Chapter 216: Next

Chapter 216: Next

The next day after the execution, The Clowns prepare to leave the island. They buy all the coals that have been mined with food and other necessities instead of money. What the people need now isn't money after all, but food, clothes, medicine, etc.

Besides, Beasts Pirates will surely come again and they'll take the money from this island. That's why having money will be a burden for the people here. Also, there's a lot of money in Beasts Pirates' base and Mayor's mansion.

The Clowns don't take any money and just take the coal. They don't need the money, after all, as they have plenty of it. But they help the islanders hide the money in a hidden underground base that they make hastily.

The Beasts Pirates will suspect that the money was taken away by the Clowns, so the islanders will be safe. But the islanders need to keep working in the mine for the time being to please the Beasts Pirates until The Clowns destroy them.

"Why do you go this far to help us?" asks a local elder.

"It's because I still have a heart. I am no saint and I've killed many people. But I have my own view of what's right and what's wrong. I just follow what my heart tells me to do because it makes me feel more humane. I have principles and I need to always stick to them forever or I'll lose myself," says Buggy.

The elderly man widens his eyes a bit and laughs a little.

Then Buggy says, "Funny, right? A pirate talks about such bullshit. You don't need to believe it if you want."

"Well, it's hard to believe but the proof is in front of me, so what can I say? Even if you lie, it is a fact that you've saved us. That's why we are still grateful to you and your crew. Thank you very much," says the elderly man while bowing.

Buggy just waves his hand and walks away to the port. His crew is ready to leave this island and go to their next destination. They will keep hunting the Beasts Pirates' units to weaken the enemy while training themselves and searching for more crew members.

As for the coals that they take from the island, they transport them using a different ship. Ruff has installed a machine on the cargo ship so it can move faster. They will sell the coals on a nearby island's blackmarket to lure the Beasts Pirates. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

After everything's ready, the crew leaves Coke Island. Most of them are still injured but staying on the island for a long time is dangerous. The Beasts Pirates might come anytime and the Clowns might not be able to escape if they don't leave soon.

They just need to recover on their way to the next island. Their next destination is quite close, just around 2 days. But it's enough for them to recover and they won't fight there, just selling the coals. They will leave as soon as they sold all the coals in the blackmarket.

"There are around 1100 enemies on this island, far more than before. Also, these guys are as strong or even stronger than the previous ones, so get ready. Remember, Magnus, you are the leader so don't charge first. You need to make sure your men fight properly before you make your move," says Buggy.

"But if my target moves then I need to move too, right?" asks Magnus.

"Correct. If that happens, Ruff who joins this raid will take over the command. There are many slave workers in this place, forced to work for Beasts Pirates. Well, most of them are pirates trying their luck, but some are civilians. I will work with Deon to release them while the other executives watch over the raid," says Buggy.

"Magnus, Ruff, we will keep watching you but don't rely on us. We will only help in emergencies, so don't hope too much," says Cricket.

"I understand," says Magnus.

They discuss the plan until they reach the island and a strong breeze welcomes them already. This raid will be more difficult than they thought.
