Chapter 158: Touring
Buggy watches as people kneel toward the CDs besides the street. He also sees some people hiding in the alleys or inside the buildings. Those people also don't want to kneel like him, or maybe they just want to avoid trouble.
There's nothing that happened after that and everyone disperses. Buggy also leaves and goes to the shipyard area. He is curious about how the ships are getting coated with the Mangrove's sap so they can dive into the sea.
Some ships are getting coated currently. He walks around to see the process and it's just like painting the ship with tree sap. But he knows that it's not easy and the coaters need to be careful or the coating will be weak.
Some ships are also getting repaired before they go to Fishman Island. Even with the bubble sap coating, if their ship is damaged, they won't be able to sail safely. Seeing it makes Buggy sigh as he remembers Little Hunter's bad condition.
His ship doesn't have much damage from enemies attacks. But most of its damages are from Grandline's bad weather. If they didn't enter Grandline, Little Hunter will not get that much damage.
"Sigh, every ship has its limit, even if it's made of Adam Wood. The wood just makes it a lot tougher than other ships. So what happened to Little Hunter is normal. I just need to use it to the limit," says Buggy.
After walking around the shipyard, Buggy goes to the Tourist Zone. There are many tourists on Sabaody and they come from many places, even from Blues. This location has a lot of attractions that the tourists can enjoy.
Buggy doesn't stay there for too long and goes to the Amusement Park. This place is the most famous location on Sabaody Archipelago. Most people come here to enjoy the Amusement Park even though it's a dangerous place.
They might lose their freedom here if slave traders catch them or CDs get interested in them. But they still come here even when they know that risk. Although some people are ignorant about it and think that this is a fun place.
When he arrived in the Amusement Park, Buggy is impressed by it, but not that much. Except for the use of bubbles for most of the attractions here, there's nothing that impressed him. They just look like big Amusement Park in his old world.
"Well, surely I never see another Amusement Park like this in this world. So it must be very interesting for this world's inhabitants. I haven't played in Amusement Park for a few years though, so maybe I'll try it. But it will be very depressing if I enjoy it alone, so maybe later when all my crewmates are here," says Buggy.
Buggy leaves the Amusement Park and goes back to his ship. The only places left are the Hotel area and Marine Base. There's no need to find a hotel and he isn't crazy enough to go to the Marine Base.
He reaches his ship's location after 23 minutes of a slow walk. There are many unconscious people around his ship and he knows the reason. They must've tried to attack his ship but got beaten by Cricket & Mantis. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"Oh, Captain, you've returned. Have you met with the Dark King?" asks Cricket.
"Hmm, these guys aren't strong enough to be threats for me. Haki will get stronger if it is used against strong opponents, after all. But I can't be picky, they're still good for training my skills," says Buggy as he sits above a stack of defeated enemies.
The sun is setting behind him right at that moment and the silhouette of him sitting on a mountain of people is really good. Someone thinks like that and he is seeing it coincidentally. Coincidentally too, he is Deon who has just returned and brings a camera.
Deon takes the picture of this good sight a few times. Of course, Buggy sees him and just ignores the Cameleon dude. He is just taking pictures, so there's no need to stop him. Besides, Buggy also wants to see the result.
"How's your day? What did you get?" asks Buggy without chit-chatting.
"Well, it's a good day and I get a few things. Just like what Mrs. Shakky said, the Red Hair Pirates are here. Then this might pique your interest too because a renowned swordsman is here," says Deon.
"Oh, is it him?" asks Buggy interestedly.
Deon scratches his head and says, "Well, I don't know who is in your mind, but maybe he is the one that you think of. 'Hawk Eyes', Dracule Mihawk."
