Chapter 94: Barsa Archipelago
The Clowns are at a loss for word after seeing so many marines' skeletons in the battleship. Everyone in this battleship had died a long time ago until their corpses turned into skeletons.
Jude immediately runs off because she feels nauseous. Buggy orders Mantis to help Jude, while he will investigate this with Cricket & Manba. Mantis nods and she chases Jude. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
"Manba, do you know the time of their death? Maybe even the cause?" asks Buggy.
Manba approaches the skeletons and checks them.
"They've died around 10 years ago. The cause is most likely a battle. Their skeletons have many broken parts that aren't caused by decomposition, but by physical traumas," says Manba while looking at a skeleton with a broken skull.
"Hmm, Manba, go to the ship Captain's room again to check if there's a journal or something. Cricket & I will go to check the other rooms," says Buggy.
Manba & Cricket nod, then they split to do their tasks. Buggy & Cricket go alone to cover the ship's rooms faster. They check the other rooms and there's nothing except skeletons in the previous room.
"You find something, Cricket?" asks Buggy.
"No, there's nothing at all, just empty rooms," says Cricket.
"How about you, Manba?" asks Buggy.
"I found a journal in the desk," says Manba while giving an old journal to Buggy.
Buggy opens the latest page that has writing on it. He tries to find the cause for all of this and finally finds it. Buggy read the journal and the others are listening.
In short, this Marine unit was lost against a Pirate Crew in a naval battle. The pirates massacred their unit but they let the Rear-Admirals & some officers lived after giving them grave injuries.
The Pirate Crew then took everything from their ship. They took supplies, weapons, Log Pose, Eternal Poses, denden mushi, etc. They even break their ship's steer & masts to make the ones who lived have 0 chance of survival.
The ones who live couldn't do anything except wait for their death. So they gathered their fallen comrades' corpses in a room, then they wait for their own death.
"Such cruelty," says Manba in anger.
"Something cruel like this is more common than you think. You need to prepare yourself because you will see something crueler than this in the future," says Buggy to warn his crew.
"They fight just because their hair-styles are different?" says Mantis in disbelief.
"It's just the trigger. They started to fight because they insulted each other's hairstyles. Besides, the Baldy Pirates are bald naturally, so they don't have any choice but to be bald. Seeing people with long hair grouping together must've hurt their heart," says a man so suddenly.
The Clowns look at the man who suddenly answers Mantis' question. It's a middle-aged man with a big body and his face is full of scars. He must've got a lot of experience in his life.
"That's still a stupid reason," says Mantis.
"Haha, it sure is. But everyone has their own pride even if it's stupid for other people," says the man.
The battle gets more heated up as both crew's Captains start to fight now. Both of them have bounties, so the audience expects a good fight from them.
'Shiny Head' Ro is a man with a bounty of 22 million bellies. His opponent, 'Girly Hair' Fliss has a bounty of 24 million bellies. Their bounties aren't that far apart, so they should have similar strengths.
Ro uses a straight sword as his weapon, while Fliss uses an axe. They started to fight and their weapons clash. The clash creates a rather loud sound, meaning that both of them are quite strong.
Ro & Fliss start to exchange their strongest blows. It seems interesting for everyone else, but not for the Clowns. Save for Ruff who has never seen a battle like this before.
For the Clowns, this battle is too slow and weak. Both Ro & Fliss are stronger than average pirates, but the Clowns can defeat them in a second. The battle just looks like a child play for the Clowns.
Buggy suddenly sighs and says, "This level of power won't be enough to protect them in Grandline."
