Chapter 395: Maverick
The man that finally shows up has a small stature with a skinny and rather short body. His skin is black and he looks quite young, unlike what Buggy thought after hearing his voice that sounds deep and very manly. Buggy thought someone with a Gigachad physique will appear, not a kid-size man.
There is something unique about the man's appearance though. He has an eye on his forehead, a 3rd eye that looks like his other 2 eyes and functions normally. So Buggy knows this guy is a member of the 3rd eye tribe, but that doesn't matter at all.
"Are you a kid?" asks Buggy.
"No, I'm an adult. My dead mom said that I would be an adult after turning 20 years. It has been 6 years since I passed that age," says the man.
"Oh, so you are 26 even though you look like a kid. Well, 26 is an adult, still younger than me though, I'm 30 this year, after all," says Buggy.
"What about the story?" asks the guy.
"I will tell you, don't worry. Let's change the place though," says Buggy.
"No, let's do it here," says the guy with a wary tone. He is still vigilant toward Buggy.
"Fine, but at least tell me your name," says Buggy.
"Maverick, that's what my dead parents used to call me," says Maverick, the 3-eyed man.
"Damn, that's a cool name. Alright, Maverick, what do you want to hear first? The full story of my adventure will take a long time to tell. So I can tell you a general view of this world that I've seen, or a group of people who look like you," says Buggy with suspense.
Maverick seems surprised by the last statement, "People like me? What do you mean?"
"You sure realized that you have 3 eyes and I only have 2, right?" asks Buggy.
"Yeah, you are strange," says Maverick. He thought that everyone has 3 eyes because his dead parents also have 3 eyes and he had never seen other people besides his parents his whole life.
"I know I'm strange, but that's not because of my eyes. Most people in this world only have 2 eyes, Maverick. There aren't many who have 3 eyes like you in this whole world," says Buggy.
"Really?" asks Maverick, still not fully believing what Buggy said.
Yeah, they are very good at sewing and while The Clown Pirates didn't dwell in the fashion business, they still need good tailors for their business. The Caribbean is a group of spies, so they will need a lot of pretexts. Selling clothes is a very great and unusual pretext to gather information.
By selling high-quality clothes, they can entice nobles or people of high positions to their stores and gather information. They can even do it on Sabaody to entice Celestial Dragons. Those pieces of trash don't always come down just to get slaves, after all.
Anyway, the 3-eyed tribe agreed and now they live on a small island protected by Clown Pirates. Their new island is quite close to Clownland, so it is one of the safest places in The Clown Pirates' territories. Buggy went to such lengths because that's just how he is. He is never half-assed at helping people.
Buggy keeps telling Maverick about this world's people. He also tells Maverick the general view of this world like the 7 seas, the main groups competing in this world, etc. Maverick keeps listening excitedly even with his limited imagination because he never saw the things that Buggy tells him.
"This world is very vast, Maverick. My crew has explored a lot of places for more than a decade now, but we still haven't finished because of how vast this world is," says Buggy with a cool face.
Maverick is silent for a moment before he asks, "What is a decade?"
Buggy's cool face cramped instantly, but he still answers, "A decade is a cooler name for 10 years and there is a century for 100 years."
"Ooh, I see I see," says Maverick happily because he learns something new.
Buggy sees Maverick and ponders that he must've looked like that whenever he learns something new too. 'I need to take this guy out of here. The feeling of being alone in the world, I know that feeling very well, and it makes me hurt just by thinking that it happen to someone I met.'
