Chapter 97: Pettiness

Chapter 97: Pettiness

Buggy sells the loots in the town and gets some money. It's not much, considering the weapons' qualities are low, and they already have some defects. But he still gets 330,000 belly because there's a lot of them.

"Too bad that those swords are not in good condition. I can get around 1 million if they are still good despite their low qualities. But well, it's free money, so it's not that bad," says Buggy happily.

Buggy walks on the street while looking around. He has visited all the small islands in this Archipelago and doesn't find anything special. The only thing that makes him interested in this Archipelago is because it was made of one big land.

Barsa Archipelago is similar to Long Ring Long Land island. It is made of one big island that gets its lower ground covered by seawater. But Barsa Archipelago's lower ground always sinks and never resurfaces like Long Ring Long Land island.

However, this Archipelago is still one big island. That's why it only had one magnetic field and Log Pose always points to this place like it's one island, not many islands.

"Sigh, too bad I can't swim. I'm very curious of the water area that covers this Archipelago," says Buggy with a depressed tone.

As he walks while getting depressed by his inability to swim, Buggy hears Mantis & Cricket's laugh. He looks around and sees the 2 of them are having a sweet time on the sea.

Cricket is swimming with Mantis standing on his back. Cricket swim quite fast and it makes Mantis looks like she is surfing on a human board. They laugh happily like a stupid high school couple. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Buggy has a dark face and a dark aura comes out from his body. They play on the water right when he gets depressed by his inability to swim again. He is very jealous of them because they can swim and play on the water.

"Bastards, I won't give them any pocket money on the next island," says Buggy with an angry tone.

Mantis realizes that Buggy is looking at them from the beach. She doesn't know what Buggy is thinking and assume that he is just walking around. Without any thought, Mantis waves her hands at Buggy and smiles happily.

Buggy gets pissed and has a big tickmark appear on his forehead. He stomps his foot strongly to the ground and makes the sand fly around. After that, Buggy turns around and leaves while grumbling angrily.

"Hmm, he's leaving?" asks Mantis curiously.

"What's wrong?" asks Cricket who doesn't know anything.

"Ah, it's Captain. I see him on the beach, so I wave my hands. But suddenly he stomped his foot to the ground and leaves," says Mantis.

"Hmm, maybe he's forgetting something," says Cricket without any suspicion.

Mantis thinks it's possible, so they just ignore it now. They are having fun currently, so they don't want to think about difficult things. Buggy can take care of himself, so they don't need to worry about him.

They need to be worried though because Buggy is not in good mood now. He starts to think like a petty person and wants to plot against them by not giving them pocket money on the next island.

"Hehe, how dare you make me feel miserable. Even if you're my first mate and my chef, I won't forgive you for making me feel like this. You will feel my rage after this, HAHA!" says Buggy with a crazy tone.

"You sound happy, Captain," says Manba so suddenly while Buggy laugh.

Buggy flinches because Manba suddenly appears in front of him. Manba brings a big bag on his back. It is filled with the medical stuff that he bought on this island.

"Damn, they're late. Do they want to make us die of hunger?" complains Ruff when they gather in the kitchen.

"It's impossible. Mantis always returns on time because she always thinks of our stomach," says Jude.

"Then why haven't they returned yet?" asks Ruff.

"Maybe they can't find the island yet. Did you write the location correctly, Palu?" asks Manba.

"Of course. I even drew a rough map to show them the location. Besides, there's no other ship on the empty islands, so they should find it easily," says Palu.

Buggy is very nervous right now. He forgot that they can't eat without Mantis here. It's a big miscalculation on his side.

"Sigh, maybe we shouldn't leave without them before," says Jude.

"Well, Captain said that it's okay, so I thought it will be fine," says Palu.

"I-I thought they will find this place easily too. This Archipelago isn't that big, after all," says Buggy nervously.

*BAM*

The kitchen door suddenly gets open and Mantis is standing there with a very pissed expression.

"So it's you, Captain," says Mantis with a pissed tone.

"I don't know why you decided to leave us there, but it doesn't matter now. There's no dinner for you," says Mantis with a murderous expression.

Buggy can only gulp his saliva and says, "Yes."

He has made a very fatal mistake today and he will pay the price.
