Chapter 58: Escaping Kano Country
Chinjao approaches Buggy who lay on the ground after climbing the last mountain.
"Yahoho, I never thought that you would succeed to climb all 99 mountains." Chinjao laughs even though he is really mad right now because he lose. But he needs to save his image in front of so many people.
"My hard work has been paid off I guess," says Buggy while smirking.
Chinjao clicks his tongue inwardly, but he still keeps his friendly expression. "Then as we have agreed before this challenge started, I will give you this Hasshoken manual."
Chinjao gives Buggy the Hasshoken manual. It is quite thick and Buggy checks it fast to see if it's real. He's surprised to see that it's real and complete. He thought Chinjao will give him an incomplete or fake manual.
"Yahoho, I won't give you uncomplete or even fake manual. I am true to my words," says Chinjao with a 'friendly' expression.
Buggy looks at the citizens around them and smirk. 'If there are no people here, he will just beat me while I'm weak and won't give a shit about the deal. These people have really saved me this time.'
"Then, I will return to my ship and rest now. I feel very tired after hours of climbing up & down the mountains," says Buggy while standing up.
"Yahoho, you're right, you need to rest. Rest is also important to grow strong," says Chinjao with his fake smile.
Buggy grins and takes his winning prize from his bet first before going back to his ship. Buggy & his crew have betting for his win since the beginning. Now they already get a lot of money from their bet. This challenge is really not bad.
When Buggy leaves, the smile on Chinjao's face is gone. He order his men to prepare their ships and troops. They will wait for The Clown pirates to leave the island and attack them on the sea.
Buggy arrives on his ship after some minutes of walking. His crew has waited for him and prepared everything. They are ready to sail anytime and leave this island. nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Buggy throw the money bag to the floor and asked," Everything's ready?"
"Aye! We can sail anytime," answers Cricket.
"Good, let's sail now!" Buggy orders them.
They all answer," AYE AYE!"
"Mantis, I'm hungry," says Buggy.
Happo Navy has better ships with better technology, that's obvious. Their navigators are experienced too and have gone to Grandline. So their navigational skills are top-notch.
The Clowns' ship, Little Hunter, can't move faster than this. Little Hunter was just a ship that Buggy stole from a pirate crew that he hunted in the past. That's also why he named it Little Hunter because he was just a little bounty hunter at that time.
The Happo Navy keeps getting closer and Little Hunter almost reaches their firing rate. So Buggy gets on the railing while gulping down his drink. He looks at the 5 incoming ships and Chinjao.
"Don Chinjao, don't you feel ashamed by this? Someone with a bounty of more than 500 million chases a crew with less than 100 million worth of bounty using 5 ships. Have you became that weak after Garp turned your head into a potato?" asks Buggy while smirking.
Don Chinjao fumed in anger hearing Buggy's words. "How dare a small-time pirate like you, insult me? You're just a brat that hasn't even grow his hair below."
"Hah! But this brat has won against you in your own game," says Buggy.
"That was just a game. If you want to prove your power, then show it through battle. Pirates need to be strong in battle, not just game," says Chinjao while clenching his fists.
"That's not just a game, that's training. So I will show you what I got from that training," says Buggy while unsheathing his white sword, Pollux.
"Thanks to your game, I've understood my swords even more now," says Buggy while holding his Pollux.
Since he climb with more than 1000 kg weight, Buggy keep using his swords. When he used his swords, he flow his haki to them. His usage of haki doesn't just strengthen his haki, but he also gets something with the swords.
Through that haki flow and his continuous usage of the twin swords, Buggy has created a connection with them. He can feel the swords like they're his limbs, they're parts of his body.
Then because of that connection, now Buggy knows how to utilize their devil fruit power. This is something that he has tried to find out since he found them.
Buggy points his sword at Chinjao and says, "With this newly founded power, I will destroy your pride."
