Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 204: New Trick

A man who runs from the guards suddenly catched Dela and made her hostage. Dela is panicking because she's never been in such a situation. Buggy sighs and approaches the man then touches his back.

"Excuse me, can you release my friend there?" asks Buggy.

The man immediately turns around and shouts, "I TOLD YOU TO NOT GET CLOSER OR I'LL KILL HER."

"Whoa, whoa, okay, calm down man," says Buggy as he raises his hands, but his wrists have gone.

The man is surprised and asks, "Y-You, where're your hands?"

Buggy looks at his hands and then stupidly says, "Eh? Where have they gone? Ah, there they are."

He said that while looking at the man's hands so the man also looks at it. Buggy's detached hands suddenly grab the man's hands. Then Buggy forces him to release his hold of Dela and then she runs back to them. Jude hugs her and calms her down because she's scared.

"W-What the-!? You!" says the man angrily as he tries to attack Buggy, but he can't move.

He looks down and sees that his feet are covered in grey matters. Jude has grabbed his feet so he can't move at all as Buggy also holds his hands.

The guards look at it dumbfoundedly, so Buggy shouts to them, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING, THEN I'LL KILL THIS GUY MYSELF."

The guards wake up from their stupor and immediately catch the man. Buggy really wanted to kill that guy, but he knows it will cause problems with the Kingdom. Such a thing will hinder his peaceful days in this Kingdom and he doesn't want that.

"Will you just let him go like that, Captain?" asks Ruff.

"You must be kidding. There's no way I'll let someone who threatened my crewmate like that go," says Buggy while smirking.

"Eh? Then why-?" asks Ruff confusedly.

Buggy grins and explains what he has done in a low voice to hide it from others. He has inserted some of his cells into the man while they talked before. Buggy entered his cells through the man's skin pores.

After his cells entered the man's body, he assembled them and formed them into a sharp spinning saw. Then he moved that saw through the man's body and made internal damages in the man's body.

"I just made a lot of shallow cuts through his body, so he won't feel it for some time. But internal injuries are dangerous and even if they are shallow, they will make him suffer slowly and eventually die. I will never forgive those who threatened my crewmate's life," says Buggy with a calm expression, but Ruff knows he is angry.

"*Gulp* I don't want to think of what that man will go through. But, what about your cells, Captain? Have you retrieved them?" asks Ruff.

Buggy then shows a very small round plate made of his cells and says, "Yeah, here they are. They're covered in his bodily fluid, so I don't want to put them back inside myself for now."

He has a disgusted look and so is Ruff. Then Ruff takes his water bottle and immediately pours the water on the lump of cells to clean it. After the cells get cleaned and the water dried, Buggy finally puts them back in his body.

The group then goes to a cafe so Dela can get relaxed and calm down. They just relax in the cafe while eating & drinking. Buggy also thinks of something while he relaxes with the group.

'Hmm, if I can insert my cells into my opponents' bodies and attack their insides, I will be able to injure those who are stronger than me. They won't be able to do anything with their insides when I attack them. Maybe I can even destroy their hearts or brain and kill them immediately. Damn, why did I never think of this,' thinks Buggy.

The idea to insert his cells inside his opponent suddenly crossed his mind when Dela was taken captive before. He was angry and wanted to kill the guy but he didn't want to make trouble. So he needed to do it stealthily and this is his answer.

Now, Buggy thinks that this is a good usage of his ability. But he also thinks that even if such a trick is useful, it won't help him grow stronger. He can grow this strong without relying on such tricks, but because he pushed his limit by fighting strong opponents.

'I won't use it as a main weapon, but I can always use it as a hidden weapon. This is something that I'll use in an emergency when I can't defeat my opponents even after going all out. It's good that I found this before I face Kaido. Now I have more weapon to be used against him,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy decides to keep his usual fighting style and only uses this trick when he is cornered. He can't rely on such tricks if he wants to be truly strong, after all. It's not that using tricks is bad, it just won't make him grow stronger like before.

While Buggy thinks of that, Ruff thinks of something too. He is inspired by Buggy's method to attack the opponents' insides using a very small weapon. Ruff wants to make it too and now he puts it in his project list.

The group just relaxes there and then after Dela calms down, they leave the cafe. They resume their exploration and then they find a clothing store. It makes Dela's mood change 180 degrees and she immediately checks the store happily.

The others are glad that she has returned to normal and follow her to check the store. She is very excited to see many kinds of new fashion and buys every model. Then they go on a shopping spree and buy a lot of local fashion items.

They return to their ship in the evening and so are the other crew members. It's a rule for them to return before sunset to have dinner together. Only after dinner can they do what they want again.

While waiting for dinner, Buggy sees his Fishmen members are gloomy. Some crew members are trying to cheer them up but they fail. So he approaches them and asks why the Fishmen are looking bad.

"Well, how should I say this? Uhm, we were just going around the town together. Then we saw some cuties and hit on them. We, the humans succeeded, so they also wanted to try. But they failed and didn't get any girl at all," says a man.

"Damn, this must be a discrimination toward Fishmen," says Siman the Orca angrily.

"Wait! Stop there! Don't keep saying about discrimination. It's not good thinking. Anyway, can you show us how you seduce those girls?" asks Buggy.

The Fishmen look at each other before they nod and show how they did it. Buggy & co have dark faces when they see the Fishmen's seduction method. They are just showing their bodies' appeal like some kind of beast.

"Ugh, I know that they are Fishmen, but I don't know that they seduce girls like real fish," says Buggy.

"If even Captain is surprised, then we are more surprised," say the other human members.

The Fishmen keep showing their bodies' appeal and Siman the Orca asks, "How is it, Captain? It's good, right?"

"As if," says Buggy mercilessly, making the Fishmen shocked.

Buggy then asks, "Is this how you seduce the girls in Fishman Island?"

"Hmm, we never seduce anyone before. The girls just came to us and flirted with us. We are quite famous in Fishman Island, after all," says Siman proudly.

"That means you never hit on girls. No wonder you suck at it," says a human member.

"So they just followed their fish instinct and do what male fish do to get female's attention, huh?" asks another man.

"Sigh, guys, teach them how you do it, this is too stupid for me to handle," says Buggy tiredly as he leaves.

"Aye," says the human members tiredly too.

Buggy walks around the ship while waiting for dinner to be ready. But then, Ruff suddenly runs toward him excitedly while holding something long that is covered by a white cloth.

"Captain, it's finished. Gil has finished it," says Ruff.

Buggy widens his eyes and grins, "Hoo, that's good. Let's test it after dinner."
