Chapter 28: Goddamn Cold Place

Chapter 28: Goddamn Cold Place

The Clowns continue their exploration on North Pole. They haven't find anything except ice, snow, and wolves. They've captured some wolves and make the wolves pull their sled, so now they can move faster.

"Hmm, nothing founded. Is there really no human here?"-Buggy

"Maybe there are people come every once in a while, but i doubt that anyone would want to live here permanently."-Mantis

"Don't underestimate human's adaptation ability! We can almost live everywhere and adapted to the environment fast."-Buggy

The Clowns suddenly come accross a big valley. They check it and surprised to see so many Super Penguins there.

'Super Penguins, so Aokiji get his Penguin companion here? Or maybe there are some on South Pole too?'-Buggy

"Aww, so cute."-Mantis

"Grrrr!"-Alpha wolf

"Hmm, what's wrong wolf?"-Buggy

"Grrr! Warf!"-Alpha wolf

"You want to hunt them?"-Buggy

The alpha wolf nod, but Mantis immediately forbid it. She can't let the cute penguins get killed & eaten in front of her, even if that's the normal food chain here. She got into an argument with the wolves even though they speak different language.

"Hmm? Hey, look! There's a big white seal."-Cricket

They all look at where Cricket pointed at, and see a very big white seal. Super Penguins are big already, but this seal is even bigger. The seal is alone, but it attack the Super Penguins without fear. The wolves seem wary of the big white seal now.

"Hee, even though i'm curious of Penguin meat's taste, but seeing that Super Snow Seal really make me hungry."-Buggy

"CAPTAIN!? YOU CAN'T EAT THE PENGUINS!"-Mantis protest

"Well, aren't you curious too as a cheff?"-Buggy

"I-i am, nonono, i'm not, i can't cook such cute things."-Mantis defeat her cheff side

"Then forget about the penguins, how about we try a seal's meat?"-Buggy

"Alright, let's go save the penguins."-Mantis The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"I just want to try it's meat though, but whatever. How about you wolves?"-Buggy

"Grrr...."-Alpha wolf seem hesitant

"I know it's stronger than you guys, but don't forget that we're here too. Don't you want to taste that guy's meat? Don't you want to take revenge on them who took your food many times?"-Buggy

"Warf Warf?"-Alpha

"Of course you'll get the meat, we won't eat them all."-Buggy

"Of course."-Cricket

"Did you really need to ask that?"-Mantis

"Well, i'm asking because i can help you to get stronger if you want."-Buggy

"Of course we want it."-Cricket

"Alright, i'll demonstrate it to you first."-Buggy

Buggy then ask Cricket to shoot him multiple times in close range. Cricket is sceptical, but still do it, it's Captain's order. Buggy then use observation haki to dodge all the bullets that Cricket shot while closing his eyes. Of course this make Cricket & Mantis widen their eyes in surprise.

"H-how-"-Mantis

"I'm not done yet, shoot again!"-Buggy

Cricket nod and start shooting his pistols. Now Buggy didn't dodge, but he let the bullets hit him. His skin turn metallic black on the location where the bullets hit, and it protect his body. The 2 are even more susprised now, because they know it is not Buggy's devil fruit ability.

"This power is called haki, a power used by many strong individuals. And by strong, i mean very strong individuals. Haki is very rare even on the first half of Grandline, and almost not used on Blues. The place where haki is used the most is on the 2nd half of Grandline, the last sea, New World."-Buggy

"Then-"-Cricket

"If we train it now, we will have a very good start."-Buggy

Buggy then explain to them about the types of haki and their usage. Cricket & Mantis are very excited now, because this haki is really good. But they can't train it now, because they're in an exploration. They will train it after leaving this place. Buggy also just want to introduce haki to them, and he'll train them later.

'Hmm, i need to use haki more often now to train it. I can't let my crew members surpass me because i rarely use it.'-Buggy

Soon after their discussion, the wolves really return. These wolves know it will be better to tag along with the Clowns. They can get bigger prey with less effort, and none of them get injured or die.

They continue their exploration and didn't find anything noteworthy. The temperature also keep getting colder the further they go. It have reached -90 degree Celsius now, and they've felt their bones cracking. They're not used to this kind of extreme cold.

"C-C-C-Ca-Captain, i-i d-don't think w-we can go...a-any further."-Cricket say with clattering teeth

"H-he-'s r-right. E-even the w-wolves c-can't stand it."-Mantis also clattering

Even the wolves that born and live here their whole life are shivering in cold now. It will be dangerous if they go any further, so Buggy decide to pull back now. Their body have almost covered in ice, so it's not wise to continue further.

"D-damn, j-just w-www-wait for my re-return y-you g-goddamn cold place."-Buggy

The wolves immediately pull them to leave the cold area. Buggy haven't found the coldest temperature here, but it's not worth risking their life. At least he have tried, and he will try again in the future. And with that, their attempt to measure the coldest temperature on North Pole, have failed.
