Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 215: Execution



Chapter 215: Execution

After defeating the Beasts Pirates, Enel does a double check to make sure that all the enemies are dead. Many people are looking from afar and the Clowns ignore them. But Enel still uses his power to hear them in case there are some Beasts Pirates' men.

In the meanwhile, Manba is treating the injured ones with his team. He wants to treat Enel but the guy still wants to inspect the enemies' conditions. Only after he finishes can Manba treat his injuries which are the worst from everyone.

"Hey, do you think Captain knows that your opponent has a power that counters yours naturally?" asks Manba while treating Enel's injuries.

"I'm sure he knows and that's why he assigned me to fight this guy. Captain always said that the best way to grow is by fighting strong enemies. This guy isn't the strongest enemy for me, but he is the worst. If I can win against him, then surely I must get stronger. That's why Captain made me fight this guy," says Enel.

"Are you guys done yet? Vice-Captain called me just now and told us to gather in the Mayor's residence. Magnus will stay here with the men and prevent anyone from leaving," says Jude while walking toward them.

"Anyone?" asks Magnus.

"Yeah, anyone without any exception," says Jude.

"Alright, I'll sink every ship that tries to leave," says Magnus.

Manba hastens his work and then they go to the Mayor's residence. Enel has become a mummy with bandages all over his body, but he still can walk normally. He refused to use a wheelchair and choose to walk instead because he doesn't want to appear weak.

Sometime later, they arrive at the Mayor's residence. In front of the residence, there are many tied-up people. Most of them are Beast Pirates who don't join the war because they have other jobs.

Buggy & co have caught them but haven't killed them yet because Buggy has a plan for them. Enel, Jude, & Manba enter the residence and see Buggy & co in the front room, waiting for them. Buggy's group laughs seeing Enel looks like a mummy.

"Hahaha, is that a new fashion, Enel?" asks Palu while laughing loudly.

"Tch, shut up! Manba just overdid himself," says Enel unhappily.

"So, was your opponent good? I hope you improved a lot now," says Buggy.

"As I thought, you know his power, don't you? You should've told me so I could prepare for it," says Enel.

"What's the use of it? Unexpected things always happen in a war, so you need to be ready for everything," says Buggy while smirking.

"Alright, alright, you're the boss. Here, my improvement," says Enel while showing his newly acquired A-Haki.

"Oh, it's good. The hardness is good for someone who has just awaken it," says Cricket as he checks Enel's A-Haki.

They also check Manba's newly acquired A-Haki. It is not as hard as Enel's Haki, but Manba can imbue it into his weapon already. His strong desire to use A-Haki on his weapon has resulted in this development.

After that, they move to their next plan which is to get this island's denizens' hearts. They bring the people that they've caught to the main plaza and gather everyone on the island including miners and innocent prisoners.

Deon has made sure that the prisoners are innocent by looking through many documents. They can't release those who did real crimes if they want to get people's trust. Releasing these innocents will make people trust them more.

After many people gather, Buggy starts his speech and shows Solax's dead body. Then he shows the Mayor that has been captured. It makes the people surprised because they never thought that the Beasts Pirates & Mayor's group will get defeated.

Buggy then tells them that his crew doesn't wish to conquer this island and just wants to defeat the Beasts Pirates for a personal reason. Hence, they don't need anything from this island, even the coal resources or money. He will let the people here do what they want with their island.

Then Buggy let the people do what they want with the men that have been captured. The people are not sure of what to do until someone throws a stone onto the captives. After that, the others follow suit and throw many things too.

It lasts for quite a long time because the people here have deep resentment toward these captives. It can be said that they've become these captives' slaves for years. Now they have the chance for revenge, so they do it until they're tired.

After they are satisfied, Buggy asks if some brave people want to execute the captives. Everyone hesitates, but then 13 young men walk forward and say they'll do it. The Clowns give them sharp weapons for execution and they take the weapons they like.

These 13 never kill before, so they hesitate even though they said they'll do it. But it's normal for people who never kill to hesitate. Buggy tells them to not force themselves before he beheads a Beast Pirate.

"If you're not ready, then don't kill. The burden of the first kill is always heavy, so you need to think it through," says Buggy.

The 13 men clench their hands and then they move forward to their targets. They already have people that they want to kill, after all. These 13 have their reasons, but mostly their reason is revenge for their family members or themselves.

After some hesitation, one man finally brace himself to stab his target with a spear right on the heart. It triggers the others and they start to kill their targets while shouting their reason like to avenge their parents.

Some more men then step forward and follow these 13 to kill their revenge targets. The people who see it don't get afraid but get relieved instead because they feel they have been avenged even though they don't do it themselves.

It takes an hour for all the captives to be killed. The Clowns also killed some people who don't get killed by the civilians. Then they all put the corpses on a ship and burn the ship before sending it into the sea.

Buggy tells the people that all of this will be his crew's responsibility so they don't need to worry. After that, he sends Cricket, Palu, & Magnus to hunt Seakings for a feast. While they hunt, Buggy will have a meeting with some representatives from the island's denizens.

In the meeting, Buggy immediately tells them that the Beasts Pirates will try to recapture this island again. It makes them worry but then Buggy reassures them and says that his crew will help them. He gives them some denden mushis and tells them to call his crew if Beasts Pirates come again.

"Um, may I ask why you do all of this?" asks a middle-aged man.

"Well, as you know, we are pirates. In New World, pirate crews are targetting each other and our target is Beasts Pirates. So when they come again, just say that my crew is targetting them," says Buggy while smirking.

"Then, do you wish to make this island your territory?" asks a young man.

"No, I'm not interested in territory, it's a hassle. I just like to roam around the world," says Buggy.

"A-Are you sure? If you make this island your territory, you will get money as protection fee you know," says the middle-aged man.

"So you want protection, huh? Sorry, but it's still a no. It's not that I don't want to help you, but our crew's name isn't that big yet to make other crews afraid of us," says Buggy.

The island representatives get dejected because they really need protection. Then Mantis gives them a suggestion. The island can use their crew's name as this island's protector after they defeat Beasts Pirates.

It will prove the Clowns' strength to the world, so pirate crews will think twice to attack this island. The representatives get happy hearing that and they agree. Buggy gives Mantis a stinky face because he really doesn't want to manage a territory.

The representatives know it, so an old man gives a suggestion. "Um, how about this? You don't need to manage this territory, we will do it ourselves. From now on, we will train our people so we can protect ourselves. We will just ask for your help if we can't handle it."

"Sigh, fine, do as you wish," says Buggy.

The representatives cheer and the meeting ends. Then they go out and hold a party to celebrate their victory.
