283. Need to Leave

After defeating the CP0 agents, Buggy calls someone from Deon's team. It's a man named Moris, the one who ate Past Past Fruit with the ability to see the past through an object. Buggy tells him to find the other CP0 agents' location.

"Uh, Captain, I can't use it on a living being," says Moris.

"I never told you to use it on this guy. You can use it on his mask, hat, clothes, whatever," says Buggy.

"Ah, you're right," says Moris in realization.

Buggy sighs as he watches Moris takes the man's mask. The man can't do anything about it with his body being chopped into many parts like Kaido. Moris then uses his power on the mask and he sees everything that happened around the mask in the past.

"Only 2 people remain. They are in a submarine in the north, it is underwater and hasn't entered Wano's territory yet," says Moris.

"Submarine, huh? Then, we'll also use our submarine," says Buggy.

"But Torpedo only can carry 3 people including the helmsman," says Deon.

"So? It won't be a problem if the ones who go are Cricket, Palu, and Moris, right? Moris will show the way while those 2 will take care of the agents. Or maybe we can just sink that submarine," says Buggy.

"NOOO! RESEARCH! SUBMARINE! DATA!" shouts Ruff who suddenly barges in and holds Buggy's leg while looking like a zombie.

"A-Alright, we won't sink the submarine," says Buggy, freaked out by Ruff's expression.

"Well, I won't recommend destroying it either. I just found that there are other people too in there," says Moris.

"Who are they?" asks Buggy.

"Pirates, rebels of a country, scientists, and even Marines," says Moris.

"What a strange composition. But we might get something out of this. Moris, you go with Palu & Cricket. Tell them to keep everyone in the submarine alive, including the agents. They can do anything as long as everyone there is alive," says Buggy.

Moris nods before he leaves. Buggy then orders the ones who stay to round things up. They all immediately tied up the defeated agents' heads because Buggy has chopped their bodies and shaped them into a ball like Kaido's body.

Buggy then places their heads in the same jail as Kaido. They can talk or argue as they want in there. It will be a very funny sight, after all. Bodyless heads talking to each other will be very hilarious.

"Be nice to each other, okay? I'll return you to your mommies if you behave," says Buggy with a mocking tone, ignoring their curses.

Buggy laughs as he leaves them and goes back to meet Oden. Oden has sent his ninjas to find if there are other spies like the CP0 agents in the country. There's no way Orochi & Kaido just work with World Government if they want more profit.

"Oden, I think my crew can't stay here any longer. Marine & WG will send more people at us and staying in a place is not beneficial. So we will leave tomorrow," says Buggy.

"As I thought, that will be the case. Alright, I won't ask you to stay any longer. It's not like I can force you to stay too. I don't want to have my body chopped before I realize it," says Oden while grinning.

Buggy also grins and says, "Don't worry, I won't turn you into a meatball."

"But you don't deny that you'll chop my body," says Oden with a bitter smile.

"It will be fun, after all," says Buggy as he turns around and leaves.

Oden just sighs before he calls his assistant and tells something to the man. The assistant nods and walks away hastily.

"Sigh, there are just too many problems to open our border," says Oden tiredly.

Buggy arrives at his crew's camp and gathers everyone. Surprisingly, Little Jack is also there, although he has a swollen face and is being dragged by Enel. Yamato has become quite close with Alan & Elen because they are close in age.

"Listen! We will leave tomorrow because of a situation. Do what you want tonight but I want you to be ready to sail tomorrow," says Buggy.

"Eehh~," says everyone disappointedly.

"Don't 'Eeh~' me! Blame the World Government for sending some bastards here, disturbing our rest. Anyway, we'll leave at noon, and I don't want anyone to be late. That's it, dismiss!" orders Buggy.

They all look at each other and then, "Booo~!"

They booed Buggy and then immediately run away. Buggy gets pissed and splits his body into many parts to hit their butts. He understands their disappointment but it's still pissed him off.

After punishing the insolent bastards, Buggy goes to meet Hitetsu. He asked the old guy to repair his swords because they were damaged in his battle against Kaido. Their devil fruits abilities damaged them more than the clashes against Kaido.

"Are they done, old man?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, I've repaired them, and even strengthen them again. Now they won't get damaged again even if you continuously use their abilities," says Hitetsu.

Buggy takes his sword and flows his haki on them. He immediately feels the difference. His haki flows easier on the swords so he can use their abilities easier too.

"These swords seem to have gained spirits. They won't respond to others' Ryuo and only accept yours. I've tried it and they actually rejected mine," says Hitetsu.

"Well, I've heard a theory that devil fruits have a kind of souls, spirits, or minds of their own. Swords also gain spirits as they get used in a lot of battles. So maybe they grew faster because of that and they only recognize me as their owner," says Buggy.

"They'll be a pair of peerless swords when you can make them black," says Hitetsu.

"Yeah, that's my goal. Old man, do you know how to make them black?" asks Buggy.

"I don't know. The only black sword that I know is Shusui, Wano's sword that was lost a few years ago. Ryouma, the one who made it black used it all his life, and they've gone through many battles. As long as you keep using them and feed them Ryuo, then maybe they'll become black swords one day," says Hitetsu.

'Sigh, I know that story too. So there's no good information, huh? Well, whatever, I'll ask Hawk Eyes when his Yoru becomes black,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy then asks about another thing. He asked Hitetsu to teach his crew's blacksmith, Gill, so he asks about Gill's progress. Hitetsu says that Gill only needs more experience now by handling more weapons.

After finishing his business there, Buggy excuses himself. Hitetsu seems to be hesitating about something but keeps silent. Buggy doesn't realize it and just leaves the workshop.

"Sigh, he is very close to Oden so I just can't bring myself to tell him," says Hitetsu.

Buggy doesn't realize anything and goes to a wasteland. He wants to try his swords and this is the best place that he can think of. There's no one here so he can do what he wants.

He swings his swords multiple times while activating their devil fruits. It really becomes easier to use haki and their devil fruits. He uses less haki energy to create the same output as before, it's a very satisfying result.

Buggy finishes his test after an hour and goes back. He returns at the same time as Cricket, Palu, & Moris. They've finished their job perfectly because it's very easy for the current them.

"How is it?" asks Buggy.

"We've subdued the agents as you ordered, along with the submarine, and the captured people," says Cricket.

"Have you interrogated those people?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, but I guess we need to leave it to Deon's team to get real answers," says Palu.

"Alright, call Deon. We might get some useful things," says Buggy while grinning as he walks to the beach, his hands are itching for action.
