Chapter 316: Leonardo
Bellemere pants very hard after she gave birth. Buggy rubs her hair while smiling at her before kissing her forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work," says Buggy.
Bellemere still pants as she answers, "Next time.... I will use whatever method that you think isn't painful."
Buggy blinks his eyes and says, "I'll take that as a pass to have more children."
"... I take it back, 3 is enough," says Bellemere after a pause.
A nurse then cleans the baby with warm water while Manba checks on Bellemere.
"The mother and baby are healthy. She just needs to rest and eat healthy food. We will check your breast milk later so we'll know if you can produce enough milk for the baby. By the way, have you decided on a name for your son?" asks Manba as the nurse gives the baby to Buggy.
"Yeah, his name is Leonardo," says Buggy while smiling as he holds his son.
Buggy chose the name Leonardo because he idolized some figures with the name Leonardo. Leonardo da Vinci, Leonardo DiCaprio, and his favorite character of TMNT, Leonardo, the oldest one among 4 mutant turtle brothers. He wanted to be like them in his past life, but that was impossible.
"I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool," says Manba.
Well, even Buggy also doesn't know what it means, it also just sounds cool to him. But he has a hope for his son by using that name. He hopes his son will be a great person like those that he idolized.
Buggy puts Leonardo beside his mother so that Bellemere can see her son. She looks at the baby with a lovely smile and hugs him happily. The little guy also smiles as his mother hugs him, which makes Buggy jealous because he didn't do it while Buggy carried him before.
Soon, the others who waited outside enter the room. Nojiko & Nami are looking at their little brother curiously. The others also do the same even though they are adults. They never really watched a baby this close, after all, so they are very curious.
Later that night, Buggy throws a big party to celebrate his son's birth. Leonardo has shown a passion for a party on his first day living in this world. He keeps giggling as he sees everyone dancing and singing merrily.
That's also one of the main reasons he expanded The Caribbean for information networks. For Buggy, information is one of the greatest weapons. By knowing more, he will know the best thing to do.
He isn't Luffy or Straw Hats, so he can't rely on luck for many things. His plot armor isn't as strong as Luffy's plot armor. So he can't rely on that and gathering more information to build the best plans is one of his way to make sure everything goes well for him.
Although Buggy has felt like the main character with everything he has done in this world. He even becomes an Emperor faster than Shanks. Well, it won't be faster than Luffy who will surely be the Pirate King at a young age because he has the real God of this world, Oda, behind his back.
Anyway, Buggy's trip around East Blue is taking quite a long time. He has many acquaintances here and there, so he stays for a rather long time. Besides, he wants to enjoy his time with his family while he can.
Another reason is that he is recruiting people for The Caribbean's information business. His men are spreading their network around New World for now. So he tries to make it faster by expanding his business in East Blue.
He already has his old friends, Jimmy & Burton to manage the East Blue branch. Then slowly, he will take over the information business around the world. When that happens, he will know everything he wants to know easily.
Buggy & The Clown Pirates stay on East Blue for 8 months before they return to Grandline. They still have things to do and can't stay here forever. Buggy leaves despite his unwillingness, but this is the consequence of his choices.
