Chapter 280: Follow Up
After arriving at Kuri, the Clowns visit Buggy who has just finished his surgery. But Buggy has fallen asleep when they arrive. The medicine & his high fatigue make Buggy fall asleep right after the surgery.
Manba tells them that Buggy is fine now so they don't need to worry. Well, they all can see it by looking at how Buggy sleeps as if there's nothing to worry about at all. This is the first time they see him sleeping carelessly since they arrived in Wano, after all.
None of them could sleep soundlessly too these days. Their enemies were close, so they were always on their guards before. They are more relaxed now but they still can't bring themselves to sleep like Buggy.
Also, they still have things to do even after they win the war. They can't just sleep like Buggy when their men are working to take care of the post-war things. Only after taking care of those things can they rest.
It takes them 5 hours to round up most problems even with the samurais' help. There are just many things to do like looting, treating the injured ones, taking care of the deceased, detaining the captured enemies, etc. They need to capture the fleeing enemies too, but it can't be done in just a few hours.
After they finish most work, they all eat the food that Mantis has prepared together with her team and the civilians. Buggy also eats together with them in a half-asleep state. His body can't move so it's only his head that flies around to eat.
"Are you sure he isn't fully awake?" asks Oden at Cricket.
"Yeah, he is half-asleep. I know you doubt it right now but it's the truth. Can't you see that he is snoring with one eye closed while the other is only half-open. He can even eat while sleeping, so this is not that strange," says Cricket.
Oden gets speechless for a moment, "It seems his strange behaviors have made your common sense twisted because this bizarre thing looks normal to you."
"Oi, I said that it's not that strange compared to his sleep-eating," says Cricket pissedly. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Anyway, they all eat until their stomachs are full before they rest. All the pirates sleep immediately but the samurais aren't. For the pirates, this is just a war between 2 crews and the winner gets the loser's wealth. But that's not the case for the samurais.
For the samurais, this war isn't just about winning against their enemies. It's a way to free their country from the tyrant Orochi, his force, and their backers. This war is for their country's present and future so they can't rest just because they've won the war.
Oden immediately leads his retainers who still can move to Flower Capital. They need to announce their victory and show Orochi's & Kaido's defeat. This is also the best chance to root Orochi's force in the capital before they flee.
Of course, they also bring Orochi, Kaido, & some of their high-ranking followers like Fukurokuju, King, & Queen. They only leave some samurais in Kuri to help & protect the civilians while they go to Flower Capital.
Ruff has done some research on prosthetic organs for a few months. He did it because some of their crewmates left the crew after losing a limb or two. If they could get good prosthetic limbs, then they won't need to leave.
But Ruff never learned about it and he is specialized in weapons. He hasn't succeeded until now, especially because he has some other research too, so his progress on this subject is very slow.
That's why Queen's data is very valuable for Ruff to make good prosthetic limbs. He still needs to research to try the concept that he makes using Queen's data until he succeeds. After that, he will make the functional prosthetics for his crewmates with Gill's help.
"You look very happy, sir Ruff," says Gill who looks like a tall & muscular dark elf.
"Hehe, of course, I have another researcher's valuable data, after all. It gives me fresh ideas that will make our crew stronger. If our weapons get stronger, then the crew will also grow," says Ruff while grinning.
"Good for you then," says Gill.
"Yeah, sure. Anyway, let's stop these useless chats, and get to work. We will get even stronger with this and won't lose our crewmates anymore. So let's make the best weapons for the," says Ruff full of enthusiasm.
