Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 317: Restarting

The Clown Pirates have returned to New World using the same method as before after spending 8 months on East Blue. They take care of a few things first in New World, mainly about their business through The Caribbean. There are also many pirate crews that want to join their fleet, so they need to take care of them first.

After they finish everything, The Clown Pirates go to Paradise again. Buggy has listed the things he wants to do and exploring Paradise is the first on the list. They haven't finished exploring Paradise before because they needed to leave as the time to attack Beast Pirates has come.

So now, they will finish their exploration in Paradise. It's also been a few years since they last set a foot on any island in Paradise. So they all agree to start exploring Paradise from the beginning.

That means they will explore it from Ruff's home island. It won't be just an exploration, it's also time for some of the crew members to go home for a moment. For those who came from Blue Seas, they will go there in the future. For now, they will focus on exploring Grandline.

The Clown Pirates have collected every known island's Eternal Pose. They even collected the Eternal Pose for Marine Bases. But they won't go there, for now, because it will become a troublesome problem.

They go to Ruff's home island without trying to hide anything, unlike when they went to East Blue. There's no need for them to go stealthily, after all, so they just go openly. The Marine has let them go around on East Blue freely, so going around on Paradise won't be a problem.

The crew arrives on Ruff's home island which has a gigantic volcano in the center of the island. As soon as they land, Ruff runs to the town because he wants to meet his mother. Everyone laughs at him and teases him by calling him Mommy's boy, making him grumble along the way.

After the crew secures the ship, they go to the town together, only leaving 5 people to guard the ship. They are creating a ruckus when they reach the town. This is Grandline, so the people here know about what happened in New World, and they know just how powerful the Clown Pirates are.

But the locals who know them are not that wary of them because they know Ruff is their crew member. The locals are still talking about them though because their crew is the center of attention in the world lately.

Although they talk about the crew, the locals aren't afraid because they know the Clown Pirates and Ruff. It's the newcomers who are very wary of them. The newcomers are afraid that the Clowns will destroy this island on a whim and kill them all.

"Wow, so this is the first island that many people visited when they enter Grandline," says Yamato.

"Yeah, but I want to experience coming here through the Reverse Mountain too," says Alan.

"Weren't you originated from here?" asks Jack.

"No, my brother & I were from a different island on a different route. It's also the 2nd island in that route and we never pass the Reverse Mountain," says Elen.

"It's not the time for us to go through the Reverse Mountain. We will finish exploring Grandline first before we can go there. Someone has a promise to be fulfilled, after all," says Buggy while looking at Brook.

"Yes, my previous crew promised Laboon that we will meet him again through the other side of the wall. I am the only one who can fulfill that promise now, so I won't go to Reverse Mountain before fulfilling that promise," says Brook.

"You hear him, so we will explore Grandline till the end before going down the Reverse Mountain," says Buggy.

"Does that mean we will go to Laugh Tale?" asks Alan.

"I don't know, but even if I go there, I won't take you kids with me," says Buggy while smirking.

"Eehh? So mean~," says the kids while pouting.

"If you want to go there, then do it with your own power," says Buggy while walking away.

"Our own power? What does that mean?" asks Yamato.

"I don't know, you can ask him, but it seems he won't give you any answer," says Alan.

The kids are busy wondering what Buggy means and soon they arrive at Ruff's home. They thought they will see a heartwarming reunion of a mother and son, but they don't. What they see is Ruff being chased by his mother who seems angry while holding a broom in her hand.

"What happen?" asks Cricket.

"Do you think I know?" asks Palu.

"Uh, let's leave before we get dragged into this," says Buggy.

Everyone agrees and turns around to leave, but they are too late. Ruff has seen them and runs toward them while asking for help. Everyone doesn't want to get involved, so they run away as fast as possible.

If Marine or big Pirate Crews see this, they will be dumbfounded. An Emperor Crew with total bounties in billions is running away from an old woman with a broom. Kaido will cough up blood if he sees the man who defeated him is afraid of an old woman.

"CAPTAIN, HELP ME?" shouts Ruff while running after Buggy.

Buggy looks back and he can see Ruff's mother staring at him intensely. It's as if she is saying, 'I dare you to do that if you want to feel this broom on your ass'. It sends a shiver down his spine and Buggy runs faster.

"JUDE, RUFF SAID HE MISSED HIS MOTHER RIGHT? HELP HIM!" shouts Buggy while blinking an eye.

Jude understands it immediately and nods before looking back at Ruff. Suddenly, under Ruff's feet, a lot of ash particles appear. The ashes catch his feet and trip him. He falls and looks at his crew members who are looking at him with not-so-sorry faces.

"Rest in peace, my friend," says Enel while closing his eyes and bowing his head a little.

Ruff widens his eyes and says, "DAMN YOU TRAITORS! I'LL REMEMBER THIS. I'LL HAUNT YOU IN YOUR DREAMS. YOU'LL REGRET THIS."

That is the last thing they ever heard from Ruff, on that day. He gets caught by his demon-like mother after his friends betrayed him. It's just their first day here, but they've been put in danger already. Grandline is truly scary.

Anyway, The Clown Pirates explore the island after being saved from Ruff's mother. They don't know why she is angry, but that's a family problem, so Ruff needs to solve it himself. The others just want to enjoy their adventure on this island, after all.

But well, they'll know the reason sooner or later even if they don't want to. And the next day, they finally know it when Ruff & his mother go to their ship. Ruff looks very tired though. It seems he gets an earful of nagging from his mother last night.

"So, why were you so angry yesterday?" asks Mantis while serving food to everyone.

"How could I not get angry? Do you know what this damn son of mine said when he come home? He asked me 'Mom, are you still alive?' That's what he said. Did he expect me to have died or what?" asks Ruff's mother angrily.

Everyone looks at Ruff in disbelief before sighing at the same time. Ruff gets flustered and says, "A-alright, alright, I made a mistake, that was a very poor choice of words. But you don't need to be so angry at-." Ruff stops talking when he sees his mother glaring at him.

The crew sighs in relief because it's not a big problem. They thought Ruff's mother was angry because of something big. Well, maybe it's something big for her because her son has just returned but he asked her like that.

Anyway, things are well after that, and they can explore the town peacefully. No one dares to mess with them and even if some dare to do it, they are just too weak for The Clowns. Defeating those people require no effort whatsoever.

The Clown Pirates enjoy their time on the island and they take their time exploring it. They are not in a rush, after all, and they are also expanding their information business here. Well, they take it slowly, and with this, their Grandline exploration has started again.
