Chapter 171: Jaya Island
It takes 2 days for the Clowns to reach the last 2nd island from Little Garden. This is a small island with a small town on it. But this town is quite dangerous because it's full of lawless people like pirates, bandits, etc, just like Mock Town on Jaya.
It's not a problem for the Clowns though because these people are too weak for them. There's no real threat on this island, so they just enjoy their visit like tourists. Some idiots try to mess with them though and get beaten miserably.
The Clowns try to get some new recruits on this island, but it's hard to find what they wanted. Luckily, they can find 5 new members here, which are composed of 2 men and 3 women. The men enter Cricket's team, 2 women enter Brook's team as musicians, while the last woman enters Mantis's team.
Brook is very happy to get 2 team members, especially because they are women. He tries to ask them to show their panties, but Mantis beats him up before it happens. She can't let him scare the new members more than he has with his scary appearance.
They stay for 2 days before leaving the island and go to their next destination, Jaya Island. Cricket is very anticipating this because this will be his time to finish his business with Norland. This is his battle with the man who has ruined his life.
The crew finally arrived on Jaya after 5 days of sailing. Just like the Straw Hats, they get their log pose pointed to the sky. The new members are confused and still can't believe the Sky Island's existence even after Buggy explained it.
"Well, it doesn't matter whether you believe it now or not. The best way to prove it is by going there. For now, we will go to the town. But we can't stay for too long because we need to prepare our ship. So we will go to an empty coast later," says Buggy.
"Hmm? Will we make a hot-air balloon again?" asks Palu.
"No, this will be different. You will like this method more," says Buggy while grinning.
The Clowns have bad feelings about this, but they can't say anything. Buggy has told them that he has done this in the past while he was still an apprentice. So they can only believe in him to reach Sky Island.
"Don't get too worried like that. We will use the same method as what the Pirate King's crew used. Doesn't that make you excited?" asks Buggy.
The crew finally realized that they will follow the Pirate King's footsteps now. It makes them very excited and their spirit lifted.
"Sigh, they're so simple," says Mantis.
"That's how boys are," says Manba.
"You are a boy too," says Jude.
"I know, that's why I said that," says Manba. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
The 2 girls sweatdrop but decide to let it be and just look at the simple boys. They might be simple, but they are still precious crewmates. Also, days will be too boring without these simple-minded boys.
"Why are you letting him go?" asks Enel as he enters the restaurant.
"Because you will take care of him," says Buggy while smirking.
"Tch, giving me more jobs," says Enel as he sits beside Ruff.
"You won't have more jobs if you just let that guy leave," says Ruff as he munches his food.
"That will just ruin our crew's name because a no-name is safe after attacking our Captain. Well, forget about that, you won't care about it too. Anyway, Cricket asked me to tell you that he will go to the other side first. He said he wants to check the sea," says Enel as he takes Jude's drink.
"ENEL! THAT'S MY DRINK," says Jude 'angrily'.
"Heh, take it if you can, shorty," mocks Enel.
Jude gets pissed and suddenly uses her devil fruit and so is Enel. But then Buggy knocks their head and stops them because they disturb his meal. They stop using their devil fruit but still do a petty fight using forks. These 2 are like siblings now, logia siblings.
"Sigh, he wants to find if the city really sunk, huh? Let him do what he wants if it makes him satisfied. And I will be satisfied if you really stop," says Buggy while looking at the logia siblings intimidatingly.
The 2 shivers and finally stop their fight for real. They can finally have a normal meal now.
