Chapter 347: Return

Chapter 347: Return

East Blue, a place Buggy hasn't seen for more than 2 years. It also means that he hasn't seen his family for that long. Well, his crew spent almost a year just at the last 3 islands, and they've spent months since they entered New World and they've also sailed in Paradise for a few months.

Buggy actually gives his crew a few months' breaks after sailing for a rather long time, but none of them want to return to their homeland yet. Most of them don't have families or their homelands are not as peaceful as East Blue or they aren't attached to their homelands. They prefer having a break in a peaceful place like East Blue where they can relax, after all.

The crew arrives in East Blue in 2 months, which is quite long for their current speed. Their slower movements were caused by the extreme weather around the last islands of the New World. They also needed to go to Paradise first, which made them need to travel a far longer distance.

The Clown Pirates also caught up to the world's current situations as they travel. They couldn't get a lot of information in the last year since they were on the island with very hard trees where they upgraded their ship. Some news still reached them through Denden Mushi calls from their organization, but many things still weren't heard by them.

The biggest piece of news that Buggy get is the completion of Sea Train by Tom's Workers. It was done when the Clown Pirates were isolated on Hard Trees Island. The Sea Train became big news in the half-end of Paradise, but it didn't too important in New World.

With the completion of Sea Train, Buggy knows that soon he'll need to protect Tom from that damn Spandam's scheme. It will surely affect Franky's & Iceburg's development in the future, but he couldn't care less. For him & his crew, Tom is a very important person who has helped them build Black Pearl.

The next interesting piece of news is Sun Pirates' attacks on Celestial Dragons. Well, they don't attack directly, rather, they attack slave traders' ships and freed captured people many times. Of course, the Celestial Dragons & World Government treat those as attacks on them.

Surely, many Fishmen in Sun Pirates are against it to this day. Fishmen like Arlong want to dominate the world and enslave humans to show their race's superiority. However, Fisher Tiger who was a former slave thinks differently.

Tiger knows the pain of being a slave and he also knows that not all humans are bad. Most of the slaves on Mary Geoise are actually humans, after all. So there's no difference between humans & Fishmen in the eyes of Celestial Dragons, they are just objects.

Besides, conquering the human world and enslaving humans will make them the same as those they hate. Tiger doesn't want to be like that even if he dies. He knows who his real targets are, the Celestial Dragons. But Arlong & co who never felt what being slaves were like couldn't understand all of those things.

Luckily, Tiger still can suppress them and make them follow his orders. Although Buggy is sure that it won't be long before Sun Pirates break apart. Arlong & co will surely leave that crew and maybe go to East Blue like the original story, but the result won't be the same.

Then the next big news come from Red Hair Pirates that made World Government & Marine angry. They attacked a World Government's ship last month and stole many precious items. Among those items, there's a devil fruit that Buggy knows since his childhood when he was still living on Earth, Rubber Rubber Fruit.

Even without The Caribbean's help, they can always sell their crops easily. The villagers have many merchant acquaintances, after all. All these merchants won't let such rare goods slip away, so they buy all of the goods.

Now, the villagers are working in Buggy's family's fields while also planting the corps in their fields. Of course, they do it with Buggy's permission. He only has 1 requirement, which is for them to sell their harvest only to his family, and they agree easily because his family gives a fair price.

So now, those who want these crops can only get them through Buggy's family. Well, the result of this farming business is still very low compared to his underground business and piracy. However, Bellemere is happier to use the legal money, so it is worth more for him.

Anyway, The Clown Pirates have arrived on Conomi Islands. Buggy gets down from the ship and sees his family already waiting for him. His wife, his daughters, and his son are waiting at the port since a few days ago.

Buggy smiles and says, "I'm home."
