206. Giving Hope

After receiving the electric therapy, everyone feels their bodies get a lot better than before. They feel that their muscle & bones are getting stronger. All of them feel energized and feel that the result of their training so far has appeared.

Enel does the therapy on everyone in the crew including Buggy & the executives. But their electric dosages are different from normal members. They are strong, so they need stronger electricity to stimulate their cells.

After doing the therapy for everyone in the crew, Enel feels his devil fruit mastery increased. Doing detailed and delicate work like this is far more difficult than making big attacks. He needs to be precise and very careful when controlling his lightning, after all.

"How is it? Are you all satisfied?" asks Buggy to his crew.

They all answer at the same time, "YES, CAPTAIN."

"Good. Now, remember these things! We will do this therapy once per week. The result of this therapy will get better the more you train because it just hastens your progress, not actually giving you power. So you better work harder to get a better result in the next therapy. If it goes well, we will be the strongest pirate crew!" says Buggy vigorously to motivate his crew.

The crew members cheer happily and they thank Buggy & Enel. Then Buggy dismisses them and they all immediately train because they are full of energy now. Buggy lets them train but tells them to sleep at 11 PM because rest is also important.

"Strongest crew, huh? That's a big ambition," says Cricket while grinning.

"Ambition needs to be big or it will be meaningless. But it also needs to be something that we can achieve. Being the strongest crew is very difficult, but it's not impossible. Besides, if it can motivate them, then I'll even say that we'll take over the world," says Buggy.

"But none of us here want to do that, we just want to be free and do whatever we want," says Cricket.

"That's why I didn't say that. Who would do something so troublesome like taking over the world?" asks Buggy while shaking his head.

"Well, I'm sure there are people with such ambition out there. We never know," says Cricket.

The next day, all crew members are training vigorously again. They are still hyped by the result of the electric therapy last night. But Buggy tells them to not force themselves too much or they'll get injured instead, which won't give them any benefit.

So they all now just train at their training time that has been scheduled by Dela. But they all promise to train more seriously so they will gain better results later. All of them are very satisfied with this new program and now they all have hope to be strong like the executives too.

But they all forget that as they grow stronger, the executives will also get stronger. The executives' progress will be even faster than theirs too. Talent is also important, after all. But the normal members will still be able to get much stronger than they are now.

On the 2nd day, Buggy resumes his exploration on the island. Only Dela & Jude follow him now because Ruff is too engrossed in his new research. Buggy let him be because that guy will never leave his lab when he is focusing on his research.

The day goes well without too many problems that will always come to pirates like them. Stuff like fighting or arguing with others is normal for pirates like them. But at least the Clowns can minimize it and don't make too many problems.

On the 3rd day, the Clowns get a new member, which is a doctor. Well, to call him a doctor is quite wrong because he is a poison expert. He can make many types of poison and also make their antidotes.

Manba found this man when he tried to find a new team member. His medical team doesn't have enough people to handle their whole crew that has 54 people in it now. He never planned to get a poison expert, but then he found the man through some gossip and recruited him.

Poison is an important subject to learn but most people are afraid of it so they avoid those with a good knowledge of it. But it is very important because many pirate crews and even Marine use poison.

So they need someone who studies it to counter those. They can even use poison on their weapons too if they want. Having a poison expert will surely increase their options and prevent problems regarding it.

The poison man's name is Bisa, which is quite young as he is in his late 20s. He is very untidy with dirty clothes, long untrimmed brown hair & beard, and he even smells bad. This guy is always studying poison that he never takes care of himself.

Buggy doesn't like his crew to be dirty, so he makes Bisa clean himself and gives him better clothes. Bisa also gets his hair & beard trimmed after that and now he looks better. He is not too handsome, but he is quite good-looking actually. So his bad habit of not cleaning himself is wasting his good point.

Manba will take care of the new guy and teach him to take better care of himself. Nothing else worth mentioning happens on the 3rd day and the 4th day finally comes. This is their last day on this island and now they will move to the next island that they've planned.

"Deon, any info about the Marine?" asks Buggy.

"Yeah, they have known our position after we encountered Sengoku before. I was quite surprised that they were just finished a war with Whitebeard Pirates, but that's not really strange. Sengoku has surely reported about us and I thought that they'll send a unit to chase us," says Deon.

"They don't?" asks Cricket.

Deon shakes his head and says, "They don't send anyone. I think it's strange considering this place is still near with G1 base which is the biggest Marine base after Marineford. So they must have many troops ready there, but they don't send anyone."

"It's not that strange actually. Now we are in New World, a totally different place with a totally different level from Paradise. In Paradise, the Marine needs to control dangerous Pirate crews themselves. But in New World, other pirate crews will help them do it," says Buggy.

"So they want to let other crews take care of us?" asks Palu.

"Yeah, it's not that rare anyway. Many rookie crews that have just entered New World get destroyed by senior crews that have stayed in New World for a longer time. These crews also keep targetting rookie crews to get more members. Their favorite targets are Supernovas, so we are on their radar," says Buggy.

"Ah, we have 5 people with bounties higher than 100 million," says Palu.

"That's right. Such a crew will surely gather everyone's attention. The Red Hair Pirates are also having a hard time right now because many crews still chase them. Every crew in New World needs to be strong or they'll get eliminated. Forcing rookies to join them is the easiest way because rookies usually are still naive and think they are the best. Rookies like that are the easiest targets for them," says Buggy.

"Heh, naive rookies, huh?" asks Cricket playfully.

"Hmph, we will show them who the naive ones are," says Enel, followed by everyone's agreement.

Buggy grins and says, "Yeah, let's destroy them."
