Chapter 225: Way to Wano
The Clowns are on their way to Wano after finishing their raids. It's been a few months since they started their attack on Beasts Pirates' territories. Buggy thinks that it's enough and it's time to attack Kaido. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
He doesn't know the exact time of Oden's last battle with Kaido. So he goes to Wano right after the new year. He hopes that it isn't late yet and Oden hasn't attacked Beasts Pirates.
His attacks on Beasts Pirates might change Kaido's plan, after all. Kaido might hasten his plan and makes Oden attack him faster. There is a mole in Oden's group, after all, so everything can happen.
On their way to Wano, Clown Pirates encounter a Marine fleet. It's a fleet led by a Vice Admiral but they can destroy the fleet fast. The Clowns use their railgun to destroy the Marine fleet from afar while testing their improved railgun's power.
The encounter with the Marine fleet is quite a problem for them. It's because the Marine will know their current location and it will spread. So Kaido will most likely know that they are on their way to Wano.
Now a surprise attack doesn't seem possible so they need to fight Beasts Pirates' main force head-on. The Clowns aren't afraid to use a frontal attack but the enemy's number is high. Even after they killed many Beasts Pirates' members, there are still more than 10 thousand enemies in Wano.
'It seems we need to work together with Oden's group to fight Kaido. But the problem is that bastard Kanjuro. I'm glad that I've known about Kanjuro's real identity before I got sent to this world. If not, then I will think that he is an ally and the information will leak,' ponders Buggy.
Buggy then thinks of a plan to dispose of Kanjuro first before attacking Beasts Pirates. But he can't just tell Oden that Kanjuro is a spy because Oden & his retainers trust Kanjuro. They will just think that Buggy lies and might even see him as an enemy.
He can't let them hate him because he needs their help to fight Beasts Pirates. There are many samurais who follow Oden and they will be a great help in the battle against Beasts Pirates because they are strong.
The Clowns have gotten much stronger since they started their raids. But they can't just ignore the enemy's number. Besides, the Beasts Pirates' main force is composed of their strongest members too so it will be difficult against that number.
Buggy thinks of something and then picks his denden mushi to call someone. He calls Shanks to ask if the red hair wants to join this attack on Beasts Pirates. In Sabaody, Buggy has told Shanks his plan to attack Beasts Pirates in Wano and he has asked whether Shanks want to join or not.
But now, Shanks still doesn't give him a clear answer. So Buggy tells him that they will attack in 2 weeks. It doesn't matter whether Shanks wants to join or not. Buggy & his crew will still attack Beasts Pirates in 2 weeks.
Buggy calls the executives and starts a discussion with them. He needs to tell them about the current situation and asks for their help to create a plan. They will do this together, so they need to think about it together too.
"Shanks still hasn't decided anything and I don't know the current situation on Wano. It's better to think that they won't help us in this so we can only try to get Oden's group's help now," says Buggy.
But at the very least, they want to increase their crew's survival rate and reduce casualties. That's why they need to create some good plans and get stronger. War is merciless, after all, and even the executives or even Buggy might get killed.
But they've done everything they could in these few months to raise their crew's power. They improved a lot of things like their physical power, mentality, battle skills, and other things including Haki.
Currently, many crew members who have trained Haki since they were in Paradise can use Haki already. Of course, their mastery is still low and they can only use one type of Haki for now. Some trained A-Haki while the others trained O-Haki and they've reached a decent mastery for people who have just trained Haki for a few months.
The A-Haki users can only cover a few parts of their bodies, but it's good enough to help them in battles. The O-Haki users can use it to predict enemies' movement but not for a long time. Still, it's very useful against strong enemies.
It's not just the normal members who improved their Haki. Even Jude also improved her Haki and now she can use A-Haki a little, so she can use 2 types of Haki already. Brook & Ruff also can use O-Haki a little but still can't use A-Haki.
To raise their chance, Ruff's science team also has worked hard. They've improved the crew's weapons and even create some new weapons. Good weapons are very important in a war of any scale.
The Clowns have done what they could to prepare for this war. So now, they can only work hard to achieve victory. They prepare themselves for the final battle on Wano while looking at a massive waterfall in front of them. The Clowns have arrived at Wano's border.
