily fight the weak enemy pirates.

As for Jude, she tries to use her new spear alongside her devil fruit. But just as Buggy's predicted, she is still confused about how to use these 2 new things.

Her mistake is that she tries to use a spear before she can even understand her devil fruit rather well. So now she fights clumsily and gets hit numerous times.

'I won't tell her what she needs to do, she needs to know it herself. Luckily she is a logia, so even if she keeps getting hit, none of their attacks work.'-Buggy

Buggy keeps watching his crewmates fight, and soon they win. From 34 pirates, Cricket takes out 16, Mantis 12, and Jude just take out 6. Jude takes out a few even though she can take out all of them if she can use her devil fruit power well.

Well, even if she has good power like this, her fighting experience is very low, so it's understandable. This battle will be a good experience for her. That's also why Buggy choose these weak pirates because they're good training partners for Jude.

"Good work, now rob their ship and we'll leave after that."-Buggy

The Clowns rob the ship and only find very few valuables. These guys are new and don't have much money after all. After robbing the Chest Hair Pirates, the Clown Pirates leave and continue their way to Toroa.
