Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 22: Trechery or Smart Strategy?

Buggy take the case that Wisco threw back to them and give it to Mantis.

"Keep it for me!"-Buggy

"What are you-"-Mantis

"Finishing what we've started."-Buggy

Buggy & Cricket then walk forward to the thugs & mafias. Buggy draw his shortswords, while Cricket take out his flintlocks. The mafias also start to take out their axes, while the thugs take out their iron & wooden bats.

"Take care of those little thugs, i'll take care of these people in good clothes!"-Buggy

"Aye aye!"-Cricket

Cricket didn't need any other command, and he start to shoot. The thugs got startled and they scatter around to avoid the bullets.

"What's wrong? You're afraid of bullets? Then you shouldn't mess with pirates!"-Cricket grin widely

While Cricket is playing around with the thugs, Buggy is facing the Axe group. He grin and rush to the group without any fear. Mantis is worried about Buggy who rush like that, and look in horror as an axe cut him in half. But then, her jaw drop in shock when Buggy's half body start to move.

"Just what is he?"-Mantis

The mafias are surprised too, and Buggy use this chance to attack them. He use his favourite sword spinning attack to cut them down.

"Split Split Double Saw!"-Buggy

The Double Saw attack cut down the mafias one by one. While those who try to attack Buggy from close range get kicked and elbowed by Buggy. Their axes are useless, so they try using their fists, but Buggy can dodge and split his body to avoid the attacks.

Buggy didn't have any difficulties and win his battle fast. Cricket also win after some rounds of shooting. Those thugs are not so tough, and only have good backing behind them. Now, only Wisco & Pecco are left, so Buggy & Cricket approach them.

*WARF WARF*

Wisco's big dog suddenly bark loudly and attack Buggy. Buggy just detached his right hand to punch the dog's jaw from below, knocking it out.

"You trained your dog well, but you shouldn't ride a dog! Don't you have horses? I bet you do, but just can't ride it."-Buggy approach Wisco

"W-w-what do you want to do?"-Wisco hide behind Pecco, and both of them are trembling

"What do you think?"-Buggy grin creepily, and Cricket also follow suit

"M-my d-dad won't forgive you if s-something happen to me."-Wisco

"Ooh, how scary~. But you shouldn't threaten someone whil hiding like that."-Cricket grab Pecco and pull him away, so Wisco isn't protected anymore now

"HIII, DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!"-Wico panicked when Buggy crouch in front of him

"If he want to come, then let him come! I will beat him up too."-Buggy grab Wisco's head

"If he can come before you become a pulp, then maybe i'll stop."-Buggy grin sadistically

Buggy then hit Wisco's face multiple times, and Cricket also hit Pecco. Both Wisco & Pecco try to fight back, but they can't. Buggy & Cricket are just too strong for them. They also rarely feel pain like this, so they're more focus on their pain rather than fighting back.

"Bring them back! And tell his father, that if he don't like what i did to his son, then come here with all he got!"-Buggy throw Wisco to his mens that still conscious

"Y-you'll pay for this."-Mafia 1

"Make me pay then!"-Buggy grin

The ones who are still conscious take their unconscious comrades and run away. Buggy & Cricket then return to the restaurant to resume their meal. Mantis is just standing on her place, stunned.

"Hey, don't just stand there! You still haven't finished our order."-Buggy

Mantis come out from her stuppor and point her finger at Buggy & Cricket.

"Y-You guys, did you know what you've just done?"-Mantis

"Yeah, we beat up some people."-Buggy

"Some scums."-Cricket

"Ah, that's right."-Buggy

"You guys, you better leave this island before the Red Axe come with all their mens! I'm thankful for your help, so i don't want to see you die here."-Mantis

"Why should we listen to you? You don't have authority over us."-Buggy

"I JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU HERE."-Mantis

"He's right, lady. He's the captain, so he didn't listen to anyone's order, and i only listen to his order."-Cricket

"Also, we're your customers, so you should listen to our order. We still have some orders that haven't been cooked, so you better cook them now!"-Buggy

Buggy & Cricket enter the restaurant, leaving the stunned Mantis.

"Tsk, whatever, you can die if you want it."-Mantis

Mantis throw the case back to Buggy and it hit his head. Buggy didn't think much and just pick the case. Then they continue their meal and drink that get interrupted before.

~In Red Axe's base building~

A middle aged man in red blood suit is sitting on his couch while smoking a cigarette. He is Visco, the leader of Red Axe Mafia Gang. Then, there is his right hand man, Taki who wear a buttler suit.

"What'd you say? Someone beat up that useless son of mine?"-Visco

"Yes, there are 2 people that beat up the young leader when he try to take that Mantis girl."-Taki

"Hmph, all because of one girl. I told him to just take her by force, but he insist on making her surrender by herself."-Visco

"What should we do, leader?"-Taki

"Altough he is a useless son, but he is still my son. The only one who can beat him up is me. Bring our mens! Let's see how tough those 2 pirates are."-Visco

"Understood."-Taki

Taki leave to call all their mens to attack Buggy & Cricket. Sometime later, the whole mafia group that have over 1000 members, march toward Mantis' restaurant.

~In Mantis' restaurant~

"Are you sure you didn't want to leave? They'll come soon you know, their base is rather close."-Mantis sound worried

"Don't worry, we'll beat them up again. More importantly, give us more food! We need a lot of energy to fight, hahahahaha."-Buggy

"That's right, we can't fight with low energy, hahaha."-Cricket

"BE MORE SERIOUS! THEY HAVE MORE THAN 1000 MENS, 1000!"-Mantis

"Oh, that's certainly a trouble. I think we'll need that."-Buggy

"Are you sure? We will wake the whole town up."-Cricket

"They'll wake up when there's a fight with 1000 mens anyway."-Buggy

"Hmm, you're right."-Cricket

"What are you talking about?"-Mantis

"Hehehe, show her!"-Buggy

Cricket grin and take the money case to the table. He open it and Mantis only see many stacks of money there. But then, she open her eyes wide when Cricket remove the money to the sides.

"W-what are these red balls?"-Mantis

"They're bombs."-Buggy grin

"What?!"-Mantis is shocked

Below the stack of money, are many red balls with skull drawing. These are bombs that Buggy made in the past 2 years. He know that the Buggy from canon can make good bombs like these, so he learn how to make it.

He haven't had any use for them till now, but he just kept on making them. Buggy know it will be useful in the future, especially for his crew. Good weapons & ammunitions are very important for a crew. That's why he spent money to learn a lot about these things, and prepare for the future.

"Y-you've planned to explode these bombs from the start?"-Mantis

"That's right. We've placed a timer that will explode the bombs after 1 hour, but because they refused it, we turn it off."-Buggy

"They're some lucky bastards, that's for sure."-Cricket

"You'll destroy your money for that?"-Mantis

"Money? What money?"-Buggy smirk

Mantis frown and check the stacks of money, then she got surprised. All these stacks are fake money, only the top parts are real money.

"They say pirates are trecherous, indeed we are, but it's all just a game of strategy. In the end, what's matter is victory. After all, winner write the history."-Buggy grin
