Chapter 192: Love Drama

Chapter 192: Love Drama

Buggy & Cricket put their hands on Iceburg's shoulder while grinning mischievously.

"Well, well, well, Iceburg-kun. You look very tired after running from your workplace. Are you alright?" asks Buggy with a teasing tone.

"Captain, he was running because he was worried about Dela-chan. So seeing her alright must make him very relieved. He must be fine right now after confirming her safety," says Cricket with a teasing tone too.

"Ooh, so that's the case, you were very worried about her, huh? I'm sorry Iceburg-kun, our appearance here has made you worried about her safety. We are such sinful pirates, after all," says Buggy overdramatically.

Buggy & Cricket keep teasing Iceburg and make him very embarrassed. Jude & Mantis hold their laugh while Dela doesn't understand what happened. Dela's parents can only sigh seeing this and look at their daughter helplessly.

Everyone here except Dela knows that Iceburg has a feeling for her. It is very clear from his action just now, even the Clowns realize it in an instant. But Dela never realizes it because she is too focused on her passion for fashion and managing the store.

Iceburg is very red now that he seems like he'll burst anytime. Buggy & Cricket finally stop teasing him before he really burst. They finally calm down after a moment and Dela gives Iceburg a drink. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Just like what everyone thought, Iceburg came here because he was worried about Dela & her parents. He never thought that the pirates would be the Clowns, after all. So he rushed here to prevent anything bad happens.

He keeps saying that he & Dela are friends, so it's natural for him to be worried. But the Clowns keep grinning teasingly and make him very embarrassed. He doesn't want to admit that he loves Dela.

"A-Anyway, I'm not worried if it's you guys because I know you. So I will take my leave now," Iceburg choose to retreat.

"Wait, Iceburg! There's something that we need to discuss, so can you stay for a moment?" asks Dela.

Iceburg nods and then Dela starts to explain her plan to join the Clowns.

"NO! Even if I know these guys aren't evil and will protect you, I still can't allow it. The sea is very dangerous and we never know what will happen. They are strong and I know that, but there are still many people that are stronger than them," says Iceburg firmly.

"Yeah, it's hard to believe, right? But that's what happens," says Buggy.

"Aren't you worried about her? Being a Marine is a dangerous job, just like pirates," asks Iceburg.

"Of course, I am worried about her. But that doesn't mean that I can restrain her from doing what she wants. I love her, that's why I want her to be happy. She is happy being a Marine, so I let her become one. Rather than restraining her, I decided to support her, and you should do it too. If you keep restraining her, one day she will get fed up and do something even more dangerous. What will you do if she suddenly joins an unknown pirate crew?" asks Buggy.

"That's...," Iceburg doesn't know what to say.

"At least you know us. We will never do something that will harm her and we are strong so we can protect her. Other pirate crews might not be as good as us. Most of them might just see women as playthings. It's the reality and you know that. That's why you forbid her from leaving. But if she suddenly gets enough and leaves without your knowledge, then believe me that you will regret it forever. So think about it carefully and talk with her again. Just be honest and tell her your feeling," says Buggy as he leaves Iceburg.

Iceburg stays there and thinks about what Buggy said to him just now. He knows all of it but he just doesn't want to admit and do it. He denied all those things because he wants to keep protecting the woman that he loves.

From afar, Buggy looks at Iceburg who is still sitting there. He gets a little frustrated and thinks, 'Come on! Get up and talk with her to finish this! I need my secretary and you're stopping her from joining my crew happily. It will make her work sloppy and I don't want that. Also, if you don't finish this now then this will turn into a love drama story. This is supposed to be an adventure story, so hurry up and finish this problem before the genre changes!'
