Chapter 350: Parents' Worries

Chapter 350: Parents' Worries

Days passed since The Clown Pirates arrived on Conomi Islands. Buggy is the only one who stays there after 2 months. Everyone else is on a trip around East Blue. They go to places they like because they are on a break.

However, they go using passenger ships, or even boats. The Black Pearl is staying quietly on their port in Conomi Islands. There's no way they can use The Black Pear without its Captain on it and Buggy never permitted them to use it without him, the ship is Captain's, so no one can use it without his permission.

Besides, this is the crew's break, so this is also The Pearl's break. They only use Black Pearl when they are 'on duty' because it's their symbol as a Pirate Crew. East Blue is also not so dangerous for them that they need Black Pearl to go around.

Even Buggy never used Black Pearl when he has a family trip. He used a small ship that Palu made a few years ago with a similar design to their old ship, The Little Hunter. Buggy even named this ship The Young Hunter in memory of The Little Hunter.

In these 2 months, Buggy enjoys his time with his family. He went on some trips with them and also play with his kids. Their play? It was the 'game' where Nami & Leo tried to hunt him to get his bounty.

Of course, the kids are seriously trying to defeat him and he isn't even 1% serious. He still beats them up though, but only with some little knocks on the head. Some parents might pretend to get defeated in their kids' games, but Buggy doesn't want to lose to his kids even in games.

Although the main reason is he wants to use these games to train them. Kids like them don't like serious training, so he uses their games to train them. It will be fun and the kids will learn a lot while playing.

Buggy's method is by giving them advice while handling their attacks. He tells them their mistakes, what they need to do, what their opponents can do, what they're lacking, etc. He engraves those lessons to them while they practice them.

Both Leo & Nami are still young, so his lessons will stick strongly in their minds. But he doesn't use this method to train Nojiko because she has trained for a longer time. She now can take more serious training without games and she prefers that method.

Currently, Buggy is lying on the beach alone while looking at the sky. He is pondering about something and it looks serious. Bellemere comes when he's still thinking deeply and so she asks him.

"What are you thinking about so seriously?" asks Bellemere.

"It's about the kids. I'm wondering whether or not it is necessary to give them that power," says Buggy.

Bellemere widens her eyes a bit and asks, "Are you thinking of giving them devil fruits?"

"Just Leo, I have removed the possibility of giving devil fruits to the girls. But I am still considering giving one to Leo," says Buggy.

No one mind it though and they thought that it was normal. They thought that it was because the dog eat so well that it grew so fast. Only Buggy knows the truth and he doesn't want to reveal it yet. They might choose to leave the dog if they know it can be as big as a bear, after all.

Anyway, Buggy is holding a small cloth bag right now. He opens it and reveals what he stored inside which is a devil fruit. It's an orange devil fruit with flame-shaped components with swirling patterns on its skin. This is a very famous devil fruit among One Piece fans, The Flame Flame Fruit.

Buggy actually didn't want to take this fruit even though he has seen it many times when he visited Sixis Island. It was still stored in a chest of a wrecked ship. Buggy still wants this fruit to be eaten by Ace, so he let it be.

But he changed his mind last month after seeing his son's talent. Buggy decides to give Flame Flame Fruit to Leo. As an exchange, he replaced it with the Magma Magma Fruit. If nothing changes, then Ace will find that fruit and eat it.

Buggy's reason to choose Flame Flame Fruit rather than Magma Magma Fruit is simple. Leo will be a swordsman and fire can be used along with his swordsmanship, but magma can't. As for Ace, he fights using fists, so Magma will be more powerful for him.

Buggy extends the fruit to Leo and says, "Every time you're ready."

Without any hesitation, Leo takes & eats the devil fruit, "Ugh, disgusting."
