Chapter 345: Discovery

Name:Transcended as Lord Buggy Author:
Chapter 345: Discovery

Buggy has arrived at the hidden underground room location with his group. They don't open the door immediately because there might be some traps there. Brook also thought about that, so he waited until Buggy comes.

"This is a very nice finding. When Roger Pirates were here, we didn't find this place, so the inside must've been intact," says Buggy.

"Then, there might be treasures down there," says Alan excitedly.

"Maybe, but don't get your hopes up too much. It may just be a bunker filled with rotten food," says Buggy.

"If it's a bunker, then they could've stored some precious items inside. There's always a possibility," says Alan stubbornly

"Well, you're not wrong. Then let's open it to find it out. Everyone step back! I will open it," says Buggy.

The others step back quite far to avoid unwanted things. Then Buggy opens the door, but he doesn't open it normally. Buggy cuts the door using his power to avoid triggering the traps if there are any. His cutting power separated the space without severing the connection, after all, so it is safer.

However, the people of the past were very smart, and they've anticipated this kind of method. They've prepared a trap that would get activated when the trigger gets in contact with outside air. There is a big bomb that explodes when it gets triggered.

*POOF*

Too bad though, the bomb can't explode properly and only creates some smoke, it's a dud. Well, it has been hundreds of years since this trap was set. So the mechanisms have deteriorated over time and they can't work properly now.

"Lamp," says Buggy to his crewmates without any sign of worry even though he almost gets caught in a massive explosion.

The crew looks at each other and says, "Uh, we don't have it."

Buggy sighs before telling them to take some lamps in their ship. Some crew members run to take the lamps while the rest are looking at the dark underground room. They can't see anything other than the stairs leading down.

"Maybe the lights will lit automatically when someone enters it," says Yamato before trying to enter.

But suddenly, Buggy grabs her back collar and pulls her away from the door. "Don't enter it yet. We don't know if there are still active traps. The previous one was a very lucky case because the trap has been broken. But there might be some that are still active."

Yamato giggles nervously while scratching the back of her head when she hears that. Alan also takes a step back because he almost followed Yamato. These teens are too rash and don't think too far ahead.

"Don't worry big boy, we will record everything inside so you can see everything later. This is also our achievement, so we will share the loot with you," says Buggy.

"Sigh, okay, I will just sleep here while you play inside," says Magnus with a disappointed face.

Everyone consoles Magnus before they enter the underground facility. They arrive at the branched path after half an hour later and proceed to use Buggy's plan. Enel streams his lightning on the floor, walls, & ceiling of all the paths, making the room bright.

Sometime later, he finally finishes the mapping of this place and as Buggy thought, it's a labyrinth. Luckily, it's not too big and not too complicated for them. Enel makes the map in the air using his lightning because it is very hard to memorize the whole structure.

Jude draws the map on paper as Enel projects the paths with his lightning. Enel even finds some hidden rooms which makes him even more spirited. They finish in a rather short time and start to search for the correct path.

"Alright, let's go to the main goal first. We can check the hidden rooms in the other paths later and checks the ones along the way first," says Buggy.

Everyone agrees and they proceed to follow the correct path. Buggy & Cricket walks in the front to protect the others. Enel has triggered all the traps when he used his lightning to explore the labyrinth, but they still need to be careful.

They find the 1st hidden room after walking for a few minutes and enter it after Buggy cut the wall that blocked them. Most of them are excited because they thought that it is a treasure room. And they get disappointed when they find out that it's just a lab.

Ruff's team is the one that gets excited by this finding. They immediately inspect everything there and Buggy knows it will take a long time. So he orders them to just take everything and learn what they find later.
