Chapter 110: I Want to See Her!
"Is that so? Hahahaha. Now, tell me about the person whose existence even you find hard to believe. Who is it? If I'm not mistaken, this is the surprise you have for me, right?" Rayleigh asked, stroking his beard.
"Hahaha, nothing can be hidden from you, Uncle Rayleigh. But the people of the whole world were deceived by Captain Roger's wife, Portgas D. Rouge. Captain Roger has another posthumous son, named Portgas D. Ace."
As soon as Buggy finished speaking, Rayleigh shot to his feet. Shakky also looked at Buggy with utter disbelief in her eyes.
"Buggy, are you certain about this news?" Rayleigh asked Buggy with a completely serious expression.
"I've investigated it from beginning to end; there's no mistake. I have already met Ace and spoken with him. He should come to see you in a while. You'll understand when you see what he looks like," nodding, Buggy replied with great certainty.
"Is that so? This is truly extremely unexpected and wonderful news. I never thought there would be another thing to look forward to. Buggy, you've worked hard!"
By saying this, it was clear that Rayleigh had misunderstood Buggy, thinking he had gone through a lot of hardships to confirm Ace's identity, such as breaking into the underwater prison.
"It was nothing, Uncle Rayleigh. Without your guidance back then, I wouldn't have come this far," Buggy said with great sincerity.
"It was all your own changes and efforts; it didn't have much to do with me. Hmm, by the way, what are your plans after this? The title of Warlord of the Sea shouldn't be what you want, right?" Connecting the dots, Rayleigh easily figured out that Buggy had been forced to accept the Warlord title.
"Yes. After infiltrating the underwater prison, Kuja City was targeted by the Five Elders. The recruitment letter was sent directly to Kuja City. The sisters of Kuja have helped me so much; how could I possibly implicate them? But I will remember this humiliation. So I plan to teach the Five Elders a lesson, to let them know who they can threaten, and who they shouldn't have provoked from the very beginning." Regarding the matter of being forced to accept the Warlord title, although Buggy hadn't said much, he had been holding a grudge.
"It's good that you have your own plans. The only advice I can give you is to always remember your true intentions," after speaking, Rayleigh, feeling that was enough, stood up and walked outside.
"Buggy-chan, I'll be looking forward to your performance," Shakky said with great anticipation.
"Just wait and see. I'll definitely give you a huge surprise," nodding, Buggy put down his cup, got up, and then took Hancock for a stroll through the shopping street.
In the evening, when the scattered members had all returned to the "Thor," Daz Bonez once again started the ship and left the Sabaody Archipelago.
Two days later, at Drum Island in the first half of the Grand Line, after Buggy sent Chopper ashore, he directly ordered Daz Bonez to depart.
It wasn't that Buggy didn't want to meet Dr. Kureha. The key was that what he was about to do next would have very exaggerated consequences, so much so that even Buggy couldn't guess to what extent it would anger the Five Elders. To prevent the Five Elders from taking their anger out on others, Buggy tried his best not to give them any targets.
As for Rayleigh, Buggy wasn't worried. After all, the right and left hands of the former Pirate King were not to be trifled with.
After leaving Drum Island, the "Thor" took about a day to arrive at the entrance of the Grand Line, Twin Capes.
Without staying long—Uncle Crocus wasn't very strong, and Buggy didn't want Law's mentor to be implicated—Buggy just told Crocus the news about Ace and then left Twin Capes directly.
After notifying the two seniors and sending Chopper back, and with these trivial matters completed, it was time to concentrate on executing the plan to subvert the Warlord system.
Of course, Buggy hadn't forgotten about opening the Southwest Tunnel. But for Buggy, this was both the first and the last mission he would accept as a Warlord. So, he would do it, but only before he decided to abandon the Warlord title. As for now, the title still had some use. Before he was done using it, Buggy didn't plan to deal with anything related to the Southwest Tunnel for the time being.
On Sandy Island in the Grand Line, two years later, Buggy arrived here again. But this time, Buggy wasn't here to look for new companions, but to pay a visit.
Rainbase, Alabasta Kingdom. The headquarters of the Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile. After landing, Buggy's group came directly here.
Looking at the largest casino in Rainbase in the distance, Buggy led the members of the Red Nose Pirates directly towards the main entrance.
Just as they reached the main entrance of the Rain Dinners casino, a man with a scar splitting his face in two appeared before Buggy and the others with a sudden gust of wind.
"All smoke and mirrors!" Seeing the man's entrance, Paula said with great disdain.
"Buggy, what do you want, coming here?" Glancing at Paula, the man completely ignored her and instead asked Buggy.
"We're both Warlords. I just haven't met the other members yet. Compared to meeting at Marine Headquarters when summoned by the World Government, I'd rather pay a visit. So, here I am," looking at Crocodile, Buggy replied faintly.
"Speak plainly." Although Crocodile didn't know Buggy well, he knew from Buggy's past that this red-nosed man would never visit without a purpose.
"Alright. I heard you've recruited a bounty criminal who has been hunted by the World Government for many years. I'd like to meet her. Is that okay?" Buggy spread his hands and replied, somewhat bored.
"Her? So you came for her. It seems the Red Nose Pirates' intelligence network is truly well-informed. But what if I say no?" Although Buggy had brought all the members of the Red Nose Pirates, and their aura alone made Crocodile feel very oppressed, the Sand Crocodile had his own pride. Even against the Red Nose Pirates, he wouldn't back down one bit.
Of course, Crocodile was not the kind of fool who didn't know his own limits, so he didn't speak in absolutes, just using a "what if."
"It was a rare trip to Alabasta. If I don't see the person I want to see, I'll probably be in a bad mood. And if I'm in a bad mood... hmm, I definitely won't help you destroy this country. How about I go and destroy the recently famous Baroque Works instead?" Completely ignoring Crocodile's tone, for Buggy, this guy's strength was not even in the range of what he needed to be concerned about.
If Crocodile wasn't also a part of Buggy's plan, he couldn't be bothered with him.
His brow furrowed deeply. Crocodile's gaze towards Buggy became fierce and murderous, but in just an instant, this look was hidden away.
"If you can find her, you can see her however you want," Crocodile's underlying meaning was: but don't blame me if you can't find her.
"Are you sure you want me to find her?" As he spoke, a strange aura began to emanate from Buggy's body.
