Chapter 157: Dark King

Chapter 157: Dark King

Buggy massages his temples when he sees Deon acts like a fanboy after seeing Rayleigh.

"What are you doing, rainbow hair?" asks Buggy.

"Ca-Captain, is he the real Dark King?" asks Deon back.

"No, he is just an imagination. Of course, he is real. I've told you why we come here, right? I think you really need a pair of new ears, and brain if we can find a good one," says Buggy jokingly.

Deon gets more amazed and immediately takes a paper and a marker. He approaches Rayleigh and gives those in a very polite manner.

"Ca-Can I get your sign, please?" asks Deon very politely.

Rayleigh is stunned by this and looks at Buggy who is still massaging his temple. Buggy doesn't care anymore and just leaves it to Rayleigh. Rayleigh raises an eyebrow and just gives Deon his signature.

Deon gets very happy and celebrates it alone in the corner. Shakky just laughs seeing that and makes Buggy gets more embarrassed. This is a plot twist that he'll never guess at all.

"Well, let's just ignore that and talk about something else. Have Shanks reached this place?" asks Buggy.

"Yes, Red Hair Shanks has arrived yesterday. But I don't know his location," says Shakky.

"Really? Why don't you tell me about it, Shakky?" asks Rayleigh.

"I don't know. Maybe if you go home every day and not just when you need money for gambling, then I will tell you about it," says Shakky.

Rayleigh & Buggy sweatdrop at her answer, but she is not wrong.

"So Shanks is here. He should catch the news about me soon," says Buggy while sipping his drink.

"Of course, both of you are big sensations in Pirate World. So your arrival in Sabaody will surely gather a lot of attention. 2 of Roger Pirates' apprentices are reuniting here. And both of you have very high bounties, so the news will spread like wildfire. Even Marine HQ will get alerted," says Shakky.

"But I'm sure they won't do anything with both of you being here too," says Buggy while smirking.

"Ray-san is one case, but I have retired for a long time," says Shakky.

"Yeah, yeah, retired. Anyway, Rayleigh-san, I've visited Gaban-san on West Blue," says Buggy.

"Oh, how was he?" asks Rayleigh.

"Good like usual, you need to worry more about those who try to mess with him. He should be even better now after I left a big chance for him," says Buggy while smirking.

"Hehe, sneaky young man," says Shakky as she gives the Vivre Card to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh takes it and sighs before giving it back to Shakky so she can keep it.

"Every island, huh? That means he'll explore even the Calm Belt, Sky, and also the last island. Even we didn't explore every island in the past. He still holds a grudge because we didn't take him there, huh?" says Rayleigh.

"Hehehe, such an interesting young man," says Shakky.

"Yeah, and an irritating one," says Rayleigh tiredly.

After Buggy & Deon leave the bar, they go to explore the Archipelago. Buggy orders Deon to gather information like usual while still being careful. Maybe a CD will like his rainbow hair, after all.

They split and Buggy walks alone in the Lawless Area. He goes to the center where CD often appears as there are Human Shops in Groove 1-10. It's not that he wants to meet them, but he's very curious about their appearance.

He only knows CDs from the series, which are pictures. So he is curious about their real appearances. Are they as ugly & irritating as what gets drawn in the manga & anime or do they actually look normal?

As he walks in the Lawless Area, he is getting attacked again by some people. He thoughts they are just bounty hunters, but even slave traders are attacking him too. Pirates with high bounty have a high price too, after all.

He defeats them easily and robs them clean as compensation for troubling him. These guys are quite rich so Buggy can get some good sum from them. He even freed some captured people that almost get sold as slaves in the process.

"What a good day to get profit and be a good samaritan," says Buggy as he walks aimlessly.

After walking around for an hour, he finally reaches Groove 1. He hears some commotion and goes there stealthily. It won't be a good thing to hear a commotion in Groove 1, so he needs to be careful.

Buggy climbs a building from the back and gets on the rooftop. Then he goes to the front to see the commotion. Just like what he thought, it's caused by Celestial Dragons. One of them has one of their slaves running away, making the collar explodes, killing the slave.

"What an ugly sight," comments Buggy unhappily.
