Chapter 189: Leaving

Chapter 189: Leaving

After defeating John Giant, Buggy returns to his ship. And he is also taking John's giant sword back with him. The sword is massive and must've been made of good materials. So he gets attracted by it and decided to take it.

'I will check it in a swordsmith and if the materials are good then we can turn it into good weapons for the crew members. If it's not enough then we can just sell it to buy good weapons,' thinks Buggy.

Weapons are important for pirates like them. They are their lives & deaths. Having good weapons can change a lot of things in their line of work. So Buggy will make sure they have good weapons before they enter New World.

Palu & Cricket also seem to have the same thinking as him. Cricket has ordered their men to take every valuable that the Marine soldiers have, including their weapons. On the other hand, Palu has taken Lacroix's sword remains after he broke it.

Magnus didn't take Ronse's Axe and forbid anyone from taking it. He says that they fought as warriors and haven't made an agreement to take the Axe. So he won't take it because that's unhonorable.

Buggy sighs and says, "It seems he hasn't gotten used to being a pirate. But whatever, it's his fight, he can do whatever he wants."

"What should we do now, Captain?" asks Jude. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

"We'll leave, obviously. There's nothing else to do here, anyway. Has the log changed?" asks Buggy.

"Yes, right when the war still went on," says Jude.

"Alright, let's go to the next island," says Buggy.

"AYE AYE!" replies everyone.

The Clowns set off to the next island, leaving the defeated Marine soldiers who only have their underwear now. They even took the soldiers' clothes, not just their weapons. There aren't many valuables, after all, so the clothes will do.

The crew then eat to recover the energy that they lost in the war. Manba also gives them some supplements to make their injuries recover faster. All of them only have minor injuries, so they will recover fast.

"It's good that we didn't lose anyone and they all just got some scratches," says Palu.

"Yeah, this means that our men are strong even against some elites from Marine," says Cricket.

"Elites? Those guys are?" asks Enel with a disbelief tone.

"Yeah, they are considered as elite soldiers. Being able to enter a Vice Admiral unit means that they are stronger than most people in their ranks," says Deon.

"So this advanced level will increase our attack power but also consume more energy?" asks Cricket.

"Yeah, that's why you need to keep training your Armament Haki every day. Use them every day until you run out of Haki. Then your Haki energy will increase after you recover," says Buggy.

"We know, that's what you always said. But it isn't that easy to achieve, right?" asks Palu.

"Of course, it won't. But you can at least increase your Haki energy reserve and also increase your Haki's hardness. Our enemies in New World are at a different level from those in Paradise. We might fight for days there, so you will need to use a lot of energy. You can't afford to run out of Haki at crucial times or you'll get killed," says Buggy seriously.

Cricket & Palu get serious too and they nod in agreement. They are still trying to improve their Observation Haki to reach the advanced level. But Buggy tells them that leveling up their Armament is more important for now.

It's also easier to do than getting future sight of Observation Haki. The proof is that many strong samurais in Wano can use advanced level Armament. As for future sight, only a few people are known to have it in the series.

The crew finally recover after a day and they start training again. They all know that if they still have a hard time fighting those Marine soldiers, then it will be harder in New World. None of them want to lose their lives, so they need to be stronger.

Buggy really likes their hard work and they work even harder after he gives them new weapons. Now Buggy is sure that his crew can be very strong because they are hard workers. Even though most of them have low talents, he believes that hard work is better than talent.

"I can't wait for the future. If they can keep this up for 20 years, then we will be able to wreak Havoc in Summit War. I need to make sure they keep getting stronger for the next 20 years," says Buggy while watching his crew trains.

The future seems bright in Buggy's eyes. But that will happen if they can get past their biggest obstacle right now, Kaido.
