Chapter 404: Remarking

Chapter 404: Remarking

Buggy's little show finally makes the Boa sisters agree to his proposal. They agree to reshape their back skin so that the marks of Celestial Dragon will disappear.

"Uhm, why don't you just remove the marks by taking off the skin that gets marked and make them gone?" asks Elder Nyon.

"That will be possible if they're just tattoos that stick on the skin. The problem is they are burnt marks and they are quite deep. If we just remove them, then the girls will lose a lot of portions of their backs. It will be harder to hide rather than reshape the marks into tattoos. Our doctor also said this method won't cause any damage," says Buggy.

"That makes sense. Alright, I leave them to you," says Elder Nyon.

Buggy nods and the first to be treated is their youngest, Marigold. She opens the back of her clothes while trembling because it reminds her of her past. Her older sisters also feel very bitter and they also tremble when they see Marigold's mark, Elder Nyon does too.

However, Buggy, Mantis, & Dela don't have any reaction whatsoever. They just look at it as if it's a normal thing, not something horrifying. Sandersonia realizes this, which makes them rather wary.

"Why don't you react after seeing that?" asks Sandersonia.

"Should we?" asks Buggy back, making Sandersonia speechless.

Mantis sighs and explains in his stead, "The answer is easy. It's because this is just a mark to us. We have seen it many times and our Lord here had reshaped many of them, that's why we don't react."

"You have done this before?!" asks Elder Nyon in surprise, the Boa sisters are also surprised by this.

"Yes, our Lord has reshaped 2,582 Claws of Celestial Dragons over the years," says Dela, surprising the girls so much. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"No way! There's no way you could find that many escaped slaves in a few years even after Fisher Tiger's attack," says Hancock.

"That's where you are wrong, princess. There are that many and even more escaped slaves all over the world. Fisher Tiger was the most successful attacker, but he isn't the only one," says Buggy while grinning.

They widen their eyes and Elder Nyon wants to ask, "Y-you, don't tell me you-."

Buggy tells her to stop with a silencing sign, so she stops her question. They don't need to be that smart to understand what he meant. So they don't ask anything anymore and just start the procedure to remove their marks. But before they start, Dela puts a piece of paper with a picture on it in front of Buggy.

"What is that?" asks Hancock.

"A picture of Gorgon's eye to match the story you made up," says Dela.

"No, I know that, but why are you showing that?" asks Hancock.

"Well, our Lord here sucks at drawing, so he needs a guide to reshape the marks," says Dela.

Buggy is quite stunned seeing Hancock believes Mantis immediately. He doesn't know what they were talking about when they were going around Amazon Lily, but it seems Mantis received Hancock's trust already.

"Sigh, the thing that I want from you is information. I want you to be my informant. You are a Warlord, so it will be easier for you to get information from the Marine & World Government. At the very least, I want you to tell me anything you hear from them like what happens when the Warlords have a meeting with Marines, or when they call you for something. Well, anything," says Buggy.

The Boa sisters calm down when they hear that because it's not a difficult thing to do. They just need to tell Clown Pirates anything the Marines told them.

"If you do that, then we will be allies and my crew will always be ready to help you. Of course, we can sell weapons to you, but everything will be hidden so that the Marines won't sniff it. Any weapon you buy will be customized and use different technologies than the ones we use or sell to fool the Marine & World Government. We will do all of that if you can provide important information," says Buggy.

"So if we give you more information, we will get more benefits too?" asks Sandersonia.

"Yeah, this is a business, after all," says Buggy while smirking.

The Boa sisters look at each other for a while before looking at Elder Nyon. She nods to them and they also nod.

"Alright, we'll take the deal. It's not that bad, after all," says Hancock.

"Good, we won't make direct contact from now on to keep our alliance a secret. I will give you a White Denden Mushi to secure your call, so always use it when contacting us. Also, always remember this. Your alliance with the Marines & World Government will end sooner or later because pirates and justice can't stand side-by-side. So try to find their weaknesses as much as you can," says Buggy.

"I know that," says Hancock haughtily.

Buggy just smirks and leaves the room with Mantis & Dela because their business here has ended now. It's time to continue their Calm Belt exploration. But now Buggy is excited to know what he will get from his new spies.
