Chapter 352: Sudden Work
Buggy keeps teaching Leo the basic knowledge of Devil Fruits. But he doesn't teach any technique or even give ideas regarding the usage of Leo's Flame Flame Fruit. He wants Leo to explore his power however the kid likes.
Children usually have many wild ideas that adults never even thought of. Adults' thinking has been affected by their experience, while children who haven't experienced many things will have more imagination. So Buggy thinks it's better to let Leo use his imagination freely.
That's why Buggy just teaches Leo the basic knowledge of devil fruits like the weaknesses, types, and famous users. But he trains Leo seriously on other aspects like swordsmanship, battle skills, and physical training.
Buggy knows how important it is to have good basics from a young age. So he teaches Leo the best training menu he has formulated using all his experience. Buggy has experienced all levels of power in this world from bottom to top, so his experience is very vast
He needs to prepare Leo well because he is very sure that Leo will enter the world league. As his son, Leo will surely become a target of many big leagues. Not only that, he is Nami's little brother and both of them are very close, so he might get associated with Luffy one way or another in the future.
Their training sessions are also time for father-son bonding. It also makes Leo want to chase his father even more after he realizes that his father is never even a little bit serious against him. Buggy also put more oil into that flame because he knows the importance of having a big goal for people to reach the top.
So, who else can be a better goal for Leo other than one of the strongest individuals in the world? And Buggy prefers his son chasing after him over his enemies because it also means that he is Leo's idol. There's no way a proud father like him will let his son idolize other people's fathers.
However, their father-son bonding time needs to end a month & a half after Leo ate the Flame Flame Fruit. The Caribbean has informed Buggy that they get information on Ope Ope Fruit. A Pirate Crew will sell the fruit to Marine and the transaction will happen on Minion Island, North Blue.
So Buggy immediately calls his crewmates and they return to Conomi Islands in a few hours. No one wastes any time returning after their Captain called, no matter what they were doing. Even those who are in the middle of Snu Snu time leave their partners without any hesitation, that's how loyal the crew is to their Captain.
"Sorry about this, kids. Dad has work to do. I will return as soon as possible after this work is done," says Buggy while hugging his children.
Nami & Leo look sad and even tear up while Nojiko is calmer. She always act strong as the oldest child and never wanted to show any weakness to her little siblings. Nojiko is also the one holding her little siblings' hands as Buggy gets on the ship.
Bellemere pats Nojiko as praise as they wave their hands to Buggy who is departing with his crew. Nojiko also feels lonely when Buggy leaves, but she tries to be strong. They know that Buggy will need to leave sooner or later, but this is just too fast for the kids who have just enjoyed their time with their father. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
Buggy also feels sad about leaving his family, but it needs to be done. It still feels lonely though, so he keeps looking at the island from the rear deck until it disappears from his sight. His demeanor changes immediately and he is in Captain Mode now.
"Move at full speed, we will fly over the Red Line through Reverse Mountain," says Buggy.
Magnus who was hiding from the sight appears and shocks the 2 pirate crews. Then he picks his axe and swings it toward the 2 ships. A horizontal slash attack flies toward the ships and cuts their masts.
"There are many guys like him in Grandline, so unless you are confident about facing them, you should just enjoy your time in East Blue. Let's go lads, the game is over," says Buggy.
The crew then moves their ship again and it passes between the 2 Galleon Ships. Both unknown crews can only watch them pass with dumbfounded expressions. Then they look at each other with expressions that indicate they want to cancel their trip to Grandline.
"L-let just goes home. Being a pirate isn't that fun anyway. I will rather be a farmer," says one of the Captains.
"Ye-yeah, I rather raise chickens," says the other Captain before they row their ships back to Loguetown.
The Clown Pirates just keep moving without minding what the 2 crews will do. They finally enter and climb the Reverse Mountain. The crew makes their ship moves faster using Jet Dials and they reach the peak in a short time.
Then because of their high speed, the Black Pearl flies through the top. After the ship flies to the highest level, a pair of jet-fighter-like wings come out of it. The ship starts flying toward North Blue with the help of wind and its engines.
Buggy looks at the sea below and thinks, 'Let's see if there's any change caused by my small action.'
