Chapter 230: A Big Secret
While The Clowns stay in Kuri, Deon & his team are in Flower Capital. They have come here since the crew landed on Kuri's beach. Buggy has sent them on a mission in Flower Capital to gather information and infiltrate the palace.
Deon & his team are specialists in this type of job and they've done this every time before their raids in these last few months. They are like the crew's version of Cipher Pols or Ninjas. Their skills are also high enough as they have always succeeded in their mission so far.
They've arrived in Flower Capital last night when the crew was having a party with Oden's group. They are quite pitiful to not being able to join the party. But they have important missions and everyone on the crew has their job.
There are 6 people on Deon's team including him. But only 5 are in Flower Capital while 1 stays with Buggy in Kuri. The one who stays in Kuri has the same job to gather information, but his job is in Kuri instead of Flower Capital.
This guy is also very skilled, only 2nd to Deon in their team. He has mastered the art of stealth and can even hide from weak Observation Haki users. Buggy needs this guy because his mission is to spy on Kanjuro.
They need to know Kanjuro's movements and possibly remove him in the process. But that's difficult, so at least they need to know what Kanjuro does and planned. They can also find out about Orochi & Kaido's plans through Kanjuro.
His mission went well so far and so are the others' missions. They are now spreading in Flower Capital and disguised as normal citizens. Deon even has infiltrate the palace by disguising himself as a servant.
The team really move fast and they send a lot of information to Buggy on the 2nd night. But it's still the 2nd day, so the information that they get is mostly about what happened there before they arrived and important issues.
That's enough for now because the Clowns don't know what happened in Wano before they arrived here. Even Buggy only knows a few things from the series. He never knows the details and only knows the gist of what happened.
Yes, he can ask Oden too and he has done it. But Oden himself doesn't know much of the things that happened in his country because he is basically being confined by Orochi & Kaido. Also, he doesn't know what happened inside the enemy's circle.
Deon's team's job is to get information from the enemy's inner circle. They have other jobs but the information is the most important. Having enough information is the key to winning a war and it has worked for the Clowns so far.
"Hmm, so Kaido knew that I have arrived here already but he doesn't make any move. I guess it's because I'm in Kuri and Oden's group is here. He must be wary of our combined force. Coming to Kuri immediately is a correct choice it seems," says Buggy while smirking.
Currently, Buggy is having a meeting with his executives in a closed room. Only Magnus & Deon aren't here because one is too big while the other is on a mission. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
"What should we do now, Captain?" asks Enel.
The devil fruit was the one he found on the volcano on Ruff's island. He keeps it because he has a very good feeling about this devil fruit. It might be a very rare & strong devil fruit, so he won't give it to just anyone.
Buggy plans to give it to Bellemere so that she can protect herself better. His name is very big already now and he is one of the most wanted men in the world. If Marine & WG knows his relationship with Bellemere, they will use her as a tool to get him.
She will also get put in danger many times because of it. Also, there's the Arlong incident where she gets killed in the series. He won't let it happen, so he needs to make her strong, and this devil fruit wi help.
But Buggy doesn't come here for the treasures or the devil fruit. He comes for the small box that he opens slowly. There are 2 compartments covered with soft red cloth in the box. In one part is a dingdong with its balls, while in the other one is a beating hard.
They are Buggy's dingdong, balls, & heart that he keeps here. He has kept them in the box for a long time to keep himself alive in most situations. It proved useful when he fought Kizaru because Kizaru stabbed his left chest, but he didn't die because his heart wasn't there.
Dingdong & balls are men's weaknesses, so he needs to hide them in this box made of Adam Wood. The crates are also made of Adam Wood, the leftovers of the material for this ship. Palu also coated these crates with strong metal to add durability.
But even Palu doesn't know that Buggy keeps these things in this small box. None of his crewmates know it and they thought it was just to save his treasures. It's not that he doesn't believe his crewmates, but he needs to be very careful.
Buggy closes the box and says, "I need to hide this box somewhere else along with the other treasures. This war will be very big and this ship might even get destroyed, so I can't take a risk."
