Chapter 193: New Recruits
Sometime after the talk with Buggy, Iceburg finally talks with Dela again. He tells her his real feelings and even confesses to her. It makes her very surprised and they finally made up to each other. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
Buggy was worried that Dela will cancel her intention to join the crew, but luckily it doesn't happen. She still wants to pursue her dream so she joins the crew. She agrees to be a secretary and takes care of the crew's daily life.
Deon also has done a background checking on her and there's nothing suspicious. She was born on Water 7 and live here for her whole life. Her friendship with Iceburg has been established since they're kids, they're childhood friends.
The crew holds a party at night to celebrate their new member. Surprisingly, Dela immediately does her job at the party. She reprimands the boys because of their dirty clothes and immediately tells them to change even though they're at a party.
The boys refuse at first, but when she said that girls hate dirty boys, they immediately change their clothes to clean ones. These guys are very easy to manipulate, which makes Buggy worry about their future. But at least now he has someone that can handle the boy's daily needs.
"Captain, I advice you to recruit some people to do the chores," says Dela so suddenly in the middle of the party.
"No, assign the crew to do the chores, make a schedule for all of us, including the executives. It will train them to be disciplined and responsible. They all need to know that they need to take care of themselves and the ship. This is their home, so they need to take care of it," says Buggy.
"Even the executives?" asks Dela.
"Yeah, but consider their other jobs too. Mantis & her team are cooking for us every day, so you can ignore them or just give them some easy task," says Buggy.
"Understood. I will make it right away," says Dela.
"Stop it, you can make it tomorrow. This party is for you, so just enjoy it now. Work is important, but enjoying your time is even more important. We are pirates, after all," says Buggy.
"Y-Yes. I'm sorry, I still don't understand how I should behave as a pirate," replies Dela rather embarrassedly.
"How to behave as a pirate? Hahaha, there's no such a thing. You just need to be yourself, that's what we always do. If that's what it means to behave like pirates, then it means we just need to be ourselves and do what we want. Being pirates mean being free, after all," says Buggy.
"I-Is that really what it means to be a pirate?" asks Dela confusedly because she thought that being pirates mean being cruel.
"Yeah, at least that's the case for everyone in our crew. There's no need to think too much about it. Just be yourself," says Buggy.
"G-... G-Gil," says the black man with a low voice.
"Gil, huh? Welcome to the crew," says Buggy while smiling.
Everyone cheers as they get a new crew member and he is a weaponsmith. Now they have someone to help them maintain their weapons and also make better weapons for them. Gil can also help Ruff & Palu make better weapons for the ship.
They have a party again at night and get wasted again in the morning. The crew enjoys their time in Water 7 without any disturbance from Marine & WG. It's because the WG promised to not disturb this island while Tom made the Seatrain. So their days here are very nice.
But Buggy knows that Marine & WG have their men watching over his crew. He doesn't care about it though because those spies won't get anything except their daily activities. Well, they know about the new recruits but it's not a big deal.
Then a week finally passed and they get 3 more recruits after Gil. They are 2 men and a woman. One man is a chemist, one man is a gunner, and the woman is a sniper.
The chemist enters Ruff's team, he finally has a team member. While the gunner & sniper enter Cricket's team. Both of them are twins and they are very skilled with guns. Buggy is really glad to get them because his crew lacks gunners.
Anyway, their days on Water 7 have ended with them getting 5 crew members. Now they have 45 members including the kids, the executives, & Buggy. The crew is getting bigger slowly and Buggy is happy with that.
"Alright, it's time to leave. Let's go to the next destination, Sabaody!" says Buggy excitedly.
