Chapter 229: Alliance
Oden & Buggy talk again on the rear deck with Buggy still carrying Hiyori on his shoulder. Just like what Buggy thought, Oden has made a decision. He decides to attack Kaido together with Buggy.
It will be foolish of him to not use the chance when The Clowns attack Beasts Pirates. They have the same enemies even with different goals, so they are on the same side. They will get strong allies and get stronger, so they'll have a better winning chance against Beasts Pirates.
"Then, this will be the start of our alliance," says Buggy while smiling & offering his hand to Oden.
Oden grabs Buggy's hand and says, "We will be in your care, Buggyjiro."
"Let's announce it to everyone," says Buggy.
They go to the main deck and call everyone before announcing their alliance. Everyone cheers and the party gets merrier. Buggy takes a glance at Kanjuro before ignoring him. He needs to take care of this guy soon before their plan starts.
The party lasted all night and the men are wasted in the morning. Only a few people 'survived' the party, but they still need to rest in the morning. Surprisingly, Buggy & Oden are not among the survivors.
They were too happy with their reunion and the creation of the alliance. So they drank too much and got wasted like the others. Now they are sleeping on the floor while the women who could control themselves watch.
"It's been a long time since my husband got this happy. Our lives were very hard these years and it was harder for him as a lord. It seems the alliance with Buggyjiro's crew has lifted a lot of his worry," says Toki.
"That's good then. We don't want our allies to be stressed when they fight alongside us," says the drunk Jude while walking toward Buggy.
"Yeah, they can't fight with their full power if they have too much to think," says Mantis as she catches Jude's back collar.
"Release my collar, Mantis," says Jude while struggling to release Mantis' grip, but to no avail.
"No way! I won't let you attack Captain while he sleeps. You are a girl, so mind your behavior more," says Mantis as she bonks Jude's head.
"Attacking him?" asks Toki while watching Jude rubs the bump on her head.
"Yeah, this girl has been constantly trying to sexually harass our Captain lately," says Mantis with a tired expression.
Toki is shocked and asks, "W-Why would she do that?"
"It's because she likes Captain, but he already has someone he loves. She doesn't give up though and keeps trying to get his love, but she never succeeds. Then a few months ago, Enel gave her a very bad idea," says Mantis.
Enel told Jude to just use force if she couldn't use a normal approach. He just said that as a joke but Jude took it too seriously because she was quite desperate at that time. So she started to attack Buggy like this since then. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
"Palu, how long?" asks Buggy.
"2 or 3 days I think because I don't know the full condition of this house," says Palu.
"Alright, I leave it to you," says Buggy.
Palu nods and asks Kin'emon for a tour around the house. Their conversation confused Oden's group though because they don't understand anything.
"What are you talking about, Buggyjiro?" asks Oden.
"Hmm? Oh, Palu will fix the broken parts of your house. So he needs to know the condition first. That's why he asks Kin'emon for a tour. Don't worry, he has good skill," says Buggy.
"Fixing the house?! Will you really do that?" asks Oden in surprise. His family & men are also surprised.
"Yeah, we will fix it. There's no way I will let my men sleep under a broken house for who knows how long," says Buggy.
"I-I am grateful that you want to fix it, but somehow your words are hurting my heart too," says Oden with a conflicted expression.
"You should feel hurt because I mocked your house," says Buggy nonchalantly as he leaves Oden who has a twitching mouth.
"My Lord," says Toki with a concerned tone.
Oden raises his hands and says, "It's okay, Toki. I just forget that he is a pirate, a ruthless sailor. Pirates usually have foul mouths, after all, even though their intentions aren't always bad. We need to tell our people so they won't fight over a few words. Sigh, I hope there won't be any conflict before we even start."
