Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 354: Just Another Deal

Doflamingo's attack on Buggy doesn't end well for him. Buggy never liked the guy to begin with, although he likes his character as a villain. But never as a human being.

After Buggy caught Doffy's kick, he pulls the guy's leg and punches Doffy in the stomach. Buggy doesn't even use haki, it's just his pure physical power. But Doffy already coughs a lot of blood as he flies back very fast.

Doffy crashes into a cliff and it gets destroyed by the impact. The rubbles and snow bury Doffy, making his crewmates panic. They immediately aim their guns at Buggy and shoot their weapon at the same time.

But none of their bullets hurt Buggy because he catches all of them. He only uses basic colorless Haki, so none of them know how he catches the bullets without any scratch. Then Buggy drops the bullets to the ground, making their eyes widen.

"Stop, Deon! They're not worth our time," says Cricket from the top of a tree.

Deon has already sneaked behind the Donquixote family. His punch is just a mili away from Pica's back when Cricket stops him. He pulls his hand under the Donquixote family's stunned gazes.

"Consider yourselves lucky, you bastards," says Deon coldly as he walks toward Buggy.

Cricket gets down from the tree and walks toward his crewmates. There are just 4 of them, but they already make the Donquixote family nervous. Then Doffy comes out of the rubble after opening a path using his Strings.

There's blood around his mouth and he is holding his stomach. He walks weakly while looking at Buggy and the other Clowns. Then he looks at Corazon that gets treated by Manba before looking at his crewmates.

"Let's go," says Doffy before walking away.

His crewmates follow him with bitter expressions but they don't question him. They all know that even Doffy doesn't want to fight The Clown Pirates. It is clear that they don't stand a chance against the 4 Clown Pirates.

Well, they don't even stand a chance against even 1 of the Clowns. Manba or Deon can wipe them out alone in a very short time. Their levels are too different with massive gaps in power and experience.

After the Donquixote family leaves, Buggy walks toward a treasure chest. Corazon has a panicked expression, but he can't do anything because Manba is holding him. He can only watch with a worried expression as Buggy opens the chest.

"So you're here, Trafalgar's kids," says Buggy.

Law is protecting his little sister behind him while looking at Buggy with a wary expression.

"I like your spirit, boy, but you don't need to worry, I won't harm you and your sister. Don't you remember me, boy? Well, I won't blame you if you forget. It has been 7 or 8 years I think," says Buggy.

Law seems confused, but then he widened his eyes as he finally remembers something. "Ah! That red nose! You're the guy that my father always told me."

"Oh, it seems he told you about me. Then this will be quicker. Come with me, I'll protect you & your sister until you're old enough," says Buggy.

"My father said that I can trust you, but I've seen many things happen. Even if he trusted you, I can't," says Law with a suspicious look.

"Well, that makes sense. But it will also be difficult for you to survive on your own. You might not worried about yourself, but what about your sister? Ah, maybe you want to go with that guy? I thought you hate Marine though," says Buggy while pointing at Corazon.

Law is still not sure on what to do, so Buggy continues. "By now you should understand that not all Marines are bad. However, I still don't think it's a good idea to be connected to them. The fruit that you've just eaten is very valuable for the Marine. It has a power that only a few people know and that power is the reason why that Flamingo wanted it so bad."

"World Government, or to be precise the Celestial Dragons also want it. They will do anything to obtain what they want even if they need to destroy this world. You should've known from your dad that the World Government hid the fact about Amber Lead so that your people would keep mining it. They also killed everyone despite knowing that Amber Lead syndrome isn't infectious, right?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, my father told me everything. But it's also the more reasons why I become more suspicious of you. You didn't help us when the extermination was done. But now you suddenly appear and want me to follow you while knowing the fruit's real ability. So you must've wanted that power instead of saving us," says Law.

Cricket & co are impressed by what Law said and his quick wit. None of the kids in their crew will ever say something like that. They aren't that smart, after all, but they sure are strong for their ages.

Buggy laughs loudly hearing what Law said, "HAHAHA, YOU'RE NOT BAD, KID. You really are Trafalgar's son, you're as smart as him. Then how about this? Let's make a deal, a trade I'll say. I'll offer you something, and you'll offer me something too."

Law thinks for a while and looks at his sister before saying, "Alright, what kind of deal?"

Buggy smiles and says, "Then I'll offer you protection and my man Manba there will teach you medical knowledge. You might not know this, but he is one of the best doctors in the world right now."

Law raises an eyebrow and looks at Manba who already finished treating Corazon who has slept because Manba sedated him. He hasn't learned much, but Law has seen a lot of treatment in the past. Just from the bandages on Corazon's body, Law can understand that Manba is a genuine doctor, although he can't say that Manba is the best just by looking at some bandages.

"And what do you want from me?" asks Law.

"It's not just you, it's the 2 of you. I don't need anything from you right now, it's in the future. You just need to do some operation procedures for me every once in a while when I need your skills. However, I will never ask you to use your fruit's ultimate ability because I never wanted it in the first place," says Buggy.

"Just operations?" asks Law suspiciously.

"Yeah, what do you think I'll ask? I came here to obtain Ope Ope Fruit because of its ability to help doctors perform miraculous operations. If you haven't eaten it, I would give it to my doctor there. But you've eaten it, so I don't have any choice but to ask for your help. Well, it's not like there's no other choice at all though," says Buggy.

"What's the other choice?" asks Law.

"You better not know it now. So, what's your answer?" asks Buggy.

Law thinks for a while and looks at his sister who then whispers something to him.

He nods and asks, "Can we add more terms?"

Buggy nods and Law says, "Help me destroy Donquixote Family and World Government. The Donquixote family really tried to kill Cora-san, while the World Government was massacring our people, our parents."

"Sure, but I won't do it for you, I will make you able to do it yourself. This is not my war, after all, this is yours. Also, revenge is sweeter if you do it yourself," says Buggy.

Law nods hearing that, "Alright, I'll take the deal."

Buggy smiles and shakes the little man's hand before getting up. He tells Manba to take the kids with him back to the ship. He, Cricket, & Deon will pick up all the treasures here even though they don't know where these came from.

"Wait! What about Cora-san?" asks Law.

"Don't worry, kid. The Marine will take care of him. He is an Admiral's favorite son, after all," says Buggy.

Manba leaves with Law & Lami, while the other 3 are gathering the treasures. When they're about to finish, a group of Marines comes. The one who leads them is someone that Buggy knows well enough.

"Oh, good night, Mrs. Tsuru," says Buggy.

"What are you doing here, Clown Lord?" asks Tsuru.

"Hahaha, I'm sure you know it already. Anyway, I'm quite busy, so I'll take my leave. Tell Sengoku that he doesn't need to thank me," says Buggy while leaving.

Tsuru's eyes widened when she hears what Buggy says. He was just saying that he knows who Corazon is. Only a few people know about it, so it really surprises Tsuru.

Tsuru then says, "It seems we are still underestimating him even with everything he has done."

With Tsuru's order, the Marine then takes Corazon and returns to their HQ. Corazon's survival is another change that Buggy made. But he doesn't know what effect it will cause in the future.
