Transcended as Lord Buggy

Chapter 102: Human Cannon

After the Clowns won their battles, they go to their ship. They'll leave immediately before Marine's reinforcement come. But Ruff hasn't returned even after they finish their preparations.

Luckily, Ruff shows up when Buggy is just about to send Manba to search for him. All of them grin when they see what Ruff drags behind him. It's a tied-up Angelo that also has green stuff covering his body.

"What will you do to him, Captain?" asks Cricket.

"No one can play with us from our backs like this what this guy did. We need to make an example so people won't try it again. Take him to the ship," says Buggy.

The crew takes Angelo to the ship and they go to the Main Island's port. On the port, Buggy orders Ruff to shoot an empty cannon. It gathers people's attention and they look at the Clowns.

They look at Buggy who stands on the railing with Angelo under his foot. Angelo has woken up, but he can't move his body that has been tied up completely and his mouth is sealed too.

"Hear me, all of you bastards! This guy has called the Marine to capture us when he knew he can't defeat us himself. Well, it's not a problem in the pirate world, but it's a problem for me & my crew. I will respect someone who tried to fight me but got defeated rather than a schemer like him. We've defeated the Marine, so he is the only one left," says Buggy.

Buggy's speech surprise the people there. But it's not about Angelo, it's about the Clown's victory against the Marine. The Clowns have won against a Rear-Admiral unit just with 7 people.

"Prepare the cannon!" orders Buggy.

The Clowns take out a big cannon and it confuses the people there. But then they get stunned when the Clowns load the cannon with Angelo. They insert Angelo in the cannon and aim it to the sea.

"I won't kill you myself and makes my hands dirty. Whether you live or die will be decided by the sea and yourself. I hope you can swim far with this condition because this cannon can shoot really far. Ah, and beware of Seakings," says Buggy while grinning sinisterly.

Cricket suddenly put a lot of fish baits in the cannon. They stick on Angelo's clothes & body. Angelo widens his eyes because the baits will make seakings & predator fishes come to him.

Angelo wriggles around and tries to escape from the cannon. But it's futile and the Clowns ignore him. They aim the cannon to the open sea and get ready to shoot at Buggy's command.

"This, people, is what will happen to those who play behind our backs. We don't like being played like this. If you're a man, then don't hide and face us yourself," says Buggy to the people who gather there.

Then Buggy looks back to the open sea and says, "Shoot!"

Ruff lit up the fuse and then the cannon shoots.

*BOOM*

A very loud sound is produced by the cannon. Everyone can see Angelo flies very far to the sea. It will be up to his luck and fate whether he'll survive or die.

But luck isn't on his side because a Seaking smells the fish bait as he falls on the sea. He also can't swim because his body gets tied up. Angelo can't do anything as the Seaking opens its mouth and eat him.

The Clowns don't know what happens to Angelo at all. They just feel relieved after removing a pest. They never did something like this, but what Angelo did has really got on their nerves. If they don't do something like this, then it will repeat in the future.

The people who watched what the Clowns did to Angelo don't react too much. They just know that the Clowns aren't easy to deal with. These people have seen people being killed or tortured, so this won't surprise them anymore.

The Clowns then leave the Archipelago and go to the next island. Their journey will get harder after this. Defeating a Rear-Admiral's unit without any casualty will make the Marine see the Clowns higher than before.

It's also a little problematic because the Marine have known about their power and abilities. Now Buggy's & Jude's devil fruits abilities will become public information. They won't be able to use it as a surprise, but it's not really a problem.

Sooner or later, their devil fruits abilities will be exposed. It's better to know that fact, so they won't underestimate their opponent. To fight devil fruit users, the Marine will send people that can counter their abilities.

Those people aren't necessarily haki users that can touch devil fruit users' bodies. They can send people who use blunt weapons to fight Buggy. Or they can send people that have seastone coated weapons to fight Jude.

The Clowns sail on the sea and celebrate their victory. It's their first battle with Marine in Grandline, so it's worth a celebration. Well, they always celebrate everything. They just need a reason to have a party.

"I'm sure the Marine will look at us differently now. They will raise our danger level and maybe raise our bounty," says Cricket happily.

"Will I get a bounty too, I wonder," says Manba.

"Maybe, we have caused a big impact by defeating so many Marine soldiers with 6 people, after all. There aren't many pirate crews with such feat. So I'm sure they will give us new bounties too," says Jude.

"6 people? Ah, that's right, I didn't fight the Marine. They shouldn't know about me, right? I don't want to be a wanted man this soon," asks Ruff warily.

Ruff doesn't want to get noticed by the Marine right after he left his home. He wants to adapt to this new life first.

"Maybe not, you're a new member and have not appeared for that long. Maybe they won't notice you. Even if they are, they won't be too wary of you because they don't know your strength," says Buggy.

"Phew, that's good then," says Ruff in relief.

The Clowns have a party for some hours before focusing on their way to the 3rd island. They do their own things while there isn't any trouble. They train, play, fishing, experiment, etc.

At night, Buggy remembers that he wants to discuss something with Ruff & Palu. He calls them and discusses some weapon concepts. These concepts are from the canon story.

Buggy tells them about Thousand Sunny's Gaon Cannon, Beasts Pirates long-range cannon, Pacifista's beam, etc. He doesn't remember every unique weapon from the canon because it's been 3 years since he got sent here.

These weapon concepts seem absurd to Ruff & Palu. But they know that those weapons are possible to make. They just don't know how to make them, but they're up to challenges.

"Don't worry, Captain. I will think about this and make sure that we can make these weapons. But I can't say how long it will take for me to finish them," says Ruff.

"Don't worry about time. Just do what you can to make these weapons. You also can make your own improvements if you think it is better," says Buggy.

"Alright. I just need Palu to be ready to build prototypes anytime," replies Ruff.

"Well, I can do it. I just need to build them, after all," says Palu.

"Palu, I have another task for you. It's not about weapons, but about the ship, our next ship," says Buggy.

Palu gets interested and listens carefully. Buggy asks Palu to make a blueprint of their new ship. He tells Palu the things that he wants like appearance, sizes, and color. Palu knows more about technical stuff, so Buggy leaves it to him.

They talk for another hour before they go to sleep. Buggy is excited right now because these weapons are from 20 years in the future. He has a big advantage by knowing some future knowledge, so he will use it to the max.
