Chapter 65: Crossing Port

Chapter 65: Crossing Port

The Clown Pirates have defeated Ley's Happo Navy unit. Buggy wants to orders his crewmates to loot Ley's ship. But they're exhausted, so he asks Dina & Robin to help him because they didn't fight.

They rob Ley's ship fast before Happo Navy reinforcement comes. They don't check what they find and just take anything that they think to have value. The Clown pirates immediately leave the area after looting all valuables.

"Dina, Robin, take care of them! I will handle the ship," Buggy orders Dina & Robin to treat the others' injuries.

Dina & Robin nod before taking some medkits to treat Cricket, Mantis, & Jude. Buggy takes the steer and follows the map to the Crossing Port. He's glad that he learned some navigational skills.

A few hours after The Clown Pirates left, Chinjao's fleet find Ley's ship. Ley's crew has called them and asked for help. Chinjao's crew immediately saved & treat Ley's injured crew.

Chinjao checks on Ley who is getting treated by the doctor. Chinjao looks at the big wound on Ley's torso and the wounds on Ley's hands that almost cut them. Ley opens his eyes and looks at Chinjao.

"Uncle Chinjao," says Ley.

"What do you think of him?" asks Chinjao.

".... He is different. He could defeat me easily if he use everything he has. It is proved by his last attack that he could use since the beginning. But he didn't do it and fight me with his basic skills & haki. I don't know what his intention was," says Ley weakly. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

"He was using you as his training partner. If he just used his basic skills & haki, then he used you to train those. But most likely, he wants to train his crewmates. They're far weaker than him, so I guess he wants to prepare them for Grandline. He is quite calculative & cautious," says Chinjao.

"Where are they right now?" asks Ley.

"Most likely on the Crossing Port. It's been a few hours after they left, after all," says Chinjao.

Ley looks down and bites his lower lips, "Am I really not good enough to be a big figure in this era?"

"I don't know, that's for you to decide," says Chinjao while walking away.

Chinjao doesn't say anything else because he knows that Ley feels very bad right now. He got defeated by Buggy, someone that he looked down on before. Furthermore, Buggy is 17 y.o, 11 years younger than Ley who is 28 y.o now.

If Ley can't overcome this and give up, then he'll never become anyone. Chinjao never planned to pass his title to Ley. But Ley is still his nephew, so he wants Ley to move on and be stronger. That way, his Happo Navy will be stronger too.

"Don, what should we do now?" asks Chinjao's subordinate.

"Hmm, maybe they search for a specific person," guess Jude.

"I'll try to find out about it. It might become dangerous if we don't know anything. We might get into trouble," says Buggy.

Buggy then leaves the ship after dinner and goes to find information. He goes to a bar and buys a drink while eavesdropping on people's conversations. Just like what he thought, many of them talk about the Marine.

Buggy hears their talk and finally finds what he searches for. The information that he gets is rather surprising too. 'Golden Lion' Shiki has escaped from Impel Down.

'So it's the time already,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy knows Shiki will escape this year, but doesn't know the exact time. Furthermore, there's no news about it at all. The Marine & WG want to hide it from the masses. It will be a big sensation if people know that someone can escape from Impel Down.

The Marine & WG want to locate Shiki's location. So they send their men to find Shiki in many places, including this port. It's not a problem for his crew, so Buggy gets relieved.

He just needs Dina & Robin to hide and not exposing anything. The WG will even break the rules in this port just to catch Robin. So Robin's position shouldn't be known at all.

'Golden Lion, huh? What should I do to him? My presence might have changed a lot of things. So I can't use my knowledge of how the timeline will run. Hmm, well, if he comes after me, then I will fight him back & defeat him. He's nothing compared to Captain Roger,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy returns to his ship and enters it normally. He informs the others of what he found and they get relieved too. They're worried that it has a connection with Robin's position now.

A few hours later, their crossing schedule finally come. They all stay in their ship when it's pulled up to cross the Red Line. It takes an hour for their ship to cross, faster than the port on East Blue.

Buggy look at the vast sea of South Blue and smiles. "South Blue, here I come."
