Chapter 54: Mountain Climbing

Chapter 54: Mountain Climbing

Chinjao suddenly wants to offer a deal to Buggy.

"What deal?" asks Buggy.

"How many mountains that you climb in a day?" Chinjao asks back.

"So far I only climb 5 per day. It's the 7th day now, and I've climbed 34. I need to climb one more today." Buggy answers Chinjao's question.

"How about the weight?"

"It's 100 kg now, yesterday I use 80 kg."

"Hmm, 20 kg a day, huh? Alright, this is the deal. I want you to add 20 kg for every mountain and you still need to climb 5 mountains a day. If you can do it, then I'll give you the Hashoken manual." Chinjao's offer surprise his subordinates & Buggy. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"CHINJAO-SAMA!? This is-" Chinjao's subordinate wants to talk, but Chinjao cut him off.

"I know what I'm doing," says Chinjao

"What if I can't?" asks Buggy.

"Then you will be my subordinate," says Chinjao while grinning.

Buggy thinks about it and looks at Chinjao. Then Buggy sees his crewmates come and want to asks them. But suddenly he sees Chinjao's men surround his crewmates slowly.

'This old man, he will use my crewmates to force me to accept the challenge. Tsk, this is the worst. Now I can only accept it.'

"Fine, I'll do it. But we will start tomorrow because I've climbed 4 today." Buggy tries to bargain. He will climb more mountains today if Chinjao agrees.

"Alright, we can start tomorrow. But you need to stop climbing today, so you'll have 65 mountains left. It's the perfect number for 5 mountains a day, right? You will climb for 13 days from tomorrow." Chinjao grins, he knows Buggy's plan.

Buggy clicks his tongue and can only accept it. Chinjao's group then leaves the area, so there's only the Clown Pirates now.

They ask what happened just now, so Buggy explains it to them. They get surprised and feel guilty about Buggy. If they don't come, Buggy won't need to accept the challenge.

"No, they'll still threaten me using you. This is their country, so they can do what they want here." Buggy calms his crew.

Buggy climbs the rocky cliff with quite an ease, although it's harder than yesterday with heavier weight. But it's still doable, and Buggy can finish it with quite an ease.

Then Buggy climb the next 3 mountains with 140 kg, 160kg, and 180 weights. It is harder than before, but Buggy can climb it with some effort too. Increasing the weight after just climbing one mountain is very hard.

Buggy can even climb with a 200 kg weight in the last mountain. He needs higher effort for it and climbs slower, but it's still doable for Buggy. He doesn't need to use any trick on his climbing today.

Buggy really feels his growth in this one day. So maybe this challenge isn't that bad for him. His crew & Chinjao family also get some profit from the bet. So it's good for all of them.

After he finished the climbing, Buggy eat a lot of food that Mantis cook. He needs to replenish all the energy that he spent today. He never felt so tired like this since he arrived in this world 2 years ago.

"Hehe, this is not so bad. I surpassed my limit many times in just one day. With mine & my crew's freedom at stake, I can exert more hidden power that I couldn't access before," says Buggy while looking at his hands that have bruises from his climbing.

"It's good that you can grow strong, but this is still the first day. Normally, it will be impossible to grow strong really fast. But you're quite abnormal, so we can put that aside," says Mantis

"Oi, what do you mean by that?" Buggy slap the air.

"What's your weight record, Captain?" asks Mantis, ignoring Buggy's question.

"1 ton," answers Buggy.

"Hmm, so it will be very difficult around 1 ton. Maybe it will start at 900 kg. Do you have any plan for that?" asks Mantis

"Yeah, don't worry. Also, I have another plan that needs your help, especially Dina & Robin. You guys return to the ship and tell them my plan," says Buggy.

Dina & Robin aren't here, they need to hide in the ship. So Buggy whispers his plan to Cricket, Mantis, & Jude. They all get surprised, but then they giggle sinisterly. Just what kind of plan that Buggy made?
