Chapter 120: Hunting Plan
After the party, Ruff and Deon leave to resume their Dials research. The others also leave except for Palu who stays to fill the gap of 26 years with his parents. The three of them need time to know each other better, so the Clowns leave them alone.
The Clowns have an agenda now and that is about the Half-Wings Pirates. They need to find those guys because Palu wants to take his parents' money back. Those guys have taken their money but didn't do anything worthy of it.
Buggy gives his crew some instructions before they split. They will go in pairs except for Buggy who will go alone. Cricket is paired with Mantis, while Jude is paired with Manba.
As for Buggy, he will go to God's Palace to make sure that there won't be any problem later. The government here supports the Half-Wings in a way because those guys are their first line of defense against Blue Sea Pirates.
The Birka's God even asked Buggy to not destroy that crew because he knows Buggy's strength. He agreed to it and unless those guys attack first, then Buggy won't attack them. But now, he needs to attack them first because they've made a problem with his friend's family.
"Let's see if the government wants to protect some ruffians instead of their normal citizens' interest," says Buggy while grinning.
As Buggy walks to God's Palace, someone is approaching him from behind, it's Enel. Of course, Buggy notices Enel's presence and stops.
"Do you want to join now?" asks Buggy without turning around. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
"I haven't decided yet. I just want to know why you want to go to that place again," says Enel.
"Oh, good timing, you can join me if you're curious. I just have something to do there and you might be interested in this," says Buggy.
"Hmm, sure," says Enel.
Enel joins Buggy to the God's Palace without knowing what they'll do there. But with Enel here, Buggy won't need to do too many things if something happens. This guy can just electrocute everyone there, hopefully.
'I hope his lightning range is big enough with his current mastery,' thinks Buggy.
Meanwhile, Cricket & Mantis are asking around for their target's location. Of course, they don't ask random people like Palu & Ruff. Both of them have a lot of experience at information gathering.
Even so, it's not easy for them to find their target's location. The people here aren't too welcome with outsiders, especially Blue Sea people like them. So they can't get any clear answer from the natives.
"Should I use force?" asks Cricket.
"Better not, it will make another problem," says Mantis.
"But it won't be a problem if I use it on those guys, right?" asks Cricket while pointing at 2 thugs who try to flirt with a girl.
"Alright, just don't kill them," says Mantis.
Cricket & Mantis then approach the thugs from behind. The girl who gets scared by the thugs sees Cricket's shadow and gets more scared. Then Cricket grabs the thugs' back collar and lifts them, scaring the 2 teenage thugs.
"You won't get any girl like that. Come with me and I'll teach you the proper way," says Cricket while smirking.
"I wouldn't join if he's like them. Anyway, do you guys know where they are now?" asks Cricket.
"W-we don't know. But usually, they will sail around on the White Sea to find any ship that comes from the Blue Sea," says Thug A.
"Do they return to the island after sailing around on the White Sea?" asks Mantis.
"T-They usually return before night," says Thug B.
"Good boys, that's good info. Now go back to your parents and don't make another trouble. You won't know if the next people who stop you will be as kind as us," says Cricket.
"YES!" says the thug while saluting before running off.
"Sigh, teenagers," says Cricket.
"You're just like them when you're their age. You even ran away from your home," says Mantis to tease Cricket.
"Ugh, that's why I don't want them to be like me. I will go home after we find what we wanted," says Cricket.
"You should. I want to see my future In-Laws too, my Knight," says Mantis with a soft smile.
"Sure, my Princess," says Cricket with a smile too while caressing Mantis' face.
*BLEGH*
Suddenly, a puking sound is heard from behind them. They look back and see Ruff is puking and Deon has a cringed expression. Crickey & Mantis get stunned and pause seeing them.
Both guys were passing by and saw the couple was interrogating the thugs. They stop by to find out what happened and just wanted to leave after the thugs left. But then the couple started to flirt and call each other with cringe nicknames. It made Ruff puke & Deon cringed.
"Idiot couple," says Deon with a cringed expression.
